Chapter 132 - 131: Dark Web Deliveries, Each More Ridiculous Than the Last

Half an hour later, Li Jing returned to his new home with groceries.

After spending some time arranging the large smart home appliances he had purchased, Li Jing did not hurry to unpack the smart home appliances that needed to be installed separately.

It was already past ten in the morning, and it was time to start preparing lunch.

Just as he was about to go to the kitchen, the doorbell rang with a "ding dong". A sinister male voice echoed from the intercom.

"Is Mr. Li Jing available? There’s a package for you."

A package?

Li Jing was slightly taken aback, but quickly realized that it was the supercomputer parts Xiao Ai had ordered.

The efficiency of the Dark Web Black Market was quite high. When they said the delivery would arrive before noon, it arrived before noon.

Without much thought, Li Jing stepped out of the villa.

As soon as he walked out the door, he saw a man dressed as a delivery guy standing outside the compound gate.

The man was wearing a strange duckbill cap. It carried a vague, obscure power that made it feel like you could see his face, but couldn’t recognize it.

Seeing this situation, Li Jing frowned slightly.

The one delivering things from the Dark Web Black Market would definitely not be an ordinary deliveryman.

He was prepared for this.

But the one outside the gate was a bit too extraordinary...

The duckbill cap did its job indeed, but the uncanny feeling of wanting to see but not able to recognize the guy made him look even more suspicious, didn’t it?

Why not just stick a "I am suspicious" label on his back?

With a weird look on his face, Li Jing approached and opened the outer gate, then spoke.

"I am Li Jing."

"Hmm."

The man responded, looked around, and said.

"Mr. Li, the goods you’ve ordered are quite a few. It’s not suitable to take them out here. Can we move them inside?"

"No need for that."

Li Jing answered, grabbed the Boundary Stone then gently squeezed it.

The spatial boundaries quietly opened.

Suddenly finding himself in a spatial boundary, the man stiffened.

Boundary Stone!

Only the Patrol had that!

From the speed of opening the spatial boundary, it was obvious that he was prepared!

In an instant, the man thought of many possibilities.

He silently retreated half a step and whispered.

"Mr. Li, I’m just a worker. I have no idea about the Dark Web."

Upon hearing this, Li Jing looked at him with interest.

This guy seemed to have a strong will to survive?

"Take the stuff out, and forget you were here."

Hearing Li Jing’s words, the man hesitated for a moment and then relaxed.

Stumbling upon a Patrol while delivering goods, he thought he had walked into a "trap" and that the Dark Web was being surveilled by the Patrol.

But with Li Jing’s words, he understood.

This guy simply bought something and didn’t want others to know he had been shopping on the Dark Web.

"Rest assured, Mr. Li, I will keep my mouth shut about this."

After saying this understandingly, the man added.

"Mr. Li, you also don’t need to worry about the sales record of the Dark Web. Once the goods are confirmed, all record data will be deleted and no one can track what you’ve bought."

As he spoke, he waved his hand and took out a heap of equipment from the storage space.

"Mr. Li, all your purchased goods are here. Each one of them is genuine, with a verification certificate, but I can’t guarantee whether it’s being sold for the first time or where its source channel is."

"Hmm."

Li Jing nodded, looking at the heaps of equipment and appliances, feeling a bit overwhelmed.

Piled together, they were like a small mountain.

He couldn’t tell exactly how many parts there were.

There were ten large cabinets, similar in size to double-door refrigerators, put separately to one side – they gave Li Jing a headache.

Nevermind how troublesome the assembly would be, he feared he would have to clear out a whole room for Xiao Ai just to fit these ten large cabinets.

With a silent sigh, Li Jing waved his hand and gathered all the things into his storage space.

Regardless, the stuff that has arrived should be accepted.

At least, the supercomputer that Xia Ai set up is "economical", otherwise, his newly bought villa might not be able to accommodate it.

Before he time-travelled,

Any mention of a supercomputer would refer to hundreds or even thousands of server racks occupying large warehouses, wouldn’t it?

With the dual support of Immortal Learning and science, its size is already considered small.

After tidying up, Li Jing deactivated the energy within the Boundary Stone.

Free to return to this world, the courier respectfully bowed.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for your patronage. The goods have been confirmed to be delivered."

While speaking, he handed over a business card with both hands.

"This is my card. In addition to the delivery services I provide for the Dark Web Black Market, I also undertake various confidential special transportation tasks individually. If needed, you can contact me, Mr. Li. For the next visit to the Dark Web, you can specifically request me for delivery."

Li Jing wanted to say he didn’t need it, but when he looked up, he saw the man turn into a cloud of black mist and dissipate before his eyes, leaving only a business card quietly falling.

Seeing this sudden scene, Li Jing was slightly stunned.

Special Escape Method, and a very high-level one at that.

