Having obtained those two items, Fu Qingyang had expected it. As long as Yuan Shi came out of the dungeon alive, he would at least be able to obtain one lost item.
Perhaps it was the Yin-Yang Disc of the Jianghuai Branch, or perhaps a component of Xie's rule-based item.
This premonition had no basis and no reason; it was purely trust. I don't care what he should do, but I know he can do it. This is the trust between strong individuals.
However, when he heard Yuan Shi Tianzun say with his own ears that both items had been obtained, Fu Qingyang was still stunned and remained silent for a moment.
Being allocated one piece of loot and taking all the loot into one's possession are two completely different things.
The former can be achieved through bargaining and compromise, while the latter requires suppressing teammates and making them submit willingly.
After several seconds of silence, Fu Qingyang's tone regained its coldness, and he said:
"Very good!"
"Come to the study immediately."
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qingyang saw a dreamlike starlight appear on the red carpet in the study, spiraling upwards and solidifying into a young man wearing a black, form-fitting short sleeve. It was Yuan Shi Tianzun.
Fu Qingyang raised his eyebrows slightly, "It seems your experience points have increased a lot."
He had dealt with Star Officers quite a bit. Low-level Star Officers could only mechanically perform teleportation techniques and could not autonomously choose the distance and location of the teleportation.
At this time, Yuan Shi had obviously passed the initial Star Officer stage, and his experience points must have reached over 50%.
"Next time I enter a dungeon, I'll be able to reach level five," Zhang Yuanqing said.
After speaking, he eagerly hoped to see shock, envy, and other emotions on Qian Gongzi's face, but there were none. Qian Gongzi's face was as handsome as if carved by a knife, a picture of aloofness.
He's probably incredibly envious inside, but he's putting on a strong front. Hmph, the boss is really good at pretending. Can't he just let me enjoy it for a bit?
Crap, I forgot he's a scout. Zhang Yuanqing thought, feeling a chill in his heart.
Fu Qingyang supported his elbows on the table, interlaced his fingers, and coldly stared at his trusted henchman:
Yuan Shi, this kid, hasn't been educated for a while, and his thoughts are getting bolder and bolder.
The atmosphere solidified for a moment, and Zhang Yuanqing sighed:
"I have been trying my best to catch up with the boss's pace, hoping that one day I can fight alongside you, but you are like a high mountain, making me only able to look up to you and unable to approach."
Fu Qingyang kept silent and dismissed the idea of educating him, bringing the topic back on track:
"Give them to me."
Zhang Yuanqing did not hesitate at all. He grabbed the Yin-Yang Disc with his left hand and took out the Saint Infant's head with his right, placing the two items on the table.
Fu Qingyang first picked up the Yin-Yang Disc, carefully examined its attributes, and couldn't help but glance at Zhang Yuanqing.
"I've heard about this item from the Jianghuai Branch for a long time, also known as the 'Rogue Disc'. Heh, it lives up to your reputation," Fu Qingyang mocked.
Suddenly, Zhang Yuanqing regretted handing over this item, worrying about his reputation.
Yuan Shi Tianzun is the dream lover of countless girls in the officialdom and an object of admiration for countless male colleagues. He can't let a broken item ruin him.
Some rumors may not be believed when spoken by people, but the attributes of an item do not lie.
Fu Qingyang put down the Yin-Yang Disc and instead placed his palm on the infant's head.
After reading the item information, he looked over again and said, "A very interesting item."
"Yuan Shi, do you think we should return the items to the Jianghuai Branch and the Xie family?"
Zhang Yuanqing nodded, "Naturally."
If the Battle of Yashan was a solo dungeon, he would definitely not choose to hand it over.
Fu Qingyang maintained his finger-interlaced posture, "But I think the reward should be changed. For example, the B-level merit points provided by the Huaihai Branch can be exchanged for something else."
As expected, after this punishment, the boss also realized that too many merit points are not a good thing for me. It's better to exchange them for more direct benefits. Zhang Yuanqing breathed a sigh of relief.
He was just thinking about how to persuade Fu Qingyang to support him, after all, Qian Gongzi's political awareness is very high.
