Chapter Fifteen: The Sob in the Wind

  "It's best if you can complete it. If you can't, then you'll just lose 5 points of combat power." Lin Xiang smiled and said to him.

  Lin Xiao heard this and immediately gave her a displeased glance.

  "What you said is easy, but that's a 5-point battle power!" Having tasted the sweetness of battle power, Lin Xiao was in no way going to give up this task.

  With just 3 points of combat power, I'm already so fierce. If I add another 5 points to become 8 points of combat power, that would be incredibly awesome! I reckon I'd almost become a Superman wearing underwear outside!

  "Hehe, since you don't want to give up, brother, then you must work hard!" Lin Xiang covered her mouth and laughed, provoking a wave of annoyance in Lin Xiao.

  "If nothing else, I'll go first. These past few days have been really exhausting, and I haven't had a good night's sleep once." Just thinking about the past few days made Lin Xiao sigh repeatedly. The restaurant was indeed not a good place to sleep, and it was impossible to get a good rest.

  "En, okay." Lin Xiang smiled and nodded, "But before I leave, I want to remind you, brother, that your current 1st level boundary is only left with 29 points, not enough to enter that world again. In fact, that world was quite suitable for you to accumulate wealth, but you didn't find the right method."

  "Didn't find the right method?" Lin Xiao thought for a moment, and it seemed that he was indeed affected by the robber he encountered at the beginning, so much so that he seemed to have fallen into a strange circle of thinking and couldn't pull himself out.

  "It seems I need to change my approach next time." Lin Xiao thought to himself, but for now the most important thing was that his boundary power was insufficient.

  The energy of the boundary can be obtained 1 point corresponding to its own authority every day (whether in reality or other worlds), and Lin Xiao really doesn't know any other way.

  "The way to obtain 1st-level Small Boundary Power is relatively simple," Lin Xiang said: "You can pay attention to some things with historical value in reality, the longer the better. These things may contain some 1st-level Small Boundary Power, and you can absorb them to extract the boundary power. You can use detection techniques to detect whether these things contain boundary power."

  "Something of historical value?" Lin Xiao furrowed his brow, "Things like that are usually quite expensive, this is a bit tricky."

  "You'll have to think of a way yourself, otherwise you can just wait slowly, or you can waste an opportunity to shuttle and choose a world with lower energy to stay for a while, it's up to you."

  What Lin Xiang said is indeed a way, but opening up a low-energy world, Lin Xiao can't stay for too long. For example, the previous world consumed 50 points of first-level small thousand boundary power and could last for a whole year. If you choose a 25-point world, you can only stay for half a year. Although it seems like a gain, it's actually a waste of a shuttle opportunity in Lin Xiao's opinion. A 25-point small world, who knows what it looks like, whether there are humans or not is uncertain.

  After some deliberation, Lin Xiao gave up on the temptation, and besides, he hadn't even seen those things that might have contained powerful abilities yet, maybe they weren't very expensive anyway?

  "I'll leave first, maybe by the time I come back next time, there will already be a huge pile of boundary stones who knows." Lin Xiao bid farewell to Lin Xiang, and in the blink of an eye his figure disappeared into the Wan Jie system.

  Real world.

  Deserted construction site.

  In a corner of the wall, a speck of dust that was no different from other dust suddenly flashed with light, and then a figure appeared out of thin air.

  Lin Xiao rubbed the ring on his hand and clenched his fist, making a series of crisp "crackling" sounds.

  Satisfied with a smile, Lin Xiao was about to leave when his ears, which had become several times more sensitive, picked up a few low and desperate cries for help.

  "Someone!" Lin Xiao chose this place because it was quiet and deserted, even on a sunny day, there were hardly any people who would come here. In the past, during holidays, some children would still come to play, but after one of them was injured by a falling brick, no children came to play here again.

  I didn't expect there would still be people here at this time, and it sounds like they might not be normal.

  If it were in the past, when encountering such an obvious mismatch, Lin Xiao would still hesitate about whether to go over and take a look, but now...

  Lin Xiao clenched his fist, thought for a moment, and then took out a gun from the Multiverse System and tied it to his waist. This way, he would truly be absolutely safe.

  He cautiously walked past the sound of sobbing, and Lin Xiao soon discovered that the sound came from the second floor above.

  The construction site has been suspended for several months, and it is said that the developer has not negotiated with the higher-ups yet, anyway the government ordered them not to continue construction, so they have been suspended until now.

  The building had just been built a bit, and Lin Xiao went up the uneven rough stairs as quietly as possible, trying not to make any footsteps.

  Up the stairs to the second floor, here is piled up with all kinds of construction debris, plastic sheets blown by the wind 'rustling', but one end was pressed down by some heavy objects.

  Lin Xiao listened carefully again, his eyes following the wall on the left side and looking directly inside.

  "It should be right there."

  As he walked further in, he soon heard a clear voice speaking.

  That was the voice of three men, one of whom Lin Xiao was surprisingly quite familiar with.

  "Could it be... Zhou Wen?" Lin Xiao was a bit uncertain, he wasn't very familiar with Zhou Wen, they had only met a few times at school and he had heard some rumors about him.

  It is said that he has a rich mother, his father seems to be the deputy director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, and he is quite arrogant in school. He doesn't have much contact with good students like Lin Xiao.

  Hearing this voice that sounded like Zhou Wen's, Lin Xiao became even more curious - what were they doing?

  Within ten meters, Lin Xiao hid behind the wall and peeked inside. After seeing the situation clearly, he furrowed his brow deeply.

  "It's actually them!"

  In the line of sight, the suspected Zhou Wen's voice was indeed issued by Zhou Wen. There were three other people with him, one sitting on a pile of bricks, with his legs raised, and the other two standing beside him, while Zhou Wen stood in front of the three men.

  As for the sobbing sound Lin Xiao heard, it was made by two other people, who were Li Ran and Zhang Tao, both of whom Lin Xiao knew as his classmates.

  At this moment, the two were tied up with rough ropes and had towels stuffed in their mouths. They sat on the ground back to back, while Zhou Wen walked around them with a dagger, taunting and insulting them at will.
