Chapter 517: Pink-eyed

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the midwinter of January 2019, a row of newly planted brown fruit trees in a mountain range in southern China were glowing verdant and stubbornly sprouting and spitting leaves in defiance of the freezing temperatures.

These fruit trees were a type of vitality fruit trees, called Yuan Hong Fruit Trees, and were vigorously promoted by the local Special Affairs Department.

This kind of fruit tree will bear fruits in two years after surviving for one year. Absorbing the vitality from the heavens and earth, it would produce a red fruit the size of a fist, called the Yuan Hong Fruit. The enrichment of the thin vitality in the fruit made it an important raw material for cultivating many kinds of pills.

In order for the vitality industry to flourish, the supply of these raw materials was of the utmost importance. They had to be planted large-scale and have a large harvest.

At this time, on the barren hill, there were three youths in their twenties with sun-kissed skin working hard and patrolling the hill, preventing anyone pink-eyed 1 individuals who decided to disturb the area.

They still looked young, as if they had just graduated from college two years ago. The weather was cold, but their bodies emitted bouts of hot energy and sweat their entire person. Although they looked like they had been patrolling for a long time, their steps were still brisk and light, making it obvious that they were quite capable.

Not caring about the sweat, they quickly shuttled between the trees and carefully examined every fruit tree.

One of them was looking around when he suddenly stopped at one of the trees near the foot of the mountain.

He looked down to inspect closely for a few moments before his expression suddenly changed. Taking out his walkie-talkie, he shouted to his two companions, “Liu Gang, Wang Jun, hurry over to the western foot of the mountain. I don’t know who it was, but the fruit trees here have been chopped!”

“What did you say, Li Tao? Speak louder. What? The tree was chopped? It must be those pink-eyed lazy bums! Ever since the last time they came out and got captured by that Hero, they never dared to cause any trouble again. Did they become bold again?” The urgent voice of his companions sounded from the walkie-talkie, accompanied by the sound of rushing footsteps.

The three young entrepreneurs quickly met up. Li Tao, Liu Gang, and Wang Jun all inspected the large fruit tree in front of them, and discovered that the trees were all badly damaged with knife marks crisscrossing the bark everywhere. They immediately felt like crying.

The brown bark had been severely slashed, each slash several inches deep. Streams of gelatinous material slowly dripped down the grooves, as if they were tears shed by the innocent trees.

Judging from the force, the culprit must have aimed to completely cut down the trees. However, since it was not an ordinary tree, they did not succeed.

“It’s over. When we were training, Teacher specifically said that this seedling’s growth conditions were harsh. Now that it’s been cut up so much, it’ll definitely not bear any fruits this year. Worse yet, it might even die. Damn it!” Liu Gang said painfully.

He was the head of the three men and paid the most effort. Most of the money used to start this mountain was found by him, so he was naturally the most distressed.

His companion, Wang Jun, slapped his hands and said hatefully, “Damn it, back when the moon was about to fall, we took such a great risk and remained on this mountain for two years while everyone ran away! The harvest would be this year. Come autumn, and all of us would be millionaires! How could this happen?!”

“It’s all because you two were miserly and refused to hire bodyguards. Otherwise, how would something like this happen? This fruit tree was planted first and was the most likely to bear fruit.” The other companion, Li Tao, reproached.

Liu Gang held his head in despair and said helplessly, “Who would have thought that there would be someone willing to do something like this with that Hero around? Those who even have the slightest capabilities all charge exorbitant prices. How much would we have to give out to satisfy them? We can’t be working for two years only for the fruits to end up in someone else’s pockets, right?”

“There’s no point saying these things now. What do we do?”

The three men exchanged looks, endured the pain in their hearts, and began to think about this problem.

Now that there was a tree that was chopped today, which tree would it be tomorrow? How many places could they guard?

It was not easy to plant something in the mountains. It was already hard to solve technical problems, but trying to solve villains they could not see was even harder…

“What should you do? It’s simple. Just transfer this land to us. This 200,000 yuan should be enough for the two years of your hard work. It’ll save us from having to fix a barren hill…” An extremely arrogant voice sounded from above.

At the same time, a half-empty black school bag was thrown down. The bag landed on the ground with a ‘thump’, and several red round objects peeked out from the large opening.

“It’s you?!” The three entrepreneurs looked up and saw several people in the air, and immediately understood.

In the air stood a middle-aged man with a greasy face, a sage-like old man, and two western-styled bodyguards.

These four people could all stand in the air. According to the pamphlet issued by the Special Affairs Department, they were roughly at least Bucket-level masters!

According to the instructions in the pamphlet, Rice-level ordinary people like them should avoid those people and never offend them easily.

That was right. Those pink-eyed bastards were all ordinary people in the neighborhood. They were lazy and unwilling to make progress and learn. They were envious of their achievements, so they sneaked up to sabotage and do harm to others.

However, those people were also timid. Ever since they had been disciplined by that Hero, how would they dare to cause trouble again?

