Doomsday: I Can Get a Hint-Chapter 432 - 266: All Squinty-Eyed People Are Monsters (Part 2)
The large iron sword shattered inch by inch, and a crescent-shaped slash swept towards Chen Bin.
Chen Bin sidestepped to dodge, opened his squinted eyes, and formed seals with his hands again.
"Steel Refinement, Condense Shape, Steel Wolves."
One steel wolf after another appeared, roaring at Wang Hao.
With a wave of Chen Bin’s hand, dozens of steel wolves lunged at Wang Hao.
They were extremely agile and incredibly fast.
Those unaware might think they were some special breed of wolves.
This Chen Bin indeed has some skills.
Wang Hao strengthened his five senses with spiritual power, dodging left and right, occasionally parrying with the Blade of Plunder.
Each collision emitted a crisp metallic clashing sound.
Although razor-sharp, the Blade of Plunder couldn’t easily cut through the steel, which was not just ordinary iron; they were solid chunks of iron.
To slice through them required effort and consumed a lot of spiritual power.
Wang Hao unleashed his spiritual power, trying to slice apart a few, but as soon as Chen Bin willed it, they reformed as if nothing had happened.
These wolves had no life; they were formed by condensed iron elements.
"Impressive!"
Wang Hao marveled silently.
He had not expected Chen Bin to possess such strength.
The wolves even executed battle formations.
For anyone else, an ordinary superpower user would likely have been torn to shreds long ago.
As the battle continued, the wolves’ attacks became sharper and more varied, their coordination seamless, and smooth!
Wang Hao realized that Chen Bin was using him as a sparring partner, honing his superpower.
He was happy to serve as this sparring partner.
After all, Chen Bin was his brother-in-law.
"Pack Extermination!"
After an intense battle, Chen Bin clasped his hands together and murmured softly, causing the wolves to swarm Wang Hao.
They completely sealed off all of Wang Hao’s escape routes, leaving him no room to evade.
With a twist of his wrist, Wang Hao transformed the Blade of Plunder into the shape of a Golden Threaded Blade.
As he flicked it upward, the golden threads spread out from him, weaving a golden cage.
At the same time, he used Gold-Carving Jade-Slicing to enhance the sharpness of the Golden Threaded Blade.
The steel wolves charged recklessly and were sliced into pieces by the golden threads.
With a wave of his right hand, Wang Hao expanded the golden cage, swiftly slicing all the wolves into pieces.
As the iron elements attempted to regroup, they were immediately sliced apart by the golden threads.
"Steel Refinement, Mjolnir."
Chen Bin leaped high, the iron elements gathering.
A massive iron hammer formed, crashing down toward Wang Hao.
This iron hammer was nearly like a gigantic pendulum ride at an amusement park.
If it landed solidly, there would be nothing left but bones.
"Oh, no!"
Wang Hao raised his hand, spiritual power flowing like water.
When his palm met the hammer’s surface, he let out a soft cry and actually deflected the giant iron hammer.
Then he slashed out a blade of light.
"Crack!"
Chen Bin’s iron hammer was cut in half with a single stroke.
Seeing Chen Bin about to act again, Wang Hao glanced at him with a slight smile:
"Brother-in-law, shall we call it a day?"
Although he knew Chen Bin probably had more tricks up his sleeve, he didn’t want to continue fighting.
Up to this point, he’d already expended a lot of energy.
He even used the Gold-Carving Jade-Slicing skill, wasting some energy points.
Chen Bin’s strength was formidable, and if they continued, Wang Hao might have to use his true abilities.
If, by any chance he misjudged and severely injured Chen Bin, it would be troublesome.
Sun Yaoyao was not here.
"As expected of Su Jing’s hero, much respect!"
Chen Bin, who initially intended to continue attacking, withdrew.
This day’s battle had already yielded significant gains for him.
"You’re impressive too! What kind of superpower is this? An iron superpower?"
Wang Hao sheathed the Blade of Plunder and asked curiously.
"Something like that. Before the apocalypse, I studied some martial arts. Now, my strength has increased, and what once seemed like fantasy can now be used,"
Chen Bin remarked with a hint of emotion.
He was likely referring to the Beng Fist.
That move was indeed quite formidable.
When ordinary people become superpower users, their overall attributes are enhanced. Now, if they were to use the Inch Fist to break bricks, they probably wouldn’t need the brick props anymore.
