Chapter 111: No, bro, how did you become the top hand of Fraud City?

~10 min read 1,864 words

"Damn, it really is Big Boss, what's he doing over there!"

Another candidate exclaimed in amazement.

Li Chengzheng stood at the entrance of City Hall, a warm, sunny signature smile on his lips, as if waiting for something.

"He... wouldn't have already taken a post at City Hall, would he?"

One candidate said.

"Probably not." Anli shook his head: "If he'd already taken a post at City Hall, how could he be standing outside? He couldn't have applied to be a security guard, could he? That'd be fifty years of wasted effort?"

"Indeed." Nalan Yu agreed: "Hmm... then what is he doing..."

"I guess he should be here to apply." Anli thought for a moment, speaking calmly: "He arrived at the city center yesterday, found a place to sleep, and came for an interview today. Hmm, the timing checks out."

"Put that way, indeed."

"Right, Li Liu Li is right."

"So what do we do now?" Nalan Yu asked: "Should we go find him?"

"Let me think... go, let's go find him." Anli pondered for a moment, speaking like someone who'd been there: "I've figured it out—this city has problems, everyone inside is a liar! This City Hall probably isn't any better."

"We should remind Li Cheng, so he doesn't get tricked, hmm, what do you think?"

"Right." Nalan Yu nodded: "And we can cooperate, find a way to pass City Hall's interview. As long as one of us gets into City Hall, things will be easier afterward."

"Hmm, right, let's do that."

After a quick discussion, they didn't hesitate and walked toward City Hall's main gate.

"Wait!" Unexpectedly, the guard on duty walked out, slouching as he pulled up his pants, drew an electric baton, and sneered: "This is City Hall, no idlers allowed!"

Speaking, the guard covered his nose: "What a stench, where did this beggar come from? Do you live in the sewer?"

The candidates:...

"Adult." Anli endured the humiliation of being insulted: "We're here to apply."

"Apply?" The guard waved his electric baton: "This year's recruitment is over, go back where you came from."

"Over?"

"Impossible!" Another candidate pointed at Li Cheng, dissatisfied: "If it's over, what's he doing there!"

"Him?" The guard followed the candidate's finger, his eyes trembling, and quickly pressed the hand down: "What are you pointing at? That Adult is someone you can point at? Don't want your life?"

"Ah? Adult?" The candidate looked at Li Cheng, confused.

Just then, City Hall's doors opened.

A secretary with her hair coiled, wearing a black tight-fitting qipao with pantyhose, walked out of City Hall one by one, graceful and charming.

The candidates' eyes went straight, confirming after eye contact that she was a woman they couldn't have.

The two secretaries in front carried stools to Li Cheng's side and asked him to sit.

The remaining few, half massaged him, half fed him fruit, and two fanned him while holding up a sun umbrella.

At this moment.

Anli's eyes widened, his lips trembled slightly, his nose twitched back and forth, and he couldn't speak.

The other candidates were no different.

Especially Nalan Yu, she stared dumbfounded at this scene, remembering how she had looked down on Li Cheng before, only feeling her face burning.

No.

Were they dreaming?

This Li Cheng's style, how was it completely different from ours!

They looked at their own tattered clothes, smelled the stench on themselves as if they'd been searched, then looked at Li Cheng accompanied by beauties, living in luxury, and their faces fell.

No, are you sure you're here to take an exam, not on vacation?

You doing this makes us look like clowns...

After a moment of silence.

Anli turned his head first and walked toward outside City Hall.

The other candidates, after looking enviously a few times, followed his pace.

They didn't plan to stay at City Hall anymore.

No way, in front of Li Cheng, their pride had been trampled to pieces.

Feeling inferior, brother.

If they stayed here any longer, their Arrive Hearts would probably shatter.

This City Hall, not staying is fine! "Hey, you guys came too!"

Just then, a familiar voice suddenly came from the City Hall entrance.

Li Cheng stood up from the leather chair, smiling gently while waving at them.

Anli's raised step instantly petrified, he forced himself to turn his head, giving an awkward laugh: "Yes, I, we came too."

"Why are you still standing there, hurry up and come on!" Li Cheng laughed and waved his hand.

"Hah, haha, okay..." Anli continued to laugh awkwardly.

But the guard beside him panicked, his pupils trembled, he grabbed his belt with both hands, stood at attention, immediately followed with a 90-degree bow: "Adult, sorry, I didn't know you were Mister Buxi's friends, I offended you, please forgive me, Adult."

While speaking, sweat beads on his forehead fell like a waterfall, wishing he could slap himself right now.

He also cursed inwardly: 'Why are you so blind, didn't you see what happened to your colleague? How dare you offend Mister Buxi's friends?'

Seeing this scene, Anli felt even worse in his heart.

This guard's attitude of being arrogant in front and respectful behind wasn't because of them, but because of Li Cheng.

If Li Cheng weren't there, they would definitely have been driven away by the guard today.

