Chapter 645: The Copper Skin
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
“Well, you should be careful,” the other man said. “The Sun family’s power in Dao is far greater than you think, and he has already offered an underworld offer of $50 million for you. It is enough to make people crazy!”
“OK, I know,” the man in the hooded coat said.
After leaving the room, the other man’s face became gloomy. “He only knows little about death,” he whispered.
In addition to paying back the favor he owed, the more important reason was fear. He had seen their means. Their ability to use poison was extraordinary. He now felt that he might be poisoned by them. If an accident happened to the young man in the house, he might not be able to live. He had to cooperate with him as much as possible to ensure his safety. He wanted the people in the house to die more than anyone else.
On the other side of the door, the man in the hooded coat sat on the edge of the bed and looked at the street outside behind the curtains. His body began to twitch. It seemed that he was suffering an unspeakable pain.
Ah!
He bit his teeth and roared in a low sound like a beast. He gripped the wooden table tightly. The solid wood in his hand turned into broken pieces. He crouched painfully on the ground. After a long time, the pain slowly receded. The man laid on the floor. He moved a few times before slowly climbing up.
Tick!
Blood dripped on the floor from the hood. It was a strange dark red, like a mixture of blood and ink. He coughed and reached out his hand to wipe the blood from the corner of his mouth.
He sighed. “I can’t wait that long.”
Although it was late at night, Dao was already bustling. A man wearing black walked along the street.
After a while, the man stopped. In front of him was a high-end villa residential area, which was the most upscale residential area in Dao. The people living there were powerful, so the security was extremely strict. The residents who lived there were well-recognized by the professionally trained security personnel. It was necessary to have a door card to enter. There were security guards for 24 hours patrol.

It was not easy to enter this community, but, in a flash, the man in black entered the community. He keenly avoided the patrolling team and cameras.
This neighborhood was built on a hill. The villa at the highest point was the most luxurious one. The man finally made his way to the villa. The door was locked.
Woof! Woof! Woof! Dogs barked in the night.
The man circled around the villa.
Among the villas, the bodyguards discovered a man wandering outside.
“There is someone outside,” a bodyguard said. “I am going out to see.”
“Wait, don’t be alone,” another bodyguard said. “Go in groups of three.”
The three bodyguards went out and came to the place where they had seen the man on the monitor but discovered nothing.
“There was someone here,” the bodyguard said.
Inside the villa, the situation was tense.
“Master, he is coming,” Mr. Lin said.
“Oh?” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Are you leaving soon?” Mr. Lin asked.
“No hurry, Mr. Lin, he will not come in. This time he is just testing us.” Sun Zhengrong sounded certain.
“What if he comes in?” Mr. Lin asked.
“It would be better if he came in,” Sun Zhengrong said. “We could solve this problem entirely.”
Out in the courtyard, the man in black encountered a bulldog. It came forward but did not approach him. Instead, it fell to the ground a few feet away and twitched.
“Sun Zhengrong!” A low voice came from under the hood like a demon from hell.
“He is coming in,” Sun Zhengrong said.
Arrows began to fly.
Guns were prohibited but not arrows. At least, the control of arrows were not as strict as that of guns. In fact, an arrow’s power was not small at all. It could easily cause death.
The shadow was quickly dodging the arrows. His speed was incredibly fast. He was even more dexterous than a monkey. His movements almost could not be seen.
Rat-tat!
An arrow hit him, but it made a dull sound like hitting hard wood. It immediately bounced off.
“It’s useless!” shouted one of the bodyguards. “Damn it!”
A man came out holding two things: two guns with silencers.
Thud! A light of fire flared.

