“Just now in Shadow City, did you say you had a mission to give to that scorpion?”
As we returned to the living room to continue drinking tea, chatting, and watching TV, Sandora suddenly seemed to realize something and curiously said to me.
As soon as she finished speaking, Qianqian and her sister also cast curious glances my way. They hadn’t noticed at the time in Shadow K City, but now that Sandora mentioned it, they found it odd.
Well… it’s weird because…
Imagine how odd it would be for someone who never really cared about his job, who seemed like an emperor, suddenly giving orders to his officers…
Alright, as a Xyrin Emperor who was basically just slacking off all day, I guess I’m really deep in my sins, right?
“It seems there was trouble with the Superpower Team,” under the collective assault of six sparkly big eyes, my original intention to tease was immediately killed, and I raised both hands to honestly confess, “I met Lin Feng today, and he told me about this very strange gang that has been smuggling something. However, what exactly they’re smuggling, who they are, and other details are unknown. Not only have conventional police forces that tried to investigate them mysteriously vanished, but even a few investigative teams from the Superpower Team have come up empty, unable to even directly engage them. The only confirmed information right now is that the gang is likely another Superpower Organization – even an idiot could see that. Given the bizarre nature of the situation, Lin Xue suggested Lin Feng seek our help.”
It sounds trivial, but we all know the trouble the Superpower Team is facing is probably more serious than it seems.
Because even Lin Xue couldn’t handle it.
If it were a matter of combat, you could understand it. Lin Xue, despite claiming to be an expert in Muay Thai, Yong Chun, Eight Diagram, Tai Chi, Judo, Inch Fist, and Baji Fist, isn’t suited for direct combat. However, the situation now is: a mysterious and unsafe organization has emerged, and Lin Xue actually can’t figure out what they are doing!
“Lin Xue is out of options?” my sister said with an incredulous look on her face, “Is there really something she can’t see clearly?”
That’s the severity of the problem.
A small smuggling gang made up of humans, and their actions could even bypass the Prophet’s scrutiny?
How powerful must the Superpower User interfering be!?
“So I think the situation is a bit sinister,” I said, “Even someone as proud and arrogant as Lin Xue has to admit defeat for once, which is really rare.”
“Just the right moment as we’ve acquired new troops, then do you intend to involve that scorpion in this mission?” Sandora placed her fingers together, resting her chin on them, “It would be a great opportunity to test the combat effectiveness of Armored Scorpion in a special mission involving a Superpower User. It’s a good idea and there’s also a high chance of obtaining data on Armored Scorpion’s combat against Superpower Users. However, I think it’s better to call Lin Xue first for a more detailed intelligence summary…”
Upon entering the state of affairs, Sandora completely shed her image of an eternally greedy, silly, and mischievously boundless wild girl, and turned into a seasoned Great Demon King… cough, strategist, starting to analyze the situation of the mysterious smuggling gang bit by bit based on the information I received from Lin Feng. Many details that seemed unknowable unless witnessed were clarified by this suddenly intelligent girl. Of course, the actual situation could only be known after contacting Lin Xue, and our current estimates were only a direction for future actions.
Although I don’t believe a mysterious organization formed by Earthlings can pose any threat to us, we still decide to plan carefully how to handle this incident.
After all, this is Earth, not the Otherworld—more importantly, this is China. In a country where a single gunshot can cause city-wide tension, we must slightly change our usual way of doing things. We couldn’t possibly just send tens of thousands of troops into the human world for a massive purge, could we?
Of course, we didn’t take that smuggling gang too seriously; it would be troublesome to discover and destroy an organization even Lin Xue couldn’t detect without anyone noticing, but trouble and challenges are definitely not the same concept. No matter how formidable the other side may be, could they be more powerful than us superhumans?
So, for us, it’s pretty much just about giving a troublesome kid a good beating without other kids noticing…
“Think of it as a slightly brain-stimulating game,” Sandora finally summed up, “Consider it a little spice in the boring routine of life.”
Meanwhile, this smuggling gang—now treated as a game target by some superhuman gang—was driving someone from the Superpower Team to the brink of frenzy.
“What’s going on? Another miss!?”
In a room that looked like an office overall but was filled with cute dolls and various trinkets that girls like, Lin Xue’s frustrated voice echoed throughout the space.
Standing in front of Lin Xue was a sharp and efficient-looking npc, Faceless Man, who due to plot necessities had no choice but to keep his head down and apologize incessantly under the wrath of his boss.
