“Come, see if there’s anything you need,” Shadow walked out of the woods carrying a stack of documents and sat by the campfire.

Ma Jingjing and the others were stunned.

Although they had seen Shadow moving between the woods and the campfire, they hadn’t paid much attention to where he went.

Now, he returned from this remote wilderness area of the Forbidden Zone, with a stack of documents out of thin air, it was as strange as could be.

Especially on top of the stack, there was an oven instruction manual.

Ma Jingjing looked at Qing Chen: “Boss, what do you need an oven instruction manual for? Do you want to use an oven here? There’s no electricity.”

Qing Chen: “…Right, right.”

Shadow expressionlessly picked up the top sheet of paper, tore it into pieces and threw it into the fire: “Look at the others.”

These documents were all fragmented by LingLing.

Even if it was a whole book, there might only be a few pages left.

Some pages that were originally whole might only have a quarter or a third left.

Qing Chen gathered the stack of documents and looked through them one by one.

“Fragments of an English version of Jin Ping Mei, huh, the author is Ren He? This is useless.”

“The original paper of the breakthrough in international stem cell research… also useless, this is already very mature technology now.”

“This is someone’s hand-written English lyrics, probably from some middle school or high school student.”

Qing Chen laughed halfway through: “This is a fake ‘cultural relic,’ I guess the forger didn’t even know what he was writing, just put the words together. Let me translate it for you: My friend’s father is his son’s brother; my son is a potato; bananas can write, but they’re a little slow. Hahaha, what kind of nonsense is this? The grammar is also wrong.”

Shadow’s Face[-] darkened.

He never imagined that the Qing Family’s treasured possessions would be such useless rubbish.

At this time, Qing Chen took out a strange-looking pattern.

Mysterious and eerie.

Shadow’s eyes lit up: “This thing, the Qing Family experts have never figured out what it’s for.”

Qing Chen and Yang Yang looked at each other, Qing Chen hesitated for a long time before saying: “This is a QR code used by merchants for payment…”

Shadow: “???”

Qing Chen patiently explained: “The Inner World uses multi-dimensional dynamic codes, bypassing the QR code stage, so it’s normal that you don’t know what it is, it’s too outdated for you.”

Shadow heard that this younger brother knew how to comfort people…

At this moment, Qing Chen picked out the English documents and threw them all into the fire.

The remaining documents were in writing systems he didn’t understand, such as French, Spanish, Manchu, etc.

Qing Chen said: “I’ll write these down first, I need to go back to the Outer World to translate them and see what they are.”

Shadow felt hopeful upon hearing this.

However, Yang Yang came over from the side and said: “I know all of these. This is a promotional poster; this is a rubbing of an inscription, the inscription says something about ancestor worship and expressing affection; this is a customs declaration; and why is there a Thai version of King Invincible here…”

Qing Chen looked at Yang Yang: “How did you master so many languages?”

In just a short while, Yang Yang had displayed six language abilities, was this a talent?

Yang Yang was stunned: “Cough, when I got lost, I would stay in the local area for a while. Actually, languages are easy to learn. If you live in a place for two or three months, you will naturally know it all. Xiao Zhenji is probably the same, after two or three months, she will naturally speak Chinese.”

Qing Chen sighed: “So you’ve gotten lost quite a few times.”

Yang Yang quickly selected the documents, throwing everything Shadow had brought into the fire as firewood.

The dignified Shadow of the Qing Family silently sat beside the campfire, his expression frozen as he watched the flames flicker.

He had just promised his younger brother to find something useful, but now he hadn’t found anything at all.

Qing Chen looked at Shadow and said: “Actually, it’s normal not to find anything. Li Family Patriarch supposedly collected for hundreds of years before finding the Zhunti Method, I’m just trying my luck in the Inner World.”

However, the more Qing Chen comforted him, the more Shadow couldn’t stand it.

“You guys wait here… No, it’s getting late, hurry up and rest, I’ll go out for a while,” Shadow said, and went back into the woods.

He couldn’t lose!

He had to get what his brother wanted!

...

...

City 10, Caramel Bar Underground.

Old Shen was sitting in his chair, drowsy, when suddenly the Shadow Gate opened, startling him.

Qing Chen said angrily: “Why are you back again?”

Shadow’s Face[-]

was gloomy: “Have the spies started?”

Old Shen had a toothache: “Not yet, we need to make some preparations.”

“Prepare what?” Shadow asked back.

“Prepare a reason, and then let the various levels of PCA intelligence agencies contact the black market, ask them to hand over the items,” Old Shen said: “Otherwise, if you suddenly attack the black market of the whole Federation, what will the other Conglomerates think? How will they guess your actions? They don’t know that you’re looking for documents for Qing Chen, once you take action, they might think that the family head has a secret child who was abducted! Moreover, if the spies act rashly, their identities will be exposed.”

