Chapter 1739: Separated

If social death also had ranks, then at this moment, the Li family would have two 9th-rank demigods appear in one breath.

The Dusk Society members laughed wildly in the nothingness until they were almost exhausted.

Chen Ling looked at the combination of "Wealth" and "Compelling" on the faces of these siblings, his expression incomparably subtle...

Sure enough, Heart 9's lunacy had already shown initial signs as early as his youth.

And at this time, the Li siblings wished they could find a crack in the ground to dive into on the spot. Li Wanhua covered the word "Wealth" on her face, screaming and turning around to hide her body behind the shelf, her entire face flushed red with shame.

As for Li Shangfeng, he was thick-skinned. Bearing the two large words "Compelling" on his face, he opened his mouth calmly:

"Boss, why are you back again?"

Li Shangfeng was calm on the surface, but inside he was actually panicking to death. He was deeply afraid that Chen Ling had changed his mind and wanted to ask back for the three Gold Bars in his hand...

Chen Ling's gaze fell on the Li Shangfeng and Li Wanhua siblings, pausing for a moment:

"...What?"

"I thought about it, investment is a major matter, still can't be too hasty... Therefore, I plan to stay here temporarily for a few days to observe your performance." Chen Ling continued, "Of course, the three Gold Bars already given to you will not be taken back. If I feel this Repair Shop has a lot of potential in these two days, I will consider adding more investment..."

"Yes! Yes yes yes!!" The large stone in Li Shangfeng's heart finally fell to the ground, nodding like a chick pecking at rice,

"Boss, I can tidy up my room and give it to you. I just happen to have to rush work these two days, I'll just sleep directly in the factory building!"

Li Shangfeng originally felt that Chen Ling throwing money away was a bit too straightforward, giving people an unreal feeling. But now that Chen Ling came back saying he wanted to inspect for a few days, it was much more reasonable.

Anyway, he also said that the three Gold Bars already given wouldn't be taken back, and he might even give more... Then what was he afraid of?

Taking advantage of these two days, he would properly "perform" a bit. Soaring to success was just around the corner ah!

The siblings Li Shangfeng and Li Wanhua immediately washed off the things on their faces, and together tidied up the room for Chen Ling.

Chen Ling strolled outside the factory building. Looking at the many Dusk Society phantoms surrounding him, he solemnly opened his mouth:

"Members of the 7, 8, and 9 series are responsible for monitoring the streets. Once any suspicious personnel approach, report to me immediately through electronic devices."

"10, J, Q disperse to various places in the Chengtian Domain, investigating intelligence related to the Taishi Division."

"The Chengtian Domain is Ying Fu's base camp, with many powerhouses. There are inevitably quite a few Divine Paths existing that can strike at souls... Be careful in everything, safety first."

The numerous Dusk Society phantoms simultaneously nodded:

"Understood!"

...

Late night.

Heavy clouds were like lead clothes, slowly drifting above the Chengtian Domain.

The starlight and the bright moon were shielded by the clouds, making the night as pitch-black as ink. Li Shangfeng carried bedding and walked into the empty factory building. He turned on the old incandescent lamp hanging down entwined with wires in the center, the dim light illuminating a corner of the factory building.

In the timeline at this time, electricity hadn't disappeared due to the regression of civilization. Although the cost of using electricity was quite high, there was no shortage of families in the city using it. Li Shangfeng often needed to carry out repairs and modifications late at night. Although his heart ached, he had no choice but to pay for stable and continuous lighting.

His younger sister Li Wanhua had already gone to sleep, and that Boss Chen had also been arranged properly. Li Shangfeng finally had time to deal with the unfinished work on hand.

Just as he arrived in front of the unfinished Domain Train part and was preparing to start work, the incandescent lamp above his head suddenly flickered.

"...Mm?"

Li Shangfeng glanced at the light bulb with some confusion, but the latter's light had already recovered stability, as if the flickering just now was only an illusion.

Li Shangfeng didn't take it to heart. Unstable electricity wasn't a rare occurrence either. He concentrated on starting to repair the part in his hand.

He didn't notice that in the reflection of the factory building's glass, a ghost-like youthful figure was leaning against the wall, his gaze complexly looking at the busy Li Shangfeng...

Club 8 faintly sighed.

The 7, 8, and 9 series were scattered everywhere in the block, constantly monitoring the surroundings. And he was arranged to be here, responsible for ensuring Li Shangfeng's safety... Club 8 himself didn't know either, just relying on his current state where he couldn't even touch anyone, how else could he ensure safety?

In short, he could only carry out some surveillance first. If any accidents happened, contacting the Red King at the first moment would be fine.

Ding dang—— Ding dang——

A rhythmic metallic knocking sound echoed in the factory building.

Li Shangfeng looked attentively at the part in his hand, as if he had already entered a state of selflessness. Club 8 quietly watched this scene, his gaze somewhat complex...

A close friend who was once left forever in the previous world reappeared before his eyes in this way. Club 8's heart had mixed feelings. He knew his resurrection was slim. Without any accidents, he might forever have to exist in this way. Between him and this old friend, they would probably forever be separated by a barrier of reality.

"I hope the you in this life, and the me in this life... can still have the opportunity to become friends."

Currently, the person who most wanted Li Shangfeng to join the Dusk Society was Club 8; the one who hoped he wouldn't join the Dusk Society and live a peaceful life was also Club 8.

This was an extremely complex emotion. Club 8 also didn't know what he was thinking, his heart was very messy. After being silent for a long time, he silently took out a drawing board from his body. Facing Li Shangfeng who was repairing attentively under the dim light, he began to sketch stroke by stroke.

And Li Shangfeng was completely unaware of Club 8's existence. As the repair gradually entered a critical period, his attention also became increasingly concentrated...

Li Shangfeng raised his head, looking around sneakily. After confirming there was no one around, he grabbed his left hand...

And then, forcefully tore it off!

...

"Mm?"

In the bedroom, Chen Ling, who was resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes.

He turned his head to look in the direction of the factory building. There, an obscure and faint aura of the Path of the Artisan flashed past...

"At this point in time, he unexpectedly already stepped onto a Divine Path?" Chen Ling murmured to himself in some surprise. "No wonder at such a young age, his attainments in repair are so high... As expected, none of the Dusk Society members are simple."

Chen Ling originally thought that Li Shangfeng only stepped onto the Path of the Artisan after losing his younger sister. But looking at it now, he had already become a [Stitcher] long before then. It could only be said that people with talent would still bloom with radiance no matter which world they were in.

Just as Chen Ling planned to continue resting with his eyes closed, a burst of slight rustling sound transmitted from the radio at the side.

Chen Ling's gaze focused, looking at the radio.

"Red King, My Lord."

A muffled sound like a zombie rang out from within, precisely Spade 8 of the Dusk Society. "There is a suspicious black-clothed figure approaching the direction of the Repair Shop."

Chen Ling's eyes narrowed slightly.
