Kristen turned in response, and saw the veiled woman in white. Her graceful body curves were visible through the thin fabric of her clothes.

"I heard that Ms Kristen is the best weaponsmith around here. I'd like to purchase a weapon from you," the woman bowed slightly in greeting.

Kristen fixed her eyes on the woman, looking her up and down passionately. "I say, to think that I would meet someone as beautiful as you are! How may I address you, dear?"

Standing beside them, the storekeeper felt goose bumps all over when he saw the look in Kristen's eyes. He thought of the rumors about Kristen and felt like warning his lady customer, but he said nothing in the end.

The woman in white smiled, "I am Shu Mo'er."

"You're so gentle, Miss Mo'er, no wonder I like you," Kristen held Shu Mo'er hands eagerly.

Shu Mo'er was uncomfortable with Kristen's enthusiasm, caressing her hands like that. She felt her body turn rigid.

"Aha, is that so?" Shu Mo'er replied awkwardly.

"It's true! You feel just like a long lost friend," Kristen held her hands even tighter.

"Haha, you have a way with words, Ms Kristen," Shu Mo'er pulled her hands back as she said.

Kristen put her arm over Shu Mo'er shoulders like it was the only natural thing to do, "Haha, Sister Mo'er, don't call me Ms Kristen like I'm some stranger. Just Kristen, or Sister Kristen."

Shu Mo'er hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "I will."

"What kind of weapon do you want, Mo'er? Just pick one from my place, I'll show you everything I have," Kristen offered generously as she lightly pinched the other woman's shoulders teasingly.

Ye Chong was certain by now that Kristen would get along splendidly with Shang. For the moment, he chose to play a silent part. He did not know why the woman in white looked unsettled, but this might just be the perfect chance to understand her more.

Shu Mo'er bowed slightly, saying, "I'll be most grateful, Sister Kristen," as she slipped out of Kristen's embrace easily. Kristen smiled sweetly with her tantalizing red lips, "Sister Mo'er, won't you show me what you look like now?"

Ye Chong silently approved of Kristen's methods.

Shu Mo'er hesitated, but soon replied, "The veil is for convenience of travelling, please forgive me, Sister." She took off her hat and showed her face.

She had an oval face. Her skin was smooth and tender, her eyes shining black. Her delicate nose was matched with small lips. Long hair reached her shoulders. She looked graceful and serene. As Shu Mo'er lifted her veil, the store went silent in awe.

"You're so beautiful, sister, even I can't help but adore you," Kristen's eyes sharpened as she said this. She licker her moist lips, an act which was also appreciated by the other customers in the store.

Ye Chong was unmoved by all that. He did not know this woman's background, but her strength was enough to make him wary. Besides, since this woman had tried to probe him, and now greeted them, Ye Chong could only think that she must be up to no good.

"Please forgive me," Shu Mo'er apologized to Ye Chong and Kristen as she put on her hat. Her face was once again veiled, but anyone who had seen her face would never forget its beauty.

Since her arms were hidden behind her long sleeves, Ye Chong could not make out how strong she really was.

"And how should I address you, sir?" Her soft voice was like a refreshing sprinkle in spring.

"Ye Chong," he replied with a precise and strong voice that erased all traces of her graceful demeanor.

Shu Mo'er smiled almost imperceptibly at him.

"What kind of weapon are you looking for, sister?" Kristen asked enthusiastically.

"Um, I haven't quite decided, do you have a suggestion, sister?"

Ye Chong smiled coldly inside. This was obviously a pointless conversation. What kind of combatant would not know their weapon of choice? This woman was up to no good.

Kristen had not thought about that. She considered the question for a moment, one hand on her chin, "Hmm, your weapon must not be too heavy, or it'll just be a drag. It must be powerful enough, else your pretty self gets into trouble if you lose. You have a tiny frame, so the weapon shouldn't be too long."

After a long while, Kristen could not think of anything suitable. She said, "Sister, why don't you come over to my place? You can pick and choose from there."

"You have my thanks," Shu Mo'er answered with a thin smile.

Kristen put one arm on her waist and waved off her thanks with her other arm, "Don't worry about it, you're just my kind of girl, sister."

Ye Chong felt his body shudder for no reason.