Shadow calmly said: “Don’t worry about that, do I have time to waste with them now, just do it!”

Old Shen put on his glasses: “Are you serious?”

“Serious, except for Su Xingzhi in City 18, everyone else is to be mobilized. Don’t let the spies do it, let them hide well,” Shadow said: “After all, this is the capital to be left to Qing Chen, it can’t be ruined by me.”

“Ah?” Old Shen was stunned: “Then who are you going to use?”

Shadow said: “I’ll send the Shadow troops.”

“Hiss!” Old Shen gasped: “Now it’s good, the other Conglomerates will think that our Patriarch has been kidnapped!”

Shadow smiled: “Don’t be so nervous, I just want to find some things.”

That night, in various cities, Shadow troops in black suddenly emerged from the Qing Clan Secret Intelligence Agency’s safe houses in various cities.

Shadow used the Shadow Gate to send them to various corners of the Federation, team by team.

These B-Class Gene Soldiers of the Shadow troops didn’t even bring weapons, and directly rushed into the black markets.

The spies had already compiled information such as ‘who has ancient texts and documents,’ ‘where are they operating,’ ‘do they have heavy weapons,’ ‘how many people are in their family, do they have children,’ etc., and gave it to Old Shen, who then gave it to Shadow.

Shadow knew very well that those who work in the black market must have blood on their hands, there are very few people like Su Xingzhi who have some principles, so he didn’t plan to show mercy.

It would take hundreds of years to convict those who were caught.

So Shadow’s purpose tonight was clear: Raid the houses…

Fifteen minutes later, the B-Class Shadow troops charged into the black markets like they were beating up children.

The battle process was unembellished, a complete crushing victory.

The Shadow troops also have the pride of the Shadow troops, if they were still complaining to the boss after taking down a few black markets, they should retire to farm.

Such trivial matters, why should the boss worry?

Some bosses in the black market were also insightful, they only had to look at how the Shadow troops took down their men to know the strength of these people.

One boss, bruised and swollen, with several broken ribs, knelt on the ground and asked: “Big brothers, what wind brought you here? Who are you?”

The Shadow troop soldiers asked: “Where are the mysterious documents you showed before?”

The boss knelt on the ground, heartbroken: “Just tell me what you want, I’ll give it to you, look at how you’ve beaten me.”

“Don’t bullshit,” the Shadow troop soldier said: “Hurry up.”

In just half an hour, the Shadow troops had retreated.

Shadow smiled and brought them back to their base one by one, then took the documents they had raided: “You’ve all worked hard, bonus at the end of the month.”

The Shadow troop soldiers were a little embarrassed: “Boss, no need, this kind of thing is done in minutes, how can we accept a bonus?”

“It’s fine, I’m in a good mood,” Shadow said.

At this moment, the Shadow troops’ actions had alarmed many forces.

This operation had several characteristics: extremely high individual strength, full-scale operations in various cities, and the Federation’s black markets were all heavily damaged.

If you say that a Conglomerate carefully planned this, everyone could do it.

But the only one who could silently and suddenly cause such an incident is Shadow.

The Shadow troops, along with the Shadow Gate, were able to be so ruthless.

The Shadow troops made their appearance when rescuing Li Shutong’s friend Cheng Xiao, before that, everyone didn’t even know that Shadow had quietly cultivated such an elite force.

After the Shadow troops’ debut, all Conglomerates began to gather their strength to build such a force, like an arms race.

But temporary preparation, how could it compare to Shadow’s years of preparation?

Moreover, it is only because the Qing Family’s power is so concentrated that it can be done so quietly.

At first, everyone was a little puzzled, Shadow trained this army, but he didn’t use it much, his term of office was about to end, but he kept the power without using it, was he going to leave it to the next Shadow?

This is very strange.

Now, with the Shadow troops’ second appearance, various forces felt uneasy.

Several doubts arose in their hearts.

“Why attack the black market?”

“What’s in the black market?”

“What is Shadow trying to do?”

All the forces sent people to inquire about what the Shadow troops did in the black market.

When they learned that Shadow was looking for documents left behind by the previous civilization, they immediately felt that these documents probably contained great secrets.

Everyone was on the move, some forces immediately transferred their documents to safe houses.

Some forces immediately offered sky-high rewards to buy documents.

Some even plowed the black market again.

Many black market bosses abandoned their homes, carrying Off-road Vehicles and fled their cities, going to wander in the wilderness.

The Federation had cleaned up the black market countless times, but none of them were as ruthless and effective as Shadow’s actions this time.

The Qing Family’s Shadow, is a person whose every move can shake the entire Federation.

At this moment, Qing Chen, who was asleep, didn’t know how much had happened in this one night…

He didn’t know that one of his wishes caused so many people to have a sleepless night…

…
