God-Like Extraction

Chapter 150: Someone Wants To Harm Me!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Huh?

Everyone present was stunned when they heard this.

This vice-captain was not referring to the smaller teams, but the entire teams.

Su Jingxing’s capabilities were enough for him to take on the role.

However, taking on three roles at a time had never happened before.

Of course, everyone present could more or less see through Wu Shouhan’s thoughts.

Show sincerity in recruiting the talented!

Su Jingxing was not even 16 years old and was already at the peak of the ninth-grade.

Before the age of 20, he would definitely be able to advance to eighth, or even seventh-grade.

And before the age of 30, he had a 90% chance of reaching the sixth grade.

Once Su Jingxing advanced to the sixth-grade, with him being an employee of the crematorium, Wu Shouhan would have great credit.

Even the crematorium staff would benefit.

This was also the reason why no one objected to Wu Shouhan promoting Su Jingxing to be the vice-captain of the security team.

Once Su Jingxing advanced to the sixth-grade, everyone would benefit.

However, making him the vice-captain of all three teams at the same time. Was that too much?

Even Su Jingxing was stunned by Wu Shouhan’s offer.

His excuse was that he liked to go out on outdoor tasks. But it was because going out was his only chance to encounter things.

For example, the Corpse Puppet that Mei Jinju turned into, several branches of the Black Tiger Gang being destroyed, and the mutated earthworm in the power plant this time.

He would not be able to encounter these happenings at all if he were to stay in the crematorium all day.

Only by going out would he have a chance of doing so.

For this reason, Su Jingxing tried to see if he could take on part-time duties. He didn’t expect Wu Shouhan to be so supportive, directly offering him the position of vice-captain of three teams.

Is he afraid that I will run away, or is he trying to ruin me with flattery?

At this thought, Su Jingxing coughed lightly and said in rejection, “Thank you, Director…”

“Look at you, you’re still calling me Director. Call me Uncle Wu!” Wu Shouhan interrupted.

“…Uncle Wu.” Su Jingxing grinned. “Thank you for your high regard, Uncle Wu, but to be the vice-captain of three teams at the same time, I’m afraid that I don’t have enough time and can’t handle so many things. Being vice-captain of the security team and doing part-time duties as a corpse collector is enough.”

Wu Shouhan fell silent. After a moment, he said, “You’re right. I didn’t consider everything thoroughly. It’s not worth it to take up time you could use to practice martial arts for other things.”

“No…”

“You don’t have to say anything, I understand.” Wu Shouhan reached out to interrupt him. “I understand, really. Compared to practicing martial arts, everything else is trivial.”

Su Jingxing was speechless.

Fine. Whatever you say, old man. It saves me the trouble of finding excuses.

“That’s it then. We’ll do as you say. You’ll be vice-captain of the security team with part-time corpse collecting duties. If you run into any problems, you don’t need to apply for leave. You can just go and let me know when you’re back.” Wu Shouhan said with big smiles.

“Thank you, Uncle Wu.” Su Jingxing hurriedly thanked him.

He could confirm now, Wu Shouhan wasn’t trying to ruin him with praises. Instead, he was trying to bind him to the crematorium.

If it were anyone else, there was a 90% chance that they would quit and leave the crematorium if they could become an eighth-grade martial artist in a few months time.

Currently, all the martial arts workers in the crematorium had no talent and relied on hard work to get where they were.

The person with the highest realm was Wu Shouhan, eighth-grade.

With the talented ones, for the sake of their future, who would stay at the crematorium?

In the eyes of others, Su Jingxing was a pretty talented person.

In order to keep Su Jingxing, Wu Shouhan naturally offered generous conditions.

The vice-captain of the security team and part-time corpse moving duties were all trivial matters.

The real benefit was that he did not need to apply for leave!

If it weren’t for the fact that the crematorium was a government institution, Wu Shouhan would have told Su Jingxing directly that he didn’t even need to come to work. He just needed Su Jingxing’s name in the crematorium.

Su Jingxing caught this hidden hint.

Many of the people present did too.

Although they were envious, no one objected.

As always, as long as Su Jingxing remained a part of the crematorium, everyone would benefit.

Because of this, everyone tacitly acknowledged Su Jingxing’s upcoming post.

If you want to go to work, then come. If you don’t want to, then don’t!

…

This matter was settled.

The office had a cheerful atmosphere, everyone in the office congratulated Su Jingxing.

Su Jingxing cooperated and invited everyone to a hotel in the Western District for dinner.

Everyone agreed readily. Seeing that it was about time, they immediately set off.

Su Jingxing had also informed the ones staying behind that he would take away their share and bring them to the canteen.

He could spend the money for this dinner without any worries.

On the way.

