Chapter 2466 Practice
"Ha, wasting time talking here when you should be figuring out how to get the money."
When Puno heard there was no money, he immediately lost interest in the conversation. With that, he took a deep drag of his cigarette and tossed the remaining half away carelessly.
"Coming here without money? D*mn it, what a waste of time!"
As Puno turned to leave, Fang Heng called out, "Wait!"
"What now?"
Puno looked back at Fang Heng with annoyance, "By the way, who are you? His friend? Here to help him pay?"
"Not exactly," Fang Heng replied, "but I have a better deal for you. Interested?"
"Hmm?"
"Trade your life for the invitation card."
"Whoosh!!"
A blood-red glow flashed in Fang Heng's eyes!
Puno locked eyes with Fang Heng, and instantly, he was overwhelmed by an unspeakable terror. Every hair on his body stood on end, his heart pounded violently, and his blood flowed uncontrollably.
"You, you..."
Puno felt as if his body was on the brink of exploding, unable to even complete a sentence.
Fang Heng coldly gazed at Puno and said, "I'll count to three. If you agree, just nod."
Before Fang Heng could even start counting, Puno was already nodding frantically.
"Whew!!!"
When the Breed-Boiling Skill was canceled, Puno immediately felt a wave of relief, as if he had just walked through hell. His knees buckled, and he fell to the ground, gasping for air. His forehead and back were drenched in cold sweat, making him look as though he had just been pulled out of the water.
Looking up at Fang Heng again, Puno felt as though he was staring at a demon.
"Hey, stop wasting time. Where's the thing"
"The item isn't with me. I was so scared when I passed by the corpse that I didn't touch anything. I don't know if there was anything on him," Puno said, shaking his head repeatedly. He then glanced cautiously at Simone beside Fang Heng, his voice dropping to a whisper, "I was just trying to bluff him..."
Fang Heng turned to look at Simone.
Simone's fists were clenched, his face flushed with anger. He was clearly very upset, breathing heavily, and unable to speak. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
The big guy seemed to have been made a fool of, and it had cost them valuable time.
Fang Heng thought to himself, nodding, "Alright then, where do you think our lost item might be now?"
"I—I don't know. I really don't know. There are too many gangs in the urban village. This area has a lot of people, and even the police station's personnel aren't clean. It could be them..."
"Don't tell anyone about our business. Can you do that?"
"Yes! I swear!"
Puno nodded frantically.
"Alright. Now stand up and help us book a large private room for the night," Fang Heng said, lightly patting Simone on the shoulder. He whispered, "It wasn't him. No need to waste more time. Let's go."
"Alright, alright."
In just a short meeting of about ten minutes, Simone was already in awe of Fang Heng's methods, quickly following him with a look of obedience.
Back in the newly booked internet café's private room, Fang Heng moved a chair and gestured for Simone to sit at the coffee table.
Simone, somewhat embarrassed, felt his face burning as he said, "Mr. Fang, I'm sorry. I was deceived by him."
"It's alright."
The SSS-level difficulty, coupled with a five-hour time limit, meant it wouldn't be so easy to complete.
When Fang Heng first heard about Simone's account, he didn't think it would be so easy to get the invitation card from the internet café manager.
In the past, he would have likely had to follow various possible leads one by one.
That would have taken a lot of time.
But now...
It was just right.
Having learned a new skill, it would be a waste not to put it to use right away.
Fang Heng flipped his wrist, and a crystal ball appeared in his hand. He placed the crystal ball on the table.
During the Zombie Apocalypse, with tens of thousands of zombie clones grinding experience, his astrology skill had already advanced to mid-tier, Level 19, in just half an hour.
Time to test it.
"Now, merge your thoughts with the crystal ball. Focus on the invitation card you lost and everything related to it."
Fang Heng spoke as he reached out to touch the crystal ball, guiding Simone into the divination state so they could perform the reading together.
Closing their eyes, the scene before them began to blur and fade.
Amid this hazy vision, a dreamlike, surreal scene emerged in front of them.
It resembled the blurred effect of a movie camera lens.
They saw it.
Someone.
The scene appeared to be...
In the footage, two people were talking.
Who were they?
The setting around them looked like a private room.
A luxurious KTV?
The details were unclear.
It would be better if he could zoom in.
Huh?!
With a thought, the entire world he saw suddenly shrank by half!
The camera quickly pulled back, moving away from the KTV room.
Fang Heng soon saw the room number clearly.
VIP Room No. 1?
Zoom in a bit more?
Whoosh!!
The view rapidly pulled back until it extended to the entire street.
A bar!
Clearly now!
Wan Hao Bar!
[Hint: The player acquires partial information through the skill-Divination.]
Fang Heng stopped the divination, patted Simone, who was deep in thought, on the shoulder, and said, "Big guy, we've found our stuff. Let's go."
.....
Wan Hao Bar.
The largest bar in the city.
When studying astrology, Xu Jincheng explained to Fang Heng that the scenes seen through Astrology were occurring in real-time.
Moreover, the information in the scenes was always related to the mission. The degree of relevance depended on the player's ability.
The scene he had just seen was precise enough to identify individuals, and the figures in the scene were very clear.
Based on this, the individual's strength should not be too high.
The mission difficulty was still within a controllable range.
Fang Heng swaggered into the bar and went straight to the second-floor VIP area.
"Gentlemen, this is the VIP area. May I ask if you have a reservation?"
"My friend is inside."
Fang Heng nodded and pushed forward with Simone.
If he remembered correctly...
"Sir."
At the entrance, two black-clad bodyguards blocked Fang Heng's way and said, "This is a private venue. Who are you looking for?"
Fang Heng didn't say a word and continued to advance.
The two black-clad guards frowned and reached for their guns at their waists.
"Stop!"
Beam weapons?
Fang Heng noticed the beam weapons the guards were raising and felt a flicker of interest.
Before he could say anything further, he heard a whoosh near his ear.
"Mr. Fang, be careful!"
"Whoosh!"
Simone leaped from beside him, turning into a black shadow as he quickly reached the two black-clad guards.
"Boom! Boom!!!"
The two guards hadn't had a chance to fire before Simone struck them twice, sending them crashing into the nearby wall. They spat out blood and lost consciousness.
