Chapter 220
The description sounded familiar... Looking at the gifts on the table, both spirits knew immediately who it was from. Little Ma Qi excitedly began to unwrap the present.
He Qi Pa pulled out a hamburger, unwrapped it, and took a bite. It had been a long time since Yu Xun Ge had sent something so characteristic of Blue Star: "Has a similar hamburger shop opened in Tun Tun Lin recently?"
Little Ma Qi replied, "Yeah, I heard it was opened by Blue Star people, but I can't find any evidence."
He Qi Pa chuckled, "The Blue Star folks aren't that bold yet. It must be Feng Lian who brought the recipe from Blue Star. Honestly, they make money even better than goblins."
Little Ma Qi said, "Teacher, I want to visit Blue Star."
He Qi Pa teased, "You want to descend there? If you survive three days, I’ll change your name to Little Ma Qi and let you call me He Qi Pa."
Little Ma Qi sighed, "Sigh, when will Ravenclaw finally die? I've already found a way to the Fountain of Immortality, and I’ll get my hands on it soon. Once she’s dead, I’ll turn her into a spirit and invite her over to my place... I just wonder if she can die in Ze Lan."
He Qi Pa: ... This kid still talks so frighteningly.
...
After a frantic rush, Yu Xun Ge and Tu Lan finally made it to Su Yi Tong's concert. They sat down just five minutes before earning a point.
Zhao Shu Ying handed over a notebook: "This contains the intel we've gathered on the Acorn. Come to the Special Affairs Bureau on the 15th for a brief meeting."
Yu Xun Ge asked, "When do we take action?"
Zhao Shu Ying replied, "Starting from midnight on the 13th, seven teams, including yours, will enter the Tower in batches, no later than the evening of the 14th."
Yu Xun Ge inquired, "Will you participate in this operation?"
Zhao Shu Ying confirmed, "Yes, I’ll be with the team in S City. You’ll join us then."
With so many people around, Yu Xun Ge opened the game interface and sent a message to Zhao Shu Ying.
【Yu Xun Ge】: If I want the skill crystal that Black Fei has, which can reverse contracts, what price do I need to pay?
【Zhao Shu Ying】: We want to buy it too, but the price Black Fei offered is beyond our means.
【Yu Xun Ge】: Dragon blood?
【Zhao Shu Ying】: Right, 500ml of dragon blood or ownership of a large dungeon.
【Yu Xun Ge】: Anything else? Can’t I just pay?
【Zhao Shu Ying】: He said he doesn’t have any use for money; he gets stronger purely through zero-cost purchases.
【Yu Xun Ge】: What level is that skill?
【Zhao Shu Ying】: Not sure. He’s tight-lipped. He looks arrogant and temperamental, but he never reveals key information.
What a pity. It seems that using conventional trading methods won’t get her the skill crystal for 【Reversal Moment】.
Back home, Yu Xun Ge took out the Mind Catcher and began to play with it. The siren's finger bones were like exquisite jade, slender and elegantly curved at the tips, resembling a piece of art.
There were too many mysteries, but the crisis was already clear, and the answer to resolve it lay right before her.
That was Black Fei's reversal skill!
No matter what means Mi Ya Si employed, as long as she could reverse, she could turn the tables at the last moment, just like when Yu Xun Huan had contracted Black Fei!
Since Black Fei wouldn’t sell the skill crystal, she would rent it!
Using 【One Answer (1/1)】—you can ask me one question related to wealth.
Yu Xun Ge asked, "I want to know the total wealth of Yu Xun Huan's master, the dragon Black Fei."
A line of tiny glowing text appeared above her palm: 357 gold coins.
Yu Xun Ge glanced at the money in her pocket...
Although she had spent a fortune on memory stones and the Dandelion of Disconnection, with the over 800 gold share from the Special Affairs Bureau's 【Time Will Always Squeeze In】 and the income from the rooftop vending machine, she still had 83,035 gold coins left.
Tu Lan quickly pulled out her phone and opened the calculator: "Oh my, you can rent it for 350 days, almost a year?"
Yu Xun Ge hesitated. Was it worth it?
Over 80,000 gold coins was the money she had saved for a top-tier skill book, not knowing when she might encounter one.
But after less than a minute of hesitation, she made up her mind: it was worth it!
The most important thing right now was Mi Ya Si. Until she figured out Mi Ya Si's true methods, his existence was like a sword hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment. She needed the reversal skill not just to turn the tables, but also for self-defense.
She was even prepared to temporarily abandon the Tower mission for Mi Ya Si. Even though she had invested so much effort to build a relationship with Ding Hai, that relationship paled in comparison to the temptation of divine talent evolution.
Moreover, she had a bold guess: after dealing with Mi Ya Si, whether early or late, she would definitely still enter the Tower.
At that time, would the rental period be based on Black Fei's time or her own?
