Star Iron: Imaginary numbers? Dude, I play with quantum reconstruction.

"For example, after getting a data plan, you become 'tied down' by your phone."

Walter: ......

He looked at Qiong, "You child... sigh, I definitely won't fall for it next time."

Xing patted Walter on the shoulder, "Uncle Yang, let's forget about the class. One of us got scammed, and the other is learning to trade stocks. We're both in the same boat."

"This...it seems I'm not up to the role of teacher. I'll talk to Himeko and ask her to take over."

"Wait, there's a second level? Can that phone be revived?"

Qiong shook her head slightly, "Even if you revive, it's useless. If Sister Himeko doesn't sign up, you're out of luck."

Tanuki Magazine —

"A Star Core Hunter? What's she doing here?"

Jingyuan frowned upstairs, looking at Silver Wolf who walked into the magazine office with a puzzled expression.

Silver Wolf pushed open the door to the second floor and saw Undying Path sitting at his desk in the magazine office eating pork trotter rice.

"Uh...we're having breakfast at 6? Which one of you is the immortal detective?"

Silver Wolf focused her gaze on Undying Path, since when she opened the door, this was the only human she could see.

The light in Puli Ce's eyes disappeared. "Detective, they're looking for you."

It left the magazine office, closing the door behind it, just in case it encountered another demonic lightning strike; it wasn't ready to die yet.

"Work's here? Old Bai, stop eating your bananas for now."

"Detective, please wipe your greasy mouth with a tissue. It will make a good impression on our new guest."

Even after becoming wealthy, Bu Si Tu still maintains his passion for work.

Silver Wolf had a bad feeling. "Good impression? From the moment I pushed open the door on the second floor of the magazine office, I could smell a sad scent."

"Uh... it is a bit rudimentary."

"Miss, what would you like us to investigate?"

"I lost something."

What is it?

Silver Wolf sighed, "I've lost face, and with it, the mask that I was supposed to have."

"Oh, you want to join the game?"

At this moment, a cloud of doubt rose in the detective's mind—who exactly is she? Is she a reclusive powerhouse? Why does she need a mask? Is it because of her faith in her own star god that she needs to use the mask to fight against the fanatical followers of the Dragon Emperor?

"Old Bai, you're overthinking it."

"Uh, didn't you say that you should use a technique of building up to a climax? You said that this would make the client feel that the money they spent was worthwhile."

"Old Bai, how could you say that in front of our guests?"

Silver Wolf's ominous premonition came true. "Uh... I'm starting to doubt your professionalism. Were you two doing Xianzhou crosstalk before?"

Chapter 731 Black-on-Black

"Don't worry, we are professionals."

"A name suddenly popped into the detective's empty mind. This seemingly unremarkable girl was actually a terrorist ranked among the top ten on the company's wanted list, the Star Core Hunter—"

"Illusion!"

"No, what's Huanlong? You've got the wrong channel! That's the Great Lord of Annihilation! I'm talking about the Star Core Hunter! Mr. Undying Path, you've got food poisoning from eating pork trotters!"

"Oh... Star Core Hunter... Oh oh oh, uh... it must be—Kafka!"

"Even the cucumber salad they served is poisonous? It's Silver Wolf! She's Silver Wolf! Mr. Undying Path, don't order pork leg rice next time, or you'll turn from Mr. Undying Path into a real live pig!"

Silver Wolf confirmed that these were indeed two idiots. "You two... I suddenly feel that you two probably don't have the ability. I'd better find another company."

Undying Path improvised, giving the narrator a light kick. "Hey, Miss Silver Wolf. Don't you know you're in a place of pleasure? This is just an impromptu performance to blend in with the local humor. Could you give our performance a good review?"

Silver Wolf was speechless. They actually used that kind of excuse! "What exactly is your firm's main business? Did I come to the wrong place?"

"Also, it's not funny to pretend to be stupid."

"Okay, let's get straight to the point. You've lost face, and you still have a mask to wear... What was the cause, the outcome, and the sequence of events?"

"Yesterday was supposed to be the day to meet with the Gongyuan Gang... but when I arrived at the location, all I saw were wreckage everywhere and the Gongyuan Gang building with a huge hole in it. There wasn't a single person inside."

Undying thought it was too simple. He had just received a message from Evil Water yesterday, saying that his subordinates had blindly provoked the Ferocious Tiger and Emperor of the Immortal Boat. The leader ordered all members to go back to their homes, stay in inns if they didn't have homes, and return after the game ended and the storm had passed.

Evil Water also transferred 40 credits to him, asking him to repair the building's walls and doors. He planned to go and fix them at noon today.

"Oh, simple, let's talk about the commission fee."

