Looking directly at the ancient gods for a whole year

Chapter 2741 Enthusiastic Volunteers

You can say anything; there's nothing you can't say.

The exchange between the two protagonists from the capital was so candid that Fu Qian expressed that he was also deeply moved and readily accepted their advice.

"Payment before... how come I've never heard of it before?"

Unfortunately, honesty often leads to misunderstandings.

Despite being bombarded with a series of bombarding announcements, Taylor, still beaming with pride, couldn't help but speak first.

The first thing they did was to raise questions.

"Are you saying that some god-like being spends all his time holed up in a bookstore, and the Night Watchers not only remain indifferent, but even have a close relationship with him?"

Before Fu Qian could respond, Jiang En, not wanting to be outdone, decisively followed suit.

As expected of the one among the Twin Heroes who prefers to use his brain, every word he uttered hit the nail on the head and was full of skepticism.

It's one thing for the shadow of the King of Abandoned Prisons to loom over the capital, but it's another for the King of Abandoned Prisons to personally loom over the capital.
That's just absurd no matter how you look at it.

Even if someone is willing to imagine themselves as the protagonist of the world, a god-like being who can walk directly through the world, they still need to be roundabout when scheming against themselves. They are still too self-righteous.

The two young people are clearly not that narcissistic.

Not to mention a character like this, who even seems to have a good relationship with the Night Watchers.

The fact that the top official in the capital not only maintained close ties with him but also openly revealed this fact, appearing together at a banquet, is hard to believe.

Fu Qian agrees with Jiang En's criticism, and this shows that Jiang En has indeed emerged from her slump.

Although she has officially severed ties with her original family, the fact that she knew exactly which bookstore she was referring to without even needing confirmation is enough to prove that Jiang En's information channels are slowly being restored.

It's no surprise that the behavior of Chief Yuan and himself at the banquet where they last met Gan Baobao spread throughout the high-end circles of Beijing.

It's a pity that he was ultimately limited by his perspective. He didn't realize that for some people, being extraordinary isn't everything, and that navigating the ups and downs of the business world is also part of their ambition.

"Yes, that's what I said. He's even a professor at the academy."

While inwardly marveling at the situation, Fu Qian continued to make outrageous statements.

It's okay if you disagree. The point of speaking up was to correct the plot and remind the two of the key points they should focus on, so just keep throwing out the bombshells.

In addition, the two of them have actually cooperated very well. No matter how much they question, they are genuinely addressing the issue, not the person.

Their attention was entirely focused on whether the King of Abandoned Prisons was actually called Fu Qian, and they paid no attention to who said it or what their intentions were.

……

"Academy... no wonder the name sounds so familiar, but you seem to be exaggerating a bit."

Unfortunately, no one knew about the praise he received, because after another bombshell announcement shocked him for two seconds, Taylor suddenly remembered something.

"A newly promoted demigod with a mysterious identity is indeed a good target for conspiracy theories, but for a high-ranking person to go and play games with those people from the academy? It just shows that things are getting more and more outrageous."

His subsequent statement further proved Fu Qian's previous deduction that the emergence of new demigods in public institutions was almost impossible to keep secret.

For a force like Gulad's, it'll probably appear in the family's "Daily Morning Report" in just a few days.

Taylor proved that even he still had some control over this.

But the same problem remains: a limited perspective can cause one to fail to grasp the truth even when it's right in front of them.

"Is there some kind of special cooperation between the two? Is the Night Watcher so lenient towards him because of his identity at the academy?"

On the contrary, Jiang En, having been out of touch with the world for a period of time and having encountered more psychopaths, didn't rush to refute him at that moment, but silently searched for the logic behind it. And although her guesses were partly right and partly wrong, Fu Qian didn't correct her.

"Fool, the Night Watchers would cooperate with that kind of person? Are you saying that the recent chaos in the capital was a plan by the Night Watchers in collusion with the King of Abandoned Prisons?"

The reason is simple: without being reminded, Taylor lived up to expectations and immediately started making sarcastic remarks.

Even when entangled by fate, their firepower remains high, and their continuous questioning makes Jiang En seem as if she has something wrong with her brain.

"You're the fool! Didn't you hear me say I was referring to the academy's identity? What if the Night Watchers only knew part of the story and were being used too?"

Jiang En was not one to give up easily, and immediately retorted, implying that Taylor's head was just for show.

……

To be honest, Jiang En's analysis is somewhat close to the truth.

When everyone is honest, even sworn enemies do not try to deny it.

Taylor remained silent for a moment, clearly lost in thought.

Although he was indeed a bit too straightforward, Fu Qian believed that he wouldn't be so easily persuaded.

This performance is likely related to the fact, as mentioned earlier, that the Gulad family has better access to information.

For example, Jiang En might not know, but Taylor certainly knows that the Night Watchers' attitude toward capturing the Greedy Worms is indeed somewhat ambiguous.

Doesn't that match up again?
"But this only proves that the possibility exists. Until it is truly confirmed, you are still suspected."

As expected, Taylor's attitude changed quickly. When he spoke again, although his tone was still impolite, he had already listed this as a question to be verified.

"I know I should always remain a suspect to you."

Jiang En, however, remained unmoved and even sneered and mocked.

"It's not difficult to verify. If that is His true name, it would be easier to get a response when He calls out to Him than when He is the King of the Abandoned Prison."

……

That's more like it; that's what it means to rule with bare hands.

Seeing that the two prodigies of the capital were not giving way to each other, and that he was once again ignored, Fu Qian not only had no dissatisfaction, but was even very satisfied with the development.

The current focus is on studying the essential correlation of SAN values, and I have received two very enthusiastic volunteers.

Not only are they young and energetic, but their relationship also fosters a competitive and ambitious atmosphere where they encourage and support each other.

To make good use of this, the experimental design must be carefully considered.

However, a well-designed plan is not necessarily complicated to implement, as is the case right now.

The strategy before the payment is actually very simple: enter at the right time and steer the conversation toward the true identity of the King of Abandoned Prison.

On this crucial issue, the two not only had their own positions and interests, but were also sworn enemies.

With just a little guidance, it's enough to make them argue and disagree.

Jiang En lived up to expectations and proposed a special verification method: Taylor could try to pray directly to "Fuqian" to see if there was a response—which was exactly what she wanted to know.

As the party involved, Fu Qian not only agreed but also snapped his fingers, causing Taylor's figure to disappear on the spot.
