Picking Up Supreme Treasures in the Dream Realm-Chapter 435 - 318, The Temptation of 12 Million Square Kilometers of Land

Chapter 435: 318, The Temptation of 12 Million Square Kilometers of Land

Mo Bei Province.

Tolan City.

"Crunch! Crunch!"

Yang Fan walked with idle steps, treading on a thin layer of snow, heading towards a nearby residential community.

The secretary from the Spirit Crow office, Su Yuxuan, silently followed behind him, roughly half a step behind.

Since his status has been rising, scenes like this have become increasingly frequent.

Yang Fan glanced around and softly muttered, "It seems the local city hall is fairly diligent in clearing the snow."

He had been to the medical center twice, both times it was snowing, yet the ground had very little snow.

This alone speaks volumes.

Su Yuxuan’s expression twitched.

She thought to herself: You struck so hard in Xijing City, that the top officials in the city hall were wiped out, hundreds of people "ate peanuts," and thousands ended up in forced labor camps. Which city wouldn’t be terrified?

In the past, at most, neglecting snow clearance would just earn a reprimand.

Nowadays, it’s a matter of life and death, which is terrifying.

Soon enough.

The two arrived at the entrance of the community.

Two security guards were sitting in the security room, their watchful eyes immediately directed their way.

One was tall, the other short, this combination seemed somewhat amusing to the eye.

Before the Age of Calamity, security guards in residential communities were mostly middle-aged or elderly, rarely young people.

The duties of a security guard were basically akin to a "gatekeeper," almost equivalent to a retirement job.

Besides guarding the entrance, don’t expect security guards to do much more.

After the Age of Calamity, all the security in the communities was replaced by robust young lads.

Official training is periodically given to ensure that the security guards have mastery over more skills and earnestly undertake the duty to maintain the community’s security.

The role of a security guard has become meaningful in a true sense.

"Whiz~"

The window of the security room was opened slightly.

The tall security guard asked, "You two seem unfamiliar, what brings you to the Lantai District?"

Su Yuxuan stepped forward two steps, displaying her phone screen and softly said, "Detective undercover investigation."

Interestingly, the security guards did not first glance at the phone screen but sized up Su Yuxuan’s face.

In the next moment.

A glint of amazement flashed in their eyes.

This girl is prettier than a celebrity!

That was the common thought in the minds of the two security guards.

After a while.

The tall guard snapped back and took out his phone to scan the QR code on Su Yuxuan’s phone screen.

A line of text popped up — Level 4 Senior Detective.

The eyes of the two security guards instantly changed.

They often deal with the police station and naturally understand how high this rank is.

In a city’s district police station branch, the deputy commander’s rank usually is a Level 4 Senior Detective.

This kind of QR code-based identity verification system started being widely implemented just last year.

The identity QR code refreshes every thirty seconds, making it very difficult to forge.

The shorter guard quickly pressed the button to unlock the gate, politely saying, "Welcome to our community."

"Beep!"

With a soft sound.

The door opened.

Yang Fan turned to the guards and politely said, "Thank you," before stepping through the door first.

Su Yuxuan closely followed, looking very much like an assistant.

The two security guards exchanged glances, both seeing the astonishment in each other’s eyes.

They weren’t blind, they naturally saw that this pair wasn’t ordinary.

The shorter guard plopped down and speculated, "That young man must be a Superpower User, right?"

His tone was full of envy, "Superpower Users have it good, always accompanied by such beautiful officers when they go out."

The tall guard shook his head, "Probably not just any Superpower User."

The shorter guard asked, "What makes you say so?"

The tall guard responded, "Has our city’s Liren Branch Superpower User ever received this kind of treatment when they visited Lantai District?"

The shorter guard finally realized, "You’re right! That young man could be a big shot!"

The tall guard nodded, "Very likely!"

The shorter guard asked, "Should we report this to the police station?"

The tall guard snapped, "That beautiful female officer mentioned an undercover investigation, why on earth would you report?"

The shorter guard uttered an "Oh."

This guy’s thought process was somewhat odd, and asked again, "Should we stand guard at the entrance, show our presence to the big shot?"

The tall guard felt helpless, "In this minus thirty degrees weather, you want to stand guard, are you out of your mind?"

The shorter guard looked embarrassed, "Alright, then forget it."

*

Lantai District.

Although this community has a history of more than twenty years, it seems quite well-maintained.

There are no potholes on the roads of the community, the pavement is swept clean.

Six-story residential buildings stand tall, and there are hardly any spots where the outer walls are in disrepair.

Yang Fan surveyed the surroundings and gave an evaluation, "Not bad!"

Su Yuxuan, walking beside him, said, "Last year, Tolan City applied for federal funding to conduct extensive renovations on old communities throughout the city, adding extra insulation layers to all the outer walls, which now seems a very wise move."

Yang Fan nodded lightly, "The administrative officer of Tolan City indeed has foresight."

Su Yuxuan was about to speak, her beautiful eyes suddenly sharpened.

Because she saw Yang Fan’s right hand gesture towards the frozen greenery not far away.

A white Ice Mosquito flew like an arrow towards them, hovering in front of Yang Fan.

Something bizarre happened.
