Chapter 170: Teasing

You expect a superior being to be merciful?

That was absolutely impossible. Shao Weiguo’s recent loss of composure was merely due to this absurd situation. A calm Shao Weiguo was not someone to be dealt with easily. How could one of the three major power houses in the city gain the respect of their subordinates without iron-fisted methods? Strength was definitely one factor, but ruthlessness was equally necessary.

Compared to the other two powerhouses, Shao Weiguo was actually considered decent. This was because Shao Weiguo dealt with Fierce Beasts. The other two, one was the Supreme Commander and City Lord, and the other was the Law Enforcer, responsible for the entire city’s security. Countless people had died at the hands of the Law Enforcer; he was definitely a figure that made people tremble.

Compared to them, Shao Weiguo was indeed considered a pushover.

In other words, if Shao Weiguo was not a Fifth Stage gene warrior, he would either serve as a subordinate gene warrior to others, or he would be eaten until not even his bones were left.

Even in a seemingly peaceful city, undercurrents were surging. Just like a famous saying goes: where there are people, there is a world of martial arts; where there is a world of martial arts, there is conflict. It was just that in the Fierce Beast Era, everything was based on strength. Conspiracy and trickery were only auxiliary means. When facing a powerful gene warrior, people generally did not want to calculate against their displayed strength. Otherwise, if things were exposed, what else could one do but be blasted to pieces by the enraged gene warrior?

Although Shao Weiguo was not as sharp-tongued as the other two, it did not mean he was weak. Who did not have a temper?

Possessing exceptional abilities, that temptation to control life and death, to manipulate everything, was irresistible to anyone. Naturally, while ruling such a huge population city, one’s character would inevitably corrupt, indulging in such pleasures.

Gazing at this young man in front of him who might possess special abilities, Shao Weiguo’s mind was tangled, greed shining in his eyes.

Zhou Liming certainly saw the greed in Shao Weiguo’s eyes. He smiled faintly and said, “If you have nothing else to do, I will leave now.” He pulled the Pig Beast’s ear, and the Pig Beast immediately turned its head. The other Pig Beasts also followed suit and turned around.

Shao Weiguo was still thinking about how to recruit this young man to his side. Seeing Zhou Liming wanted to leave, he would not let him go so easily. After flashing a smile, he said enthusiastically, “Young brother, don’t be in such a hurry. That was just a misunderstanding earlier. Haha, raising pigs is not easy nowadays. Without some food, you cannot afford to raise them.”

“Who says we cannot afford to raise them?” Zhou Liming pointed to the golden, unharvested rice fields all around and said, “Look, there is enough food here for them to eat for a long time.”

Shao Weiguo’s face almost collapsed. So, this pig herding kid thought this place was a pig farm?

He chuckled dryly and said, “These grains belong to us. Without our consent, they cannot be eaten casually. This concerns the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of people in the city.” His eyes rolled, and he smiled: “However, if you are willing to follow me and help me raise this group of pigs, that is not a problem.” He laughed to himself: “Heh heh, once he becomes my man, aren’t these pigs just going to be on my plate?”

Zhou Liming pretended to be surprised: “Ah, you want me to be your subordinate?” He shook his head, and Zhou Liming smiled cheekily: “I’m afraid you are not qualified enough, are you?”

Shao Weiguo narrowed his eyes. He had already judged that Zhou Liming was just an ordinary person who somehow acquired the ability to drive these Pig Beasts. As for this group of Pig Beasts, Shao Weiguo did not take them seriously. As a Fifth Stage gene warrior, his defense could not be broken by these Pig Beasts. As long as he wanted to, a few Form Skill attacks could eliminate this group of Pig Beasts.

Hearing Zhou Liming’s words, Shao Weiguo became somewhat annoyed, and his voice became much colder: “Not qualified enough, young man? So, who do you think is qualified?”

Zhou Liming acted as if he was thinking. After a long while, he shook his head and said, “In this world, no one has this qualification.”

Shao Weiguo figured it out. Damn it, this guy was treating him like a monkey to be played with. His expression changed, and he said in a low voice, “What is your purpose in coming here? Let me tell you, this is not a place for you to run wild.”

Zhou Liming still had that cheeky smile. He pointed at the group of Pig Beasts and said, “Of course, I came to sell pigs. Otherwise, why would I come here?”

“Sell pigs?”

Shao Weiguo felt that his thinking could not keep up with the other’s jumpy logic. Selling Level Three Fierce Beasts? That was truly crazy. Even he did not dare to buy them. These things were not so easy to handle. When they went crazy, they could demolish reinforced concrete buildings. Were Pig Beasts really so easy to raise?

Perhaps sensing that the situation here was somewhat strange, a car rushed out of the city and came to this spot. Seven or eight Super Warriors jumped down from it.

Now anyone could see that Zhou Liming was teasing them. It was obvious that he came to cause trouble.

