Before the upgrade, the puppet crystal ball had a noticeably unnatural feel to it when being manipulated. It might not be noticeable at first glance, but experienced people could definitely spot the clues upon closer inspection.

Combined with the subtle changes in 'Hu Wen's' personality during this period, it's easy to associate him with the puppet crystal ball.

However, the puppet crystal ball cannot increase a person's strength; on the contrary, it will cause a slight decrease in strength due to the disharmony, which is inconsistent with Hu Wen's sudden increase in strength.

Moreover, after He Ao upgraded his soul, the puppet crystal ball was able to descend into his main consciousness, eliminating that slight sense of disharmony.

Then He Ao turned all his attention to the 'adventure'.

Serendipity can also change one's personality. After all, it's no secret that extraordinary abilities can alter one's personality. Moreover, serendipity is something that shouldn't be questioned, as it can perfectly cover up problems.

When He Ao took the video, the masked man in the video seemed to be watching He Ao, trying to determine if He Ao was being controlled by the puppet crystal ball.

At the same time, the other person chuckled softly, "It seems the gravedigger is completely dead."

He Ao was suddenly startled.

Did my disguise go wrong?

No, not likely.

The other party is bluffing!

Old fox!

He quickly regained his composure, his expression unchanged; the other person's current tone was...

He pretended to talk to Notting, but was actually trying to trick himself.

At this point, making any expression or giving any response would be wrong; just remain calm and detached.

"Yes."

Nordin responded softly and pointed the phone at He Ao, "Boss, this is Mr. Hu Wen."

"Oh, oh, oh, Hu Wen," the boss said excitedly, seemingly only just noticing He Ao, "I heard you want to join us, it's an honor..."

How much money can you give?

He Ao remained calm and composed, and activated his super memory to remember the details of the masked man.

"How about we follow the original process, calculating based on the task, with each task costing 20 million, and additional tasks calculated separately?"

The boss said.

"thirty million."

He Ao spoke calmly.

"Can···"

But the boss hadn't finished speaking.

He Ao continued unhurriedly, "Make one move."

"this···"

The boss seemed a little hesitant.

Notting, who was standing nearby, quickly said, "Boss, the berserker died in one hit."

“Alright,” the boss looked at He Ao, “Mr. Hu Wen, it’s settled then!”

“Hmm,” He Ao ignored the two of them talking back and forth, and just nodded slowly, then said softly, “Remember to settle the ten million from last time, change the settlement method, and give it to me directly in gold.”

He Ao also doesn't remember the previous settlement method.

"it is good."

The person on the other end nodded. "If you need anything, you can contact Notting."

"it is good."

He Ao nodded.

Communication was immediately cut off.

The next step is to find this guy who's hiding in plain sight.

Nordin and Heo exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Nordin left.

One p.m,

Heo returned to the pirate ship.

He found a secluded cabin and closed the door.

-

At home in Xidu

He closed the doors and windows and sat down in front of the restaurant.

Chapter 338 The Seventh Official Dungeon (Please Subscribe, Favorite, and Monthly Subscription)

[Age 0: You were born, and your parents named you Nell]

[Age 1: You were born in Rock City, a city in the far north of the Federation, where it is covered in ice and snow for a third of the year. You are the youngest child in your family, the sixth child, with three older brothers and two older sisters.]

[Age 2: Your mother is a gentle person with long flaxen hair. She is not thin. To support you and your older brothers and sisters, she works three jobs a day. She is only at home late at night. Your fifth sister, who is two years older than you, takes care of you.]

Whenever your mother comes home late at night, she will gently stroke your forehead with her rough hands and sing you lullabies to lull you to sleep.

[Age 3: You get your first impression of your father.]

My father was a miner who worked in a mine outside the city. He only had the opportunity to take the mine's shuttle bus home on his days off each month, but he didn't always go home because the shuttle bus fare was not cheap.

You see him very rarely. He often hugs you, lifts you up, and spins you around as if you're flying. You can feel his hands are as hard as stone through your loose-fitting synthetic cotton clothes.

[Age 4: You meet your older brother, who is twelve years older than you. He attended middle school for a year, then became an apprentice at a restaurant, and later went to work in a furniture factory. He now lives in the factory dormitory and rarely comes home. He likes to pinch your cheeks and make funny faces to make you happy.]

[Age 5: You are already able to move around the house nimbly and help your older siblings with some chores. You're not very good at washing dishes, but you're improving quickly. Your second older sister graduated from middle school and went to work in a textile factory. Your third, fourth, and fifth older brothers and sisters are all in school. At lunchtime, no one is home, and your mother can't afford the kindergarten fees, so you have to take care of yourself.]

