124: Chapter 124 This isn't assassin equipment; it's clearly Doraemon's pocket!

It was already evening by the time they returned to Locust Tree Alley 44.

The sunset's afterglow spilled over the branches and leaves of the old locust tree, draping the mysterious courtyard in a coat of warm gold.

"We're home!"

Reba was the first to jump out of the car. She spread her arms and took a deep breath of the air, which was rich in Spiritual Qi, feeling every pore in her body relax.

Although they had only been gone for two short days, after experiencing the ancient desert city and the ambush in the wilderness...

Returning to this small courtyard, protected by a Formation and guarded by a Divine Beast, actually gave her a strong sense of belonging.

"Home is still the most comfortable place."

Su Yang stretched and instructed Wang Dali to move the pile of miscellaneous loot from the trunk into the courtyard.

"Dali, thank you for your hard work. I'll send you a red envelope later. Go home, get a good night's sleep, and forget everything you saw today."

"Yes! Thank you, Consultant Su!"

Wang Dali acted as if he had been granted an amnesty. After putting down the items, he drove off in his weathered off-road vehicle as if fleeing.

He swore that he never wanted to take on a "gods fighting" mission like this again in his life; his heart couldn't take it.

"Come, come, let's split the loot... oh no, take inventory!"

Su Yang closed the gate and rubbed his hands together.

Aside from the antiques and Materials brought back from the ancient city of Loulan, the most eye-catching items in the pile were the gear stripped from those "Yellow Springs" assassins.

"Let me see what kind of good stuff this group, who claim to be the world's number one assassins, actually has."

Su Yang casually picked up a black pistol with a sci-fi design.

This gun was a size larger than an ordinary pistol, and its body was covered in dense runes.

The magazine wasn't loaded with gunpowder bullets, but with crystals emitting a faint blue light.

"System, appraise this."

"Ding! Item Name: [Spirit Energy Burst Gun (Mass-Produced Model)]"

"Rank: Mortal Rank High Grade"

"Description: A personal weapon developed by Eternal Life Technology. It uses compressed Spirit Stones as energy. The fired spirit energy bullets can penetrate three-centimeter-thick steel plates and have an extra damage bonus against spirit entities."

"Whoa, not bad."

Su Yang fiddled with it.

"Although it's useless to me, it's not bad for Yuqing and the others to use for self-defense."

"Yuqing, catch!"

Su Yang tossed the gun to Ye Yuqing.

"Huh?" Ye Yuqing caught it clumsily, looking terrified. "Boss, I... I don't know how to use a gun! And isn't this thing illegal?"

"We are currently a specially appointed unit of the 749 Bureau, so carrying firearms is legal."

Su Yang said righteously.

"Besides, this gun has no recoil and is idiot-proof; just pull the trigger. If anyone dares to come to our Agency and cause trouble in the future, just give them a full clip."

"Oh... alright then."

Ye Yuqing carefully put the gun away. Although she said she was afraid, her eyes revealed a hint of excitement.

This was the real deal!

What woman doesn't have a bit of a violent streak?

Next, Su Yang dug out a black cloak.

The cloak felt cold and silky to the touch, like some kind of special synthetic Material.

"Ding! Item Name: [Optical Camouflage Invisibility Cloak]"

"Description: Combines optical camouflage technology with Daoist 'deception' runes. After wearing it, one can achieve 99% optical invisibility and block most thermal imaging detection and low-level Divine Sense scans."

"Good stuff!"

Su Yang's eyes lit up.

This is simply a Divine Artifact for stealth and assassination!

"Mary, this is for you."

Su Yang tossed the cloak to the Vampire maid.

"Wear it when you go out to buy groceries or scare people, so you don't attract attention."

"Thank you, Master!"

Mary happily put on the cloak. With a flicker, she actually vanished into thin air, leaving only her voice drifting in the air.

"Wow! You really can't see me! This is so much fun!"

Besides these, there were also [High-Frequency Vibration Daggers], [Miniature Spirit Power Shield Generators], and all sorts of miscellaneous special equipment.

This group of assassins were practically gift-giving boys; the equipment on them combined was definitely worth over a hundred million!

"What is this?"

Reba dug a silver briefcase out of the pile of miscellaneous items.

The case was heavy and had a fingerprint lock on it.

"Don't mess with it, be careful of bombs."

