Lin Zhi shrank his hands with great restraint, restrained his impulse to take the check, and then gradually calmed down.
He shook his head at Ouyang Yao:
"This... is too much! Lin doesn't dare to accept such a big gift."
Of course I didn't dare to accept it. If I wanted the money, I should be thanking the teacher. I was just following the teacher's orders.
Ouyang Xingsheng thanked him generously for doing this errand, maybe he had some agenda?
This money is not that easy to get... Could it be that Ouyang Yao wants to win over me?
But if you want to win over me, what is the use of me, an ordinary yellow-clad person with only an orange level?
Lin Zhi's thoughts gradually became complicated again.
"You have worked hard for me, the only son of the Ouyang family, and no reward is disrespectful."
Ouyang Yao smiled at first, then turned serious and pretended to be unhappy:
"I have no other intentions. Lin Huangyi must not refuse. Isn't my son's life worth this gold dollar?"
It seemed that Ouyang Xingsheng really cared about the young master.
The meaning of this sentence is very clear. I don’t mean to do anything, I just want to thank you...
It can only be said that the Ouyang family is really rich, richer than imagined.
Seeing that Ouyang Xingsheng had already said this, and the young clerk in front of him had been bending down waiting for him to take the check... Lin Zhi's doubts slowly dissipated, and then turned into ecstasy.
Lacking funds, he is indeed one with relatively low combat power among the young underachievers in the Judgment Council.
Because of this, I often suffered from the looks of disdain from my colleagues, and several other judges' disciples always deliberately targeted me and suppressed me...
Unfortunately, there is no chance to fight back! He's so poor. All his savings can't even buy a powerful contract item, so how can he talk about anything else?
Upgrade to yellow level? It is something far away and out of reach.
As thoughts swirled in my heart, my desire for wealth took over again! and fills the entire heart.
However, his expression could not be too exaggerated, and he tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth twitching due to the gradual excitement, and then slowly and steadily took the check:
"Ouyang Xingsheng...Lin would be very grateful!"
"Whenever Lin is needed in the future, Lin Zhi will have no shirk."
The latter sentence was added after he thought quickly.
Since he has to collect so much money from the Ouyang family, even if he really does things for Ouyang Yao secretly, there is nothing wrong with him.
Lin Zhi, who has traveled all over the continent and is quite experienced, understands this most universal truth. There is no free lunch in the world.
However, money can make the mill push ghosts!
Even if Ouyang Xingsheng really wants to win over him, for the sake of these 1,250 gold yuan, he should just accept it!
The last little doubt in his heart was finally squeezed out by the gradually expanding desire for wealth, making him finally believe that the reason for this huge sum of money came more from luck - like the stuffing dropped by the Sky City. The luck of the cake.
The banknotes favored by the Iron God will definitely be scolded by the Iron God if you don’t take them!
Ouyang Yao saw him taking the banknotes and smiled heartily:
"Lin Huangyi, we are friends from the beginning."
"Yes, yes! You and the teacher are close friends, and naturally you are also Lin's friend." Lin Zhi replied hurriedly, put the check in his pocket, and then looked at Ouyang Yao.
Ouyang Xingsheng stretched out his hand to indicate the tea in front of him.
At this time, Lin Zhi was already shaken by the 1,250 gold dollars. Seeing Ouyang Xingsheng's signal, he picked up the tea cup and took a big sip as if tea was replacing wine.
Sure enough, it was a fine spring tea. It was fragrant and fragrant, and the whole person's spirit was shaken.
The young clerk next to him was very discerning and filled another glass for him.
Phew~~~~~
After drinking another cup of tea, Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief subconsciously, and then looked at Ouyang Yao again:
"It is said that Ouyang Xingsheng is the most promising frontier official in the federation to enter the central government. This time, Lin Zhi has seen your style."
"What the world says is true!"
Ouyang Yao nodded with a smile and said nothing more.
What made Lin Zhi even more reassured was that Ouyang Xingsheng didn't actually ask him to do anything, which made him even more certain that the 1,250 gold yuan was the luck bestowed by the Iron God.
Afterwards, the two discussed the current form of the Federation, the latest regulations promulgated within Pandora, and the impact of Time Saul Underwood's betrayal in a rather relaxed and friendly atmosphere...
Until there was a touch of fish belly white on the horizon, and some lazy sunlight shined through the window and onto the desk where the three of them were sitting around.
It was almost time, Ouyang Yao said he was going to leave, and then stood up and said goodbye to Lin Zhi.
It was finally over... Lin Zhi breathed a sigh of relief.
Even though he felt a little sleepy due to lack of sleep, he was very excited at this time.
Leave here, go to the bank to cash the check, and then look for the underground Source Stone trading location in Dongcheng City.
I hope that before returning to Pandora's headquarters, I can find at least one Runic Language that is suitable for my own use, preferably... the finished product of the contract item.
Lin Zhi tried his best to remain calm, said goodbye to Ouyang Xingsheng with a smile, and also stood up.
only......
At this moment, inexplicably, he suddenly felt a rush of dizziness in his brain!
This made it almost impossible for him to stand still. The feeling was so strong that he felt as if his head had been hit hard, and his body was so weak that he was about to fall.
He quickly reached out and held onto the desk in front of him, then managed to stand still.
Wait...was it caused by lack of sleep?
