"Didi."

The yellow light flickered and went out. The probes of the three projection devices slowly retracted, and the holographic projection in the study disappeared.

"After this, I just need to wait for the reply from Tian Fa. Hopefully, it will be handled before I enter the solo instance," Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself. He saw the study door open and Fu Qingyang, dressed in white, walked in. He glanced at him and said faintly, "Your posture is wrong. You need to straighten your back, keep your eyes at a forty-five-degree angle downward, and have no expression on your face. This will give you a stronger aura and more pressure."

Zhang Yuanqing quickly stood up. "Boss, what are you talking about? How could I learn from you? Wouldn't that be a coup? I just need to follow you. Following you, Boss, I'll get some meat to eat."

Fu Qingyang scoffed, giving a rare sarcastic tone. "By next year, I might be calling you Boss."

Am I leveling up too fast, making him feel pressured? Zhang Yuanqing thought.

"There is a little pressure," Fu Qingyang returned to his throne. "So I will take a long vacation and enter the White Tiger Army's gang instance to gain experience. You might not see me for a while."

The instance cycle of a Ruler is too long. Since Fu Qingyang advanced to Ruler, he has only entered an instance once, and the next instance is far off. His White Tiger Guard instance has already been cleared, so if he wants to level up, he can only emulate the Marshal.

"Like the Marshal, entering an instance for a year?" Zhang Yuanqing frowned.

Fu Qingyang looked at him. "You seem to be mocking me!"

Fu Qingyang said coldly, "Who can train in an instance for a year like her? My goal for myself is level eight. With my combat power and the Swordsman's Cloak, the mortality rate will still be as high as 70%. As for the time, it will be three months at the longest, and one month at the shortest."

Zhang Yuanqing frowned. "When are you entering the gang instance?"

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment. "I'll enter the gang instance as soon as the compensation from Tian Fa arrives. Yuanshi, I've had the idea of entering the White Tiger Army instance for a long time, but before, you were only a level 4 Saint. You didn't have the ability to protect yourself against experts, and you were too ostentatious. There were too many evil professionals who wanted to kill you. I wasn't very reassured."

"Now you are invincible below the Ruler and have a Five Elements Power experience card. You can even compete against level 7 Rulers, and you have the ability to protect yourself against level 8 Rulers. You are no longer a sapling that needs to be cared for."

Zhang Yuanqing stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then took a deep breath and grinned. "Boss, what you're saying is, I don't need you to look after me, okay? You just go ahead and level up, just don't die in the instance."

A 70% mortality rate is okay, not a big problem.

Fu Qingyang nodded. "When I'm not here, Elder Gou will be watching over here. The plants in the courtyard are his eyes. When necessary, he will descend through the plants as a medium."

"Also, Tian Fa will most likely give a reply tomorrow. You are only willing to return three items, and the price you're asking is a bit high. They will definitely bargain. Just be reasonable, don't be too picky."

"Understood," Zhang Yuanqing nodded.

Fu Qingyang added, "By the way, you and Guan Ya can move here. There are many bunny girls in the villa. They have received professional training and can provide you with assistance from life to official business."

Boss, rest assured and leave the bunny girls to me. I will definitely use them better than you, Zhang Yuanqing complained inwardly.

The next day, Zhang Yuanqing woke up to Xie Lingxi's crisp voice. "Brother, we're back."

He went out in his pajamas and came to the living room. He saw the Queen and Little Green Tea dragging their suitcases, sprawled on the sofa, looking very unladylike.

"You guys are so slow," Zhang Yuanqing complained.

Driving back to Songhai from Bagui Province only takes about twenty hours. They should have been back yesterday.

"We wanted to have fun too," Xie Lingxi came forward and hugged her brother's arm.

"Has the Pluto's matter been resolved? Did Tian Fa do anything to you?" the Queen asked. Zhang Yuanqing told them about the negotiation process.

"Yay, dividends, dividends!" Xie Lingxi jumped up happily.

Zhang Yuanqing pressed her forehead and pushed her onto the sofa. "You didn't do anything, why would you get dividends?"

"Well, even if I didn't make a contribution, I suffered, right?" Xie Lingxi pouted.

"Well, I originally wanted to give you two a Saint-quality item, but that would make you too reliant on items, and mechanical weapons are about to become popular, you two don't need external assistance..." Before Zhang Yuanqing could finish speaking, he heard Xie Lingxi murmur, "You seem to have forgotten your nickname, haven't you? You're Item Venerable." Zhang Yuanqing knocked her on the head.

"Five hundred thousand Federal currency for each of you, that's the decision."

The Queen immediately smiled. Getting money is also good.

She usually spends money extravagantly, and her salary and bonuses are barely enough. This trip, she first received one million in stolen money, plus five hundred thousand Federal currency, for a total income of nearly five million.

Zhang Yuanqing was about to distribute the money when his phone suddenly rang. It was a call from Fu Qingyang.

"Hello?" he answered the phone.

"Come to a meeting," Fu Qingyang said.

Zhang Yuanqing perked up and snapped his fingers, teleporting to the neighboring room.

In the spacious and luxurious study, the three projection devices were already working, projecting wide conference tables and participants in front of the conference tables with three fluorescent blue beams, just like that day.

Zhang Yuanqing passed through the crowd and sat down behind the desk, and his figure immediately appeared at the conference table. Everyone's eyes immediately turned to him.

Elder Miao took the lead and said, "Yuanshi Tianzun, Tian Fa headquarters has responded." He looked at the Hunter and paused.

The Hunter said loudly, "After deliberation by the board of directors, Tian Fa is willing to provide a Saint-level Rule-type item, a Ruler-quality material. You can keep the Seal of Thor and the Enchantment Perfume, but you must return the Heart of the Ocean, the Unbalanced Doll, and the Sword of Judgement."