Shao Weiguo was somewhat annoyed. Regarding this strange young man, he still retained some caution. Could the person who could drive these Pig Beasts really be an ordinary person? Even in his eyes, Zhou Liming seemed very ordinary with no special features, but Shao Weiguo did not dare to be careless. The Form Skill attack covering heads of sixty-three Pig Beasts was enough to make people suffer greatly.

The newly arrived seven or eight people were also surprised that Zhou Liming could actually sit on the back of a Pig Beast. They were dumbfounded and did not know what to say.

Eventually, a young Super Warrior could not hold back. He pointed at Zhou Liming and shouted, “Who are you? How dare you come here to run wild?” In his view, a Pig Beast was just a Level Three Fierce Beast. His side not only had Third Stage Super Warriors but also a Fourth Stage. The captain was Fifth Stage. There were more than ten people in total. Were they afraid of this group of Pig Beasts?

Feeling more and more confident as he thought about it, he flapped his wings and dove down. He wanted to severely teach this arrogant person in front of him a lesson that this was not a pig farm.

The group of Pig Beasts did not move. To everyone’s eyes, Zhou Liming looked as if he was scared silly, staring blankly and not knowing how to dodge. In fact, no one believed Zhou Liming could dodge. This was a Third Stage Super Warrior, and what was Zhou Liming? Just an ordinary person… The result was undoubtedly clear. Many people were already fantasizing about the scene where Zhou Liming was punched, spit blood, and flew off the Pig Beast.

Thump.

A small sound was made. A human figure let out a scream and was directly hit flying, smashing onto the ground and sinking into the soft mud.

This basically matched the guesses of everyone present. However, the protagonist had swapped places. Everyone stared in astonishment at Zhou Liming slowly retracting his fist. The person who was knocked flying was his companion who had just pounced forward. At this moment, he was still struggling in the mud trying to get up. But that punch was too heavy, causing him to howl in pain.

Zhou Liming shook his head and said, “Too weak, too weak!”

What did it mean to take advantage and still act righteous? Look at Zhou Liming now. Seeing his face that begged for a beating, everyone gnashed their teeth in anger.

Only Shao Weiguo’s expression changed slightly. A person who could knock down a Third Stage Super Warrior with bare hands, how powerful would he actually be? Shao Weiguo could not figure it out at all. Why was it like this? Were the Third Stage Super Warriors under his command like paper figures, easily manipulated and crushed by anyone?

Before Shao Weiguo could react, a series of roars rang out. Seven or eight Super Warriors completed their transformations and pounced towards Zhou Liming.

Clang clang bang bang.

In just a few minutes, Shao Weiguo’s eyes nearly bulged out. He only saw Zhou Liming pat his hands, return to the back of the Pig Beast, and then shake his head and sway while shouting orders to the Pig Beasts. They actually walked boldly right under Shao Weiguo’s nose.

On the ground, the seven or eight Third and Fourth Stage Super Warriors who had just arrived were all knocked down, their faces bruised and swollen, groaning in pain.

Shao Weiguo’s eyelid twitched. He could not imagine how the other party managed to do it. It was not impossible for Shao Weiguo himself to do it, but it was definitely not as clean and crisp as the other party’s, nor could it be done in an ordinary state. But the other party did it easily, right under his nose, not only finishing the fight but also leaving boldly.

“Too perverted.”

Shocked, Shao Weiguo looked at Zhou Liming, who was gradually getting further away. He did not even generate the thought of chasing him. In his heart, Zhou Liming became profound and unfathomable.

This strange incident caused a slight stir in the city. Although Shao Weiguo had issued a gag order, it was useless after all because too many people had seen it. At one time, no one believed that someone could drive Fierce Beasts. However, the title of Zhou Liming the Pig Official still rang out in the city, becoming the subject of people’s discussions.

Shao Weiguo, who was simmering with anger, almost felt that the entire city was mocking him.

Only Shao Weiguo understood that this young man was too terrifying. The reason he could drive Fierce Beasts was not because he had some special trick, but due to a pressure. These Fierce Beasts could only submit. Could the person who made Fierce Beasts submit be an ordinary person? Mockery… Damn it, if you have the guts, go try it. You will find that in front of him, a faint smile makes you feel the weight of a mountain.

Of course, Shao Weiguo did not tell anyone about this. After all, this matter was too confusing. It was like wanting to vent but having no target.

But the next morning, Shao Weiguo had not even woken up when a subordinate rushed in in a panic, exclaiming loudly, “Cap… Captain, that pig seller is back.”

Shao Weiguo had not yet reacted when he roared, “Go to hell with that pig seller.”

He was thinking, is there still a pig seller nowadays? But the next second, he suddenly realized what was happening. He grabbed the subordinate’s collar and roared with wide eyes, “That pig seller from yesterday?”

The subordinate hurriedly nodded and said, “It is that Pig Official.”

“Damn it, so he really thinks this place has become a pig farm?” Conflicted, Shao Weiguo gritted his teeth. He decided that today he would make him know why the flowers were so red. After all, having lost without fighting yesterday, he was almost becoming a laughingstock for everyone overnight.
