Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Another day passed.

Due to the powerful and efficient logistics system of modern society, the large and small items that Kang De had ordered from Taobao had all arrived. Some were built on the spot, and the others were carefully packed.

All the fragments, finished products, and items were sent to the white fog world.

That was not only the place where resources and weapons were provided but also a natural storage transfer station.

Therefore, all the preparations were complete.

!!

He had bought the things he needed to buy, opened the map he needed to open, and obtained the weapons he wanted.

Without needing him to consider how to confess, the meticulous and intelligent Student Wang had already guessed the truth of his transmigration. This childhood sweetheart was really too smart sometimes.

He also called his parents one last time.

Old Wang also agreed to help cover it up.

There were some things that he had to ask Xiaoman to help pay attention to.

In other words, everything had been done.

It was time to go back.

“When I leave, I won’t greet you. I’ll sneak away.”

—Although the sound and light effect of transmigrating and leaving in front of you will definitely shock you.

“Get lost, get lost. Don’t greet me anymore, lest I feel uncomfortable… doing such a thing alone.”

—I don’t want to be targeted by the Main supreme-ruler because of this.

“Why? Do you want to go too? That won’t do, at least not now.”

—The other world is still too dangerous for you.

“I don’t want to go to such a dangerous place! Unless you protect me.”

—Who wants to be a Reincarnator? Unless… I have a Rank 4 expert to carry me! Give me supreme equipment to quickly earn points!

Previously, such a conversation had probably happened.

It was still the same conversation. They were on different channels, but they could communicate perfectly and understand each other’s meaning. They all knew each other’s intentions, and that was enough.

Another morning, after Xiaoman woke up, she realized something.

She got up, put on her clothes, and went out. She came to the door of Kang De’s house and knocked, but he did not answer.

She took the key and opened the door.

The entire house had already been cleaned up.

She bit her lip and went to the living room. There were three boxes on the table and a piece of paper.

“I’m leaving. Don’t worry, I’ll be back soon. There’s gold in the box on the left. You can deal with it yourself. Just treat it as payment.”

The girl opened the box. As expected, there was a huge piece of gold inside. It was neat and square. The gold circulating on Earth had its own marks, shapes, and records. Only the legendary Main supreme-ruler Space could exchange for such a square golden cube.

Xiaoman glanced at it and closed the box, not interested in its weight and value.

“In the middle box is a small gift for you. Don’t be too happy when you see it. There are actually many of those things. I’ll think of a way to get you anything you want in the future, but it’s best not to let others discover it…”

She opened the box and saw a watch at the top.

As a hardcore fan, she recognized this elementary school student’s anesthesia watch at a glance.

Her heart stirred. She picked up her watch and saw another card below.

“It’s real. It can be activated according to the operations in the comic. You didn’t expect it, right?! Are you very surprised? Can you guess how I made it? Hahahahahaha…”

This was what it said, and his smugness appeared on the paper.

“Idiot, you even went to the world of Conan?” Xiaoman muttered, “Don’t tell me you killed Conan? Or rather, coerced him to work for you?”

She turned the card around. There were also words on the back, “…Of course, this is the same as the original. You can only shoot once at a time. What’s more awkward is that there’s no ammunition, so I can only make a few more so that you can defend yourself when necessary—although I hope this moment will never come.”

There were indeed two more in the box.

“…Tsk.”

Xiaoman said disdainfully, “So you got it from the exchange list. Seriously…”

There were also some jewelry, a short sword, and a few bottles of liquid in the box. Every one of them had a special instruction manual. Old Wang looked at them a few times and did not see the “plot item” she was familiar with, so she temporarily closed the box.

“Don’t open the third box. Wait for a long time before I return. When I can’t hide it from my parents anymore, I’ll open it. Everything is inside.”

This piece of paper turned into a ball in the girl’s hand.

“Idiot, idiot.”

Her eyes were red as she cursed softly, “Why were you so curious? Couldn’t you just refuse to go in the first place…”

The girl walked to the bedroom step by step and opened the door. The bed was clean and the air was fresh.

He was no longer around.

Her childhood friend had already gone to another world.

“…That was close.”

In the white fog world, Kang De sat up from the bed and wiped the sweat on his head.

“I almost didn’t finish sweeping the ground and almost bumped into Old Wang…”

He sat on the bed and was silent for a moment. He slowly exhaled and patted his cheek.

“Alright, alright, cheer up.”

“It’s time to set off.”

“It’s time to go back.”

He muttered to himself.

This decision was actually not so easy to make.

