Chapter 6: Recklessness (Part 2)

Li Ran pondered for a moment before saying, “There really aren’t many such experts, but there’s another factor… This world is enormous, with experts emerging constantly. We can’t be careless. Well, we should find an opportunity to leave here.”
Guo Shier asked, “What do you mean, big brother… you want to fight those experts here first?”
Qi Wuzhen immediately replied, “I have no objections. Fighting them is fine too. It’s rare to encounter true experts. Hehe, since people from the United Spirit Kingdom have come to us, it’s a good chance to test our current strength and see how far we fall short compared to the people here… Of course, it’s also possible they’re far worse than us.”
Guo Shier laughed, “Sister Zhen is so violent!”
Qi Wuzhen glared and said, “What did you say?”
Guo Shier instinctively stepped back. To be honest, aside from Li Ran, none of the people here were unafraid of her. Even a wooden man like Kumu feared her deeply. He said with a smile, “I meant… Sister Zhen… she’s so mighty! Hehe, hehehe!”
Sericeline burst into laughter. She admired Qi Wuzhen’s dominance and said, “Yes, Sister Zhen is mighty!”
Qi Wuzhen smiled and said, “That’s better.”
Kumu said, “Waiting like this makes us too passive. We need to take the initiative.”
Li Ran nodded. “Of course. Where to fight should be decided by us. Why let them chase us? The initiative is in our hands.”
Guo Shier asked, “If we set the battlefield, should it be in space or on the ground?”
Li Ran and Qi Wuzhen replied in unison, “On the ground!”
Guo Shier immediately understood. On the ground, unlike in space where there are no obstacles, there are many things available, giving everyone more room to showcase their skills. He said, “In that case, we don’t need to leave Liewen Star for now.”
Li Ran nodded. “Since that’s the case, we shouldn’t be polite. Let’s grab some stuff back. I wonder how much Spirit Jade and Blue Crystal there is here, hehe.”
Qi Wuzhen laughed, “This is an administrative planet, right? There probably won’t be too much of these things.”

Guo Shier was most interested in robbery. He said, “This is a gathering place for wealthy officials, with all kinds of entertainment facilities. I think… there must be plenty of good things here. There might not be much spiritual jade, but there should be plenty of blue crystals. As for other things, just rob them if you like.” He said it as if it were perfectly normal. In the world of spells, he loved robbery—it was the fastest way to gather supplies and materials.

No one felt any pity for the United Spiritual Kingdom. Robbery was almost routine for them. Since they were enemies, there was no need to hesitate at all. Kuumu said, “Okay, I have no objections.”

Sericeline was even more excited. She was very interested in such thrilling activities and said eagerly, “Where shall we go to rob?” Her tone was like that of someone extremely hungry, eager to go to a restaurant for delicious food, full of longing.

Guo Shier said, “First, we need to find a map of Liewen Star.”

Li Ran said, “That’s easy. Just go and steal one, hehe.” Anyway, he wouldn’t buy one. Even if he wanted to, no one would sell it to him. Their appearance was too different from that of the locals, and they didn’t want to change their outfits either, as they simply didn’t care.

Guo Shier asked, “Brother Li Ran, do you know where to steal one?” Maps were special items not available everywhere. They were too unfamiliar with this world and could only rely on Li Ran.

Li Ran laughed and said, “I know a place. Hehe, who will go with me to rob?”

Guo Shier immediately raised his hand and said, “I!”

Qi Wuzhen said, “I’ll go too.”

No one wanted to stay behind. Everyone wanted to go out and rob, mainly to see the people and things in this world. They were filled with curiosity. The people here looked similar to them, with light brown skin, some a bit fairer—nothing special.

Sometimes, Guo Shier would have a strange feeling. He felt as if he had returned to Earth, but the technology here was far more advanced, incomparable to Earth’s. The gap was enormous.

Li Ran laughed and said, “In that case, let’s start robbing from this city!”

Everyone happily followed Li Ran out.

They strode confidently down the streets. It was then they realized the entire city was in chaos. Many people were running around, carrying various items. They also saw many people fighting, armed with weapons, attacking each other. There were many dead bodies on the streets, clearly killed in recent days. Countless cars had been crashed and set on fire.

Li Ran and the others hadn’t gone far when they were hit by various attacks. Although such attacks posed no real threat to them, they angered Ku Mu and Wang Dayang, who unfortunately took several hits. Ku Mu didn’t say a word; he simply raised his hand and swung a palm strike, collapsing a small building and burying those attacking him inside. Wang Dayang was even more direct—he sent out a beam of light that instantly severed several people in half.

