Qin San was genuinely pissed off.
As the second-in-command of the Gray Crow Agency, she knew better than anyone just how valuable ten intelligence reports were!
In her opinion, Ye Ya was being far too generous.
If it were up to her, one report would have been enough.
Lu Xingyuan, who clearly didn't know any better, would have jumped at the offer!
Why was she so sure he didn't know any better?
Because everyone else, including Sky-Shaking Thunder, bought intelligence from the Gray Crow Agency.
Lu Xingyuan alone had never done so.
What did that tell her?
That he had no idea he could learn about a platform in advance.
Every time he explored one, he charged straight in blind.
It cost him time and effort, exposed him to greater danger, and brought him fewer rewards.
The truly smart ones had started working with the agency long ago, gaining the most for the least cost.
Meanwhile, Lu Xingyuan was still toiling away on his own, oblivious to how much things had changed!
"Once he gets a taste of platform intelligence, he'll be hooked."
A smug sneer appeared on Qin San's lips.
"When that happens, he'll come begging us to work with him."
This wasn't blind confidence. She had seen it happen before.
Plenty of Train Conductors who had once looked down on them had become loyal customers after trying their service.
Every one of them regretted not discovering the Gray Crow Agency sooner. How had they endured those miserable days before?
Lu Xingyuan would be no exception.
But to her surprise, Lu Xingyuan turned them down outright.
"Ten free platform intelligence reports? Sorry, I'm really not interested."
He had caught every bit of Qin San's smug expression. What he couldn't understand was what she had to be so smug about.