Under the illumination of the light, the speed of the intruder was fast. But, after all, he was no match bullets. Several bullets hit him, but he did not seem to be affected. He was still moving quickly.
Were the guns useless? For a time, everyone was a little dumbfounded. The man in black took the opportunity to enter the crowd.
“Push open!” A calm and powerful voice sounded.
Zoom! The light of two blades shone in the deep night. Hao held one blade upright while penetrating the other one into the heart of the intruder. But, the blade was blocked by something. Even his skin was not pierced.
“Soft armor?” Hao rushed back.
Cough! The man in black coughed twice and said, “How are you feeling?”
“What do you mean?” Hao asked.
“Do you feel that your body is weak?” the man in black asked.
“What a sh*t!” Hao swayed and shook his head. As if there was a ghost in front of him, he blinked hard. “No, I am poisoned!”
“Hao!” Mr. Lin shouted.
“Mr. Lin, don’t come over, I am poisoned,” Hao said. He was really weak. He could not even hold the blade in the hand. “I was very careful, but I was still poisoned!”
Knowing the opponent’s means, he careful to avoid contact as much as possible. Even though there had been no contact, he was somehow still poisoned.
“I still underestimated him,” Hao said.
Cling-clang! The blade dropped to the ground.
“Master, you go first, I’ll prevent him from entering,” Hao said.
Beep! Suddenly, the sirens rang.
Whoosh! Instead of retreating, the man in black rushed straight forward.
Puff! A bunch of powder blew into his face. He immediately felt a prickling pain. It was as if there was a flame in his eyes. “Lime powder?”
Zoom! A light of blade stabbed into his body but encountered a very hard block.
“What is that?” Hao wondered.
Buzz! There were flying insects everywhere. They looked like the flame of a dragon.
“Go!” Another person suddenly appeared. He was wearing a long coat and cloak that covered his face. The intruder, whose eyes were temporarily damaged by the lime powder, was whisked away by the other man. He was extremely fast and disappeared into the dark with several jumps.
“There is another one!” Hao yelled
Toot! A police car arrived outside the courtyard.
“Mr. Lin, you go greet the police,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“OK,” Mr. Lin said.
“Master Gu, I’ll leave it to you,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Yeah.” A bald-headed man in his 40s stood next to Sun Zhengrong He had a medium build, soft eyes, and a good face. He looked at Hao, who had fallen to the ground. “Poison from Miao Territory!”
“Can you solve it?” Sun Zhengrong asked.
“My ability is slightly worse than Wu San’s, but this poison is not difficult for me,” the man said.
In the end, the police did not come in. The people in the yard were carried into the room. Hao was saved, but he did not have much strength.
“Master, why wasn’t he hurt by guns or arrows?” Sun Zhengrong asked. Watching the surveillance, they found that neither the bullet nor blade could break through the defenses of his body. “Was it soft armor?”
“No, it was the skin,” the Master Gu said.
“Skin?” Sun Zhengrong was shocked.
“Yes, there is a secret method of soaking your body in a special medical soup to make the skin miraculously become tough and invulnerable,” Master Gu said. “This method is indeed magical, but he must endure the pain that normal people can’t imagine. According to what you said about the last time you met, he seems to be a little impatient. There must be hidden dangers.”
When the medicine began to strengthen the body, it started with the skin. Next was the backbone and viscera. This man had only strengthened his skin. When the bullet hit his body, even if it was blocked, the organs and bones were also damaged.
“Mr. Lin, you go,” Sun Zhengrong said.
“Got it,” Mr. Lin said.
Among the abandoned villas in the Dao, there was a light and two men in black. One sat cross-legged on the ground, and the other was tapping his back in a special way.
Cough! Cough! Spit!
A large mouthful of blood was spit out.

Dreamland
Dolores is a lucky girl with a high-level avatar in a very popular game. She did not level it up; she got it through some fortunate circumstances. She is not interested in fighting and levelling; all she wants is to have some fun and follow her own fantasies. If only there would not be all those idiots who intend to kill her, capture her, or simply use her. And those flaws in the game! Wait, what? Those pesky game characters now appear in the real world? And they can do magic? How did this happen? Adding to her troubles, her crush does not even look at her. As Dolores tries only to survive and hide between 'normal' people, she encounters stranger and stranger things that force her hand and, in the end, she has the answers to a lot of questions. It is a slow-developing story. I had a lot of fun writing it and hope to share it with you, dear reader if you also enjoy it. On the other hand, putting it in an acceptable form requires much work and energy. I intend to bring it to its end and not let it unfinished. I hate it when I encounter unfinished stories, so I understand the feeling. This is not a classical isekai story. There is travel between the two worlds, and the game world seems to be so very real... well, this is one plot of the story. This is not an MMORP game story. Part of the action happens inside a game world, but it is treated as a real world. Updates on a weekly basis, at least Monday and Friday, with additional bonus chapters as time and energy allow. Cover art: White Flower as A Dark Fairy by Darkrealmsmaiden Yolanda gracefully allowed me to use her dark fairy as cover. There are many more beautiful works of art to be discovered at her site: https://www.deviantart.com/darkrealmsmaiden Additional Grammar Trigger Warning: As a non-native speaker, I do my best. Unfortunately, this is not enough for people with a low tolerance for warped sentences and... they may want to skip the story :( Well, you have been warned :) I appreciate it when a reader points out a sentence that needs rework. That may spare a follow-up reader some pain and helps me understand where my English grammar problems are. * We thought we made the best game in Earth's history We thought we made the best interfaces ever seen We thought we made it - lifelike But it far exceeded our expectations. Dolores, I hope you're happy now. I hope you're alive now...
