Chapter 138: The Ones Targeting This Guy May Not Be Just Us

And as the Gang Leader of the Wild Wolf Gang, how much money does he have?

Jiang Cheng remembered that at the casino, the Wild Wolf Gang Deputy Gang Leader, when pleading for mercy, had said he had several hundred thousand cash locked in a safe at home.

If a Deputy Gang Leader has that much money, Yue Shan as the Gang Leader would have even more! Yet he hasn't been blinded by greed; he vaguely feels that this matter may not be as simple as it seems, or rather, not so easy to pull off.

"Brother Bing Li, do you think with my strength I can eliminate the other side?"

Jiang Cheng turned his head and asked.

This is the Outer City District, not the Poor District.

First, he's unfamiliar with the terrain, which is very fatal.

Second, the opponent may have a firearm in hand, and won't be as easy to deal with as those people in the Poor District.

Third, he just heard Bing Li say that the guy moved into a high‑end residential complex, which perhaps also has defensive forces? In short, it's better to heed Bing Li's advice.

"Hahaha."

Seeing Jiang Cheng react so quickly, Bing Li nodded approvingly, "Not bad, you're still relatively rational. With your current strength, attempting to complete this mission alone isn't impossible, but it's very difficult.

Yue Shan's guy lives in a high‑end residential complex, exclusive and private. Within the complex, armed guards patrol twenty‑four hours a day, every household has an alarm, and once an alarm sounds, the guards can arrive within a minute."

"How many are there? What about their firepower? Are there any Force Warriors among them?" Jiang Cheng asked again.

"A guard squad is about ten people; each guard is equipped with a Handgun, and a few have Rifles. If hit by rifle bullets, even a Level 4 Original Force Warrior would be injured, and a vital hit would be hard to survive."

Bing Li gave Jiang Cheng a deep look.

"The good news is, there are no Force Warriors; only the most top‑tier residential complexes can afford to hire Force Warriors as guards."

Jiang Cheng let out a slight sigh of relief.

However, even without Force Warriors, ten ordinary people wielding firearms are still hard for him to match.

"Besides the constantly patrolling guards, Yue Shan's guy also has two loyal subordinates nearby, each armed with a Handgun; if they are startled and fire, it will likewise alert the guards."

"By the way, here's another heads‑up for you."

Bing Li's expression became considerably serious.

"The ones targeting this guy may not be only us, the Dawn Society."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng was instantly startled.

Indeed, that's several hundred thousand! Shi Yan's father and grandfather, forced into ruin by a Bid Token and a family Secret Martial Arts, show how a profit of that size could not go unnoticed. "Don't worry too much."

Bing Li patted Jiang Cheng's shoulder, "For this mission, you can choose a partner; the hall has provided several candidates for you. You can look them over, and it's fine if you want to give up."

He said that while clicking two buttons on the screen, after which five options appeared.

Option One: partner with a First-level Force Warrior or a Spiritual Thought Master, loot split fifty‑fifty.

Option Two: partner with a Second Level Force Warrior, but the loot split is sixty‑four, the other side gets sixty percent.

Option Three: partner with a Third Level Force Warrior, loot split seventy‑thirty, the other side gets seventy percent.

Option Four: partner with a Fourth Level Force Warrior, loot split eighty‑twenty, the other side gets eighty percent.

Option Five: partner with a Fifth-level Force Warrior, loot split ninety‑ten, the other side gets ninety percent.

"Choose an option, and I'll contact the corresponding person to be your partner for this operation. Rest assured, the person I pick for you has reliable character, and their strength will be among the stronger of that rank."

Jiang Cheng stared at the five options before him, falling into contemplation. If the chosen partner is strong, his share of the loot is small; if the partner is weak, his share is larger.

If possible, it'd be best to swallow it all alone, but as a First-level Force Warrior, does he have that capability? "Honestly, this mission is somewhat special, a perk for you, but also dangerous. I suggest you pick a stronger partner, or simply abandon the mission; after a while, the hall will assign you a low‑risk one."

Bing Li said again.

Jiang Cheng hesitated briefly and said, "Brother Bing Li, then I'll choose the last option."

Bing Li wasn't surprised, confirming, "Are you sure you've decided? If you cooperate with a Fifth-level Force Warrior, no matter how much money you finally get, you'll only receive one‑tenth."

"Mm."

Jiang Cheng nodded, "I would like to take several hundred thousand for myself, but my strength is only this much; for me as a First-level Force Warrior, completing a mission that nets a few ten‑thousand yuan and can deal with Yue Shan's guy is already satisfying."

Of course there was another reason he didn't mention.

That is, those few people, if indeed as Bing Li described, are of good character, then his action would undoubtedly be a great favor to them.

At present, establishing a good relationship with a Fifth-level Force Warrior, especially a Spiritual Thought Master, is still beneficial.

"Hahaha, a wise choice."

Bing Li, seeing this, praised, "Then I'll ask on your behalf, first inquire among the Fifth-level ones for the strongest one. If she's unavailable, I'll find someone else; once found, the other side will contact you proactively. In the meantime, you may stay here or return, but my advice is that you might first familiarize yourself with firearms, practice Gunmanship, and prepare for the upcoming mission."

"Gunmanship?" Jiang Cheng was startled.

"Exactly. Although firearms have average effect for Senior Original Force Warriors, for lower‑level Force Warriors a good Gunmanship is still important. For this mission, it's best you also carry a gun for emergencies. Once you become a Senior Original Force Warrior, you can purchase weapon‑type Secret Martial Arts, unlock more Acupoints, and then firearms will be less needed."

Bing Li clicked on the screen, entering the weapon options.

Besides swords, a large number of Handguns, Rifles, and Sniper Rifles popped up.

"This Heavy Sniper Rifle costs 200,000; for Force Warriors below Seven-level, a headshot is certain death."

"This Heavy Machine Gun costs 120,000; even a Fifth-level Force Warrior, if hit repeatedly, will be torn apart."

"This Sniper Rifle costs 60,000; within two hundred meters, hitting a Level 4 Original Force Warrior results in death or injury."

"This Automatic Rifle costs 30,000; for Third-level and below Force Warriors, a single shot is fatal."

"This. 40 caliber Handgun costs 20,000; its power is similar to the Automatic Rifle, with strong recoil, but for us that recoil is no big deal."

Jiang Cheng was stunned.

Felt like he had entered an armory.

But thinking about it, that makes sense.

All enemies have guns; if he has none, wouldn't he have to rush them to have any chance to kill them?

Yet his speed is only ten meters per second; charging forward could be suicide.

So before his strength rises to a certain level, firearms can indeed play a huge role.

He also has a Panel that can unlock firearm skills, and through constant practice, become a Divine Gunman.

That 40‑caliber handgun is pretty good, its power is respectable, it's easy to carry, and it isn't expensive.

Carry it on you; even if you face a Second Level, Level 3 Original Force Warrior, even if you can't defeat them, you won't just stand there waiting to die.