The Ruler-quality materials have changed from three to one. Zhang Yuanqing pondered for a few seconds and said, "Deal."

Osmon and Shazu breathed a sigh of relief. "Can I ask about the attributes of the Rule-type item?" he asked curiously.

The Hunter looked at him coldly, "You can choose not to trade, but you do not have the right to choose the Rule-type item. We will give you whatever we give you."

These words were impolite, but Zhang Yuanqing did not refute them and shrugged. "As long as the grade is high enough."

Rule-type items are not cabbages. Saint-quality Rule-type items are rarer than Ruler items. Zhang Yuanqing didn't think he had the possibility of choosing. Elder Miao immediately said, "After the meeting, please give me the compensation for mental and property losses, Hunter."

"Yuanshi Tianzun, you can give the returned items to Fu Qingyang. If there are no problems, the meeting is adjourned." Elder Miao took the lead in disappearing into the beam of light, and the others left one after another.

Zhang Yuanqing immediately got up, snapped his fingers, and came to the entrance of the basement. The basement has a magic circle seal, so it is impossible to sneak in using teleportation. He used his access card to swipe open the iron door and came to the sixth room on the left.

On the single bed, Pluto sat against the wall, looking over. "Will I be handed over to Tian Fa or to your Five Elements Alliance headquarters?"

"It's all the same," Zhang Yuanqing opened the iron door and made a gesture of invitation.

He took Pluto to the first floor lobby. Fu Qingyang was already sitting on the soft sofa in the living room waiting.

Zhang Yuanqing opened the gang warehouse of "Return of the Dead" and took out the three items, "Heart of the Ocean" and so on, and gave them to Fu Qingyang.

Qian Gongzi was too lazy to look and directly put them into the warehouse. Then, he pressed Pluto's shoulder, looked at his trusted subordinates, and said, "After the transaction is completed, I will put the items and materials into the White Tiger Guard's warehouse. You can apply to receive them. I will not return."

He looked at Zhang Yuanqing and said, "I will try to leave the instance before October."

After speaking, he turned into a sword light and rushed out of the hall, soaring into the sky.

Zhang Yuanqing stayed where he was for a few seconds before realizing the meaning of Fu Qingyang's last sentence.

October is the deadline for his death tribulation.

His throat seemed to be choked by something, and he rushed out of the living room. The sky was blue, and the white figure was long gone.

At eleven o'clock in the afternoon, Zhang Yuanqing received a text message from Fu Qingyang.

"The last two rows of the warehouse contain too many Saint-quality materials. Take them in batches."

In the bedroom, Zhang Yuanqing jumped out of bed, came to the desk, and opened the White Tiger Guard's gang warehouse with complicated emotions. He scanned the materials and items in the last two rows and applied to use them one by one.

Forty Saint-quality items. He took them three times, filling the bedroom floor. With Fu Qingyang in charge, he didn't check the quality and directly put them into Little Red Riding Hood. Neither the gang warehouse nor the item bar could hold so many materials.

Next were the four Ruler-level materials from headquarters and the one Ruler-level material from Tian Fa. After the materials were received, Fu Qingyang sent another message.

"Swordsman Item"

Zhang Yuanqing immediately opened the gang warehouse. After the application was approved, he took out a blood-colored bracer. After waiting a few seconds, the item attributes appeared.

[Name: Bracer of Despair]

[Type: Armor]

[Function: Potential]

[Introduction: It belongs to a famous one-armed swordsman. The one-armed swordsman was weak and sick from an early age and was born with insufficient strength. Therefore, he gave his all in every battle and burned his boats. Over time, this bracer became infected with his will. Swordsmen wearing the bracer have double the effect of burning their boats, lasting for five minutes.]

[Note: According to the law of conservation of energy, power does not arise out of thin air. All outbreaks require paying a price.]

Burning the boats is a swordsman's desperate skill, similar to Night Wanderer's Howling Moon, but Howling Moon enhances the Night Wanderer's skills, while burning the boats is an all-round enhancement.

Double the effect of burning the boats is a terrifying increase. This is a top-quality item that allows Guan Ya to fight beyond her level.

The price is that after five minutes, she will fall into a state of weakness. It's enough for Guan Ya to use until level six. Zhang Yuanqing happily put it into the item bar. Finally, he applied to Fu Qingyang for the Rule-type item.

After being approved, a simple matchbox fell on the desk.

A matchbox, this thing obviously can't be used in battle. Light a match and burn the enemy with a blister? Zhang Yuanqing picked it up with a strange expression, held it in his hand, and read the item attributes.

[Name: Little Girl's Matchbox]

[Type: Solid Fuel]

[Function: Wish]

[Introduction: A matchbox from a famous little girl. Light a match and make a wish to the flame, and your wish will come true. This is the rule.]

[Note: The little girl did not get roast goose and Christmas trees. Do you know what that means?]

[Note: Never strike the third match, or you will see your grandmother.]

[Note: The matches in the box are refreshed every 24 hours.]

[Note: Although wishes will definitely come true, it will not fulfill any wish for you.]

[Note: When the matchbox fulfills your wish, you must also fulfill someone else's wish.]

When he saw "Introduction", Zhang Yuanqing's first reaction was, "Damn, I'm rich."

But he felt something was wrong, because the function of making wishes come true was too buggy and completely unreasonable.

The second time he saw the notes, his heart sank.

Obviously, there are restrictions on making wishes, but the content of the notes is too general. To truly understand how to use the item, you must put it into the item bar to complete the soul binding.

Notes 2, 3 and 4 are easy to understand. You can't make more than three wishes in a day, or you will see your dead grandmother in heaven. The number of matches will be refreshed after 24 hours.

As for Note 1, he didn't understand.
