"Danger?" Jiang Siqi was stunned, "Chief, she made sure to demonstrate her ability by jumping to the middle of the river to avoid accidental harm..."

Although she called the other party a super influencer, the reality is that the other party is only famous enough but hasn’t taken the opportunity to step into the streaming industry. People don’t even know her name; there are posts everywhere searching for "White-clothed Immortal." If she announces her streaming sessions on a platform, her daily earnings from tips would probably break others’ monthly records.

To someone like this, Jiang Siqi wouldn’t even feel jealous, because the gap is just too big.

Moreover, she genuinely liked such a person... because "White-clothed Immortal" is the image of a hero in her mind, stunning everyone at first sight and then waving goodbye gracefully, returning to her ordinary life. In the face of enormous benefits, she remains unmoved, silently receiving the world’s praises.

She couldn’t believe someone with such noble qualities could be a dangerous Ability User.

"I can’t explain it to you now, just follow orders!" Honglian said hurriedly while taking out her phone.

In Honglian’s eyes, a terrifying truth was gradually emerging.

Though no evidence has been found, the Sha River incident — Masked Woman’s battle declaration — Botanical Garden erosion event, these three events are almost interconnected, slamming the existence of Superpower Users in front of the masses, shaking the world’s perception in almost no time. If they occurred a month or even weeks apart, the Dimensional Limit Mechanism’s logistics team wouldn’t be caught so off guard. Considering the Masked Woman’s familiarity with the Mechanism, Honglian had speculated before that they were all in cahoots.

If this deduction is true, the situation is now even worse.

Masked Woman, Flesh Man, White-clothed Immortal, and including the Demon mentioned by Elorie, almost all of them might be Wanderers!

Not to mention the Jiang City division, no other Mechanism division has encountered such a situation!

Wanderers spontaneously formed an alliance, isn’t that dangerous enough?

Thinking of these guys secretly meeting, plotting a shady grand plan, she felt a chill up her spine!

This is not an ordinary group of Wanderers anymore, a heavy blow is needed.

So the first person Honglian called was not Xiao’s squad, nor Wang Qianduan, but directly the commander, Xiao Canong.

...

Half an hour ago.

"Is this the place to buy excavators?" Liu Shuyue got out of the car and curiously looked around — this is a city closely linked to Chen Xuan, she had always been full of curiosity about this place. Last time, she witnessed the city’s grandeur and magnificence to coordinate his performance, and now with another chance to explore personally, she was quite happy.

"Yes. You can choose the model yourself, the configuration, and even have a chance to sit and try driving." Chen Xuan said with a smile.

Liu Shuyue came looking for him for a simple reason—the method of searching using the Smoke Soul Pillar worked. The villagers found over ten Spiritual Qi absorption points within Building 99, which looked like candlesticks or stone steles from the outside. However, no matter how much Spiritual Qi was poured in, these strange devices showed no reaction.

Then she thought of the Immortal Alliance.

The cultists in the Immortal Alliance are far less adept with spells compared to her, but their research and application of Spiritual Qi tools are quite extensive; consulting them might yield new ideas. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

Chen Xuan certainly didn’t mind sending her back to old Chang’an or old Paris, but he also noticed Liu Shuyue was genuinely exhausted. Probably to quickly unravel the secrets of Wanshan Wilderness, while covering up her inner confusion about the Lotus Cloud Sect, she likely hadn’t slept well for a while. Despite the robust physique of a Cultivator, she ended up with dark circles and bloodshot eyes, demonstrating the intensity of her work.

So Chen Xuan forcibly gave her a holiday.

First, let her sleep well in the shop, then take her out the next day to choose the long-desired excavator. Buying stuff is just a bonus; he’s mainly looking to bring her out to relax, to prevent her from being overwhelmed.

Originally, he wanted to invite Lin Qing along, but she insisted on staying at the shop to oversee it, her work attitude was deeply moving.

Jiang City has no lack of engineering machinery factories, such as Five Rings Heavy Industries, considered quite a reputable company in the country.

Coming here to buy an excavator is like going to a car dealership to buy a car. He called and checked, the company has dedicated personal client sales staff to accompany the clients.

Just entering the company’s reception hall’s door, the appointed salesperson eagerly approached, "Mr. Chen, hello, I’m Jiang. What size excavator are you interested in buying? We have many styles to choose from."

"I’m not sure, why don’t you introduce them?"

"Alright, please follow me."

Outside the reception hall, there’s a spacious area where many engineering machines are displayed, including concrete pump trucks, cranes, tipper trucks... and of course, excavators of various sizes.

There are quite a few people here to see them too.

