I'm bombarding the Supernatural World with my firearms

"Idiot!"

Hearing Yuan Buping's voice, Hungry Monkey didn't even lift his head and impatiently said from not far away where he was tallying the spoils of war, "Don't you know how to make efficient use of space? Arms and legs, these limbs can be completely chopped off and stuffed into the gaps."

"Digging another one, do you know how much a grave costs here?"

"80,000 credit points!!"

"A full 80,000 credit points, damn capitalists, they actually dare to sell me a grave at the price of 80,000 credit points, sooner or later I'll bury that couple of dogs and the owner of this cemetery here!"

"Digging another one means wasting another one. You don't run a household so you probably don't realize how precious money is, right? Be a bit more economical."

"..."

After his lips twitched for a moment, Yuan Buping stood at the edge of the pit and looked at the coffin in front of him, which was almost overflowing, and let out a soft sigh. He waved his hand to summon his underlings, "Get a few people with shovels to push it down, and a few more to sit on the coffin lid, I'll nail it shut."

"Hurry it up!"

What he really wanted to say was that it wasn't Hungry Monkey's grave anyway, so what waste was there to talk about?

But since he had just joined the group, it was better not to talk back to the second in command's words.

Lest he suffer petty retaliations in the future.

If Miao tried to make things difficult for him, he wouldn't believe it; Miao wasn't that kind of person, but Hungry Monkey... looked exactly like someone who would gleefully make trouble for others.

...

"Exactly 201."

After tallying all the spoils of war and confirming there were no discrepancies, Chen Miao finally stood up and looked towards Hungry Monkey and the others, "I'm stepping out for a bit. You guys just wait here for me. I'll bring food when I come back."

"Don't wander off."

"Wait until I've handled the follow-up tasks."

"Oh, oh."

Hungry Monkey nodded and then seemed a bit perplexed, "Don't you need me to come with you? Miao, isn't it dangerous for you to be alone?"

"It won't be."

Chen Miao shook his head and continued, "Just stay here, and don't worry, the 'AI pills' are saved for you guys. They induce sleep during their effective period, now is not a convenient time to take them. We'll talk when I get back."

After saying this,

Chen Miao didn't linger and went straight away from the cemetery, ready to head for Fengtian City.

...

After Chen Miao left, Hungry Monkey, still standing there, looked at Yuan Buping and others with a lingering thought, then turned his head, "Looks like we might have to settle down here for a while."

"How's that, shall I clear out a few rooms for you guys to move in first?"

"This..."

Yuan Buping stood there silently with a complex expression on his face, not quite sure how to respond. Hungry Monkey lived in a tomb chamber, and Miao slept in a coffin. To let them settle down here, living long term in such an environment, it always seemed like it could mess with a person's sanity.

Monkey already seemed a bit off.

...

One hour later.

Getting out of a private car and successfully arriving in Fengtian City, Chen Miao straightened his clothes, casually ordered a bowl of Zhajiang noodles from a roadside stall, and started eating in the cold wind.

Late at night, there weren't any buses for him to take.

But hitching a ride these days wasn't a big deal.

Although he didn't have a wristwatch to pay credit points, he had Thomson. That thing was more useful than money.

The weather was getting colder, feeling several degrees lower than when he first crossed over. If things continued like this, winter wouldn't be far away.

At that moment—

A private car stopped by the stall. Seeing this, Chen Miao chuckled, wiped his mouth, and without hesitation, got up and sat in the passenger seat of the private car.

"Hey, you haven't paid yet!"

The stall owner came up anxiously.

Sitting in the passenger seat, Chen Miao shook his wrist and, with a smile, said to the middle-aged man in the driver seat, "Could you cover for me? I'm unregistered, don't even have a wristwatch."

"..."

The man in the driver's seat took out a wristwatch from the glove compartment with a dark expression, handed it to Chen Miao, and motioned for him to go settle the bill.

