238 Entering the Room
He returned home leisurely and sent a few WeChat messages to Old Wang on the way.
He wanted her to stay with her father for the next few days.
Most likely, Xie Guangjun would not dare to attack Wang Xiaoman as her father was not to be trifled with.
However, there was nothing wrong with being careful.
His parents were far away in Africa. The company’s camp was filled with armed sentries. There was no problem at all.
!!
Kang De thought for a moment, shrugged, and laughed, “What’s there to be afraid of?”
His phone vibrated. Xiaoman had sent another message.
“You’d better be careful. I’ve asked Dad. His father, Xie Ligan, was someone who started doing things during the change of eras. The social system of that era was not complete. There were all kinds of people mixed in and covered in sand. The people who had stabilized themselves in that era until now were all very wild and really difficult to deal with. Although Xie Guangjun is far inferior to his father, his inheritance and influence are not easy to deal with. His reputation in the circle is also very domineering.”
Kang De smiled and replied, “Then I have to experience it.”
The notification that he was typing a message appeared one moment and disappeared the next. After a short while, Xiaoman sent a message, “Of course, you’re not afraid of facing him head-on, but if he uses social connections or other methods to disgust you, it’ll be very difficult. In short, be careful.”
“Okay.”
Kang De thought for a moment and wrote, “Don’t worry, even if the worst happens, he’ll use despicable methods to scheme against me. He’ll even get some poison or something to frame me. Even if it succeeds, you don’t have to worry. At that time, I’ll directly tear down his house and beat up his entire family in front of him. Then, I’ll grab his face and fly all the way to the entrance of the provincial government and turn myself in to the provincial governor. At that time, I want to see if the country believes him or me.”
After a while, Xiaoman sent a ‘wow’ emoji.
“Then have fun.” She said.
Kang De smiled.
“Don’t worry.” He typed, “Play for a few days before you come back.”
After sweeping across the shared bike by the road, Kang De rode to the entrance of the district, locked the car, and walked all the way home. He opened the door and prepared to put the cup of spiked milk tea in the refrigerator.
Then, he thought for a moment, “…Speaking of which, the weather is quite hot.”
Therefore, it was placed in the hottest kitchen.
He was not the one drinking. Why should he ice it? What a waste.
Kang De paced a few steps on the spot and thought about this again. He shook his head.
“No…”
He sighed, “My relatives and friends are not in this city, and my parents are far away in Africa. I’m still a student and haven’t entered society to work. I don’t usually go out and don’t have any bad habits. What method does this Young Master Xie have to deal with me? I really don’t think he has a chance.”
Kang De shook his head and said helplessly, “Let me do it.”
He looked at his phone. It was already past five. Calculating the time, he had been back for more than 20 hours, which was four hours in the other world… Forget it, he should go back.
He walked into the bedroom and snapped his fingers. He entered the white fog world and shuttled back to the other world.
He opened his eyes. Sunlight seeped in through the window and was bright.
Not far away, a woman with red hair sat. When she saw this, she immediately jumped up. “You’re back!”
Kang De hugged her. “I’m back for something.”
This was the strategy that had been decided previously. Before Kang De returned, the gorilla would stay in his room to prevent any ignorant people from prying on or discovering his secret.
It had only been less than four hours in the other world, but the gorilla was already a little lonely. She hugged Kang De and refused to let go. After coaxing her, he took out the snack gift bag and a few sets of beautiful clothes he had gathered from the white fog world. Only then was the gorilla happy, but she still chased after him and asked questions.
Ever since the Holy Seal Islands, she had been very interested in Kang De’s house.
Kang De talked to her for a while before opening the door and saying, “Hello.”
A maid immediately appeared in the corridor. She approached with small steps and lowered her head, “Lord!”
Kang De said to her, “Please invite Mr. Hong San over.”
“Yes.”
Not long after, Hong San rushed over. He glanced at Kang De and did not ask, “Lord?”
Kang De went straight to the point, “Have you checked the magic items seized from the elves?”
This was a huge project. Although the five Dragon Flag Corps had been smashed into peanut butter along with the main force, there should be some that had escaped or were hard. This had to be searched and collected by the scavenging team for a long time. However, the camp of the Dusk Legion had been wiped out by the gorilla’s mercenary group. A large number of captured resources had been maintained intact. All the seized and gains had been stored as Kang De’s private spoils of war and waited for further distribution and processing.
