36: Second express delivery

Shi Yan sat back in the car and drove towards Tian Song's transport company. He only needed to transport one more item to complete the mission.

Shi Yan summoned his ability panel.

Abilities: Head Deformation, Blood紋 Control +1, Full Body Panel Enhancement, Shadow Transformation, Moon Power, Dan Pill Production, Shadow Gas, Physical Enhancement, Blood Curse, Laser Eye, Hair Extension and Contraction, Flexibility, Underwater Breathing.

An extra skill appeared on Shi Yan's panel: Underwater Breathing. This skill could be said to be useful or useless.

The return route was another road parallel to the one he came on, just in a different direction.

"I wonder how many people will survive this time?"

Shi Yan pondered as he drove. After all, Tian Song sold players, and if every player encountered a monster of Jing Yi's level, it would be very difficult for other players to survive.

As Shi Yan drove back, he also brushed past the area where the collision had occurred earlier. It was perfectly neat and orderly, as if nothing had happened.

It seems the efficiency of this Magic World is quite good.

The car quickly arrived at the entrance of Tian Song's transport company. Shi Yan parked the car in the parking lot at the entrance.

At this moment, Shi Yan's car was the only one in the parking lot; all other parking spaces were empty.

"It seems they really all died."

Shi Yan shook his head faintly, though it was also possible they just returned later.

Shi Yan walked into the warehouse. Tian Song was sitting in the very center of the warehouse at this time.

"Hm?"

Tian Song was slightly surprised to see Shi Yan. He hadn't expected someone to return so quickly this time.

"You are... Shi Yan."

Tian Song squinted at Shi Yan's face, remembering his name. After all, Shi Yan's photo and information had just been sent out by him.

Shi Yan seemed to be the cargo sent to Ms. Jing. He didn't expect Ms. Jing to not keep him. He was really lucky.

Tian Song didn't believe Shi Yan was strong enough to counter-kill Jing Yi, given the significant level difference between them.

Instead, he thought Shi Yan's escape was purely due to good luck.

However, the next one wouldn't be so simple.

A dark glint flashed in Tian Song's rectangular pupils.

"Mr. Shi Yan, I didn't expect you to return so quickly. That's simply wonderful!"

Tian Song's sheep-like face wore a false smile as he praised Shi Yan repeatedly.

"It's nothing."

Shi Yan had a faint smile on his face, his eyes slightly narrowed, making it impossible to tell what he was thinking.

Shi Yan walked to his Zone One, picked up the last box, and walked out of the warehouse.

"By the way, do I need to come back after delivering this item?"

Shi Yan asked.

"Of course you don't need to come back after delivering the last box. A countdown will automatically begin then."

Tian Song smiled at Shi Yan.

Shi Yan nodded, took the box, and walked out of the warehouse, standing behind the small truck.

Shi Yan first scanned the destination for this delivery.

This time, Shi Yan ignored the long string of place names in front and looked directly at the last one.

[Longchang Restaurant, Private Room 63]

Shi Yan's eyes narrowed slightly upon seeing the place name.

Was this to have him deliver himself to the restaurant as food? They weren't even bothering to hide it anymore. What kind of delivery needs to be sent to a private room?

Shi Yan directly threw the item onto the flatbed trailer behind the small truck, then sat in the driver's seat of the cab.

Shi Yan took out Jing Yi's teleportation crystal and summoned her. Jing Yi was already dressed, though a bit disoriented by the sudden teleportation, but she recovered herself upon seeing Shi Yan.

"Jing Yi, do you know Longchang Restaurant?"

Shi Yan asked Jing Yi while examining the map.

"Master, Longchang Restaurant is the largest restaurant here. You should be delivering the second item now, right?"

Jing Yi first answered Shi Yan's question, then seemed to recall something and spoke up.

"Oh? You really knew."

Shi Yan had an expression as if he had already guessed.

"As expected of Master! Every time Tian Song sells items, many people compete, and in the end, only the twenty successful competitors are eligible to leave their address and name with him. He divides the twenty people into ten groups and randomly places them in ten areas. The delivery person's choice of which box to prioritize is completely random."

Jing Yi looked at Shi Yan with admiration.

Shi Yan put down the map in his hand after hearing this. He had already confirmed the location of Longchang Restaurant.

He started the truck directly and drove towards Longchang Restaurant.

The road was peaceful this time; no one came to provoke Shi Yan, possibly because they saw Jing Yi in the passenger seat.

Shi Yan quickly parked the car in front of a very large and luxurious building. At the top of the building's main entrance were four large characters, written in a flowing, elegant script: Longchang Restaurant.

"Master, you must be careful when delivering. The customers in this restaurant are all high-level individuals, and they have a strong hostility towards humans."

Jing Yi reminded Shi Yan with a worried expression from the side.

"It's fine, I'm not going in."

Shi Yan said calmly to Jing Yi, a gentle smile on his face.

"You're not going in, how..."

Jing Yi's words slowly trailed off. She gradually understood Shi Yan's meaning: he wanted her to deliver it inside.

"You're not human, what are you afraid of?"

Shi Yan said lightly.

"Jing Yi understands. I'll go deliver it now."

Jing Yi said respectfully, her heart secretly despising Shi Yan for being afraid to go in himself.

Jing Yi pushed open the car door and walked towards the box on the flatbed behind.

"Wait a moment."

Shi Yan suddenly called out to Jing Yi.

Jing Yi turned her head, looking happy. Had Shi Yan changed his mind?

"The private room is 63. Don't deliver it to the wrong one."

Shi Yan said calmly to Jing Yi.

The happiness on Jing Yi's face stiffened, and she slowly turned her head back. She wasn't actually that scared; she was just a bit lazy to deliver it. After all, the entire restaurant was very large, and there wasn't even an elevator. If she had to go in and deliver it, she didn't know how far she'd have to walk.

As for worrying about others causing trouble for her, Jing Yi wasn't worried at all. The street she was on was regulated and protected by laws.

Except for humans, all species were managed and protected by laws. Anyone who violated the laws and was caught by the Containment Unit would have their souls extracted and their skins peeled.

That's why the monsters on this street coexisted so harmoniously. However, not all streets had Containment Units managing them; some streets were still in a cruel environment of survival of the fittest.

Jing Yi picked up the box and walked into Longchang Restaurant.

"Hurry up and deliver it!"

Shi Yan opened the car window from inside and urged Jing Yi loudly.

Jing Yi turned her head and nodded at Shi Yan, then quickly walked into Longchang Restaurant.

Shi Yan sat quietly in the car, closing the windows on both sides.

The reason he trusted Jing Yi so completely was that he knew Jing Yi was a smart person, and a smart person knew what to do and what not to do.
