Under One Person: I, Jiaqian Jushi, work from nine to five.

"Hey, you little brat... how come I never noticed how thick-skinned you were before?" Lu Jin looked at Zhou Fengliu and felt that the young man's skin was indeed thick to a certain extent.

"Let me slap you once, and then I'll teach you."

“Then I’ll study it myself. Thank you very much, Senior Lu,” Zhou Fengliu said.

He stated that it was impossible for Lu Jin to slap him back, and that it was impossible for Lu Jin to slap him back in this lifetime.

"..."

Thanks to Zhang Chulan's introduction, the Tongtian Talisman eventually ended up in Zhou Fengliu's hands. To be honest, even Zhou Fengliu himself didn't expect this turn of events.

...

P.S.: Thank you to my godfather for the gift during the Great Cold and the Awakening of Insects!

Thank you all for your support, here's an extra chapter. Goodnight everyone!

Chapter 98 You want the Heavenly Scroll? Sure, but do you have any money? (First Update)

Although Zhang Chulan didn't want the Tongtian Talisman in the original novel, and Lu Jin passed it on to the second person, it was still passed on to Zhang Lingyu under the guidance of the Old Celestial Master.

How could an ordinary worker with no background compete with Master Ayu, a direct disciple of the Celestial Master, even though he came in second?

So Zhou Fengliu didn't even come over this morning, intending to sleep in, but who would have thought he'd be summoned to receive the Tongtian Talisman before he was even fully awake...

Looking at the Tongtian Talisman in his hand, Zhou Fengliu stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

...

The news that Zhou Fengliu inherited the Tongtian Talisman quickly spread. Those who had witnessed the Luotian Grand Ceremony found this result reasonable, given Zhou Fengliu's renowned reputation as a warrior god.

That night.

Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao waited for the Old Master to return with the guests.

Zhang Chulan was very nervous at this moment, and along with the nervousness came a bit of excitement at the prospect of learning the truth. Feng Baobao, who was standing next to him, was no better off.

"Really? Hmm, I understand. We'll go make the arrangements." While waiting, Xu Si received a phone call, then whispered a few words to Xu San, before glancing at Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao:

"Baby, Chu Lan, let's leave for a while..."

"it is good..."

Zhang Chulan nodded and continued to wait for the Old Celestial Master's arrival.

A slight chill in the wind made Zhang Chulan, who was wearing short sleeves, shiver. He looked up and suddenly realized that the crescent moon in the night sky had been covered by thick clouds.

On this dark and stormy night, a night destined for murder, Longhu Mountain was not going to be peaceful. Zhang Chulan looked towards the distant woods with a hint of worry in his heart.

...

at the same time.

Zhou Fengliu did not accompany Zhang Chulan to receive any Celestial Master's inheritance. He was destined to be sleepless tonight, as he had just received news that the Quanxing sect had entered the network and was on standby.

"It's so cold."

Zhou Fengliu walked through the woods with his familiar black backpack on his back. Although he was wearing the company uniform jacket, it was still a little chilly.

At this moment, he was walking towards the courtyard where Tian Jinzhong usually lived, following the coordinates provided by the "insider" Lingyu Zhenren.

As for why we went there, it was purely to maximize our profits tonight. Since we were just messing around anyway, we might as well use the information we already had to maximize our own interests.

According to the original plot, a traitor appeared in the Celestial Master's Mansion. The person seemed to be Xiao Yuzi, who had served Tian Jinzhong for three years. His identity was Gong Qing, the acting leader of Quanxing.

He had been hiding in the Celestial Master's Mansion for three years, just to get some information about the Jia Shen Rebellion and the Eight Extraordinary Skills from Tian Jinzhong. Tonight's attack on the mountain by Quanxing was orchestrated by him.

Zhou Fengliu had no connection with Tian Jinzhong, and rescuing him was just a matter of convenience.

Saving Tian Jinzhong and gaining favors from the Celestial Master's Mansion seems like a worthwhile deal, so why not?

Moreover... if he remembered correctly, once Tian Jinzhong died, the Old Celestial Master went down the mountain and started a massacre, indiscriminately preparing to wipe out the Quanxing sect. This would be a major event in both the real world and the world of supernatural beings.

The Celestial Master's descent from the mountain disrupted the balance among the supernatural beings, something that the All-Knowing Company certainly didn't want to see. As a company employee, it was his duty to defuse this potential problem beforehand, and he might even get a bonus for talking to Xu Si about it.

