Invincible from Seeing the BOSS's Health Bar

Fang Yu walked hurriedly and in a rush.

Dong Xingzhou’s sudden action, it could be said, disrupted all his plans.

Fang Yu didn’t know whether it was because Dong Xingzhou didn’t trust him or what, but without any discussion, he started unilaterally.

In haste, there was limited action Fang Yu could take.

Putting aside other things, assuming Fang Yu was the insider, receiving the news now meant it was already too late to do anything; he could only passively do what he was supposed to do.

”I don’t know if it was Dong Xingzhou’s personal action or the higher-ups’ directive. Regardless, they still have some reservations about me.”

With all these thoughts, Fang Yu, while hurrying on his way, just happened to cross paths with someone wearing a conical hat, hidden under a long robe.

In the bustling street crowd, neither of them noticed the other and they both went their separate ways.

And this person was headed in the distinct direction of... Diao Residence.

”Guard brother, please announce me, say Huang Qixin seeks to see Mr. Diao.”

Skillfully handing over some Silver Taels, Diao Residence’s only guard, Dun Zhiwen, couldn’t help but show a joyful expression as he reached out to take it.

He had just become a guard at Diao Residence and had already started receiving extra income.

Being a guard at Diao Residence sure was worthwhile.

Having the visitor wait at the entrance, Dun Zhiwen went inside to give notice.

After a while, he came out.

”The master is not in.”

Not there again?

Huang Qixin was startled; he had come early in the morning, could he have still missed him?

”Where has Mr. Diao gone?”

”I don’t know.”

”When will Mr. Diao return?”

”I don’t know.”

”...”

This was a triple ignorance.

The money was wasted.

Depressed, Huang Qixin touched the blank book in his pocket, gave a salutation, lowered his conical hat, and was about to leave when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

”Brother Huang, please wait.”

Huang Qixin turned his head and couldn’t help but be slightly astonished.

He saw a woman approaching him from Diao Residence, accompanied by a maid.

Huang Qixin recognized her; she was indeed the woman who had come to Detective Workshop with Mr. Diao the other day, seemingly Mr. Diao’s sister, what was her name, Diao Ruru.

Huang Qixin couldn’t help but marvel at how well this game’s dynamic change system was made.

When he last saw this woman, she was just a skinny, pale-faced figure of misery.

Now a month later, she was a respected person in the household, not just gradually gaining beauty, but her figure became more graceful, a total transformation from her previously impoverished state, a change from the inside out.

Simply put, from a village girl to a wealthy young lady, and quite naturally too. The changes in her circumstance could be a side plot in any other game.

But not in this game; everything evolves naturally, even without requiring player involvement; NPCs themselves change with time.

This is also why Huang Qixin, who initially played the game just casually, became increasingly engrossed in it.

”Miss Ru Ru.”

Huang Qixin gave a bow.

Times have changed.

Back when Diao Deyi was just a member of the Foolish Underworld, he dared to create a commotion at Detective Workshop. Now that Diao Deyi had risen to a higher position in Yangshen Hall, naturally his relatives also rose in status, not to be trifled with lightly.

”Brother Huang, I know you’re here looking for Diao Deyi, but he just stepped out. How about you come inside and stay at my mansion for some time until Diao Deyi returns?”

Diao Ruru’s invitation made Huang Qixin hesitant.

He was carrying a valuable treasure, now being targeted.

He wanted to keep a low profile out of fear of being noticed and attracting trouble.

If he stayed long at Diao Residence, it might bring disaster upon them.

Shaking his head slightly, Huang Qixin said, ”I appreciate Miss Ru Ru’s kindness, but I’d better visit Mr. Diao another day.”

With another bow, Huang Qixin turned and left, moving away like the wind.

”Then at least leave a contact address, when Diao Deyi returns, I’ll send him to find you...”

Diao Ruru’s call only made Huang Qixin wave his hand and quickly disappear.

He now spent his days hiding from place to place, nowhere dared he stay too long.

Watching Huang Qixin’s departing figure, Diao Ruru was slightly astounded, shook her head without overthinking, and returned to the mansion to continue her daily Martial Arts training.

Doctor Ding’s taught Martial Arts were gradually becoming enjoyable for her, increasingly invigorating, and her physique seemed to improve as well, no longer as frequently sore and exhausted as before.

”Is this the feeling of a Martial Artist? No wonder Diao Deyi is so obsessed with Martial Arts...”

But Diao Ruru just practiced Martial Arts for self-defense, without any further ambition, not even planning to ask Doctor Ding for more advanced cultivation.

It was purely a means of strengthening and keeping fit, something to practice daily.

”As Diao Deyi’s position in the Foolish Underworld grows higher, more people will come looking for him at the mansion. Should I also learn some manners to avoid embarrassing him in front of important figures, affecting his career...”

Diao Ruru warmed up for Martial Arts training while pondering all these trivial matters.

Unbeknownst to her, on the wall of Diao Residence’s courtyard, someone was peaking into the yard.

Suddenly, the peeping person’s ears twitched as if hearing something, and whoosh, they climbed down the wall and quickly walked away.

”Stop!”

With a heart-jolting feeling, the peeping person took off running!

At this point, the patrolling person who shouted stop immediately drew his sword and gave chase!

”Stop right there!”

He shouted loudly, causing Diao Ruru also in the adjacent courtyard of Diao Residence to hear the commotion.
