mysterious forerunner

Chapter 360 Go back

"What's in it for me?" Astrid asked calmly.

During this period of time, she secretly learned Stanley's way of doing things, and became a little more "cunning" and not so easy to fool.

Wilkins has long been accustomed to this negotiation mode.

No matter how high-sounding what everyone says before is, it ultimately comes down to the exchange of interests.

Only at this point did the negotiations officially begin.

"If you can defeat Zhong Zhang Qingxiang and help us lower the agreed price between the Federation and China..." Wilkins held up a finger: "We will give you a 1% commission on the lowered price."

Astrid looked confused, she was still a little "immature" and had no idea how huge a fortune this was.

Wilkins cursed the country bumpkin in his heart, and then explained to Astrid in detail that if successful, Astrid would earn an additional income of more than 10 billion euros every year.

Astrid's breathing became noticeably heavier.

With 10 million, she already feels like a super rich woman.

But she was willing to go to China, and her original purpose was to find her master.

The phone number her owner left her was from China.

This time, Zhang Qingxiang gave his phone number directly instead of a secret email address, because he believed that he was already unrivaled in strength and there was no need to hide it too much.

Even if my identity is exposed, I don’t think anyone would dare to say anything!
But Zhang Qingxiang never told Astrid who he was.

Mainly because I feel there is no need to say it.

"Okay, you arrange it, I can take action at any time." Astrid agreed, and Wilkins laughed heartily.

Wilkins is full of confidence about his visit to China.

He is at level five, and compared to Zhang Qingxiang and Astrid, his strength is far inferior.

From his perspective, he couldn't tell the difference between the [Command Realm] and the [Domination Realm].

He felt powerful.

He had only heard about Zhang Qingxiang's achievements, but he had seen Astrid's abilities with his own eyes, so he naturally felt more shocked.

Then we can draw a conclusion: Astrid is more powerful!
He promised Astrid 1 percent and he would take at least 3 percent for himself.

……

After Zhang Qingxiang returned to China, he first dealt with the various accumulated official duties, and then took a tour of the 184 base.

Director Zhang was not worried at all that Hexagonal Eyes might threaten the "exclusive business" of Base 184.

Because in fact, everything you gain over there is also yours.

The monsters coming out of the hexagonal eyes are all above level seven, and Astrid is actually the only one who can deal with Europa.

To be more precise, it was Jörmungandr who was handling it.

Given Jörmungandr's personality, he wouldn't give Astrid a single hair.

All belong to the master.

You big maid, stay away from your master's property!
Zhang Qingxiang had another very important thing to do during this period. He contacted Jonathan from the Jishi Church and said, "Help me get the No. 3 file from the North American Mystery Agency."

Jonathan said respectfully: "Yes, sir."

Two days later, Jonathan asked again: "Sir, we have found the file No. 3 you mentioned, which is the highest level of confidentiality of the Mysterious Agency.

If we want to get this document, several of our senior undercover agents in the mysterious agency will be exposed."

Zhang Qingxiang said: "No matter what the cost, we must get this document!"

"I understand. I will give you this document in three days."

Zhang Qingxiang asked one more question: "Will Fan De'an be exposed as a result?"

"No," Jonathan said, "Vanderan is now under strict protection by the Mystery Agency and is basically not involved in other affairs. We just provide him with a large amount of resources so that he can concentrate on upgrading as a secret trump card against you."

"Okay, no further questions."

Jonathan did what he said, and Zhang Qingxiang got the document three days later.

At the same time, there was chaos in the mysterious North American agency. A total of one deputy director and three directors-level senior officials defected!
A large number of confidential documents from the mysterious agency were stolen.

Although most of the traitors were shot dead on the spot, the deputy director escaped with the documents and was eventually killed in a northeastern state, but the documents had already been leaked.

In order to conceal his real purpose, Jonathan stole dozens of top-secret documents.

Document No. 3 is just one of them.

This made the Mysterious Agency - now it should be called the Mysterious Bureau - very passive, as they had no idea what the target of the enemy in the dark was.

On the surface, everything seems to be normal in the mysterious bureau, but in fact, a major investigation has been launched internally.

The director concluded: There must be a large number of enemy spies hiding within our ranks!
The direct victims of this internal investigation are the Bear Country and Europe. They really have spies in the mysterious bureau, and there are quite a few of them.

The Bear Country was very upset. The stolen documents really had nothing to do with us. But we finally managed to get a nail into the mysterious bureau, and more than a dozen of them were pulled out!
Who did this? Damn it, we have to bear the wrath of the mysterious bureau.

