Chapter 53: Disasters always come one step ahead of me

Lu Yao glanced at the upper right corner.

Population: 13,395 Faith: 4,910

Previously, in order to unlock the "Golden Wilderness" and defeat the Blood Knight, he had consumed nearly 90% of his faith. But after a week, his faith had already increased significantly.

Apart from the 1,500 population he had gained, this was also due to the fixed faith income from various items.

Lu Yao counted the items in his hand.

Faith +1/hour: Energy Staff, Cactus Follower, Drifting Letter, Magic Harpoon, Tearful Amber.

Faith +2/hour: Evil Bone Whistle.

Faith +3/hour: Skinning Idol.

A total of 7 items.

So, he could quickly recover after the heavy loss.

Lu Yao pondered that with just these items, he could accumulate over 10,000 faith points in just a month and a half. With abundant faith ammunition, he felt at ease.

With Isabella by his side, a level 60 Blood Knight, and a large amount of faith firepower, Lu Yao felt that he had established a foothold in this broken world.

At this moment, he received a phone call.

It was his boss.

"Go to the company now and pick someone up for me."

"She’s a girl, 1.7 meters tall, wearing a red dress, named Amy, short hair, in her twenties."

"Didn’t I give you a key last week? Give it to her, don’t worry about anything else."

"Take a taxi, I’ll reimburse you for the fare."

The boss reminded him, "Go early and come back early."

Although it was Saturday, Lu Yao had no choice but to put on his shoes and go out.

He had to eat after all.

Lu Yao had a special mission in the company. His boss would often ask him to run errands, such as picking up different girls and taking them to different places, or giving different gifts to different girls... or delivering things to people with unknown identities.

But he didn’t have much objection. Because the boss would give him a monthly subsidy for this, not much, but it was always on time. Paying for work, no problem.

He took a taxi to the company and found Amy. There was a tall man standing beside her. He was Sister Peng’s fiancé, Police Officer Fu Chenggang.

When Fu Chenggang saw Lu Yao, he nodded at him.

Amy glanced at the two of them and asked, "Do you guys know each other?"

Fu Chenggang said yes.

"That’s a coincidence."

Amy smiled, "I’ll leave first, let’s chat later."

She took the key, thanked Lu Yao, and drove away in a white BMW.

"Do you smoke?" Fu Chenggang took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao shook his head, "No, thank you."

Fu Chenggang nodded and lit one himself, "I just found out today that Amy’s father is actually your company’s boss, Mr. Huang."

Feeling Lu Yao’s confusion, Fu Chenggang introduced himself, "I’ve known Amy for many years. She just returned to the country recently. She talked to me about some work-related matters before."

He casually mentioned it and changed the topic, "Lu Yao, I want to ask you something."

Lu Yao became wary.

"Do you know Xiaoyi?"

"Sister Peng?"

"Yes."

"That’s a coincidence."

Amy smiled, "I’ll leave first, let’s chat later."

She took the key, thanked Lu Yao, and drove away in a white BMW.

"Do you smoke?" Fu Chenggang took out a pack of cigarettes and handed it to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao shook his head, "No, thank you."

Fu Chenggang nodded and lit one himself, "I just found out today that Amy’s father is actually your company’s boss, Mr. Huang."

Feeling Lu Yao’s confusion, Fu Chenggang introduced himself, "I’ve known Amy for many years. She just returned to the country recently. She talked to me about some work-related matters before."

He casually mentioned it and changed the topic, "Lu Yao, I want to ask you something."

Lu Yao became wary.

"Do you know Xiaoyi?"

"Sister Peng?"

"Yes."

"I’ve only been at the company for a few months. Sister Peng has been nice to me, but I’m not really familiar with her."

"Oh."

Fu Chenggang nodded. He smiled, "Xiaoyi and I broke up."

Lu Yao was taken aback.

They were engaged and now they broke up?

"That’s a pity," he sincerely said.

Fu Chenggang put the cigarette box back in his pocket, "Now, as a police officer, I want to ask you some questions."

As he said this, he seemed to have changed into a different person. His gaze became sharp, and there was a faint sense of pressure on his face.

