Chapter 1018: Chapter 1018: Must Adapt

Feng Jun was not unfamiliar with the underhanded dealings in the cultural transmission sector–his work in Yangcheng was related to this.

Because he was involved in the advertising industry, he had a deep understanding of how propaganda could subtly alter people’s consciousness.

Therefore, he could sense the deep malice that Jieke Mozi had towards Huaxia.

The most crucial point was, according to the information provided by Kunlun, that this woman was a staunch “return to the native land” advocate.

Feng Jun was well-versed with industry secrets and had already disliked this person’s behavior, and with her label, he did not hesitate to choose her.

As for his thoughts, they were quite simple–kill this person and take all her ill-gotten gains.

However, this time he did not plan to do it himself; he wanted to leave it to his disciples to accomplish.

Gazi and Gao Qiang, when they heard they were to assassinate a woman, felt somewhat… unnatural.

Both considered themselves unafraid of killing, but taking on a woman, especially by underhand means, they did not volunteer eagerly.

It was Feng Jing who spoke up, “I’ll do it.”

Zhang Caixin couldn’t help turning her head to glance at her upon hearing this, wondering when this state employee got so ruthless and bloodthirsty.

Her suspicion was reasonable. Even Mei Jin knew in her heart what kind of person she was. She had never even tried to kill a chicken, unlike Gazi who had helped butcher pigs and sheep before.

The strongest animal she had ever killed was… putting a crab on the steamer rack, covering it with a lid, and then lighting the fire.

However, she had visited the Mobile Phone realm twice and knew how cutthroat and merciless the real Cultivation World was. If possible, she’d like to cultivate leisurely, but cultivation resources were limited. If you didn’t compete or fight for them, you’d only watch others cultivate.

So, even though Director Mei knew she was timid, she had to train herself, “Caixin is still young, don’t let her get traumatized.”

Zhang Caixin was unhappy upon hearing this, what kind of thing is that to say? “Let me do it… My cultivation level is higher!”

The five of them analyzed the security of the residential area where their target lived and found it to be of a high standard. Apart from ubiquitous security cameras and central control locks, each household had an infrared alarm system, and there was a function for one-touch alarms.

It looked like they would have to slightly alter their original plan, but this was no trouble for Feng Jun. He changed his appearance and dressed up as a food delivery boy, swiping on the mobile phone until two people emerged from a car in the parking lot.

He quickly walked up to them, with two boxes already in his hand, following right behind the couple.

The couple sensed something amiss and looked back, but seeing it was just a food delivery guy, they didn’t pay it any more mind and then used their cards to enter. Feng Jun just followed them in.

The man, a little cautious, asked, “Which floor are you going to?”

Feng Jun replied casually, “Twelfth floor,” since the other party lived on the fifteenth floor, they probably wouldn’t care about him.

Sure enough, knowing he was not going to the same floor, the man relaxed even more and started discussing the movie they had just watched with the woman.

Feng Jun exited the elevator and after a while pressed to go down again. His hands were now empty, appearing to have delivered the food.

Afterward, it was quite simple. He opened the apartment door to let Zhang Caixin and Feng Jing in, then climbed up the stairway to the twenty-first floor. He then activated Telekinesis World and used his Divine Sense to unlock Jieke Mozi’s door from inside.

After his ascent to the Above Dust phase, the power of Telekinesis World hadn’t really increased much, but fortunately, the lock of the door could be opened from inside without much force.

After entering the apartment, sounds from the main bedroom indicated a groggy person speaking.

Zhang Caixin already had a mask on and had donned gloves, she pushed open the bedroom door, and as the person on the bed sat up abruptly, she kicked, sending them tumbling under the bed.

Once youths decide to employ violence, their actions truly lack moderation.

“There’s another one,” Feng Jing, also masked, murmured softly, and rushed up with a punch, knocking the person unconscious.

Zhang Caixin also rendered her target unconscious. After discerning for a moment, the three discovered that the one Zhang Caixin had knocked out was actually Jieke Mozi.

“What should we do with this one?” Feng Jing, altering his voice to sound rougher, pointed to the one he had knocked out.

The two individuals on the bed were both female, and they were sleeping under the same blanket, which made people question their relationship.

Feng Jun spoke up in a deep voice, “Take them both.”

Their agreed strategy was that they couldn’t leave bodies in the room. After all, a missing person from Ni Hong would have a different impact compared to a dead person from Ni Hong.

Feng Jing hesitated, “The kid doesn’t know any better, should we… let her off?”

She was already pushing her limits by carrying out such an action today. She could steel herself to take down a Ni Hong but really couldn’t get over the internal barrier when it came to her own countrymen–especially when there was no enmity at all.

“Just take her with us,” Feng Jun spoke indifferently, “Her name is Xiang Xue, and she’s also from Ni Hong.”

“No problem with someone from Ni Hong,” Feng Jing took out the Spirit Beast Bag and directly put the two of them inside.

They drew the curtains and searched the room with a flashlight for a while.

The amount of money they found wasn’t much, but the key was that they found the two person’s passports and everything else, including the clothes they were wearing and those in the wardrobe, shoes and socks, and packed them all up, creating an impression of moving.

