After the archive is damaged, I live in another world

Black Gold Party camp.

The man with a black gold coin tattoo on his shoulder was trembling as he reported the situation to a bald man.

The bald man smiled and said, "If you can't find it, then go look for it again! The master has the 'account book' on him. If that thing falls into the hands of others, you and I will die ten thousand times and it won't be enough. Do you understand?"

"We're already looking! Captain, we found the body of the unicorn fish near Lake No. 3. Its stomach had been cut open, revealing several unidentified bodies. However, their clothing is indeed the uniform of our Black Gold Party."

Isn’t this already there?

The bald man opened his eyes and asked: "Is there the master's body?"

"This... is rotten and unrecognizable. I can't recognize it."

The bald man asked again: "Where is the box? The master's safe!"

"Nothing was found. Maybe, maybe—"

The bald man's face showed despair, and he slumped down in his chair, as if he had lost his soul. "It's over! Someone took it away!"

Chapter 43 #043 Boom!

Xu Mu parked the car in front of the Adventurer's Association. After getting out of the car, he did not move but just stood against the car.

After half an hour, an old man came hurriedly and bowed and said, "Mr. Xu, are you waiting for me?"

Xu Mu looked up.

The old man was well-dressed and elegant, holding a short staff with a dragon head in his hand. He was very graceful and it was obvious that he was not an ordinary person.

The old man continued, "I am Master Xifeng's steward, his teacher, and his confidant. Don't worry, I can be trusted!"

you……

You have many titles!

Xu Mu asked, "How did Master Xifeng and I get to know each other?"

"Regional competition, no friendship, no acquaintance!"

Xu Mu asked again: "Where do I live?"

"No. 1 Linhe Street, hey! What a great place!"

can.

It's you.

Xu Mu waved and got into the passenger seat: "Let's go somewhere where we can talk."

The old man did not hesitate, he drove all the way to——

No. 3 Linhe Street.

Ok?

The old man drove the car into the yard and said, "Mr. Xu, this is what I mean. Young Master Xifeng bought this house, and I'll be living here from now on. If you need anything, just come to me. This car has been parked in the yard, so if you need it, just drive away."

what……

Ahhh.

Xu Mu nodded: "How can I be so embarrassed? Master Xifeng is really a friend, I love you."

The old man smiled and said, "Everyone knows that Young Master Xifeng is eager to seek talented people and always treats them with courtesy. Mr. Xu, don't feel burdened. Your strength is worthy of our treatment!"

The two walked into the living room and the old man made tea himself.

After some greetings, Xu Mu learned that the old man in front of him was called "Gu Zhi Gong". At his peak, he was a level 110 great swordsman. Now he was old and his eyesight was blurry. He claimed that he was no longer as brave as he used to be.

Xu Mu looked at him and thought he was still very strong.

After changing a cup of tea, Gu Zhigong looked up and asked, "Do you have anything to tell me?"

Xu Mu took out the account book from his backpack and said, "Old man, take a look at this."

"This is--"

Gu Zhigong took the account book and took a look at it.

Another look.

His expression gradually became solemn, sweat gradually appeared on his forehead, and his face changed several times.

After a while, he slammed the table and shouted, "This is... the Black Gold Party's account book! Mr. Xu, where did you get this account book? If this is true, it can bring down seven or eight officials in the Free City! This, this-"

Gu Zhigong looked up at Xu Mu, his eyes full of horror.

He asked again: "Where did this thing come from?"

"I got it by chance."

Compared to Gu Zhigong's shock, Xu Mu remained very calm.

He asked, "What does it say? Bribe or something?"

"This is a record of bribes, every transaction clearly detailed. Names, positions, and amounts are all included! It even records some criminal activities! If this gets released, Free City will be in turmoil!"

"Oh."

Xu Mu responded simply. He said, "I have no use for this thing, so I'll give it to Master Xifeng. If he finds it troublesome, he can burn it."

Gu Zhigong's mood gradually calmed down. He closed the curtains stealthily and said, "Mr. Xu, it's wise for you to show it to me. The Black Gold Party is definitely looking for this account book. You are in a very dangerous situation now. Can you tell me the details of what happened? Perhaps I can help you solve some problems."

"..."

It's not impossible.

Xu Mu told the story bit by bit.

It took him two full hours to get back home.

……

……

Mr. Gu Zhi told Master Xifeng little by little what Xu Mu had experienced at that time.

Young Master Xifeng touched the account book and felt like he couldn't breathe!

He murmured, "What a powerful...what a powerful man! Lord Gu Zhi, what kind of organization is the Black Gold Gang? They have thousands of members, and they've been secretly engaging in illegal activities under the guise of the 'Black Gold Chamber of Commerce' for years! Captain Nanasha of the Military Police has teamed up with the Procuratorate to launch investigations into the Black Gold Chamber of Commerce several times, and each time it's been a major commotion. She's searched over and over again, but she can't find a single clue!"

"now what?"

Young Master Xifeng slowly shook his head, a hint of awe in his eyes.

