Chapter 259

Pardo's moral standards are already quite high among the Moth Chasing Flame.

"Daoist, right? Here, this is a reward to thank you for helping me break through my professional level." Pardo directly presented Fu Xuan with a super deluxe Star Taro Boba Milk Tea gold souvenir worth one million Credits.

"Huh? For me? No need."

"Take it."

"... Thank you." Thinking that he really needed to use the straw on this milk tea as a gold bar to repay Chen Li, Fu Xuan accepted the milk tea.

"By the way, Fu Xuan, you're the head of the Tai Bu Division, right?"

"That's right, so what?"

"Do you want to order cans in bulk?" Pardo suddenly asked.

"Um?"

"Fu Xuan, don't you think the mysterious jar is really suitable for training diviners? Since everyone in the Tai Bu Division is a diviner, wouldn't it be a good way to test their training results and professional skills by having them guess what's hidden in the jar? It can also be used to evaluate their performance."

"Hmm..." Fu Xuan suddenly felt that what Pardo said made a lot of sense.

"!!" Qingque suddenly felt a chill run down her spine.

Wait, what did I just hear?

Business skills? Assessment methods? Performance?

Pardo, you've gone too far!

"But your jar is too mysterious; even I can't tell what's inside."

"I'm quite confident about that. I can adjust the mystery level of the jar when I'm making it," Pardo assured her.

"That's something I could consider... but what should I put in the jar?" Fu Xuan was somewhat tempted.

"How about the Emperor's Jade Cards? When I was researching the market on Changle Tian Street, I thought the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame seemed very interesting, so I bought 10 sets. It just so happens that the shapes and suits of the cards in the Emperor's Jade Cards are all different. If you were to use coins to guess heads or tails, it would be easy to guess correctly by luck, but it's different when you're guessing the shapes of the Emperor's Jade Cards Tokens. There are many choices, making it much harder to guess correctly." Pardo continued to promote the tokens.

Qingque, who was listening nearby, felt that Pardo's opinion was devilish, but she had to admit that Pardo's vision was unique.

"A set of Emperor's Jade Cards 136 cards, and ten sets will contain a total of 1361 cards. Each mysterious jar Credits, for a total of 1,361,000 Credits. Since you are an acquaintance, you can take them all for 1 million Credits. This is already a rock-bottom price," Pardo said with a heavy heart.

"Didn't you buy 10 sets? Why is there an extra one?"

"Oh. This morning, after I won the grand prize using the Starsea Trove, Chen Li gave me another 50 Starstones, wanting to see what else I could draw. One of the prizes was a very ancient Emperor's Jade Cards that seemed to be made of ivory," Pardo said.

"Ivory Emperor's Jade Cards? You mean you mixed the ivory version of the Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame with 10 sets of ordinary Imperial Jade Pillar of Shame and put them into those 1,000-plus jars?" Qingque's voice suddenly became very loud.

"I haven't released it yet, but I was planning to. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"N-nothing."

"An Emperor's Jade Cards... How about this, 2 million Credits, the Tai Bu Division will buy all of your mysterious jars. As a means of assessing the Tai Bu Division's diviners. Whoever draws that antique Emperor's Jade Cards... I'll promote her and give her a raise. The extra money will be the price of the antique Emperor's Jade Cards." Seeing Qingque's unusual reaction, Fu Xuan's lips curled into a smile.

Pardo said makes sense; these mysterious jars that can prevent divination are indeed very useful to the Tai Bu Division.

Therefore, the money could be collected through the official accounts of the Tai Bu Division.

"!!" Qingque's eyes widened.

Your Great Augur, you are utterly despicable!

They actually threatened me with a promotion and a raise!

But Qingque really wanted that card...

"Remember, among those 1361 cards, there must be that antique ivory jade plaque," Fu Xuan said to Pardo.

"Okay, no problem."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

"It's a pleasure to work with you."

Fu Xuan and Pardo shook hands, reaching a pleasant agreement.

Fu Xuan was pleased, because this was indeed an excellent assessment method. It could also motivate the employees of the Tai Bu Division, especially a certain employee who was notorious for slacking off.

