Chapter 27: You Guys Are So Mean! The ‘Ten Thousand’ Gold Young Lady?
Seeing that she had been blocked, Chen Man wasn’t angry.
Hmph! You think I have no other way just because of this?
Meanwhile, the girls eating together at the pork rice restaurant were chatting excitedly.
“Manman, what’s your cousin’s background? Why does he seem to have such a high status?”
“Yeah! Those leaders are all high-level officials from Yunan Group.”
“And he’s so handsome too!”
Chen Man completely ignored the fact that she had been blocked and said proudly, “My brother is a student at Tianhai City University!”
“Wow~ A prestigious school!”
“No wonder. So he’s a top student.”
“How’s your relationship with your brother? Can you arrange something for us?”
“Yeah, maybe it’s just a matter of him saying a word.”
Chen Man didn’t dare to make any definitive promises.
She just said, “I’ll talk to him when I invite him out for a meal later.”
“Can you bring me along too?”
“Me! Bring me along too! Please~”
“Don’t rush. We’ll see later.”
After lunch.
Bai Yu and the others, not having received any new arrest missions, returned to the Investigation Bureau.
Here, it was usually busiest in the morning and evening.
The afternoons were for cultivation and improving strength; one must not slack off.
Seeing that he had free time, Bai Yu naturally seized the opportunity. In the courtyard of the Investigation Bureau, he spent an hour and a half completing a thirty-kilometer running task.
He then returned to his room, cleaned himself up, and began circulating his cultivation technique.
At this moment, it only took him 25 minutes to complete one Great Heavenly Cycle!
And after each circulation, his speed would increase by one or two seconds.
He was busy until almost six in the afternoon.
His phone rang.
Liu Feifei’s voice sounded, “It’s time to eat! It’s time to eat! How old are you, and you still need me to call you.”
“Coming right up!”
Canteen.
Bai Yu looked around. There were many fewer people than in the morning, with most seats empty.
He immediately found the table where Li Yunbin and the others were sitting.
As he walked over, he saw a large plate of dishes on the table that looked anything but ordinary.
The strangest dish was six blue beads that looked like glass marbles.
“What are all these?”
Liu Feifei said proudly, “A country bumpkin who’s never seen fine grains. Come, Sister will introduce them to you.”
After a brief introduction, he learned that these blue beads were seedless longan. The reason they were blue was that they had absorbed a large amount of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Energy.
There was also a plate of chicken that had grown by eating spiritual herbs! It was truly a case of the chicken living a better life than humans.
“Each one of these is worth twenty Contribution Points, equivalent to two thousand Federal Currency.”
“You always talk about the price, making me reluctant to eat them.”
Li Yunbin, standing beside them, smiled and said, “Eat with peace of mind. Only by improving our strength can we better deal with enemies.”
“Moreover, ever since you arrived, we’ve solved a significant case. You’re a lucky star.”
“This meal is a simple welcome banquet, so feel free to enjoy yourselves.”
“Come, sit down.”
Bai Yu was not polite. Just looking at these spiritual energy foods made his mouth water; he had long wanted to try them.
As they ate, they chatted about the recent situation, much livelier than in the morning.
The topic inevitably revolved around the Seventh Group’s current core objective—the Vampire Baron.
However, after examining all the clues, Bai Yu had no leads.
He thought to himself: 【 I can only hope for future intelligence. 】
If even the Seventh Group has no useful intelligence, then even if a god came, they wouldn’t be able to explain it!
Especially since the Vampire Baron’s strength is likely very high, he probably wouldn’t dare to directly identify them on the spot.
‘Strength is still the foundation! If I circulate ten Great Heavenly Cycles, I’ll probably only gain a dozen points of Spiritual Energy. It’s still too slow.’
‘To rapidly improve strength, Contribution Points are the key!’
‘Right! I’ve already extracted information from Sister Feifei, and I know for sure that the Investigation Bureau’s Treasure Vault allows the exchange of Yang Spirit Jujube and two other basic food items.’