He couldn't settle the bill with his own watch, as it would leave a trace.

It wouldn't be favorable for him to be known to have met with Chen Miao in the dead of night.

"Speak."

After settling the bill, the man stepped on the accelerator and entered the main road. The vehicle moved steadily along the nearly deserted street, his voice carrying a veiled authority as he said calmly, "You went to great lengths to ask me to meet you. Whatever you want to say, say it."

"This car has been modified. There are no listening devices, nor is there a driving recorder."

"Actually, if you're thinking of threatening me, it's futile."

"The mere fact that I sit as the Deputy Director of the Western Third Law Enforcement Bureau in Fengtian City means I fear no dark forces. There are few gunmen in Fengtian, and it wouldn't be difficult to investigate and trace it back to you."

"Hmm..."

Chen Miao leaned back in his seat and didn't speak immediately, just lit a cigarette, took a drag, and rolled down the window to exhale the smoke outside. "There's no talk of threats. I just so happen to have some dealings with your daughter's classmate."

"So I asked your daughter to set up the meeting with you."

"I hear you've been sitting in the position of Deputy Director of the Western Third Law Enforcement Bureau for quite a while now?"

"Your achievements lacking somewhat?"

"Do you want to move up further?"

"Oh?"

The man laughed lightly, his expression unchanged, "You make it sound as though you have great connections."

"Not exactly, but I can help you eliminate the Director."

"You don't seriously believe that if the Director is gone, I'll be the Director, do you? Ever heard of parachuting in?"

"What if your achievements were sufficient?"

"My achievements aren't enough."

"Achievements can be 'boosted'." Chen Miao tapped the cigarette ash outside the window and said with a chuckle, "For cases of this level, if I send a few your way, wouldn't that be enough for you, Director Sir?"

"You don't understand."

The man shook his head calmly, "Currently, inside the Western Third Law Enforcement Bureau, the Director and I are not from the same faction. If the Director is gone,

the decisive factor as to whether I can become the Director lies in the struggle between the faction behind me and the faction behind the Director."

"If my faction wins, I'll move up; if the opposing faction wins, they'll parachute someone in."

"Apart from that, there are various other factors, including seniority, etc. It's not that simple—it's very complicated."

"I have a way."

Chen Miao took out four small boxes from his pocket, opened each one, and pushed them toward the man, revealing sixty 'AI pills' inside. He whispered with a slight laugh, "Actually, when it comes to connections, I do have some."

"Getting you into the position of Director isn't that difficult."

"What do you think?"

"..."

The driver's eyes twitched slightly at the sight of the sixty 'AI pills', remaining silent, just driving steadily. In truth, his meeting with Chen Miao wasn't

just because someone had sent a message through his daughter with an implied threat.

It was also because his daughter told him that a classmate named Yu'er had passed on the message.

Yu'er...

Chen Miao apparently had ties to Yu'er, the precious jewel of the Chi Family, one of the three major families of Fengtian City. Their business encompassed virtually every industry in Fengtian, not exaggerating to say they were the real emperors of Fengtian.

In front of such a figure, he was nothing, a mere Deputy Director's position wouldn't even catch their eye.

He couldn't fathom the extent of Chen Miao's relationship with the Chi Family. If the relationship was intimate, why would Chen Miao come to him? And if it wasn't, how could he have the precious jewel of the Chi Family deliver a message for him?

And most importantly...

The offer made by this man was simply too tempting to refuse.

In the end, the man couldn't resist, his gaze drifting to the open boxes of sixty 'AI pills'. That was six hundred thousand credit points, the largest bribe he had encountered in his career.

All he had to do was to remove Chen Miao from this case and thereafter, offer Chen Miao and his associates some privileges in their activities.

Then he could take away those sixty 'AI pills'.

Further considering the implied threat involving his own daughter, as well as the connection to the Chi family's precious jewel, the combined pressure and temptation were overwhelming. He simply couldn't find a good enough reason to refuse.
