Chapter 745: Damn, the previous Chapter is just now being reviewed. I’ll wait to release that Chapter before revising this Chapter 2.

He sat upright in a wide, ornate chair, wearing a set of extremely flamboyant clothes, not only colorful but also full of slits.

The sleeves of the top were sliced from top to bottom into strips, revealing the pure white silk lining inside.

The front and back of the shirt were intricately intersected with small cuts that formed a patterned 3D design.

His pants were also interesting, with 4 ventilation holes on each pant leg, and also cut into strips.

As for his hat, it was a red round-topped hat, with evenly spaced large cuts on the brim making it look like a blooming flower.

Liu Zheng felt as though he had seen this kind of attire before but couldn’t immediately recall.

That man also noticed their arrival, yet didn’t stand up from the chair, merely scrutinizing them with half-open eyes.

"This is the bodyguard the chairman hired from the black market, a Doppler Knight."

Shui Sishisan said.

"Oh, I remember now."

Liu Zheng suddenly realized.

There was a time when he liked a game called "Europa Universalis," in which there was a soldier type called Doppler Knight, wearing such flamboyant clothes.

Of course, he only watched those streamers play it; he didn’t have the patience and time himself.

Liu Zheng looked at the Doppler Knight’s arms, which indeed were holding the iconic German Heavy Two-handed Sword.

This kind of sword typically ranges from 150 to 170 centimeters, with the longest reaching up to 180 centimeters, being nearly impossible to draw once sheathed.

Therefore, soldiers generally do not carry it on themselves and usually wrap the sword in sheepskin, storing it in a carriage, taking it out only for battle.

Even during combat, they don’t hold it with both hands but rather rest it on the shoulder.

Carrying it is already so cumbersome, let alone using it.

Each Doppler Knight not only requires high physical fitness but also extensive professional training, which is why their pay is often twice as much as other soldier types.

The original meaning of Doppler (Dopplesoldners) is double pay.

"He seems disinclined to acknowledge us."

Liu Zheng remarked.

"He’s the chairman’s hired bodyguard; as long as you don’t do anything that might jeopardize the chairman’s safety, he’ll pretend he didn’t see you."

Shui Sishisan explained.

"Is that so?"

He stepped into the Fungal Blanket, raised his tentacle high, and smashed it down.

The Insect Killing Dagger abruptly fell, piercing through the protective membrane on the wormhole, then through the head shell of the insect inside.

"Squeak!"

The insect inside barely managed a wretched shriek before dying in its sleep.

But its scream startled its companions, with dozens of insects crawling out from the Fungal Blanket and automatically gathering together.

"Just this much?"

Liu Zheng counted the number and felt a bit disappointed.

This was less than half of the eleventh floor of West River Center.

"With the time you came, having these is already good enough."

Shui Sishisan replied.

"Alright, let’s assume it’s my fault."

After all, he had hastily changed the time.

Though he didn’t catch a school of fish, catching a big fish wasn’t too bad.

Even though this big fish looked like it wouldn’t be easy to ensnare.

"You should find a place to hide."

Looking at the swarming insects, Liu Zheng said to Shui Sishisan.

"No need, I’m here as an undercover, not as a burden."

With this said, Shui Sishisan took out a bottle from the folds of his abdomen and drank the liquid inside.

Quickly, countless mucuses secreted from his skin’s pores, making him look like a green wax figure melting.

Then, he took out a palm-sized triangular device.

Shui Sishisan pressed the button on the device, and a thin forcefield enveloped him.

He hesitated for a moment but still took out a similar device and handed it to Liu Zheng.

The latter took the device, and its item description immediately popped up.

"Name: Deflection Field Generator (one-time use)"

"Type: Item"

"Quality: Excellent"

"Effect: Produces a deflection field that covers the entire body with excellent defense against ranged and elemental attacks, but less effective against melee physical attacks. Duration: 5 minutes."

"Note: Using a deflection field just to catch a fish, are you fishing a whale?!"

"Can be brought out of the instance: Yes"

"This item is only suitable for defending against ranged attacks, so those close-range insects will need you to handle them."

Shui Sishisan said.

"No problem."

Taking the device gladly, Liu Zheng promised.

After preparing themselves, they charged in the direction of the insect swarm.

The insects had also organized their ranks and rushed toward them.

Poison needles, toxic powders, acid, fireballs rained down like hail, showering the small space where they stood.

"Damn, so intense?"

Liu Zheng was startled by the commotion, feeling that the scale was not inferior to that of the West River Center insects, but their numbers differed significantly.

"The alien insects in this building evolved more toward ranged attacks, which is why I prepared this deflection field generator."

Shui Sishisan explained.

"No wonder you’ve been chosen as an undercover, impressive."

He complimented.

"Thank you. They’re coming."

Shui Sishisan gave a reminder.

"Alright, dodge to the right."

Liu Zheng finished speaking and leaped, with Shui Sishisan following closely behind.

Some attacks hit the Fungal Blanket and were absorbed by it.

Most attacks still targeted them; the acid, toxic powder, and fireballs were blocked by the deflection field, while the poison thorns and needles were deprived of their momentum, softly falling.

Liu Zheng casually brushed off those projectiles and with a forceful push of his hooves, lifted straight up from the ground.

The highest recorded jump in reality is 1.2 meters, but with high attribute gains, he easily jumped over 2 meters.

Of course, this height was still insufficient to reach the airborne insect swarm.

Luckily, Liu Zheng’s arms were far longer than Superman’s, making ancestor Liu Bei seem like he had stubby arms in comparison.

"Hey!"

His tentacles swung like a windmill, simultaneously flinging out the Sawtoothed Butcher Knife, Dragon Scale Blade, and Insect Killing Dagger, as if using a sling.

With the same force, each weapon’s performance differed.

The Dragon Scale Blade performed the best, with Perfect Quality sharpness plus true damage boost, even a slight graze severed wings and limbs, the rage coursing through the blade further scorching the insects into cries.

The second-best performance was the Insect Killing Dagger, true damage plus high damage boost, ensuring a one-hit kill if landing on fragile spots.

Yet due to the dagger’s limited length, its kill efficiency paled compared to the broad and long blade of the saber.
