Chapter 65: Chaos Everywhere

The commotion in the lobby had drawn almost all the security forces.

But no one expected that the guards protecting the underground vault would also be swiftly eliminated by Qiong En.

As the leader of the Blaze Gang and the de facto ruler of the lower four levels, Qiong En was no ordinary man. He too had his own talent—the ability to absorb all surrounding sounds within a short period of time.

Earlier, he had used this talent to silently take the lives of those guards.

"Brother Qiong En, I'll go set up the explosives," Zhou Xing said, his eyes gleaming with excitement as he looked at the corpses on the ground.

The hatred lower-level people felt for the upper-level was inevitable, especially after enduring the hardships of life in the lower levels and witnessing the decadence of the upper-level. This hatred was unparalleled.

The Eternal Merchant Guild Bank's vault had only one key, and that key was in the possession of the bank president.

So, for anyone else to get something from the vault, there was no other way but to blow open the vault door.

Moreover, the vault door was made of a special alloy, rendering ordinary explosives useless.

That's why Zhou Xing was setting up a specially crafted sticky bomb made by Dr.

This bomb had been modified to have a smaller blast radius, focusing the explosive energy on a single point, giving it excellent penetration.

Zhou Xing quickly set up the bomb and retreated to Qiong En's position.

Then, without hesitation, he detonated it.

At the same time, Qiong En once again used his talent.

The vault door was engulfed in flames, but not a single sound was heard because all the noise had been absorbed by Qiong En.

However, this absorption clearly had some side effects on his body.

Qiong En patted his head and slowly stood up. The vault door now had a gaping hole.

Through the hole, one could see stacks of subway coins and gleaming gold bars.

Yes, gold bars.

Something that lower-level people had only heard of in legends.

With just a glimpse, Zhou Xing's eyes widened.

He couldn't imagine that if these were real gold bars, just one could ensure a lower-level person's comfort for a lifetime!

The decadence of the upper-level once again shattered the boy's worldview.

Qiong En patted his shoulder. "Don't stare. In the future, all this wealth will belong to the people."

Zhou Xing snapped out of it and shook his head, though his eyes inevitably drifted back to the gold bars.

Qiong En didn't say anything more and walked inside.

These gold bars weren't his main target today, nor was the material for making the advanced evolution potion.

Yes, Qiong En and Dr. hadn't told anyone the real goal of today's mission.

Once inside the vault, Qiong En's gaze immediately fell on a wooden box placed in the deepest part of the vault. The box looked ancient, with intricate carvings that gave off a deeply weathered feel.

"Found it…" Qiong En's expression was complicated. To be honest, he and Dr. had sacrificed a lot for this box.

Years of planning and scheming, all for this.

Inside the box was a special substance. With it, Dr. could create the ultimate weapon capable of standing against the upper-level.

Aside from Dr., no one knew this secret—not even the upper-level scientists who prided themselves on being the smartest in the world.

They had also studied the substance inside the box, but it had left permanent damage on their bodies.

Afterward, they sealed the box in the vault of the third-level Eternal Merchant Guild Bank.

Qiong En put on a pair of black gloves and carefully opened the box.

Inside was a small sphere emitting a hazy, oceanic glow.

Qiong En carefully took out the sphere and placed it in a specially made bag.

Meanwhile, Zhou Xing had stuffed several gold bars into his pockets. These bars were enough to make him an overnight millionaire.

But Qiong En's words brought his actions to an abrupt halt.

"These gold bars all have special serial numbers. They can track you down through those numbers. And sometimes, wealth that doesn't belong to you is a disaster, not a reward."

Zhou Xing was a smart man; otherwise, he wouldn't have been brought along for such an important mission.

Almost instantly, he understood Qiong En's meaning.

These gold bars had their own serial numbers. Once they appeared on the market, the bank could trace them back to him.

Even if he melted the bars, there was almost no way to sell them in the lower levels. Gold wasn't supposed to exist in the lower levels in the first place.

But Zhou Xing still took three bars.

He was thinking that perhaps in the near future, the relationship between the lower and upper levels would be completely reversed.

By then, these three gold bars might become the foundation of his standing in the new world.

Qiong En naturally noticed his actions but only sighed before leaving the vault with the special substance.

Meanwhile, the bank lobby was in complete chaos. Blood and dismembered limbs were everywhere, and the outside of the bank was completely surrounded by special vehicles, sealing off the area.

Zhao Kuo and Jasmine were hiding behind Xiao Bai.

Zhao Kuo smiled. "Honestly, your aim is pretty good. What a shame."

What a shame—if she were a player, she could've been a great teammate.

"What's a shame? The boss should have succeeded by now. We can retreat," Jasmine said, not understanding Zhao Kuo's meaning but urging him to follow the original plan.

Zhao Kuo shrugged. After the earlier chaos, he had earned a total of 236 points.

Though he didn't yet know what the points were for, it was always good to collect more. This reminded him of Li Shisan, whom he had killed last night. Clearly, as a spy, Li Shisan didn't belong to the upper-level faction.

Pitiful.

Zhao Kuo tossed out a bomb and followed Jasmine as they ran deeper into the bank.

But just then, screams erupted outside the bank. A crocodile doll was spitting fire as it charged into the bank, while a rabbit doll flickered in and out of sight, carrying out precise killings.

Tang Yingying—why was she here? Zhao Kuo quickly scanned the area but didn't see her.

She was probably hiding somewhere safe. This was the strength of a doll master—they didn't need to show themselves to control the situation.

Seeing the roaring flames at the bank's entrance, Zhao Kuo smiled and stepped inside.

Below, Qiong En pulled out a special item from his pocket.

**[Positioning Teleportation Device]**​

**[Rare-grade item. After setting an anchor point, it allows for teleportation to that location. Each teleportation can transport up to 5 people. Can be used once every seven days.]**​

Looking at the item in Qiong En's hands, Zhao Kuo felt a twinge of envy.

Teleportation items were life-saving treasures. If the great upheaval succeeded, he might be able to buy one.

Qiong En quickly activated the device. With a flash of white light, the four of them disappeared.