Silver Wolf felt he'd been tricked by a con artist; the file might even be fake. "Simple? What's so simple about it? You really can find the mask?"

"We might not be able to find the mask, but we can find the person who took it. Of course, I have to tell you beforehand that once the mask is worn, it's bound to the soul, so finding it won't help," Undying Path threw out a disclaimer.

"While he's asleep, I'll be in charge of gathering intelligence. We already have a general understanding of the situation regarding the series of unnatural events that occurred in Pigeon River District yesterday, and why the place where the people who ran the business were abandoned," the narrator said, tossing out the bargaining chip.

(Azure/Moon Shadow: Children, don't forget the illusion of dreams.)

"Alright, finding the person is fine. Money is no problem. By the way, do you take bribes?"

The narrator solemnly stated, "We won't accept it. The risk of recovering it is too high, and the damage to our reputation outweighs any short-term gains."

"How about you capture me and exchange me for the bounty?"

Undying smirked. "No problem. Black money? We can take it, it'll just be a bit pricey."

"That's not a problem, how much do you need?"

"3000 million."

Silver Wolf: ?

"No way, you guys are so greedy! Are you ripping me off? I have to go into the company 60 times to get that much money back!"

"Huh? Is it shady? My friend's friend's daughter recently made a lot of money in interstellar trading. She tipped a streamer 3000 billion. I'm thinking of changing careers recently and plan to re-enter the live streaming industry in a couple of days."

Given how distant this relationship is, Silver Wolf has a feeling that the detective knows her identity and wants to use her abilities to make money.

"Does this friend of your friend's daughter even exist? Won't she get a spanking from your friend of your friend? Detective, are you sure you can handle this money? If you dare to take it, I dare to mess with you."

"If you dare to mess with me, I dare to take advantage of you." The Undying Path's main principle is to accept all comers. It's all about black people eating black people. If you dare to take dirty money, you should be prepared to be scammed.

Moreover, he had no intention of scamming anyone. He would call Evil Water later to ask if Jing Yuan and Ji Feng would go to Gongyuan to help steal the mask, and he even mentioned his nickname.

"Okay, I'll try my best these next couple of days."

A doubt arose in Undying Path's mind. Was he asking for too little? The other party's bottom line was lower than he had thought. If they could accept 3000 billion, it meant they could negotiate 4000 billion. If they could negotiate 4000 billion, it meant 5000 billion was possible. And if 5000 billion was possible, it implied that 6000 billion was their bottom line.

The narrator looked at the silver wolf and said, "I'll contact you if anything happens, Miss Hacker. You can wait for good news."

......

"Detective, are you really sure you can handle this dirty money?"

"Old Bai, I can't eat it, but someone else can. That Tian Lei can definitely eat it."

Undying Path clearly sensed the listening device Silver Wolf had dropped, so he prepared to spout nonsense.

"Heavenly lightning? You mean...?"

Undying gave the narrator a look; after spending so much time together, you can tell what the other person is thinking with just a glance.

"Is that you, sir?"

"Yes, it's that Lord Tianlei."

"Old Bai, Old Bai, that Lord Tianlei will definitely... Oops, don't litter with your banana peel!"

Immortal felt he had done enough, so he threw himself into the shadows and used his elbow to scrape off the listening device and crush it.

......

Silver Wolf at the corner downstairs: ?

"The sound stopped? Who is Tianlei? That lord? I'm starting to regret this decision."

"Sigh...where did that Immortal Dragon Emperor come from? He's made a mess of this place and even declared war on the Star God...and he's still fighting Jing Yuan without a clear winner."

Silver Wolf answered the call through the headset.

"Hey, Ren, where are you?"

"The mask has been found?"

"No, that detective wants 3000 billion credits, I'll have to work hard."

"3000 billion?" Ren paused, seemingly surprised that his old friend could be so greedy.

"Yes, there are no discounts at all. Don't worry, that's not a problem."

"Okay. Promise me you won't use the title 'Number One Assassin of Immortal Ship' to take jobs online again, okay?"

"Would you mind revealing the script that Elio gave you?"

"A blank page."

......

Jingyuan stood on the rooftop and heard everything clearly.

“Mr. Lamancha...you know...I’m not going to help you deal with the Star Core Hunter’s dirty money. If it were a few million, I might cover it up for you, but 3000 billion...you think too highly of me. I don’t want to give the company any cause for criticism.”

"And Blade... what's he doing here? A completely blank script..."

Jingyuan saw the silver wolf walk away and climbed in through the second-floor window.

“Mr. Demon God, I never said I would help you deal with dirty money.”

"Jingyuan, did you hear everything?"

"I heard that, but... you even take on cases involving wanted criminals?"

The narrator explained from the side: "Those who come are guests, of course, guests of customers."
