Chapter 119: Chapter 119 Little Fangirl

Chen Ke glanced at the phone’s battery, which only had one bar left, but considering that he probably wouldn’t receive any calls, it should suffice. He was sure to find a chance to charge it today.

He put on a different suit, hanging the mutated suit back in the closet.

Wearing that suit during the day wasn’t very useful, and clothes with mutated effects weren’t easy to come by. If he damaged it, the loss would be irreplaceable.

Moreover, as the number of Holy Diamonds in Chen Ke’s possession increased, carrying around a dozen or so diamonds was quite inconvenient.

Especially those diamonds, each as big as a slot machine token and twice as thick, with sharp, defined edges that bulged uncomfortably in the pocket of his shirt.

He took out all the Holy Diamonds and laid them on the bed, pondering which ones to take with him. At that moment, he remembered Laven’s five Holy Diamonds, which he still hadn’t inspected.

Laven’s five Holy Diamonds consisted of a blue-quality shortsword and four pieces of white-quality clothing with an off-the-charts level of shamefulness.

He picked up the blue Holy Diamond and held it in his palm. An information box appeared before his eyes.

[Training Whip]

[Durability: Average]

[Pain Sting: Pain sensation is increased, but no intensification of damage inflicted]

[Chain Blade: With the blood of its wielder, the sword becomes a whip for a duration of 30 minutes]

[Inflicts an additional 20% damage on males]

A bead of sweat slid down Chen Ke’s forehead. As a shortsword, it was still useful.

Especially for Chen Ke, since his wounds could heal instantly at the expense of his lifespan, and most of the time, his enemies were men.

He decided to carry the Training Whip as his main weapon for the time being, leaving the golden-quality Unyielding Fury of Faralis in the apartment. After all, he couldn’t use that longsword with his current strength.

Then he looked at the remaining four pieces of white-quality clothing. If he remembered correctly, on that night, in addition to the three-piece suit she wore, Laven also had a gag in her mouth…

[Whispers of Pleasure]

[Durability: Poor]

[Indulgence: Converts 50% of pain into physical pleasure]

He would never use it, impossible, he wouldn’t even think about it.

Chen Ke turned to the remaining three pieces of clothing, which should include a pair of long gloves, a pair of thigh-high boots, and an extremely embarrassing strap-on bodysuit.

[Hands of Catching Wind and Shadows]

[Durability: Average]

[Stimulant: Increases attack speed when suffering damage]

…

[Spring-stepping Boots]

[Durability: Average]

[Stimulant: Increases running speed when suffering damage]

…

[Cage of Desire]

[Durability: Poor]

[Forget Yourself: Converts 50% of pain into physical pleasure]

…

Looking at the effects of these four Holy Diamonds, Chen Ke finally understood the state Laven had been in during their battle that night… When a .45 ACP bullet hit her back, what she felt was not pain, but immense… pleasure.

When Chen Ke held these four Holy Diamonds together in his palm, their descriptors suddenly changed, and a new descriptor appeared above their names:

[Memories of Mrs. Qiong]

[Set Level: 1]

[Complete Set Effect: Wounds slowly self-heal]

[Set Story: No corresponding knowledge]

Chen Ke was startled—this was actually a set! Not only did each Holy Relic gain a new descriptor, but their colors also began to change slowly.

The Holy Diamond that once had a white halo slowly turned a hint of pinkish white…

But when Chen Ke separated the four Holy Diamonds, the extra entries disappeared, and the color of the Holy Diamonds returned to pure white.

Although the set from Mrs. Qiong was the first suit that Chen Ke had acquired, he couldn’t be happy about it, because the outfit was too embarrassing, and he would never consider using it in his life.

Moreover, the additional attributes of the suit were of no use to Chen Ke.

He could instantaneously recover by sacrificing his lifespan, even to the point of reviving. He didn’t need the slow self-healing ability of this suit.

Since there were level 1 suits, there were bound to be higher levels, and perhaps he could gather a complete set in the future.

Chen Ke pulled open the drawer of his computer desk and threw the four embarrassing Holy Diamonds and the Faralis Unyielding Fury into it.

