Now that he had confirmed there was more than one "eye" lurking behind the scenes, his next step might be to find out who those eyes represented—
For instance, meet the [Duchess] and ask why she had done this, and what she intended?
After all, he had already recorded these events in the Journal, making them a story the Journal recognized.
If he could bring it to a conclusion, he should receive a generous reward.
"Then I can't just skip town."
Putting the Journal back into his Dimensional Bag, Tang Qi changed his strategy.
"The little white pig mentioned that the [Duchess] rarely appeared in public. Even that construct eyeball was obtained through indirect means.
So how can I approach her myself...?"
Seeing that Tang Qi seemed to have sorted out his thoughts, only to sink into another round of contemplation,
Black Panther hesitated briefly, then suddenly asked:
"Hey, you just said something about 'delivering magic items right to you,' didn't you?"
"Is there a problem?"
"I don't know what you're thinking about, but if it has anything to do with that batch of magic items Little Payton acquired, I might be able to help you find some clues."
Tang Qi's interest stirred.
"How?"
"We in the Red Scarf Gang don't just pick a random target in the dungeon and attack. Before a robbery, we investigate their background, their strength, and even what they've gained in the dungeon.
After a successful robbery, we register all the seized items and collected information in the gang's [Archive].
Since you met Little Payton on the surface, he must have finished registering his haul. All we need to do is find that day's robbery report, and we can at least identify the basics about that 'fat sheep'..."
"Wait, you robbers have to write reports?"
