Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ah Long's family was not well-off, otherwise he wouldn't have started working as a security guard at such a young age.

Working as a security guard involves encountering all sorts of people, and life isn't always pleasant.

Fortunately, he maintained the enthusiasm typical of young people, did his job well, and was eventually fortunate enough to meet the greatest benefactor in his life!

Ye Chen helped him out when he was at his most difficult and confused time.

So he secretly vowed to follow Ye Chen for the rest of his life, even if it meant being his slave.

After following Ye Chen, Ye Chen not only didn't treat him like a beast of burden, but also gave him holidays every now and then.

This gave him a sense of urgency that he was not worthy of his position, so he enrolled in a mixed martial arts class and began to improve himself through self-study.

To maximize one's value.

Later, when the TCM clinic opened, he would go there to help out whenever he had free time; it was practically his only routine.

I have almost no personal leisure time; any spare time I have is spent improving myself.

Now, because of Ye Chen, he has joined a mysterious national organization, directly transcending a social class that several generations might not be able to reach.

His feelings were at their deepest at this moment.

Sometimes fate works like that; a security guard can eventually achieve a level of success that others can only dream of.

It took everyone a long time to recover from their excitement.

Dongzi looked at Lu Ye excitedly and asked, "Old Lu, now we can finally go pick out weapons, right?"

Lu Ye smiled and nodded: "Pick whatever you like, just register it in the system after you've made your choice."

"Hey, let's go, Ah Long!" Dongzi called out and ran towards the equipment room.

Upon hearing this, Ah Long, looking eager to try, followed along.

My second uncle smiled slightly and followed closely behind.

"Boss, why don't you go pick some up too? These are better than hidden weapons in an emergency, and you can fire them in quick succession!" Lu Ye said with a smile.

Ye Chen originally wanted to say that it wasn't necessary, since firearms were more useful for people with lower cultivation levels, but they were of little use to him.

In crowded places, firearms cannot be used, and in sparsely populated places, there is no need to use firearms.

He is a powerful Foundation Establishment cultivator with numerous abilities, so he doesn't need the support of firearms at all.

A few volleys of flintlock needles were more powerful and accurate than firearms.

Besides, he has several more in his storage ring, and he hasn't even touched them!

This is confidence in one's own abilities.

However, the fact that he doesn't use it doesn't prevent him from legally owning it.

So Ye Chen nodded and followed the others to the equipment room.

Dongzi used facial recognition to open the equipment room, eagerly went inside, and started picking out items.

Ye Chen looked around and finally chose a standard, portable Type 92 rifle.

Dongzi was very fond of the Type 95 rifle, but it was a bit big and not convenient to carry around.

If you carried one, you'd definitely look cool riding in an elevator or walking around, turning heads wherever you went.

People might even ask him where he bought it and request a link.

He gets invited to tea quite often, so it's too much trouble.

To keep a low profile, he ultimately had no choice but to follow Ye Chen's example and select a Type 92 rifle, along with a tactical dagger and a stun baton.

He had originally wanted to carry a protective vest, but then he thought better of it and decided to keep it simple.

Ah Long and his second uncle made the same choice; these three items were practically the optimal solution.

Buckle the tactical belt, wrap the gear around your waist, stuff your ID and underwear pockets in, and zip it up.

At that moment, they all felt like the coolest guys on the street.

At this moment, Lu Ye found Ye Chen and slowly said, "Boss, the head of the Wang family is dead!"

"Where did you get this information?" Ye Chen asked casually, without changing his expression.

"Someone within the Wang family leaked the information. The cause of death wasn't mentioned, but the person is indeed dead. The Wang family is now in chaos!" Lu Ye shook his head.

Ye Chen naturally knew that the Wang family head was dead, and that nameless master was also gone.

The internal strife within the Wang family was within his expectations.

Ye Chen nodded: "Let it be chaotic. Anyway, they've closed the door, so they can fight however they want."

Lu Ye explained, "Boss, you might not be aware, but the Wang family is backed by people from the Xuanmen sect. The Wang family is just their public tool for accumulating wealth, and the head of the Wang family is merely a front man."

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Such a large family as the Wang family, actually used as a tool for someone else to amass wealth?"

This surprised him quite a bit.

So this might be the sect behind the nameless master.

Wouldn't that mean he's taken away someone else's white gloves...?

Lu Ye nodded: "That's right. People in the Xuanmen sect also need worldly money. In fact, they need more money than anyone else. Some magical artifacts cost millions, tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. You definitely can't do without money."

Ye Chen agreed with this point.

He had attended an auction once and knew that if you wanted something good, you really had to spend money.

If you want to get something good, you either have to spend time or money; there's no third way.

As cultivators, time is precious, so spending money naturally becomes their first choice.

Therefore, they need a lot of money.

Take number 999 for example. He's a young man about the same age as Ye Chen, yet he managed to put up more than a billion to bid.

If you don't have money, you can't even get the chance to enter the auction, let alone bid.

Lu Ye continued, "The Wang family has been working for a sect called 'Ya Zi' all these years."

"Duck? There's such a thing as a sect?" Dongzi grinned.

Lu Ye nodded: "Yes, this Cliff Sect isn't particularly large, but it's not small either; it has about a dozen cultivators!"

"Normally, the death of the Wang family patriarch wouldn't have been a big deal, but two members of that sect also died within the Wang family, so that sect got involved!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Chen knew what Lu Ye wanted to say.

The fact that someone from the Xuanmen sect had intervened should have been a warning to him by Lu Ye.

A group of more than a dozen cultivators is indeed a large number, equivalent to a department of the Beidou system, and should not be underestimated.

However, Ye Chen has an alibi, so this matter can't be blamed on him!

Unexpectedly, Lu Ye continued, "The sect leader of this Cliff Sect is proficient in divination and fortune-telling, and his predictions are quite accurate."

Ye Chen was slightly taken aback. Holy crap, is that even possible?

Doesn't that mean his alibi was useless?

At least it's useless in front of others?

Even if Ye Chen produces an alibi, the other party can simply toss a coin, do some quick calculations, and determine that it was him—that's who it is...

When science meets metaphysics, even reason can't explain it.

You want them to access the surveillance footage? It's questionable whether they even know how to use surveillance cameras.

The main problem is that Ye Chen hasn't addressed it yet... and it was he who did it...

It's not uncommon for people to come knocking on your door.

Is fortune telling and divination reliable?

Is it really that mysterious?

However, since Lu Ye's words were so detailed and convincing, Ye Chen dared not be careless.