If she guessed right, and the rental time for the skill was calculated according to Black Fei's time, once she entered the Tower, it would be equivalent to having three hundred years!
Considering all these factors, spending the money to rent 【Reversal Moment】 was far better than saving it for an uncertain top-tier skill!
Just over 80,000 gold coins! Once 【Time Will Always Squeeze In】 starts selling, she wouldn’t lack for daily expenses.
As for whether Black Fei would give the money to Yu Xun Huan? Given Black Fei's hatred for her, that was impossible. And even if he did give it to Yu Xun Huan, she wouldn’t be able to stay hidden beside Black Fei for long. Couldn’t she just kidnap Yu Xun Huan for three days and nights?
After quickly weighing the pros and cons and making her decision, Yu Xun Ge no longer felt anxious. She didn’t even wait a few more days; the longer she waited, the more she feared Black Fei would suddenly strike it rich.
Besides, she had consumed the 【Golden Killer】 potion after arriving at Tun Tun Mountain, and its effects still had 9 hours left. With the effects still active, it was the perfect time to act. She had never thought that her previously least valued charm would become such a significant weakness.
【Jia Lai】 was still on cooldown. To avoid 【One Transaction】 counting Blue Star's money, Yu Xun Ge gave Tu Lan three hours to spend all the money on her card.
Tu Lan solemnly took Yu Xun Ge's card pouch: "I’ll spend it, don’t worry!"
In less than an hour, not only had all the money in her payment apps been spent, but several cards had also been maxed out.
Tu Lan asked, "How about it? Are you relieved now?"
Yu Xun Ge replied, "… Yeah, I’m resigned."
Although her wealth ranking would now include Tu Lan's wealth, Yu Xun Ge still felt a bit uneasy: "Are you sure all your pocket money on Dragon Island was borrowed by Bei Sui?"
Tu Lan confirmed, "I’m sure, not even a copper coin left... I even wanted to send you some pocket money."
In an instant, Yu Xun Ge found herself disliking Bei Sui!
【Chapter 255: 【Reversal Moment】 Acquired!】
As soon as the cooldown for 【Jia Lai】 ended, Yu Xun Ge set off, worried that Black Fei might catch a whiff of the dragon's scent, so she didn’t bring Tu Lan.
Even when she set off, she changed into an Acorn-style outfit and sprayed half a bottle of 【I Really Don’t Have Time to Bathe】 on herself to eliminate all scents. She modified all her information and used the Illusion Spell, directly shadow-stepping to the vicinity of Black Fei's residence. After marking a large tree as a star, she flew towards Black Fei, who was sleeping by the lake.
In the air, she held the shrunk Mind Catcher in her palm and activated the skill.
【One Transaction (1/1)】: Is there anything in this world that cannot be "borrowed" with money? My answer is, there is nothing.
Yu Xun Ge landed and walked up to Black Fei, saying, "Lord Feng Cang asked me to send his regards."
It wouldn’t be right to pin everything on Wu Ren. Knowing that what she had stolen from Wu Ren were two world tombstones, she couldn’t bear to trick him any further.
Let’s find a new friend to deceive; it’s decided, it’s you, Feng Cang!
And this wasn’t even a trick; over 80,000 gold coins! Renting a skill for just a year... who knows, maybe in the future, when Black Fei sees Feng Cang, he’ll even thank her.
Sensing something approaching and preparing to act, Black Fei: ?
Yu Xun Huan, who was giving Black Fei a bath: ?
Feng Cang?! Lord Feng Cang actually knows about me?!
Yu Xun Ge sensed that quite a few players were approaching, so she took out a small box she had prepared and poured all her gold, silver, and copper coins into it. Instantly, over 80,000 gold coins piled up into a mountain, creating a visually striking impact.
Looking at the gold coins in the box, she felt a deep sorrow. If only the next skill offered by 【Mind Catcher】 was 【Refund Only】, she would do anything to use it on Black Fei!
Suppressing her heartache, Yu Xun Ge pushed the box in front of Black Fei: "Lord Feng Cang asked me to give this to you. The City of Eternal Day always welcomes you."
The latter part of her sentence was ambiguous. Although the information provided by Xue Dui was precise enough, she wasn’t 100% sure that Black Fei was the dragon from the City of Eternal Day. Even if she was wrong, it could still be interpreted as Feng Cang's invitation.
Black Fei was momentarily dazzled by the golden coins. He didn’t really need gold coins since he didn’t require equipment, but he... he knew the value of gold coins! This pile of gold was making him feel like a wild beast.
Having lived for so many years, he could tell at a glance that there were at least 70,000 gold coins here.
It’s worth noting that many of the less favored royal families among the Twelve Holy Clans don’t even have a cash flow of ten thousand.
Feng Cang, Feng Cang actually used so many gold coins to recruit him... Ah, no wonder he’s the next generation of the Owl Emperor; he has such vision!
