Chapter 2469 - 2464: Moore

Chapter 2469: Chapter 2464: Moore

It’s clear that being kind to others has its benefits.

The reason a "tool person" is called a tool person is that their defining feature is unrelated to whether they want to be a tool or not—personal will has no impact on their attributes.

Though Madam Sunny yearns for a peaceful life and doesn’t want to be experimental material.

She’s been guided along the way to the Academy, repeatedly creating value.

In fact, this brief effort provided enlightenment regarding the tragic King Slayer incident years ago.

Of course, the credibility of Engraving Wisdom may not be very high.

Based on previous experiences, while it relies on reality to some extent, all sorts of bizarre interpretations may arise.

The idea of devouring the Tyrant’s remains can currently be treated as mere speculation.

But the feeling of the Blood Lake this time holds some credibility and is worth exploring at a later time.

With a sigh in his heart, at that moment Fu Qian’s gaze fell on Sunny’s face, quietly inspecting without saying a word.

Hmm...

The person who can build such a large team undoubtedly has strong momentum; Sunny lasted only two seconds before she was overpowered and awkwardly looked away.

Indeed, it proves that the previous sales pitch was spurred by the Dragon King’s encouragement. Now, even a new task doesn’t immediately register.

"Is there a suitable recommendation for someone who just reached drinking age here?"

But it doesn’t matter; as a gesture of thanks, Fu Qian doesn’t mind providing a new waiter with some performance metrics.

"Ah...yes."

With years of experience in the service industry, Sunny finally reacted after a brief pause, repeating the words she had just heard, successfully securing a team order.

"Now that’s more like it..."

Compared to the passivity at Engraving Wisdom, Fu Qian’s proactive behavior as a customer clearly satisfied Professor Lanaya, who didn’t make any complaints.

Drinking age...

As for Miss Liushuang beside them, she obviously realized that this phrase mainly referred to her.

Her gaze momentarily held a deeper meaning, but she didn’t ask as boldly as before.

"Cass mentioned that this is being done to prepare for an expedition?"

The only one who remained straightforward was Professor Lisa, who watched Sunny go retrieve the alcohol while asking the exact same question, only lacking curiosity about the small tools’ purpose.

"Indeed, it’s for an external scientific survey."

Fu Qian seamlessly copied and pasted his prior response.

...

Both guest and host thoroughly enjoyed themselves.

A minor incident only Fu Qian knew about made the department activity quite harmonious.

Even the sponsor, Professor Lanaya, was thoroughly pleased by having someone accompany her for a drink.

The event finally wound down as the tavern reached its evening peak.

Given Professor Lanaya’s lingering enjoyment, sipping a few more cups of Lisa’s drink made them feel warmly immersed, both choosing to stay longer while Fu Qian and the others left first.

"Still ten minutes later?"

Seeing the leader exit and look at the night sky, Miss Liushuang seemed to have an epiphany, clearly recalling a previous expedition’s departure experience.

"Hmm...roughly."

Fu Qian calculated this meticulously before nodding slightly.

Departing without planning to return was no surprise given she watched him take the items Professor Lisa sent.

"I wish you smooth sailing."

As expected, Miss Liushuang seemed to be touched by the leader’s hard work but ultimately said no more.

"Considering your contributions to promoting collaboration between the institutes, some material rewards from Heaven’s Commencement Institute might come your way, don’t hold back then."

Accepting Miss Liushuang’s blessing with a slight nod, Fu Qian casually instructed Wen Li, who was listening quietly beside them.

"Understood, I hope to live up to everyone’s expectations."

Having become a Demigod officially, combined with days of hard study, Wen Li’s skills as an Observer were evidently quite refined, unsurprised by Professor Fu’s journey, merely nodding slightly.

As for possible rewards from Heaven’s Commencement, she was momentarily surprised but didn’t waste time declining, given Professor Fu’s mention of "ten minutes."

"Very good."

Like Professor Fu, she turned around to leave next.

...

This is definitely the place.

A moment later, Fu Qian paused as he stopped in the evening’s darkness, examining the courtyard ahead.

The previous mention of "ten minutes" was calculated precisely, not said casually.

He truly estimated the distance between the tavern and Sunny’s residence.

Indeed, this is the courtyard where Sunny sunbathes.

Close to the tavern, and obviously uninhabited at the moment.

Having scouted it out before, Fu Qian now acted like he was in an empty realm, running inside to hunt for something.

Not here to make some money before leaving, even though Fu Qian was actually looking for something, which he seemed to find.

Reaching upstairs, at one moment, Fu Qian stopped, staring at a small bookshelf ahead.

Its size is small, with few books, but it’s exquisitely shaped, and appears new, likely purchased after Sunny moved in.

Regrettably, she doesn’t seem to be much of a reader; out of the dozen books, only one had signs of being flipped through, which was then left there.

Ah, young people indeed!

Sighing inwardly, Fu Qian picked up the book, flipping to the front page for a careful inspection.

Sure enough, they say books contain a mansion made of gold.

A strand of ink with an unusual scent moved alive on the page, drawing a somewhat familiar name—Moore?

If I recall correctly, it’s the ship’s location from the last Sea of Ashes journey.

...

Is this finally a message from an old friend? And unexpectedly at such a time.

Just preparing to embark for the Sea of Ashes, only for Lord Kelson to also invite him to Moore?

At that moment, Fu Qian sighed deeply.

Indeed, he has quite the confidence that the mark is from the mysterious Demigod of the Siren Group.

After all, he came specifically looking for such a trace.

Earlier, when saying depart in ten minutes, it wasn’t to further appreciate the local customs.

Reflecting on how Madam Sunny truly maximized her "tool person" value, certain associations inevitably appeared.

Don’t forget this tool person identity actually had two aspects: one being the Dragon King’s Oath Taker, and the other being the "Puppet" of Rebirth Club’s Old Master Lu.

At least in the eyes of Lord Kelson.

During the last Dragon Peak Chess, through a minor misdirection, he made Kelson mistakenly think Sunny was under his control.

The benefits included letting Sunny easily escape and giving Kelson a potential contact method when necessary.

Sunny’s whereabouts would almost certainly be monitored, and regardless of malicious intent, as long as Kelson thought of Old Master Lu, a connection attempt could be made this way.
