Chapter 114: [Card] Battle for Supremacy, the World of The Seven Opens (4k Third Update, Ten Thousand Words Requesting Subscriptions)
"How much of the medicinal herbs I wanted have you found?"
Bai Cangshu leaned against the window, his gaze casually sweeping over the scene outside. That Moye was indeed quite cautious; two days had already passed, yet there was still no movement at all.
Hearing Bai Cangshu's words, Lin Qinfu kept his head lowered, mentally cursing the ancestors of the incompetent underling who had botched the job eighteen generations back, but he could only steel himself and say,
"There don't seem to be many traditional medicinal herbs locally. I am currently contacting some Dongxia chambers of commerce, and there is already some progress."
Bai Cangshu turned his head back, looked at this man who was full of schemes but lacked courage, and smiled.
"Give me a timeline. You know, I am a person who values efficiency. This can be considered your KPI assessment; if you can't finish it, there will be punishments, you know."
You sit here all day long, and you have the nerve to talk about valuing efficiency!
Lin Qinfu cursed angrily in his heart, but knowing that the punishment the other party spoke of would likely be terrifying—his right wrist already showed signs of inflammation—he could only steel himself and say,
"Three days. Within three days, there will definitely be a result!"
He felt that Moye certainly could not tolerate such a guy seizing his subordinates' territory. In another three days, the news of Moye's industrial park being seized would likely spread through various channels.
After all, with nearly a hundred people dismissed here, it was impossible to keep the news secret forever.
Moye could not tolerate such a thing.
Bai Cangshu nodded, knowing in his heart that the time for Moye to appear was likely around this juncture.
Even if Moye did not appear, he could still give Lin Qinfu another chance, letting him continue to call for help.
Although a gang boss might not care about the lives of his underlings, such matters could not be blown out of proportion. If it became common knowledge, the gang boss's Reputation would be dragged through the mud.
"You go down first. Get someone to wash that hand; it's starting to smell like rot."
Lin Qinfu clutched his hand and left.
Only then did Bai Cangshu leisurely take out the Recording Pointer that had been placed together with the Directional Anchor. At this moment, the needle had gradually stabilized.
His heart stirred, and sure enough, he saw the familiar prompt appear.
【Attention, Number ex051, you will initiate a new round of spatial delivery in 1 hour. Please confirm the safety of your surrounding environment in advance.】
Bai Cangshu sat quietly in the office just like that. When only ten minutes remained, he entered his Private Space to wait. After becoming a one-star Reincarnator, the additional time for the Public Space could be accumulated.
This was a benefit for Bai Cangshu.
He began to consciously accumulate the time he did not need to enter the Public Space.
Because he had a premonition that in the future, he might have quite a lot of items that needed to be traded, and there would always be Reincarnators sending them over continuously...
【Delivery is about to begin】
【3...】
【2...】
【1...】
【Delivery anomaly...】
【Delivery target re-anchored, delivery starting】
The Directional Anchor in Bai Cangshu's hand shattered along with the Recording Pointer. That pale blue radiance lit up along with a stream of information, enveloping Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu's figure vanished instantly.
At the same time, in Korea in the real world, a tall woman holding a terrifying long blade pinned a man to the ground.
"You have 3 seconds left to hand over all your items and resources to beg me to let you live."
The man pinned to the top of the building was covered in blood. Under the washing of the rain, the rooftop was already a sheet of red, but even with this level of blood loss, he had not yet died.
The man looked at the woman's face, spat out the bloody foam in his mouth, and mocked,
"I've already seen your face; how could you possibly let me go?"
"Don't treat everyone like a fool, you stupid..."
Pfft!
A jade-green sword light flashed and vanished. The man's body shattered in an instant, flesh and blood flying everywhere.
A scarlet card appeared in front of the woman. She reached out to grasp it, but suddenly her brows furrowed.
A flash of light appeared in her hand; the Black Blade vanished, and a Recording Pointer appeared in her palm. At this moment, the needle of the Recording Pointer began to spin at high speed once again.
This phenomenon indicated that the owner of the recorded information had entered a mission world again, but it clearly hadn't reached the delivery cycle yet...
She was finally convinced at this moment that that Tao Baibai possessed an abnormal amount of Strong Luck, making it impossible for her to track him.
——
Beep!
Beep!
The sharp sound of a car horn brought all sensation back into Bai Cangshu's body. He blinked, and his vision recovered accordingly.