Su Yang took it, lightly swiped his finger over the lock, and with a flash of golden light, he brute-forced it open.

"Click."

The case popped open.

Inside were twelve neatly arranged... blue injections.

Each injection contained a blue liquid emitting a faint fluorescence, looking very mysterious.

"Ding! Special Item Discovered: [Gene Enhancement Serum (Type III)]"

"Description: A core product of Eternal Life Technology, extracted from the genes of a certain deep-sea giant beast. After injection, it can significantly enhance human physical functions, granting strength and recovery abilities beyond that of an ordinary person."

"Side Effects: A certain probability of causing mental mania or physical mutation."

"Gene serum?"

Su Yang looked at these serums, his brows slightly furrowed.

"It seems that Eternal Life Technology really has something in the field of biotechnology, being able to extract the genes of deep-sea giant beasts."

"However, this kind of semi-finished product has side effects that are too great; we won't be using it."

"Dahei!"

Su Yang called out.

The Black Demon Flower in the backyard immediately extended a vine.

"Take it as fertilizer; don't waste it."

Su Yang dumped the box of priceless gene serums to the Black Demon Flower as if dumping trash.

The Black Demon Flower didn't refuse anything; it rolled up the serum and stuffed it into its mouth. After eating, it shook its leaves as if still wanting more, as if the stuff also had nourishing effects on plants.

With the looting finished, everyone had received gifts they were happy with, and each of them was all smiles.

"Alright, the inventory check is over."

Su Yang clapped his hands, his expression becoming slightly more serious.

"Next, it's time to talk about serious business."

"Waner, how are the arrangements for that submarine going?"

Liu Waner was fiddling with the Spirit Power Shield necklace. Hearing this, she quickly put down what she was holding and answered obediently:

"I have already contacted the steward from the Family. The submarine is currently docked at a private pier in Jingang, and has been maintained by specialists, so it can be launched at any time."

"However..."

Liu Waner paused, speaking a bit hesitantly:

"That is, after all, a decommissioned submarine. Although it was converted into a yacht, the core power System and deep-diving equipment have aged. If we want to dive to the deep sea at eight thousand meters... I'm afraid it's a bit of a stretch."

"A stretch is exactly what's needed."

Su Yang wasn't surprised.

"If mundane technology could just go down there easily, that underwater ruin would have been carved up by various countries long ago; it wouldn't be the turn of those so-called God Hunters to claim it as their own."

"That's why I said we need to modify it."

Su Yang took out the "True Explanation of Qingcheng Formations" and the "Complete Collection of Formations" rewarded by the System earlier, and slapped them on the table.

"I'm going to transform that submarine into a... Cultivation version of Noah's Ark!"

"The hull needs to be inscribed with Vajra Defensive Formations, the power furnace needs to be replaced with a Spirit Gathering Formation, and the torpedo tubes changed into Flying Sword launchers..."

"In short, the more Xuanhuan, the better!"

Listening to Su Yang's wild ideas, the few modern people present were dumbfounded.

Powering a nuclear submarine with a Formation?

This style... isn't it a bit too punk?

"But Boss, this will require a lot of special Materials, right?" Ye Yuqing keenly pointed out the problem. "Just the spiritual Materials for inscribing the Formations would be an astronomical sum."

"Money is not a problem."

Su Yang pointed to the mountain of loot in the courtyard.

"What we lack least right now is money and resources."

A glint flashed in Su Yang's eyes.

"Yuqing, contact the best shipyard in the country tomorrow and poach their best engineers for me, no matter the cost."

"Waner, you are responsible for coordinating the pier and the transport of Materials."

"Let's strive to hammer out this deep-sea warship within a month!"

"Yes! Boss!"

The women responded in unison, their eyes burning with motivation.

Although it sounded crazy, following Su Yang, nothing seemed impossible.

"Alright, meeting adjourned!"

Su Yang stood up and stretched extensively.

"Everyone rest well tonight. Starting tomorrow, we'll be busy again."

Su Yang took out the unfinished task list from his pocket and flicked the three unchecked S-Rank tasks.

"Since these God Hunters like to play cat and mouse, before I go to the deep sea, I'll clear all these dungeons on land first!"

"Next stop... Changbai Mountain!"

"I heard that at the bottom of the Heavenly Lake there, a thousand-year-old... Ice Chi is hidden!"
