Chapter 13 The Handsome Surveillance Officer

Xiao Zhengjun crouched behind the sofa, his face serious: "Master Zhou, are there still enemies?"

Zhou Zheng looked around: "That's all."

If it's a malicious enemy, you'll see their crimson health bar. Secondly, when you're specifically looking at something, you'll also see the health bars of nearby objects. And generally, you'll first see the name or brief information above someone's head.

There are no enemies around now, at least not within my perception range.

Xiaoxue peeked out from behind the sofa, her mouth agape: "Wow! Slurp slurp!"

Zhou Zheng was completely confused: "What are you slurping about?"

Xiao Xinshi stood up, his eyes lighting up: "Master Zhou has quite a good physique!"

Zhou Zheng was stunned, then looked down and said, "What's wrong with it? It's just... Oh my god! My clothes!"

It was obvious that the cheap clothes he bought from a street vendor were not resistant to the Five Thunderbolts. He had been so focused on the battle that he hadn't realized it until the lightning dissipated and he saw that his clothes had been burned with one large hole after another by the Five Thunderbolts of Demon Slaying. The edges of the holes were still glowing red and burning. His clothes had been reduced to rags, revealing his muscles.

Zhou Zheng is a homebody, but also a light-weight, athletic type of homebody. His reason for exercising is simple: to ensure he has enough energy for intense gaming battles.

As we all know, good health is the foundation for high-intensity gaming.

So my physique is pretty good. Plus, I've been practicing the Rejuvenation Technique and the Dragon Soaring Sword Technique recently, so my body is more muscular than before, and I look quite pleasing to the eye.

Zhou Zheng was so frightened that he hurriedly took off his clothes and threw them on the ground, stomping out the sparks with his feet: "Wait, wait, wait! Master Xuan! How did you manage to prevent the Five Thunderbolts from burning your clothes?!"

Xuan Yizi: "Um, if you don't release it close to your body, you should wear a specially crafted robe. But under normal circumstances, when we can release the Five Thunderbolts, we don't encounter this problem."

Zhang Xuanqing nodded: "Yes, in your case, it's like you've used pure internal force to unleash the Five Thunderbolts. Next time, limit it to the sword itself, or keep your distance and don't use it at close range. Although it's more powerful that way, it's easy to... burn your clothes."

Xiaoxue's eyes lit up: "Wow! Master Zhou has such a great physique!"

Xiao Xinshi poked his daughter's head hard with his finger: "Go to your father's room and get Master Zhou a shirt, hurry up."

Xiaoxue got up reluctantly, looking back several times before running up the stairs.

Zhou Zheng, shirtless, felt rather helpless. He had no choice but to put the Demon-Slaying Dragon Sword on the table and rubbed his muscles. He had to admit that the combination of the Rejuvenation Technique and the Dragon Sword Technique was indeed very effective.

"Ta-da..."

Xiaoxue came downstairs excitedly with a black shirt in her hand, grinning as she ran over and handed it to him: "Master Zhou, why don't you try this on?"

Zhou Zheng took it and raised an eyebrow as he watched Xiaoxue staring intently at him.

Xiaoxue continued to admire it.

Xiaoxin pulled his daughter over and made her turn around, while looking at her with great interest.

Zhang Xuanqing chuckled: "That's quite a figure. There aren't many young people these days as diligent as Master Zhou."

Zhou Zheng was speechless. He turned his back to everyone and put on his shirt, saying, "There are plenty of those in the gym."

After putting it on, Zhou Zheng adjusted it. It fit well in general, but he didn't know if Xiaoxue was doing it on purpose, but he felt that the shirt was quite thin and a bit too revealing.

Zhou Zheng raised an eyebrow, turned around, and ignored Xiaoxue's eager gaze: "Master Zhang, your ritual is no good either. They can even fly down from the sky and attack us."

This ritual was quite valuable, but Master Zhang didn't seem to take it seriously.

Zhang Xuanqing was both amused and exasperated: "If we were lying in our bedrooms, sitting in our studies, or even soaking in the bathroom right now, we wouldn't be in any trouble. But we're sitting in the living room, and there's me, my junior brother, and you all here. I just don't understand why he would dare to send evil spirits to attack us."

