[Location: Dragon Lake Villa (Ruins).] [Time: 03:30 AM.]
The smell of burnt ozone and monster slime filled the air. Shen Ruobing stood in her pajamas, holding a calculator. Her fingers moved like lightning. "Wall repair: 200k. Lawn replacement: 50k. Trauma therapy for neighbors: 100k..." She looked up at Chen Qing with dead eyes. "You owe me 350,000 dollars."
Chen Qing was busy looting the bodies of the Shadow Guards. "Put it on my tab," he said, pulling a black encrypted phone from a dead assassin's pocket.
[System Hack: Initiated.] [Decoding...] [Success.] [Target Location Found: Black Dragon Tower, CBD District.]
"Found them," Chen Qing smirked, crushing the phone. "The rat's nest."
"Are we going on a field trip?" Sun Mengjia popped out from behind a bush. She was wearing a tactical vest over her pajamas and holding a... Rocket Launcher? "I found this in the garden! Can I keep it?"
"Where did you find an RPG in my garden?!" Shen Ruobing rubbed her temples.
"Amazon Prime," Mengjia winked.
Chen Qing stood up and looked at the distant skyline of Star City. The tallest building, the Black Dragon Tower, pierced the clouds like a dark needle. "Ruobing, I need a car."
"Another one?" Shen Ruobing sighed. "Fine. But this time, I'm driving."
...
[Location: Outside Black Dragon Tower.] [Time: 04:15 AM.]
The streets were empty. The towering skyscraper looked silent and imposing. To normal people, it was just a corporate building. But to Chen Qing's [Dragon Eyes], it was a fortress wrapped in a dark, evil aura.
[System Analysis:] [Dungeon Detected: The Dragon's Nest.] [Difficulty: S-Rank (Hell Mode).] [Boss: The Black Dragon King.]
"So, what's the plan?" Shen Ruobing parked her new Ferrari (yes, she had spares) across the street. "Stealth? Infiltration?"
"Stealth is boring," Sun Mengjia loaded a rocket into her launcher.
"We knock," Chen Qing said.
He walked to the front door. Two security guards (actually D-Rank Cultivators) stepped forward. "Halt! Private property!"
"Woof!" General Fluffles trotted past them. He lifted his leg and peed on the pristine glass doors. Pssssh.
"Hey! Stupid dog!" The guard raised his baton.
Slice. Before he could swing, his baton was cut in half. Chen Qing sheathed his sword. "My dog says your building is ugly."
"Enemy attack!" The alarm blared. Red lights flashed. Heavy metal shutters slammed down over the windows. Hundreds of armed guards poured out of the lobby.
"Mengjia," Chen Qing pointed at the reinforced steel shutters. "Open the door."
"Knock knock!" Sun Mengjia pulled the trigger.
WHOOSH—BOOM!
The rocket hit the main entrance. Fire and shrapnel flew everywhere. The "indestructible" steel shutters were blown open like a tin can.
Through the smoke, Chen Qing walked in. His aura exploded. [Dragon Slayer Mode: ON.]
"I am Chen Qing," his voice was calm but echoed through the entire 80-story building. "Tell the Black Dragon King to wash his neck. I'm coming up."
[System Mission:] [Climb the Tower.] [Floors Remaining: 80.] [Enemies Remaining: 5,000.]
"Let the party begin," Chen Qing smiled.
