Chapter 68: The Inevitable Choice

Chapter 68: Chapter 68: The Inevitable Choice"Ugh... this really is a big problem for me..." The three scavengers, clearly having misunderstood, left, leaving Feng Xue with the pressure. Although it was just a simple case of mistaken identity, for Feng Xue, there were two pieces of information in their message that he couldn’t ignore.

The first, the so-called competition for the Manager which he had always thought he was a part of, turned out to be only for the brief period before the high wall went up. Although he didn’t know how long that would be, judging by the looks of the three, it probably wouldn’t be very long.

If this message merely dampened Feng Xue’s interest in competing for the position of Manager, then the second piece of information hit him like thunder—

The appointment of the Manager in the landfill area was actually related to the inhabitant area!

He had always thought that the Manager was just the strongest person in the local landfill area, but now it seemed that he might have to add "approved by the inhabitant area" as a prefix.

But then again, it made sense. The Managers monopolized the passage to the inhabitant area, so how could they dare to do so if they hadn’t reached an understanding with the residents?

Now that he thought about it, weren’t most of the resources that those Managers harvested on trash days probably going to the residents’ area?

This might not seem like a big difference, but upon reflection, it was quite a big problem—that Manager from the Cross Sword Union had met Feng Xue face to face. Would he report Feng Xue’s information up the chain?

With this thought, Feng Xue felt a cold sweat break out and was extremely grateful that he had come to this destroyed landfill area first, instead of barging into just any landfill area as he had before.

"Wait, that guy Lao Li is so sensitive about the

After some quick thinking, Feng Xue divided the crises he might face into three different stages—

The first stage was "can’t beat," which was actually the simplest scenario, like if he ended up facing an enemy he couldn’t deal with after crossing over, say, ending up in a war zone and being targeted by a tank cannon or something equally unlucky. In such cases, all he needed to do was improve his escape abilities, and he wouldn’t have to worry too much.

The second level of danger was "can’t run"—corresponding to situations where even escape was impossible, like being trapped by a Water Prison Technique at the start, or directly crossing into a prison cell. In these cases, apart from considering how to save his life, he also had to think about damage control. Whether it was disassembling the Holy Mother, using the Feminization Filter, or the Storage Bag, all were vital parts of his combat power. If they were captured by the enemy, even if he could escape, the final loss would be significant. So, in situations where he couldn’t run, he had to prevent his items from being seized by the enemy.

As for the highest level of crisis, it was "can’t live," which was undeniably the most dangerous situation—like getting hit by a big explosion the moment he opened the door, with no chance of survival. If he encountered this kind of problem, he had to consider how to resurrect...

Well, luckily, he did have a resurrection tool on hand, even if using it was a bit tricky...
