Subsequently.
Through Zhang Chao's introduction, Zhang Wei learned that his friend was a former member of the Wei Dao Division from another city.
"Former?"
Zhang Wei caught the key word in Zhang Chao's words.
Zhang Chao nodded in response:
"Yes, he retired not long ago."
As if sensing what Zhang Wei was thinking, Zhang Chao continued:
"My friend isn't old, only 29. The reason for his retirement was that he was attacked by a ghost while exorcising it, losing a leg. Originally, he insisted on continuing to exorcise ghosts in the Wei Dao Division."
"But considering he has a wife and daughter, and lost a leg, coupled with chronic ailments left from his past ghost exorcism, the Wei Dao Division forcibly retired him to the rear. He's now responsible for logistics, essentially an early retirement."
Zhang Wei nodded upon hearing this.
Following that.
Zhang Chao said with a smile, "It's because he retired early that he has nothing to do and is raising cats."
Zhang Wei agreed noncommittally.
As a ghost exorcist, he was well aware of how dangerous this profession was. It involved battling ferocious ghosts, where a single misstep could lead to death.
Precisely because of this.
Most ghost exorcists did not keep cats or dogs. They worried that if something happened to them, who would take care of their pets? After all, their wives and daughters might receive subsidies from the Wei Dao Division, but pets were another matter. Finding new owners wasn't that easy.
After chatting for a while longer.
Zhang Wei and his companions returned to the hotel.
After giving breakfast to Lu Lianxue, Zhang Wei mentioned Zhang Chao's matter to her.
Immediately.
Lu Lianxue's beautiful eyes lit up:
"See cats? Great!"
Girls all liked cute little animals, and Lu Lianxue was no exception.
Zhang Wei smiled:
"Then let's go now. Zhang Chao just called his friend Luo Fang, and he said he'll be waiting at home for us to pick up the cat."
Then Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue went down to the hotel lobby.
After greeting Zhang Chao, Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue were about to leave the hotel to take a taxi.
"Zhang Wei, pick out a fierce cat for me, preferably one so fierce it can help me catch up with a maid girl in one go."
"No problem."
Zhang Wei gave Zhang Chao an okay gesture.
...
On the way.
Zhang Wei and Lu Lianxue were sitting in the car. He asked:
"By the way, Xiao Xue, how many days are you planning to stay?"
520 had already passed. Although it was now 521, which was also a good day, Lu Lianxue still had her studies. Not everyone could balance ghost exorcism and academics like Zhang Wei.
Lu Lianxue blinked her beautiful eyes and smiled:
"I'll go back with you. I can review my subjects during these days anyway, so I'm not afraid of failing."
Zhang Wei ruffled Lu Lianxue's hair:
"Alright, then..."
Before he could finish speaking.
Ding dong.
A WeChat message notification sounded.
Opening his phone, he saw a message from Fatty.
[Fatty]: Zhang Wei, why haven't you been online these past two days? I've dropped from Diamond 2, damn it. Hurry up and carry me, qaQ. Help me get to Diamond 1, and I'll give you Bao'er Jie's new figurine.
Along with the message.
Fatty also sent a picture of a Bao'er Jie figurine. It showed Bao'er Jie in a swimsuit, holding a shovel, looking like she was about to bury someone on the beach.

Along with the system notification.
At the same moment.
In an esports hotel room in Luxia City.
Fatty was sitting in front of his computer, looking at a post on the Wei Dao Division forum. It was about Zhang Wei's heroic battle with the Ghost King yesterday and his rescue of Jinguang City Airport.
Fatty had just found out Zhang Wei had left Luxia City while browsing the forum out of boredom.
He was called to kill Zhang Wei, and now Zhang Wei had left the province without him even knowing, all while he was busy playing games with Zhang Wei, discussing buying figurines, and chatting about anime...
Thinking of this.
Fatty felt a pang of guilt.
If Tailor found out about this, he would definitely be killed by Tailor.
"While I wasn't paying attention, he actually killed three Ghost Kings and got three Ghost King heads. What a loss, what a loss!!!"
Fatty looked at a post where someone mentioned that Zhang Wei and his ghosts had obtained three Ghost King heads. Fatty was furious that Zhang Wei was secretly accumulating "private money."
"I thought I was taking advantage of Zhang Wei, and it felt good. But it turns out Zhang Wei took it to the next level. Damn it, I want those three Ghost King heads so badly."
Thinking this.
Fatty immediately called Zhang Wei. Whether it was for Tailor or for the Ghost King heads, he had to ask Zhang Wei when he would return.
If Zhang Wei was going to be back in a few days, he had to rush over, or he might miss out on another Ghost King head.
"I've been out for some business recently, that's why I haven't been online. Fatty, if you want to play together, I'll join you later to help you rank up."
Listening to Fatty's mournful voice, Zhang Wei replied with a smile.
Fatty shook his head:
"No need then. I can't affect your business. By the way, when are you coming back?"
[Ding! Unknown Ghost King's Heart Cries, Come back quickly, Zhang Wei!]
[Host has gained System Points +130]
As the system notification sounded.
Zhang Wei said:
"I'll be back in a couple of days."
"Are you sure in a couple of days? My rank depends on you! Don't lie to me, or I won't let you go even if I become a ghost!" Fatty replied.
"Of course. Even if not for your rank, then for my free Bao'er Jie figurine. I have to go back quickly. However, I already have that Bao'er Jie figurine, it's in my dorm."
"Haha, okay, I'll get a different one. Then hurry back, I'm waiting for you to help me rank up."
After chatting with Zhang Wei for a while, Fatty hung up the phone.
He then browsed the Wei Dao Division forum again, hoping to find some information about the transportation of Wei Dao Division's Ghost King heads. He considered whether he should go to Sichuan Province to intercept the Ghost King heads.
A moment later.
Looking at the posts on the Wei Dao Division forum, Fatty's expression became increasingly colorful:
"My God, Zhang Wei, this guy has done so much behind my back? Killing Ghost Kings is one thing, but he even helped his friends get onto the New Star Ranking. Spiritual Car Exorcism Technique? Firepower Suppression Exorcism Method? What are these?"
He discovered.
There were quite a few posts about Zhang Wei on the forum. These posts were not primarily about Zhang Wei, but rather introduced some powerful ghost exorcists who had recently emerged. Their exorcism techniques were unheard of but had achieved powerful effects.
And among them, Zhang Wei was mentioned. The reason was simple: these exorcism techniques were reportedly inspired or learned from Zhang Wei by these ghost exorcists.
Looking at the many ghost exorcists praising Zhang Wei in the posts.
Fatty couldn't help but smile:
"As expected of the person I want to kill. He's silent, but when he makes a move, he's astonishing. Very stylish, I like it."
"No, now is not the time to think about these things..."
He busily searched for information related to Zhang Wei's Ghost King heads.
Not long after.
He muttered:
"I can't get the Ghost King heads that Zhang Wei and Willow Tree Ghost obtained before. I guess they've all gone to the Wei Dao Division headquarters."
"However, the one from the airport probably hasn't been sent yet. I can intercept it halfway. Speaking of which, Tailor told me something about that Ghost King. If I bring this Ghost King head to Tailor, hehe, it seems like it would be fun."
Saying this.
Fatty couldn't wait any longer and was about to set off to intercept the Ghost King head.
But as he stood up.
Ring ring.
The phone rang. The caller ID showed Tailor's number.
Seeing this.
Fatty's heart skipped a beat.
"Oh no, why is Tailor calling all of a sudden? Could it be that Tailor also saw the news and knows Zhang Wei has left Luxia City..."
