"After each level's final boss battle, each component of the set indeed appears, but the condition is that all ten difficulties of each level must be successfully completed. If there's even one failure, that component will disappear, and the set will no longer be complete. The set consists of a total of eight pieces. The Swift Set is just the lowest-level set, which appears after successfully completing the ten difficulties of levels 20 to 29. This is also the easiest set to obtain. If the host cannot obtain the Swift Set, obtaining the subsequent sets will be even more difficult."
Hovering in the air, Dragonfly explained to Li Nianlong the way the set appears and its difficulty. After listening, Li Nianlong's heart shuddered. Just the simplest level 20 set component almost cost him his life. Gathering the remaining components would be as difficult as reaching the sky.
With this in mind, Li Nianlong became even more cautious in the training ground. One failure would result in the loss of a set component. He absolutely could not allow such a situation to occur.
Exiting the space, Li Nianlong stuffed all ten experience pills into his mouth. With a whopping one hundred thousand experience points, Li Nianlong's whole body shimmered with golden light, instantly reaching level 28, getting closer and closer to the level 30 goal.
As the time approached dawn, the night sky was covered with dark clouds, the perfect time for hunting.
Li Nianlong changed into his night clothes, put on the tiger mask, and swiftly left the villa area.
For the past few days, Li Nianlong had been investigating the members of the Qing Shan Gang. Although there were many gangs in Tianfu, only a few had members involved in illicit activities. A gang with a hundred or so members could be considered a medium-sized gang. Unfortunately, most of the gangs Li Nianlong had encountered before were small gangs with only twenty or thirty black members, limiting his experience points.
As for large gangs...
So far, Li Nianlong had only encountered one, with more than three hundred black members. That night, Li Nianlong was truly exhausted from the killings, but he also gained a considerable amount of experience points. Unfortunately, such situations only occurred once. After all, the management of large gangs was very strict. Once something went wrong, they would be alerted immediately, ready for timely rescue. Li Nianlong was also injured quite seriously that time. Fortunately, the potions in the store quickly restored him to normal. Otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Today, Li Nianlong still needed to investigate the situation of the Qing Shan Gang. However, when he approached the Qing Shan Gang, an ominous premonition made him stop in his tracks. His innate talent for avoiding disasters reminded him once again.
"These police officers are really annoying." In recent days, he had noticed the actions of the police every night. Of course, with his innate talent, those waiting-to-catch-rabbits police officers would return empty-handed every time. But these police officers were really persistent, fighting again and again, yet Li Nianlong even admired their leadership a bit. They were truly tenacious!
Tianfu was vast. Even if all the police forces in Tianfu were deployed, they couldn't cover everything. Relying on his innate talent for avoiding disasters, Li Nianlong could always find a breakthrough. Of course, he didn't know that every time his actions succeeded, Liu Bucong's face would become a bit uglier. In recent days, Liu Bucong's expression had become more and more like the legendary Bao Qingtian. Every police officer was afraid of him, fearing they might bring bad luck to Liu, and end up being assigned to remote towns.
With the Qing Shan Gang guarded by police, investigation was no longer possible. Li Nianlong tried to approach from other directions several times and finally found a breakthrough in the southwest direction, swiftly sneaking away.
The Black Rat Gang was the largest intelligence organization in Tianfu and had no sense of patriotism. Regardless of any force, domestic or foreign, as long as you could afford the price, they would sell intelligence to you.
In a hotel's business suite, two blond, blue-eyed, well-dressed foreigners and a young Chinese man in his thirties sat facing each other. The younger foreigner smiled slightly and spoke fluent Mandarin: "Mr. Zhao, I wonder what the price of this intelligence is?"
Mr. Zhao adjusted his glasses on the bridge of his nose and smiled faintly, "Mr. Stothert, I'm sorry to tell you that the value of this intelligence is not low."
Stothert waved his hand, "Mr. Zhao, there's no need for that. I'm not representing myself this time. As long as the price isn't too outrageous, I can assure you that my principal will agree."
