The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 133 The Clever Xingyuan

"Wake up, even if Ms. Zou had millions, she wouldn't lend it to you." Ms. Zou would probably go berserk if her own child asked for money, especially for farming.

Su Ninglong rested her chin on her hand and said, "I want to have a billionaire dad."

“Once you have it, you won’t think like that.” Lei Qingya looked up at the sky. “Can you imagine? My dad wants me to use my position to poach a few people with special abilities to audition at his company. I’m afraid a bolt from the blue will strike me dead.”

The Star Alliance is a heroic organization; if you try to trick them into doing something like this, you'll get roasted.

"Making money is not shameful." Su Ninglong even planned to wreak havoc on the entertainment industry.

After signing the contract, Suninglong only had a little over 400,000 yuan left in his pocket.

To make ends meet, she had no choice but to sell sacred artifacts.

Xingyuan is the head assistant, mainly responsible for daily life, maintaining connections, intelligence gathering, and occasionally acting as a negotiator.

Lei Qingya's main identity now is a student, but she also works part-time as a purchasing agent and a warehouse manager. Every day, she uses her divine sense to control flames and burn various things to shape them.

Each of the three had their own complicated affairs and was unable to spare the time to handle other work.

"Should I recruit another assistant to be in charge of the farming and house construction outside?" Su Ninglong asked.

Lei Qingya immediately expressed her support, "We must find someone! But the key is the candidate. They must be trustworthy, meticulous, responsible, and of excellent character..." She rattled off all the core requirements in one breath.

“Actually, there is someone who would be suitable.” Xingyuan tapped the table with his finger and pointed in the direction of the barbecue grill where the farewell party was held a few days ago. “Ge Wei fits these criteria perfectly. His serious and meticulous nature, when used to supervise the progress of the project and farming, may not be any less effective than others. On the contrary, being a passerby may not allow him to fully utilize this quality.”

Upon hearing this, Lei Qingya and Su Ninglong subconsciously exchanged a glance, both seeing a hint of realization in each other's eyes—yes, how could they have overlooked such a ready-made candidate?

After receiving a silent nod of approval from Su Ninglong.

Xingyuan did not contact Ge Wei directly, but first learned about the relevant rules and details.

According to regulations, hunters are authorized to have one or two assistants who were recruited from their mentors. These assistants are entitled to Star Alliance benefits.

However, this is the standard assistant configuration for hunters and does not cover special cases like Su Ninglong.

Xingyuan was well aware of the origin of his assistant status, which was a special case of promotion. If Ge Weiruo directly became Su Ninglong's assistant, he would not be able to enjoy any of the benefits provided by the Star Alliance after upgrading a leader to an assistant.

Without this crucial benefit guarantee, the assistant job would probably be less attractive to Ge Wei than continuing to be his mentor.

Thinking of this, Xingyuan gradually formed a workaround in his mind.

He asked Su Ninglong for her opinion, and only after receiving her clear affirmative answer did he head to the Information Department to inquire about the relevant operational matters in detail.

The staff in the information department were taken aback by Xingyuan's question, but they also felt that Xingyuan's plan was feasible.

After waiting for two days, Xingyuan learned that his plan was indeed correct, and he felt reassured.

He then contacted Ge Wei, who was registering for the next batch of freshmen mentor selection, and said, "Ge Wei, where are you? I have a job for you. In name, you are a mentor, but in reality, you are a supervisor at the newly built farm."

Ge Wei asked in confusion, "Do leaders in the Star Alliance have this kind of job?"

"I'll get straight to the point: are you interested in being Su Ninglong's mentor?"

"Aren't you her guide?"

“Have you forgotten? I’m her assistant now, no longer her guide. If you take on this guide role, your main job won’t be taking care of her daily life, but rather coordinating farming and construction affairs, as well as liaising with law enforcement.” Xingyuan pointed out the key point, “Once Su Ninglong officially becomes a hunter, you can directly become her assistant.”

Upon hearing this, Ge Wei wore a wry smile. "This... wouldn't you call this exploiting a loophole in the rules?"

"Don't worry, I've already consulted the IT department beforehand and confirmed that the entire process is completely compliant and there are no violations." Xingyuan crossed his arms, leaned relaxed against the door frame, and added sincerely, "I genuinely want to work with you. You have much more experience than me. With you as my colleague, it will be much easier for me to ask you for advice when I encounter difficult problems in the future."

"To be honest, no one could refuse the job of guiding Su Ninglong. However..."