Three Chinese spies were also arrested.

This is purely indirect damage. The intelligence personnel sent to North America by the Secret Security Bureau are not under the charge of Zhang Qingxiang. It is a completely independent department, and Zhang Qingxiang does not know who they are.

Even Zhang Qingxiang doesn't know that we really have a spy in the Secret Bureau.

Zhang Qingxiang took Document No. 3, looked through it carefully, and quickly found his target.

File No. 3 is a list of places in the world where powerful secret objects are most likely to be born, which was compiled by the Mysterious Bureau.

The related content is the mysterious bureau's covert exploration of these locations.

Eighty percent of these locations are outside North America.

This means that North Americans secretly went to other countries to dig for treasures. Once this document is disclosed, it will be another big scandal for North Americans.

Of this 80%, the most detailed data are from South America, Western Europe and their several son countries in East Asia.

Among these son countries, the most miserable one is South Korea.

The mysterious bureau directly stated in Document No. 3: Worthless!
This country is too poor. Those so-called "ancient monuments" are small and have no glorious history. It can be judged that it is basically impossible for powerful secret objects to be born there.

The solution given in the document is: give up.

Zhang Qingxiang picked out three locations from the document, two in South America and one in Japan.

In the middle and late stages of the widespread cultivation era in the previous life, each country had its own national treasure.

Of course, there are also differences in the strength of national treasures.

Many of the so-called national treasures of small countries are not even as good as the top 20 secret objects numbered after the [Gate of Prison Law].

However, the national treasures of major countries such as North America, Russia, and China truly have the power to destroy a country or even the world.

They are the nuclear weapons of the Mystery Age.

The national treasure of North America is called "Sun God".

Zhang Qingxiang remembered very clearly that this national treasure actually appeared a long time ago, but it was not obtained by the North Americans until ten years after the spiritual wave impact.

In order to obtain this national treasure, the North Americans lost a demigod and six third-level [Domination Realm] masters.

They often publicize their losses in the search for the national treasure to cover up the fact that they stole the treasure from other countries.

Other powerful people who participated in this operation later recalled that when this secret object first appeared, it only required a second-level [Domination Realm] to obtain it.

The implication is that North America missed the best opportunity and suffered heavy losses. Zhang Qingxiang finally advanced to the second level of the [Domination Realm].

The national destiny may sound illusory, but sometimes it seems to really exist.

If the North Americans had not seized the [Sun God], they would have declined during the Mystical Age.

[The Sun God] gave them half a new life.

The North American's [Sun God] is precisely the most suitable among the national treasures of various countries to enter the [Secret Realm] for combat.

But the North Americans were reluctant to give it up and held on to the [Sun God] tightly, not wanting it to be sent into the secret world battlefield.

If there had been help from the [Sun God], China's army would not have had such a hard time in the secret world in the late period of universal cultivation in the previous life.

The location of the Sun God has always been a secret.

Zhang Qingxiang only knew that the location where this secret object was born was recorded in the Mysterious Bureau's top-secret File No. 3.

The current [Sun God] is definitely not up to the level of a national treasure. Zhang Qingxiang decided to find it first and then decide whether to take it away depending on the situation.

But no matter what, we must never let this thing fall into the hands of North Americans again in this life.

Zhang Qingxiang planned to bring the little girl, Tian Mingkun and Xiong Zhenlin with him this time.

But Mr. Guo stopped him: "The higher-ups have arrested a few spies, and the spies have confessed. You are now a key surveillance target."

Catching spies is actually the Secret Security Agency's "revenge" against the North American Secret Service.

Zhang Qingxiang asked Jonathan to steal Document No. 3. The mysterious bureau launched a major purge and accidentally caught several Chinese spies.

In fact, the Secret Security Agency has already obtained information on a group of North American spies and has been treating them like fish in a pond.

This time, we captured a few people and interrogated them, and found out that these guys’ biggest mission was not to steal any secrets, but to keep an eye on Zhang Qingxiang!
If he suddenly "disappears", be sure to report it to the Mystery Bureau immediately.

Mr. Guo said, "Ye Yousheng, Tian Mingkun, Xiong Zhenlin, and you disappeared at the same time. I think North America will be looking for you all over the world."

Zhang Qingxiang felt "guilty" - they had just lost a large number of confidential documents, and then found that I had disappeared... They were 100% sure that it was me who did it.