Seeing this, Feng Jun shook his head, his body slowly floated up, and with a raise of his hand, he pulled out a black plastic bag from the top of the bookcase, “I have to say, relying on you two to ransack a house is really quite ineffective.”

“Let’s get going,” Feng Jing muttered softly, “We’ll do the inventory once we’re out.”

There’s no need to go into the details of their departure; with their skills, they basically left no trace behind.

After meeting up with Gao Qiang and Gazi who were keeping a lookout, the five people found a spot without surveillance cameras and continued their journey in the Time Shuttle.

After flying into Pudong, the desolate areas had visibly increased, and Feng Jun spoke up from inside the Time Shuttle, “Find a place and finish off these two.”

Zhang Caixin and Feng Jing couldn’t help but exchange a glance: Are we really going to kill someone?

Feng Jun was joking, of course. Given the situation today, it was quite commendable that the two of them made it this far. There was no need to force them to learn how to kill right now.

After landing the Time Shuttle, he had Feng Jing take the two people out of the Spirit Beast Bag, and with a stretch of his hand, he snapped their necks, then calmly said, “Spirit Beast Bags are a scarce resource. Anything that can be stored in a Storage Bag shouldn’t take up space in the Spirit Beast Bag.”

His coldness was on full display in that moment.

However, Gazi didn’t mind and was even a bit eager to try, “Brother Jun, next time we have something like this, just leave it to me.”

Feng Jun glanced at him and smiled, “Don’t rush, sooner or later, there will be a share for everyone.”

Gao Qiang didn’t say anything, because everyone knew he had killed before–although he was vague about it, it must have been enemy soldiers.

Feng Jun then took out the black plastic bag to check its contents. Inside, there was one million US Dollars and two million Japanese Yen. The US Dollars were older notes, but the Yen was more problematic; they were consecutive new bills.

But it was fine, two million Yen is only about a hundred thousand Huaxia currency, not much money.

Feng Jun passed the black plastic bag to Feng Jing, “You keep it. This thing isn’t easy to use domestically. We’ll go to Siam later to buy perfume and spend it there… It’s time to bring in another batch of perfumes.”

Teacher Mei was well aware of the purpose of his perfume purchasing. She had personally witnessed how popular perfume was in that world, but she still asked, “Are we going to Siam again? The public security there is quite problematic… Aren’t you coming with us?”

Feng Jun frowned slightly and replied helplessly, “Director Yang said that if I want to go abroad, I would draw too much attention… We must listen to an expert’s advice, after all.”

“You have the Time Shuttle,” Teacher Mei looked at him in amusement, “We don’t even need to apply for a visa to go abroad, we can just fly there directly. Of course, we have to be careful not to be shot down by anti-aircraft guns.”

“Eh?” Feng Jun appeared quite interested, “I forgot about that… In that case, can I still go? Oh no, without a visa, I can’t get tax refund.”

Siam was different from Ni Hong. It wasn’t the case that you could directly get a tax refund in the store, but rather, after shopping, you would apply for a tax refund at Customs when returning to your country.

To put it simply, in Ni Hong after shopping and showing your passport, you get a tax refund directly at the point of sale in the store.

But in Siam, after purchasing items in the store, you receive a tax refund form and get a stamp at the security check at the airport, then proceed to the tax refund window – you can compile refunds from many stores this way.

This might make it seem like Ni Hong’s system is a bit more advanced? Not necessarily, there’s a threshold for tax refunds, and it won’t be liable for amounts less than five thousand Yen. Worse still, in smaller cities, many shops don’t implement this policy and won’t offer tax refunds even for purchases of fifty thousand Yen.

In Siam, this is much easier as they will refund tax for any purchase amount, but you need to specially go through the process.

In Siam, the tax refund rate for cosmetics ranges from four to eight percent. It’s not a lot of money, but if you buy a hundred million’s worth, you can get a refund of four to eight million, which isn’t negligible.

Naturally, if you enter the country illegally, not going through Customs, then you won’t be eligible for a tax refund.

“How much money is the tax refund worth?” Feng Jing rolled his eyes when he heard this, “Even without the tax refund, cosmetics are highly profitable… Plus, with the amount you’re dealing with, it would be difficult to process the tax refund anyway. Did we get a refund last time?”

Feng Jun thought about it. Last time, they hadn’t really bothered with a tax refund, but simply packed everything into a Storage Bag and took it home.

Mainly because the legal safe line for tax refunds is below five thousand Yen. If you are a bit bolder, fifty thousand can work too, as long as you aren’t caught by Huaxia’s random checks. In any case, if caught, you just have to pay the import duties to Customs, and if the quantity is even larger… that’s called smuggling!

“Alright, let’s drop this topic,” Feng Jun took a look at Zhang Caixin, “You work hard and try to advance to Qi Refinement level quickly, so you can operate the Time Shuttle, and then… you can help me with smuggling.”

Zhang Caixin gave an eye roll upon hearing this, “I’m already working hard. Now, when I take a plane… I can also help you with smuggling.”

“Okay, enough of this,” Feng Jun stood up, “It’s already 2 o’clock, time to visit Rimu Corporation.”
