Chapter 1539: Chapter 1529: Giving Up

Jiang Cheng smiled, "Don’t worry, that day will never come." Mole looked at them both with bewilderment and asked, "Are you talking about that incident from before? Ah, don’t worry, I believe Jiang Cheng absolutely won’t be an undercover agent, and definitely won’t do anything harmful to others. I trust him!

Mole gave Jiang Cheng a friendly pat on the shoulder. To be honest, Jiang Cheng was deeply moved, yet didn’t show it much, only saying, "Good buddy! I, Jiang Cheng, will definitely not betray your trust!

Mole smiled at him and said, "No matter what buddy 3.7 does, I’ll always believe in you!

Mu Yu felt a bit awkward seeing them like that but still chimed in with Mole, saying, "Jiang Cheng, I trust you just like Mole does, and I hope you won’t betray our trust!

Jiang Cheng looked into Mu Yu’s eyes firmly and said, "I definitely won’t. In this lifetime, I will never betray your trust." At that moment, Mole chimed in, "Of course, we’ll always be good buddies!" The three then all burst into laughter.

Cough cough, now can we open the safe? I’m really curious about what’s inside." Mole said.

Hmm." Jiang Cheng nodded, slowly opened the safe, and discovered there was only a block of iron inside. He couldn’t help but look disappointed, and Mu Yu and Mole came over to see, showing the same disappointed expression as Jiang Cheng.

After trying so hard, we ended up with just a block of iron. At that moment, Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded, never expected it would be so troublesome only to get a block of iron in return. His face turned green with anger, and he forcefully struck out his hand.

Actually, he was puzzled inside, why would there be a block of iron? Mu Yu let out a sigh, and the others felt a sense of regret. Everyone felt bad, and suddenly the weather changed, thick clouds layered over, birds flew very low, it felt oppressive, like it was going to rain.

Everyone felt dejected, nobody spoke, even Jiang Cheng remained silent and didn’t say a word.

Some held their breath constantly, some seemed to be pondering, and some looked like they were weighed down by the clouds, feeling anxious.

At this moment, none were like the birds in the sky, even being oppressed by clouds, their flight obstructed, breathing became much harder, bodies felt heavy, yet still pursuing their dreams, flying freely, to cool places, places they dreamed of reaching.

Suddenly, the system made a noise, "Iron block! Iron block!" Everyone was startled, the atmosphere was so quiet you could hear a hair strand drop, the oppressive atmosphere made it hard for everyone to breathe.

Once the system made a sound, while everyone was startled, they quickly came closer, eyes filled with surprise, hearts were joyful, like grasping at a life-saving straw.

Jiang Cheng was the first to react, he quickly ran close to the system, followed by Mu Yu’s scream, also shocked. Even the calmest person was startled, surprised by that sound.

Jiang Cheng leaned his ear close to the system, seriously listening to what it had to say, gestured to everyone to stay still, giving him quiet space to think slowly, to listen slowly.

They all remained silent, dared not breathe heavily, happy but not too excited, the system kept sounding, "Iron block! Iron block! Iron block..." Jiang Cheng thought to himself, Iron block? I know it’s an iron block, but what’s it for?" Just then, the clouds suddenly parted, slowly turned bright, sunlight spread warmly over the earth, birds began to fly higher.

This was willpower, this was perseverance, this was the stepping stone to pursing dreams.

Jiang Cheng looked up at the sky, staring blankly, closed his eyes, fully enjoying the sunlight at this moment. Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, opened his eyes "I’ve got it, I know what it is."

Everyone excitedly embraced each other, jumping around, Mu Yu beside also clapped excitedly, smiling.

Jiang Cheng took out the iron block, Mu Yu puzzled, wondering what’s the use of the iron block? "Jiang Cheng, why did you pick up the iron block, what is it for?" Jiang Cheng said, "Don’t talk, watch me." Everyone quieted down, silently watching Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng took out the iron block, not sure what he was doing, he seemed to be searching for something? Nobody understood.

He mumbled to himself "Where’s the mechanism? I can’t find it? Finding the temple but not the monk?" Jiang Cheng kept pacing around the room, sometimes looking at the floor, sometimes running over to rummage things. Everyone watching felt anxious too.

Finally, someone couldn’t hold back, "Jiang Cheng, what are you looking for? Tell us, let’s help you find it." Jiang Cheng impatiently replied, "No need, I can do it myself."

That person got a bit angry, "Jiang Cheng, we’re a team, you’re struggling to find things by yourself while we’re standing here anxiously watching you, you’re better off telling us, united we’re stronger."

Jiang Cheng turned back, "Then help me find something very hidden, just let me know if you see anything unusual." Everyone got busy searching.

Searching around diligently, carefully checking even the smallest places, but still found no clues. Everyone let out a sigh again, deflated like a wilted flower, quickly dropped down.

Returned to that oppressive atmosphere, Jiang Cheng also sat down, unclear if exhausted, sat down to rest or already gave up.

Jiang Cheng was pondering "What exactly could it be? Iron block iron block, what’s its use?" He kept thinking, staring ahead, eyes focused. Suddenly, he thought since the iron block has use, it must mean it can attract iron like a magnet.

Oh right, I have a computer, maybe it can help. I know it! Haha.

The oppressive atmosphere woke up everyone again, they said, "What what, what did you figure out, tell us quickly." Jiang Cheng said, "Hey, no time to explain, I’ll explain later, who kept my computer? Give it to me.

Someone raised their hand, "Me me me, I kept it, it’s with me." Jiang Cheng reached out his hand, "Quick, give it to me." That person swiftly handed him the computer.

That person originally wanted to ask what he planned to do with the computer? Mu Yu nudged his hand, "Are you stupid? Didn’t Jiang Cheng say there’s no time to explain? Wait until he’s done, don’t interrupt him, don’t waste his time.

That person scratched their head, "Oh oh oh, alright, I understand." Jiang Cheng meticulously walked the computer across every corner of the room, leaving no trace unchecked.

Jiang Cheng scanned even the floor under the chairs, checking thoroughly, wanting to turn the room upside down for a complete checkup. The others watched, hands tight, breathing heavy, with high anticipation and eyes fixed firmly on Jiang Cheng.

However, all they could do was worry, the more they did, the more anxious Jiang Cheng became.

Finished searching, checked the entire room over ten times but still found nothing. The oppressive atmosphere reappeared, even heavier this time, since none of the methods worked, they almost all gave up.