Zhou Fengliu stated that he absolutely did not rescue Tian Jinzhong in order to ask for a reward from his superiors; absolutely not.

He was simply upholding the professional ethics of employees at Nadutong Company.

Ok.

Thinking about this, Zhou Fengliu suddenly realized how dedicated his all-knowing employee was.

...

As for why Zhou Fengliu didn't report the Celestial Master's Mansion in advance and capture the traitor Gong Qing... that was something Zhou Fengliu hadn't considered before.

After all, he's not Zhang Chulan; he's here to get the prize money.

Putting aside this grand Luo Tian ceremony, he had absolutely no connection with the Celestial Master's Mansion, so naturally he didn't have much interest in it. Even the idea of ​​saving Tian Jinzhong only came to him after he learned that he would have to work overtime.

...

Ding--

Just as Zhou Fengliu was on his way, his phone beeped with a message. He took out his phone and saw that Xia He had sent him a message.

[You have the Heavenly Scroll in your possession, and now all the Quanxing members on the mountain are watching you. Where are you? Stay here and don't move... I'm coming to find you.]

Upon seeing this message, Zhou Fengliu frowned.

And you're telling me not to move around?

how?

Is she going to buy me an orange?

Regardless of.

Zhou Fengliu still didn't reply to Xia He's message and prepared to continue walking towards Tian Jinzhong's courtyard. He hadn't taken two steps when he heard a noise behind him.

"Young man, why don't you stay out so late at night?"

It was a male voice. Zhou Fengliu turned around and saw men, women, old and young, and several Quanxing disciples.

The old man at the head of the group was hunched over, with his hands behind his back and a string of beads in his hand. This man was Yuan Tao, a personal weapon refiner of Quanxing with ten and a half years of weapon refining experience.

"Old Deng, you were looking for me?" Zhou Fengliu said without any politeness.

Old Deng?

Hearing this address, Yuan Tao wasn't angry. He simply twirled the beads in his hand and said:

"Yes, I'm looking for you, Zhou Fengliu, right? You're the company employee who killed that old bald monk Gao Ning not long ago, aren't you?"

"What? You want revenge?"

"No, no, no." Yuan Tao shook her head:

“I’m not familiar with him, so I can’t say I’m seeking revenge. His death is just because he was less skilled. I’m here to borrow your Tongtian Record for a look and to leave a copy.”

"Don't worry, as long as you leave us a copy, we will definitely not make things difficult for you."

"They came for the Tongtian Talisman."

Zhou Fengliu wasn't too surprised, since even though he hadn't read much of the original plot, Xia He had just sent him a message reminding him.

"Old Yuan, why are you talking to him about this? Do you think he'll just give it to us willingly?" a young comrade in the group said.

Before he could finish speaking, Zhou Fengliu across from him replied, "Want the Heavenly Scroll? No problem, do you have any money?"

"?"

"money?"

Upon hearing Zhou Fengliu mention money, everyone raised an eyebrow: "What money?"

"You want the Tongtian Talisman? Do you expect to get it for free?" Zhou Fengliu said that it wasn't impossible to get the Tongtian Talisman, but there had to be enough benefits in exchange. He couldn't let anyone get something for free.

Zhou Fengliu has always adhered to the principle of double standards. He can get others to take advantage of him for free, but he can't let others take advantage of him for free. His main feature is the ultimate double standard.

The saying goes, "Double standards may bring temporary pleasure, but the pleasure of consistently applying double standards will only continue."

...

"Young man, that's really interesting. If Lu Jin knew you were using his Eight Extraordinary Techniques to make money, he'd probably die of anger..."

Yuan Tao chuckled. He clearly hadn't expected Zhou Fengliu to measure the value of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques in monetary terms.

"Since you've brought it up, young man... how much do you want?"

Chapter 99: A fierce battle ensues, the entire audience cheers! (Second update)

Hearing Yuan Tao's words, Zhou Fengliu was not in a hurry to make a price offer. At that moment, he had just thought of a problem.

These eight extraordinary skills are not very useful to him, but he could consider exchanging them for money. However, could the money obtained be considered as income from work?

If it can't be considered as income from work, then it's not worth considering.

"Well, these are the Eight Extraordinary Skills, so a regular price wouldn't be enough to show their value," Zhou Fengliu said after a pause.

"Here's what we'll do: if you're really serious about wanting it, I'll organize an auction in a while. Everyone will bid fairly, and the highest bidder will win. Just make sure you have the money ready."

Everyone laughed upon hearing Zhou Fengliu's words.
