People are working on collapsing iron, and one concept-level capability is developed every month.

After Xueyi helped Huohuo up with her remaining left hand, she looked up at Lin Yinzhou, who had turned his back, and asked thoughtfully.

"You... perhaps you still don't know how to dispel your abilities?"

Lin Yinzhou gazed into the dark depths of the hall and replied with a hint of helplessness, "That's true. I can only use it now, not collect it."

"I understand."

Xueyi changed the subject and asked, "How long will they maintain this state?"

"Ten minutes," Lin Yinzhou replied truthfully.

"Ten minutes..."

Xueyi fell into deep thought, her gaze sweeping over the naked fox woman, the two extremely blatant golden figures, the armor and clothing scattered on the ground, and... the Hidden Moon Gourd in her own hand.

The so-called "moon-collecting gourd" is a special tool for collecting the essence of the year.

Just now, when the fox woman's body was forced out of Suiyang, she used the Hidden Moon Gourd to capture her.

Xueyi put away the Hidden Moon Gourd and looked up at Lin Yinzhou.

"Your abilities have more potential than I anticipated. Do you have any plans to join the 'Ten Kings' Bureau'?"

"Join the 'Ten Kings'?!"

Huo Huo reacted much faster than Lin Yinzhou. She couldn't help but look at Lin Yinzhou, wondering how he would answer.

"Ah~~"

Lin Yinzhou sighed deeply, his tone increasingly helpless: "Thank you for your kind words, Miss Xueyi, but... my abilities are not stable, and I'm afraid I won't be able to meet the requirements of the 'Ten Kings Division' in the future?"

"Unstable abilities?" Xueyi stared intently at Lin Yinzhou, waiting for his answer.

"I mentioned to Huo Huo before that I awakened this peculiar ability because I was affected by some unknown influence during the teleportation process. I can clearly sense that this ability is not permanent. Its essence is like ethereal clouds and smoke, and it may change into another form at any time. I don't even know what my ability will be like then."

Lin Yinzhou had foreseen this situation long before he was discharged from the hospital.

Having transmigrated to a celestial ship and gained a cheat-like advantage, he was bound to rise to prominence sooner or later. Rather than revealing clues later and arousing suspicion, it was better to openly and proactively disclose some information.

In this way, one can both dispel the doubts and curiosity of others and appropriately enhance one's value in their eyes.

"So, your abilities change from time to time?"

Xueyi summarized succinctly.

"Yes."

"I understand."

Xueyi said no more and silently waited for the [Armor Removal] effect to expire.

No one spoke, and the already cold and gloomy hall instantly fell into a deathly silence.

Huo Huo wanted to speak to ease the tension, but she didn't know what to say. After racking her brains for a while, she suddenly remembered that Lord Xueyi was still injured.

She rushed into the side hall, took out the repair tools, and temporarily reattached Lady Xueyi's right arm.

Then, he adjusted the bodies of the two golden soul-reaping envoys to ensure they could at least return to the "Ten Kings' Division" before being destroyed.

Once the [Armor Removal] period was over, Huo Huo skillfully helped the Jin soul-reaper put on a full set of armor.

At the same time, Xueyi also helped the fox girl put the blood-stained clothes back on.

"Huo Huo, I'm going back now."

"Please take care on your journey, Lord Xueyi."

"kindness."

Xueyi nodded slightly.

At this moment, Lin Yinzhou also turned around. Xueyi nodded to Lin Yinzhou in farewell, then dragged the fox girl and led the two golden soul-reaping envoys away from the main hall step by step.

"Mr. Lin, let's go too."

"it is good."

Immediately afterwards, Huo Huo and Lin Yinzhou also left the main hall.

Not long after, when the star raft returned safely, Lin Yinzhou said with great interest.

"I never imagined that, besides capturing evil spirits, you could also repair golden figures and puppets. You're truly remarkable."

Huo Huo shrank her slender neck, somewhat embarrassed, and said, "They're just some essential skills... nothing much..."

"Phew~ I was really suffocating!"

As soon as Huo Huo finished speaking, Grandpa Tail floated out from behind her.

Upon seeing Grandpa Tail, Lin Yinzhou realized why it had been so quiet all day.

It's really strange, why is this guy only coming out at this hour? Could it be because...?

"What kind of look is that?!"

With his exceptional spiritual senses, Tail-Grandpa sensed someone's thoughts in advance. He flew to Lin Yinzhou and stared at him closely.

Lin Yinzhou chuckled and said, "I'm just curious. Speaking of which, Mr. Tail, are you afraid of that Snow-Clad Judge, or... are you afraid of the gourd she's holding?"

"I'm scared?!"

Grandpa Tail's eyes widened. "You say I'm scared?! You're kidding! I'm scared of them?! I was just... just sleeping!"

"That's it..."

Lin Yinzhou looked past the old man with the tail and then at Huo Huo behind him. "Huo Huo, does your 'Ten Kings Division' have any models of those gourds that are sold to the public?"

"Huh? This... I'm not sure either... I'll ask later, maybe..."

Huo Huo, vaguely sensing something, cooperated with the situation, her eyes darting around uncertainly.

"Stop asking! There's nothing!!"

The old man with the tail looked like a cat whose tail had been guessed, and his entire "ghost fire" grew bigger.

Lin Yinzhou sighed softly, "Is that so? What a pity."

The old man with the tail rolled his eyes at Lin Yinzhou, annoyed. "You brat, are you trying to target me?"

"You're overthinking it. I was just asking."