‘After buying these three Spiritual Materials, the rest are ordinary Spiritual Materials. I can eat to my heart’s content.’
‘Also, based on what I know today, the spiritual soup in the canteen is harmful to ordinary people if they drink too much due to over-nourishment. But the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup is different! Even ordinary people can drink it. If I directly open a restaurant, I’ll make a fortune!’
Thinking of this, Bai Yu found an opportune moment and asked, “Captain, how are Contribution Points distributed within our group?”
“Thinking about the Treasure Vault?”
“Anyone who wants to improve their strength will think about it.”
He also wanted to see what good things the Official Treasure Vault actually had.
He even wondered if his Golden Finger could provide some intelligence for him to find a bargain.
“Let’s use this morning’s situation as an example. A Blood Slave is worth about one to two hundred points. According to our group’s distribution rules, eighty percent goes to the logistics members who identified the suspect.”
“As for that Zhu Chen, he’s special. The higher-ups are currently evaluating his strength and threat level before determining his reward. It’s likely to be around 3000 to 5000 Contribution Points. For this case, I’m currently considering giving thirty percent to the logistics team and ten percent to you. Any problems?”
The cases they dealt with daily only required them to visit the scene; most of the data was analyzed by the logistics team.
Handling two to three hundred cases a month was not something the six of them could manage alone.
They were a Combat Squad, and they received more rewards when dealing with monsters like Advanced Fishmen. In fact, for large-scale battles, they could easily earn thousands or tens of thousands of Contribution Points.
Bai Yu shook his head.
“No problem.”
He indeed hadn’t exerted much effort.
If he had told Li Yunbin who the murderer was from the start and only received ten percent, he might not have been satisfied.
With his current strength, getting ten percent was thanks to the Golden Page.
Speaking of which, Li Yunbin changed the subject and asked, “Then, how much do you think that Vampire Baron is worth in Contribution Points?”
Bai Yu thought for a moment and said conservatively, “Twenty thousand?”
“Fifty thousand, and you can also choose some good items from a higher-level Treasure Vault. This is just the bounty for a solo kill. In reality, defeating this guy would undoubtedly mean a heavy blow to the Vampire Clan, with additional rewards. All in all, tens of millions, enough to get an Ancient God Advancement Item.”
Holy cow! One head is worth five million!
It’s practically a walking treasure vault! Love it~ Love it~
“How about it? Do you have the confidence to catch him?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu was stunned for a moment.
Alright!
Earlier, he mentioned him being a lucky star, and now he’s bringing this up again. The Group Leader wants to see his capabilities.
We’re all men, can’t we have some privacy between us?
Of course, compared to before, Li Yunbin probably no longer intended to pry into Bai Yu’s deepest secrets. He just wanted Bai Yu to be more honest and share any intelligence directly instead of hiding it.
Catching the culprit is the key!
Understanding this, Bai Yu didn’t intend to play coy.
He needed to respond to the Group Leader, and then they could slowly reach a tacit understanding.
This would also allow him to use intelligence to earn a lot of Contribution Points! And reduce casualties.
Especially in the morning, seeing the tears of the old teacher’s family and the old teacher’s file.
Such tragedies always evoke strong emotions.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu also looked up and glanced around stealthily.
Even the slowest Liu Feifei seemed to know something.
It seemed they had communicated before he arrived.
“It’s hard to say right now. But I will definitely do my best!”
“It’s good that you have that intention. I also hope that the members of our group can be more united and honest.”
“I understand!”
The atmosphere seemed to have lightened considerably.
“Beep beep beep~”
Bai Yu glanced at it; it was his phone ringing.
An unknown number.
There were no secrets, so he answered directly and put it on speakerphone.
“Hello, who is this?”
“Heh heh~ You blocked me?”
Hearing the voice, it was Chen Man. Bai Yu felt a headache coming on; she was truly a jinx.
“What is it? Speak quickly if you have something to say.”