A yellow taxi stopped in front of Bai Cangshu. The driver was a Black man, irritably honking the horn, his mouth opening and closing continuously; he was clearly spewing profanities.
Bai Cangshu ignored him, turned, and looked up to see a prosperous cityscape of high-rise buildings.
The people coming and going all around—men, women, young, and old—were either Black or White. Whether it was the race of the people or the atmosphere of this city, it was completely different from the types of worlds he had experienced before.
On a high-rise building in the distance, a screen of over a hundred square meters was playing an advertisement for something called The Seven. The leader, wearing the Meilijian Stars and Stripes, had a "kind" smile.
Tsk, it's actually a film and television-type world.
Bai Cangshu shook his head and was about to leave, but the furious Black man behind him had already slammed his door and walked over.
"Are you trying to die?"
"If you really want to die, I don't mind spending a bullet to send you to see your mama. You know, for an Asian like you, in this country, nobody cares if you live or die."
Bai Cangshu turned his head and saw a Black man shouting various anti-Asian slurs at him.
These Black people were just like this; they hated being discriminated against, but at the same time, once given the chance, they were also very happy to discriminate against other groups.
Bai Cangshu's lips curled up, and he reached out to press his hand against the Black man's chest.
The Black man was stunned and also reached out his hand to shove Bai Cangshu.
Bang!
Bai Cangshu gave a light push, and the black man flew straight out, crashing into the windshield of his own taxi.
The people around let out gasps of surprise.

……
A large amount of information scrolled by. Bai Cangshu had already turned and left the street. He passed a mailbox, and a card happened to fly out of it and into his hand. He was already accustomed to this kind of arrangement by the space, and with the help of this card, which was about the size of a greeting card, he indeed saw the mission information on the back.
【Main Mission initiated】
【Main Mission 1: Within three days, join any faction and raise your Reputation to Friendly or higher】
【Main Mission 2: Unlocks after Main Mission 1 is completed】
【Warning, mission anomaly occurred; your Reputation with the Vought Faction has decreased to: Hostile (65/100)】
Bai Cangshu looked at the suddenly appearing prompt and looked back at the street, where two guys in special costumes seemed to be asking passersby for information.
There were also a few passersby pointing in his direction.
Bai Cangshu frowned; could it be that just because he injured an ordinary passerby, the Vought Faction's Reputation for him had become so low?
If the Vought Faction were truly such an altruistic and righteous group, then the story of this world would not have happened.
On the contrary, 【The Boys】 itself tells a story with an Anti-Hero theme.
These people in this world who gained Superpowers did not awaken any heroism; on the contrary, Superpowers only caused their desires to be amplified without limit.
!
The 【Seven】, who stand at the pinnacle of Superheroes, are even more so, using media and public opinion to package themselves as the world's top heroes.
But in private, most are villains who stop at nothing.
【A-Train】, who got so high on drugs that he smashed a passerby to pieces while running at super speed;
【Translucent】, who likes to use his invisibility to peep at and even violate others;
【The Deep】, who spends all day "bonding" with an octopus;
And the 【Homelander】, who leads this group of villains, likes breast milk, and enjoys "Moon Fang Heaven-Piercer" in the city under the cover of night.
Bai Cangshu's figure was light; with a tap of his toes, he leaped high into the air, stepped on the wall, and jumped back onto a seven or eight-meter-high staircase.
The few heroes searching for Bai Cangshu below lost his trail.
Bai Cangshu followed the staircase to the top floor and saw that several people were already standing on the roof.
The leader was a man wearing an orange monk's robe, with half of his body exposed.
And the others were all women, wearing black uniforms, holding binoculars, and observing the situation around them.
"Yo, looks like you also had your Reputation lowered by the Vought Faction directly."
The monk took the initiative to greet Bai Cangshu.
When the space transports Reincarnators, it basically drops Reincarnators of the same faction nearby.
The monk's words also proved this point; he had encountered the same situation as Bai Cangshu.
Bai Cangshu also noticed at this time that there were two people on the roof of the building opposite; one of them, a boy-like guy, was standing on the railing of the roof, his body tilted, as if a gust of wind could blow him off.
The monk came to within three meters of Bai Cangshu before stopping his Footwork. His complexion was somewhat dark, and he should have looked like an honest and steady person, but he always wore a smile that made people feel discordant.
