"Huh?" Chen Quanxu, who didn't consider himself a pushover, was taken aback by this. "Didn't you just rip someone off?"
Not only did you successfully extort money, but the other party also helped you get revenge, making your mind go completely clear.
The boy glanced at him, his gaze still clear. "Since there might be a hidden danger, why not kill him?"
"You..." Scops Owl was speechless. "I thought I was already being very unreasonable."
"It'll be good for you too, so just tell me, will you help or not?"
"There's no reason not to help," Chen Quanxu replied without hesitation, "But we have some time."
"That's fast," the boy said thoughtfully, "Senior, you said that guy was no match for you at all, could it be that you..."
"Hey, show some respect!" the Scops Owl couldn't hold back any longer, flapping its wings twice. "You want me to kill him in this form?"
"I'll gather my resources and find out his background first."
"I don't mean to offend you," the boy sighed, "But the period before Little Ha comes of age is the most dangerous."
Chen Quanxu remained silent for a long time before replying, "I understand. Don't worry, within half a month!"
The man and the bird stared at each other for a while before Wu Youren finally spoke up and asked, "Out of stock?"
The other party hadn't mentioned the jade-white strange object, and he hadn't asked about it, but now he had no choice but to ask.
"We did find out," Scops Owl replied sullenly. "It should be one of the Ability User I had ambushed, who returned from the Weird Domain of Southern Park."
The spoils of war of Ability User... The young man was speechless. How insane must you have been at your peak?
"If you don't have it, that's fine." You really can't force these things. I'm not short of money, we'll take it slow.
"I'm terrible!" the Scops Owl couldn't stand it anymore. "This could affect Little Ha's development."
He didn't hesitate for a moment when he used Flawless Crystal for his experiments.
However, this doesn't mean he enjoys spending money recklessly. On the contrary, it's a way for him to save himself, and there are very few options available.
"We can't possibly go to Southern Park now, can we?" The boy scratched his head in frustration. Southern Park was almost bordering the Jin.
"I've prepared another batch of items from the Weird Domain of Southern Park," Scops Owl calmly stated. "They should arrive tonight."
The fact that he identified it as a "thing" but wasn't sure if it was a ghost shows how determined he was.
This time, it was another ferret, still with a white fur coat, but this time it only had seven items of varying sizes.
The largest one was a fist-sized rock, extremely heavy, so heavy that even a mink couldn't run fast enough to reach it; it was almost dawn when it arrived.
However, Wu Youren immediately ruled it out—it just felt like a meteorite, heavy and hard, with no other unusual features.
"I also tend to think it's extraterrestrial steel," Scops Owl said leisurely. "You'll use it when you become Great Knight."
Mr. Chen's inventory is truly overflowing with good stuff.
"Huh, this?" Wu Youren noticed a small white pouch. "It looks promising!"
The Scops Owl wasn't very comfortable with this kind of slang, but it could understand it. "This piece is only suspected to be from Southern Park..."
He stole it from someone else's house; its origin is questionable. However, he thinks the energy fluctuations are somewhat similar.
"That's right, it really works," the young man said, opening the pouch and his eyes widening in surprise. "What?!"
Inside was a bright green bead, faintly emitting a fluorescent glow, about the size of an egg, yet very light in weight.
"Very nourishing!" Wu Youren instinctively covered his face with his handbag. "Who did you steal it from?"
"That raven has been dead for many years," the Scops Owl replied helplessly, "But it wasn't anyone important."
That's strange, isn't it? At the time, he had a double-digit number of animal soldiers under his command, and they stole far too much stuff.

The reason he was able to leave this item behind, besides the strange energy emanating from it, is also because... it somewhat resembles a legendary luminous pearl.
Chen Quanxu was also certain that this was definitely not a luminous pearl.
However, he believes that his opinion is not important.
If someone thinks it might be a luminous pearl and can be sold for a high price by hyping it up, then it's definitely worth collecting.
He truly overlooked the treasure's provenance. "It must have been some minor official in some department who was investigated for corruption, and the crow went to pick up the scraps."
When Chen Quanxu plundering treasures, he was also careful about the impact, at most skirting the rules, and would never openly challenge the entire Great Liang.
"I stole from a minor official; it's normal that I can't remember, isn't it?"
The boy replied with a smile, "It's good enough if there is any. I'm not picky; you're the one in a hurry."
"But it turns out that it really does happen that a low-ranking official can be a major corrupt official."
"I didn't expect this either," Scops Owl replied sullenly, then urged him, "Hurry up and absorb it, cultivate!"
"Let me wait until dark, at least," the boy rolled his eyes. "Hmm, if you can analyze energy, then keep looking!"
"I'll wait until dark too," the Scops Owl nodded. "Don't worry, there should be more. Wait for my good news."
"Don't push yourself too hard," Wu Youren said seriously. "We have hope now; protecting ourselves is the most important thing."
