105: Chapter 105 The advantage is mine! I can easily crush these two weaklings!
Diamond Five lay on the ground, trying to dig a hole. But after digging for a long time, the shovel's edge bent, and the soil underneath remained as hard as a steel plate.
“Third Brother, I'm out of options too.”
“This foundation has been reinforced as well. It's basically a turtle shell!”
Plum Blossom Three took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down:
“No, we can't force our way in.”
“This array is too strong. Forcing our way in will trigger the alarm.”
“Since we can't get in...”
Plum Blossom Three's eyes darted around, and a sinister smile crept onto his face.
“Then we'll outsmart them!”
“Since that silly girl opened the door for that guy in pajamas, it means she has no vigilance and is very easy to trick!”
“We just need to disguise ourselves and trick her into coming out, or trick her into opening the door...”
Diamond Five's eyes lit up.
“Third Brother is brilliant!”
“So what should we dress up as? Delivery couriers?”
“No!”
Plum Blossom Three shook his head, adjusted his tattered night-traveling suit, and said with absolute confidence:
“That little girl has seen us before. We need to choose a more convincing identity.”
“We'll pretend to be... community volunteers bringing warmth!”
“Or water meter readers!”
The two discussed it and felt this was a brilliant plan.
Thus, they tidied up their appearance and walked up to the indestructible iron-barred gate.
*Knock! Knock! Knock!*
Plum Blossom Three reached out and knocked on the door politely, yet with a hint of urgency.
Inside the house.
Jiang You, who was currently enjoying the 'Cloud Walk' mode, frowned.
“Tsk, who is it?”
“So tactless. Can't they see I'm enjoying myself here?”
Bai Lan, sitting on the sofa, also stopped eating potato chips. Her two fox ears perked up, a look of confusion on her face.
“Eh?”
“Why is it so lively today?”
“Could it be that my other box of potato chips has arrived?”
She put down the potato chips and pit-patted over to the door in her bunny slippers.
Jiang You also curiously stopped the massage chair and poked his head out to watch.
He saw that Bai Lan didn't open the door directly. Instead, she pressed herself against the crack of the door and asked in a sweet, childish voice:
“Who is it?”
From outside the door came Plum Blossom Three's voice, which he was trying hard to pitch higher to sound amiable:
“Um... little sister.”
“We are... from property management!”
“We heard your water meter is broken? We're here to repair it for free!”
“Also, we have the latest community welfare here. Just open the door and we'll give you free rice and cooking oil!”
At the entrance of the cozy little wooden cabin.
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five maintained their professional, fake "community warmth" smiles. Although their faces were still smeared with mud from their earlier digging, this did not affect their confidence as Peak Fourth-Order experts.
Inside, Bai Lan peered through the door crack, her watery eyes blinking twice before she suddenly showed an expression of realization:
“Oh—!”
“I remember now!”
“Aren't you the two sewer repair uncles who were just digging a hole in front of my house, saying you were looking for some green-faced, fanged giant fox!”
Bai Lan pointed at them, looking completely innocent.
“What? Is the sewer fixed? So you changed careers to read water meters?”
The corners of the mouths of the two outside twitched violently.
Diamond Five cursed inwardly, 'This damn brat has a pretty good memory!'
But on his face, he had no choice but to pile on an even more flattering smile, making things up based on Bai Lan's words:
“Right, right, right! Little sister is so smart!”
“It's because when we were fixing the sewer just now, we found that the source of the blockage... might be inside your house!”
“To ensure the water safety of our residents, we must come in to inspect the internal pipes!”
“And...” Plum Blossom Three added from the side, his eyes greedily scanning the inside of the house, “as long as you cooperate with the inspection, our Wu Sheng... oh no, our property management company will also give you two bottles of premium spiritual spring water!”
Bai Lan tilted her head and thought about it. Although these two uncles were a bit ugly and didn't seem very bright, they did indeed seem quite enthusiastic.
“Then... alright.”
Bai Lan pulled the door open and stepped aside, her pink pajamas hanging loosely on her, completely defenseless.