And without the support of Fu Qingyang, who is an elder, it would be difficult for him to bargain with the Huaihai Branch, or even the headquarters.
Fortunately, Fu Qingyang never disappointed him.
"Let's put this matter aside for now. There's a sudden incident I need to inform you about," Fu Qingyang put down his hands, straightened his body, and said in a deep voice:
"While you were in the dungeon, the chairman of the Merchant Guild, the high-level executives of the Dionysus Club, and the Marshal had a fight in Songhai. The chairman's Myriad Treasures Tree was damaged, and hundreds of items hanging on the branches scattered everywhere. Yesterday, the headquarters held a meeting of the Ten Elders, requiring all branches to mobilize all manpower to recover the scattered items, lest the Marshal's moral value be cleared."
"I took the opportunity to exempt you from a month of imprisonment. You are free again. Your main task now is to clean up that trash's mess."
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned.
An ancient bronze sculpture caused such a commotion in Jinhui City. Hundreds of items scattered among the people. This, this is simply unimaginable.
"With the standards of the demigods, don't they have any crowd control ability?" He just felt incredible.
"That trash has only been promoted to demigod for a few years after all, and he's an extremist. His destructive power is rare in the world, but he can't control his sword energy freely," Fu Qingyang said with regret. "There are no heroes in this era, letting trash occupy high positions."
"Boss, aren't you afraid of death? Did you forget how you were beaten last time? This time, don't blame me. If you get beaten, don't think about taking it out on me!" Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a moment and asked, "What is the Myriad Treasures Tree?"
"A rule-based item of the Void profession."
"The rule-based item was damaged?" Zhang Yuanqing was shocked.
"Rule-based items are not so easily damaged, but anything that can be easily damaged can definitely be easily restored. These are not the main points. The main point is that this incident is both a crisis and an opportunity," Fu Qingyang opened his computer and typed information while saying, "The headquarters issued a notice. After collecting and subduing the items, you don't have to hand them over. You can also exchange them for merit points. In addition, according to the analysis of several existing cases, solving a case caused by an item can obtain a very high moral value reward." As he spoke, he turned the laptop towards Zhang Yuanqing.
The latter fixed his eyes on it, and the screen showed an investigation report.
The report summarized several recent cases caused by items:
#Dozens of households in a residential area in Songhai were collectively burglarized. The monitoring did not capture anything unusual. Is it a supernatural event or is there something else going on?#
#Several female college students at Songhai University ran naked on campus at night, stating that it was the master's mission#
#Bank vault robbed#
#A man disappeared while jogging at night and died in the park the next day, suspected of being strangled by vines#
These cases have been properly resolved, the perpetrators have been arrested, and the items have been recovered. According to the official Wayfarers who handled the cases, they received a large amount of moral value.
It is indeed a good opportunity to accumulate moral value and merit points. Although I don't need merit points, moral value is what I want. Hmm, and items. Zhang Yuanqing pondered and sighed:
"Most people, after obtaining items, will indulge their desires and try things they wouldn't dare to do normally. This is the consequence of superpowers falling into the hands of the people."
Wayfarers restricted by moral value still do good deeds while doing evil, let alone ordinary people who have no taboos.
Maybe not everyone will do bad things, but as long as some people have evil thoughts, it will be enough to cause chaos.
"There's no need to worry too much. The Void profession has treasure hunting skills. That chairman will solve most of the problems himself. The rest is what we and the Dionysus Club have to deal with."
Who would have thought that one day, evil professions would also be busy maintaining order. Zhang Yuanqing first complained in his heart, then Fu Qingyang's words sparked inspiration:
Little Doubi has treasure hunting abilities. I can completely use it to quickly collect the items in Songhai City and make a fortune.
Thinking of this, he couldn't wait.
Next, the two focused on discussing the handling of the two items, the benefits they hoped to exchange for, and the bargaining process with the Huaihai Branch and the headquarters.
After speaking, Fu Qingyang said:
"Guan Ya still doesn't know that you entered the Battle of Yashan. I only told her that you entered a dungeon."
