Chapter 645: Chapter 444 Accidental Encounter with an ’Acquaintance’_2
As long as you follow the right leader, no matter how good or bad your life is afterward, at least you won’t spend your life in a small mountain village doing nothing like he does.
My dad may not be educated, but I think he’s right, so after I met you, I believed everything you said.
Although Lily recently talked to me about having a medical beauty procedure to adjust my face, as soon as I told you about it, you told me not to do it, so I directly rejected Lily.
No matter how much she persuaded me afterward, I never went through with the medical beauty procedure, even though Lily became very beautiful after hers and made me very envious, I never regretted my decision.
Luckily, I listened to you. Later on, she had to spend a lot of money every year to maintain her beauty, but I really didn’t expect that she would end up in such a situation for the sake of money."
"Those who have had myopia surgery, if the effects were really good, why wouldn’t Ma from Shenzhen go have it done? After all, it’s advertised so well, and they claim it is very safe. Why doesn’t he go through with it?
Besides him, look at the directors and chiefs in the hospitals, and those celebrities who frequently appear on TV wearing glasses—they are everywhere. If the laser surgery was truly that good, why wouldn’t these people have it done?"
Hearing her older sister imparting life experiences, the little follower looked at her with an admiring expression.
Seeing the expression on her little follower’s face, even though the beautiful saleswoman felt very satisfied inside, her expression was still very worried, "They are all buying boats, and big ones at that. Could it be that a flood is coming again?
There aren’t any high mountains around Kyoto, should we take advantage of the still-operational flights and seek refuge over there in advance?
But now I’ve finally made it this far. If I really moved to Mountain City, then I would truly be starting from scratch all over again.
I wonder if a flood really happens, whether the boss would think of me, the store manager, and take me with him. Sigh, this is so annoying."
Zachary had not expected to hear so much news just from trying to prevent the staff from cheating him.
Firstly, as the beautiful store manager said, since so many wealthy people are buying boats, that rumor is very likely true; otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many rich people believing in it.
Secondly, it was confirmed that this store had sold quite a few small aircraft recently; it is highly likely not a dishonest shop, so the chances of this transaction being successful are quite high.
Zachary, who had initially planned to browse more in the market, saw the sightseeing vehicle arriving to pick up passengers. Considering he had already bought the appropriate flying vehicle, he decided not to stay any longer. He got on the vehicle and headed to the area selling military hardware.
Looking at the dazzling array of firearms displayed in the window, Zachary’s facial expression changed for the worse.
Just by looking at the firearms displayed in the window, Zachary had already lost the interest to enter the stores. He then used his Spiritual Sense Scanning quickly to check the situation in the nearby shops, and the results were not much different from what he had speculated.
The firearms sold in these shops were mostly small-caliber weapons like pistols, with very few automatic or semi-automatic weapons.
No wonder the Imperial Court turns a blind eye to this area openly selling weapons. It’s not only due to the frequent natural disasters but also because the firearms sold here are not powerful enough to cause substantial harm to Martial Artists.
Compared to cold weapons whose lethality can increase with the wielder’s strength, anyone using a firearm, aside from a difference in accuracy, would see almost no variation in its killing power.
That’s why pistols, which now pose no fatal threat to the majority of Martial Artists, are permitted to be sold so openly.
Dong Tianyu scanned several shops with his Divine Sense and found, not to mention sniper rifles, there were no rifles either. Moreover, even the bullets commonly used in most rifles were hardly to be found in these stores.
After understanding the actual situation here, Dong Tianyu somewhat regretted getting off the bus early in this area. Since the shuttle bus wouldn’t arrive anytime soon, Dong Tianyu decided to wander around the area at his leisure.
Normally, if nothing particularly unusual was happening, Dong Tianyu would limit his Divine Sense to about a 10-meter radius, similar to how Superman would initially keep his super-hearing in check. If he kept his Divine Sense at its maximum range all the time, the barrage of chaotic information, although not causing him any substantial harm, would annoy him to no end.
Just like how Superman would later learn to control his super-hearing, Dong Tianyu expanded his Divine Sense to its maximum range only when necessary.
It was just then that a soul wave Dong Tianyu had on record briefly flickered into the range of his Divine Sense.
Compared to the variable outward appearance, Dong Tianyu had more faith in the constancy of souls. Therefore, he recorded the soul waves of certain individuals relevant to him and marked them in different categories within his Divine Sense.
Since Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense was in a contracted state at the time, the person who had just flashed through it should still be within the normal range of his Divine Sense.
Dong Tianyu was also a bit curious, finding it an unexpected surprise to encounter an ’acquaintance’ here.
Immediately, Dong Tianyu’s Divine Sense began to expand, and before long, he found the person. Although Dong Tianyu had no recollection of this person’s appearance, their soul wave matched the record in his Divine Sense—it was supposed to belong to Spirit Dog from the group of four swindlers.
After confirming the person’s identity, Dong Tianyu suddenly realized that his ’old acquaintance’ had also arrived in Kyoto.
He wasn’t sure if they had made too much of a ruckus in Pengcheng and could no longer stay there or if it was because Ye Liuyun had come to Kyoto, so they followed Ye Liuyun here.
Seeing Spirit Dog reminded Dong Tianyu of that woman who had once captured his heart. Yet, Butterfly had only given Dong Tianyu a momentary thrill at first sight; otherwise, when Ye Liuyun expressed interest in Butterfly, Dong Tianyu wouldn’t have remained indifferent.
After all, if Dong Tianyu had truly taken a liking to her, he could’ve whisked her away into the Cave without anyone noticing, making it impossible for anyone to find Butterfly.
But as it stood, even if Butterfly were presented to Dong Tianyu now, he would not spare her another glance, for he had no desire to become a man like Ye Liuyun, especially after Ye Liuyun’s ’revenge’ attempts.
Through the observation of his Divine Sense, Dong Tianyu saw Spirit Dog enter a gun store quite normally, greeted the staff, and then made his way into one of the shop’s private rooms.
Once Spirit Dog entered the private room, he immediately pulled out a detector from his pocket. Although Dong Tianyu did not know the exact function of this detector, from the careful way Spirit Dog scanned the shop with it, he could roughly guess its purpose.
After Spirit Dog meticulously scanned the private room with the device in his hand, the serious expression on his face noticeably relaxed. Sighing lightly, Spirit Dog walked over to a sofa, pressed a button on the side of it, and the seat of the sofa popped forward, separating from the backrest.
When the seat completely detached from the backrest, Spirit Dog bent over to twist a switch on the floor, and all of a sudden the formerly smooth floor split open, revealing a staircase leading underground.
The moment the staircase appeared, Spirit Dog seemed well-prepared and without hesitation, made his way down into the underground.
Once Spirit Dog entered the passage, the mechanism that had opened in the floor automatically closed, and the floor returned to its smooth state. Then, the chair that had moved forward retracted, with the seat and backrest of the sofa coming together again. If Dong Tianyu had not been observing the whole process with his Divine Sense, it would be hard to believe for most that a concealed underground passage lay within the room.
Just as Dong Tianyu was about to explore the destination of this underground passage with his Divine Sense, he suddenly found that his Divine Sense could not continue down the passage. It seemed that the passage below must be lined with materials designed to obstruct Spiritual Sense Scanning.
