Chapter 55. Unboxing Send Mei Zi

Du Shengtao’s battle with the burly men from the Dark Alliance was quite spectacular, and Lin Nuo had to take a couple of bites out of the Meat Floss Cake in his pocket.

But watching wasn’t the priority; he hurriedly opened the small warehouse door to bring the boxes inside.

The situation was urgent—there was a world war outside, and it wouldn’t be long before it came to his side, or someone might fire a wave of energy and poof, he’d be gone.

The princess hadn’t even been seen yet, and the fighting had already started, indicating these people must have been building up anger and hatred for a long time, with the princess incident serving as the catalyst for their great battle.

The two guys at the entrance were fighting like the other had killed their entire family, now worn out, they were just cursing at each other in Zaun.

Never mind—let’s open the boxes. Whatever can be taken, take it.

Lin Nuo took a small knife and neatly sliced open the box’s surface.

These contraband materials were extremely rare and difficult to obtain; the government was cracking down on them, and one could only buy them on the Black Market. If it weren’t for the Dark Alliance ring and badge he carried, he’d have to spend a hefty sum.

These were treasures he had endured hardships to bring back—let’s take a moment to appreciate them and soothe his terrible mood.

With high expectations, Lin Nuo opened the box, but then…

“Is it just me, or am I opening this box wrong?”

He closed the box and tried a different method.

The result was the same, so he tried other ways, even burning incense for a couple of sticks.

But still, the outcome remained unchanged.

“Damn it, am I seeing things? Did my contraband turn into a girl?!”

Inside the box lay a beautiful young girl, dressed in a simple floral dress, with smooth, fair skin and a naturally lovely face without heavy makeup.

She had her hands clasped in front of her chest, eyes closed, looking like a sleeping fairy.

Lin Nuo’s mind was racing with questions. While others were unboxing gold ingots, he was getting a girl?

He thought to himself that he hadn’t even upgraded to VIP, and that “Greedy Blue Moon” was truly fair. Free gold, the sunset is infinitely beautiful.

Plus, this girl felt strangely familiar.

Where were his things? Were they underneath her?

It’s possible; let’s lift her out first.

By the way, is this girl dead? Oh, wait, she’s breathing.

Lin Nuo reached down to lift the girl from the box, but as soon as he touched her, a current seemed to wrap around him, causing him to shiver and promptly pull his hand back.

“Wow, this is a theft prevention mechanism!”

Lin Nuo turned and stepped inside, pulled out a pair of gloves and some small tools. After a careful observation, he had an idea.

Without further ado, he went to work.

Before long, he successfully dismantled the mechanisms hidden inside the box.

In a direct confrontation, he wasn’t up to snuff, but disassembling something like this was a breeze.

This Black Market wasn’t very kind—only gave him a lock without any unlock techniques or passwords, and no after-sales service.

No choice but to take the lock apart.

A fragrant aroma wafted from the box, and Lin Nuo suddenly felt drowsy.

Is this… Sleep-Inducing Incense?

Just a whiff made him feel sleepy, no wonder the world war outside was raging yet she could sleep so deeply; he thought she might’ve kicked the bucket, or maybe she was a sleep deity.

The Sleep-Inducing Incense had begun to waft out from the box, and Lin Nuo immediately took out a homemade inhaler, pressed the button, and the crystal supplied spiritual power, sucking in all the incense.

Then, he smoothly transferred the Sleep-Inducing Incense into a small vial. This could be very useful; using it on the protagonist Su Kexin would knock her right out, and then, hey, anything could happen.

Great, taking that with me.

At this moment, the girl in the box slowly opened her eyes, stretched her arms in a cute little yawn like a kitten waking up, rubbing her eyes.

“Where am I?”

The girl found herself in a shabby little room, facing a boy who, although had a dark complexion with some scars, still appeared rather handsome—at least, he looked pleasant.

Lin Nuo suddenly realized that the cloth covering his mouth and nose had blown away, and now his face was fully visible to the girl.

Oh no, she saw what I look like! And with all these contraband magical items around, if she went out, she could expose everything!

No worries, just kill her to keep her quiet—dead men tell no tales.

“This is an abandoned little warehouse; I found a box on the road and brought it over, didn’t expect there to be a person inside.”

“Ah? I was in the box? How… cough cough…”

The girl coughed a couple of times, confused as to how she ended up in a box after waking up.

She looked down and indeed confirmed she was lying in a box; then she recalled she had been wandering the night market, right?

“Sir?”

The girl raised her head but found Lin Nuo was no longer in front of her.

At that moment, the villain named Lin was standing behind her, holding a knife aimed at her heart.

Good, before killing Su Kexin, let’s take care of you first.

Die!

Lin Nuo plunged the knife down, but just as the blade touched the girl’s back, a flash of white spirit light flickered, and the knife was directly knocked away.

What… is this? Could it be the long-lost Great Weitianlong?