Hong San shook his head and said, “I’ve done a preliminary check, but the results have not been calculated because it’s too detailed. After all, we’re very short of people, especially those we can trust… Wait a moment, I’ll go get the account book.”
Kang De waved his hand and said, “There’s no need, there’s no need. I’m not checking the accounts. I have something useful.”
He had to make it short.
Now, the time flow of the two worlds had been reversed by the power of Akatum. In other words, if he stayed here for an hour now, seven hours would pass on Earth. Although he could use the Dragon God’s power to adjust the time ratio back, why would he do this? Every time he adjusted it, the time anchor of the white fog world would sync with Earth by a minute. It would spend another minute to adjust back. How wasteful.
Therefore, he said simply, “I want two things. If the inventory doesn’t have them, spread the word and buy them from the idlers in Valentine.”
Hong San nodded.
“The first is to collect jewelry without any magic power. I just want good workmanship and craftsmanship. Don’t have any fancy magic functions. This can be done in the long run. There’s no hurry.”
The Cathayan said, “I understand, I understand.”
He did not ask anything he should not ask.
“As for the second method, the sooner the better…”
Kang De hesitated for a moment, then whispered, “Help me collect magic items. Scrolls, equipment, accessories, they’re all fine. As for functions, they’re the kind that’s very suitable for pranking and scaring people. For example, the Invisibility Cloak, the Fear Spell, Soul Summoning… That’s it. Do you understand? The power shouldn’t be too strong, and it shouldn’t cause relatively large damage to the body and mind.”
Hong San nodded and said, “I understand. The low-level interrogation spell group used by the judicial knights and magistrates was proudly declared by the inventor to be a legal weapon that any country with the spirit of the law has to buy. Because the goal of the invention was only limited to mortals, the structure was simple, the magic power was low, it was easy to master, and it was easy to copy. The backlash rate was extremely low, and it brought a large amount of patent income to the inventor.”
“This spell team is only used for public security crimes and criminal disputes between ordinary people. It usually only scares people until they pee their pants and confess honestly. It won’t cause permanent mental trauma. It’s useless against supernatural beings, and it’s also useless against most nobles who have undergone corresponding diet replenishment and mental training since they were young.”
“Alright, this is very magical. Apart from these, make some of the others.” Kang De patted Hong San’s shoulder, “I’ll leave them to you… How long will it take?”
“I’ll do it myself. Some of them will search the warehouse, and others will ask the nobles for help. The remaining ones will buy it from the wild mages gathered in Valentine.”
Hong San calculated for a moment. “It’ll take about two hours.”
That was 14 hours on Earth.
Ah, Young Master Xie, you can sleep well tonight. What a pity.
However, it did not matter. Kang De was not afraid that he would fly.
He said, “Alright.”
Hong San lowered his head and said, “Yes, if there’s nothing else…”
Kang De thought for a moment and asked, “Nothing else happened, right?”
Hong San smiled. “How can it be so fast?”
Kang De returned to his senses and shook his head and smiled. That’s right, it had only been four hours in the other world.
D*mn, the two sides were reversed. This time difference was too hardcore.
After chatting for a while, Hong San bade farewell and left.
Kang De chatted with the gorilla for a while longer and promised to return as soon as possible. Then, he activated his ability and left.
Although he could stay here until Hong San found everything, when he thought about how an hour here was seven hours on Earth, he felt that it was a loss to stay in the other world.
This hour or so was enough for him to sleep fully on Earth.
When he returned to Earth, his phone automatically calibrated. It was already past eleven at night and it was dark outside.
“My biological clock is simply overturned… What a mess.”
Kang De rolled his eyes, washed up, and fell asleep.
The night passed uneventfully. At eight in the morning, Kang De woke up and stretched beautifully. He went to the refrigerator and randomly got something to eat. Then, he snapped his fingers and black light flashed as he returned to the other world.
The sunlight was still bright, but it was a little dark. The gorilla sitting at the table recovered and said in surprise, “You’re back again! So fast!”
“…”
Fortunately, his mental fortitude was already too strong. Otherwise, he would go crazy after making these trips.
Kang De asked the maidservant to call Hong San over again. Just as the other party had said, two hours later, he appeared by the door with an exquisite leather bag.
“Fortunately, I didn’t disappoint you.”