"It really isn't simple; that guy 9527 actually attracted both 【Evil Child】 and 【Tao Baibai】 to pursue him."
"I'm a little scared; you guys wouldn't have any ideas about me, would you?"
He clearly recognized Bai Cangshu's identity. Now in the East District, this Avatar of Bai Cangshu already had a fairly high level of recognition.
Bai Cangshu also revealed a smile; he could feel the faint killing intent coming from the person in front of him.
This monk was clearly not a simple character either.
The heartbeats and breathing frequencies of those few women who were observing the surroundings with binoculars had become shallow ever since he came up, their muscles tense, already prepared for battle.
"That guy is 【Evil Child】."
Bai Cangshu had also heard of the name 【Evil Child】. This guy's Avatar was in the appearance of a teenager, with white hair, fair skin, and often wore a green windbreaker.
His style of conduct was very cruel, and he was a Reincarnator known for his brutality.
Some people guessed that 【Evil Child】 might be a dwarfism patient in the real world, but there was no evidence to confirm it.
Bai Cangshu knew that anyone who could get the news of this 【Card】 was definitely not a mediocre person, so he was not very surprised.
He suddenly curled his lips and said to the monk,
"I am Tao Baibai, he is Evil Child, and you... who are you again?"
The discordant smile on the monk's face slowly faded. His fame, to a certain extent, was even louder than 【Tao Baibai】 and 【Evil Child】.
Kage has experienced more missions and is a more senior Reincarnator.
Since Tao Baibai before him had heard the name "Bad Boy," he could not possibly be unaware that in a previous mission, he had forced "Bad Boy" to flee in defeat.
Therefore...
"Are you insulting me?"
Kage's expression turned cold, the flesh on his face twitching twice; Bai Cangshu felt that only now did this face look normal.
This Kage was meant to have this kind of tyrannical face to begin with.
Kage held his right hand upright before his chest, while his other hand was hidden behind his back.
Circles of golden light began to shine from his right hand.
Seeing this scene, Bai Cangshu also changed the frequency of his breathing through his nose and mouth, and golden Ripple began to drift from his hands, trailing behind him like ribbons.
Ever since arriving on the rooftop, Bai Cangshu had sensed Kage's killing intent; the three of them were all there for that card, so there was no possibility of cooperation at all.
He spoke with Bai Cangshu while deliberately walking to a very close distance, which in itself carried malice.
And Bai Cangshu was not a person to be trifled with either; he provoked the other party on the surface, but he had already made up his mind in his heart.
The next moment, Bai Cangshu suddenly stomped his Footwork hard; amidst the cracking sound of the ground, Bai Cangshu himself appeared instantly before Kage and threw a punch, causing the air to explode with a boom.
Kage did not dodge or evade, spreading his hands wide as golden energy rapidly expanded to a range of over ten meters, enveloping Bai Cangshu.
Bang!
Bai Cangshu punched Kage in the chest, white Force penetrating through his body.
Kage's eyes shifted slightly, his feet gripping the ground hard, but his entire body was still sent sliding backward.
At the same time, Bai Cangshu felt a pain in his forehead, as if he had been pricked by a needle.
He immediately rolled backward, threw a few high-explosive grenades, and had already turned and headed down the stairs, entering the interior of the building through the emergency exit.
Boom!
A violent explosion occurred on the rooftop, and the building was instantly thrown into a panic.
Everyone screamed, trying to find the location of the explosion, while Bai Cangshu blended into the crowd and disappeared.
Kage frowned; this Tao Baibai did not seem as tough as he had imagined. Suddenly, his expression changed, and he turned, grabbed the railing, and leaped down.
The other few women had not yet recovered from the shock; they were merely subjects farmed by Kage and did not possess many resources.
Hum~
Like the sonic boom of a supersonic fighter jet passing through the air, causing the eardrums of the few to bleed, they turned around to see a blond man wearing a Stars and Stripes suit already standing on the rooftop.
Homelander tilted his head, looking at the messy, bombed-out rooftop of the building, and then looked at the few Asian women remaining at the scene.
He spread his hands.
"Hey, ladies, before my camera crew arrives, please stay calm, okay?"
Seeing Homelander appear, one of them subconsciously produced a black firearm in her hand and aimed it at Homelander.
Seeing this, Homelander's expression turned cold, his eyes narrowed, and Heat Vision erupted.
Pfft!
The woman's upper body swayed a few times before falling to the ground.