Moreover, the Emperor's Jade Cards made of ivory... spending 500,000 yuan to buy it is not a bad deal, after all, it is an antique.

Pardo was even happier, because the ten Emperor's Jade Cards totaled 10,000 Credits, plus the antique Emperor's Jade Cards obtained by spending a Starstones... 10,000 Credits plus a Starstones could be sold for a high price of 2 million Credits, a huge profit.

More importantly, it opened up sales channels.

"Pardo, you've really struck gold this time, remember to share some with me."

"No problem, boss, but I still want to clarify that I'm not selling the product inside the jar; I'm selling the cost of the jar's craftsmanship and technology," Pardo said loudly.

Pardo was afraid that Fu Xuan next to her would regret it.

The Emperor's Jade Cards inside the jar is worthless, but the jar itself, which even Fu Xuan couldn't discern its contents, is very valuable.

However, it is only useful for training employees of Tai Bu Division.

How could other people who want to get rich overnight by buying jars possibly care about these things?

To them, no matter how high the technical cost of your jar is, isn't it ultimately just used to smash things?

So after hearing about the work of the Tai Bu Division, Pardo had a plan in mind, which is why she bought 10 Emperor's Jade Cards.

That's called business acumen.

As for the actual cost of the jar?

It's just some soil that you can find anywhere.

After all, the jars are produced through skill, not by Pardo actually spending a long time firing them.

Pardo loves those who know their stuff, but unfortunately, there are always a few who do. And the people at Tai Bu Division can't be opening jars every day, so Pardo has to work hard to Trailblaze other channels.

This is Trailblaze!

Sooner or later, Pardo will sell the Mysterious Jar to everyone in the universe! Even to the infinite worlds!

"Here you go, the gold bar you wanted." Fu Xuan walked up to Chen Li with the super deluxe gold souvenir of Star Taro Boba Milk Tea, pulled out the straw, and said to Chen Li.

"Are you really going to give it to me?"

"Certainly."

"Even if the real purpose of this souvenir is a lifetime free access to Star Taro Boba Milk Tea?"

"When... what did you say?"

"Pardo doesn't drink milk tea, so she doesn't care about that, but the real use of this souvenir is that it allows you to enjoy Star Taro Boba Milk Tea for free for life, without having to queue, and you can pre-order any limited edition milk tea. It's valid throughout the entire galaxy."

"..." Fu Xuan was caught in a dilemma.

"So... Great Augur, do you intend to give this gold bar to me or keep it for yourself?"

"Hmph! I'll save up money to send you gold bars." In the end, Fu Xuan still chose to keep the gold straw.

The purchase of the mystery jar was made through official channels.

But giving Chen Li gold bars would require using Fu Xuan's own personal savings.

"No rush... I can wait."

"By the way, Chen Li."

"What's wrong, Your Great Augur?"

"Your yellow robe... let me take a look." Fu Xuan pointed to the golden robe that Chen Li was holding, which was made of gold thread and Alliance Omen.

"Yes." Chen Li handed the golden robe to Fu Xuan.

"This yellow robe is recognized by the Xianzhou Alliance, right? Did Jing Yuan say anything to you when he handed this robe to you?"

"Yes, it seems to say something about acting first and reporting later, or that the commander has special authority. But this rule currently only applies to the Luofu Xianzhou," Chen Li said.

Although the Miraculous Item Chen Li created, capable of suppressing the demonic Moe Ying Body Mara-Struck of the entire Xianzhou Alliance, has not yet been verified, Jing Yuan has already been healed, and the credibility of the Genius Society members is still guaranteed.

Therefore, with the consent of the Xianzhou Alliance, this outfit was given a special meaning.

It only works on the Luofu Xianzhou because only the generals of Xianzhou Luofu have benefited from it.

"And then you use this precious robe to bully me?" Fu Xuan glared at Chen Li.

"Aha..."

"But if you can lend me this yellow robe for a while, I can grant you another request... How about it?" Fu Xuan said in turn.

"What do you want from me?"

"Think for yourself. This request isn't about what I want to give you, but what you want. Do you expect me to advise you on how to use what I'm giving you?"

"Anything is fine?"

