Chapter 1209 - 533: Each Ending

Nonsense!

Everyone understands the logic, but the problem is how to extract these hidden assets from the other party’s mouth.

But everyone has their own methods.

Ding Hui looked at the list of materials that was mostly complete and was still very happy.

Aside from these main materials, there are also many auxiliary materials to purchase, but those aren’t very expensive and are generally easy to find, so there’s no need to worry.

"Since you’ve already contacted him, when do you plan to rescue him and leave?"

"We’ll act tomorrow night. I’ve already informed the Hai Family, and the city gate guards will cooperate with the operation. Once this is done, we’ll leave Sunset City."

Ding Hui bit her lip slightly.

The materials needed for the research are not yet gathered, and she’s reluctant to leave.

She hoped that everything would be in place before proceeding to the next step.

But in reality, things often don’t go as planned.

"I’ll think of something else."

She had already sold some Medicine Pills, otherwise, the list of materials would still be missing a huge part.

There wasn’t enough time for her to perform alchemy on the spot.

At worst, she’d have to hit the road just like that.

But if the key materials to enhance the Bloodline Spirit are in that missing part, wouldn’t it be...

"Actually, I have another way to get some of the materials."

Fang Yu suddenly spoke, seemingly noticing Ding Hui’s dilemma.

Ding Hui looked up at him.

"What way?"

"Lord Hai Lin, before I leave, will give me a standard set of materials that can nourish the Sea Scale Root. This set of materials is undoubtedly valuable. But if I propose to replace this set with the materials we need, I believe Lord Hai Lin wouldn’t refuse. However, this means the Sea Scale Root can only be used as a material to extend lifespan."

Fang Yu looked at Ding Hui.

"Can you accept this result?"

Fang Yu originally planned to use the Sea Scale Root as a life-extending material, but Ding Hui seemed very interested in experimenting with the cultivation of Sea Scale Grass, along with various research and records.

Now making Ding Hui give up this joy, to be honest, was a bit of a burden for her...

But to Fang Yu’s surprise, Ding Hui just gritted her teeth, clenched her fist tightly, thought heavily for a while with her head down, and then slowly nodded.

"Go ahead and change it! Your matters... are more important than mine."

Ding Hui...

The stirring sensation in her heart surged again, and Fang Yu quickly turned away.

"Then I’ll, I’ll go talk to Lord Hai Lin."

"Okay..."

Striding out quickly, Fang Yu’s feeling gradually eased.

"Why... does Ding Hui seem more and more adorable? No, no! That’s Ding Hui!"

Shaking his head, Fang Yu took large strides, preparing to find Lord Hai Lin.

...

The next night, late at night.

Hai Family’s cell.

Lei Shenhao slowly opened his eyes.

"Sold it, huh... impressive!"

"No, I should say I’m not surprised, with you being a renowned figure in Sunset City, as influential as a local tyrant, things come naturally..."

To be honest, Lei Shenhao admired this.

The status, demeanor, and connections Fang Yu had now were exactly what Lei Shenhao wanted to achieve.

Yet now, he became a captive, shouted at by everyone, and his efforts over the past days were ruined overnight.

But a certain someone suddenly appeared, not only achieving what he always wanted to do but also far surpassing it.

With this person’s current status and fame, he’s practically the second-in-command in Sunset City, right under the Hai Family Patriarch.

"How suave... how unattainable that status is..."

Lei Shenhao sighed.

He logged out to ask his subordinates to investigate how Fang Yu dealt with his assets in Sunset City.

The result was... most were sold off directly, and even some assets he considered loss-making were sold off.

If it were him handling it, it wouldn’t be possible.

This is the benefit of reputation; being in that position means everyone shows him respect, making business naturally smooth.

"What’s he doing with that much cash?"

Lei Shenhao asked his subordinate, who went to investigate, and soon found that Fang Yu was purchasing various rare materials in bulk and stockpiling them.

This kind of stockpiling made Lei Shenhao smell a bit of a business opportunity.

Could it be... rare materials are about to skyrocket in price??

He ordered his subordinates to invest in buying some as well, while he entered the game and waited quietly.

Because the time was approaching the agreed moment.

"Will he come? The second-in-command in Sunset City!"

Lei Shenhao stared at the iron cell door, feeling as if a clock inside him was ticking, reminding him of the time.

Suddenly!

Thump, thump, thump!

Rapid footsteps approached quickly.

Judging by the shadows cast by the flickering candlelight, someone was approaching rapidly!

"Who goes there!"

"Who’s there!"

The two guards responsible for watching over him reacted, and Lei Shenhao’s heart leaped to his throat.

He knew very well that Diao Deyi could take care of the guards, but the anticipation of soon gaining freedom still made his heart restless.

These days, he even blurred the lines between the game and reality.

In reality, he was free and could do anything he wanted, but he couldn’t play the game, or rather, playing the game felt like imprisonment and pain, yet he still couldn’t resist the urge to log in and play!

Real life offered fewer and fewer thrills, not as stimulating or exciting as the new things in the game!
