Chapter 279: Chapter 277: The Great Swindler Jidro

Wen Wen sighed, expecting an item of merely Disaster Level to know everything was rather unrealistic. He sighed again and said, "Then tell me, what can you do?"

The mirror shifted slightly forward, and Jidro, much like an actor in a television shopping advertisement, began to enthusiastically promote his abilities.

"Great master, as long as you command me, I can let you see anything you wish to see—the most heavily guarded vaults, unknown secret realms; as long as you wish it, you shall see it."

Wen Wen’s eyes gradually lit up. If its capabilities were truly as strong as it claimed, then it would indeed be very useful.

So, Wen Wen spoke, "Let me try first... what is Gu Panxi doing?"

Suddenly, a white fog appeared on the mirror, and Wen Wen felt as though he had been transported to a misty place.

"Hmm, does it make me appear on the scene myself? This is truly a fine item."

The sound of rushing water led Wen Wen into flights of fancy, and then he felt his vision suddenly obstructed, as if something had seized his eyes.

Next, he saw an angry face and heard furious shouting.

"Dare to spy on me while I’m bathing? No matter who you are, if I catch you, I will slaughter you."

Then, Wen Wen heard the sound of an egg cracking, and his vision disappeared completely.

After his vision vanished, Wen Wen’s eyes began to suffer intense, unprovoked pain, and tears streamed down relentlessly. Once the pain subsided, Wen Wen found his eyes bloodshot.

"Jidro, what happened here?" Wen Wen, holding a brick and amicably questioning the sunglass-wearing Jidro, determined that this guy’s reliability was as suspect as TV shopping products.

"Master, you were discovered spying," whispered the Magic Mirror.

"Ha ha..." Crimson qi began to emerge from around Wen Wen’s body as he stared at Jidro with bloodshot eyes and said, "Didn’t you say that as long as I wished, I could see anything I wanted?"

He felt that Jidro was a big swindler. Aside from some mist and an angry face, he hadn’t seen anything else.

His eyes had been injured; at the very least, he should have seen something substantial to make it worth the pain.

Jidro trembled within the mirror and said, "Master, I can only let you see what you wish to see, but I never said you wouldn’t be discovered while watching..."

After a brief discussion, Wen Wen discovered that Jidro’s ability was to create a Magic Eye at the location Wen Wen wished to observe, linking this eye to Wen Wen’s own eyes.

And the process of forming this Magic Eye was... quite blatant!

"No wonder you’re just a Disaster Level Containment Item. This overt method of surveillance probably can only be used to watch places without guards..."

If it were really like the Magic Mirror in fairy tales, aware of everything, it would at least be a Disaster Level item.

Knowing its limit, Wen Wen no longer held high expectations for it but rather asked it, "Cough cough, I have a subordinate trapped deep in the Gray Mist Layer. How can I get him back to the real world?"

Jidro perked up again; Wen Wen had a use for it, and that alone gave it worth.

"Respected master, everything in the real world forms a shadow in the Gray Mist Layer, but the Gray Mist Layer is a space much broader than the real world, so the shadow’s location doesn’t correspond exactly to that in the real world."

"If you want him to return safely to the real world, first you must find his location, determine the coordinates in the real world, and then send a superpower user to construct a passage."

What it said, Wen Wen already knew, but the problem was that he couldn’t find the corresponding coordinates.

"Hehehe, this is easy, just leave it to me," Jidro said with a sly smile.

...

Since joining the Sanctuary, Feng Ruixing’s life had gradually become more fulfilling.

The life of glitz and glamour he used to live had been completely abandoned, and now managing the SRS Foundation and training his superpower were his main occupations.

For a solitary superpower user like him, having a backing meant completely different life circumstances.

Although he had strong superpower, he used to be timid and dare not overstep, but now he was the financial manager of a large superpower organization, naturally, he had much more confidence.

Well... a large superpower organization was his own fancy.

During this period, his business had developed explosively, and the SRS Foundation he had just handled was also operating more smoothly.

The initial capital Wen Wen gave him was, at most, several million yuan, but now it had already become a company with a market value close to ten million.

The increase might not seem large, but for such a short time, it was quite considerable.

Moreover, the main projects managed by the Foundation were not very profitable industries; everything was aimed at fulfilling the needs of the Sanctuary, and now, apart from living beings, the Foundation could supply whatever materials the Sanctuary needed.

Recently, Feng Ruixing was even preparing to establish a security company to develop the Foundation’s own forces.

In short, Feng Ruixing was now in a state of fulfilled ambition, and managing the Foundation had ignited his long-lost passion.

Suddenly, his Custodian Badge vibrated, and he picked it up to receive a message.

So he hurriedly found a secluded place and entered the Sanctuary.

After absorbing a part of the Sanctuary’s remnants from Wen Li, the Sanctuary had acquired this feature, whereby anyone with authorization could send messages to specific custodians through the Central Administrator.

Upon entering, he saw Heng An fighting with a man in a metal suit; the two traded blows in a well-coordinated manner, which looked a bit better than an ordinary brawl.

Seeing the badge on Heng An’s chest, Feng Ruixing realized that Heng An was also a custodian.

"I thought I was the weakest custodian, but it turns out there’s someone even weaker than me. I just need to spend some money to have the combat power of Master Ye level..." Of course, he just thought about it and didn’t say it out loud.

After finishing the training, Heng An walked over to Feng Ruixing, his bright eyes staring at him for a while.

"Are you the Feng Custodian the boss wants to see? He’s waiting for you at Disaster-100."

Disaster-100 was a rest room arranged by Wen Wen using a prison cell, which had a TV, computer, office desk, and his favorite rocking chair was also placed there.

And ’the boss’ was what Heng An called Wen Wen, as Wen Wen had never specified how he should be addressed, so Heng An used this term.

As Feng Ruixing was about to leave, Heng An said, "By the way, Mr. Feng, could you spar with me some time? I’ve never fought against a superpower user."

"Sure, sparring can help us both improve," Feng Ruixing agreed with a smile.

After Feng Ruixing had left, Heng An turned to the man in the metal suit and asked, "Can I beat him?"

The man in the metal suit laughed and said, "You should be able to; at the same realm, most superpower users are no match for you..."