Guo Shier ignored them and asked, “Elder brother, where should we go?”

Li Ran replied, “Just capture someone and ask them.” With that, a purple chain flew out, pulling down a muscular man armed with a weapon through a window and throwing him hard onto the street. Li Ran walked over and asked earnestly, “Where… where can I buy a map here?”

The man was thrown to the ground and couldn’t speak for a while—the blow had taken half his life force. Li Ran regretted it, saying, “I forgot. Ordinary people don’t have such strong bodies. Um… I need to be gentler next time. Hey!” He kicked the man and ordered, “Speak up!”

Guo Shier laughed, “Elder brother, he’s spitting blood. How can you expect him to speak?”

Li Ran took a closer look and saw that the man had indeed lost half his life force. Sighing, he said, “So weak. I can’t believe he’s from a Level 7 Star Nation. Terrible.”

At that moment, Ku Mu tied up another person and threw them in front of them. Guo Shier shot out a purple chain to catch the person and said, “Master, be gentle. You almost killed another one.”

Ku Mu shook his head slightly. He agreed with Li Ran—the people here were too weak, even weaker than ordinary people in the Spellcraft World. But Guo Shier thought it was okay; at least the people here had much stronger physiques than humans on Earth.

It was a young man with a terrified expression on his face. Guo Shier asked, “Where can I find a map of Liewen Star?”

The young man trembled in fear and stammered, “M-map… what… what is a map?”

Li Ran said a word that no one else understood, but the young man did. He pointed at a large building in the distance and said, “Over there… it’s there! There must be one there!”

Guo Shier asked curiously, “What’s that place?”

The young man replied, “It’s the city management agency. They have the best… the best… maps…” Now he understood what a map was.

Guo Shier casually retracted the purple chain and said, “Let’s go.” The group immediately disappeared from the young man’s sight. The young man breathed a sigh of relief, feeling drenched all over. Then he saw a puddle on the ground and, ashamed, turned around and ran away. How embarrassing—in his panic, he had wet himself.

Li Ran and the others appeared beside the building, not on the ground but in the air above its exterior wall. Wang Dayang smashed a piece of the wall with a slap, allowing them to enter the building.

There was no one inside; they must have all fled. Guo Shier said, “No one…” He used his soul detection skill and smiled, “There are people on the ground floor, but none above…”

Li Ran said, “There are people downstairs. Heh, let’s go down.” Too lazy to look for stairs or other passages, he pierced downward with his sword, creating a direct path through the building, then jumped down. The others followed closely.

The seven of them crashed onto the first floor of the building, creating seven deep pits. There were still many people on the first floor, including several armed guards. As for the officials, they had long vanished.

When those people saw the seven of them falling from the sky, they were all stunned—this was too absurd. But soon the guards reacted, shouting, “Enemy attack!”

Chaos ensued. A few reckless guards tried to attack, only to be slammed against the wall by Wang Dayang, their bodies sinking deep into the metal wall, turning into bloody wall hangings. Guo Shier shouted, “Whoever moves dies!” The people froze in place, none daring to move again. This man was ruthless—he had killed three people with a single slap and embedded them in the metal wall. What kind of strength was that? It was unbelievable.

Li Ran calmly said, “I want a map of Liwen Star.”

The people stared at him in confusion, not understanding what he meant. Realizing this, Li Ran cursed inwardly and uttered a word. The people immediately looked enlightened. One of them mustered the courage to say, “Yes… yes, I can get it. Please… please spare us…”

Guo Shier said, “No problem. Just give us the map, and we’ll let you go.”

The man, as if pardoned, said, “I’ll get it right away!”

Ceciline said, “I’m coming with you. Kid, don’t play tricks, or I’ll take your life.”

The man repeated, “No, no, I’ll just get it!” He rushed quickly to a nearby room. Ceciline followed him.

A moment later, the man came over with a not-too-large box and said, “This is it…” Li Ran took it, glanced at it briefly, and smiled, saying, “That’s right. Alright, you can leave now.” The men immediately ran outside; none dared stay. These people were too terrifying—probably the extremely dangerous individuals mentioned earlier. Guo Shier said, “This thing is pretty much like that star map device.” Li Ran replied, “It’s the same—three-dimensional display. Hehe, it can clearly show the state of the entire planet.” Guo Shier said, “Open it and take a look. Hehe, I’m very curious.”
