After a night at the small hotel, Lin Huang’s communication device vibrated all of a sudden before dawn came .

He tapped it opened and realized that it was an unknown number .
“Your stuff should arrive at the Start Shelter in the afternoon today . If you guys aren’t there yet, please get there as soon as you can to pick them up . There are plenty of flaws in the God Territory’s logistics system . It’s very common for some Shelters to lose parcels . The longer the parcels are left at the receiving point, the higher the chances of them being lost . ”
Lin Huang knew it was Yang Ling who sent the message without even looking at the signature .
“We arrived yesterday . ” Lin Huang turned off the communication page after the brief reply . He peeked at the time . It was only 4 . 51 a . m . Through the window, he could see that the sky was still dark, so he turned around on the bed and pulled the blanket over himself, shutting his eyes again .
He slept all the way past seven in the morning, only stirring calmly upon hearing the chatter between Bloody and Kylie .
Lin Huang walked to the living room to see both Bloody and Kylie there . He said through voice transmission, “Yang Ling said the stuff will arrive around the afternoon . We’ll have breakfast soon and walk around . In the afternoon, we’ll head there straight to pick up the stuff . ”
After washing up, the three of them put on their black robes again and headed out .
Lin Huang was already disguised as a man in a black robe . Meanwhile, as Bloody and Kylie looked exactly like Protosses, they would definitely attract unwanted attraction if they were to check into such a small hotel in their own forms . Therefore, they put on a cloak and a mask just like Lin Huang did when they checked into the hotel . Both their cloaks and masks were god relics . However, the small hotel was located in the central zone of Start Shelter which was close to the guardian residence . Not many True Gods would step on Start’s feet and pry with their Divine Telekinesis as they wished .

Moreover, most people who would stay at such a small hotel were usually problematic . They were either fugitives or were hiding something embarrassing . They knew where they stood, so they would not pry to avoid any unnecessary incidents .
It was only 8 a . m . after spending some 20 minutes eating their breakfast .
The auctions and markets at the Shelter had yet to open . However, the underground market was already opened for business .
The Start Shelter black market was in an alley somewhere next to the guardian residence . In reality, the guardian, Start, was the mastermind behind the black market . Most of the people in the Shelter knew that, but nobody dared say it out loud .
Start had a Heavenly God supporting him, and as a Protoss himself, nobody dared to report his business . Everyone knew that the most that would happen to the black market would be it closing down even if someone were to report it . With Start’s background, it was basically impossible for him to be punished .
The three of them took a stroll at the black market . They spent over two hours to look at all the shops and stalls . Since they did not see anything they wanted, they left the black market alley empty-handed .
After getting out of the black market, they casually strolled through the auctions and markets that had been opened for a while .
It was past 1 p . m . when they were done shopping . Figuring that he had yet to receive any notification about their parcel, Lin Huang took Bloody and Kylie to a restaurant with a good reputation for lunch .

As they began eating after the dishes were served, Lin Huang’s communication device vibrated all of a sudden . Again, the message still came from an unknown number . Lin Huang knew it was Yang Ling who sent it as soon as he tapped it open .
The message was brief with only two sentences . “The logistics system on my side shows that the stuff has arrived at Start Shelter . If you’re not busy, it’s best that you pick them up today . I took some time to check the God Territory’s receiving point, and I found out that the Shelter always loses parcels . ”
Naturally, Bloody and Kylie saw the contents of the message since Lin Huang’s communication device messages were set to pop up .
“Let’s go there right after we finish lunch,” Bloody said instantly as she was concerned that the stuff might get lost .
Lin Huang nodded and turned off the communication page . He then proceeded with lunch . It was not even 2 p . m . when they exited the restaurant and headed straight to the receiving point immediately .
The receiving point was on a main road . The shop was pretty large, and there were two lines queuing at the entrance . The longer line was for the delivery of mail with some 20 people there . The pick-up line was shorter as there were only six people queuing .
Lin Huang and the other two queued quietly behind the pick-up line and waited for the people before them to collect their stuff patiently .
The first of the six picked up their stuff and left successfully . When it was the second person’s turn, he began arguing with the shop owner .

“My stuff should’ve arrived last night! The pick-up details on my communication device clearly state that my stuff arrived at 11 . 21 last night . Now, you’re telling me that you didn’t receive them?!” It was a muscular elephant-person who was yelling loudly .
“Why are you screaming?! I told you that we didn’t receive it . Isn’t it normal to lose parcels? You’re not the only one whose parcel is lost,” responded the shop owner who was a skinny and short human-faced monkey around 1 . 4 meters tall . Although he was almost a meter shorter than the elephant-person, the latter was nothing to him .
“You guys are doing logistics as your business . Does it make sense for you guys to lose stuff?!” The elephant-person was enraged to hear such a nonchalant answer .
“You should ask around and see which receiving point in the God Territory never loses their parcels . ” The human-faced monkey did not intend to apologize at all . “I can only say that you have shoddy luck to lose your parcel . There’s no one to blame . Stop blocking my way and interrupting my business . ”
“I won’t leave if you don’t give me my stuff! I’ll block your entrance and paralyze your business!” The elephant-person began throwing a tantrum .
“Are you sure you want to block my way?!” A cold gleam flashed through the human-faced monkey’s eyes . Almost at the same time, a terrifying aura came out of his body for merely a second .
Even the pupils of Lin Huang and the other two who were queuing at the back shrank . The human-faced monkey’s aura was clearly at peak virtual god-level . They could tell by the intensity of his aura that he was but a step away from stepping to true god-level .
The elephant-person who was supposed to collect his parcel peed in his pants then and there . He only had imperial-level combat strength and had never come in such close contact with a Virtual God before .
Fortunately, the aura was fleeting . If it really suppressed him, losing control of his bladder might not be the only thing that would happen; his soul might collapse shortly .
“Get lost!” The human-faced monkey scoffed . In turn, the elephant-person turned around and ran away while shuddering . He dared not stay even for a moment .
The expression of the people queueing at the back became complicated when they looked at the human-faced monkey again .
“Next!” The human-faced monkey pretended like nothing happened as he called out to the next person .
The pick-up queue was moving fast . It was Lin Huang and the rest’s turn within three minutes . Not one of the next five people after the elephant-person lost their parcels, much to their relief .
“Pick-up code: 0618,” Lin Huang stated his pick-up code directly .
The human-faced monkey lifted his head to peer at Lin Huang and subsequently glanced at Bloody and Kylie who were wearing masks and cloaks . He spoke a moment after lowering his head, “I can’t find your pick-up code here . ”