This man’s cultivation level, he’s afraid it’s at least at the Four Realm.

An object worth five million, delivered by someone from the Four Realm.

Is this for real?

Putting aside others, a Four Realm courier, earning less than a million a month at the very least, is simply counter-intuitive.

A Four Realm courier, it’s really a bit puzzling.

Picking up the falling business card and taking a glance at it, the words "No Book" entered his sight. Li Jing casually pulled out Xia Ai.

"Xia Ai, besides computer equipment, what else does the Dark Web Black Market sell?"

In response to the question, Xia Ai lit up the screen and popped his head out.

"As long as you can think of it, they sell everything, including rare spiritual objects, magic skills, and living human-shaped demons. However, Dark Web members have clear level divisions, and you can’t access those items without reaching the level. Usually what the Dark Web sells is merchandise you cannot buy elsewhere, and computer equipment is only the lowest tier. The higher the Dark Web member level, the more sensitive the things they can access, and there’s no such thing as fair trade. If you want to buy, you have to give a price that will tempt the seller."

Listening to Xia Ai’s explanation, Li Jing raised an eyebrow.

It seems he had underestimated the Dark Web Black Market.

If he needs something in the future, perhaps he can check out the Dark Web.

With that in mind, Li Jing inquired.

"How can I raise my Dark Web member level?"

"By trading goods on the Dark Web, you can accumulate points to increase your level."

As Xia Ai responded, he said,

"Don’t worry about this, master. The Dark Web Black Market exists in the form of the internet. If you’re interested in the Dark Web, Xia Ai can secretly change the level for you. You’re the patrol, even if it’s discovered by the Dark Web, no one would dare to do anything. If it doesn’t work, Xia Ai will take down the Dark Web and stop them from doing business."

"..."

Li Jing remained silent.

Xia Ai’s words made sense.

But the Dark Web Black Market has reached this level without being taken down by the patrol division, surely it won’t be as simple as it seems?

Just a courier has a cultivation level of Four Realm.

If it’s really pushed to the edge, it might cause big trouble.

Shaking his head, Li Jing said,

"Don’t do anything rash. I’ll figure out this Dark Web level thing myself in the future. Since we’re using their channel, we need to play by their rules."

"Ah... OK, Xia Ai understands."

Xia Ai nodded his head.

As Li Jing instructed Xia Ai, he put away "No Book’s" card, saying,

"Your accessories are all here, we’ll assemble them in the afternoon."

"Ok, I can wait until you have time."

Xia Ai obediently replied, then said,

"The time is almost right, do you want to contact the mistress?"

?

Li Jing slowly typed a question mark.

Mistress?

Before he could figure it out, Xia Ai mischievously smiled and opened the Immortal Message contact list, flipping to Liu Sisi’s contact number.

Seeing this, a smirk lifted at the corner of Li Jing’s mouth.

This Xia Ai, was being a bit too cunning.

Upon seeing Chen Yuran, their tiny mouth was still dripping with honey, calling out "Sister Yuran".

When they saw Liu Sisi, did the mistress actually appear?

While looking at Xiaai helplessly, Li Jing reached out to push her head away, shifted her from the screen, and then started composing a message.

"Sisi, I bought a separate house in the Closed Moon Flower Garden. Wanna come over for lunch? Chen Yuran is also coming over soon, she said she wants to formally meet you."

The message was sent. Liu Sisi replied soon afterwards.

"You bought a house!? Just like that?"

Immediately after, she sent another message at lightning speed.

"Aren’t you rushing this a bit too much? I am not mentally prepared for this."

Seeing this double message, Li Jing frowned and replied with a "?".

This time, Liu Sisi did not immediately reply.

After a while, she sent an unhappy emoji and a message along with it.

"Send me the address, I am not finished with work yet. I will bring myself there later."

"Okay, I’ll be waiting for you."

Li Jing replied to the message and simultaneously edited the address to send it. He then put Xiaai away.

Overnight, Liu Sisi seemed to have "recovered" quite well.

She replied to the messages quickly and her habit of speaking nonsensically also returned.

Just as he was about to go back to his room to prepare lunch, Chen Yuran arrived holding two large bags.

The moment she saw him, Chen Yuran greeted him with a smile.

"Is it too late for me to come back?"

"No. I haven’t started preparing for lunch yet."

As Li Jing spoke, he noticed the large bags in her hands. He discerned they were filled with food ingredients, and asked curiously.

"I already bought the ingredients, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Chen Yuran interrupted.

"I know you bought them, but these are for my meals for the next week."

"..."

Li Jing.

Seeing him speechless, Chen Yuran couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

"You just bought this house, your fridge must be empty. Should I fill it for you, aren’t you grateful?"

Hearing this, Li Jing silently rolled his eyes and took the bags while asking.

"What did your uncle say?"

"He didn’t say anything."

Chen Yuran shrugged, stating.