Su Jingxing found a chance to ask Feng Tiejian what was going on with him over the past few days. His mind had been wandering.

Feng Tiejian was beaten up by the young man because he was distracted while moving the corpse and accidentally dropped the corpse on the ground.

He had been in this state for almost two days.

Su Jingxing didn’t want to interfere at first, but thanks to him, he completed the job change, so he decided to check in curiously.

And…

“I think someone wants to harm me.”

Feng Tiejian’s face was swollen like a pig’s head. With a terrified expression, he said blankly, “I realized that there have been people following me every day over the past few days. They wanted to harm me!”

“Um…”

The corners of Su Jingxing’s eyes twitched.

He had never expected this answer.

Someone wants to harm Feng Tiejian?

Feng Tiejian is just an ordinary official employee of the crematorium. Although he likes to eat, drink, and play, he has never made enemies with others. On the contrary, he has a carefree personality and has many friends.

Now all of a sudden, someone has appeared and stalked him, wanting to do harm to him…

Is Feng Tiejian delusional?

Here, Su Jingxing coughed lightly and said, “Maybe you’ve been overworked these few days and started hallucinating. I suggest you take a few days off to rest.”

“No, I’m not lying to you, really!”

Feng Tiejian was a little agitated. “There are really people following me. There are a total of three of them! They think that I don’t know. Every once in a while, they will switch. Hmph, I discovered this long ago. They want to harm me. I won’t let them succeed. Isn’t it just hiding in the crematorium? It’s fine. I won’t leave from today onward. If they have the guts, they can come into the crematorium!”

“…That works too.”

Su Jingxing couldn’t think of any better words to comfort him, so he nodded in agreement.

If someone wants to harm him, he can just hide in the crematorium?

Dream on!

Looking at Feng Tiejian’s condition, he had most likely been triggered by something. He had become a little crazy.

Su Jingxing was not his father, he could not care so much.

…

After dinner.

Su Jingxing had officially taken up his new post and was now the vice-captain of the security team. He no longer needed to work with Kong Dabao and to monotonously move corpses.

Su Jingxing had a new uniform and his own small office. Occasionally, he would go out and patrol the area.

The crematorium staff he met along the way all congratulated and greeted him. Su Jingxing also nodded in response.

When they greeted him, a word would be tagged with “Little Su”——captain.

Together, “Captain Little Su” was everyone’s new nickname for Su Jingxing.

Of course, there were people who were envious and jealous, but no one dared to speak sarcastically to his face.

It was still the same explanation. Su Jingxing was a martial artist. A martial artist who was almost in the eighth-grade before he was even 16 years old.

His status and identity were already different from ordinary people.

Whether they were envious or jealous, they only dared to discuss it in private.

No one would be so bold as to speak to his face.

Su Jingxing was mentally prepared for this.

He automatically ignored these discussions and spent most of his time in the small office, cultivating a few secret abilities.

Ten o’clock at night, he would knock off and go home.

The transaction was set to be at 11:30 pm.

Su Jingxing immediately prepared the Great Yu dollars and transferred them to Shen Qian in advance so that she could be prepared.

Regardless of whether the Energy Gathering Stones in the other party hands were genuine or not,

there was no harm in making preparations.

Of course, if they were discovered to be fake and the other party even has thoughts that they shouldn’t have, Su Jingxing didn’t mind teaching them a lesson.

Thus…

He stayed in the small courtyard at the foot of the mountain until past eleven o’clock. It was almost time.

Su Jingxing took out his cloak and mask and put them on. He came to the courtyard and soared into the sky.

He flew through the air toward the trading location.

At the South Bank Bridge of the Western District.

At this time, the bridge above the Sky Water River in the Western District was empty.

Only the occasional car whizzed past and disappeared around the corner.

When Su Jingxing arrived, it was five minutes before the transaction time.

Three people were already standing on the bridge.

His Night Vision and Distant Vision were activated at the same time. Su Jingxing looked into the distance and realized that the three of them seemed rather imposing. They seemed like desperados.

Su Jingxing was not afraid at all. He quietly landed under a tree less than ten meters away from the bridge.

Then, he slowly walked towards the three of them.

His secret ability, Advanced Hearing, was activated once again and he listened to the conversation between the three people.

“How is it? Is he here yet?”

“Not yet.”

“Speaking of which, this mysterious big client isn’t bluffing, is he? 5 million per kilogram? Is he really offering such a high price?”

“Whether it’s true or not, we’ll know later.”

“I’m just afraid…”

“You have Energy Gathering Stones in your hands?” Su Jingxing’s voice sounded, interrupting their discussion.

Whoa!

“You scared me.” The bald man among the three jumped back when he heard the voice. Then, he touched his head and looked at Su Jingxing with a glimmer in his eyes.