After nightfall, he began to absorb the "luminous pearl." This time, the sensation was somewhat different from the soybean he had experienced before.
It turns out that not every strange creature that can enhance cultivation has the same effect.
Moreover, this time the strange object did not cause much of a commotion in the surrounding area.
Therefore, they may truly be rare and precious treasures, rather than strange objects.
During this absorption process, Wu Youren paid close attention to Little Ha the whole time, but it felt almost like he wasn't paying attention at all.
He had always thought he owed the little guy something, but this time he was certain he didn't owe him anything at all.
The experience points contained in this luminous pearl seem to be about the same as those in the Azure Qiu Cave.
But I was naive back then, but things are different now. Even if it's just chaff, I should still savor it.
Normally, two hours would be enough to fully absorb the nutrients, but there's no rush this time. Just feel and absorb them as you go.
However, as expected, another unexpected event occurred. After absorbing experience for about an hour, a huge wave of experience points suddenly surged in.
In the past, he wouldn't have paid much attention to it, since it was all experience points... well, all of which could be converted into internal energy.
As long as he can handle it, he can absorb it gradually.
But now things are different, and he subconsciously tries to discern the differences between the two.
There was definitely a difference, and it wasn't small. After hesitating for a moment, Wu Youren decided to stop absorbing the luminous pearl and seal it away.
The experience points provided by this item are not as pure as national fortune, but the absorption rate can be controlled and is not excessive.
This not only has minimal impact on the body, but can even achieve the effect of moderately nourishing the body by controlling the rhythm.
This wave of experience points lasted for quite a while, over two hours, and totaled roughly the amount of two Great Knight.
This is a unit of measurement he defined himself, like the Chinese year of Shuang and Kun, simple and easy to understand.
At Wu Youren's normal rate of absorbing experience points, it would take him about two days to fully absorb today's gains.
Currently, his internal buffer can hold roughly Great Knight, allowing him to reliably withstand this wave.
This ability was developed through his relentless self-torture, repeated cycles of healing and relapse – a story filled with tears.
He should be able to handle this wave of events at a leisurely pace.
However, experience points related to the fate of a nation often appear in batches.
After one wave, a second and third wave may soon follow...
This is consistent with the development characteristics of major events; they cannot be like occasional events, which are purely a one-off occurrence.
Therefore, he absorbed it as quickly as possible to avoid wasting it.
After absorbing for a day and two nights, only a small tail remained, but then another wave surged in, almost equivalent to half a Great Knight.
After another full day of absorbing the energy, Wu Youren finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was no longer in a hurry to absorb the remaining 20% Great Knight.
The absorption rate is fast, but the hidden injuries are showing signs of recurring. However, Little Ha seems to be in good spirits.
At midnight, the boy took out the luminous pearl, wanting to see if he could repair the hidden danger.
I've personally tested it and it works!
It just took a long time, about four or five hours -- but there's no way around it, we only have so many treasures, we have to use them sparingly.
After he completely broke free from his meditation, he was surprised to find that Little Ha had fallen into a deep sleep.
It seems like this situation... is another major surgery imminent?
Suddenly, a voice rang out. The Scops Owl, who had somehow appeared on the wall, said, "It seems... a little different?"
"I hope so too," the boy frowned, "But it feels like it's still lacking something."
"Tsk..." The Scops Owl's sharp beak twitched twice, and it raised one claw to grasp an inconspicuous brown leather pouch.
"It seems like this is the only one left. I don't know if it suits your taste."
Wu Youren didn't even bother to take it, simply shaking his head. "I don't think so."
"Look at this," Chen Quanxu was genuinely anxious, and actually flew directly to the ground and opened his skin pouch on his own.
Inside is a milky-white stalagmite, less than 20 centimeters long and 6 or 7 centimeters in diameter at the base.
The stalagmites were layered and lifelike, looking quite exquisite, but the boy still shook his head.
"A mere showpiece," the Scops Owl brandished its claws, then carefully tucked them back into its pouch. "A queen, indeed. What will she be buried with... sigh."
"Hmm?" The boy blinked. "Big brother, you're really something else! Not only do you steal, but you also raid tombs?"
Chen Quanxu guessed what he was thinking, "Wasn't there a lot of people coming and going when she was buried? That's when they did it."
"Let me take a look," Wu Youren said, feeling he couldn't disappoint the other party, so he stepped forward and weighed the bag in his hand.
Honestly, I don't feel anything about it. I'm too lazy to even open it. I guess it's like coral, a worldly treasure?
He was a little puzzled, "You can sense that there's energy inside?"
"Of course there is," the Scops Owl's round eyes widened, "But there's less now... Can't you really notice?"
The boy shook his head and put the leather bag back on the ground. "It's okay. I feel like Little Ha is almost there too. Do you think Kelvin might be?"
"I've already made arrangements for that guy," Chen Quanxu replied casually.
After a pause, he couldn't help but ask, "What do you think, should we fight another wave of Corpse Weird?"
