It was already afternoon. The sky became darker, and the rain became heavier.

There were fewer pedestrians on the road.

Xu Jingming wore a straw raincoat and a bamboo hat and walked silently alone.

Without the Blood Rain World’s targeting, it will be raining heavily outside the Imperial City. I shouldn’t encounter Black Lotus Sect disciples, Xu Jingming thought to himself.

He didn’t panic. Even if he encountered Black Lotus Sect disciples from afar, he could run! Without the world’s targeting, the Black Lotus Sect’s team was unlikely to keep chasing after him.

As for encountering ordinary bandits? As a super expert, Xu Jingming felt that the ones who should be afraid in the encounter were the ordinary bandits!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The rain became heavier.

Xu Jingming stepped on the yellowish grass and traversed the wilderness. At this moment, the official road was very muddy, making it unsuitable for walking.

He walked rather quickly. It only took him an hour to cover a distance of more than 50 kilometers.

It went pretty smoothly; I didn’t encounter any plundering. Xu Jingming entered the forest and began searching for the bundles. After Tu Ling and Zhang Qing went offline, they had already sent a video to Xu Jingming. Through the video, Xu Jingming also knew where the two bundles were hidden.

On this hill, beside a short-necked tree. It’s here! Xu Jingming quickly found the place where Tu Ling had hidden her bundle. He dug and found it hidden inside.

Xu Jingming couldn’t help but reveal a look of joy.

I knew it. It’s buried underground in a remote place. Even if the Blood Rain World has an invisible hand… It won’t be that easy for Blood Rain World’s natives to find it, Xu Jingming thought.

This was a stupid method, but it was also an extremely efficient method. According to the information gathered from the virtual world’s network, many cosmic citizen players in Blood Rain World chose to scatter and hide.

Most of them could preserve a lot of their gains.

3,600 gold. Xu Jingming checked it and placed the gold into the belt he had prepared in satisfaction. He placed the gold pieces neatly and tied the belt around his waist!

The density of gold was very high. The thick belt Xu Jingming had prepared had a portion of its capacity filled, so he could carry quite a bit of gold.

I’ll go to the next place.

Xu Jingming found the place where Zhang Qing hid her bundle in just three minutes. However, this place was filled with footprints, and many places had been excavated. This made Xu Jingming’s expression change.

It’s gone. Xu Jingming also discovered that a huge crater had been dug out where Zhang Qing had hidden her bundle! There was nothing left.

Many people have been here. Xu Jingming observed the many muddy footprints around him and sighed to himself. This is the invisible hand of the world. It guided a bandit team to pass by? A bandit happened to discover the hidden bundle?

He had expected to lose one of the two bundles of gold.

He didn’t suspect Zhang Qing of leaking the news in the virtual world and getting other cosmic citizen players to dig it out in advance. This was because… He was considered fast to have rushed over to the hidden bundle! Moreover, he could tell from the muddy footprints that a group of people had passed by.

There was no need for so many cosmic citizen players to rush over. Moreover, after discovering the gold, they had dug up plenty of the surroundings.

Zhang Qing had just become a cosmic citizen not long ago, so she knew very little about the virtual world. Moreover, as China’s number one female swordsman, Zhang Qing’s character was trustworthy.

I have to return to the capital before the city gates close. Xu Jingming immediately returned silently.

In the heavy rain.

Xu Jingming was alone in the wilderness.

The sky was dark, and the rain was heavy. The visibility even for qualified experts was 100 meters—this protected Xu Jingming to a certain extent.

The return journey went very smoothly. He didn’t encounter any looting and returned to the capital.

Done. Xu Jingming returned to his permanent residence in South City.

He divided the 3,600 gold into three parts and carefully hid them! Unless someone came to tear down the house and dig three feet into the ground, they could forget about finding the gold.

I won’t deposit this 3,600 gold into the bank. After all, it’s not a lot. Xu Jingming lay down on a recliner and took a flask of wine and some snacks. He then leisurely ate and drank as he stared at the pouring rain outside. When I reach Lv. 7, I’ll think of a way to gather 10,000 gold for the sacrifice.

In Xu Jingming’s personal space in the virtual world.

After the mission ended, Xu Jingming naturally gave Liu Hai, Tu Ling, and Zhang Qing a treat.

“Brother Xu, have you found the two bundles you hid?” Tu Ling asked.

“It’s about as I expected,” Xu Jingming said with a smile. “We obtained too much gold this time and were targeted by Blood Rain World! Master and I encountered a Black Lotus Sect team on the way. One of the bundles we hid was also discovered by bandits. We were quite lucky to get a bundle back.”

Tu Ling and Zhang Qing nodded slightly.

“The more money one gains in Blood Rain World, the more they will be targeted.” Liu Hai nodded. “I’m still weak. If I had the strength of a super expert, I might be able to escape from the Black Lotus Sect’s team.”

“A super expert’s actual combat bonus has to be at least 20×,” Tu Ling exclaimed in surprise. “I’ve only exceeded 5× since I started cultivating.”

“I haven’t even reached 5×.” Zhang Qing shook her head.

“Those of us who rely on ourselves to break through to become cosmic lifeforms will quickly reach Lv. 6,” Liu Hai said. “After reaching Lv. 6, our bodies in reality can also transform into intermediate cosmic lifeforms! When that happens, it will be very easy for our actual combat bonus to reach 5×.”