He had once thought that he had lost everything, but in the end, he obtained it again. In just a few days at home, he had to return to the other world and start a new journey… Only he knew how unwilling he was to part with it.

“I’m sorry, Xiaoman. If I don’t go back and don’t do these things, my mind won’t be able to calm down for the rest of my life… I’ll feel guilty.”

“Therefore, I’ll leave first.”

He stood up and changed into the Templar armor he had moved over yesterday. It was a sword, cloak, secondary weapon, and secret compartment. This set of protective equipment was exquisite. From beauty to practicality, it was the best choice.

Then, he came to the balcony and descended.

He arrived at the civilization tombstone.

—No, that was no longer a tombstone. The white fog world had reset everything. Apart from the magic items from the other world, the tombstone that Kang De had engraved back then had already disappeared. The beautiful Song poem had returned. Only the knight’s sword was still inserted there, waiting for Kang De.

“Sorry to keep you waiting.”

Kang De picked up the knight’s sword and placed it on the sword slot behind him.

The Greatsword of the Deathchaser hung at his waist.

The Earthling put on the Unicorn Helmet.

He was prepared to return to the other world in this manner.

Although he had already prepared and enchanted a Hummer and could directly drive out, the Glory Sand Manor had already been razed to the ground. Time passed and the news spread. At this moment, the Glory Sand Manor had most likely gathered the spies of the surrounding factions. At that time, the townspeople had fled in all directions. The terrifying legend of the Cathayan Devil would definitely circle the surrounding five kilometers like an owl and cure the cries of children at night.

Under such circumstances, if he drove an enchanted and modified Hummer all the way, it would be too eye-catching, too ostentatious, and too arrogant. It was simply equivalent to having fun with a red name.

As for the knight who was dressed so honestly, reliably, and covered in holy light, the most important thing was that he was wearing a full helmet and could not see his face. It was undoubtedly much safer, and he could even inquire about information.

Therefore, let’s do this.

He flicked the hilt of the sword behind him. “We’re going.”

The halo shattered and the spatial door opened. Kang De stepped into the other world.

The world overturned and the world changed color as if it had crossed an endless distance.

Until he stepped on solid ground, Kang De focused his gaze on his surroundings. Very good. There was no camp or new viscount sent by the Empire. He was not surrounded by a group of otherworlders. Very good.

This was undoubtedly the Glory Sand Manor.

The ruins.

The ground under his feet was still charred black and had yet to recover its vitality. The raging flames that night destroyed everything. Everyone, all the wealth, all the dreams, and all the delusions.

Kang De sighed silently.

This was a place he would never forget.

Everything that happened that day was unforgettable.

A night of despair, madness, and growth.

He had lost a lot here, a lot.

“…The corpses are all gone.”

It was very normal. It did not matter if it was restrained.

Just as he had said when he left, he was already even with the Goode family.

He shook his head and turned to leave, preparing to ask someone about the situation.

At this moment, there was a sound from behind. He pressed his sword and turned around. More than ten people walked over from the road. There were men and women with different weapons. They looked like a mercenary team.

When they saw Kang De, they were shocked and instinctively raised their weapons. However, when they saw his cold and righteous outfit, they heaved a sigh of relief.

The leader was a burly man with a heavy sword on his back. He immediately raised his hand to stop his companion, then took a few steps forward bare-handed and shouted, “I don’t mean to offend you, honorable knight. My name is Weir. May I ask why you’re here? Is there anything we can help with?”

Kang De replied, “I heard that the Glory Sand Viscounty was destroyed by a terrifying force, so I rushed over to investigate and see if I could find any traces of evil. Who are you?”

Weir said heartily, “We humble mercenaries also earn a living for our remuneration. Our employer ordered us to pay attention to the news of Glory Sand, so we’ll guard here. Now that the contract period has arrived, we can set off home. We tidied up the tent yesterday and came to check last today.”

Kang De glanced at the two large cars they were driving and nodded. “Then, goodbye.”

The mercenary leader said, “Where are you going, Sir Knight? If you don’t mind, we can send you all the way in exchange for your protection. This won’t violate your commands.”

Kang De glanced at him and shook his head. “Forget it, it’s not on the way.”

Weir said sincerely, “Knight, since you’re searching for evil, although we’re weak and can’t help, we can provide what we’ve seen and heard these days for free. Please allow us.”

Kang De sighed silently.

Then, he strode towards the other party.

Weir bowed respectfully to welcome him. When he approached, he said humbly, “A lot of strange things have happened in the past few days. I can’t finish them in a short period of time. Please be patient. Firstly, we have to start with the Cathayan demon who destroyed Glory Sand and is called the clown. Legend has it that he…”

At this moment, Weir revealed a horrified expression.

