Zhang Wei asked.
On the other side.
Li Junfei got into a taxi he had just hailed and said to the driver:
"To SM Plaza."
As he spoke, he replied to Zhang Wei:
"Heh heh, Brother Wei understands me best. Brother Wei, I specifically called the class monitor to find you because I wanted to ask, I'm going to SM Plaza later to buy the figures I pre-ordered. I remember you also pre-ordered a figure, should I help you pick it up? Also, Brother Wei, is there anything you want me to buy for you?"
Zhang Wei slapped his forehead in realization:
"Damn, if you didn't mention it, I almost forgot. I pre-ordered a Genshin Impact Raiden Shogun figure."
He checked the calendar on his phone. Yesterday was the delivery date the merchant had mentioned. He had been busy in the Northeast and had forgotten about it.
Immediately.
He said, "Junfei, you pick it up for me. I'm afraid the merchant will think I only paid the deposit and then decide not to buy it, and it'll be a hassle if they sell it. Also, help me check if the store has any Under One Person Bao'er Jie figures, get me one, no, get me two! I'll send you the money now."
"Got it."
Li Junfei nodded.
After a brief conversation, Zhang Wei hung up the phone.
...
On the other side.
SM Plaza, Lusha City.
A胖子 walked through the plaza, with passersby occasionally walking past him. Without exception, many passersby couldn't help but glance at the 胖子, and some who were less guarded would point and whisper about him after passing.
"Look at that 胖子, he's even using a sun umbrella. How effeminate."
"Haha, this 胖子 is wearing a t-shirt with an anime logo. He must be a shut-in, both effeminate and a shut-in."
"He's definitely a shut-in. Look, that sun umbrella is all printed with anime female characters."
"Yeah, but this 胖子 is really socially confident. Carrying such a sun umbrella, I would have been mortified."
The 胖子 was holding a sun umbrella.
It was noon, but as a man, even the women passing by weren't using sun umbrellas. For a grown man to be holding one made him seem too delicate, more effeminate than a woman.
However.
Despite the sideways glances and whispers from the surrounding passersby.
The 胖子 holding the anime sun umbrella ignored them and walked down the street as usual, occasionally muttering:
"My head hurts. I knew I shouldn't have spent money on the Naruto mobile game. I don't have much money left, so I can only buy one Bao'er Jie figure later. Ah, my Bao'er Jie, the most painful thing in 2022 is today."
"I hope the Bao'er Jie figure isn't too good-looking later. Please, I really have no money."
As the 胖子 was worrying.
"Naruto! Sasuke! Naruto! Sasuke!"
A famous scene from the anime, Naruto and Sasuke shouting at each other, rang out.
The 胖子 stopped and took out his phone.
It was his phone ringing.
Someone was calling him, the caller ID displayed – "Idiot Transvestite."
"Hmm?"
The 胖子 seemed surprised, not expecting a call from that person.
"Hello, did the sun rise from the west? Tailor, why are you looking for me?" the 胖子 said into the phone.
However, as he spoke.
"You fat piece of trash! You useless bum! You couldn't even handle a simple task!"
A loud shout came from the phone at the same time.
The voice sounded like a resentful woman.
The anger was undisguised.
The 胖子's face immediately darkened: "Tailor, what the hell are you yelling about? Oh, sorry, you are a ghost, so keep yelling. Yell louder. What the hell, can't you just say what you want to say properly? And what do you mean I messed up the task I arranged? Which task of mine wasn't arranged perfectly?"
Despite the cursing.
The 胖子 also realized the situation and said:
"What? Did something happen with the ambush of Monk Wunian that I arranged?"
"Yes!"
A gritted voice came from 'Tailor' on the phone. It felt like his teeth were about to shatter as he said "Yes":
"Not only did something happen, but all the ghosts you arranged were wiped out."
The 胖子 showed no attempt to hide his astonishment:
"Wiped out? Tailor, are you kidding me? I arranged over 200 ghosts, and there were eighteen red-clothed vengeful spirits. How could they all be wiped out?"
As if thinking of a possibility.
He quickly asked:
"Is there a Qilin Guard nearby? Or is Huang Qingshan nearby? Is his reinforcement this fast?"
"It wasn't an outside force, it was that Zhang Wei who took care of them."
"Huh??"
Then, as the 胖子 inquired, Tailor recounted how Zhang Wei had wiped them out and captured a red-clothed vengeful spirit.
At the same time.
Tailor's stitched face became increasingly gloomy as he spoke.
"I will deal with the captured red-clothed vengeful spirit myself to prevent it from exposing our Senluo Division. However, this matter will definitely attract the attention of the Northeast Wei Dao Division. My actions going forward might be very troublesome. You fat piece of trash, you still dare to tell me that the matters you arranged were proper."
"Uh..."
The 胖子 was a bit embarrassed:
"It's my fault. I didn't expect Zhang Wei to be so strong. But you can't blame me either. Your intelligence was incorrect. You said he could deal with your Iron Coffin Zombie, and that his strength was probably similar to Wunian's."
He had always acted meticulously, preferring to use a sledgehammer to crack a nut, and never wanting to make a mistake.
This was why the 胖子 had arranged over 200 ghosts and 18 red-clothed vengeful spirits to deal with Wunian and Zhang Wei, all to ensure that Wunian and the others had no chance of survival.
However, he had underestimated Zhang Wei's strength.
He hadn't expected that Zhang Wei, at such a young age, would have reached the Tiger Guard level, and not just any Tiger Guard level, but one capable of being a captain.
Thinking of this.
The 胖子 said, "I'll handle Zhang Wei's matter personally. Tell me where Zhang Wei is being protected."
In his opinion.
After this incident, the Northeast Wei Dao Division would definitely provide protection for Wunian, Zhang Wei, and the others, preventing them from going on missions for the time being.
"In Lusha City."
Tailor's voice drifted over.
As soon as he said it.
The 胖子 froze, thinking he had misheard:
"Huh? Where?"
"In Lusha City," Tailor said. He knew the 胖子's surprise; in fact, he was also surprised that Zhang Wei was in Lusha City.
Then.
Tailor explained to the 胖子:
"As soon as I received the intelligence this morning, I investigated Zhang Wei and found out that he is actually from Lusha City."
"Moreover, the Northeast Wei Dao Division has separated Wunian, Zhang Wei, and the others, sending them back to their respective local Wei Dao Divisions for protection, to avoid drawing personnel from the Northeast Wei Dao Division."
A flicker of surprise flashed in the 胖子's eyes, and he scratched his cheek:
"I didn't expect Zhang Wei to be in Lusha City. Alright, then it's good that handling Zhang Wei's matter falls to me."
"Okay," Tailor said, about to hang up.
"Wait, don't hang up yet," the 胖子 suddenly said.
"What? Is something wrong?"
"Uh, Tailor, lend me some money."
"Huh? Why don't you just go and rob someone for money?" Tailor instinctively replied, but quickly corrected himself, "Why do you need money?"
She knew that although the 胖子 was from their Senluo Division, he had a principle of not robbing for money. He lived by the creed, "I can kill people, but I have to earn money myself," a very strange behavior.
As she was thinking.
The 胖子's voice came through the phone.
"I don't have money to buy figures. Lend me some money, I want to buy figures."
Silence.
Tailor was stunned for a full three seconds.
When she came to her senses, the 胖子's phone was met with Tailor's roar:
"You fat piece of trash, damn it!!"
