Chapter 512: Useful AJi

AJi blinked and said, “Ive been wandering alone.

If Im tired, I curl up in a corner of an underground shelter and sleep.

I dont need a home, and I dont need any belongings.

If anyone needs me to work for them, Ill work and get a few cans of earthworm meat to eat.

If no one looks for me, Ill work at the resource recovery centers.

Of course, Im not taking things from the dead and selling them.

Im just picking trash!”

Meng Chao smiled and shook his head while he mumbled, “Looks like Im still too merciful.

I should have crushed your hands before anything else.

In any case, I just need your mouth.

It doesnt matter to me whether you have hands or not.”

As he spoke, he stood up as if he was going to walk to AJi.

AJis face went stark pale.

He waved his hands in a panic and said, “U-Uncle, Im telling the truth.

Picking trash isnt shady business.

Wh-Why are you so angry”

Meng Chao was covered in dust and looked nothing like his usual self.

No one could tell how he was supposed to look like, nor what was his age.

To show respect, AJi naturally decided to refer to him as an elder.

“So that youd understand why you died.” Meng Chao smiled coldly.

“Before you started running your mouth off, your hands had already betrayed you.

Your hands dont belong to a waste recoverer!

“There are plenty of people who take up jobs to categorize waste and recover them in Dragon City, but Dragon Citys trash is different from that on Earth.

We have a lot of monster carcasses, substances derived from crystals that possess strong radioactivity, acidic substances, poisonous substances, viruses, and other dangerous things.

“Even if you wore a few layers of plastic gloves and completely airtight protective suits, itd have been impossible for the strong acid and poisonous substances to not seep into the gloves and damage your hands.

“Ive seen plenty of waste recoverers hands.

All of them were waxy yellow or black and had a lot of atrophic scars.

They also had calluses that looked like scales.

Many of their joints were swollen and large, and their fingers were deformed.

Their nails had fallen, and it was an unbearable sight.

“And these waste recoverers handled relatively safe and valuable trash.

“After they processed it, the unwanted stuff was sent to the lair to go through a second filtration.

I believe that after the waste recoverers in the lair filter through that trash, the leftovers are then finally sent to Leprosy Village.

“In other words, the waste recoverers in Leprosy Village should be facing trash that has been filtered countless times, have the least value, and is the most dangerous.

You would have to spend a lot of effort processing it, and you would be attacked by even more acid and poison before you could get anytreasure from the piles of trash.

“If youre in that field, why are your hands so nimble, graceful, and tender Why do they look like a newborns hands”

AJi was dumbfounded.

It seemed that he hadnt expected that Meng Chao would be able to decipher so much information from his hands.

“You dont have to wreck your brains to come up with a lie.

Let me guess your occupation,” Meng Chao said calmly.

“Even if you were outside and wanted to have such graceful and nimble hands, you would need to spend a lot of money to buy all sorts of gene medicine and secret ointments to take care of them meticulously.

“But you look thin and dirty.

You dont even have the money to treat the scabies on your head.

You dont seem like someone who will fork out a lot of money to nourish his hands.

“So, someone nourished your hands for you, yes

“You dont have stunning looks, but whoever it is was willing to spend a lot of money nourishing your hands.

Its clear that he doesnt have any strange kinks, but wants your hands to work for him.

“I can think of only three jobs that require hands that need to be protected and trained to such an extent.

First, assassins, second, harvesters, third thieves.

“But you dont just need to train your hands to be an assassin.

You need to train all your joints and muscles.

Youre weak, so its clear that you have never received any proper martial arts training.

“And its also impossible for you to be a harvester.

The reason is simple.

Freshness is very important when it comes to harvesting monsters.

There are plenty of harvesters in Dragon City, so no one will send a monster they killed in the wild or at the borders of the city into the depths of the lair, which is polluted, noisy, and filled with germs.

“So, the answer is simple.

Youre a thief— Dont be in such a hurry to deny it.

I had used a special method to tie that tactical bag to my leg.

Unless you were a professional, no matter how much strength you used, it would have been impossible for you to get it off me.

But you managed to do it in half a minute.

“Also, you were sure that I was a corpse, but your movements were still very light, as if you didnt want to wake me up.

Thats a habit of a pickpocket.

“‘Useless AJi Heh.

You were dishonest right from the beginning.

With such graceful and nimble hands, you should be a trump card in your den of thieves.

How could anyone call you Useless AJi Youre too useful!”

AJi took two steps back and nearly fell into the water again.

His face turned red, and he shouted, “Im not a thief! I-I was just trying to survive!”

“Im not interested in you being a thief at all.” Meng Chao stared at him and released the second Fear Bomb.

“If you really want to survive, then behave when you work with me.

Otherwise, even if I dont kill you, before long, you will die.

In fact, everyone in Leprosy Village and all of Golden Tooth Lair will die!”

AJis eyes went wide, filled with the fear of Leprosy Village being destroyed.

This time, he seemed to be really frightened and became much more honest.

He hunched his shoulders and mumbled honestly, “Alright.

