Chapter 23 Dividing the spoils
Baili Pangpang, who was being held back by Li Jie, had a strange look in his eyes.
Wow, Lei Ge is so reassuring...
He was able to react and pull me away in such a short time; he's definitely a good brother worth making friends with!
"That was close! Brother Lei, your reaction was incredibly fast!"
Fatty patted his chest, feigning fear.
Even if Li Jie hadn't stopped him, he wouldn't have been hurt under Yao Guang's protection. However, Li Jie's action deepened their bond even more.
"It was just a conditioned reflex. If I hadn't stopped you, I don't think you would have suffered any real harm."
After explaining, Li Jie gestured for Lin Qiye to continue walking deeper into the training camp.
"So where are we going now?"
Baili Pangpang quickened his pace to follow behind the two.
Li Jie pointed to Qi Ye beside him.
"Go to the weapons depot and get this guy two knives."
Upon hearing that they were looking for low-level weapons, Baili Pangpang immediately stopped the two of them.
"Oh, it's just a knife, no big deal!"
As he was rummaging through his chest pocket, a violent explosion came from the weapons depot, and Baili Pangpang jumped up and down like a startled fat rabbit.
"Wow, is this really realistic? That's explosives!"
Lin Qiye closed his eyes and sensed for a while. When he discovered that a cool young man wearing a backwards baseball cap and half-undone military uniform was snapping his fingers at the man in the moon mask who had appeared in the warehouse, he also showed a surprised expression.
It turned out to be him?
After opening his eyes, Lin Qiye said something to Li Jie with a helpless expression.
"Brother Li, it seems we can't go to the warehouse. We're too late. The member of the 'Masked' squad who ambushed Fatty earlier, wearing a moon mask, is fighting the troublemaker from the beginning."
Baili Pangpang asked curiously.
"Like that guy who was unconvinced on the training field?"
Qi Ye nodded and continued.
"What do we do now? We can't even get weapons... We're really stuck fighting bare-handed..."
Li Jie put his arm around the troubled Qi Ye and smiled at the chubby boy in front of him.
Weapons? He has plenty here!
He was a little embarrassed at first, but now that the weapons depot has been blown up by the guy, he can legitimately take a few forbidden items to use.
"Fatty, what were you taking out of there just now? Show us!"
The chubby boy scratched his head sheepishly and chuckled.
"They're mostly cheap, low-quality items, but they're definitely enough for the current situation."
He rummaged around in his chest for a while, and pulled out quite a few things with a clatter, muttering to himself as he did so.
"Where did you put it...? Let me look for it..."
Lin Qiye, who was being held by Li Jie, stared blankly at Baili Pangpang, who was constantly dropping equipment like Doraemon.
Where did he hide all these things...?
Let me see... a big sword... a monocle... a small drone... a big broom...
A giant broom? You can hide something like that?
Finally, after searching for a while, Baili Tuming pulled out a pure white straight knife from his chest.
"This is it, Shichiya, you can take it and use it first."
Lin Qiye caught the straight sword that was casually tossed to him with a blank expression, then turned to look at Li Jie, as if to ask, "Was our greeting gift a little too little...?"
Li Jie nodded in deep agreement. Of course, one couldn't use common sense to judge this young master of the Baili Group.
He lacks everything, but he doesn't lack money!
"This is a replica of the forbidden item [Zhanbai] from the Forbidden Ruins Sequence 061, called [Little Zhanbai]. Although it's not as overpowered as the real [Zhanbai], it's definitely much stronger than an ordinary sword. When you draw it, it can ignore distances of up to 5 meters!"
Ignoring a distance of five meters?
This counterfeit item is just that outrageous...
Lin Qiye was at a loss for what to do, so he tugged at Li Jie, who was picking out the forbidden items that Fatty had found.
"Brother Li, this... forbidden item?? Is it really okay for me to take it?"
Before Li Jie could answer, the enthusiastic Baili Tuming spoke first.
"Oh, don't be shy, these are just some cheap things from a street stall, feel free to use them!"
Lin Qiye: Forbidden items...street vendor goods?
"Brother Lei, see if there's anything you like, feel free to use it~"
After looking at it from all angles for a long time, Li Jie finally picked up a golden short sword from the ground.
Upon seeing the forbidden item that Li Jie had chosen, Baili Tuming raised an eyebrow in surprise.
“You know your stuff, Brother Lei. This sword is called ‘One Transforms into Three Thousand.’ When used, it can split into countless clones to attack enemies.”
"So, it seems Brother Lei is a swordsman?"
Hearing Fatty's explanation, Li Jie nodded in understanding.
He saw the golden short sword that had been casually tossed out, and thought it was probably the one called "One Transforms into Three Thousand". He never expected that he would actually guess it correctly.
If I were to actually use this forbidden weapon to unleash a few "Two Green Snakes" attacks...
The scene was absolutely stunning.
What "mask"? He's amazing that he managed to escape from my grasp!
"It is indeed a sword, but if I use it, some bad things might happen, so you can use it instead."
Li Jie ultimately decided to return the [One Transformation into Three Thousand] first.
After all, relying on its ability to turn anything into a sword, if it were to completely imbue the swords split from [One Transforms into Three Thousand] with sword intent, the power would undoubtedly be earth-shattering...
This is just a trial, not a life-or-death battle; we'll stop here when we've reached a point of no return.
If the members of the Masked Squad really wipe out my team, I'll probably be gone too...
"Bad things? Oh, what could possibly happen? They're so strong, how can they beat them without using cheat codes?"
Baili Tuming was about to shove the forbidden item in his hand into Li Jie's hands.
Lin Qiye stepped forward and grabbed him.
"Fatty, unless it's a life-or-death situation, you absolutely must not give this to him."
"why?"
"Because he doesn't distinguish between friend and foe when he uses a sword, if we gave him this, he might just take us all out with him..."
Upon hearing this, Baili Tuming opened his mouth wide and put away the [One Transforms into Three Thousand] technique.
"Is Brother Lei really that fierce?"
Li Jie smiled and shook his head.
"Keep a low profile..."
"Now that the weapons issue is resolved, shouldn't we...start the hunt?"
He looked at Lin Qiye standing to the side and found that the latter was also smiling at him.
Baili Tuming was also a little confused when he saw the two people with strange smiles.
Aren't we now prey for the Mask?
It feels like those two are the hunters...
.......
Inside the observation room, Yuan Gang watched the three men 'dividing the spoils' on the spot, and his lips twitched violently.
This is really bad...
Fortunately, I informed [Mask] in advance that I could use the power of the 'Pool' realm if necessary, otherwise, things might have been very different.
But why didn't Li Jie take Baili's forbidden items?
Yuan Gang probably could never understand Li Jie's thoughts.
If he knew that Li Jie was afraid of losing the "Mask"...
I guess they'll shout too.
Where did this pervert come from?! Arrest him!