"Tch~ Nobody would believe you. Forget it, I'm too lazy to argue with you. Hey~ I'm asking you, have you found a job to make a living on Immortal Ship yet?"

Lin Yinzhou smiled and said, "I already have a target, but I'm a little curious, Mr. Tail, why are you so concerned about my work?"

Tail-Grandpa glanced at Lin Yinzhou and said, "Shouldn't you know the answer to this better than I do?"

"I can probably guess the reason, but... Mr. Tail, are you misunderstanding me? My teeth are quite good."

"Haha! I believe you!"

Listening to their cryptic conversation, Huo Huo looked completely bewildered. She couldn't help but raise her delicate little hand and ask softly.

"Um... Mr. Lin, have you found a job yet?"

"not yet."

Lin Yinzhou explained gently, "I don't plan to work for someone else; I intend to open a 'jack-of-all-trades shop.'"

"The Yorozuya?" Huo Huo tilted her little head, looking at Lin Yinzhou with a puzzled expression.

Lin Yinzhou continued to explain: "It means accepting a commission for a fee to solve problems for others. Of course, it's within the legal and compliant scope."

He wanted to rise to prominence quickly, so he had to make good use of his "golden finger" (a special ability or advantage), but the instability of his "golden finger" meant that he couldn't do anything stable.

After much deliberation, I decided it would be better to open a "jack-of-all-trades shop".

I usually take on small jobs like walking dogs and finding cats. If I'm capable enough, I can take on a big job and make a killing.

"Won't this be tiring?" Huo Huo asked with a hint of worry.

"No, when it comes to accepting a commission, I naturally do what I'm capable of."

"I see..." Huo Huo said thoughtfully.

"By the way, Huo Huo, where do we go to handle these paperwork for opening a shop? The 'Diheng Division'?"

"Yes, the 'Earth Balance Division' oversees all affairs of the Immortal Ship. If there's anything you don't know where to go about, it's almost always under the jurisdiction of the 'Earth Balance Division.'"

"I see..." Lin Yinzhou suddenly understood.

After a moment, he said somewhat embarrassedly, "Um... I'm not very familiar with the procedures on the Immortal Ship, Huo Huo, could you please help me..."

"OK!"

Huo Huo took a deep breath, patted her budding chest, and said with feigned confidence, "Please feel free to leave it to me!"

As soon as Huo Huo finished speaking, the old man with the tail next to her said sarcastically.

"I wonder who said that just now, 'You have good teeth.' Haha! I don't believe you!"

Lin Yinzhou pretended not to hear.

Having connections in government offices makes things easier; this is a universal truth that holds true throughout history and across the world.

According to the immortal ship classics he had previously read, the current immortal ships are not yet advanced enough to be absolutely fair.

Although Huo Huo is not a member of the "Earth Balance Division", she is still part of the system. With Huo Huo accompanying him, at least he doesn't have to worry about encountering any unfair treatment.

------------------------------------

Ah~ Ticket~ The author let out a beastly cry.

Also, there will be another chapter tonight.

Volume 1: Chapter 6, A Day Trip with Huo Huo

As Lin Yinzhou had predicted, with Huo Huo's help, the entire process went extremely smoothly.

In less than three days, the business license was obtained, the shop was rented, and the name of the shop was chosen to match the local customs, with a name that had a Xianzhou style - Jieyouge (解忧阁).

It was around 12 PM on December 20th, 8099 of the Celestial Calendar.

Inside the "Pavilion of Relief from Worries," Lin Yinzhou held the over one-foot-tall statue of the "Emperor Bow Master of Fate" and solemnly placed it into the shrine.

Then, he lit three sticks of incense, held them to his eyebrows with both hands, explained the reason for the appointment of the "Emperor Bow Master," and prayed for abundant wealth for the Emperor Bow Master.

After finishing his prayer, the incense in his hand had burned down to one-third of its original length. He stepped forward and inserted the three incense sticks into the incense burner one by one, leaving a one-inch gap between each stick. In the immortal boat's parlance, this was called the harmony of heaven, earth, and humanity.

After all the procedures were completed, Lin Yinzhou stepped back and smiled at Huo Huo beside him.

"From today onwards, we are also considered believers of the Imperial Bow."

Huo Huo tightened her little face and nodded heavily.

"Would you like to stay for a meal? I'll cook it myself."

Lin Yinzhou approached Huo Huo and asked with a smile.

Huo Huo blinked, and the serious demeanor she had been trying so hard to maintain vanished without a trace, like water being released from a dam.

"Mr. Lin, can you cook?"

"I only know a few home-style dishes. Speaking of which, the cooking style in my hometown is actually quite similar to that of Xianzhou. Huo Huo, would you like to give it a try?"

Huo Huo's eyes brightened slightly, a hint of curiosity stirring within her, but then she thought about her job...

"Hmm~ Not today, I have to go back and report as soon as possible."

It is extremely difficult for "Ten Kings Division" to take leave. These days, when she is helping Mr. Lin apply for a business license, she is doing so during breaks from her missions.

Today was no different. After finishing her own tasks early, she took Mr. Lin around to buy the necessary items. Judging by the time, it was about time for her to go back and report, otherwise Lord Han Ya would be urging her.

"That's it..."

Lin Yinzhou understood Huo Huo's situation and didn't insist. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "Huo Huo, when is your next day off?"

"Days off?"

After a moment of confusion, Huo Huo quickly took out her mission logbook and carefully reviewed it.

After a moment, Huo Huo asked with a blank look, "It seems to be tomorrow?"