Mr. Zhao smiled satisfactorily, "In that case, Mr. Stothert, as long as you pay a price of ten billion soft sister coins, you can obtain the exact intelligence."
"Ten billion?" Stothert's eyes flashed with displeasure, "Mr. Zhao, don't you think that price is too high? I just want to know the exact information about the murderer, not to purchase national intelligence."
"I'm sorry." Mr. Zhao stood up, straightened his suit collar, and smiled, "If Mr. Stothert cannot accept it, I think we have no need to continue this discussion. You know, I'm always very busy."
"OK, OK, dear Zhao, you win." Seeing that Mr. Zhao was really about to leave, Stothert showed a helpless expression, "Let me discuss it with my principal. Give me five minutes, OK?"
Mr. Zhao smiled slightly and sat back down.
Damn Chinese pig! Stothert cursed inwardly, then went to the next room to make a phone call.
In Manhattan, the United States, a silver-haired old man was enjoying a delightful lunch with his family when a phone call interrupted their harmony.
The butler brought the phone over, "Sir, it's a call from Stothert."
The silver-haired old man wiped his mouth and took the phone, "Stothert, you know I really hate being disturbed during meals with my family. If you don't want to spend the rest of your life cleaning toilets, you'd better give me some good news."
"Mr. Darley, I'm sorry to disturb your family lunch, and I'm even sorrier that the news I'm about to tell you may not make you very happy." Stothert smiled wryly, "I have to disturb you because this news is related to intelligence."
Stothert's words didn't change the expression on the silver-haired old man's face. He said calmly, "Does the other party not have intelligence?"
"No, the other party has intelligence, but the price of the intelligence is too high." Stothert asked, "I wonder if you're willing to pay ten billion soft sister coins?"
The exchange rate between the dollar and the soft sister coin was about 1:6.2, so ten billion soft sister coins would be over sixteen million dollars.
"Ten billion? That's interesting." The silver-haired old man smiled faintly, "Agree to it."
"Mr. Darley, are you serious?" Stothert was very surprised.
"Of course, but..." the silver-haired man's voice carried a hint of coldness, "after obtaining the goods, I want them to pay the price."
"OK, I understand." Stothert smiled slightly, "I will reply to them now, and I'll report back to you later."
"Thank you, if this matter succeeds, I think a managerial position would suit you well." The silver-haired man smiled.
"Oh, praise you, Mr. Darley. I hope you have a pleasant mood."
"You too, Stothert."
Hanging up the phone, Stothert walked out of the room and approached the Chinese man with a smile, "Dear Zhao, I think we can continue."
"Wise choice." The Chinese man smiled faintly and handed over a piece of paper, "Here is our account number."
"OK, OK, you really don't want to lose out." Stothert helplessly transferred ten billion soft sister coins to the account. The Chinese man quickly received a text message confirming the payment. With a slight smile, he took out a USB drive from his pocket, "Mr. Stothert, this is the intelligence you need. I hope you'll be satisfied."
"Zhao, you're really cunning. If I had known the intelligence was on you, I should have just shot you and taken the information, then I could have saved ten billion soft sister coins." Stothert took the USB drive, half-jokingly.
The Chinese man shrugged, "Sorry, the USB drive has a retina recognition system. If my retina is not scanned before connecting to an electronic device, the contents of the drive will be automatically destroyed."
"Fine! You win." Stothert reluctantly returned the USB drive to the Chinese man. The Chinese man scanned his retina with the hidden scanning system on one side of the USB drive. With a soft beep, the Chinese man smiled slightly, handing the USB drive back to Stothert, standing up to shake hands with him, "Mr. Stothert, a pleasant cooperation."
"Damn it, I never want to cooperate with you, vampire."
"Unless Mr. Stothert never returns to Tianfu." The Chinese man smiled smugly.
After seeing off the Chinese man, Stothert connected the USB drive to his phone, and the intelligence content immediately appeared.
"The killer's methods are very much in line with Kung Fu Panda..."
