The demon monk in the second dimension

Chapter 137 Request

City B, a well-known film and television shooting center.

"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Lei Guangquan!"

The photographer and the jewelry company representative both smiled warmly and bowed to Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi declined their invitation to dinner and flew to a twelve-story building in the city center, following the location provided by the cargo owner.

This entire building is a five-star luxury hotel, and its owner is Xia Zhi's seller, Angerman.

This is a man with long blond hair, a hooked nose, blue eyes, and who looks to be around forty years old.

Standing at the hotel entrance with four hostesses, he saw Xia Zhi descend from the sky and immediately went to greet her with a big smile.

"Mr. Lei Guangquan's presence is truly an honor to my humble abode."

Upon meeting, Xia Zhi immediately began using a spell similar to Legilimency on Angman to see what kind of trick he was up to.

As a result, a lot of information was unearthed.

"Mr. Angman is too kind."

Xia Zhi smiled meaningfully, nodded to Angerman, and walked into the hotel.

……

Although it was just Angelman and Xia Zhi dining together, they had to use the hotel's most luxurious private room.

Without waiting long, Angelman gave a few instructions to the lobby manager, and two young ladies wearing high-slit cheongsams, revealing their long, white legs, with beautiful faces and full figures, immediately began serving the dishes.

Seeing that Xia Zhi barely glanced at the two young ladies, after serving the dishes, Angerman asked them to leave and personally poured Xia Zhi a glass of wine.

During this time, he acted as if he had really invited Xia Zhi to dinner, constantly introducing the dishes on the table.

This job should have originally belonged to two young ladies wearing cheongsams.

If Xia Zhi is willing to listen, they can sit on his lap and introduce themselves.

But Xia Zhi didn't seem interested in them, and Angeman wasn't sure if Xia Zhi was faking it or not, so he simply told them to leave.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Angerman locked the door and asked Xia Zhi with a slightly flickering look in his eyes.

"Mr. Lei Guangquan, you must be in dire need of money lately, right?"

Xia Zhi nodded noncommittally.

"Indeed. But you're not the first person to say that to me. Let's just forget about making friends."

"No, no, no, I'm just a businessman. How could I dare to make connections with S-class heroes?"

Angerman waved his hands repeatedly.

But after a while, he chuckled and said it casually.

"I have a little hobby: I like to collect some unusual wild animals. If I come across one, I'm willing to pay a high price to buy it."

Xia Zhi's eyes flickered.

When Angman refers to a special beast, he is actually subtly asking Xia Zhi whether he sells weirdos.

After all, some wolf-level and tiger-level monsters can actually be described as mutated wild beasts.

This is a typical test that shouldn't be known by too many people.

After all, the buying and selling of monsters is an activity that is severely cracked down on by the Hero Association.

Xia Zhi glanced at Angerman's thoughts again using the Mind Control Technique, and nodded with a smile.

"Okay, I'll look for it."

"Thank you so much! I don't like alcohol or cigarettes, but I love this!"

Angman was overjoyed and quickly took a small box out of his pocket and handed it to Xia Zhi.

"Here, take this as my deposit."

Xia Zhi took the box, opened it, and then channeled her magic into a stone inside that looked like a diamond but was actually different.

Upon absorbing the magic, wisps of mist rose from the transparent yet incredibly hard stone, as if it had been stuffed with cotton.

Xia Zhi immediately withdrew her magic, and the wisps of mist disappeared as well.

Xia Zhi nodded in satisfaction.

That's right, this is the Space Stone he wanted, and it's the target of this transaction.

"very good."

Xia Zhi put the stone away and smiled at Angerman.

"Just as Mr. Angman likes wild animals, I also like these special stones. I hope Mr. Angman can help me pay more attention to them, considering we are both collectors."

Angerman immediately agreed.

"No problem at all."

An S-class hero asking for your help is doing you a favor!

So many people want to help S-class heroes but can't!

The two chatted for a while, and Xia Zhi's expression became more sincere than at the beginning before she took her leave.

Upon returning home, Angerman bowed his head to a man in black in his study.

"grown ups."

The unidentified creature, dressed in a black robe that covered its entire body, emitted a voice that sounded like a robot, clearly modified.

"How's it going?"

Angerman answered respectfully.

"We've successfully made contact. Thunder Fist is willing to help find some beast-type monsters."

"Hmm. After all, it's very rare to see an S-class hero as short of money as him. Let's keep in touch."

A red light flashed in the man's eyes.

"However, liking money isn't a bad thing. We can make friends with him through money first, and then slowly bring him to our side."