There were still a few Holy Diamonds left, the ones Chen Ke had brought from the Fan Hede Kingdom, the robe, blindfold, and trousers all had some protective effects, and the Sage candelabra could be used as a lighting tool, which worked well in conjunction with the training whip.

Chen Ke carried those five Holy Diamonds on him, then he checked the spare rounds of his PPQ45, filled the empty magazines with bullets, pocketed his phone and wallet, and went out.

Without saying much, as soon as he stepped into the safehouse, Chen Ke heard Pihom and Lucina arguing.

“No, this won’t do, this is unfeasible!” Pihom rarely lost his temper.

“You don’t understand him, Pi, I can handle this!” Lucina propped her hands on the sofa as if fighting for something.

“What’s going on?” Chen Ke advanced towards them.

“Lucina wants to steal a car.” Pihom said while crossing his arms.

“I know, in fact, I was just about to help her steal a car…” Chen Ke spread his hands, looking at Pihom and Lucina with a smile, as Lucina gave him a smile in return.

“There’s no problem with stealing cars, but I didn’t know Lucina was planning to steal Boss Tang’s car!” Pihom exclaimed angrily.

“Boss Tang…? Who is he?” Chen Ke didn’t recognize the character, but judging by Pihom’s reaction, the guy was probably not someone easy to mess with.

“Dominic, a legend among the street racers, and Lucina’s the number one fan girl.” Pihom explained.

Chen Ke looked toward Lucina with an incredulous expression and asked, “So, Lucina, you’re planning to steal your idol’s car?”

“Yes, he’s a top-notch mechanic and driver…” Lucina sounded somewhat excited.

“Trust me, Chen Ke, this isn’t a good idea, and to make things worse, Tang knows Lucina. She would always seize the opportunity to watch their races. I don’t know what would happen if she got caught…” Pihom shook his head.

“I assure you, Pi, he won’t find out it’s me who stole his car.” Lucina declared.

“I bet you actually want him to know it was you!” Pihom retorted, hands on his hips.

Lucina looked at Chen Ke, seemingly urging him to help.

“I don’t know, does Tang have a lot of clout? If we steal his car, will he retaliate against us?” Chen Ke inquired.

“Not really, Tang’s gang is just an underground racing group. They seem to do other stuff too. He’s magnanimous; even if he knew we stole his car, he wouldn’t seek revenge. But after that, Lucina can forget about going to their turf to watch the races.” Pihom explained.

Lucina leaned against the back of the sofa, silent, looking at Chen Ke and Pihom.

“I get it, then there’s no problem.” Chen Ke smiled.

“What do you mean?” Pihom asked, raising an eyebrow.

“We’ll just get Boss Tang’s car over here in a bit.” Chen Ke grinned, gestured to Lucina, and then turned to leave the safehouse.

Lucina smirked, clapped her hands, hopped off the sofa, and followed Chen Ke upstairs.

“Chen Ke! Lucina! Oh, f**k, that kid…” Pihom leaned on the table, shaking his head helplessly, then a few seconds later, he started laughing: “Reminds me of my younger days.”

Chen Ke and Lucina walked out of the gun shop, discussing their plan to steal the car, but before that, they needed to meet up with another partner.

“I’ve decided to call you Chen Ke from now on.” Lucina said with a laugh.

“That’s really great.” Chen Ke replied.

“Thanks for agreeing to help me, Chen Ke. I was actually about to give up just now.” Lucina sounded a bit embarrassed.

“Why has it got to be Tang’s car? Even if we’re going to steal one, shouldn’t we opt for an easier target?” Chen Ke asked.

“His car… oh, never mind, I just wanted to drive it, that’s all.” Lucina responded.

“Alright, I get it, you’re in fangirl mode now…” Chen Ke shook his head.

“Say what you want, Chen Ke. Let’s go meet up with my bestie first. She’s an excellent racer. After we get the car, the three of us will drive it back together. Don’t let us down.” Lucina said.

“Then let’s hurry, Lucina. I’m quite busy.” Chen Ke straightened his tie.

The pair hailed a taxi and rushed toward the Deep Anchor District in Opportunity City.