“It’s okay,” when the Faceless Man finally ran out of steam, Lin Xue knew the fault wasn’t on him. She waved her hand impatiently, her face grim, “Go back and continue collecting all possibly relevant information. Come back and report immediately if anything comes up.”
When the office finally quieted down again, Lin Xue instantly shattered her serious leadership persona, ungracefully slumped halfway down her chair, and then dramatically raised both arms above her head, sighing, “Ah—why did I finally take a leave to go shopping only to be called back early to face such a headache?!!!”
“The skilled ones do more work, the skilled ones do more work, ha…”
A somewhat husky but pleasant young female voice suddenly rang out. Ding Ling, who had been sitting at a nearby table using the computer, offered her insincere comfort and then suddenly remembered something, “Right, didn’t you say you were going to ask Chen Jun and the Great Gods for help? Why haven’t you left yet?”
“Yesterday, while shopping, Little Feng just happened to run into them and he has already passed on the message for me.”
As Lin Xue spoke, she walked over and unceremoniously pushed Ding Ling aside to start looking for something of her interest online.
“Just happened to run into them? You probably calculated how to orchestrate a ‘chance’ meeting between Little Feng and Chen Jun on the street, didn’t you? Even planning against your own brother, huh?”
“Knowing it, you shouldn’t say it. It ruins my image.”
“You have an image…” mumbled Ding Ling and then quickly changed the subject before Lin Xue could protest, “Honestly, do you feel embarrassed to ask Chen Jun for help?”
“How could that be possible? I’m not that narrow-minded!”
“Women ah…” Ding Ling shook her head, expressing great emotion, “Only women understand the hearts of other women, right? You definitely feel embarrassed and don’t want to look like a useless vase to others, right?”
“No…”
“Just because you don’t say it out loud yourself, you think you can avoid the awkwardness, right?”
“No…”
“But in reality, having your brother pass the message doesn’t change anything…”
“I…”
“So you, this tsundere who’s in denial, are really good at self-deception…”
In the end, Ding Ling decisively concluded, and then leveraging her petite stature, she slipped…
into Lin Xue’s grasp…
“Which is why I think your ability is simply too OP now… You never managed to catch me before…”
“Just keep cool! Once you’re in my hands let’s see if you still have that sharp tongue!”
Accompanied by this declaration of war, the two girls who had grown up together and teased each other countless times began a new round of their friendship rivalry.
More than half an hour passed, and the office, which had become like a scene from a robbery, finally quieted down, as without using superpowers, Ding Ling was clearly no match for Lin Xue, who proudly claimed to be “an expert in Muay Thai, Inch Fist, Yong Chun, Eight Diagram, Tai Chi, and so on.” After being easily pinned down by her opponent, Ding Ling had no choice but to raise her hands in surrender.
“Now seriously,” Lin Xue, victorious, stood up and straightened her slightly disheveled clothes, “I heard that Ding Bai doesn’t like that stick Chen Jun much?”
“True, that’s what I told you.”
“Tell him to keep it cool when he’s back, Chen Wood is more manageable, but those girls around him…” Lin Xue’s expression subtly changed then continued, “Anyway, for the common future of mankind, you better keep an eye on Ding Bai.”

“You don’t need to tell me,” said Ding Ling as she fixed her hair and simply stayed sitting on the ground, “Hey, are you perhaps worrying about my dumb brother? You know, that guy is actually…”
“I have zero interest in that type of playboy,” Lin Xue immediately showed a disgusted face. Although she knew Ding Ling was just teasing, having Ding Bai become the topic still irked her a bit, “It’s just that Chen Damuto is quite the trouble-avoider… What’s that look?”
“Just realized the truth,” stated Ding Ling significantly, then delivered her killer comment, “You indeed care about Chen… mmmph”
Lin Xue swiftly covered Ding Ling’s irrepressible mouth, threatening fiercely, “If I find out you’ve been spreading rumors… beware, I might secretly take photos of you changing clothes and hang banners in the streets!”
“…you win…” Blindsided by Lin Xue’s usual fierce rhetoric, Ding Ling hurriedly changed the subject, “Speaking of which, now you’re with the Great Gods, eh? Tell me, just how amazing are they? I’m really envious, ah. Angels, ghosts, and all that, just thinking about it feels… okay okay, got it, I won’t spread rumors… But can you at least tell me how powerful they really are?”
“I told you it’s a secret. If you want to know, go fight those Great Gods yourself. I promise you won’t even be able to beat the little loli who can’t even get her words out…”
