Chapter 92: Restricted Area 86

"Oh, Mr. Fang, you’re here!"

"Eh, isn’t that the Chief Constable? You haven’t been here in a while."

The old madam waved her handkerchief, greeting him with a laugh as she came up.

Ding Zhigang, with his hands clasped behind his back, smiled and said, "I’ve been busy with important matters and haven’t had the time to get away. Oh right, is Su Niang available tonight?"

The old madam chuckled, "Not at the moment, but there are so many people lined up to see Su Niang."

Ding Zhigang quickly turned to Fang Zhixing, whispering, "Bro, you haven’t filed for reimbursement from Steward Wen for this operation yet, have you?"

Fang Zhixing was initially stunned, then the corners of his mouth twitched as he said without words, "Not yet."

"Haha, that’s great!"

Ding Zhigang was overjoyed, clapping Fang Zhixing on the shoulder, "Bro, I’m a little short on cash lately, so I’m counting on you tonight."

Fang Zhixing gritted his teeth, "So Big Bro, you’re dragging me to the Hanxiang Building to mooch off me, you’re damn stingy."

Ding Zhigang grinned awkwardly, "I’m just learning from you, bro. In life, one must enjoy the ’Imperial Command to Indulge’ at least once."

Fang Zhixing smirked, "Fine, fine, fine, put all of Big Bro’s expenses tonight on my tab."

He turned to the old madam and flicked his finger, and a Gold Bean struck her in the face.

The old madam scrambled to catch it, and her face instantly blossomed into a grin, saying continually, "Gentlemen, please sit in the hall for a while and have some drinks. I’ll go and ask Su Niang."

As she spoke, she beckoned over, and two young, beautiful girls came twisting their waists, scurrying over.

"Girls, take good care of Instructor Fang and Chief Constable Ding."

The old madam shouted and then turned to go upstairs.

The two girls stepped forward and bowed.

"My name is Wu Cui."

"My name is Er Ying."

One girl had wheat-colored skin and the other had cute freckles on her face.

Fang Zhixing’s eye was caught by the freckled girl; she looked incredibly cute, her features were pleasing to look at, her voice endearing, and more importantly, she had long legs and a nice figure.

The freckled girl was Wu Cui. She read Fang Zhixing’s gaze and quickly came closer, enthusiastically linking her arm with his.

The other girl, Er Ying, upon seeing this, naturally took Ding Zhigang’s arm, pulling them both into the hall to find a seat. She then began pouring wine and serving them.

Fang Zhixing and Ding Zhigang leisurely enjoyed a few cups of wine, warming their stomachs.

"Sir, be gentle, you’re hurting me."

At this moment, a commotion arose, with a girl complaining.

Fang Zhixing frowned slightly and turned his head, then noticed that at a nearby table, there were three brawny men dressed in Beast Skin Clothes.

The three men were broad-shouldered, muscular, and clearly trained fighters.

They drank and ate without a care, brazenly manhandling the girls in their arms, their behavior extremely rude and overbearing.

One of the brawny men, missing a front tooth, was very boorish, enjoying pinching the girls’ bottoms with a heavy hand, causing one girl unbearable pain, tears welling in her eyes, looking utterly miserable.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing inquired, "Big Bro, who are these guys?"

Ding Zhigang glanced over, uttered an "oh," and with contempt on his face, explained, "They are Forbidden Zone Hunters, the desperados who specialize in hunting Mutant Beasts in the dangerous Restricted Areas, a bunch of daredevils."

"Forbidden Zone Hunters!"

Fang Zhixing’s eyebrows rose, and he couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, "Big Bro, have you ever been to the Restricted Area?"

"Of course I have!"

After a few drinks, Ding Zhigang’s words became especially abundant, flowing endlessly, "Every spring, the big boss goes hunting in the Restricted Area for fun, and I definitely accompany him."

Fang Zhixing nodded, pondering, "I’ve never been to the Restricted Area, what’s it like there?"

Ding Zhigang clicked his tongue and expressed his feelings, "The word ’Restricted Area’ is well deserved. It’s a completely different world from the outside. Have you ever seen a snake with three heads?"

Fang Zhixing shook his head.

Ding Zhigang finished his drink in one gulp, wiping his mouth and continued, "In the Restricted Area, creatures like three-headed snakes are commonplace, most of them with a fierce nature, ready to devour people."

Fang Zhixing took a deep breath, thought for a moment, then asked, "The Mutant Beasts in the Restricted Area, don’t they come out and harm people?"

"They do, but very rarely!"

Ding Zhigang explained, "Mutant Beasts usually have a strong sense of territory and only stick to a certain area. They only move if there’s no food left in their area."

Fang Zhixing nodded in understanding, reached into his chest and pulled out a map, spreading it on the table.

Seeing this, Ding Zhigang was surprised and asked, "What, bro, are you thinking of going to the Restricted Area for an adventure?"

Fang Zhixing nodded, "Yeah, I’m in need of Meat Pills, have to figure out a way to earn some more."

Ding Zhigang thought it made sense; unlike him, Fang Zhixing was no longer improving in his Cultivation, and even he himself was discouraged, having almost given up on Cultivation, losing his former vigor and ambition, just wanting to stay put, coasting through life day by day.

But Fang Zhixing was different; still young, he could certainly reach new heights if he were willing to put in the effort.

With these thoughts, Ding Zhigang’s feelings became complex, his mind drifting as he reminisced about the past.

A middle-aged man in decay watching the younger generation full of vitality, his heart couldn’t help but be stirred.

Suddenly, Fang Zhixing looked up, pointing to the map, and asked:

"Big Bro, Qinglin County has a total of five Restricted Areas.

Next to these five Restricted Areas on the map are marked with ’1’, ’2’, ’1’, ’1’, ’3’. What do these numbers represent?"

Ding Zhigang chuckled, "They represent the danger levels, indicating the highest level of Mutant Beast present in that Restricted Area."