"With such power, why hide it? Isn’t this refuge your family’s? With you and Lingxue here, it seems you wouldn’t need to guard against anyone, right?"
Wang Hao took out two lollipops from his pocket and handed one to Chen Bin:
"Have some sugar."
"As you said, this refuge is my family’s. Why do I need to showcase my superpower?"
Chen Bin said lightly.
Uh...
Wang Hao blinked, feeling that what he said made sense.
With an undergraduate degree, I can hold my current position. Why do I need to bring out my PhD credentials?
When it comes time to compete for a position that requires a PhD, I can take it out then.
This refuge is practically theirs; Chen Lingxue is very dazzling now, though she will eventually have to get married, after all, she is just a woman.
Chen Bin only needs to lay low and be honest.
The refuge will definitely be handed over to him in the end.
He doesn’t need to shine too brightly.
"I’ve never been particularly concerned about power or prestige, especially now in the apocalypse, I care even less.
As long as we live comfortably and my family is healthy, that’s enough."
Chen Bin looked at Wang Hao deeply, and with a serious face, warned:
"Wang Hao, I know you’re formidable, but Lingxue is my only sister, and I haven’t been a very competent brother.
I’ve never really taken care of her from childhood to adulthood, and I don’t want her to suffer any grievances. If you bully her, even if I have to fight you, I’ll still bite a piece out of you."
Uh...
Wang Hao blinked.
Looking at Chen Bin’s serious and determined eyes, he could feel his care and protection towards Chen Lingxue.
At this moment, he stopped joking and sighed lightly:
"Nothing is certain yet, nobody knows what’ll happen later. If we really end up together, I won’t let her suffer."
"I’ve learned a bit about you, compared to Xu Xiang, you’re more suitable to be Lingxue’s husband."
Chen Bin seemed to have a very good impression of Wang Hao.
Of course!
This doesn’t mean Xu Xiang is bad.
On the contrary, if it were before the apocalypse, Xu Xiang and Chen Lingxue would be well-matched.
But Xu Xiang is too domineering, if Chen Lingxue were to marry him, she could only be the woman behind him, or even just his canary.
Marrying Wang Hao, however, is different.
Wang Hao, born from grassroots, inherently has a laid-back attitude of muddling along.
He doesn’t have a strong desire for power and is very afraid of trouble.
Even his own territory he’s too lazy to manage, leaving everything to two girls to handle.
If Chen Lingxue marries him, not only will she not be suppressed, but she’ll be able to fully display her talents.
She could even use Wang Hao’s combat power to establish a force that surpasses the official settlement camps.
Wang Hao looked at his future brother-in-law.
He had some thoughts.
With the strength he previously displayed, it was already enough to go together to seize the corpse poison serum.
But this guy was all mysterious, making Wang Hao feel he couldn’t see through him.
Xu Xiang is unlikely to cooperate with the Equality Association, but he’s not sure about Chen Bin.
"Brother-in-law, your supplies should be quite ample, right?"
Wang Hao asked casually.
Chen Bin: "Fairly ample, but I’m not sure about the specifics, Lingxue handles all that."
"I want to buy some high-end ingredients. If you have extra food, I can buy it in bulk.
Pay with crystal stones."
Wang Hao was quite tempted by the refuge’s supplies.
This large consortium’s stash was nothing like the petty savings of his former life.
The resources he had hoarded were immense.
In these times, even though food is hard currency, one also needs to consider portability.
Holding a lot of supplies would also attract covetous forces.
Moreover, storage requires a large space, and there’s the issue of shelf life.
It’s better to exchange them for crystal stones, which are much more portable, easier to store, and have no shelf life worries.
Then, when buying things from settlement camps, you don’t have to transport goods by the truckload anymore.
"Why didn’t you ask Lingxue for this kind of thing?"
Chen Bin looked at Wang Hao with some confusion.
This seemed a bit unnecessary.
"With my own brother, everything’s clear and square. I don’t want any gossip later or for Lingxue to be put in a difficult position."
Wang Hao leaned against the wall, speaking nonchalantly:
"Since you’ve checked on me, you should know my situation, I’m not short on crystal stones at all.
I don’t want to take advantage! With my own brother, let’s be clear-cut, but also don’t rip me off."
"You really have thought it through."
Chen Bin’s gaze softened a lot.
Seeing Wang Hao taking so many factors into consideration for Chen Lingxue, Chen Bin was very comforted.
