World of Superpowers: Kill monsters to explode skills

35: Grilled Crab”How did you know I was the one delivering the goods?”

Shi Yan asked another question. The reason he had suspected Jing Yi earlier was because she had opened the door for him too quickly after he rang the bell, as if she had already known he was coming.

Moreover, after opening the door, there wasn’t a trace of surprise in her eyes when she looked at him. He had to admit, his current looks were, if not the absolute best, certainly top-tier.

It wasn’t narcissism; generally, the opposite sex would show at least some shock or surprise the first time they saw him.

A flicker of hesitation crossed Jing Yi’s face before she slowly replied to Shi Yan, ”Because Tian Song sent me your picture.”

”Hmm? Be more specific.”

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow, his mind forming several conjectures, and urged Jing Yi to elaborate.

Jing Yi collected her thoughts and began to explain slowly.

”There are many transport companies here. To ensure we all place orders with him, whenever a new delivery person arrives on his side, he randomly assigns them and then sends us the photo of the confirmed courier.”

”But Master, this is my first time purchasing. Someone recommended it to me. I’ve never actually eaten a human before.”

After speaking, Jing Yi nervously glanced at Shi Yan, fearing he might be angry that they treated humans as commodities for trade.

Shi Yan’s face maintained a faint smile, making it impossible for her to guess what he was thinking.

”Heh.”

Shi Yan merely chuckled lightly upon hearing this.

So, the so-called ”goods” were actually players like themselves. Using delivery as a pretext, they tricked the ”goods” into delivering themselves to designated locations. What top-tier unscrupulous capitalists.

By doing this, they not only avoided paying the players’ wages but also earned money twice over—once from the transport fee and again from selling the players.

It seemed humans in the Magic World were truly at the bottom, the lowest rung of the food chain, no different from pigs and sheep in a slaughterhouse.

After learning this, Shi Yan only felt a slight pang of melancholy. He didn’t feel any anger or resentment; the law of the jungle was the same everywhere.

However, Shi Yan was quite displeased that Tian Song had sold him as merchandise. He decided that once he gained enough strength, he would come back and finish him off.

”Master, do you have any other questions?”

Seeing that Shi Yan wasn’t angry, Jing Yi relaxed and continued asking.

Inwardly, Jing Yi thought Shi Yan was truly cold-blooded. Seeing his own kind traded like chickens and dogs, he showed no emotion whatsoever, deepening her fear of him.

”How exactly was the picture you mentioned sent to you?”

Shi Yan asked curiously.

”Master, your picture was sent via a small teleportation array.”

Jing Yi pointed to the room opposite the bedroom, indicating the small teleportation array was inside.

”What’s in your bedroom? So eager for me to go in?”

Shi Yan looked at Jing Yi with a smile.

Jing Yi’s face paled in alarm, and she said anxiously, ”Master, that room is surrounded by a Soul Confusion Array. Anyone with low soul strength who touches the array will immediately fall unconscious.”

Shi Yan nodded thoughtfully. Good thing he was cautious enough, or he might have really been caught off guard. After all, his physical attributes were high, but his soul attributes weren’t.

”I’m leaving now. Is there any way for me to see you immediately if needed?”

Shi Yan’s face still wore a faint smile as he asked casually, but a closer look at his eyes revealed a flash of icy killing intent.

Jing Yi also noticed that fleeting glint of murderous intent. Gritting her teeth, she retrieved a round glass sphere emitting a pure white light from her chest.

”Master, this is my Teleportation Crystal. You can use this crystal to communicate with me and summon me to your side at any time.”

This time, Jing Yi seemed genuinely resigned. She held out the Teleportation Crystal with both hands to Shi Yan, who only accepted it after scanning it with his system.

[Teleportation Crystal (Jing Yi)]

[Can communicate with the person on the other side via the Teleportation Crystal. Can summon the person on the other side to your location at any time. Usage Count: Unlimited]

Seeing the Teleportation Crystal, Shi Yan nodded in satisfaction. With something like this, things were easier. He had originally considered whether to silence Jing Yi.

”Alright, stand up. What’s in this box?”

Shi Yan walked over, opened the box, and looked inside. It was filled with deep black stones.

”Master, these are Coldfrost Stones sold by Tian Song. They contain a slight chill and can be resold to other ghosts who need them.”

Jing Yi stood up and followed behind Shi Yan.

”So, you don’t have a son or anything like that?”

Shi Yan glanced at Jing Yi.

”Master, that was just a lie I made up. Of course, I don’t have a son. I’m still a virgin.”

Jing Yi struck a pose behind him, and coupled with her decent figure, it was quite a pleasing sight.

”Alright, I’m leaving now. Handle everything here yourself.”

Shi Yan retracted his Blood Tattooed Transformation, turned, and walked out of the room.

This trip had gained him a slave and some understanding of this Magic World. All in all, not bad. Next, he still had to deliver the second package.

This time, Shi Yan didn’t take the elevator downstairs but instead took the staircase next to it.

The staircase in this building wasn’t much different from those in the real world. After descending, he walked out the main door.

Once outside, Shi Yan looked around. The sky was still bright, and there weren’t many people around, except for a large red crab squatting to the right.

”Hmm?”

Shi Yan raised an eyebrow upon seeing the crab. Why was this crab still here? Could it be looking for him?

The red crab also noticed Shi Yan at that moment, its antenna-like eyes moving from side to side.

”You, why didn’t you come out sooner?”

The crab’s square mouth opened and closed.

”Don’t move. Let me take a good look to see if you’re really human.”

The crab’s voice grew deeper.

”Don’t be afraid. It’ll be over soon.”

After speaking, the crab shifted sideways, its thin legs thrashing wildly as it charged straight at Shi Yan, its large claws swinging haphazardly.

Shi Yan looked at the ’Lv10’ above its head expressionlessly.

When the crab had closed enough distance, Shi Yan directly activated his Sun Shadow Field. A wave of scorching heat radiated outward from him.

”Ah! What is this?”

The crab screeched in pain from the heat of the Sun Shadow Field. Steam rose from its body as it desperately tried to retreat, but several of its thin legs had already been pierced and severed by black spikes at some point.

Though its legs were broken and it couldn’t move, it still had its claws. It struggled to swing them, trying to escape the scorching area, but with two swift *whooshing* sounds,

its only remaining movable claws were also pierced and severed.

”Ah! You human, how dare you? I was wrong! I was wrong! You’re not human...”

The crab managed to curse a few times at first, but its voice grew fainter until it fell completely silent.

Shi Yan reached out and touched the light blue crystal that had dropped from the crab. A warm current flowed into his body.

Soon, waves of fragrance wafted from the crab’s body. Shi Yan sniffed slightly.

”Smells good.”

Shi Yan commented lightly. He walked over, picked up one of the crab claws, and began munching on it as he headed toward the parking area.

”The texture is good too.”

A faint comment drifted from the direction of Shi Yan’s already distant figure.