Although his mysterious bureau can't do anything to me, it may trigger a chain reaction and affect my next plan to find the [Sun God].

Zhang Qingxiang said, "Then I'll go it alone, and Lao Tian and the others will stay behind."

"That's not enough." Mr. Guo said, "I'll arrange for someone to bring [Huan Yan] and disguise himself as you. You ask Xiaotian and the others to cooperate with you."

Tian Mingkun and others were easy to deal with, but Ye Yousheng pouted and would never cooperate.

When she appeared with her brother, she was either hugging her brother's arm or leaning on his side.

How is it possible to be so intimate with a stand-in?

Mr. Guo was also very troubled, but if Ye Yousheng refused to perform in the same frame with the stand-in, it would be easy to be exposed.

Ye Yousheng curled his lips and said, "Let the substitute go to Shi Luo."

Zhang Qingxiang felt guilty and turned his face away, not daring to look at the little girl.

But Mr. Guo thought: "This is a solution."

Shi Luo was usually very well-behaved when he was with Zhang Qingxiang.

So Zhang Qingxiang appeared in public several times, released the message "I am in the country", and then left quietly alone.

I went to Neon Country first.

The location of Neon Country recorded in Document No. 3 is in Kyoto. Zhang Qingxiang discovered an ancient vajra in an ancient building here.

This "magic weapon" is very sturdy, made of cast iron, seven feet long, as thick as a bowl, and hung in an ancient well with four thick chains.

It is only at the level of a second-level secret object and is still growing.

However, Zhang Qingxiang estimated that this thing could only reach the fifth level at most.

Obviously it was not here, but Zhang Qingxiang, in line with the principle of a thief never leaves empty-handed, "cut" off the secret object and the ancient well without hesitation and took them away.

"The foundation of this thing is actually quite good. If we place it in the outpost, it might be able to break through the limit and reach level five or above."

Anyway, we can’t leave it to Japan.

Then Zhang Qingxiang used the [Steam Engine Core] to cross the ocean and arrived at the South American continent.

This is almost the "backyard" of North Americans.

Zhang Qingxiang used the [Ball Secret Master] to transform himself into a local and walked on the dilapidated and narrow streets. He was planning how to go to the second location when a special cell phone on his body rang.

When traveling secretly, Zhang Qingxiang gave the mobile phone he often used in China to Ms. Ye Shumin for safekeeping.

My mother called and asked him rudely: "A foreign woman called you. I warn you, I will only accept people in my family calling me grandma in my life."

Zhang Qingxiang was surprised: "Foreign woman? Who is she?"

Mom: "Ask yourself, she's waiting online."

Ms. Ye Shumin put Zhang Qingxiang's phone next to her own phone, and Astrid's cheerful voice came: "Master, I'm in China!"

"Hmm?" Zhang Qingxiang frowned: "What's going on?"

"The president asked me to defeat a man named Zhang Qingxiang. It is said that he is the strongest man in China. Then he gave me a large sum of money, which I will give to the master..."

Zhang Qingxiang was so upset that he interrupted her: "Didn't the lady just now tell you who I am?"

"No."

"Have you ever thought about the possibility that I am Zhang Qingxiang?"

Astrid was stunned on the spot, and then a light bulb of wisdom suddenly lit up in her head - she figured it out!
The master is extremely powerful!

The owner is from China.

The strongest person in China is named Zhang Qingxiang...

"Uh..." Astrid was still hesitating, but Zhang Qingxiang had already shouted angrily, "Go back!"

Bang! Zhang Qingxiang hung up the phone.

Astrid had just walked out of the pier of Beijing International Airport. Her face was full of smiles one moment, but she had a sad face the next and quietly put away her cell phone.

Then, in the airport lobby, he told Wilkins without hesitation: "I quit. I want to go back."

Wilkins was enjoying the bright future after his Valkyrie defeated Zhang Qingxiang, when he was hit on the head: "Ah?"

Astrid turned and left: "I'll buy my own ticket back. I want the nearest flight..."

"Hey..." Wilkins chased after him: "If you are not satisfied with the compensation, we can talk about it again..."

"I. Won't. Do. It!" Astrid gritted her teeth, her face full of anger.

You actually want to defeat the master, you are the master's enemy!

Astrid had made up her mind: I will find a way to overthrow you when I get back!
Kick you out of your position as first vice president.

……

Zhang Qingxiang hung up the phone and suddenly realized something was wrong.

In the slums, several pairs of greedy eyes stared at him.

The cell phone he was using just now looked like a valuable item.
