It's Not Easy to Be a Man After Travelling to the Future

Chapter 1288 - One Man Operation!

1288 One Man Operation!

“The origination of their funds have been successfully found. They are indeed from the Chaotic Lands.” Nowadays, other than small shops and stands on the streets, larger stores all scan communicators for payment. The job of these inspectors were to ensure that these funds were real in nature and came from unsuspicious origins.

“There are no issues with their identities. They are just wealthy people under the Frost Monarch’s faction and coming here as tourists,” said the chief of the inspection office after seeing there wasn’t anything wrong with the data they had gathered.

“Should we recall the people monitoring them?” The inspection office didn’t have that many manpower available to follow people around. There were too many people they needed to monitor. As long as people were deemed as not a problem, they would recall their men and transfer them to monitor more suspicious individuals.

“Let’s not recall all of them. Keep two and monitor them tomorrow.” The chief was still guarded against the Chaotic Lands, so he made the decision to monitor them for one more day just in case.

“Understood.” The staff member immediately gave out the orders to the inspectors in disguise and told them of the changes for tomorrow’s work.

After entering into their room, the oldest of the three youngsters began to inspect the room. It was as though he was trying to familiarize himself with the items in the room. The arrogant yet handsome youngest walked to the window and opened the curtains, looking at the scenery outside. The youngest slowly walked to the living room sofa and sat down.

The oldest seemed to have finished scanning and came beside the youngest as he shook his head slightly.

The one at the window returned almost at the same time and said softly, “There’s still two. The rest all left.”

The youngest, who originally had a sweet smile on his face, now had a chilling facial expression.

The outer appearances of the three of them suddenly changed. One became extremely beautiful, one became handsome and the last one became cold as ice.

The three of them were Li Lanfeng, Luo Lang and Ling Lan respectively.

Through reaching the realm of domain one would have slight control over the muscles and skin of their face. They could change their features temporarily, achieving a different look. However, the amount they could change was still limited. They couldn’t really change too much of their features.

Of course, there were special cases like Li Lanfeng. Even Ling Lan didn’t know how Li Lanfeng had changed his beautiful face into the face of an average Joe. This made Luo Lang, who couldn’t change his looks that much, become jealous of him.

Luo Lang had asked Li Lanfeng about his secret. However, Li Lanfeng only told him that he also didn’t know. It didn’t really take much on his part to turn himself into an average Joe.

Ling Lan carefully studied it and then came up with an explanation that Luo Lang understood.

It was because Li Lanfeng’s face was already perfect. All the parts, muscles and skin of the face were in perfect harmony. It could be said that it had already reached its limit. Thus, when that limit was changed slightly, it lost its harmony, completely destroying the balance of his face. That was why he suddenly had such average looks.

In reality, Ling Lan was also like this. When she restrained her aura, her looks would become incomparably beautiful. It was just that her type of beauty wasn’t the same as Li Lanfeng’s. In addition to her immature look and lack of stunning features, there was an added adorableness to her. It was also similarly at a limit of sorts. After changing it slightly, she also lost her beautiful colors, leaving her with only cuteness.

Perhaps Ling Lan’s cold and dominant side left too much of an impression on Luo Lang and Li Lanfeng. The two of them were actually oblivious of Ling Lan’s cute side. A chance to discover the truth was missed by them just like that.

“I already know where they are,” Ling Lan said calmly.

“Ah? When did you know Boss?” Luo Lang had a face of shock. Weren’t they just buying things in the store? Even when his sister went by him, he didn’t dare to have any change in expressions because of the inspectors behind them.

“It was Little White,” replied Li Lanfeng.

Li Lanfeng, who could also communicate with Little White using spiritual power, knew how Ling Lan was able to acquire that information.

“We can’t get into Planet General with our current identities. If we want to go there, we have to hide within Lingtian and let Qi Long and the others take us there,” replied Ling Lan.

Although Ling Lan couldn’t contact Little Four, she was still certain that the learning space was still in her mindspace. As long as the learning space was in her mind, she trusted that Little Four was fine.

One of the possible reasons she couldn’t contact Little Four could be that Little Four was injured and needed to recover in the learning space. It could also be because Little Four was evolving again so he temporarily separated himself off from her. Ling Lan thought of many reasons just to give herself confidence that Little Four would return to her.

Although Little Four was gone, there was still Little Seven. Ling Lan spoke with Little Seven on the 7th Bugle Call. Little Seven was clearly much more warm and talkative to Ling Lan than Tian Fang. It was also Little Seven who decrypted the mainframe and found the information that the Lingtian Independent Army was staying on Planet Xiagang.

If it wasn’t for the fact that Little Seven couldn’t be too far from its main body, Ling Lan really wanted to take Little Seven with her.

Now that they didn’t have Little Seven, they can only depend on themselves in the virtual world. Luckily, Li Lanfeng could be considered half of a hacker even though he wasn’t as invincible as Little Four or be able to be like Little Seven and easily decrypt a mainframe. He was still more than enough when it came to those hard-to-detect surveillance equipment.

They were originally planning to get close to the base of the Lingtian Independent Army and use their spiritual power to call out to Little White. They didn’t think that they’d be so lucky to actually pass by Luo Chao and Han Xuya on the same commercial street they were on right after they arrived in Sand City. What was even better was that they had brought Little White. This allowed Ling Lan to easily contact Little White and receive the information she needed.

“However, the base Qi Long and the others are resting at is heavily guarded. Boss, your spiritual power was severely affected and you temporarily lost your hacking abilities. Using just brother Lanfeng’s power to silently infiltrate is pretty much impossible.” The base wasn’t a hotel that could let Li Lanfeng easily cut off all surveillance. As long as Li Lanfeng missed one surveillance equipment, they would be completely exposed.

“I will go by myself tomorrow night. You guys wait for me here,” Ling Lan said coldly.

“That...” Luo Lang was just about to say it was too dangerous, but Ling Lan shot a chilling glare towards him, forcing his words to be stuck in his throat.

Boss in the past few weeks revealed some of his weak side because of General Ling Xiao. His originally heavy and dominant pressure also weakened by quite a lot. In addition, in order to respect Tian Fang and the other crew members (after all, they worked under Ling Xiao and wasn’t part of Ling Lan’s crew), Boss’s tone was more peaceful than normal and he would calmly discuss everything to them. It almost made him forget that Boss was a dominant, invincible and unreasonable person.

However, as time went by after they left the 7th Bugle Call, in addition to Tian Fang and the others not being present, Ling Lan’s dominant presence slowly returned. Just from that look, he saw Boss from the past who would give out orders without the need for any explanations.
