Steam Era: The Lord of 'Puluo' Chapter 1292 611: Prosperity for Those Who Follow Me

Li Banfeng sat in the office, listening to Luo Zhengnan recount his experiences at De Song Cliff.

The situation at De Song Cliff was very peculiar. The battle for the Local Deity had turned into a local war, according to Luo Zhengnan's observation. Several gangs from Puluo State were involved in the fight, including people from the Three Heroes Gang and the White Crane Gang.

Li Banfeng found it hard to understand: "What are they doing at De Song Cliff? What are Shen Jinzhong and Bai Wuchuan thinking? Can they still end up with a piece of the territory from Virtue Cultivation?"

"Seventh Master, you can't blame the two gang leaders. I asked some friends, and it turns out that some hall masters from the Three Heroes Gang and the White Crane Gang have connections with Song Demei, the village chief of De Yuan Village. Song Demei reached out, and these hall masters came with their people."

"The hall masters took people without consulting with the gang leaders?"

"Seventh Master, these two gangs are too big. The gang leader can't oversee everything. Besides, even if they consulted with the gang leader, it would be hard for the leader to stop them. In the Jianghu, everything relies on various relationships. If they're not allowed to go, these two gangs won't fare well at De Song Cliff in the future!"

"Did the Qingyun Society's people go?"

Luo Zhengnan had someone investigate: "The Qingyun Society's people didn't go. They are currently under He Jiaqing's command. He Jiaqing might not be very familiar with the gang operations, but he issued an order: anyone daring to meddle in De Song Cliff's affairs will face punishment according to gang rules, without leniency."

He Jiaqing isn't ignorant of gang rules; he's aware something is amiss.

"Has the fighting at De Song Cliff been fierce these past two days?"

"After Doctor Cui went, the fighting has lessened, but it's hard to say how long this will last."

What was Cui Tiq's purpose in going to De Song Cliff? What benefits did the Peddler promise him?

While Li Banfeng was pondering, Dumpling suddenly entered the office: "Seventh Master, Light Bulb has found Gourd Village."

"He didn't go in, did he?" Li Banfeng didn't take it too seriously. Finding Gourd Village wasn't a big deal. Light Bulb had no obstacles he couldn't overcome. Even if he went in, he would be out in at most half a month.

"He didn't go in. He used the Invisibility Space Tracker to lock onto Gourd Village!"

Invisibility Space Tracker?

Does the Dark Star Bureau have such a valuable item?

Li Banfeng hadn't realized these valuable items at all.

Little Shen, how about staying in Gourd Village for a few more days?

Since the Dark Star Bureau has an Invisibility Space Tracker, why wasn't it used sooner? With this, they should have found Gourd Village long ago!

If Light Bulb truly locked onto Gourd Village, the situation would escalate. If the Dark Star Bureau lined up and entered Gourd Village, it wouldn't be as simple as staying in there for half a month. Ah Yi might lock them up for a lifetime.

Being locked up for a lifetime is a serious matter. Are the affairs of the Dark Star Bureau that important?

Li Banfeng rushed to the scene and found Guan Zhengyang's car had arrived first. Li Banfeng sensed things were taking a turn for the worse.

Guan Zhengyang brought over a hundred people, dressed in camouflage and wearing protective masks, making battle preparations.

Li Banfeng asked Dumpling: "Who are these people?"

Dumpling whispered: "This is the Dark Star Special Action Team, a special agency personally overseen by Director Guan. Their weaponry and combat capabilities are very strong."

Back when the Dark Energy Research Lab was under Guan Zhengyang's supervision, the lab was dissolved, and now there's a Special Action Team. He's quite good at stirring things up.

Light Bulb stood in front of a motorhome, and upon seeing Li Banfeng, he quickly came over to report. Ming Xing followed along, occasionally chiming in.

"Bureau Chief Li, while patrolling, I found something peculiar at No. 21 Wenyu Road, this salon had some anomalies. As I was operating No. 6 Tracker in the presence of these anomalies, I immediately activated the device and locked onto the entrance of Gourd Village..."

Ming Xing added on the side: "No. 6 Tracker is the bureau's most advanced sixth-generation invisible space equipment, and today it was our task to escort it."

Light Bulb gave Ming Xing a glare, took out a notebook, and handed it to Li Banfeng: "I recorded the time, location, and details of the incident. Please have a look."

Ming Xing continued: "At the first moment of the incident, we immediately evacuated the surrounding residents and sealed off Wenyu Road."

Light Bulb, unable to hold back, looked at Ming Xing and said: "What do you mean by this?"

Ming Xing was taken aback: "I'm just stating the situation."

"Can you stop blending facts? Isn't using such underhanded tricks disgusting?"

Ming Xing shrugged: "I don't know what you mean."

"I found the entrance to Gourd Village by myself. You weren't even in the vehicle at that time, why are you trying to take credit from me?"

Ming Xing fell silent, and the team secretly laughed.

Whenever there's credit to be gained, one must try to grab a piece. By confusing the key information, the leader might not know whose credit it is. With some maneuvering, Ming Xing could at least secure a participant's role, or if lucky, a main participant's role. This is Ming Xing's usual trick, known by all in the Public Security Team.

Li Banfeng glanced at Light Bulb's notes. In fact, Light Bulb's credit was also a stroke of luck. This so-called Invisibility Space Tracker cannot actively track hidden spaces. Its working principle is that upon discovering a hidden space, it can lock onto the space's entrance and establish a passage into the space.

Gourd Village is elusive, and discovering its entrance is a chance event. After discovering the entrance, by the time the tracker is brought in, the entrance has already disappeared, and the tracker can't find Gourd Village's location.

When Gourd Village was discovered, the tracker happened to be nearby, allowing it to fulfill its function, but the odds of this are extremely low.

Yet even with such low odds, Light Bulb managed to hit the jackpot.
