Who gave you permission to travel through time with Earth?

Chapter 131 Miss Lu

"Miss."

Outside the room, another composed middle-aged man with a meticulously groomed beard entered. He respectfully handed Zhou Tongtong a black folder.

"This is your temporary identity information in Tietu. I'm sorry, we sneaked out this time and couldn't use our family's resources to forge a higher-level identity. I apologize for the inconvenience."

"It's alright, this is enough. Thank you, Uncle Li, for tolerating my willfulness."

Zhou Tongtong smiled in response. After all, it wasn't just that he couldn't use the family's power. After obtaining the player's identity, Lu Chen had been listed as one of the heirs of the Lu family in the Ninth Military Region, and his every move attracted countless eyes.

Maintaining his identity not only consumes his positive and negative points, but his life itself is also full of competition and hidden dangers. Zhou Tongtong has already taken a risk by coming out this time, so of course she can't just openly expose her identity.

Otherwise, why would she have chosen such a frustrating way to infiltrate Tie Tu? Zhou Tongtong took the folder with a somewhat stiff expression, quickly flipping through it to familiarize herself once again with her new identity.

When you're carrying out missions in the main world, the system won't give you any special treatment. Your original identity and status on the main planet are already considered cheating, so any further arrangements would be like going on a rampage.

What's more, these are missions to hunt down other stowaways? In most cases, the system only provides players with the most basic location information; even their names and strength are often vague.

It is full of randomness, and sometimes the hunter and the prey are of vastly different levels. After all, for the main star system, no matter which one dies, it's just a bug that has died.

Therefore, Zhou Tongtong brought almost all the experts from the Lu family's own camp this time, just to ensure that the hunting mission would go without any mistakes. In terms of other details, she really couldn't be too demanding.

"But Uncle Li, a preparatory class student at the Third High School in the main urban area... is it really necessary to use this identity? Actually, I didn't leave a very good impression on you during my student days..."

"After all, nobody likes being in a cage, but Miss, this is the limit that the 'Merchant Guild' can arrange. At least it guarantees you one chance to go to the core level... It will make things much more convenient."

"...Alright then."

Zhou Tongtong sighed and resigned herself to her fate. She really didn't have much room for complaint in her current situation. Fortunately, she was at least a graduate, meaning she had no homework, no social connections, and no need to attend classes.

"By the way, what about the person I asked you to investigate? Did you find anything noteworthy?"

She asked the girl accompanying them, the housekeeper named Ye Zhi, who had so far spent the most money Zhou Tongtong had spent. The latter, somewhat flustered, pulled out her notebook, searched through it, and said:

"No Miss... This name was indeed recorded in the Tie Tu preparatory class, but that was in the identity file thirteen years ago. Now this person is missing and most likely is already dead."

This is the only additional situation that needs attention... Zhou Tongtong's eyes turned serious. The Seventh District Preparatory Class, when the six of them met during the first instance, someone did introduce themselves like that.

Xu Rou, the girl who showed great resilience in the Beast Company's reservoir, and who was also lucky enough to break the escape rules and become the first to log out of the detached state of the instance, becoming a formal player.

She might be in this city, and as a free-state copy, she would certainly have a better starting point than others, making it very likely that she would participate in the Bronze Hall's recruitment test.

but now……

"He looks harmless, but that two-faced brat is actually the only one among us who even faked his name. What a waste of my feelings."

"Judging from her facial features, there's no one like her in the preparatory class at Third High School. The chances of us actually meeting her are slim, so we don't need to worry about her revealing Miss's whereabouts..."

Ye Zhi carefully added, then was met with Zhou Tongtong's somewhat distraught gaze. She then lost control and yelled at Ye Zhi.

"Nonsense! I stayed up all night checking each file to confirm it. If you guys could find a decent profiler, would I be in this predicament?"

"Miss is right! I deserve to die!"

Before they knew it, they had reached the top of the broken building. The wind, mixed with sand, lashed their faces, carrying a dry and faint smell of rust. The few seams in their clothes were quickly filled with grains.

"Miss, Tianyou, the weather is really nice today."

"..."

Zhou Tongtong's lips twitched, lamenting the abrupt change of topic. Just then, the tremors on the tracks reached their limit, and they could already see the black dragon train rapidly approaching, the sand curtain being directly smashed to pieces!

The work of a grappler is not something an ordinary person can do. Trains are known for their rocket-like speed, so how could an ordinary iron hook possibly get on them? It would either melt or be blown away as soon as it got close.

Moreover, even if one were lucky enough to hook onto the train, the impact of being dragged by it would be enough to tear off both arms along with most of the chest and abdomen, often resulting in immediate death. There are no emergency rescue facilities available here.

Therefore, the Lu family members standing on the broken building at this moment were all players, and their physical abilities were at least beyond the range of ordinary humans, so smuggling was not too difficult for them.

...Despite their status and skills, they were forced to resort to hitchhiking and smuggling like people from impoverished areas, and most of them still felt a burning shame on their faces.

Zhou Tongtong didn't care about any of that. She had done far more serious dirty deeds than this. As the black train roared past, she quickly braced herself, and the fuel inside her body rapidly ignited.

Then his entire forearm shot upwards, his five fingers leaving a trail of sparks as he scraped across the bulkhead! Finally, with a thud, he grabbed the outer metal rod, and his body was instantly pulled forward and disappeared!

"very good."

Hanging outside the tracks, Zhou Tongtong muttered to herself. Then, the metal cable connecting her arm and body quickly retracted, pressing her body against the surface of the carriage, making her stand steadily outside a large glass window...

She looked inside; there was no one else in the room, but a plate of freshly eaten lamb chops sat on the table, indicating that the room's occupant had recently left.

She resisted the urge to smash the window and rush in, to enjoy herself first. She turned to make sure the other attendants had followed, and then the group slowly climbed to the top of the train to regroup.

Fang Jin, who had already entered the third instance, was completely unaware of what was happening outside. Neither of them knew that their mortal enemy was so close, and they could meet just a window apart.

At this moment, there was still a full day before their group arrived in Tietu City.