"He wants you to know that he won’t easily send you to participate in events outside the jurisdiction of the Security Department. It’s for your own good."

"For my own good?"

Li Jing was taken aback.

If that’s the situation, it isn’t what he desired.

Anyone can ask him for help.

But if nobody does, how can he earn money or gain experience?

But Li Jing conceded, given that Chen Jing must have had his reasons for his actions, nodded his understanding, and walked into the house.

Seeing this, Chen Yuran followed him in, asking.

"What about your boss lady? Is she coming over for lunch?"

"I just contacted her. She said she will come over when she finishes her work."

Li Jing replied, glancing at the Chen Yuran who was happily following behind him, and stopped.

"Well, how about... you go back and free Stinky Tofu? We could use the rare opportunity to host a get-together and let it feast a bit too."

"Stinky Tofu?"

Chen Yuran’s eyes lit up; she finally remembered her dog that she had tied up just now and nodded.

"Sure, I’ll go back and bring it over. You alone in the kitchen must be overwhelmed, I will be your helper."

"No, you should just rest. I can handle the kitchen alone."

Li Jing refused promptly.

Starting to prepare lunch now is indeed a bit rushed.

Having an assistant would undoubtedly be a great help.

But if Chen Yuran is the one helping, then, forget it.

Having lived under the same roof with Chen Yuran for nearly a month, he had a clear understanding.

This lady is capable of blowing up the kitchen even by simply boiling noodles.

If she enters the kitchen, that’s a recipe for disaster.

Now that he had just bought a new house, Li Jing didn’t wish for any trouble to occur.

Chen Yuran was rejected quite mercilessly, and she clicked her tongue in an awkward way.

"You are making so much a fuss! I just wanted to lend you a hand! Why not I just keep my hands off the stuff that can start a fire?"

"Just lie down and wait for the meal, don’t cause a mess."

Li Jing shook his head.

Seeing that he was immovable, Chen Yuran reluctantly gave up the idea of "helping" and went back to her villa.

...

In a blink of an eye, more than an hour passed.

In the kitchen, Li Jing was still busily preparing.

In the living room, Chen Yuran was lazily sprawled on the couch, munching on the potato chips she bought when she was out for groceries, and was boredly watching the news on the TV.

Stinky Tofu had the opportunity to visit Li Jing’s new house, and was quite excited about the unfamiliar environment.

Its bloodline was stirring restlessly.

But under the "deterrence" of Chen Yuran, it behaved well and docilely watched TV with her.

As a person and the dog were watching TV, Liu Sisi, carrying a butchered Spirit Chicken, entered the house from the outside.

Seeing Chen Yuran as she entered, Liu Sisi was taken aback.

Chen Yuran, she certainly knew.

It’s just that when she saw the meticulous lady officer sprawled on the couch as if she had no bones, she wondered for a moment if she had come to the wrong place.

Could Chen Yuran be so laid-back when not at her house?

When Chen Yuran saw Liu Sisi, her eyes lit up and she quickly got up.

"Sisi, you’re finally here! I’ve been waiting for you for a long time!"

Before she finished speaking, Stinky Tofu also jumped up excitedly, eliciting a bark and shaking its head and tail.

As they greeted her enthusiastically, Liu Sisi instinctively made a humming sound.

Seeing both person and dog ranging toward the door, she unconsciously stepped back half a step.

"Chen Patrol..."

Before she could finish speaking, Chen Yuran warmly grabbed her arm.

"We’re all friends here. Sisi, you can just call me Yuran. Don’t be so formal."

As she spoke, Chen Yuran swiftly cast a glance at the butchered Spirit Chicken that Liu Sisi was holding and swallowed her saliva.

"Sisi, this chicken of yours..."

How crafty could Liu Sisi be?

Just from this question alone, she immediately realized the enthusiasm of the other party was directed at the Spirit Chicken.

Frankly speaking, this spectacle baffled Liu Sisi a bit.

She more or less recognized Chen Yuran, but they didn’t understand each other completely.

Li Jing didn’t usually talk about Chen Yuran in the shop.

At this moment, upon meeting, she felt as if the Chen Yuran she knew previously was a fake.

Just as she was uncertain about how to react, Li Jing, having heard the noise outside, came out from the kitchen.

Upon seeing the butchered Spirit Chicken in her hand, Li Jing’s eyes brightened.

"Sisi, why did you bring a chicken with you when you arrived?"

"..."

Liu Sisi turned her head, unable to speak.

It could slide for Chen Yuran and Stinky Tofu.

Spirit chickens - who doesn’t love them?

She ate them every day, and after many years, was still not tired of them.

But Li Jing seeing her only pursuing the Spirit Chicken she was carrying was a bit too much!

Their relationship now was not the same as before. Shouldn’t he

That was not all.

In his excitement, he had also blurted out the nickname he once called her.