Both geniuses, both candidates, why is the gap between people so big! Anli was still hesitating, but the other candidates had already rushed toward Li Cheng, all with auspicious words on their lips: "Li Liu Li, doing great~" "Right, Li Liu Li, so amazing~"

"Aiyah, we should've followed Big Boss Li Cheng sooner~"

Anli looked at their fawning appearance and instantly felt anger rise from nowhere, her teeth grinding with a grating sound: "With such a posture, can they still count as Full Moon Academy candidates? Can they still count as Tianming Continent geniuses?"

"Disgraceful! Disgraceful!"

"Nalan Qing, let's go, this place won't keep us, there's a place elsewhere that will!"

Speaking, he tugged at Nalan Yu's sleeve, wanting to bring her away.

Unexpectedly, the person before him didn't budge an inch.

"Nalan Qing?"

"Cough cough, Lady Anli." Nalan Yu tucked some hair behind her ear somewhat embarrassedly: "Don't you think, us going to City Hall to take up our posts now, is the most correct choice?"

"What?" Anli widened her eyes, looking at her in disbelief: "Nalan Qing, how could even you..."

"Lady Anli, you..." Nalan Yu's gaze evaded, she glanced at her own sleeve: "Men and women should not touch when passing things."

"Ah!" Only then did Anli react, realizing she had just been humiliated and hadn't paid attention to the meaning, hurriedly letting go: "Sorry."

"It's fine, just be more careful afterwards, don't touch me." Nalan Yu stepped back, creating a bit of distance: "That, I'm afraid Li Chengqing might misunderstand."

After speaking, she ran toward Li Cheng without looking back.

Anli stared blankly as Her Holiness the Saintess ran far away, only feeling a bolt from the blue strike the back of her head.

No, that look of yours stepping back half a step, was that really serious? Nalan Yu, when did you start turning into this fawning, power-clinging appearance too? I almost can't recognize you anymore!

I, Anli, really misjudged you! He closed his eyes.

"Lady Anli, aren't you coming too?" Li Cheng waved his hand again: "I happen to still have a position for you, come help me."

"Heh." Anli let out a cold snort.

Li Cheng ah Li Cheng, do you think I, Anli, am like that bunch of fools, greedy for life and afraid of death, sycophantic rats!

You really misjudged me, Anli!

He bowed his head, clenching his fists tight.

Next second.

Anli abruptly lifted her head, the corners of her mouth cracking wide into a grin, walking up with a silly smile: "Adult Li Cheng, Xiao An has arrived!"

Whimper whimper.

I don't want to be like this either.

But the people in this City of Deception are all rotten to the core, if I don't follow Adult Li Cheng, who knows if there'll still be a chance to get a Position Card!

If I keep wandering in the City of Deception, who knows if I'll be schemed to death by fellow villagers!

He doesn't want to die, he still has a wonderful life ahead! Whimper whimper whimper.

Adult Li Cheng, your judgment of people is really accurate~ Anli and the others surrounded Li Cheng, and the City Hall doors just happened to open.

Mu wearing underwear on his head walked out, Pilt and the other Department Heads following behind him.

These Department Heads, though they didn't do anything, all smiled peacefully, but the powerful auras swirling around them still made Anli and the others' hearts tremble.

They looked at each other, both seeing wariness in the other's eyes.

These Abyss Demon Race, the lowest are all Seventh Stage.

All of them big shots who could crush them with a casual pinch.

'The difficulty on this City Hall side has actually reached this extent? Then how did Li Cheng get the Position Card?' Nalan Yu curiously glanced at the boy beside her.

She was pondering, but saw Pilt leading a large troop walking over slowly.

Nalan Yu instinctively felt fear, her toes unconsciously curling up.

The other candidates weren't much different from her, even their breathing sounds grew smaller and smaller.

Finally, Pilt walked to Li Cheng's front, and immediately after, these monsters who call wind and rain outside, who could decide countless fates with a casual stomp, just like that, without a second thought, dropped to one knee.

"Adult, we pay our respects to you."

"Mhm, all rise, no need for such complex etiquette." Li Cheng waved his hand, looking even more like a leader than the leaders.

"Yes, Adult." Pilt rose, respectfully placing his fist against his left chest: "Where your gaze reaches, is where our blades point."

This scene left Nalan Yu and the others dumbstruck.

Anli even kept rubbing her eyes, pinching her own face.

If it didn't hurt so much she could barely stand it, she'd really suspect she was dreaming.

No way brothers, how did you pull this off? Why are these Demon Kings all acting like your slaves?

Are you the Abyss's illegitimate child? Compared to what you're doing now, everything I did in the Sewer before is meaningless.

At this moment, Anli comprehended!

He clenched his fists, staring at Li Cheng, murmuring: "I understand, I understand what to do next!"

Nalan Yu stared at Li Cheng's profile, her breathing unconsciously becoming rapid.

You know, this Secret Realm is Previous Era history.

However you think about it, Li Cheng absolutely cannot have any connection with people of this Era, let alone these City Hall big shots.

But now, the facts are irrefutably laid before her.

Tracing back from this result, Nalan Yu can only derive one answer — Li Cheng subdued these big shots before him in just a single day.

This is the only answer.

Then, another doubt arises.

How did he do it? This youth called Li Cheng, just what Divine Being is he? (Chapter Complete)