At this moment, Angerman asked the man in black with a puzzled look.

"Sir, is the Thunder Fist really that important? After all, he's only ranked 15th in S-class."

The man in black glanced at Angerman and spoke.

"Hero rankings are based primarily on contributions, not strength. Otherwise, King, the strongest man on Earth, wouldn't only be ranked 7th."

He felt it necessary to let Angman know the importance of the summer solstice in order to prevent the mission from going wrong, so he revealed some information.

"We received information that Lightning Fist and S-rank 2nd-ranked Tornado of Tremor had fought, but Tornado seemed unable to defeat him."

Angerman was taken aback.

"What? That's the Hero Association's most powerful force, the Trembling Tornado!"

He then understood why the organization had suddenly put him into contact with the Thunder Light Fist, and nodded repeatedly.

"That Thunder Fist is indeed worth recruiting, even if it costs a lot of money."

"Hmm. Anyway, we don't know what the Stone Organization is for. If the Lightning Fist can be developed, we can try to get it from them or buy the relevant information."

The man in black nodded.

"It will take some time for the new association to be established. Your task now is to build a good relationship with it. Don't mess up this simple task."

Staring at him with those glowing red eyes, Angman broke out in a cold sweat and quickly lowered his head.

"Yes, my lord!"

……

"organize?"

Thinking about the information she had obtained from Angman's mind, Xia Zhi guessed.

"Is it the organization that once imprisoned Tatsumaki and Fubuki, possesses a large number of powerful robots, and is suspected to be the mastermind behind everything?"

Angman was merely a pawn placed in the open by the other side, and he didn't know much about the organization.

"I never imagined that the establishment of the New Hero Association was also related to the organization. It's truly a grand scheme."

He observed three seconds of silence for the organization's ultimate fate.

"It's a pity that with Saitama around, he can overturn any chessboard. This organization probably never imagined that there would be such an outrageous existence as Saitama in the world."

Chapter 138 Meteorite Arrival

What the organization wants to do has nothing to do with the summer solstice.

As long as he can be offered enough benefits, he'd be willing to cooperate with the organization, or even join it!

For example, the Space Stone this time.

Space stones are an essential material for making Qiankun bags.

After being activated by Xia Zhi's magic, the wisps of mist generated inside the space stone are a chaotic manifestation of spatial power.

Given enough spatial power, this mist can form a subspace.

By fixing the subspace with a magic circle and creating an entrance/exit using other materials, items can be stored and retrieved.

This is the principle behind the Qiankun Bag.

The amount of storage space a Qiankun Bag can hold depends mainly on the number of Space Stones—which determines how much spatial power can be used.

The second level is the skill of a weapon refiner.

However, a third-rate weapon refiner can probably only refine a space bag with a volume of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) in diameter.

At the summer solstice, one can refine a Qiankun bag with a diameter of thirty zhang, which is a cube with a length, width and height of one hundred meters.

This is also the limit of the Qiankun Bag.

Going further up, the required materials and skill levels increase exponentially.

The resulting artifacts are truly high-end spatial magical treasures, capable of storing items and possessing many other functions. They are typically named with the suffixes of words like "palace," "tower," "pavilion," or "grande."

The biggest difference between a spatial magic item and a Qiankun bag is that the spatial power inside a Qiankun bag is unstable and can be consumed.

Although the consumption is not high, new space stones are needed to replenish them every once in a while.

However, spatially stable magical artifacts will not.

Moreover, the Qiankun Bag is easily damaged, which makes it inferior to spatial magic treasures.

If there are enough materials here, Xia Zhi can also refine a regular spatial magic item.

If not, then make a Qiankun bag as a token gesture.

In fact, Xia Zhi's body can now hold quite a lot of things, even living things like tornadoes.

But if we fight with all our might, these things will definitely be damaged.

……

The weirdos that Angerman wanted were easy to satisfy.

Xia Zhi didn't even do it herself, but entrusted the matter to Boqi.

Pochi wagged its tail and ran out, and soon came downstairs barking.

"Wang!"

Xia Zhi guessed that Boqi was able to act so quickly because he must have captured a monster from the Monster Association below.

When Xia Zhi went out, she saw a strange man following behind little Boqi. Despite being over five meters tall, he was as obedient as a little brother.

It has three white marks on its forehead, which look like three burning flames.

Its eyes were a deep, icy blue, and its tough fur was a common light gray.

Its four paws are strong and powerful, and its tail is held high.

Although it looks as majestic and imposing as a wolf, it is not actually like that.
