Chapter 38

After practicing with the gun, Sloan brought Bai Xiaofei into a very spacious room.

Behind the gossamer-like threads, there was a loom, the only one in the entire room.

This loom was different from others; it was completely unmanned and fully automated, equipped with professional tungsten filament lighting, and above the finished fabric, there was a set of professional magnifying devices.

Sloan's voice echoed in the spacious room: "This is our sanctuary, we call it the Loom of Destiny!"

The two approached the loom illuminated by the lights. Sloan, like a preacher, had a sacred and noble light in his eyes: "After today, you will never be able to enter here again, for you are like one of Jesus' disciples. Your task is not to interpret, but to convey..."

He began to explain the origin of the loom, as well as the history, glory, creed, and mission of the Mutual Aid Society. In short, he was brainwashing Bai Xiaofei.

If it were anyone else, they might have been deceived by Sloan's superb acting, but Bai Xiaofei sneered at it.

"Go fool someone else, I don't believe your nonsense. If it weren't for saving Firefox, I would have taken you and this damned Mutual Aid Society down long ago!"

Bai Xiaofei was inwardly complaining when he suddenly felt a mental nudge. The long-silent shuttle device was actually contacting him.

"Host, please pay attention, a special mission is now temporarily issued!"

"Huh? A special mission? What's going on?"

Bai Xiaofei was a bit confused. Could a beginner's mission be like this? As he thought, he opened the mission menu with his mind:

"Special Mission: Obtain the operational core of the Loom of Destiny!"

"Mission Success: Shuttle device upgrade! Ability enhancement! New functions unlocked! Reward: One self-chosen item from the Time and Space Grand Lottery!"

"Mission Failure: All beginner mission rewards will be deducted!"

"Damn! So harsh!"

After reading the penalty for mission failure, Bai Xiaofei immediately became agitated. Wasn't this bullying a newbie? He grumbled, "Shuttle device, can I refuse this special mission?"

Shuttle device: "Special missions are mandatory!"

Bai Xiaofei broke out in a cold sweat. Being a hard-pressed employee was really tough. He then grumbled, "At least give me some hints? What exactly is the operational core of the Loom of Destiny?"

Shuttle device: "The Loom of Destiny can foresee and weave the names of certain great evildoers in the future because one of its components contains fragments of the [Stone of Destiny]. Although these particles are tiny, they contain extremely powerful laws of nature, which are very helpful to the shuttle device! The host only needs to find the component containing the [Stone of Destiny]!"

"Alright!"

Bai Xiaofei sighed. Since he couldn't refuse, he had to complete the mission, even if it meant crying.

However, upon closer thought, this special mission didn't seem so difficult. The reward for success was also quite impressive. Upgrades aside, the self-chosen item from the Time and Space Grand Lottery was a big deal. If one of the thirty-six items was something amazing, he could choose the reward himself, which would make him invincible in the future.

Bai Xiaofei daydreamed for a while, then asked a crucial question: "Shuttle device, how do I identify if the component I get is the mission item?"

Shuttle device: "When the host obtains the mission item, the shuttle device will notify the host that the mission is complete!"

"Got it!"

Bai Xiaofei stroked his chin, his eyes darting around the Loom of Destiny, thinking about which component could be the operational core. First, the spools and such were definitely not it. The remaining components of the main unit, such as gears, screws, and diamond shuttles, could all be the operational core. Did he have to disassemble the entire loom and test each component one by one?

Wait!

Disassemble the entire loom?

Suddenly, Bai Xiaofei had an idea and asked excitedly, "Shuttle device, if I take the entire loom, will that count as completing the mission?"

The shuttle device paused for a moment, then coldly replied, "Yes!"

Bai Xiaofei was thrilled.

At this moment, the big boss, Sloan, had just finished "brainwashing" him. He handed a piece of cut fabric and a paper filled with information to Bai Xiaofei and said, "This is your mission target—Dean!"

Bai Xiaofei was stunned. "Dean? Who is he?"

Sloan, like a preacher, said, "This is your first mission. The loom provides the task, I interpret it, and you execute it!"

Bai Xiaofei looked at the information in his hand and said meaningfully, "You want me to kill Robert Dean Darden?"

Sloan's eyes narrowed, and he looked deeply at Bai Xiaofei before saying, "No! The one who ordered you to kill him is not me, but the God of Destiny. You are now the weapon of destiny!"

With that, Sloan left the room.

Seeing no one around, Bai Xiaofei really wanted to put the Loom of Destiny into his dimensional space to complete the shuttle device's special mission.

But he knew it wasn't the right time yet.

...

In the evening.

Firefox had arranged to meet Bai Xiaofei on the city wall.

As he headed to the meeting, Bai Xiaofei wondered, "Why did Firefox suddenly invite me? Could it be to fulfill the previous promise and give me the kiss as a reward for the bet?"

Thinking of Firefox's sexy lips, Bai Xiaofei got excited, his heart pounding wildly, and his steps quickened.

The base of the Mutual Aid Society, the 17th Loom Factory, resembled a small medieval castle, with high walls surrounding the entire base. Walking along the wall, it felt like being transported back to the Middle Ages.

A few minutes later, Bai Xiaofei arrived at the small wall outside the loom factory.

He immediately spotted Firefox's sexy figure.

Firefox was sitting quietly on the wall, her left hand resting on the parapet, her right foot elegantly crossed over her left, gazing peacefully at the beautiful sunset in the distance.

Firefox was wearing a black tight jacket and black tight pants, which accentuated her fiery figure. Her full, firm chest pushed the tight jacket up high, and her silky hair was slightly curled, flowing smoothly over her shoulders, exuding a seductive allure.

"Xiaofei, come over quickly!"

Noticing Bai Xiaofei's arrival, Firefox, who had been silently watching the sunset, turned and smiled at him. In the afterglow of the sunset, her beautiful face seemed to be bathed in a sacred light, her pure eyes and alluring gaze blending into an incomparable charm, radiating a soul-piercing allure.

Bai Xiaofei was instantly captivated.

He didn't even realize how he had reached Firefox's side and climbed onto the parapet. His mind was filled with the beautiful image of Firefox's smile, as if he had been hypnotized.

Firefox said brightly, "Xiaofei, let's play a game. If you win, I'll fulfill the bet. If you lose, you get nothing!"

Bai Xiaofei was stunned. "What kind of game?"

Seeing Bai Xiaofei's dazed expression, Firefox smiled slyly, glancing at the high-speed train passing below the parapet, then suddenly reached out and pushed Bai Xiaofei off the wall before jumping down herself.

When Firefox pushed Bai Xiaofei, he had already regained his senses and realized what was about to happen.

In mid-air, Bai Xiaofei used his telekinetic power to quickly adjust his posture, so he didn't land clumsily on the train's roof like Wesley in the movie, almost falling off. Instead, he landed gracefully with a smooth knee bend.

Bang!

A loud thud, and Firefox also landed.

Bai Xiaofei turned to look at Firefox, who was smiling, and pretended to be angry, "Lady, is this really a good idea? One wrong move, and someone could die!"