"Xu Mu! Mr. Xu! He's only been in the Free City for less than a week, yet he possesses such crucial evidence! He pretended to be going on a risky adventure, but in reality, he orchestrated all of this, easily accomplishing what Captain Nanasha couldn't! The bribery ledger! It's enough to destroy the Black Gold Party and those corrupt officials along with it!"

Oh My God.

Oh My God.

Young Master Xifeng gasped for breath and shook his head repeatedly. He ignored his manners and pulled at the collar of his clothes to breathe.

He looked at the heavy rain outside the window, his tone a little weary. "Mr. Gu Zhi, I'm starting to question my ability now. Can I really control such a powerful man? I thought Mr. Xu was just going on an adventure... How shallow! I can't even imagine Mr. Xu's level!"

boom!

A loud thunder split the sky, illuminating two solemn faces in the room.

Gu Zhigong smiled bitterly and shook his head, saying, "Master, you know what? Mr. Xu tested me."

Xifeng raised an eyebrow: "Oh? How did he test you?"

"Mr. Xu pretended not to understand the ciphertext in the account book, deliberately testing my decryption ability. Fortunately, I was a spy in my youth and understood the ciphertext and codes. The Black Gold Party's methods were not too sophisticated, so I was able to see through them."

"You did a great job, a great job! Lord Gu Zhi, if Mr. Xu couldn't understand it, how would he know that this account book is so important? You did a great job, you survived Mr. Xu's test and made a great contribution!"

Gu Zhigong added, "He is also testing you, young master."

Xifeng nodded silently. "The information in the account book is too deadly. I can use it to threaten officials who have accepted bribes, and I can also blackmail the powerful Black Gold Party into doing my bidding. Mr. Xu gave me the account book as a test. He wants to see if I am righteous or evil."

boom!

Another loud thunder boomed, illuminating two pensive faces in the room.

Xifeng pondered and said, "Mr. Guzhi, do you think... Mr. Xu wants me to remain silent, or does he want me to expose the truth?"

Gu Zhigong's eyes were pure: "Young Master, follow your heart and make your own choices. If you want to control Mr. Xu, you can't pretend to be yourself - be sincere! Frank! Honest! This is the only way to win people's hearts!"

"...I detest those in power who are corrupt and idle, and I hate the Black Money Party who have nothing but sins on their hands. I want to expose them."

After long thinking.

Master Xifeng made a decision.

He stood up and said, "Let's go to the Liberty Hotel and book a romantic candlelight dinner. Spread the word that I'm pursuing Captain Nanasha, and ask her out for me when the time is right. Eradicating the Black Gold Gang and its followers requires meticulous planning, and Captain Nanasha is an indispensable helper. I'm going to make a thorough plan with Nanasha under the guise of a date!"

"Yes!"

Xifeng ordered again, "Lord Guzhi, you must not let the Black Gold Party discover Mr. Xu's whereabouts. I don't care what method you use, completely remove Mr. Xu from this matter! If Mr. Xu's life is disturbed—you must resign immediately!"

Gu Zhigong stood up straighter: "Don't worry, leave it to me!"

Xifeng finally said, "Tell Mr. Xu my action plan word for word. Captain Nanasha is a beautiful woman. Although I don't think Mr. Xu is short of women, there is a small possibility that he may have feelings for her. I can't let Mr. Xu suspect that I'm trying to steal his woman. Do you understand?"

Gu Zhigong showed some admiration: "As expected of a young master! He is truly thoughtful!"

Chapter 44 #044 I want to criticize you!

"General."

"...Elf, can you give me one cannon?"

"Okay, comrade."

It was pouring rain outside the window. In the basement, Xu Mu and Elf were playing a simple handmade chess game.

"General."

"...Elf, give me another horse."

"Okay, comrade."

It's been a few hours since I came back from next door.

After taking a bath, Xu Mu started playing with the elf.

"General."

"Elf, give me another car."

"Okay, comrade."

As the game reached the latter half, Xu Mu looked at the only veteran left on his chessboard and raised his head to the ceiling. "Elf, I want to criticize you."

The elf's voice was a little panicked: "What, what's wrong, comrade?"

"Nothing! It's not raining anymore!"

what happened?

This elf...

Is your chess skill so high?

If I had known earlier, I would have played Gobang. At least I wouldn’t have been so embarrassed by having my head shaved!

Four bottles of pure blue potion were neatly placed, that was the freshly made "Sage Time".

After drinking it, the consumption of mental power can be greatly reduced. This is a safety measure prepared for Xu Mu to avoid insufficient mental power during the Holy Spirit Duel.

In the backpack, there were twenty-four more bottles of boiling blood potion, and thirty bottles of "half-effect boiling blood" -

The boiling blood potion mixed with water will only reduce the health value by 30% to 50% and will not trigger the King Mode.

Xu Mu took into consideration that there were times when he didn't need to use his full strength, so he specially asked the elf to match it.

In addition, the profits from this adventure will be divided equally - Xu Mu will get 50%, and the other five people will share the remaining 50%.

no way.
