CHAPTER 405: CHAPTER 239: THE DRUE STAR PEOPLE WHO LEAKED PLANET TECHNOLOGIES_2

Looking at the dying giant crocodile, Qin Shou sheathed his giant sword, and his enlarged body quickly shrank back to normal.

"Boom..."

The ground quaked violently, soil rolled over as Jiatan Jie’er slowly broke through the ground. A purple dark beam zeroed in on the giant crocodile’s head, piercing it completely.

"Ding, you have slain a Nightmare Level Giant Crocodile..."

Glancing at the unmoving monster puppets by the wetland lake, Qin Shou cracked a satisfied smile.

This haul was definitely worth it.

He commanded Jiatan Jie’er to toss the monster puppets into the System Space, then summoned the System Interface and integrated Liang Yan’s corpse into a card, inserting it into the camera at his waist and transforming into Liang Yan’s likeness.

I, Qin Shou, the Four-eyed Demon!

...

Returning alone to the fourth-level base, Qin Shou’s mood was buoyant; he initially planned to find a good spot to indulge in a feast.

However, recalling that the Demon Eye Star People’s dining tables were full of monster eyeballs—barely cooked to medium rare—his appetite vanished instantly.

Having transformed into Liang Yan, Qin Shou boldly made his way to the villa neighborhood where Liang Yan resided.

"Hey, Liang Yan, weren’t you out hunting some Swamp Giant Crocodiles today? How come you’re back so early?"

A Four-eyed neighbor stepped out just in time to see Qin Shou returning home, greeting him enthusiastically.

Qin Shou waved his hand with a bitter laugh: "Don’t even mention it. That crocodile got intercepted by an even stronger monster, and all the Three-eyed Demons I recruited to help died there. What rotten luck."

"Is that so? Well, don’t be discouraged. Hiring those lowly Three-eyed Demons doesn’t cost much anyway. Just prepare well for next time and head out again..."

The neighbor threw in some casual consolation and brushed past Qin Shou, not noticing anything unusual about "Liang Yan" today.

A moment later, Qin Shou pulled out Liang Yan’s identification and returned to the luxurious villa decorated with enormous eyeballs.

As soon as he opened the door, four Three-eyed women dressed in indescribable fabrics immediately flung themselves at him.

"Honey, you’re finally back! We missed you so much..."

"Liang Liang, I want to make your favorite braised pearl eyeballs for you today. How are you going to reward me?"

The four seductive Three-eyed women surrounded Qin Shou, incessantly rubbing against him, vying to curry favor.

These were Liang Yan’s mistresses, but now they had all "fallen" to Qin Shou.

Bah! Who the heck wants to benefit from something like this?

Qin Shou cast a glance at the eyeballs situated at various spots on their faces and couldn’t help but shudder.

Living with them would definitely shrink certain parts of him for a lifetime.

Also, what’s with this "Honey"?

The image of Uncle Da flirting with a janitor in the school bathroom flashed through his mind, sending another wave of revulsion through him.

This lousy translator should have been replaced ages ago.

No, this disguise is unacceptable; it needs to be swapped out.

Four thirsty aunties—who could possibly endure that?

Qin Shou pushed aside the clinging women without a trace of emotion, pointing to the room filled with all sorts of "tools."

"Go clean this mess up, and make sure you disinfect everything."

The four Three-eyed women stared in bewilderment. Since when did Lord Liang Yan come home and order them to clean first thing?

Previously, he would always call us "little treasures" and negotiate the positions we would use later...

...

Not long afterward, the four women finished cleaning the house and disinfected it. Qin Shou handed them a few Energy Crystals and sent them packing, instructing them to find new owners.

What nearly drove Qin Shou to his limit was that these four aunties were willing to pay a brokerage fee for him to introduce them to other Four-eyed Demons.

What the hell, do you really think I, Qin Shou, am a pimp?

I’m so pissed off!

With a cold snort, Qin Shou stored the Earth Core Energy Crystals in his space and began contacting a few friends using Liang Yan’s communicator.

"Hahaha, Zhen Yan, long time no see! It’s me, Liang Yan! I’ve got a few promising candidates skilled in the eighteen martial arts here. Do you need—beep... beep..."

Glaring at the communicator abruptly hung up on him, Qin Shou sneered. I wasn’t even done talking, and you hung up on me? No manners!

...

After the women left, Qin Shou double-checked the house for issues, then released the Big Big Wolf couple to prepare a lamb hot pot.

"Red Tai Lang, slice the lamb thinly."

"Alrighty, dear!"

The Big Big Wolf couple busied themselves in the kitchen while Zhi Yin and Hundred-Eyed Demon massaged Qin Shou’s shoulders and back as he lounged on the sofa, occasionally trading jabs about each other’s physiques and appearances.

Qin Shou wanted to interject and tell them, "Your roles aren’t even that kind of vibe; what are you arguing for?"

