473: Mysterious Woman

Xiao Yun and his two companions left the restricted area, preparing to find a quiet place to discuss Jiang Kexin.

Just then, Liu Shihhan said she wanted coffee, so the three of them found a coffee shop and sat down.

Liu Shihhan picked up the menu and looked at it repeatedly, while Xiao Yun and Xia Ming sat facing each other, ready to discuss serious matters.

"Speak, confess honestly."

Xiao Yun said calmly, without wasting words.

"Uh... why does your tone sound like you're interrogating a prisoner?"

"Alright then, I'll change my tone—please proceed."

"So, what specifically do you want to know?"

Xiao Yun immediately fell into thought.

He didn't know much about Jiang Kexin at the moment.

He only knew that her family background seemed to be not simple; although Leijian Group of the Li family was already considered a top-ranked large enterprise nationwide, it only had some influence locally in Haibei City.

In contrast, Jiang Kexin was clearly born into the Li family, but since her surname was Jiang, it indicated that her mother's identity was extraordinary.

However, no matter how profound her background was, the restricted area was not something these people could decide.

As a new emergence that changed the world, the restricted area had already affected all aspects of reality. People with particularly wealthy families might be able to achieve some minor successes by throwing money at it, but that was all.

After all, the restricted area was fundamentally a different logic from reality.

This place was different from real society, where rules were made by people, and there was actually a lot of room for manipulation behind the scenes.

But in the restricted area, there weren't so many human relations. You couldn't just bring a bottle of Erguotou to drink with Seyid and expect him to open all the big safes for you, could you?

Therefore, with such little room for manipulation in the rules, those large groups and enterprises that existed before could only engage in peripheral industries if they wanted to transition into the restricted area economy today.

And the rules within the restricted area were still dictated by the true powerhouses, emphasizing the right time, place, and human harmony.

"Jiang Kexin's strength... why is she so strong?"

With so much information in his mind, Xiao Yun also threw out his first question.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen strong people before, but those he had seen were only relatively strong compared to ordinary people.

When truly compared to Xiao Yun himself, even setting aside the system, those people were incomparable to him. If it were in the games of his previous life, these people would be the kind who couldn't even get a KD of 0.1 without aimbot, not because their KD was 0.1, but because the lowest displayed KD was only 0.1.

And the extraction rate was even in the single digits. In the games of his previous life, most people in this world would have an extraction rate of at most 0.1%, and if the extraction rate could reach 1%, or one percent, it would already be considered very lucky among ordinary people.

Of course, the games of his previous life could not be compared to the ultra-high difficulty real restricted areas of this world.

Ordinary people in this world were not GTI Supermen after all; even facing the most common Asala Soldiers, they would have to fight with all their might to possibly win.

So, on this basis, the question arose.

As a native Blue Star resident, and a young person even younger than himself, why could Jiang Kexin's strength be so formidable?

During last night's Confidential Aerospace, Jiang Kexin's burst of four shots and two headshots left Xiao Yun utterly stunned.

Such an operation, even for a cheater in his previous life, would require maxing out parameters and risking being detected by AI and banned halfway through, just to pull it off.

And this kind of operation, which was already cheat-level in a game, was actually achieved by Jiang Kexin in the restricted area!

"Ah, this... to be honest, I'm not sure either."

Xia Ming shook his head, seemingly also puzzled by Jiang Kexin's strength, his eyes full of confusion.

"To be honest, before meeting her, I never thought there would be such a strong Agent in the world. She isn't even a GTI Professional Agent and hasn't acquired the abilities of a special profession, yet she can do things even I can't... At that time, I highly suspected, is it because our country's GTI is too weak? A girl from Longguo, younger than me, is so much stronger than me? To be honest, I was depressed for a long time then."

"And then?"

"Later, you know, people like her... including you, you're monsters in the restricted area! How can normal people compete with you!"

At this point, Xia Ming's tone was a bit broken, and a bit humorous.

As for this situation, Xiao Yun could only smile helplessly, indicating there was nothing he could do.

"So now I want to know, she's always traveling domestically and internationally, is it just to specifically find top-level Agents like you to negotiate?"

"Uh... you could understand it that way, more or less, but saying 'negotiate' isn't quite appropriate."

When this topic came up, Xia Ming was visibly sweating a little.

Seeing this detail, Xiao Yun immediately raised an eyebrow.

"What do you mean? Could she even force you?"

"This... it's a bit complicated to explain. If you want to hear how she specifically does it, I can describe what I experienced."

"Hmm, just confess honestly."

"Why are you interrogating a prisoner again!"

Xia Ming sighed helplessly, but didn't say much more, and began his narration.

"It happened about half a year ago. I was at the station, still planning to enter the restricted area alone as usual, when she walked over and asked me, 'Do you want a lollipop?'"