Lu Yao faintly felt that something was not right.

But when it came to police questioning, he still truthfully told everything he knew.

In fact, Lu Yao didn’t know much about Peng Xiaoyi.

In his impression, Sister Peng was just an older sister who liked gossip. She had a good eye and knew how to talk. She didn’t offend people and was familiar with the rules of the workplace. But she didn’t have any bad intentions, at least not to Lu Yao, who had no vested interests.

In addition, Lu Yao only knew that Sister Peng had a cousin who had a similar personality to his own.

"Xiaoyi doesn’t have a cousin."

But Fu Chenggang said, "She was adopted by an elderly couple since she was young. She doesn’t have any relatives, and there is no cousin in her family."

Lu Yao tentatively said, "Did something happen to Sister Peng?"

Seeing Fu Chenggang’s official attitude, he realized that something might have happened.

Fu Chenggang reminded, "Today’s questioning is related to official business, please keep it confidential."

"Understood."

He continued, "I hope you can cooperate with my work and work with the police..."

Lu Yao immediately said, "I’m sorry, Officer Fu. I’m an honest person and can’t keep secrets. I might mess up your work... I’ll leave first."

After saying that, he quickly went downstairs, rode a shared bicycle, and hurried home.

Disasters always come one step ahead of me!

Just kidding.

Does this guy look like the kind of unlucky person who would fall for it?

You investigate your things, I’ll do my job. I’m just an ordinary person, this kind of high-risk informant job is not suitable for a steady worker like me.

Regardless of what happened to Peng Xiaoyi, Lu Yao decided that after work, he would distance himself. He would never ride in her car again, never discuss her affairs, and only communicate with Peng Xiaoyi at the company.

...

Back in front of the computer, Lu Yao felt a sense of relief.

The life of a worker is full of dangers, it’s easier to be an apprentice god.

A new prompt appeared on the screen.

"The Garlic Tribe has been attacked by the East Sea Clan."

Lu Yao was stunned.Well, well, just an hour out, and the Donghai Clan from the sea has already made their move?

He looked around and finally realized that the battlefield was at sea.

In the distant eastern sea, a naval battle had broken out between the Garlic Tribe’s paddle sailboats and the Donghai Clan’s boats.

The Donghai Clan’s canoes were chasing after the Garlic Tribe’s paddle sailboats.

However, due to the gap in shipbuilding skills, the paddle sailboat, despite being the only one, was faster and more agile than the twenty or so canoes. It rolled over the canoes, sinking a few along the way, without affecting its retreat.

On the paddle sailboat, the sailors, from a higher position, shot their copper-tipped arrows, outperforming the archers on the canoes in both range and lethality.

Although there was a huge disparity in numbers, the actual battle saw the more numerous Donghai Clan constantly losing ships and men.

The Donghai Clan, infuriated, had one of their female captains summon sea monsters from the depths.

As soon as the three Level 9 sea monsters appeared, they attacked the paddle sailboat.

No respect for the rules of combat, huh?

Lu Yao cracked his knuckles, "Well, don’t blame the gods for stepping in to beat up the little monsters."

He activated a miracle.

Ten "Lightning" strikes instantly fell on the sea monster trio!

In the flickering blue light, two of the sea monsters were struck dead on the spot. The last one, severely injured, was scared into hiding underwater and dared not show its head.

The little people on the paddle sailboat raised their arms in cheer.

"The great God Yao protects us!"

"The sea monsters cannot harm us!"

"All-powerful God Yao, invincible God Yao!"

On the other side, the people of the Donghai Clan were stunned by the sudden thunderbolt.

The group of canoes dared not pursue any further.

"They have the protection of a god, we cannot attack them."

"Let it be, as long as they leave, we have the protection of Pray to the Gods."

"Since the barbarians have left, let’s bypass them."

"We’ll take you down next time, foreigners!"

"The sea is the territory of the Donghai Clan, leave quickly!"

Although they were frightened by the miracle, the Donghai Clan still talked tough.

Lu Yao decided to set things straight for these little people today.

Pray to the Gods? They’re squatting in jail.

Times have changed, little ones.