“Then I’ll ask directly, can you arrange a less demanding job for me now? If you do, I won’t bother you anymore. Otherwise, I’ll call you dozens of times a day.”
As soon as she said this, Liu Feifei’s eyes widened in surprise.
What’s going on? Is this how family members talk?
It wasn’t like this at noon.
Bai Yu knew that everyone in the group was smart, so he didn’t intend to worry about saving face.
“Oh, this issue. With my current status, arranging a position for you should be quite simple. However, is this how you ask for a favor?”
“Heh heh, then I’ll come to your school to find you!”
“Then be prepared to be dragged into a back alley and beaten.”
“I’m calling the police!”
“Oh, I might not be afraid of that. Come, give me an address, and I’ll send someone over now to arrange a hospital bed for you.”
“Then I’ll tell my mom!”
“That’s even better, go ahead and complain. I’ll send a car over first and throw you into the bottom of Cloud Lake.”
“Beep beep beep~”
After speaking, Bai Yu hung up the phone.
Liu Feifei couldn’t help but ask, “Do people in your family talk like this?”
“You are indeed a bit slow.”
“Hmph! I’m really angry now.”
“But you’re very cute like this.”
“You haven’t appeased me.”
“Uh…”
He shrugged helplessly and then looked apologetically at the other team members. This was truly an internal family matter that damaged his image.
However, Jiang Chen quietly said, “If you need to fight, you can find me. I have connections.”
“. I’ll just scare her.”
“She probably isn’t afraid of being scared, though.”
“Yeah, that’s true. That’s why it’s a headache.”
Beside them, Zhao Bin, wearing glasses and looking refined, said, “Your behavior is too barbaric. We live in a civilized society now. We can’t hit too hard, or she won’t learn her lesson. I have a good idea.”
Bai Yu’s eyes lit up: “What idea?”
“She’s definitely bragging to her acquaintances using your identity right now, but no one can expose her. However, if she’s fired and loses this job, people around her will surely realize she’s lying. At the same time, she’ll feel immense pressure.”
Liu Feifei muttered, “You three men are so wicked!”
“Girls shouldn’t interrupt.”
Bai Yu, on the other hand, was excited to hear this. He had been bullied by this cousin many times when he was young.
After his parents passed away, he had spent New Year’s at his Aunt’s house twice, but his cousin’s disdainful attitude was still fresh in his memory.
However, considering his Aunt’s feelings, he felt he couldn’t be too harsh.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu said, “Firing her would teach her a lesson. But she’ll probably complain to Aunt afterwards, and then I’ll be…”
Zhao Bin had already thought of a contingency plan: “That’s even easier. She wants a high-paying job, right? Let’s arrange one for her.”
“However, it has to be in the service industry. For example, a restaurant waitress. Then, let those capable managers teach her a lesson about her attitude. If she learns her lesson, won’t your family be happy too?”
Just hearing this plan made Bai Yu feel relieved.
He thought everyone in the group was a serious and honest person. He didn’t expect them to have such a ‘ready-to-go’ approach to dealing with people.
“It’s just… I don’t know any influential people now, so I can’t arrange it.”
“There’s no need to worry about that. Being in the Seventh Group is your biggest connection! Let Sister Wan Qing arrange it for you.”
That was quite a bold statement, but it was also the truth.
Bai Yu also looked at Qin Wanqing with surprise.
Liu Feifei explained from the side, “Yunan Group is owned by Wan Qing’s family.”
Holy cow! A rich woman!
Bah! With that appearance, she’s at least a ten-million-dollar young lady!
No wonder those guys were more polite to Qin Wanqing at the dining table, showering her with compliments.
From the scene at the time, he had guessed that Qin Wanqing might have some status, but he didn’t expect it to be related to Yunan Group.
Qin Wanqing felt a little embarrassed, but she still said, “I’ll just mention it to my father.”
OK! Verified.
Cousin? Just a spirited girl!
If I can’t discipline you, can’t society teach you a lesson?
Wait and taste the bitter whip of society.