Hearing Ge Wei hesitate, Xing Yuan said, "If you have any other concerns, please speak them out."

"Are you sure you asked Su Ninglong herself? After all, I was Xiaofeibi's mentor before, so wouldn't it be inappropriate for her to be involved?"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Su Ninglong leaned in and chimed in, "Uncle Ge, what are you hesitating for? Come and help us! If we delay any longer, I'll be so poor I won't be able to afford food!"

Seeing Su Ninglong's eager and unreserved expression on the screen, Ge Wei's signature three horizontal lines on his forehead visibly relaxed. Confirming that Su Ninglong was not opposed, he did not hesitate any longer. He immediately picked up his luggage, turned around neatly, and threw the already filled-out freshman mentor application form into the trash can.

Seeing Ge Wei leave in a hurry, a familiar staff member couldn't help but ask curiously, "Mr. Ge, didn't you just sign up for the next batch of freshmen mentor selection? Are you leaving already?"

"No need, no need to register anymore." A barely perceptible hint of joy flashed across Ge Wei's serious face. "Just now, a student said he needed a guide."

“Changing the student who leads the way is not a good choice…” The staff member paused, knowing that Ge Wei, being a veteran, certainly understood this.

Why did he take on the job? Was it because another parent offered a higher price to hire him?

Ge Wei simply explained, "This is good, I know her." Then he quickened his pace and left the allocation center in a cheerful mood.

Arriving at the school gate again, Ge Wei's steps were much lighter. The sunlight seemed to pierce through the clouds, brightening his heart; the place truly seemed to have become brighter.

As I passed the guardhouse at the entrance, a female police officer peeked out the window and asked, "Mr. Ge, why are you back? Did you leave something at the school?"

“I didn’t leave anything behind.” Ge Wei stopped, smiled, and showed his updated ID. “I’m back to be a guide.”

The policewoman carefully checked the identification information and asked with a puzzled look, "I haven't heard of any kindergarten transfer students recently. Who is Mr. Ge guiding?"

Just then, Ge Wei raised his hand and pointed inside the school gate, "My people are here."

Looking in his direction, one could see Xingyuan, Su Ninglong, and Lei Qingya standing at the door, waving and smiling in this direction.

The Star Policewoman's mind raced. The news of Xing Yuan's promotion to assistant was almost common knowledge on campus. So, wouldn't the position of mentor next to Su Ninglong be vacant?

This idea is brilliant! If she were to become a mentor, she would also like to follow Su Ninglong; it would be an extremely rare opportunity.

"Congratulations, Mr. Ge. With Su as your mentor, you're sure to have a bright future ahead of you, and a promotion and raise are just around the corner."

"Thank you for your blessing. I hope it's as you said." Ge Wei's face was beaming with joy, which he could hardly hide.

From being by the side of his most disappointing student, Phoebe, to becoming Su Ninglong's mentor, his life has been a dramatic rollercoaster of ups and downs. Before he officially accepted her as his mentor, Xingyuan explained his future work scope to him in detail.

Su Ninglong is of good character and has mature values. She already has clear goals and plans, and she is highly self-disciplined in her daily studies and training. There is no need for others to worry too much about her personal growth.

Ge Wei's job is actually not much different from that of a standard assistant; he only needs to complete the tasks assigned by Suninglong accurately and efficiently.

As they walked toward the warehouse, Xingyuan explained the mission details in detail.

After learning about the scale and level of the project that Suninglong is currently advancing, Ge Wei couldn't help but sigh deeply, "Alas, how can the gap between people be so huge?"

Suninglong has already made contact with the government and law enforcement agencies, steadily laying out his business blueprint.

On the other hand, Phoebe was still secretly plotting those underhanded schemes.

The two men are simply not on the same level in terms of their vision and methods.

If Su Ninglong had been even slightly more vengeful, Little Phoebe would probably never have appeared before her again.

It's easy to imagine how low-key and restrained Su Ninglong is in her dealings with others.

Su Ninglong sneezed. Who was cursing her?
With Ge Wei's return, a small celebration party was naturally in order.

Assistant Yu was so happy he was practically dancing with joy. It gave him a perfect excuse to leave early, and neither Yun Fei nor Assistant Liang could bring themselves to criticize him.

The reason is simple: Su Ninglong is someone who desperately needs to be won over, and any activity held around her cannot be ignored.