The three of them left the store together.

"Come, sis, let's go to my place," Kristen invited her warmly.

Shu Mo'er answered softly through her veil, "I thank you very much, sister."

Kristen smiled teasingly at her, "You're too courteous, sister." She turned to Ye Chong and said, "You can head back first, tea – I'll be back after Sister Mo'er here chose her weapon."

"Okay," Ye Chong said briskly and turned to leave.

"Will Mr Ye not join us?" Shu Mo'er asked in surprise.

Kristen groaned, "He's just a dull guy, more like an eyesore if he comes with us. He's like a rock."

Shu Mo'er smiled, "Mr Ye is a very interesting man."

"Interesting?" Kristen scoffed, "That guy can't say anything worth noticing."

Ye Chong walked along the streets, thinking of Shu Mo'er. He must be careful of her, that was for sure. The woman had something up her sleeves, perhaps because he had gotten her attention by escaping from her mental probing. Ye Chong did not know how strong she really was, but she must be pretty strong. It was this gut feeling, and his dangerous battle days ago that made him even more vigilant.

There was not much he could deduce of Shu Mo'er. They had only met briefly. He quickly moved on from the topic to another – that of money. Now that he had spent 1.36 million ao in one go, he still had about another million left.

Ye Chong knew that he had zero sense in financial management. His research work was going to cost a lot. Without an income source, he would be broke very soon. He did not want to worry about money again. There must be some kind of solution out there. However, he did not know what it could be, as he simply did not know much about finance in general.

What a dilemma! He would have to take his time and figure out something.

Suddenly, Ye Chong began to move to the side, into a corner.

It was a narrow alley, but deep and very quiet.

Ye Chong walked to the end of the alley and turned around. He asked calmly, "Who are you?"

There were two men, one tall and the other short, with guns in their hands. They were surprised that Ye Chong noticed them following him. However, they quickly composed themselves.

The shorter guy laughed, "Hehe, bro, you can only blame yourself for being careless. Tsk tsk, I say, you don't look like it, but that's some money you got in your account. Just hand it over."

The taller one glared fiercely at Ye Chong, looking wary. His gun was pointed at him.

Ye Chong felt like rolling his eyes. To think that he would be robbed like this! Shang would definitely have a field day once he found out.

Ye Chong had no intention of wasting time with these two. Skilled shooters were powerful, but these two here did not even merit his attention. Ye Chong leapt like a spring, launching himself into the air.

When a shooter fought against a combat expert one-on-one, the shooter did not have any significant advantage. A shooter may be able to predict their opponent's moves with parapsychic sense, but they could not react as fast as a combat expert. As a Jie expert, Ye Chong himself was even faster. In the short time before a shooter could fire their gun, a combat expert could do all kinds of damage. Combat experts were the true masters of close range combat. A combat expert with excellent mental training would be even more powerful.

To these two shooters, the man in front of them seemed to have just vanished into thin air.

Ye Chong spread his arms wide like a pelican. He appeared suddenly between the two men and reached out with his hands towards their throats.

Just a light twist in his hands, and the two men would die.

Suddenly, Ye Chong showed hesitation! A strong mental wave had reached him.

Ye Chong attacked, breaking the necks of the two robbers with a crack. He bent down low and slid backwards, then sprang up with his toes like a cat and got onto the wall. He took a quick glance at the alley before turning around and began to run.

It was only then that the two corpses slumped to the ground.

A man with bushy eyebrows appeared in the alley. He was just in time to see the bodies collapse and the figure that made its escape.

The man looked unsettled. He dashed towards the two bodies. His face twisted when he saw the unnatural twists of their necks.

Ye Chong got home, still shaken from the incident. This world was too simply dangerous. Having met two very strong people in just a single day, Ye Chong was shocked! Could this world be full of so many strong people? The world felt more and more threatening to Ye Chong.

He had thought that people on level with the blue fighter's pilot must be rare enough. To think he actually met two today who were just like the pilot! Today's events told him that the mentalists in this world were far more powerful than those in the free space zone.

What a terrifying place!

Ye Chong had been to many places, but his strength had always kept him safe, be it in the Five Galaxies, He Yue Galaxy or the free space zone. This world, however, had put him in a dangerous position.

