Zhao Guang went downstairs, drove off and headed straight for the tractor factory. However, as he passed by a pharmacy, Zhao Guang suddenly stopped, “Hello, do you have painkillers, the strong kind?” “You should go to a hospital to have that looked at.” “How can you curse at me? I’m here to buy painkillers,” Zhao Guang said to the shopkeeper, somewhat at a loss for words. “Who cursed at you? I said for strong painkillers you should go to a hospital. How could we possibly have those here? Don’t you know that those strong painkillers are illicit substances?” Zhao Guang’s eyes widened incredulously. Was this really the case? “Then, is there any place where I can buy them?” “You’re not thinking of buying heroin, are you, brother? There are better things to do, don’t take an irreversible path.” “Who wants that stuff? I just need painkillers, for a special use. Don’t worry, I won’t sell them to anyone else.” “Really just painkillers? And you won’t sell them to anyone else, only use them yourself?” the other party asked hesitantly. Seeing a glimmer of hope, Zhao Guang quickly nodded, “Right, right, just for my own use. If you’re worried, we can sign a contract stipulating it’s for personal use, you won’t be responsible.” The other party rolled their eyes. Such a contract was obviously illegal. If they actually signed it, they would be unable to escape responsibility if issues arose later, as the law wouldn’t recognize it. “Are you sure? Most strong painkillers are addictive. But you can’t find these in our country. If you go abroad, though, you can find them.” Zhao Guang hadn’t known about this before, and it was indeed his first time hearing it. “Do I really have to go abroad to buy them? That seems like too much trouble.” “We have them domestically as well, but if you really need them and the quantity is large, I might have a way in.” “Really? That’s great, I do need quite a lot.” Whether it was a lot or a little, even if he didn’t use it all, he could store it. He believed that this stuff could still be sold in the Otherworld. The addictive flaw existed in this world, but that might not be the case in the Otherworld. He had seen some things before that might be traded from Ocoro. “Here, this is the address. When you go, don’t say I sent you, I won’t admit it. Also, don’t talk more than necessary when you’re there. If problems arise in the future, that’s on you.” Zhao Guang quickly nodded his understanding. Indeed, there’s a trick to everything; who would’ve thought that he would stumble upon such a channel here. Watching Zhao Guang leave, the shopkeeper looked around cautiously and scurried to the back to make a phone call. If it weren’t for Zhao Guang’s appearance as a clueless youth who genuinely seemed to need it, he would have been worried about entrapment. If he got caught selling this stuff, he wouldn’t stand a chance of getting out for several years. But the profit was high; otherwise, who would engage in such nerve-wracking activities? “Now I can get rid of that batch of drugs and I won’t bring in anything like that anymore.” He had stocked up on painkillers, but who would have thought that there’d be no market for them domestically, nearly resulting in a complete loss. Zhao Guang, holding the address, didn’t go there right away; he decided to check on the tricycle first. But just as he was coming out, he suddenly heard the sound of an urgent brake. He saw a car speeding down the road at a crazy rate, unable to stop. But ahead, there seemed to be a child who had frozen in place, staring blankly at the oncoming car. At the moment of danger, no one could react in time. Zhao Guang could have reacted, but he was too far away. Moreover, even if he had been closer, his speed wouldn’t have been enough. However, in that instant, Zhao Guang had an epiphany and, in the nick of time, pointed a chopstick he had been playing with in the direction of the child. No, it wasn’t a chopstick; it was a Magic Wand. The Magic Wand pointed at the child, and without uttering a spell, merely stimulated the Crystal Stone. In a flash, a Crystal Stone dimmed. Then, a nearly transparent green gleam flashed by so quickly that, even if one were staring directly at it, most would think their eyes were deceiving them. The moment the gleam hit the child, the child was “bang” struck by the car and sent flying high into the air, falling to the ground and rolling forward continuously. Under normal circumstances, the child would have had no chance of survival. The shrill sound of brakes screeching echoed all around as one car after another came to a stop. “Ah...” Along with a scream, a woman, as if driven mad, rushed forward. She had only looked away for a moment, and the child had run into the middle of the road all by himself. Watching the child tumble through the air and then fall back to the ground, the woman felt as if the sky had collapsed. The woman screamed as she ran towards him, but before she could reach him, the child stood up on his own. “Are you alright, where does it hurt, don’t scare Mommy, okay?” He didn’t startle you, but he sure startled the rest of us, the people around thought, their eyes wide with terror. That kind of impact would have been fatal for an adult, yet the child looked completely unharmed. He was only covered in a little dust; not even a scratch could be seen, as if they were witnessing a ghost in broad daylight. “Are you both okay, I’m so sorry, so sorry, it was all my fault for driving too fast,” said the driver, who was also somewhat incoherent from the scare. She had just sped up as the light was about to turn red, never expecting a child to suddenly appear in front of her. A collision at over sixty miles per hour, could anyone survive that? The child alone seemed confused about what had happened, looking around here and there. Meanwhile, the traffic police arrived at the scene, quickly starting to manage traffic flow. “Let’s get you to the hospital for a checkup first, to ensure there are no hidden injuries. And you, come with me to make a statement,” he said, looking at the long tire marks on the ground. Regardless of whether the light had been red, speeding was certainly an issue. The driver was completely in shock, obedient to whatever was told. Zhao Guang, on the other hand, was secretly astounded by the strength of the Air Shield’s defense. Ocoro had said that under three attacks from a Junior Warrior, the Air Shield would break, meaning the three attacks from a Junior Warrior would be stronger than the impact from a car going sixty miles per hour. Zhao Guang had seen the dent on the car’s front end very clearly. The formidable combat abilities from the Otherworld seemed to exceed his imagination. And that was just a Junior Warrior. He wondered how many levels there were above that. Thinking this, Zhao Guang’s heart grew even more determined, as he had already embarked on this path. “Never mind, never mind, I should go check on my tricycle first.” He had nothing to do with the incident anymore; he would leave the handling of this bizarre event to the police. After all, there were already plenty of supernatural incidents in this world; one more wouldn’t make a difference. Zhao Guang, concealing his identity and name, waved his hand and left without a trace.
