Chapter 36: 036 Delivery

Jin Xin looked at the jade pendant on the table: "Keep this thing with me for now. Collect more of these scrolls when you have time."

Zhang Bei touched his nose: "Are you interested?"

Jin Xin nodded: "It doesn't count as interest, I just want to explore the truth."

"Okay, I'll keep an eye out for you."

Back in his room, Zhang Bei sat on the bed and looked at the flashing text on his watch.

【Do you want to claim the reward?】

This was the reward for completing the task today; he had delayed it until now to have time to claim it.

He reached out and clicked claim.

【Drawing reward】

【Reward drawing successful, congratulations to player Zhang Bei for obtaining one Positioning Card】

As the watch's voice fell, the system in his brain immediately made a sound.

【Please choose to invest Popularity Value.】

Among the four options, only the first and second were still lit. Zhang Bei didn't hesitate.

He directly chose to invest one thousand Popularity Value.

The numbers on the golden screen scrolled rapidly, and soon the text stopped on a number.

【Current critical multiplier: ten!】

White lights flashed in the sky, and ten cards with a pale blue glow landed on the bed.

He reached out and picked one up, and the watch also provided an introduction to this card.

【Positioning Card, LV8

Characteristic: Enter the name of a wild beast to locate its current position.

Duration: eight hours

Current usage count: 1/1】

Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes; he had to say that this card came at the right time.

He still had more than ten tasks on him, most of which were hunting.

It was not easy to find these fierce beasts, but with this card, the rest of the things became much simpler.

"Someone is looking for you, do you want to see them?"

Jin Xin's calm voice came from outside the door.

Zhang Bei put the card away and reached out to pull open the door.

Seeing Zhang Bei, Jin Xin immediately lowered her voice.

"I said before that a very strong person lives here. Now they are downstairs, do you want to see them?"

Zhang Bei frowned: "Looking for me?"

Jin Xin nodded: "If I guessed correctly, it should be because of this difficulty upgrade. If we can recruit them, it will be a good thing for us."

"I see."

Following Jin Xin downstairs, what caught his eye were two people, one tall and one short, sitting on chairs.

The man holding the wine pot stood up: "Hello Langzi, my name is Xiao Cheng, and this is my younger brother Xiong Ping."

Hearing the introduction, Zhang Bei's eyes immediately became confused.

Xiao Cheng also knew that this introduction would indeed cause misunderstandings, so he explained.

"Same mother, different father, but our relationship has always been very good."

Hearing the explanation, Zhang Bei nodded: "My name is Zhang Bei, you can call me whatever."

Jin Xin brought hot tea from the side, poured it for them, and sat beside Zhang Bei.

Xiao Cheng had a smile on his face: "It's not easy to manage such a large city alone, right?"

Zhang Bei nodded slightly: "It's okay, many things are handled by others helping me."

Qiu Xingwen: 【This person came here just to chat?】

Ye Fan: 【Xiao Cheng is saying that this city is managed well and he wants to join in.】

Li Qinqin: 【Brother Bei means: I already have many people here, why should you join?】

Qiu Xingwen: 【Holy crap, so I'm the only illiterate one?】

Hearing Zhang Bei's voice, Xiao Cheng also frowned.

This matter was indeed not easy to handle. Strength was not as valued as imagined here at Zhang Bei's place.

It was certain that even if the two brothers went together, they might not be able to beat him.

"Then I don't know if you still have time to manage the recently established combat squad?"

Hearing Xiao Cheng's words, Zhang Bei nodded slightly.

Now that he had obtained the Positioning Card, he might be acting alone more often in the future.

After all, some things were not convenient to show in front of everyone.

Originally, the combat squad would have been handed over to Daniu sooner or later.

But now that someone had delivered themselves to his door, as long as they could suppress these people.

Zhang Bei didn't mind changing someone to lead them.

"The combat power of that group of people is not weak, are you sure?"

This sentence counted as Zhang Bei's invitation.

It's just that whether this man could suppress this group of people was really hard to say.

The corners of Xiao Cheng's mouth curled up: "Please take care of me!"

Zhang Bei raised his teacup: "Then tomorrow at eight, go to the square and give it a try!"

"Okay!"

Xiao Cheng achieved his goal and wouldn't stay at Zhang Bei's place any longer, so he took his brother out of the small building.

Jin Xin frowned, watching the backs of the two leaving.

"Is it okay to hand over the combat squad to him directly?"

Zhang Bei smiled: "Don't worry, he is a smart person. Without absolute strength, he will never betray."

Watching the little girl still struggling, Zhang Bei rubbed her head.

"You just like to overthink everything. You must remember, in this world now, strength is the most important thing."

Jin Xin was stunned on the spot.

For so long, no matter what happened, she had mostly relied on her intelligence to solve it.

Why resort to fighting and killing if you can use your brain?

But today, Zhang Bei's words could be considered a reminder to her.

The world has changed now. In this Ice Age.

There are always people who can rely on strength to break through all tactics.

One force overcomes ten meetings; that is the truth.

Zhang Bei smiled: "It's good that you understand!"

As soon as the words fell, Daniu's call request popped up on the watch.

Listening to the urgent ringing, he chose to answer.

"Boss, something happened, the Qingshan Settlement brought people over."

"How many people, where?"

Zhang Bei's tone was very calm; it was only a matter of time before the Qingshan Settlement came knocking.

Daniu paused: "Only one, at the Teleportation Point."

Hearing Daniu's hesitant tone, Zhang Bei narrowed his eyes.

Only one person could force Daniu to ask him for help, which meant this person was definitely not easy to deal with.

"I'll be there immediately!"

"Okay!"

In a few minutes, Zhang Bei quickly approached the Teleportation Point.

What appeared before his eyes were countless City Defense personnel who had been seriously injured.

Daniu was confronting a man with a group of people.

Qiu Xingwen: 【Holy crap, Shaxing!】

Niu Xuanming: 【Holy crap, why did Qingshan send him!】

Li Qinqin: 【We're in trouble this time!】

Daniu quickly approached Zhang Bei's side.

"He is the person sent by the Qingshan Settlement, nicknamed Shaxing. Even when he was an ordinary person, he could fight a Short-tailed Crocodile with one hand."

Hearing Daniu's explanation, Zhang Bei also remembered the information about this man.

No one knew what the man's original name was.

But the first hunting reward of the Ice Age came from him.

Later, for some unknown reason, he entered the Qingshan Settlement.

During the last riot, he killed more than thirty Transcendent Beings by himself.

And because of this, he was called Shaxing. ===== CHAPTER 37 =====
