Chapter 14: The Uninvited Guest

  Peng City

  Peng City is located on the southern coast of Huaxia and is the first special economic zone in Huaxia's history. The name Peng City comes from history, also because the map of Peng City looks like a big peng spreading its wings to fly, but Zhou Jian looked left and right, this map clearly looks like a chicken leg that has been bitten off.

  Peng City is one of the richest cities in Huaxia, with a per capita GDP even higher than that of Hua Du, where Zhou Jian is located. It is also a gathering place for high-tech talents in Huaxia.

  When the maglev train arrived at Peng City, Zhou Jian took off his gaming helmet. In order to seize the time to level up, Zhou Jian had been playing "Shen Mo" all along the way.

  He brought two gaming headsets, Xiaoyin's and his own. Xiaoyin's was for playing games, while his own was for stealing necklaces.

  Found a decent hotel to stay in, then Zhou Jian put on his own gaming helmet and switched consciousness into the body of "Mingjian", the Ghost Killer.

  These days, Zhou Jian did a lot of experiments and confirmed three things. Firstly, no matter when or where, as long as he wore the game helmet, Mingjian would appear by his side; secondly, items carried on Mingjian's body that were not from the "Shenmo" game could not enter stealth mode, for example, if Mingjian held a camera and entered stealth mode, others would not be able to see him but would see a floating camera; thirdly, Mingjian's backpack could store non-game items, such as cameras, and even in stealth mode, they would not be exposed, as long as they were not taken out, and once Zhou Jian logged off, the Ghost Killer disguise would disappear, and the stored items would drop.

  Locking the door, Zhou Jian's true body remained in the hotel room, while Ghost Killer Name Sword arrived at the downtown area.

  To avoid drawing attention, Zhou Jian removed the eye-catching equipment from Mingjian's body. In fact, Mingjian was Zhou Jian, equivalent to one person having two bodies, and if they stood side by side, even a mule couldn't tell who was who. It was like the Na'vi incarnation in the movie "Avatar". Zhou Jian sometimes wondered that if his main body died, could he continue to exist in this world as a Ghost Killer? Just like the protagonist of "Avatar", living on Pandora with a Na'vi body.

  Zhou Jian hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Azure Coast Villa District.

  The Azure Coast Villa area is a gathering place for the rich in Peng City, with European-style architecture and carefully manicured gardens, making it look like an aristocratic garden.

  This villa area is naturally heavily guarded, the gate needs to be swiped into, 24-hour security, someone patrols at night in the community, and cameras are almost blind spot. Once suspicious signs are found, the police will rush to the scene immediately.

  It was already after 8 pm, Zhou Jian arrived near the Azure Coast, found a corner of a wall, took off his exaggerated gaming coat that disguised himself, and activated his skill - Stealth.

  With a leap, the several-meter-high wall was crossed as if it were a threshold. Ignoring the surveillance cameras and passersby, Zhou Jian sprinted towards Villa No. 36.

  The villas on the C?te d'Azur were arranged in order, so Zhou Jian easily found his target. From a distance, he saw that No. 36 villa was lit up.

  Zhou Jian approached the villa entrance, using his basic thieving skills to detect any traps, mechanisms or hidden enemies.

  There is no one on the first floor, and there are three people on the second floor, who should all be women.

  Zhou Jian reached the door and used his basic thieving skill - lockpicking...

  ……

  At this time, Qingyun fairy and her sister Xiaobai were completely unaware of the unexpected visitor's arrival. The two sisters were chatting in their bedroom, wearing casual clothes at home, although there was no spring light leaking out, but the figure of the girl hidden under the thin clothes had a kind of fatal temptation.

  "Sister, you really put that diamond hair clip on your head, that annoying guy is obviously bragging, how could he possibly steal this thing? I bet he can't even get into the neighborhood, just wait and see what he has to say later, humph." Little White Rabbit Candy smugly raised her small mouth, as if she had already seen Zhou Jian's embarrassed expression, thinking about that annoying guy being embarrassed is so satisfying.

  "Hehe, good sister, don't underestimate anyone, but this time you're right, he really has no chance of winning. I'll just put this hair clip on my head, and see if it can fly."

  "And another thing, sister, don't let that guy into our guild, just look at his sly face, he probably won't do anything good." Little White Rabbit Candy said with a pout, shaking Light Cloud Fairy's hand.

  "Sister, what are you talking nonsense about? At such a young age, you're already having all sorts of wild thoughts. When did anyone become infatuated?" Qingyun Xianzi scolded, lightly tapping the forehead of Xiaobai Tuzi's adorable candy-like face. "Alright, alright, go take a bath and sleep. That person is very important to us."

  "I just can't see what's so great about him, his level is so much lower than mine and his equipment is so crappy." Little White Rabbit Candy pouted in discontent.

  "That guy may be low-level, but he's really good at playing games. When we were in the Devil's Nest, if it wasn't for him, we would have been completely wiped out. Don't forget that his equipment is very poor, and do you think sealing the Demon King's heart with Pandora's seal was that easy? Even as a thief, he's surrounded by danger, but he still managed to complete it."

  "Hmph, he happened to be right."

  "This guy is a gaming genius, he can switch to a hidden profession and it's not just because of luck. In the future, my sister might have to rely on 'Shen Mo' to make a living, having more helpers is naturally good, but I don't know what his character is like."

  "It's terrible, no need to ask."

  "Alright, alright, don't argue with me for no reason. It's not like I'm the one who killed your kitty, and it's not like we can't save it anyway. Go take a bath now, it's already past 8 o'clock. You need to go to bed at 9 o'clock, you have school tomorrow."

  "I'm not going tomorrow, I already know the lessons that teacher taught, and I'll play games tomorrow." Little White Rabbit gave her sister a mischievous face and ran to the bathroom with a smile.

  Xīng Yún Xiān Zǐ helplessly shook her head, she really couldn't do anything about this younger sister of hers. However, although she played games, her schoolwork hadn't fallen behind, and her intelligence was inherited from her father, even more clever than herself.

  The sound of water came from the bathroom, but Qingyun Xianzi was uneasy. These days, that thing had been lingering in her mind, making her restless.

  Look at the watch, 8:15, whether there is something or not, looking at the time is a habitual action of Qingyun Xianzi. One reason is that she has a strong sense of time, and the other is that she never feels safe at any moment. She doesn't know what will happen in the next second, and sometimes when her mobile phone suddenly rings, she will be startled. She is afraid that it is a call from her subordinate to inform her of bad news.

  Qingyun fairy didn't like the feeling of being alone in the house, it made her extremely annoyed and uneasy. These days she had been sleeping with her sister, having someone by her side gave her a sense of fullness and security.

  "Yun Auntie, help me heat up a bowl of congee later." Light Cloud Fairy pushed open the bedroom door and said to the nanny.

  "Miss is going to stay up late again, staying up late is not good for the skin." A woman in her 40s said while wiping the floor, there were only two sisters and a nanny in this villa.

  "Aunt Yun, I've already said that the floor doesn't need to be wiped anymore, it's already so bright. Aunt Yun, please help me heat up a bowl of porridge and then go to sleep, I still have some materials to look at."

  "Yes, miss, don't stay up too late, it's bad for your skin." The woman said as she put on an apron and went to the kitchen after washing her hands.

  In fact, with Qingyun Xianzi's personality, she wouldn't have invested her precious time in the game, but "Shenmo" is indeed the only way out she can think of now...
