5: Chapter 5 Preparing for the Expedition

In the NM Continent, whether you are a native born and raised there or someone from elsewhere in the world,

the impression of this continent is, without a doubt, that of a land of magical realism.

There is no need to elaborate on the magic in its literature, life, and art.

Even the underground world is hopelessly magical.

Take, for example, Country ZL, where Zhang Shan suffered a setback.

Its long, narrow territory appears to span from north to south, and its area is not small.

However, more than half of the entire territory is mountainous, and some of it is land completely unusable by humans.

Therefore, the land and resources that can actually be utilized in the country are very scarce.

Added to that, as a former colony, the nation's strength can be described as incredibly weak, and the government essentially adopts a "see no evil, hear no evil" attitude toward the underground world.

To do whatever one pleases and act without regard for the law is the best magical annotation for the underground forces of Country ZL.

Zhang Shan himself has come to Country ZL many times to carry out missions.

Chaotic, it's too chaotic!

Dark, it's too dark!

This is Zhang Shan's intuitive impression of it.

It is a playground for dark forces and a graveyard for the light.

It is the source of all evil.

It is the treacherous gutter where Zhang Shan capsized last night, and it will also be the place where Zhang Shan rises to power in the future!

Zhang Shan fell asleep as the morning sun rose, and now, as the sun sets, Zhang Shan has appeared on the deck of unit one again.

The vastness of the Pacific Ocean is beyond human imagination, so for a day and a night, no one has intruded upon Zhang Shan's maritime territory.

But night is approaching, and it is the perfect time for someone like Zhang Shan to show what he can do.

Eating the grilled fish caught by Zhang Yi from the sea, carefully roasted by Zhang Er in the oven, and handed over by Zhang Shan, Zhang Shan thought happily about how to proceed with his next plans.

Although Zhang Shan, as a king of assassins, has had more than his fair share of experiences where he ambushed someone for three days and three nights without eating, who wouldn't want to fill their stomach before plotting some "schemes and tricks"?

Last night, Zhang Shan passively caused a scene in Country ZL; thinking about it, no matter how stupid the enemy is, they should know by now that Zhang Shan is not dead.

Moreover, with armored vehicles and tanks deployed yesterday, it is impossible for the ZL government to turn a blind eye any longer.

Gangland turf wars and the deployment of tanks are absolutely not on the same power level.

Thinking of tanks, Zhang Shan also feels a headache.

Just what kind of person has he offended that they would be willing to expose the equivalent of a nation's strength just to deal with him?

If it weren't for the system, the grilled fish in Zhang Shan's hand today would probably still be swimming in the Pacific Ocean; how would it be Zhang Shan's turn to eat it?

The enemy really thinks highly of him!

But Zhang Shan is not afraid. "How can one catch tiger cubs without entering the tiger's den?"

Not only does Zhang Shan not intend to leave Country ZL, but he also plans to rely on the system to establish a firm foothold in this chaotic country and find the mastermind behind it all.

I am afraid that even the enemy would not expect Zhang Shan to be so bold as to not only refuse to run away but also be so eager for revenge.

The most dangerous place is the safest place.

Furthermore, only by returning to Country ZL as soon as possible can he find clues and investigate the cause of all this.

Otherwise, given the enemy's performance last night, if he goes too late, the relevant personnel will either have vanished into thin air or been reported dead.

Although he is eager for revenge, Zhang Shan is no fool. Naturally, he cannot just run over and brazenly declare, "I want revenge."

Before, the enemy was in the dark and Zhang Shan was in the light.

Now the tide has turned, and Zhang Shan is the hunter!

Therefore, the top priority now is to hide himself well, and avoid alerting the enemy!

After finishing the grilled fish, stroking the realistic mask and suit in his hands, Zhang Shan had to praise strongman's black technology once again.

After waking up, just as Zhang Shan was thinking in his mind about how to hide his identity, strongman reminded him that there were many auxiliary items in the system mall that could be exchanged.

For example, the caucasian realistic suit currently in Zhang Shan's hands.

Zhang Shan had tried it; after putting it on, he basically turned completely into a caucasian in appearance.

Just like the mechanical androids of the Celestial Master Legion.

Moreover, the material is light, thin, and breathable, and does not affect any of Zhang Shan's operations.

It is simply a black technology version of disguise; no, it is a transformation into a living person!

Zhang Shan did not stand on ceremony and immediately exchanged for three of them, one of which was for a woman.

What dedicated assassin hasn't once been a beautiful "cross-dressing master"?

The most terrifying thing is that strongman can also input the information of the people disguised by these realistic suits, as well as the mechanical androids in the Celestial Master Legion, into the systems of various countries.

Therefore, legally speaking, every realistic suit and every mechanical android is a living person in the world.

Putting on the caucasian realistic suit in his hands and looking at himself in the mirror, Zhang Shan guaranteed that it was so lifelike that even he could not recognize himself.

Let alone the enemy!

After all, the Country ZL he is going to is a country dominated by Western caucasians; if Zhang Shan were to go there as a person of yellow race, it would be too conspicuous.

Especially with a strange yellow-skinned person suddenly appearing, no matter how good the disguise is, Zhang Shan's enemies, who are still hiding behind the scenes, would definitely associate it with Zhang Shan.

But if a caucasian suddenly appears, no matter how suspicious and cautious the other party is, and no matter how rich their imagination is, even if they are suspicious, they would not associate it with Zhang Shan.

Completely changing a person's race—the technology on Blue Star has not reached that level yet.

And Zhang Shan has already decided that in the coming actions, he will play the role of an arms dealer who has just arrived in the NM Continent and is actively expanding the market.

Backed by the system, Zhang Shan does not believe that there is anyone else in this world with more inventory than him.

In this way, even if others are suspicious and cannot investigate Zhang Shan's true identity, at most they will just think that Zhang Shan is well-connected and has clever means of hiding his identity.

Calming down, Zhang Shan opened the system exchange interface, spent some exchange points, and exchanged for an AK47 and a desert eagle.

On the deck, these two widely circulated types of guns lay quietly; as for the Barrett, Zhang Shan could only temporarily give it up.

After all, Zhang Shan is going to show his face, and carrying a Barrett with him would truly be like saying "there are no three hundred taels of silver buried here."

Fortunately, strongman has a system warehouse that can store many of Zhang Shan's things.

Besides, as long as he has money, Zhang Shan can exchange for whatever he wants from the system store at any time.

The AK47 produced by the system is somewhat different from those manufactured on Blue Star; it looks more capable and refined.

The entire gun body has abandoned wooden materials and replaced them with carbon fiber alloy.

As for the desert eagle, it felt much lighter in his hand.

Products from the system are definitely high-quality!

Exchanging for bullets, Zhang Shan tested the feel; they were indeed high-quality goods.

As an assassin, Zhang Shan is proficient in more than just sniper rifles!

After exchanging for the system's black technology bulletproof vest and micro energy shield, Zhang Shan's own equipment was finally fully assembled.

Immediately after, Zhang Shan also equipped every mechanical android of the Celestial Master Legion with standardized equipment.