“Cough cough.”

Another middle-aged man with a beard was also startled. However, he quickly calmed down and looked at Su Jingxing. He probed, “May I ask if you are the person buying the Energy Gathering Stones?”

“Yes.”

Su Jingxing lowered his voice and said in a deep voice, “Where’s the Energy Gathering Stones? Bring them out for me to examine. If they’re real, I will make payment immediately.”

The three of them fell silent.

They exchanged glances.

After a while, the middle-aged man with a beard said, “It’s like this. For safety reasons, we only brought one stone…”

“I understand.” Su Jingxing interrupted and said quickly again, “Show me what you brought.”

“…Alright.”

The middle-aged man and the two others looked at one another and took out a small package. They opened it and handed it to Su Jingxing.

Swoosh!

Su Jingxing waved his hand and released his true energy to pull the energy stone towards him from a distance.

10 centimeters long, palm-sized.

After sensing carefully and confirming that it was real, Su Jingxing nodded and said, “I’ll give five million Great Yu dollars for this Energy Gathering Stone.”

“Sure, sure,” the middle-aged man replied hurriedly.

Seeing this, Su Jingxing took out his phone and dialed Shen Qian’s number.

After the call connected, he said “transfer five million” and hung up.

The middle-aged man and the bald man were excited when they heard that and waited expectantly.

Su Jingxing said nothing.

Five minutes later, the middle-aged man’s phone rang with a notification. He took it out to take a look, and tapped around. When he put it down, he could not hide the joy on his face. “I’ve received it. Five million!”

“Great!”

Hearing this, the bald man and his companions were very spirited.

“Since the payment is in, the deal is closed.”

With these words, Su Jingxing shot into the sky.

In less than a breath, he disappeared into the horizon.

The trio were stunned at this sight.

After a long time…

“Fourth… fourth-grade?”

The bald man swallowed his saliva, his face covered in shock. “He… he’s a fourth-grade?”

“I… I saw it.” The middle-aged man took a deep breath. While his eyes were filled with shock, relief appeared on his face. “Fortunately, we didn’t attack just now…”

“Stop talking!”

The third person raised his hand to cut him off. He looked around and his body trembled slightly. “Don’t say those words!”

The bald man and the middle-aged man immediately shut their mouths.

Those words? What words?

Fish in troubled waters!

The three of them were all sixth-grade martial artists. They didn’t have any backgrounds or backers. They plundered for a living. Over the past few years, they had worked together and killed many martial artists.

The Energy Gathering Stone that they had traded with Su Jingxing this time had been seized from someone else!

This time, they had also come with the intention of robbing.

After Su Jingxing checked the goods and paid, they would snatch the stone back and extort another sum from him.

Of course, this was part of the plan. If Su Jingxing had come with others and there were four or five martial artists in the middle ranks here together, then it would be a normal transaction.

Just now, after Su Jingxing readily made payment, they wanted to use a secret signal, but unexpectedly, Su Jingxing immediately flew away.

He did not step on air or walk on water. Instead, he charged into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

This level of true energy cultivation… F*ck, only a fourth stage cultivator could achieve this!

Would they dare to rob a fourth-grade expert?

Truly not knowing what death was!

Terror, lingering fear, and shock.

The three of them stood rooted to the ground, their backs drenched in sweat.

It was only when a car drove over from the other end of the bridge and they heard the sound that they suddenly came to their senses.

The next moment, they started running without another word.

As for the next transaction…

There was no second Energy Gathering Stone!

They had told Shen Qian earlier, one big and one small, two Energy Gathering Stones.

The bigger one was a fake.

Although the trio claimed that they hadn’t brought it, it was actually kept in their pockets.

Originally, their plan was, if Su Jingxing was alone, to use the second fake stone to force Su Jingxing to buy it after he bought the first one.

That’s right, the trio had come up with several plans.

But after knowing that Su Jingxing was a fourth-grade martial artist, all the plans were made useless.

Another transaction, to force a sale?

With their lives gone, there would be no need for a trade!

…

The night wind blew.

Su Jingxing executed the Eight Steps Rising Dragon and flew in the air.

He released his true energy to cover his entire body, forming a protective barrier of true energy that kept him fearless of the air resistance and the strong winds.

Instead of returning to the courtyard at the foot of the mountain, he headed straight for the Tai Ming Mountain Reservoir.

Yes, Su Jingxing wanted to take a gamble.

He would use the boundless vitality of the Life Extension Card on the Concentration Fruit Tree.

If he were to fail, he would waste a Life Extension Card and also possibly affect the Concentration Fruit Tree.

If he was successful, he would obtain the Concentration Fruit in advance.

There was a 50% chance of winning this gamble.

Su Jingxing was willing to take the risk!