He looked behind Kang De and said in horror, “Clown!”

Kang De suddenly turned around, but in the next moment, a dark light appeared in Weir’s eyes. A shadow rose with a bang and enveloped Kang De’s helmet. He threw a punch, and his combat aura surged. He shouted, “Attack!”

Kang De raised his arms to block and was sent staggering back by a punch. In the next moment, four hooked claws had already grabbed his hands and feet. A strange figure flashed over and gently took off the Greatsword of the Deathchaser at his waist. Then, he floated back, his eyes revealing pride and mockery.

At the same time, Weir, who had pulled out his sword, rushed forward excitedly and roared, “I know this armor! It was auctioned off by Viscount Samuel! In other words, he’s that clown! Take him down! Seize the treasure of the Goode family and take him to collect the bounty. We’ll earn double!”

As soon as these words were spoken, his companions, who had followed suit but were a little confused, were enlightened. All of them revealed excited expressions, especially that thief.

He hugged the large sword in his hand and was even a little regretful. He was so weak, so why didn’t he take the opportunity to stab him back then? Perhaps the greatest credit would be his!

However, immediately after, the thief felt a chill run down his spine.

He was shocked to discover that as he dodged and retreated, the Cathayan was actually turning to look at him. He could even see the cold gaze behind the gap in the armor.

However… he had clearly been hit by the captain’s visual obstruction spell. How could…

In the next moment, the thief revealed an incredulous gaze.

The hook that hooked the other party’s limbs collapsed and disappeared… Yes, it disappeared into thin air.

He saw the Cathayan who had recovered his mobility take out something from his back and aim it at him from afar. That thing was very strange. There was a very round black hole in the middle…

Bang.

In a deafening explosion, the head of the bandit, who was still running and looking puzzled, suddenly exploded. Crimson flames burned his brain and splashed everywhere. The corpse was still running until it fell to the ground.

Weir was first shocked, then he did not panic in the face of danger and shouted, “He’s only one person! Continue! He can’t use this spell many times. Hold him back and don’t let him get the sword!”

Kang De put away his pistol and suddenly raised his cloak. He pulled out two fire axes from behind him and injected his battle aura. Elements circulated. Apart from sharpness and flame, there were also new supreme runes. The two axes shone brightly, and a dense light gathered into a vortex. It was shocking as he suddenly attacked!

The two flying axes slashed at Weir, who was brandishing his sword. The other party was shocked. He raised his battle aura and blocked with his sword, but an earth-shattering terrifying force pressed over. With two slashes, he was sent flying and knocked back!

He spat out a mouthful of blood and blacked out.

With the enhancement of battle aura, Kang De strode forward and rushed into the enemy formation.

Amidst the enemy’s heavy encirclement, he raised two pistols.

When Weir woke up in a daze again, he heard his companion’s scream before he died.

There was also someone muttering.

“Therefore, I said the people from the alternate world are stupid.”

“I clearly didn’t want to kill anyone today. After all, it’s the first day. I should restrain myself.”

“I wanted to let you off.”

“You still had to rush up to tempt fate.”

“However, it reminded me that there’s a problem with this armor. I have to deal with it.”

Weir slowly opened his eyes and saw his teammates lying on the ground. Some were already dead, and some were still struggling in pain. As for the Cathayan, the guy dressed as a knight, he held his sword and stabbed them one by one, dead or alive, male or female, whether they begged.

“But speaking of which, I kind of like your world.”

“Human relationships are simpler, and human hearts are simpler. Whatever you want to do is written on your face. If you want to fight, you fight. If you want to die, you die. How satisfying. There are many ways to resolve problems, but everyone likes the most efficient one… Of course, I like it very much.”

Weir saw the Cathayan. After stabbing the last survivor, he flicked the hilt of the sword behind him. He seemed to be talking to an invisible ghost.

“I still have to face the unknown future alone this time. However, I’m not afraid or hesitant. I still have to thank you for helping me turn on such a mental state… This is the reason why I brought you along. You reminded me of the price I paid for being naive and gullible. Therefore, I won’t make any mistakes again. I won’t believe easily, nor will I underestimate you.”

“After all, only a fool would underestimate the enemy.”

“Right?”

Kang De came to Weir, who was pretending to be unconscious.

“Mr. Weir, thank you for the warm-up battle. I’ve already adapted and am prepared to integrate into your primitive, crude, and sinister game.”

He smiled gently.

“Now, it’s your turn.”

The cunning mercenary leader could no longer suppress the fear in his heart.

He opened his eyes as he wailed and begged loudly…