Were they not afraid that the Hero would bring them to justice? That Hero hates evildoers as if they were his own personal enemies.

The greasy-faced man among the four had come here a year before wanting the three young men to hand over this barren hill.

However, they had just overcome a number of technical difficulties and managed to keep the Hong Yuan Fruit Tree alive. They could make a fortune, and money strengthens courage, so how could they be willing to just hand it over?

Furthermore, if such a big figure also took a liking to this place, then that further proved that this barren hill was a good place. All three of them were vigorous and energetic, and wanted to achieve something big, so they wanted to give the mountain away even less.

At that time, they had the Hero as their backer and had spoken with determination.

Their head, Liu Gang, had said, “It doesn’t matter how much you’re willing to pay. If you really want one, then go find your own mountain!”

Did the fact that they actually dared to use this kind of despicable method mean that something happened to that Hero? Or was it that they found a new backer?

Thinking about this, the three entrepreneurs paled and felt faint regret in their heart.

The greasy man was the middle-aged man with the surname Liu from the Pan family gathering earlier. With a fierce face, as if he saw through the three’s thoughts at the moment, he immediately shouted, “This is just a lesson. If you don’t sign the transfer contract, then be prepared to die!”

“Y-You, you dare to kill people in broad daylight?” Liu Gang subconsciously grew angry at his words.

After all, they were hot-blooded youths who had just transitioned from the Era of Technology. It would be very hard for their hearts to allow this sudden and brutal plunder.

Although they did feel regret in their hearts, they did not want to verbally agree so easily.

“Oh, the people here really are different… You’re just a bunch of little ants, but you still dare to be so presumptuous? You don’t know how to respect the difference between superiority and inferiority, you’re really in need of a lesson.” The sage-like old man, Ling Yunzi, shook his head and frowned, as if he was very unaccustomed to the simple customs of the Earthlings.

“Haha, please don’t be angry, Immortal. They’re just common people from the countryside. They have low qualifications, can’t cultivate, and don’t know the methods of gods. That’s why they don’t understand anything and don’t know about reverence.” The surname with the surname Liu said ingratiatingly to Ling Yunzi, and said to the two Western-clothed bodyguards behind them, “Zhang San, Li Si, give them a little show.”

“Yes, boss.” The two exchanged looks and replied in unison.

The moment they finished speaking, one of them held out three fingers. Three blood-red energies shot out, obviously just a common means of releasing magical energy.

However, even if it was just an ordinary means, the three young men had no way of resisting either.

“Bang, bang, bang”, with three sounds like bullets exiting their chambers, they hit the three people on their chest.

The three men fell at the same time, crashing into the clump of fruit trees, breaking branches and scattering leaves. Their faces contorted in pain, and they grew flustered.

“Damn it, you really dare to attack us in broad daylight? Are you really not afraid of that Hero?”

The three spoke while clutching onto their chests. They hurt as if they had just been hit by a sledgehammer, and even speaking became a difficult task.

“Hmph, with Senior Ling Yunzi here, what can Vigilante A do even if he was around? Senior can crush him with a single finger!” The middle-aged man with the surname Liu said in disdain.

“Yes.” Ling Yunzi stroked his beard with satisfaction at the words.

“Then, aren’t you afraid that the Special Affairs Department or the Truth Department will investigate this matter?” The three young entrepreneurs looked and tried to find another backer.

“Hmph, ignorant fools. How pitiful. They’ll be having a hard time protecting themselves soon, how would they be bothered with little kids like you?” The middle-aged man sneered.

This was the advantage of information. While these lower-level people drifted with the current, upper-class people like them could make preparations early and cast their lots to avoid danger.

Senior Ling Yunzi was the lot they cast.

Earthlings were too ignorant and had no idea how terrifying the Upper Realm was. What appeared on Earth now was but a drop of water compared to the vast sea, an insignificant speck of dust.

The three men looked at each other and finally realized how fragile people like them, sheep who simply held money in their hands, were without the righteous allies of justice who maintained order.

The three men gave in to despair with no other ideas. Just as they were about to bow their heads and give in, a voice from heaven sounded from afar.

“You dare to plunder others’ wealth under broad daylight, how shameless! As someone carrying the mandate of heaven, I will never allow such a thing pass!”

“The Hero is here!” The three young entrepreneurs immediately felt the pain in their chest lift. They rose up from the ground and looked at the direction of the sound, waiting in anticipation.

After a while, they saw a radiant and elegant young man drop from the clouds and land opposite the sage-like old man.

People really were different from one another. Judging by the old man’s aura, he must be extremely strong. However, the fact that he did something like that proved that he was the same as robbers and those fools who became pink-eyed!

As for this Hero, he was an outstanding man. His actions and words were clear in conscience and were admired by people around the world.

Would it be brutal violence that succeeds or righteousness and justice that prevails?

They felt uneasy in their heart and closely watched the scene.

They had already prayed to the Buddha in their hearts for it to progress like before. The Hero would eliminate the evildoer in an instant, and return light and peace to the land.
