["Ah?"]
Hu Chan was a little confused, ["If not at the edge of the safe zone, then where are we searching? We can't possibly, for the sake of a small god, dive deep outside the safe zone, right?"]
Qin Siyang neither confirmed nor denied.
'Nonsense, if we don't dive deep outside the safe zone, how can we quickly solve the offering problem?'
"I'll send you the meeting address, it's very close to your 8th district. Hurry and set off, wait for me there."
In order to obtain the Titan Foxtail inner-leaf fragment, Hu Chan could only agree.
["Fine. But let's say this clearly, no matter how your god hunt turns out this time, I count it as accompanying you once. You must give me that Titan Foxtail inner-leaf fragment."]
"Rest assured, I'm the dignified vice president of the Zhao Chamber of Commerce, would I lie to you?"
["That's not certain. Back then you snatched my Vine Heart, I still haven't forgotten."]
Qin Siyang didn't agree with Hu Chan's words, "Holy Son, what you just said is a bit heartless."
"At that time, do I need to remind you? I was just standing there properly, you provoked the Vine Heart and dragged it over to me, then after seeing me, you insisted on saying I had to die."
"And the result? I didn't die, and conveniently obtained the Vine Heart. Can that count as me snatching it?"
"At most it counts as opportunism."
Hu Chan snorted angrily, ["Always full of crooked reasoning, I can't be bothered to argue with you."]
"If you can't be bothered, then don't. You and I are too eye-catching inside the safe zone, let's meet outside. I'll send you coordinates, can you find the exact spot?"
["Mm, I can, I have a way to locate."]
Qin Siyang's lips curled, "Alright, I'll send it in a bit. Woohoo!" [T/N: That's the sound Hu Chan made when he was running away from Vine Core during their first meeting.]
Beep! Beep! Beep!
Maybe Hu Chan originally wanted to say a few more words.
But that "woohoo" made him not want to speak another word to Qin Siyang.
It directly made him recall the most humiliating, most painful memories.
Killing the body and stabbing the heart.
Qin Siyang shook his head, "Truly can't take a joke."
He opened the map, picked a coordinate, and sent it to Hu Chan.
Hu Chan looked at the message on his phone, eyes wide, and immediately called Qin Siyang back.
"Hey, didn't you just hang up? What now?"
["No… Qin Siyang, this coordinate you sent me, are you serious?"]
"Why wouldn't I be serious?"
["You didn't mark the wrong place?"]
"You're making me almost doubt myself. Let me check again, wait… no mistake, that's the place."
["Qin Siyang, are you out of your mind?"]
On the other end Hu Chan instantly blew up, ["To kill a small god, you set a place thirty kilometers from the safe zone?"]
["Are you trying to kill a small god or a medium one?"]
Qin Siyang impatiently snapped, "That's our meeting spot! You think we'd leave right in front of the safe zone gates, with thousands of sequence ability users watching?"
"Do you know how many people want to kill me? If I expose myself rashly, would I still be alive?"
"Not to mention others, even you want to kill me!"
"Of course I need to pick a secluded place to meet!"
On the other end Hu Chan fell silent for a moment.
Felt that Qin Siyang's words seemed reasonable.
Not only were there many people who wanted to kill Qin Siyang.
There were also many people who wanted to kill him, the Holy Son.
The Zephyr Church drew too much attention, rivals were enemies.
Both openly and secretly, other churches all wished for the Zephyr Church World to fall into chaos.
So his whereabouts were also highly concealed.
One had to admit, Qin Siyang's consideration was indeed cautious and thorough.
Hu Chan said, ["Alright then. But the place we hunt the god isn't thirty kilometers from the safe zone, right?"]
"Of course that won't be where we hunt."
["You won't trick me, will you?"]
"How could I? If I ever really hunt gods thirty kilometers from the safe zone, then you can be my godfather."
Hu Chan thought it over.
Qin Siyang, though a hated scoundrel, was still a person of some standing.
Whether in the forums or in reality, he had quite a bit of attention.
For something he promised, he probably wouldn't actually go back on it.
Moreover, to prevent him from reneging, Hu Chan had prepared a backup.
He turned off the recorder next to him.
["That's good. Qin Siyang, just now I recorded our conversation. I hope I won't need to bring it out to accuse you of breaking the deal."]
He directly revealed he had a recording, partly to intimidate Qin Siyang.
But Qin Siyang wasn't fazed at all, "Go ahead and record, no problem at all. What I say, I won't go back on."
["Then we meet at the coordinates."]
"See you."
After hanging up, Qin Siyang's lips curled upward.
What a joke.
Of course it wouldn't be thirty kilometers from the safe zone.
That close to the safe zone, with strong sequence ability users hunting all around, how could there be any gods left.
Crowded places, you're drinking thin porridge. Less crowded places, you get both meat and vegetables. No one around, you feast on a buffet.
That's the unchanging truth of all industries.
Applied to god-hunting as well, Qin Siyang deeply believed it.
He still had to go a hundred kilometers away from the safe zone, closer to nature, to find truly rich resources.
Qin Siyang filled up the drill cabin with fuel, smeared the potion Li Tianming gave him onto the Fangtian Halberd, then headed to [Miracle Building].
Lu Daoxing arranged a hidden spot for him, convenient for slipping away unnoticed.
After bidding farewell to Lu Daoxing, Qin Siyang entered the drill cabin and dove underground.
Following the coordinate navigation, he drove all the way in.
Since it was his first time driving by himself, Qin Siyang was more cautious, not going full speed.
Instead, he drove while adapting, familiarizing himself with the various control panels and buttons.
Although in his past life Qin Siyang hadn't learned to drive.
Driving this drill cabin wasn't difficult for him.
"Small little drill cabin, piece of cake."
But the novelty soon wore off.
Around him was endless darkness, dull and monotonous.
Before long, Qin Siyang was yawning nonstop.
He glanced at the map.
It would take about two more days to reach the coordinates.
"Too slow."
He set autopilot, planning to nap.
But then thought again.
Autopilot was a bit too slow.
So he tied the accelerator down with a strip of cloth, flooring it completely.
Watching the estimated arrival time, it dropped straight to just over one day.
Perfect, pedal floored, space freed up to stretch his legs. After reclining the seat, he could lie flat to sleep.
Qin Siyang nodded with satisfaction.
Comfortably put on his eye mask and dozed off.
For over a day, the drill cabin sped at full throttle.
Qin Siyang either slept, ate, or scrolled his phone, ignoring everything else.
Occasionally he'd stop, open the cabin door, and relieve himself.
This kind of lifestyle rhythm was utterly decadent.
If he had parents, they'd surely scold him for being unmotivated, self-indulgent.
But he was an orphan.
So, no one scolded him.
The only feeling he had right now was the most primal one.
The more decadent, the happier.
