"No, no, no... what you two did has nothing to do with the fine." Zhongshan waved her hands repeatedly.
"What you've done will not only sadden the person who released the animal, but it might also anger that kind and benevolent Aeon," Zhongshan prayed devoutly, her hands clasped together.
" The Aeon wouldn't bother with your petty affairs... Hmm, something doesn't seem right."
Xing turned her head awkwardly, glancing at Ye Yan.
"Who knows... The will of Heaven is unpredictable. Perhaps on some distant planet in interstellar space, it is watching us."
Zhongshan suddenly became Riddlers, but her words had no effect on Xing.
"Ahem... The members of the [ Release Gang ] are not happy to see their hard-earned merits from releasing animals go to nothing."
"How about this, you come with me to see the five philanthropists of the [ Release Gang ] and explain the situation? Oh right, it seems there are now three philanthropists..."
Xing, with her keen awareness of fraud prevention, decisively refused, asking, "What kind of new staged accident scam is this?"
"Hey~ I already said I'm not here to cause you trouble, why are you so wary? With your numbers and your skill in killing that wolf with a punch, who can do anything to you?"
"We can't fight two against one, and the situation is still on my side, can we? We're just ordinary civilians from Xianzhou. Do you expect me to take on both of you single-handedly?"
"Hmm..." Seeing Zhongshan's extremely innocent expression, and even the fact that she was about to cry, Xing felt that the motive for this scam was even more obvious.
Forget it, she's a woman who infiltrated the [ Disciples of Sanctus Medicus ], at most she'll just destroy another gang!
So... what kind of work do you do in the [ Release Gang ]?
"Release them!"
star:...
"Oh, the position? Just think of me as a mentor who introduces new people and encourages them to do good!"
"The Five Great Benevolent Men... I mean the Three Great Benevolent Men, they should be at the Alchemy Commission right now, let's go there together."
Considering the presence of Zhongshan, a stranger, they walked all the way to Alchemy Commission.
"Look, those five people in front are the five great philanthropists of the [ Release Gang ]. Let me introduce them to you..."
Zhongshan peeked out from behind the wall, lowering her voice as she prepared to introduce herself, when her chin was violently struck by Xing.
"Ouch!" she cried out in pain, rubbing her reddened chin.
"Good sister... even if I'm suspicious, I wouldn't stoop to a [Rocket Headbutt], would I? Ouch~ that hurts!"
" Screwllum?"
Xing rubbed her eyes, because she had previously encountered it at Exalting Sanctum Plaza. Even though Screwllum was disguised as Blake, she still saw through its disguise.
Ye Yan's expression underwent a subtle change. He had originally thought that the fifth person would be Fulisina, but he did not expect it to be the honest and dutiful Screwllum.
Previously, the [ Disciples of Sanctus Medicus ] contained the Screwllum, and now the [ Release Gang ] also has it.
Ye Yan frowned. Had this guy already become a dedicated side quest user?
"The woman on the far left is named Donia. She's a representative of the 'Beast Faction' of the Beast Faction Release Gang. She's passionate about releasing strong and powerful wild beasts. Those wolf cubs you killed were released by her."
Zhongshan introduced them one by one, "Then, you should have seen the woman next to you before, her name is Beina. She is a representative of the [ Conservation Faction ], which mainly releases rare and endangered small animals back into the wild."
"Next up is Hisman, he... is a representative of the [ Grass and Leaves Faction ], mainly dedicated to releasing plants." Zhongshan pointed to a brown-haired man in casual clothes.
"Yeah, that guy with the pointed blue hair is called Nannan. He's a native of Xianzhou, but he was recently expelled by the other three, just like Screwllum, whom you guys know."
"Because he was dedicated to releasing microorganisms from mineral water... the three big shots all felt that this kind of 'release' was too perfunctory, calling him a ' Fudging Faction, and ostracized him... How pitiful."
"Release... mineral water?"
Xing's lips twitched slightly. There was a reason why the three people ahead of him ostracized him. Who would release a bottle of mineral water into the wild for no reason?
"And that guy named Screwllum, guess what he released?"
"Hmm... Screwllum?"
As far as the Intellitron is concerned, it's unimaginable what it can do besides releasing mechanical parts from its body... but then you think of that amazing person who released mineral water.
Hmm, coupled with the Church staff's abstract thinking, Xing suddenly had a bad feeling.
"The answer is revealed! The same milk tea that the Screwllum Brothers and Nannan released was from an unknown, run-down teahouse!"
She was completely unaware that the moment she uttered those words, the corner of Ye Yan's mouth twitched almost imperceptibly.
"Hey, hey, hey... You can't say things like that!" Xing quickly covered Zhongshan's mouth. She could understand if she said " Immortal's Joy Tea" at the [ Sleepless Earl ] teahouse, but she specifically said "Little Broken Teahouse." How could she not know who she was talking about?!
Xing was internally ranting and raving, but then she saw Ye Yan's lips twitch even faster.
Hmm... she hates mind reading.
"There's a reason they were ostracized; one released bottled water, the other released milk tea... I can't really comment." Xingzhuan changed the subject, and as the most impartial galactic commentator in the entire universe, she couldn't find a single fault at this moment.
The flaws and shortcomings have become so numerous that they've been elevated to advantages; Nannan and Screwllum flawless!
"Wait a moment, let me explain the situation to them."
Zhongshan composed herself and began chatting with the philanthropists. When Screwllum heard the names Xing and Ye Yan, the corner of his mouth twitched extremely slightly for a moment.
After a while, she turned around and waved to Ye Yan and the other person, signaling them to come over.
Shang Ziwei Restaurant, Exalting Sanctum Plaza
In the steamy atmosphere of the restaurant, March 7th's gaze was fixed on the silver-haired elf who came to greet the guests.
Her long, flowing hair, like moonlight, was casually tied behind her neck, with a few stray strands brushing against her smooth forehead, making her Jade green eyes appear deep and lustrous.
A snow-white shirt, slightly stiffened from starching and with a slightly wide shoulder line, hugged her slender yet strong waist. She wore a matching dark knee-length skirt, the formal cut of which restrained the graceful movements that an elfin should have.
This rigid human clothing, far from diminishing the radiance of the elven form, only made the otherworldly silver hair and emerald eyes even more dazzling.
"Huh... am I seeing things? Priestess, you're still working here?"
"No, this is magic that makes people rich, magic that can earn you a lot of Credits," Fulisina stubbornly insisted with a straight face.
As expected, the [ Eternity ] Emanator remained as abstract as ever. March 7th immediately ruled out the option of her coming to experience working life, which clearly indicated that she didn't have money to pay and was being held by the shop owner.
" Teacher Ye Yan, this is one of your few [ Emanator ], you should treat your subordinates better..." March 7th muttered to himself.
Qingque sat next to March 7th and watched them chat.
Having navigated the workplace for many years and attended numerous gatherings, she knew that remaining silent was the best option at this moment; she simply needed to wait.
However... this elven waiter seems to be an [ Eternity ] Emanator, just like Ye Yan.
There's even less to worry about then; they should all be as easy to talk to as Ye Yan.
These days, Luofu is really bustling, attracting so many Emanator- level figures. Qingque has certainly broadened her horizons.
After exchanging a few polite words with March 7th, Fulisina finally looked at Qingque. What she saw shocked her; she almost dropped the menu in her hand.
She was so engrossed in chatting with March 7th that she only just started activating her [ Eternity ] detector.
This girl... her [ Eternity ] index is almost catching up with hers!!