Taking advantage of the commotion, Assistant Yu approached Ge Wei, saying, "Ge Wei, why are you so upset?" Although she was secretly pleased to be able to take a break for a while, she deliberately put on a pained expression. "Old Ge, Old Ge, why are you so upset? You need to understand that being with this kid means you'll basically never get a holiday."

Su Ninglong retorted: "Nonsense, when I'm on vacation, they can naturally be on vacation too."

Assistant Yu smirked, "When are you going on vacation?"

Su Ninglong thought about it for a while and said, "I'm willing to get a raise."

Assistant Yu's smile faded, as if the pause button had been pressed.

Just then, a gust of wind unexpectedly arrived, precisely blowing his hair into disarray and turning his bangs into a comical middle part.

He sighed softly, "You and my boss are cut from the same cloth."

"It's better than those stingy bosses who are unwilling to raise wages or give holidays. The pie in my sky looks sweet and tempting, with unlimited potential for wealth."

Just for a little boast, Su Ninglong's smug little toe was smeared with a worm by Assistant Yu.

"Go ahead and cry, kid."

Su Ninglong sneered, picked up the insect and threw it into the fire. The flames crackled, and then a fragrant aroma of burning protein wafted over.

He grabbed a handful of salt and sprinkled it on the chicken wings that Assistant Yu had been cooking for nearly half an hour. "Come on, this salt will kill you."

Ge Wei was amused by the conversation between Assistant Yu and Su Ninglong and didn't take the vacation to heart. If he wanted a vacation, he wouldn't have chosen to be the guide.

……

As the days passed, Su Ninglong delivered a batch of sacred artifacts, a total of one hundred and twenty, which relieved her immediate crisis. She then turned her attention back to the Song family's treasures.

Su Ninglong expressed her desire for the Song family genealogy and historical stories, and within two days, Song Hu delivered a copy of the transcribed material.

Incidentally, they also gave me a research paper about Lingyin Temple.

Su Ninglong had only mentioned Lingyin to him, and he cleverly prepared all the information.

“My family has done research on this. They believe that the original purpose of creating the Spirit Hidden Artifact was not to destroy other people’s talents, but to give some non-attacking ability users the ability to fight against the Mystic Spirits.” Song Hu wanted to speak up for this sacred artifact, but unfortunately, it was used for evil purposes from the beginning, so all hunters rejected it.

"I understand." Su Ninglong also felt that Lingyin should not be used for such extreme things.

Su Ninglong put the Song family genealogy aside for now; it's more interesting to look at history in detail and savor it slowly.

Su Ninglong held the Spirit Hidden Sacred Artifact in her hand and fiddled with it.

This is a small pink badge that you can pin on your clothes.

The surface was covered with patterns, yet it felt smooth to the touch. Su Ninglong asked Funi if ​​these patterns belonged to a secret spirit.

Looking at the picture she sent, Funi replied, "Lingyin, it has the pattern of the Court of Life and Death on it."

Su Ninglong asked in confusion, "What is the Court of Life and Death?"

"One of the three Dominators. It is the weakest of the Dominators. If humanity were to defeat the Dominators one day, it would be the first to be destroyed. Its body simultaneously exhibits both new life and decay. Because it is the best pattern for converting energy, we also use it on the great shield against the Mystic Spirits. So far, the Spirit Concealment Conversion Rate is the highest. Simply by having the holder output their power to another person, paradoxical energy can be implanted, causing the enemy to devour themselves."

"Lingyin is probably the sacred artifact with the fewest side effects among those discovered so far. However, research on it has only been a short time, and the side effects may appear in the future."

Funi's reply revealed a lot of information: the Spirit Concealment technique is only effective against newly awakened children, and its conversion rate is really not good.

New life and decay, life and death, the transformation between life and death.

If the side effects jump to the future, then this ruler still has some control over time.

After synthesizing the information about Lingyin Temple, Su Ninglong stopped studying its patterns; they had given her inspiration.

If the ominous aura of the secret spirit is death, then spiritual power is life. To achieve a 100% conversion, the secret spirit must die; otherwise, it is impossible.

If spiritual energy mixed with an ominous aura were absorbed into her body, Tong Zi would have to undergo mark treatment after just one mission.

Two weapons should be turned into three, with the middle one serving as a filter to settle and eliminate ominous energy.

Su Ninglong finalized the plan, drew the general shape of the magic weapon, and had the fish-lipped robot send it to Tong Zi to ask for her opinion.

Tong Zi, who was sitting inside the starship preparing to embark on a mission, stared in astonishment at the blueprints, because there was only one item on the blueprints: a uniquely shaped cane.