Just right, let Little Green Tea contact the Xie family. Zhang Yuanqing bowed slightly, snapped his fingers, and teleported away as a dreamlike starlight.
Small villa.
Downstairs in the living room, Xie Lingxi, wearing hot pants, sat cross-legged on the sofa, hugging a cushion, and said:
"Queen-jie, hasn't Brother Yuanshi come out of the dungeon yet? It's been a day and a half."
She wore a loose bun, her hair falling messily, giving her a lazy beauty. The girl's legs were not yet rounded enough, but they were fair, slender, and bony, and her crystal jade toes were slightly curled.
The Queen and Guan Ya sat at the dining table, enjoying afternoon tea prepared by a bunny girl. Neither of the two hot big sisters paid attention to her, concentrating on browsing the forum.
"So many items scattered outside. It's fine if ordinary people get them, but if they are obtained by evil professions, they will inevitably create a batch of high-quality enemies." The Queen pinched her eyebrows, then turned her head to respond to Little Green Tea: "The Empress herself isn't worried. Why are you, a little girl, worrying?"
"Don't be sarcastic." Guan Ya bit into a sweet treat and said, "Fu Qingyang didn't tell me the dungeon level. What's the use of worrying blindly? Yuanshi has experienced all kinds of storms since becoming a Wayfarer. Just wait for news."
Xie Lingxi actually had the same mentality and immediately asked curiously:
"Why didn't Elder Fu tell you the dungeon information? Is there anything special about the dungeon Brother Yuanshi entered?"
"I guess it must be S-level," Li Chunfeng, who was frantically coding and taking on private jobs at another table, interjected:
"Yuanshi Tianzun's performance in the killing dungeon destined the difficulty level of his first dungeon in the Saint Realm."
"S-level is S-level, but why hide it from Guan Ya?" The Queen asked in confusion.
Li Chunfeng couldn't answer and continued coding.
"Ah, I really want to know about Brother Yuanshi's dungeon." Xie Lingxi lay on the sofa, sighing while looking at the ceiling.
Suddenly, she heard the Queen call out in surprise:
"Captain, you're back?!"
Xie Lingxi suddenly sat up and saw Brother Yuanshi's familiar face.
She opened her arms in surprise and pounced on her brother, but the heartless brother pressed her forehead and pushed her back to the sofa.
Zhang Yuanqing said:
"I made you worry."
Guan Ya quickly got up to greet him. Her hurried physical movements showed that she was not as calm as she appeared.
"What kind of dungeon was it this time?" the old driver asked curiously.
Xie Lingxi and the other three waited with interest for the answer.
Zhang Yuanqing was about to speak when he saw a few grains of white sugar on her delicate mouth, so he reached out his finger, wiped them off, and put them in his mouth to suck on.
"Ew~"
Xie Lingxi and the Queen showed expressions of suspicion and jealousy at the same time.
Guan Ya, however, had a charming and bright smile.
Zhang Yuanqing sucked on his finger and said, "The dungeon I entered this time was the Battle of Yashan."
Guan Ya and the Queen were still chewing on the name of the dungeon, but Xie Lingxi's sharp scream had already torn through the quiet of the living room:
"What? The Battle of Yashan?!"
She rolled off the sofa and hopped to Zhang Yuanqing's side, her little hands tightly gripping his arm, stammering:
"Ya, the Battle of Yashan? Is it really the Battle of Yashan?!"
Zhang Yuanqing 'hmmed'.
Xie Lingxi's heart was pounding wildly. She took a deep breath and forced down her excited emotions:
"Then, then, who took my family's item? Brother Yuanshi, who were your teammates?"
Looking at the excited Xie Lingxi, Guan Ya and the Queen suddenly realized and remembered the relevant rewards for the Battle of Yashan.
"Brother, tell me quickly. That item is too important to our Xie family. After the Saint Infant's head was lost in the dungeon, the ancestor was angry for several months. No matter who has it, our Xie family must buy it back." Zhang Yuanqing only remained silent for a few seconds before she couldn't wait any longer.