He came to Kang De and opened the bag. It was arranged in an orderly manner. The accessories were all placed in small boxes. There was a row of short wands in the buckle on the side of the package. The scrolls were tied with ribbons and arranged in an orderly manner. In addition, there were bottles of crystal clear magic medicine that emitted various luster.
“It’s all here.”
Hong San smiled and said, “I added a few more bottles of magic medicine. Some repair mental injuries and some heal physical injuries to prevent any accidents. They might be useful.”
Kang De took the leather bag. “Thank you.”
Hong San smiled reservedly and continued, “I also chose a few powerful items of the elves from the warehouse for combat and rapid mobility. There are also some that you requested that are more inclined to concealment and stealth. The scrolls for the interrogation spell group are also inside. I’ve prepared three sets. They should be enough.”
“Apart from that, I also visited a few wild mages on the way. Their magic attainments are not high, only slightly stronger than apprentices. Their combat strength is limited, but they’re useful in other fields, such as chasing debts and being a security guard.”
“You know that combat strength is not the most important thing in that line of work. Deterrence is the most important. Therefore, their limited magic standards are all used to figure out how to bluff. I personally observed them and have to admit that if they use their full strength, in the eyes of people with no magic common sense, they’re simply no different from an Archmage. The sound and light effect is extremely gorgeous. I bought something from them. You’ll like it.”
—D*mn, is it that exciting?
Kang De’s heart itched uncontrollably. It had to be said that Hong San’s arrangement was extremely considerate and thoughtful. Through Kang De’s words, he accurately grasped the user’s needs.
He even considered Kang De’s usual desire to show off.
He said excitedly, “Which one is it? Which one?”
Hong San still smiled and said politely, “There are many things. It takes a lot of time to explain them one by one. Moreover, I can’t remember them clearly for a moment, so I’ve already written the instructions and labels. In our words, there’s everything. All the magic items have also been checked by the three spellcasters. There’s no problem.”
The words of Cathay were similar to Chinese characters. They were similar to traditional characters. To Kang De, they were the kind of words that he did not know how to write but could read. The Chinese brain had its own complicated conversion plug-in!
“…”
What else could Kang De say?
He patted Hong San’s shoulder forcefully. “It’s a pity that you’re not the butler.”
“Unfortunately, I have an even more important career to do now.” Hong San bowed and smiled, “However, when you succeed in the future and want to hide in the forest, I’m willing to be your butler.”
Back in the white fog world.
He returned to Earth.
As soon as he returned, a pile of messages and missed calls were stuffed into his phone.
Before Kang De could take a closer look, his phone buzzed.
Young Master—Xie—
Although it was an unfamiliar number, Kang De’s mood immediately became excited. He clicked to answer. A moment later, the shout on the other end sounded, “Is it Kang De? Which deep mountain forest did you run to? Why aren’t you in the service area? There’s a delivery for you. Come and get it!”
Kang De confirmed the address and goods and realized that the things he had bought yesterday had arrived. They were really fast.
He thought for a moment and said, “Just leave it at the door. I’ll go home later.”
The addresses of the items he had bought yesterday were all filled in. Because there were many things that were strange and a little eye-catching, he threw them over.
After hanging up, Kang De thought for a moment.
Although he could directly transmigrate to his hometown through the white fog world, he felt that it was better not to use this ability so openly. It would not be good if he was accidentally discovered.
Moreover…
He weighed the leather bag in his hand and smiled evilly. “I need an alibi too.”
After returning to the white fog world, he threw the leather bag over. After all, this appearance was relatively eye-catching and strange. Kang De had always been careful. He left home, went downstairs, and took a taxi to his hometown.
There were surveillance cameras from the elevator to the ground floor to the entrance of the district.
Including the online booking order.
It was a huge order. The driver was very happy and chatted along the way. Time passed quickly.
After returning, he greeted the men at the entrance of the village. There were two boxes in front of the door and he moved them in. No one lived in his hometown, but the renovation was not bad and the furniture was complete. For the sake of caution, he installed surveillance cameras. Very good.
After moving, Kang De ran to Xiaoman’s grandfather’s house and agreed to eat tonight.
When he returned home, he closed the door and pulled the curtains. He shuttled back to the white fog world and brought the leather bag over. He sat on his bed and took it out to read the instructions one by one. For a moment, from time to time, a certain person’s strange laughter sounded in the quiet house.