Anything is fine.

"Alright, I'll think about it carefully. Come on, Great Augur, it's getting cold, put this yellow robe on." Chen Li draped the yellow robe over Fu Xuan's shoulders.

"Sigh, that Chen Li has really caused me a lot of trouble." Fu Xuan, dressed in a yellow robe, sighed and sat in General Jing Yuan's seat, handling official business.

"...You instructed them?" Jing Yuan, who was standing to the side, turned to look at Chen Li.

"How could that be! Fu Xuan said he would lend her this yellow robe for a while, but how would I know what she would use it for?" Chen Li shook his head frantically.

Fu Xuan's actions were indeed unexpected by Chen Li.

"... Fu Qing has been corrupted by you." Jing Yuan sighed heavily.

Jing Yuan felt uneasy at the thought of Fu Xuan, dressed in a yellow robe, barging into the General's Mansion and saying something like, "Old Deng, it's time for you to step down," to him, who was sitting on the general's throne.

The original Fu Xuan wasn't like this.

It's obvious who he learned bad habits from, isn't it?

"That's absolutely impossible! It must be because you, Jing Yuan, have been putting too much pressure on Fu Xuan, that Fu Xuan had the opportunity to retaliate," Chen Li retorted.

"That's absolutely impossible!"

"To date, Jing Yuan has agreed to recommend me to succeed as general 123 times," Fu Xuan suddenly said.

"Has it happened that many times?"

"And on 121 of those occasions, I offered advice and suggestions," Fu Xuan continued.

"Fu Qing's memory is indeed excellent," Jing Yuan said, changing the subject.

"I think it's because you're getting senile, Jing Yuan, that you can't remember these things. So you really should step down temporarily. Your performance makes me wonder if the [Moe Ying Body] Miraculous Item that Chen Li created has had some inexplicable effect on you. So until the special envoy sent by the Xianzhou Alliance tests the effects of the [Moe Ying Body], I'll take over the reins," Fu Xuan continued.

"Why are you dragging me into this? Fu Xuan, you know me well. You know how effective my Miraculous Item artifacts are."

"Ahem, Fu Qing, using the power you gained by wearing the yellow robe through Moe Ying Body to make me temporarily step down on the grounds of questioning the effectiveness of Moe Ying Body, isn't that a rather perfunctory excuse?" Jing Yuan said helplessly.

Jing Yuan knew that he had been making empty promises to Fu Xuan every day, and Fu Xuan must have seen through it, but he didn't expect that when Fu Xuan had the opportunity to take power, he would be so clean and efficient.

Are you trying to use the yellow robe, which only the Luofu Xianzhou acknowledges as "acting first and reporting later, a special privilege of the commander," to temporarily remove me from my post?

Fu Qing, you're simply a genius!

"This general does not understand what you are saying."

"How about... Jing Yuan, you take this opportunity to rest for a couple of days. Perhaps Fu Xuan is using this as an excuse to let you retire temporarily because he sees how hard you've been working," Chen Li suggested.

"..." Jing Yuan felt that Chen Li's suggestion made sense.

"Moreover, I happen to have a leader of a faction here who has received the Gift of Abundance and can become an ally of the Xianzhou. He wants to learn about the Xianzhou, so you can entertain him."

"What? A leader of a force that received the Gift of Abundance? What force? What kind of blessing? When did they receive the blessing? How strong are they? I don't know anything about any Abundance People rising up in the universe recently." Jing Yuan instantly got into serious mode.

Am I out of touch? How come I didn't receive any news at all?

"Uh, his Gift of Abundance was given by me. And he is in another world, I mean a real other world."

"???" Fu Xuan, who was working, suddenly looked up.

"Chen Li, do you mean you spread the Gift of Abundance to a real other world?" Jing Yuan gasped.

Dude, you're even Abundance than the Aeon of Abundance!

The Aeon of Abundance can only wreak havoc in this one world at most, but you can spread the Gift of Abundance to other worlds.

Why are you still calling yourself the Divine Emissary of Abundance? You might as well just change your name to Little Aeon of Abundance, and no one will object.

Jing Yuan knew all too well that Abundance blessings could be good or bad.