Ill tell you.

I was brought up by Boss Feng.

Ive been working for him.”

“Boss Feng”

“Boss Feng is Three Fingers Feng.

Hes very famous in Golden Tooth Lair.

Apparently, he once boasted that there is nothing he cant get within the lair with just three fingers.

But we think that hes called Three Fingers Feng because he was once caught when stealing, so seven of his fingers were chopped off and only three are left.” AJi shrugged.

“In any case, after Boss Feng was left with only three fingers, he seldom steals on his own.

Instead, he brought a group of children up and taught us how to… recover resources and redistribute them.”

Meng Chao narrowed his eyes.

“So, youre saying that there are plenty of young thieves in the den of thieves.

I dont understand it.

Leprosy Village looks very poor.

How could there be so many targets to steal from”

“We dont steal from our own, so we dont steal from the villagers in Leprosy Village… I mean, we dont recover resources from them and redistribute them,” AJi said.

“There are plenty of rich people in the lair.

There are also plenty of rich guests who come from the city area to visit the monster coliseums.

“They get very excited by the monster fights, and their eyes become stuck on the arena.

When the fights end, theres a huge crowd as well, and its cramped.

Those are good chances to steal from them.

Its not hard to fill our pockets with money during those times.”

“Wait,” Meng Chao said.

“I thought that Leprosy Village villagers are isolated from the world and seldom go out.”

“Uncle, that was decades ago.” AJi sniffed.

“If youre more than three meters tall and look like a bear when you stand up or you have a tail thats even thicker than a crocodiles, youll definitely scare the kids and weeds outside when you go out!

“But people like me are smart and harmless.

We only have some mild defects.

If we wear thick sunglasses and masks, then lower the hoods of our cloaks to cover our faces, we look no different from the people outside.

Even if we sneak out, no one discovers us.

“But if were discovered, were still fine, because Boss Feng has already discussed and settled things on how were supposed to split the loot with the gangs in the lair.

“Anyway, Ive gone out dozens of times, and only once have I been discovered by a superhuman with sharp senses.

So the gang members who are in charge of guarding the place beat me up in front of that superhuman.

Once that person left, they threw me back in Leprosy Village.

Of course, it was unavoidable that I was beat up again by Boss Feng!”

Meng Chaos mind raced.

“So, youre saying that youre pretty familiar with the situation and forces of power in Leprosy Village and the entire lair”

AJi slapped his chest and said, “I cant say that Im pretty familiar, but I know a bit.

Uncle, what do you want to know Even if I dont know, Ill think of a way to get that information for you.”

“Im not in a hurry,” Meng Chao said.

“First, tell me.

Where is Boss Fengs den”

AJi pouted and pointed at a spot behind Meng Chao.

Meng Chao frowned a little.

The spot behind him was where the building collapsed.

Based on how the polluted water was flowing slower in the sewer with each passing moment, the building had to have collapsed entirely, and even the underground space was blocked.

The polluted water was going to be cut off soon.

But once he thought about it carefully, he did not find it strange.

If Boss Fengs den was not nearby, AJi would not be stealing from the dead in this area.

“Where is Boss Feng” he asked.

“Dead,” AJi answered frankly.

“He died with everyone else when the building collapsed.”

AJi told Meng Chao that Boss Fengs den was located on the second underground floor of the collapsed building.

Boss Feng and dozens of other young thieves lived there.

They had wanted for it to be easy to escape if any enemies or family members of their previous targets came looking for them, so they situated their den close to the surface.

But the major explosion caused by the super crystal bomb had created an unstoppable shockwave that instantly killed most of the villagers from the first to the third underground floors.

Boss Feng and the young thieves were all killed by either the explosion or the shockwaves.

As for AJi, since he did not steal enough to hit the quota yesterday and talked back to Boss Feng, he was punished and not allowed to sleep in the den.

He was asked to search for a few rich-looking targets in Leprosy Village and only allowed to return once he hit the quota.

But how could he possibly get any rich-looking targets in Leprosy Village It was just a punishment.

But unexpectedly, it allowed AJi to escape the disaster.

Meng Chao thought that with the power of the super crystal bomb, the possibility of those living in the second underground floor escaping was close to zero.

“Boss Feng and your companions died, so youre alone now, but youre not the slightest bit sad” Meng Chao looked into AJis eyes.

“Why should I be” AJi flung his graceful and nimble hands.

Suddenly, his fingers moved in different directions, and they wriggled bizarrely in the opposite orientation of the joints.

“Even though Boss Feng brought me up, you have no idea what sort of life I lived under him.

To make my fingers as nimble as earthworms, he crushed my palms and fingers three times.

Three times!” he hissed.

“Now that the bastard is dead, if I had money, Id definitely buy lots of good food to celebrate his death.

Why should I be sad What am I, out of my mind

“As for my friends… Compared to living in this stupid era and this stupid place, dying painlessly might be better.”

The boy who looked as pathetic as a rat in the drain had a self-deprecating look on his face.

He also looked lost, and there was envy on his face.
