Chapter 1014: Chapter 1034: What, You Look Down on Me Because of My Low Strength?_1

"I don’t know if the Black Profound Stone Essence Bead can help me break through, but since I know there’s such a method, I have to give it a try."

Lin Chen’s eyes shone as he said: "Xingyuan City can produce three hundred to five hundred beads per year, and it’s not the only city with Yuxi Mines, so there’s still hope."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "How do you plan to obtain it?"

Lin Chen replied, "Steal."

"Steal? Steal from the surrounding cities?"

Nalan Wushuang paused for a moment, then reacted quickly. Considering Lin Chen’s character, how could he possibly rob a city?

If not robbing a city, then who is he going to rob?

Nalan Wushuang’s eyes suddenly widened, "You want to rob the Diamond Bandit King?"

Lin Chen smiled, "I figured he wouldn’t just extort Xingyuan City; he must have a lot of Black Profound Stones in his hands. To turn Black Profound Stones into Black Profound Stone Essence Beads, they need to be refined. I don’t think he would refine them himself, so there should be some space for us to make a move. I’m going to give it a try."

"Of course, if he’s willing to sell them for spirit stones, I can buy from him openly. I’ve made a small fortune recently, so I don’t lack spirit stones."

Lin Chen had Situ Xiu help him sell the useless items from the Three Ghosts Gate treasury, earning him billions of spirit stones.

Nalan Wushuang couldn’t help but smile, "You’re really bold, thinking about robbing the Bandit King!"

Lin Chen grinned, "There’s no harm in trying. If I can’t beat him, I’ll just run."

Nalan Wushuang asked, "What’s the plan?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "Ten days later, they’ll come again. I need to find a way to follow them silently and act accordingly. I don’t intend to rob outright."

Nalan Wushuang laughed, "That’s simple."

Lin Chen’s eyes brightened, "Simple?"

Nalan Wushuang nodded, "When the time comes, I’ll put a little Fox Fragrance on him, and we can track him by scent. The fragrance is faint and hard for people to smell; it lasts a long time without fading. Even if he does smell it, he probably won’t care."

Lin Chen blinked, "So you’re going to join me in this action?"

Nalan Wushuang widened her eyes, "What? Do you think my strength is too weak?"

Lin Chen laughed, "Of course not. You’re an Innate Dao Body, at the Nascent Soul Stage; you’re much stronger than me."

Nalan Wushuang snorted, "Don’t flatter me. If it comes to a fight, I might not be able to beat you!"

Lin Chen smiled, "Alright, it would be my honor to have the Demon Saintess join me in robbery."

Nalan Wushuang rolled her eyes at Lin Chen, "You, the Human Emperor, don’t mind, so what’s the big deal about me, a mere Demon Saintess?"

Lin Chen had no argument and shook his head after a while, "Although I have the approval of the Emperor’s Seal, with my current strength, no one would listen to me if I said I was the Human Emperor. My reputation does not match my abilities."

Nalan Wushuang smiled, "Just take it slow. At most, you can pretend this never happened, and nothing will be amiss, right?"

Lin Chen laughed, "That’s what I think, too. Alright, I’m going to refine pills now. You get ready to prepare the Fox Fragrance."

"Alright!"

Time flew, and ten days passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhao Defa had already collected all the items on the list and put them in a Spatial Ring.

At noon, He Qianshan swaggered in from outside the city and landed directly in the City Lord’s Mansion.

"Ten days have passed; is the security fee ready?"

Lin Chen smiled, "Everything is prepared, but I have a question..."

He Qianshan sat down casually in a chair and said, "Speak."

Lin Chen said, "I’m not familiar with this area and have never seen King Kong, so how can I be sure that you are really here on his orders? What if... "

He Qianshan laughed loudly, "Are you afraid I’m an imposter scamming you?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "We’ve emptied the entire city to gather the items on the list. If they were truly given to King Kong and they ensured our safety, it would be worth it. But if you took them away, and then the real King Kong came with another list, what would we do then... "

He Qianshan smiled, "If you have the guts, feel free to follow me. I’ll take you to see the Boss, but I can’t guarantee your safety."

Lin Chen blinked and cheerfully said, "Alright! These items are the fruits of the townspeople’s labor, and I need to make sure they truly serve their purpose. I’ll go with you."

He Qianshan hesitated for a moment, then smiled, "Kid, you’re quite gutsy. No wonder you dare to be the City Lord at such a young age."

Lin Chen laughed, "I heard that several years ago, King Kong also came to Xingyuan City to collect safeguard fees. He kept his word, didn’t enter the city, and left after collecting the fees. So, I think this trip won’t be too dangerous."

He Qianshan stood up, "Alright, since you want to meet, I’ll take you to meet him. Bring the stuff with you and come with me."

"Are you really going? What if they don’t keep their word?"

A concerned and anxious voice suddenly came from the door, and Nalan Wushuang appeared at the entrance, walking past He Qianshan with a gust of fragrant wind and stopping in front of Lin Chen.

Lin Chen nodded, "There’s no danger. You just wait for me at home."

Nalan Wushuang gave Lin Chen an "OK" gesture with her back facing He Qianshan.

"Well, you must be careful. Be polite when talking to King Kong, confirm his identity, and hurry back. Don’t get on his bad side... "
