Chapter 233: Chapter 166: Reunion, Yan Lang

Looking at the prompt from the chip, Zhuo Xiu felt a chill in her heart, leapt off the counter, and took several steps back.The strength comparable to a first-generation evolver, meant that this seemingly harmless boy could tear apart tigers and split bears with his bare hands, no less formidable than some of the top predators on wild planets.

What was more crucial was the danger rating, A level.

The degree of danger was not directly related to strength; some herbivores, though large, were gentle and not very dangerous.

The higher the danger level rating, the more severe the target's propensity for violent crime, a judgment made by the chip based on the frequency of the target's brain waves, which was extremely precise.

When preparing for criminal activities, the state of brain waves is highly abnormal; at A level, there was a risk of violence breaking out at any moment.

For a moment, Zhuo Xiu's heart pounded; she was not too worried about her own safety.

She had once taken tourists to watch ancient battlefields firsthand, and as a second-generation gene evolver, she had also gone through real war trials and participated in interstellar wars.

While her experience in life-and-death fights was not extensive, with her strength surpassing Chu Zheng, she should have a good chance of subduing him.

The key issue was that the few travelers behind her were not evolvers but ordinary people. Even though their physical fitness was much higher than the natives of Dongan Star, it was still difficult for them to compare with transcendent beings.

In other words, it was easy for them to die.

Moreover, if any one of them were injured, it would affect her future career.

Chu Zheng sensed Zhuo Xiu's nervousness, glanced at the few travelers behind her, and quickly understood, patiently repeating the question he had just posed,

"What would you like to buy?"

Not wanting to provoke Chu Zheng, Zhuo Xiu's eyes shifted slightly, a flash of inspiration struck her mind, and she thought of the ring on the counter and immediately asked,

"That ring, how much silver?"

Hearing this, Chu Zheng looked down at You Dawu, who had already breathed his last, and said softly,

"This item is a dead pawn, priced at fifty pieces of patterned silver. If the guest likes it, you may purchase it."

"I'll buy it."

Zhuo Xiu did not waste words with Chu Zheng, reached into her sleeve, pulled out a silver ingot, placed it in front of Chu Zheng, picked up the ring, and turned to leave.

"Wait a moment, guest."

Chu Zheng's voice came from behind her; Zhuo Xiu's mind tensed, and she suddenly turned around, her eyes full of vigilance.

"You forgot to take the receipt." Searᴄh the Novёlƒire.n(e)t website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Chu Zheng bowed his head, penned the receipt quickly, and stamped it with the seal of Fu Kang Pawnshop.

There are rules to follow in business.

Zhuo Xiu took the receipt, looking back with every step, leading the few travelers out of the pawnshop.

Only after leaving the pawnshop did Zhuo Xiu finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is that child really that dangerous?"

"Miss Zhuo, aren't you a bit too nervous?"

Once outside the pawnshop, the travelers all wore faces of disbelief; they had not seen the corpse at Chu Zheng's feet.

If not for the few words Zhuo Xiu reminded them through the chip, they would have already started asking questions inside the pawnshop.

"His aggressiveness is comparable to some ancient large carnivores, a top terrestrial predator."

Zhuo Xiu's expression was very serious, warning them with a hint of caution,

"I am considering everyone's safety. The natives here are very dangerous for you, and I hope you also take your safety seriously."

The travelers didn't seem to care much, merely nodding nonchalantly.

In response, Zhuo Xiu felt a wave of helplessness.

Living in a peaceful environment for a long time, people's guard tends to unconsciously lower. Nowadays, most citizens in the Tianyao Federation lack a sense of crisis.

These people living in the Ancient Dynasty are actually quite dangerous, not only in terms of power but more so psychologically.

In past interstellar wars, she had seen many evolvers stronger than her perish due to their carelessness.

One must always be very cautious of uneducated, lawless mobs.

However, speaking of this to the travelers now was merely a waste of effort; years of habits cannot be changed overnight.

After all, it was just a seven-day trip that passed in the blink of an eye.

Zhuo Xiu turned to look back at the pawnshop and felt an urge to visit the Government Office in Yuncao City to ask the locals to deal with the dangerous element in the pawnshop.

But after hesitating for a while, she gave up on the idea.

She was a guide; her main aim was to lead the travelers through their sightseeing trip. Getting involved in the troubles among these natives was just a waste of time.

Moreover, it was just a native who had died, worthless.

...

...

Inside the pawnshop.

As he watched Zhuo Xiu and the others leave, Chu Zheng looked down at the hefty silver ingot, deep in thought.

The way Zhuo Xiu handled the silver earlier was very casual, and he noticed some clues similar to a storage space technique.

According to the information previously provided by the panel, Zhuo Xiu was a second-generation gene evolver of the Tianyao Federation, her strength already at the first order, equivalent to a cultivator of the Spirit Spring Realm.

This was merely a guide; judging from the combat sequence of a civilization, a guide is by no means a combatant.

The reliance of the Tianyao Federation was probably not just the cosmic warships he saw in the stars; the creatures therein might follow a different path of life evolution.

This point could be of some reference value for his cultivation path.

The wisdom of old, using other mountains' stones to polish jade, is indeed worth leveraging.
