94: Goodbye, Wang Hu

"Are you sure that becoming a celebrity will allow me to access the upper class and obtain the resources I want?" Xu Jingzhe asked.

"That's only natural. Just look at Nüwa City's popular starlet Zhao Sisi. When she was first tested, her overall aptitude was barely passing, but she was promoted by the higher-ups, received the baptism of the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid, modified her body, and gained a special ability for serving others, which is why she has remained in a top-tier position for thirty years."

"Do you want to know what that special ability is?" the paparazzi lowered his voice to say.

"I'm not interested," Xu Jingzhe said, contemplating the feasibility of the celebrity path.

This was much safer than trading his vibranium suit.

vibranium, or black gold, was both expensive and rare on Blue Star, and the technology wasn't mature enough to create such a high-tech suit.

Its typical applications were for vibranium daggers, black gold daggers, or for replacing important body parts.

Just then, a group of five people walked past them.

They were walking with their arms around each other's shoulders, laughing and joking.

One of them took an extra look at Xu Jingzhe. At first, he just thought this man was very handsome—the kind of handsome that could turn a straight man gay.

However, when he turned back to look after walking several dozen meters,

he was struck by lightning!

How could that back be so familiar? It was too familiar.

Wasn't he in the Pollution Zone? He might even be dead there, so how could he appear in Nüwa City?

Wang Hu rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things, then strode forward and shoved Xu Jingzhe's back.

Xu Jingzhe turned around, his eyes narrowing.

Wang Hu!

Talk about enemies crossing paths.

"Damn it, it's not that kid," Wang Hu muttered, staring closely at Xu Jingzhe's face.

"Hey kid, what's your name? Hand over your ID card and let me see it."

"Lu Fei."

Xu Jingzhe didn't want to get into a conflict with Wang Hu in the Chemical Zone, as he was only thinking about the Moon Soil Evolution Fluid Pure Liquid and the leaves, so he handed his ID card to Wang Hu.

Wang Hu took it, and seeing that the ID card belonged to an ordinary resident, he felt an inexplicable irritation and couldn't suppress his anger.

He simply decided in his heart to treat Lu Fei as Xu Jingzhe.

"Brothers, this little pretty boy looks too good. Why don't we take him away and enjoy him tonight?"

"Wang Hu, are you feeling lonely?"

"But that's true. Since we're training in Nüwa City and aren't allowed to touch women, using a man isn't bad either."

The others immediately gathered around, clicking their tongues in admiration at Xu Jingzhe's looks.

Wang Hu hadn't originally chosen Nüwa City; he had chosen Adam City, which focused on technological self-modification. After entering Adam City, Wang Hu performed well, moving out of the ranks of the lowest-level personnel to become a combatant.

Every batch of combatants had to undergo a six-month basic Old Art training in Nüwa City or Pangu City to enhance their physical fitness and prepare for later technological body modifications.

"Gentlemen, it's a misunderstanding, a misunderstanding! We'll leave right now."

The paparazzi kept apologizing while pulling at Xu Jingzhe, wanting to leave immediately. If this man became a celebrity, he was bound to be a hit, and his performance stats would skyrocket.

"Slap!"

Wang Hu was overbearing, slapping the paparazzi across the face and cursing, "You want to snatch someone I've set my sights on?"

"A mere paparazzi, who do you think you are!"

Xu Jingzhe walked over, helped him up, and said, "You go first. I'll come find you later."

The paparazzi pulled out his business card, shoved it into Xu Jingzhe's hand, and scurried away.

The Chemical Zone was not a peaceful place; it also had a hierarchy.

The lowest-level personnel couldn't afford to offend anyone and had to serve the high-level personnel; this was their lifelong fate, which was difficult to change.

"Let's go, find a small alley," Wang Hu said.

"Brother Hu, go easy. Don't cause a death; after all, he's a resident of Nüwa City," a brown-haired, green-eyed companion reminded him.

"Don't worry, we'll go easy."

Wang Hu specifically made Xu Jingzhe walk in front. The more he looked, the more it looked like him; his height, his back—it was as if they were carved from the same mold.

He hadn't forgotten how Xu Jingzhe had smashed a brick against his handsome face, breaking his nasal bone.

"Xu Jingzhe?" he called out inadvertently.

Yet, Xu Jingzhe's body didn't even pause for a fraction of a second, and he continued walking forward with them.

"Could it really not be him?" Wang Hu scratched his head, thinking that perhaps he was just tired from his recent training.

However, being tired was just a reason to relax.

The instructor had said not to touch women.

Women were a soul-stealing poison that easily made men's bones soft. He was very obedient, so he would just touch men instead.

The small alley was clean and tidy, with security cameras ensuring that every corner was exposed.

"Yake, it's up to you," Wang Hu said.

"Alright, Brother Hu."

Yake picked up a pebble from the ground, stood at the entrance of the alley, found the right angle, and flicked it with a concealed motion.

"Ding, ding, ding."

All three cameras were destroyed, and the place became a blind spot.

The group rubbed their hands together, eager to have a go.

"Wang Hu."

Just then, Xu Jingzhe spoke.

Wang Hu, who was taking off his pants, was stunned and asked in confusion, "You know me?"

"Of course."

"We're old friends," Xu Jingzhe said, unhurried and smiling calmly.

Among these five, if any one of them hadn't been blinded by lust, they should have noticed that something was unusual about Xu Jingzhe.

He was too calm.

He was too calm; from the beginning until now, he hadn't run or shown fear.

This was hardly the behavior of an ordinary resident.

"Don't try to get familiar with me. Let me tell you, no one will care what my brothers do to you, as long as you don't die."

Wang Hu thought that because they had inadvertently mentioned his name during their conversation earlier, this stunningly handsome kid had remembered it.

What a pity; this bit of quick wit was useless.

"Brother Hu, hurry up."

"Yeah, we still need to eat; we have to go back for training in a while."

"Hahaha, hurry up, hurry up, I can't wait."

Wang Hu took off his shirt, revealing his well-built upper body. It had to be said that compared to before, Wang Hu was visibly stronger.

Every inch of his muscle was filled with explosive power.

"Actually, my name isn't Lu Fei," Xu Jingzhe said, interlocking his fingers and cracking his knuckles as he stepped forward. "My real name is Xu Jingzhe."

"What! It really is you!" Wang Hu was shocked and went limp on the spot.

However.

Xu Jingzhe had already made his move, fast as lightning, and in a few swift motions, he subdued all five of them on the ground.

Wang Hu's eyes were filled with terror as he said, "You, how can you be this strong?"

"You don't need to know," Xu Jingzhe said with a playful smile, pointing to one of the men on the ground. "You go ahead, understand?"

That man was still tough, saying, "We, we are in the same squad, we'll be going through life and death together in the future..."

"Slap!"

Xu Jingzhe slapped him across the face, and his face immediately swelled up like a pig's head. And this was even with Xu Jingzhe holding back; otherwise, one slap would have shattered his skull.

"What, do you want me to slap your left cheek too?"

"I, I'll do it right now!"

"Ah~" a pig-like scream rang out.

Wang Hu was no longer a virgin.

Then, the second one, the third one...

The scene was gruesome.

"You guys, great job," Xu Jingzhe said, giving a thumbs-up in praise.

Then, he walked over to Wang Hu and said indifferently, "It's time to settle things from before."

"Goodbye, Wang Hu."

A minute later, Xu Jingzhe walked out of the alley, leaving five corpses piled together.