“Remember to put on shoe covers. I just laid down this carpet, though that weirdo named Jiang You has already dirtied it.”
“Come in!”
Plum Blossom Three and Diamond Five exchanged a glance, both seeing wild joy in each other's eyes.
It worked!
This silly girl really is easy to trick!
Once they were inside and the door was closed, wouldn't these two weaklings, who couldn't even lift a finger to fight, be completely at their mercy?
Suppressing their excitement, the two pretentiously wiped the mud off their soles and strutted into this 'lawless land' within the S-Rank Forbidden Zone.
...
As soon as they entered.
A cool, pleasant breeze, rich with spiritual energy that made one's pores open up, rushed over them.
The two were instantly stunned by the scene before them.
A leather sofa, a wool carpet, and that massage chair that looked incredibly expensive...
“Hiss—”
Diamond Five inhaled sharply and muttered in a low voice:
“Third Brother, this environment... is even more luxurious than our headquarters!”
“What on earth is this girl's background? Could she really be Principal Pang's illegitimate daughter?”
Plum Blossom Three sneered, his sinister gaze sweeping across the room before finally locking onto Jiang You, who was slumped in the massage chair, eyes closed, enjoying his 'Cloud Walk'.
At this moment, Jiang You held half a bottle of cola in his hand, with an empty potato chip bag lying beside him. He was sunk into the chair like a boneless creature, his face the very picture of degeneracy.
The silver briefcase he always carried around with him, however, was still nowhere to be seen.
“Hmph, he did hide it.”
In his heart, Plum Blossom Three had already sentenced Jiang You to death.
He signaled Diamond Five with his eyes:
*[Old Five, do you see clearly?]*
*[A naive, sweet young girl with absolutely no spiritual energy fluctuations.]*
*[A useless, lazy bum with weak vital energy who only knows how to lounge and enjoy himself.]*
*[In this round, the advantage is ours!]*
Diamond Five also grinned savagely and shot back a look:
*[Don't worry, Third Brother!]*
*[We are Peak Fourth-Order! In this dungeon, we can run rampant! These two combined aren't enough for me to crush with one hand!]*
*[And look at that woman, her steps are so light and she has no air of authority at all. She's probably just some trash who used connections to enter the dungeon and slack off.]*
After exchanging tactics, the arrogance belonging to the strong instantly filled their chests.
Since they were inside and the door was closed, there was no need to pretend anymore!
“Ahem!”
Plum Blossom Three cleared his throat. No longer faking his flattering tone, he adopted a condescending, arrogant posture, as if he were an imperial commissioner inspecting the commoners.
With his hands behind his back, he walked to the center of the living room, even disdainfully kicking aside a stuffed toy by his feet.
“Hey! You, the one lying down!”
“And you, the one in the pink pajamas!”
“Both of you, get over here! Stand at attention!”
“Routine property management inspection! Show your ID cards and student IDs! And...”
Plum Blossom Three's gaze was like lightning, pointing directly at Jiang You.
“And you, kid, our School Committee has had our eyes on you for a long time!”
“Hand over that silver briefcase you were holding earlier for inspection!”
“We suspect there are contraband items inside!”
However.
Faced with this sudden change of face and harsh scolding,
Jiang You on the massage chair didn't even lift an eyelid.
*Buzz, buzz, buzz—*
The massage chair was vibrating, making Jiang You feel incredibly comfortable. He was currently playing chess with the Duke of Zhou in his dreams.
Hearing someone buzzing in his ear, he frowned slightly. Keeping his eyes closed, he waved his hand with extreme impatience.
“Ah... so noisy.”
“Who's that... the plumber, right?”
“Since you're inside, get to work. Stop shouting over there.”
“By the way, shorty, go draw the curtains over there for me. The sunlight is a bit glaring.”
“And the tall one, go to the kitchen and check if the porridge is ready. If it is, scoop a bowl for me, and add extra pickles.”
Having said that, Jiang You rolled over, adjusted to a more comfortable position, and continued to enjoy his massage.
“...”
Dead silence filled the room.