[Age 6: Before autumn, my father came back. He bought some fruit, and the whole family was very happy.]

As you eat the banana with its slightly blackened peel, you realize that it tastes much better than the banana-flavored candy your third brother brought back from school.

My older brother transferred some money back.

That autumn, you started elementary school.

[Age 7: You have excellent grades and are very well-behaved. Your teacher likes you very much.]

[Age 8: You overhear the teacher telling your mother in the hallway that it's time to pay for the supplementary learning materials the school ordered. Your mother has been behind on this payment for three months. You hear your mother meekly agree. Your third brother has been admitted to high school.]

[9 years old: Mother still hasn't paid for the tutoring courses. The electricity bill went up again last winter. All the money you saved was used for heating.]

As you and your friends pass by the principal's office, you seem to hear the principal scolding a teacher, and it seems the teacher doesn't like you as much anymore.

That winter was very cold. My mother turned off the electric stove and bought some coal to carefully burn at home.

[Age 10: Because you have one less set of supplementary courses than your classmates, your studies have gradually fallen behind and your grades have gotten worse and worse. Your teacher has stopped urging you to pay for the supplementary courses, but he also seems to have stopped paying attention to you. You feel like a transparent child.]

Your mother works very hard every day, and you don't want to bother her anymore. Your fourth brother got into high school, but he...

You gave up and became an apprentice at a restaurant; you no longer wanted to study.

My fifth sister got into a good middle school and received a scholarship from a private foundation.

[11 years old: Your grades are getting worse and worse, and you've reached the bottom of the class. Your third brother seems to have noticed your problem, and he talked to you all night.]

Your third brother is about to take his high school graduation exams, but he still spends a lot of time tutoring you every weekend, and your grades are gradually recovering.

My third brother got into university. He originally had the opportunity to go to a better university in the south, but after arguing with his parents, he insisted on staying in Rock City and attending the Rock City Mining Institute.

[Age 12: You are in middle school. You can't afford any tutoring courses, so you study hard. Your school is a church-run charity school. The school has very low fees, but there are many rules and regulations.]

You also received a scholarship from your fifth sister's foundation.

[Age 13: You met Fourth Brother on your way to school. He had joined a gang. He told you not to tell your parents and bought you an ice cream. That was the first time you had ever eaten ice cream.]

Fifth Sister seems to be in love. Her boyfriend is from the same high school as her, the child of a mine shareholder. Third Brother said this person is untrustworthy and warned Fifth Sister to be careful, but Fifth Sister doesn't seem to listen. She went to the same high school with that man.

[Age 14: Your grades are excellent. The priest in charge of the school likes you very much. He is a kind man. He said you will have the opportunity to go to university in the future. God is fair to everyone. He gave you a black cross pendant.]

[15 years old: You got into high school. Your mother's health is getting worse and worse. She works as a cleaner in a restaurant. It's getting harder and harder to find a job. She can't find many odd jobs anymore. Life is getting harder and harder. Your eldest brother, second sister, and fourth brother will send some money back. Your third brother works while studying.]

Of all the people, only you know that Fourth Brother is involved in a gang. You often try to persuade him, and he always just smiles and buys you some snacks. Sometimes he'll even buy you a couple of textbooks.

Life was manageable, but as you all grew up, things seemed to be getting better.

[Age 16: At the beginning of the year, my father’s mine cut wages. A group of miners protested to the conglomerate, and my father was also dragged into it. The mine arranged for a security team to suppress them, and my father died in the chaos.]

The mine only said it was a stampede, an accidental death, and they paid 10,000 yuan in compensation.

Fourth Brother was furious and went to confront the mine, after which he was never heard from again.

After graduating, the third brother worked at the mine and began investigating the matter. He was discovered by the mine and sent to prison for stealing company secrets, where he was sentenced to ten years in prison.

My mother developed depression, which, combined with years of overwork, caused her to fall ill and be bedridden.

Fifth Sister came back once, then left again, and we couldn't contact her anymore.

Second Sister grabbed a pair of scissors and was about to fight the miners, but you and Big Brother stopped her. Big Brother was the most honest; he didn't know what to do, so he just smoked one cigarette after another from night until dawn.

You visited your third brother in prison. He said we can't beat the conglomerate, and told you to take good care of your mother and not let anything happen to her.

Since then, my second sister seems to have had some mental health issues and often needs some care. She lost her job, and her ex-boyfriend broke up with her. You took my second sister in and she lived with my mother.

Time slipped by and the year drew to a close. This winter was exceptionally cold, electricity and coal bills rose again, and more and more people on the streets lost their jobs.

You dropped out of school and took an apprenticeship at a fancy restaurant.