It did not feel good to be forced to lie low.

The items from the store arrived soon after. Ye Chong decided to stop thinking about the problem for the moment. Here, the only person who could help him was himself. He was confident of finding a solution to his predicament. He had survived harsher times. His determination was honed long enough to withstand the challenges around him.

The items filled up his courtyard.

The store was meticulous, having labelled every one of them.

Ye Chong wasted no more time. He began to do his research. He needed to analyze all the materials here. It would be a huge project – huge in the sense that there were many items to go through. However, since Ye Chong had very advanced equipment at his disposal, the real analysis work should not take him too long.

Now, all he needed to do was create a database of information for all these materials.

Ye Chong worked with full concentration. In this state, his mind was like a speedy processor. He soon discovered that most of the materials here had high energy content. It was like the natural ingredients here could absorb the rich energy around them.

When it came to the semi-transparent crystal that locals used as their energy source, Ye Chong could not withhold his surprise any longer. The crystalline body was pure, with an enormous energy density. Ye Chong had never seen anything that could store so much energy aside from the teardrop mineralite.

From the receipt, Ye Chong noticed that the crystal itself did not cost a lot. This meant that the crystal was a commonly found material here. What a blessed human world! Energy was a necessity for all human societies. They had plenty of them here.

Using this crystal as an energy course could boost the engine power greatly. Ye Chong finally had a glimpse of why the primitive aircrafts here could fly so fast. With this wonderful power source, and incredibly light but strong wood material, it was no wonder the aircrafts here were so fast. The wood materials were even lighter than the skeletons that Ye Chong used!

This place was so blessed with natural resources that it was really unfair!

Ye Chong looked at the big piles of materials in his courtyard with excitement. Who knew what other surprises awaited him there?

For the moment, however, he would have to stop working, since Kristen had come back.

Kristen was back, alone. Ye Chong did not ask her about Shu Mo'er. However, seeing Kristen looking a little dreamy did make him a little curious.

Shu Mo'er was feeling happy today, having met someone quite interesting. She had thought that a small city like Yedda would just be boring, but it seemed that there were still people of note here.

That the man could escape her parapsychic sense so easily told her how powerful he was. Besides, she was interested in particular with his methods. The man had a cold expression, but Shu Mo'er thought he looked cute.

As for the overfamiliar Sister Kristen, Shu Mo'er squirmed a little when she thought of her.

She was surprised to find that the man who seemed to be younger than Kristen was actually her teacher. When she asked Kristen further about Ye Chong, she could not believe who he really was. In the end, however, she believed the woman. She could tell that underneath Kristen's affected indifference was a sincere respect for him.

When she found out that Ye Chong had used speckled blue fir wood to make a laser gun for Level 8 shooter Sha Ya, a gun that could shoot through five centimeters of nubis stone, Shu Mo'er thought that her heart could burst with intrigue.

Sha Ya was a name that she was familiar with. Both she and her teacher knew the shooter.

This man had built such as powerful weapon for a Level 8 shooter at a young age, and even had his own mysterious powers. No matter how she looked at it, Shu Mo'er felt that she had gained plenty today.

Beneath her veil, Shu Mo'er smiled very softly. She had already arranged for a visit to Kristen's little house.

Shu Mo'er returned to her lodgings. She opened the door and found a bearded man sprawled out lazily on the sofa in the living room. He had a bottle in one hand, and he looked drunk.

"Edward, you're too lazy. There's such a nice weather outside, the air is refreshing as well," Shu Mo'er commented, displeased, as she wrinkled her nose in response to the alcohol smell in the air.

Edwards took a side glance at Shu Mo'er and broke into a grin, "Our lil' Mo'er is back. How's it going? Do anything fun today?"

"I met an interesting person," Shu Mo'er said with a smile. She took off her hat, revealing her charming features.

Edward took a gulp from his bottle and burped. He muttered, "Interesting? Even an ant will be interesting to you."

"Edward!" Shu Mo'er chided him with a glare. Edward quickly laughed it off, "Lil Mo'er, Duo Ka and the rest are in the study, go find them."

"Humph!" Shu Mo'er pouted and fixed him with another angry glare before she stomped off to the study.