At night, there was a shout from the door. Grandma Wang pushed open the street door and entered. Kang De drove at double speed and packed everything in one go before throwing it back into the white fog world. Then, he jumped down and opened the door. “Yes!”
Xiaoman’s grandparents were usually at home and could casually deal with dinner. When Kang De came over tonight, he made many sumptuous dishes. They were also happy to have their children return to accompany them.
As he ate, they chatted. On a whim, his grandfather even drank two glasses with Kang De.
He chatted with Kang De, who replied calmly. The admiration and love in Grandpa Wang’s eyes became stronger and stronger. The old man had watched Kang De grow up, and now, Kang De’s temperament was calm and composed. His words and actions could simply be said to be generous. This naturally surprised Grandpa Wang.
How could he know what Kang De had experienced? After so many things, he had interacted with those nobles and important figures who were usually high and mighty, and it was because he had the upper hand… Of course, he could gain experience.
“Good child, good child.”
He praised.
Some people said good children, but they said good grandson-in-law in their hearts.
After eating and drinking, he chatted with the two old people for a while. It was already late and it was already past eight o’clock. Old people were almost ready to wash up and go to sleep at this time.
Kang De bade farewell and left. He returned home, inserted the door, and brought the leather bag back. He weighed it for a while before closing his eyes to rest. He waited until after midnight. At this moment, it was late at night and most people had already fallen asleep. It was time to do something—and Young Master Xie’s nightlife had probably just reached its exciting part.
Kang De prepared to move.
He suddenly thought of something—did Xie Guangjun arrange for someone to monitor him and spend money to find a group of hooligans to smash the glass in his hometown?
Just as this thought arose, he shook his head and smiled.
He was thinking too much. Most of the families in this village had the surname Kang. The old people he saw at the entrance were all Kang De’s relatives and elders. Not to mention anything else, just the people he had seen with his own eyes when he was young and had witnessed three armed fights in the village. They were either fighting for the Qingming Festival, competing for the number of policy spots, or standing up for the aggrieved juniors. The customs of the people were simply extremely simple. Let’s put it this way. Even if Xie Guangjun found five vans of people, once they fought, they would have to lie at the entrance of the village.
Moreover, the surveillance camera of his hometown was uploaded and could be checked at any time. As soon as there was any abnormality, it would immediately sound the alarm.
There was no problem.
“No matter how stupid Xie Guangjun is, he won’t do such a lowly thing…”
Kang De had left a spatial anchor in Xie Guangjun’s front passenger seat during the day. He could directly cross it through his shuttle ability. Of course, before that, he had to make a call to test it.
“…Wait.”
Kang De knocked his head. “I forgot about that cup of milk tea.”
After being drugged and left in the kitchen for the entire night, it was probably already spoiled. It was just right to feed Young Master Xie.
With a black flash, Kang De transmigrated back to the white fog world and jumped to his house in the city.
Then, he entered reality from the white fog space.
He stood up and was about to go to the living room when his expression suddenly changed.
The bedroom door was open. Kang De heard the living room. The living room also heard movement here. He gently put down the leather bag. Footsteps had already sounded on the other side.
Kang De strode out of the bedroom and saw a stranger standing there looking at him in surprise. The living room was brightly lit. Two people were sitting on the sofa, putting their shoes up on the coffee table. The other person was opening the refrigerator to find something. There were the cores of fruit and the packaging of snacks on the coffee table. They had eaten a lot.
These people either had long hair or a crew cut. Their clothes were not bad, but they were a little dirty and looked a little sloppy. Most importantly, their temperament and sitting posture revealed a ruffian aura that was alienated by mainstream society.
They were all shocked to see Kang De. The person in front of him said, “Where did you come from?”
No wonder the bedroom door was opened and the cabinet was pulled open.
Kang De let out a long sigh.
From their appearance, temperament, and actions, he had roughly guessed what was going on.
Had Xie Guangjun gone crazy?
However, what was in front of him was the truth what had already happened. Whether Xie Guangjun was crazy or not was something he had to deal with in the future.
The two people on the sofa also stood up.
Although the four of them were surprised where Kang De came from, they did not see him appear out of thin air after all. They thought that he was hiding somewhere. Everyone revealed proud smiles that they had finally seen their prey walk into a trap. They were filled with mockery and joy that they were about to complete their work.
“Sigh, ah, f*ck.”
Kang De rubbed his forehead and sighed in distress, “How f*cking awesome.”