Shaking his head, Qin Shou raised the communicator. "Galatron, filter for suitable Five-eyed Demons for the next mission."

Infinite layers, transforming into a Five-eyed Demon!

"Beep... Filtering in progress..."

"Beep... Filtering complete..."

[Official Mission: Proceed to the Molu Mountain Range and hunt down the Drue Star Person who has leaked planetary technology secrets to the natives.]

[Mission Acceptance Requirements: Above Four-eyed Demon rank, and strength not weaker than Level 3, Star 3.]

[Mission Reward: 500,000 Earth Core Energy Crystals.]

[Mission Participants: 3/5]

Qin Shou raised an eyebrow; it turned out to be an official task from Demon Eye Planet.

This mission technically falls outside the jurisdiction of the Demon Eye Star People.

But leaking planetary technology to natives is no small offense—it crosses into the vested interests of all the factions.

The natives of Monster Planet already possess decent potential; if they gain access to technology, discover the truth about "gods," and develop their own cultivation civilization, the Four Great Forces will no longer be the planet’s absolute rulers.

Violating this taboo naturally calls for a public example to be made.

Qin Shou speculated that not just Demon Eye Planet but also Drue Planet, Giant God Planet, and Earth had likely dispatched personnel to hunt down this Drue Star Person.

Of course, apart from Drue Planet itself, the other Three Great Forces only sent moderately strong agents to express their stance on the matter, not elite assassins capable of outright eliminating the Drue Star Person.

Killing this taboo-breaker ultimately falls to Drue Planet’s own kind.

Otherwise, the reward couldn’t possibly be just 500,000 Earth Core Energy Crystals.

"Galatron, why select this mission?" Qin Shou asked skeptically.

Even if it’s an official mission, not many Five-eyed Demons would care about such modest rewards enough to partake.

Unless Galatron discovered something.

"Beep, respected master, during my infiltration into Demon Eye Planet’s internal task network, I found that one participant is a Six-eyed Noble with slightly lower strength, perfectly aligning with the next phase of the plan."

"In this trip to the Molu Mountain Range to kill the Drue Star Person, causing a certain level of chaos provides a chance to obtain the Six-eyed Noble’s identification."

"On Demon Eye Planet, Six-eyed Nobles are considered middle-class nobles, ranking below High-class Nobles like Seven-eyed Demons and Top Nobles like Eight-eyed Demons."

"As for the supremely noble Nine-eyed Demons, they rarely engage in Demon Eye Planet’s internal operations."

"Thus, acquiring the status of a Six-eyed Noble would be enough to establish a firm foothold on Demon Eye Planet."

"Leveraging the noble faction behind this Six-eyed Noble could ensure smoother implementation of the master’s plans."

After Galatron’s detailed explanation, Qin Shou felt it sounded quite reasonable.

Although aspiring to be the big boss as a spy is admirable, circumstances necessitate adapting to reality. First, secure the status of a Six-eyed Noble, and then slowly work on other schemes.

"Alright then, it’s decided—accept the task and attend the interview tomorrow!"

The so-called interview is merely a demonstration of meeting the strength requirements.

Qin Shou’s Synthetic Monster might only be Nightmare Level 2 Star, currently lacking sufficient Synthesis Points for enhancements.

However, the grading for monster levels is inherently ambiguous; as long as he showcases strength comparable to Nightmare Level 3 Star, no one would know it’s merely Nightmare 2 Star unless he explicitly revealed it.

After accepting the mission, Qin Shou retrieved a Constant Star Energy Crystal and paired it with Earth Core Energy Crystals for cultivation.

Though extravagant, this method enables better absorption of energy to expedite advancement to Unbreakable Realm Second Star.

Of course, the Second-level Breakthrough Potion needs prioritization as well.

Tomorrow, he intends to take Lin Yan out of the Demon Eye Base and have the Monkey Avatar transport the mission rewards back to Earth Base City.

The round trip will take considerable time, and by the time the Monkey Avatar returns, it’ll roughly coincide with Qin Shou’s leap to Unbreakable Realm Second Star.

Third-level breakthrough potions can be purchased with Points, but anything beyond Level 4 breakthrough potions is scarce and must rely on the Synthetic Muto nurtured in the System Space.

A Nightmare Level Four-star Monster synthesized from Titan Giant Beast Muto is undoubtedly suitable for producing breakthrough potions.

Essentially, it’s akin to "sacrificing," and Qin Shou very consciously avoided interacting with Muto in the System Space to avoid hesitations later.

"I’m just too soft-hearted~ Too soft-hearted~"

Qin Shou helplessly massaged his forehead and glanced toward the kitchen.

"Big Big Wolf, turn off the song."

"Alrighty, dear master! If you don’t like this one, how about I play another—"

*Smack!*

Red Tai Lang left a glaring red handprint on Big Big Wolf’s face, roaring angrily.

"Shut up! Less nonsense, and serve the meal already!"

"Wooo... Okay, wife master."