Who could have imagined this? Among those present were the abbot of a Taoist temple and a practitioner of thunder magic talismans. Anyone with a brain would never release an evil spirit.

But the reality is that he let it go.

The chubby bodyguard said in the video call, "He's not a local; he looks like a wild monkey from out in the wild."

Xiao Zhengjun's face darkened: "Wild monkeys? Smuggled in?"

Zhou Zheng looked slightly surprised, but he could probably understand what was going on. He looked at Zhang Xuanqing and Xuan Yizi.

Zhang Xuanqing nodded: "It's possible they're those guys outside who practice evil magic. That makes things interesting. They wanted to use evil magic to harm Miss Xiaoxue and achieve some kind of goal. But they ran into Master Zhou."

Encountering a Taoist priest is bad enough, but encountering a genuine practitioner of thunder magic is even worse. And not only that, but he's a ruthless individual who's purely driven by conviction, forcefully conjuring up Five Thunder Talismans with his bare hands.

This is as absurd as a murderer trying to kill someone, only to be confronted by a top-tier soldier with a gun to his head the moment he steps outside. It would be perfectly normal for that evil cultivator to be scared to death on the spot.

Zhou Zheng was also confused about the intricacies of the situation, so he shrugged and said, "I'll leave this to you guys. Xiaoxue, let's go over there and play some games."

Xiaoxue's face lit up with joy: "Huh? Now?"

Zhou Zheng: "Now, but before that, let's study the strategy together. I'll look at the Clear Stream Cake, and you look at the Composite Sub-individual."

Qingliu Cake and Composite Individual are both bloggers for Stellaris, and they frequently post strategy guides. Zhou Zheng usually copies their guides.

Xiaoxue happily carried her gaming laptop to the bedroom in the corner, drew the curtains to block out the light, and sat down at the desk to open the gaming laptop.

Zhou Zheng sat on the edge of the bed, plugged in his gaming laptop, and excitedly opened the game.

Since things have come to this, let's make a move.

Everyone watched in stunned silence as these two amazing players simply ran off to play games together.

Xiao Zhengjun rubbed his temples, suppressing his anger: "Where are the security cameras? Let me check them."

Xiao Xinshi handed over the phone: "Here, I've set it all up for you."

Xiao Zhengjun clicked play and watched with a frown.

Zhang Xuanqing and Xuan Yizi exchanged a glance, then stepped forward and peeked out.

Seeing this, Xiaoxinshi had no choice but to lean against her husband's shoulder to make room for everyone.

In the video, Zhou Zheng was indeed almost flying. Holding the Demon-Slaying Dragon Sword, he angrily stomped on the sofa and slashed fiercely at the air. A cloud of black mist was forced to reveal itself. Just as the Demon-Slaying Dragon Sword was about to miss, lightning transformed into a long, thin lightning dragon and crashed into the black mist, killing it instantly.

After landing, Zhou Zheng looked up, his eye sockets turning blue and white. His right arm was wrapped in lightning, and the Five Thunder Talisman flashed and merged into his palm. Lightning surged on the Demon-Slaying Sword, and streaks of lightning left the sword, outlining a rough, semi-transparent lightning dragon shape behind Zhou Zheng, glaring angrily at the direction of the grove together with the swordsman.

The furious, rough, transparent thunder dragon shape swelled to almost three meters tall, poised to charge out and slay demons at any moment.

Then came the most exciting moment. Zhou Zheng, who had been furious, instantly calmed down, stared at the grove of trees, and slowly retreated with his sword in hand, without showing any unnecessary anger.

The most ingenious thing is that because the Thunder Dragon Form was always following behind Zhou Zheng, he himself did not even notice it. He could only see the lightning on his arm being greatly enhanced.

Xiao Zhengjun pressed pause, looked up at the young man who was having a great time playing games with his daughter in the side bedroom: "Interesting, he gets angry easily, and he doesn't get angry easily either."

Most people get carried away by their emotions when they're angry, but Zhou Zheng's anger is spontaneous and not driven by rage. Once he senses that the situation has changed, his anger naturally flows to his core. He calmly observes the situation with his sword, and even acts decisively, sending others out without hesitation to carry out deadly missions.