"Your business is good." Chen Xuan remarked.

"This is considered few; after all, in two months, it’ll be the New Year." The salesperson laughed, "Are you buying one for self-use?"

"Sort of." He answered vaguely.

"That’s great. Is this your girlfriend? She’s really beautiful."

"Uh..." Chen Xuan was momentarily at a loss for words.

Liu Shuyue, however, calmly smiled at him, "Thank you."

Oh, she probably doesn’t know the actual meaning of the word ’girlfriend’.

He coughed twice, changing the topic, "Let’s talk about excavators first."

"Sure, Mr. Chen, you see, these are all standard crawler excavators. W is the model, and the number following it is the tonnage; the larger the number, the more soil one scoop can dig." The salesperson immediately switched to professional mode. "To take on construction site jobs, you should at least choose the W200 model. If it’s for digging your own orchard or pond, the W100 model will suffice..."

"How big is the largest one?"

"W350, 35-ton class." Jiang pointed to a giant at the edge of the field, noticeably larger than the other excavators. "...Individuals rarely buy this because it’s relatively pricey."

Chen Xuan noticed that Liu Shuyue’s eyes were fixed on the excavator, unable to look away.

Indeed, bigger is better!

"Let’s start by looking at this one. Give us a detailed introduction." He said promptly.

Just as the three were examining the W350 from all angles, Chen Xuan’s phone suddenly rang. It was Lin Qing calling.

"Hello? Are you regretting not going out shopping?"

"Regret what? I detected some activity on the Dimensional Limit Mechanism. Your solo idol has also taken action, and the target seems to be a Wanderer." Lin Qing rolled her eyes. "I’m tracking her position right now."

"A Wanderer?" Chen Xuan furrowed his brow slightly, becoming serious immediately. "Is it the incident you mentioned?"

"Not quite. From their conversation, it seems to be a practical task specifically set for newcomers, and the Mechanical Officer didn’t mention any discovery of an intrusion point. You know, this kind of eavesdropping can only record sounds within half a meter of Jiang Siqi, or else it gets easily detected if the power is too high."

"If it has nothing to do with the intrusion point, then we don’t need to worry about them."

"Yeah, I’m just letting you know. You leave the monitoring to me, and you just accompany Liu Shuyue." Lin Qing added, "I’ll share the location with you soon, so you’ll know where Jiang Siqi is."

"Okay." After Chen Xuan hung up, the introduction of the excavator was also nearly finished.

"So, does this meet your requirements?" He looked at Liu Shuyue.

She leaned in closer and whispered, "It’s nice, even better than the one I saw online, but she said it’s very expensive."

"It’s okay; we have money now."

"Really? I haven’t even paid off the rent..."

Chen Xuan was momentarily stunned, then couldn’t help but laugh, "That was paid off long ago. Don’t I take Pill from Hot Pepper Village every month? The money made from selling those is enough for you to live in my shop for a lifetime. Buying a few excavators is no big deal now."

"Really? That’s great." Liu Shuyue seemed relieved and didn’t even ask how much the Pills sold for. "Then I want to buy five for the village first."

The price of five large excavators is definitely not a small amount, but worst-case scenario, he could just supply more to Beitian Academy.

Chen Xuan turned to ask the salesperson, "How much is this model per unit?"

"1.35 million, including a set of buckets and a pickaxe."

"Is there a discount for buying five units?"

The other party exclaimed in surprise, "Five units? Aren’t you buying it for yourself?"

"I also have friends who want them. They asked me to take a look, and if I like them, they’ll purchase too."

The salesperson’s eyes immediately lit up!

Initially, when she saw Chen Xuan, she hadn’t taken this young guy seriously. Bringing customers around also had performance targets, so whether they bought or not, she was happy to accommodate.

Who knew he’d talk about five units right off the bat!

For personal buyers, this is definitely considered a big order.

"Yes, yes, we can discuss it in the reception hall. It’s quite cold here." The salesperson beamed with a smile.

"Wait, I asked before when making an appointment; you also offer test drive services, right?"

"Yes, do you want to test drive?"

"Not me, she does." Chen Xuan pointed to Liu Shuyue.

"Your girlfriend?" The salesperson was surprised again. "Can she operate an excavator?"

"It’s not a real test drive... I just want her to feel the operation and charm of the excavator." Chen Xuan said carelessly, "For example, how to control those levers, how to start the machine. A brief guide on these should be fine, right?"

"No problem," the salesperson agreed readily. For a customer buying five units, having the company’s excavator driver accompany them for an experience is no big deal. "I’ll go arrange the test driver for you now."
