Chapter 033: Not Recognizing

Wang Bo walked alone along the beach for over half an hour, letting the cool sea breeze blow over him, emptying his mind, gazing up at the starry sky above—silent and profound, brilliant and enchanting.

The boundless starry sky scattered endless starlight, shining upon the beach like a soft feathery cloak draped over Wang Bo, adding a touch of sanctity and mystery to him.

Wang Bo shifted his gaze from the myriad stars to the moon overhead. He knew that the moon actually does not emit light; the reason it shines is that it reflects the light of the sun.

But interestingly, after this reflection, something mysterious happened—Wang Bo could no longer absorb moonlight to strengthen himself.

But it didn't matter; even without the moonlight, Wang Bo still had the Ripple Qigong.

With the help of Ripple Qigong, Wang Bo's steel body continued to evolve.

And this evolution brought earth-shattering changes to Wang Bo, making him more and more powerful.

Wang Bo lowered his head, watching the surging seawater and listening to the crashing sound of the waves, and couldn't help sighing, "An ordinary life is truly wonderful."

He liked ordinary life the most.

But unfortunately, there are always some troubles in the world that disturb Wang Bo's quiet and ordinary life.

The next morning, Wang Bo was still sleeping when he was awakened by a noisy knocking at the door.

He opened the door, and standing at the entrance was still Chunli in her qipao, along with Yazi, who had changed into a police uniform and looked quite dashing.

Yazi was born with a perfect figure; her body was incredibly good, and she could pull off any kind of clothing.

Even in a police uniform, the wearer still exuded the allure of a uniform fetish.

Wang Bo sighed, welcomed the two women in, then took out the gourmet tablecloth and ordered three cups of coffee, two for the women and one for himself.

Wang Bo picked up his coffee and took a satisfying sip. The bitter taste, with a hint of rich aroma, instantly refreshed him. "So, what brings you to see me so early in the morning?"

Yazi looked curiously at the Gourmet's Tablecloth and asked, "What is this?"

"Gourmet tablecloth."

"Gourmet tablecloth?" Yazi felt she had heard of this thing somewhere. After thinking carefully for a while, she finally remembered, "Isn't this something from the Doraemon series?"

Doraemon was serialized in the 1970s, and it is not only Wang Bo's childhood memory but also the childhood memory of many people.

Among them was Yazi.

After all, this world also has this great work.

"The Gourmet Tablecloth is indeed from the Doraemon world, and by the way, the Copy Mirror is too," Wang Bo nodded in acknowledgment. "These are all rewards from the multiverse gods for my work."

Yazi couldn't help clapping her hands and said, "I knew that copy mirror felt so familiar, so that's how it is. But the copy mirror I saw seems a bit different from the one in the manga."

"Normal." Wang Bo said while drinking coffee, showing off: "My replica mirror is one that has been upgraded with the Woodcutter's Spring. It would be a miracle if you recognized it."

“The... the Woodcutter's Spring.” Yazi was so startled she nearly spat out the coffee in her mouth. “You even have that thing?”

This is a really good thing.

Wang Bo nodded.

Yazi put down her coffee, leaned in, and a charming smile appeared on her face. "Master, besides the Copy Mirror, the Gourmand's Tablecloth, and the Woodcutter's Spring, what other good things do you have?"

"Want to know?" Wang Bo looked at her with a faint, ambiguous smile.

Yazi nodded repeatedly.

“Guess.”

Yazi: ...

Chunli: ...

Wang Bo laughed and downed his coffee in one gulp, then said with a sly grin, "You're not my wife, so how could I possibly tell you something so confidential? And don't call me 'master'—I'm not your master."

Yazi snorted, "If you won't admit it, fine. I knew you were trying to trick me into being your wife, you're a complete scoundrel."

Chunli couldn't stand it anymore. She put down her coffee and tapped Yazi's head. "Yazi, stop messing around. Don't forget our real business."

Yazi pulled her face back, sat down on the sofa, took a photo out of her pocket, and placed it on the coffee table.

"You know this person in the photo, don't you."

“I don’t know him,” Wang Bo said decisively.

Chunli rolled her eyes adorably and said, 'I know you know him.'

“I really don’t know him.”

"Fine, then let's say you don't know him. I'll tell you who he is—he's Taishan, a brother who takes risks. The reason I suspected you were part of the drug trafficking ring is related to him."

Wang Bo: ...

Looking at the photo of Taishan, who was sneaking around holding a black package, he felt terrible. He never expected that the reason Chunli suspected him of being a member of a drug trafficking gang actually came from this guy.

Why does this person just keep haunting me?

Chunli continued, "I mentioned earlier that this international drug trafficking syndicate produces drugs in the Golden Triangle and sells them worldwide, with Southeast Asia being a hard-hit area. As the most prosperous city in Southeast Asia, an international metropolis with a population of several million, X Island is the top priority."

"Of the drugs that this international drug trafficking syndicate sells to Southeast Asia, X Island accounts for at least about thirty percent."

"And this Taishan is a member of this criminal group, specifically used for drug transportation. Given Taishan's relationship with you, along with your sudden possession of rubies, I once suspected that after being recruited by this drug trafficking organization, you became one of its members and deliberately dragged Taishan down, using him to transport drugs."

"But facts have proven me wrong."

Chunli said this, then looked at Wang Bo with some embarrassment.

Wang Bo sighed and said, "You're not just wrong—you're spectacularly wrong."

Chunli couldn't help sticking out her tongue, acting cute.

Wang Bo couldn't be bothered to pursue it further and asked, "You suddenly called me here today to tell me this guy is dealing drugs. What exactly do you mean? Do you want me to persuade him to turn over a new leaf? Sorry, I don't know him."

Wang Bocai had no desire to do such a thankless task.

Yazi said, "Actually, we didn't come here to ask you to persuade him to turn over a new leaf. After all, he has broken the law and must face the full punishment of the law. We hope that you can get in touch with him and find out from him who his supplier is and the route by which he obtains the goods from that supplier."

Wang Bo raised an eyebrow and said, "This should be your police's business, right? Since you know he's smuggling and dealing drugs, just go arrest him, interrogate him, tail him. With your police methods, getting the pickup route from him shouldn't be a big problem, should it?"

"Don't tell me you can't even do that. It makes me doubt your competence."
