Chapter 284: Chapter 284

Qian Qi, who had never seen so much money, was feeling dizzy; even walking felt like stepping on cotton and clouds, all soft and muddy.

"12 billion, 3 billion to buy a large estate, 3 billion for A-level Moyu, 700 million for B-level Concentration Fruit, 300 million for B-level Flame Dog, 300 million for B-level Extreme Cold Storm Wolf, 300 million for B-level Flying Divine Wing Wolf, aha~ still can save 5.2 billion~"

Qian Qi counted on her fingers and grinned foolishly to the system, "Brother Tongzi, look~ even my leftover amount is in the shape of love for you~"

"What kind of expression is that?" Qian Qi put her hands on her hips, dissatisfied, "I’ve spent 3.8 billion for you already, what else are you not satisfied with!"

System: [Nothing, just looking forward to seeing you transition from rich and elated to utterly penniless and heartbroken, it would definitely be delightful~]

Qian Qi had an ominous premonition, and at that moment, a phone ringing as suddenly as a bomb in a fishpond shocked her. Thɪs chapter is updated by NoveI-Fire.ɴet

Who’s calling! Is it some shameless person wanting to borrow money?!

Li Hongsheng? Tang Yunde? Or the principal?

Qian Qi’s small face turned fierce as she looked at the Light Brain, only to find it was Su Ang.

"Aha! It’s the Rich Little White Mouse!" When she saw it was Su Ang calling, Qian Qi let out a long sigh of relief, as if she had walked through the gates of hell; Su Ang was the richest and certainly wouldn’t come to borrow money from her!

"Hello? Senior, what’s up?" Qian Qi picked up the phone, and just in case, she added, "Any talk of borrowing money is off the table, I currently don’t have a dime."

On the other side, Su Ang chuckled softly. It was very quiet on his end, as if he was alone. After hesitating for a moment, he spoke softly in a somewhat hoarse and tired voice, "Junior Qian Qi, I want to ask you something, can you... find the dungeon hidden underground?"

The atmosphere suddenly fell silent, and alarm bells rang loud in Qian Qi’s mind as she guardedly asked, "Who said that? How come I don’t know I’m so amazing?"

"Before..." Su Ang weighed his words, "Didn’t you discover the instance on Full Moon Street in Fucheng?"

Qian Qi immediately denied, "That was just an accident, a coincidence."

"Then what about Song City? You predicted the outbreak of the Magic Beast Tide, and clearly that B-level dungeon was very stable."

"..." Qian Qi bit her molars slightly; indeed, one shouldn’t mix too closely with smart people, it’s easy to expose too much, "Senior Su, what exactly are you trying to say?"

"I hope you can help me find a few hidden underground A-level instances." After the Song City event, Su Ang came straight to the point, "The reward is negotiable."

"The reward is negotiable" was precisely Qian Qi’s weak point, making her both wildly tempted and somewhat hesitant. This was an opportunity to double the money in her hands, but it would also expose her ability to actually find instances, even though she had already "seemingly" exposed it in front of Su Ang...

"Is this your personal request?" Qian Qi asked probing.

"..." Su Ang hesitated, "Yes, and no."

What does that mean? Qian Qi asked in confusion, "Why are you looking for hidden underground A-level instances; do you want to let the Su Family Army enter the instances in advance and gain the upper hand?"

Su Ang slightly lowered his gaze. His reason for searching for A-level hidden instances was naturally not to gain the upper hand for the Su Family but because the Sealed City forces were now exhausted, and the difficulty of finding underground instances was too great; the excavation team had not found even one underground instance, not even a B-level one.

If they couldn’t find one soon, he would be unable to assist Hong City and Qing City, and if those two cities couldn’t find instances either, they would undoubtedly suffer innumerable casualties like the Sealed City and ultimately become dead cities...

At that time, the Seven Great Families would no longer be able to suppress the public opinion, and the Awakeners and Awakened Warriors would lose the trust of the people...

But he couldn’t tell the truth; he knew Qian Qi did not like to be morally coerced and wouldn’t buy into such talk. If he said it, it might provoke her displeasure. Moreover, he was very aware of what Qian Qi would face if she really came.

He... didn’t want her to be targeted by Su Xingchen.

The scenery at the peak wasn’t beautiful; it was extremely bloody and cruel. Someone as carefree as her should walk at her own pace freely, undisturbed, in the plains and rivers and streams, instead of being a puppet controlled by others on a stage.

His star-deep black eyes trembled slightly, and the silver-haired young man clenched his fists, speaking with a bit of cruel selfishness, "Yes, I want the Su Family Army to gain the upper hand."

So, you can refuse. Even if, in the end, bodies litter the landscape, it would be my powerless rebellion and cold-eyed observation, bearing no relation to you.

Upon hearing this response, Qian Qi was silent for a moment.

Lately, she had been researching Magic Plants back and forth between the hill and the laboratory, unaware of the external situation or what Su Ang was doing now.

Yet, subconsciously, she felt a trust that Su Ang wouldn’t lie to her, so when she heard him say this, she intuitively believed that he genuinely only wanted the Su Family Army to gain the upper hand.

After all, in the Sealed City before, He Qizhi had said how vital the quota for A-level instance bosses was to the Seven Great Families, and even Sikong Wang endured the humiliation of his mother for it. If Su Ang wanted to secure more A-level Awakeners for the Su Family, this request indeed had its justifications.

Qian Qi curled her lips; trusting that Su Ang wouldn’t lie to her was one thing, trusting Su Ang himself was another; she certainly didn’t trust the Su Family.

That Su Xingchen of the Su Family, since he could shape his own son into a "god," he could also unscrupulously force her to act as an instance detector. By then, if she has no money and couldn’t find an A-level instance, who knows what he would do to her?

Even if the other party knows she must have money to gain some incomprehensible abilities, the insecurity of being seen through would also feel uncomfortable. Once someone has a handle on you, you could never have peace of mind in this lifetime.

Moreover, she knew the Seven Great Families had always been competing for A-level instances, feeling there were too few A-level instances and not enough to use, but Su Ang, knowing she might have this ability and reluctant to publicize it, still wanted to use her ability to ensure the status of the Su Family...

Qian Qi began to regret thinking she shouldn’t have sought benefits by taking Su Ang to Fucheng.

After all, the gifts granted by fate were secretly marked with a price long ago...

Qian Qi said coldly as she refused, "I think Senior is overestimating me; I really don’t have such great ability."

Su Ang was silent for a while before finally saying, "Alright."

He merely replied with the simple word "Alright," then said, "I won’t disturb you," and hung up the phone.

The quick hang-up by Su Ang made Qian Qi breathe a slight sigh of relief while feeling there was something not quite right.