"Now that you say that, I know the Xie family's attitude." Zhang Yuanqing smiled and asked:
"Then how much money are you willing to spend to buy it? Give me a price, and I'll consider it."
Xie Lingxi was stunned. She stared blankly at Yuan Shi Tianzun for about three or four seconds before the girl's sharp voice echoed again:
"Ahhhh, Brother Yuanshi, I love you to death!"
In the study, Fu Qingyang dialed the phone number of an elder of the Huaihai Branch.
"Fu Qingyang?" A dignified voice with a hint of doubt came from the phone: "What can I do for you?"
The Cold-Blooded Detective Elder was an excellent detective before becoming a Wayfarer. Later, he obtained a character card, became a scout, and joined the White Tiger Corps of the Five Elements Alliance.
Although both were elders of the White Tiger Corps, he and Fu Qingyang did not have much contact. The Huaihai Branch and the Songhai Branch rarely had business dealings.
Therefore, the Cold-Blooded Detective was deeply puzzled by Fu Qingyang's call.
Fu Qingyang said:
"Yuan Shi Tianzun just came out of the dungeon."
"So?" The voice on the other end of the phone became even more puzzled.
Fu Qingyang replied in a calm tone: "He entered the Battle of Yashan, and the Yin-Yang Disc is on him."
After speaking, he heard rapid breathing from the microphone.
Crab City, a lush garden.
Fish ponds, rockeries, pavilions, terraces, flower beds, green trees, and winding paths are always the words that people can't help but think of when it comes to gardens in the Jiangnan style.
As soon as you think of these words, you feel that the scenery is as beautiful as a painting.
In such beautiful scenery, in the gazebo by the fish pond, there is a woman who is more beautiful than the scenery.
She was wearing a light green cheongsam, with lifelike lotus flowers embroidered on the skirt. Her retro hairstyle was decorated with pearls and gold hairpins.
Her full buttocks supported the skirt, showing the shape of a peach from the side, like half a moon. The waist curve suddenly tightened, making her waist slender, and above that, there were thousands of styles.
Her face was also extremely outstanding, with a beautiful oval face, light makeup, and black eyeliner outlining bright and energetic eyes. Her eyebrows and eyes had the delicate charm of a girl, but also did not lose her charm. Her facial features were five or six points similar to Xie Lingxi's.
The beautiful woman in the cheongsam held a celadon bowl in her jade hand, her scallion-like fingers twisted the bait, gently scattering it, attracting the koi in the pond to compete for food, stirring up waves.
In the gazebo, a man with handsome features and fine crow's feet at the corners of his eyes slowly sipped tea.
"Master, when are you bringing your daughter back?"
The beautiful woman stood by the pond, her delicate and slender willow eyebrows furrowed, "She's been locked up for half a month. I originally planned to let her learn the piano during the summer vacation. This Yuan Shi Tianzun is really something, causing trouble as soon as he was promoted. How can Lingxi have a future following him?"
Her voice was soft and delicate, able to make people feel numb to the bone.
"Aren't you quite admiring of him?" Xie Su smiled.
"Wasn't I just bewitched by his beauty? He played really well in the arena competition. The ladies in the circle are all obsessed with him. I haven't seen him for a while. I've forgotten what he looks like." Xie's mother sighed.
Xie Su shook his head helplessly.
Xie's mother is a typical fangirl, liking this little fresh meat today and liking that little fresh meat tomorrow, but her memory is not very good. If she doesn't watch dramas for a while, she will forget what the little fresh meat looks like.
"With his personality, it's really difficult to get along in the officialdom, but Lingxi clearly said that he's very slippery, speaking human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts. I'll meet him in person at the Crab Feast in September," Xie Su said.
He no longer doubted Yuan Shi Tianzun's talent. What he was worried about now was his temperament.
Previously, when Xie Lingxi praised Yuan Shi Tianzun in front of him, the most she said was 'this boy is cunning', a talent who can get along in the system.
"Then why don't you let Lingxi go home?" Xie's mother tentatively asked.
As she was speaking, the phone that Xie Su had placed beside him rang. The caller was his precious daughter, Xie Lingxi.