I haven't slept well for several days...
Or... was your heart beating faster when you were surprised by the huge sum of 1,250 gold dollars?
Or maybe there are both factors...
Several thoughts popped into Lin Zhi's mind, but he also raised his head and looked at Ouyang Xingsheng, wanting to make sure that he had not lost his composure in front of this big boss.
In his pupils... there appeared Ouyang Yao's rock-steady stance, and on the face of the governor... there was a smile that seemed to be condensed with some inexplicable flavor.
For a moment, he didn't realize what happened, but in a daze, the young clerk who had been standing behind Ouyang Xingsheng took a few steps in front of him and looked at him with a smile:
"Lin Huangyi, please tell me what you did to Master Ouyang?"
"In other words, what is the secret that can ensure the success of the contractor's upgrade!"
As soon as these two words came out, Lin Zhi's eyes immediately dilated, and his whole body felt like he was struck by lightning.
If you still can't figure out what happened at this time, wouldn't Lin Huangyi be a fool?
The other party is interested in...the huge secret that he has mastered!
Lin Zhi rolled the talisman on his body and was about to use his contract ability, but found that the young clerk was already approaching. He gently stretched out his hand and pushed him to the ground.
He wasn't very strong, but Lin Zhi couldn't bear it at this time. He was already weak enough.
It was as if the body had been hollowed out, and there was no strength left in the whole body.
What surprised him even more was that the young clerk had a look of shock on his face and his tone was quite numb:
"The method that allows contractors to safely upgrade is..."
"Use...a spirit puppet?"
"Use the rune source to catalyze a spiritual puppet of the same level, and at the same time command the soul puppet to activate the rune source... In the extreme state, the puppet will die... Then, use the soul of the soul puppet to wash the body of the person being promoted... ..."
"This will ensure that contractors will not encounter any surprises during promotion."
Oops! Lin Zhi suddenly screamed secretly.
The secret is leaked!
This person's... ability is to read minds...
After a brief moment of astonishment, the young clerk took out a hat from the "warehouse" ring on his finger.
As the symbol scrolled, the hat in Lin Zhi's eyes gradually enlarged until it blocked all his sight.
But soon...
"No success~~~"
Accompanied by a smacking sound, the young clerk holding a hat appeared in front of Lin Zhi again, murmuring:
"This amnesia is not always successful for contractors."
"It doesn't matter, come again a few times..."
His eyes went dark again. This time, Lin Zhi completely penetrated into the darkness and lost consciousness.
............
Unpredictable let out a long breath, put the civilized hat on his head, and then took off the "mask" on his face.
Turning to look at Ouyang Yao, he nodded solemnly:
"Erasing his memory from this period of time, he should...remember nothing."
At this time, Ouyang Yao, who had the same solemn look on his face, took an unpredictable look, pointed at the teacup used by Lin Zhi, and said in a rather strange tone:
"Your so-called method of combining contracted items with mind-reading abilities...is to drug them?"
Unpredictable: "Yes!"
"Anyway, we succeeded."
Ouyang Yao then nodded, speechless after all.
The two were silent for a moment, and almost simultaneously looked at Lin Huangyi, who was sleeping on the ground.
Ouyang Yao squatted back on the chair and sighed in a daze:
"I really didn't expect that the way for contractors to avoid the risks in promotion is to sacrifice a spirit puppet of the same level and sacrifice a... well, a human life."
"Using a spirit puppet to cleanse the body of a person who has been promoted, how does this work?"
"Sacrifice a spirit puppet...sacrifice a spirit puppet...I understand. When this Lin Zhi came, he did bring a little girl about ten years old with him. That girl...is a spirit puppet!"
"He said at the time that this was his companion. I didn't doubt it. After all, official contractors often bring puppet partners with them..."
Speaking of this, Ouyang Yao's tone suddenly rose a few points, and he said loudly in sudden surprise:
"That spirit puppet! That little girl! She is already dead... His soul was used to cleanse Xiao Ao's soul!"
While Ouyang Yao was surprised by this conclusion, he also felt disgusted and even terrified. He could no longer maintain his sitting position and almost subconsciously jumped up.
Looking unexpectedly, he found that the guy who pretended to be a young clerk and poisoned the tea was groping Lin Zhi's yellow robe up and down.
A check for 1,250 gold yuan... With a solemn look on his face, Muzhi skillfully took out the check from Lin Zhi's yellow robe.
Obviously, he had been deliberately paying attention to which pocket Lin Zhi put the check, otherwise he would not have been able to find the correct pocket so accurately at the first time.
Of course, these 1,250 gold dollars were for Ouyang Ao to order the Origin Stone, and the Ouyang family issued an unpredictable check.
Ouyang Yao, a veteran official in the officialdom, could control Lin Zhi Huangyi's psychological fluctuations at almost any time. This was entirely based on the situation at that time - at that time, it was necessary to disrupt Lin Zhi's mood and thus break his vigilance, so he performed impromptu performances to let Unpredictable, pretending to be a clerk, thanked Lin Huangyi.
The arrow was on the string, but it had to be fired. Unpredictable could only bite the bullet and took out the 1,250 gold dollar check that had been put in his pocket, pretending that it was the thank-you gift that Ouyang Xingsheng had prepared long ago, and gave it to Lin Huangyi... .
If something goes wrong with this check, you will have to issue a new one to me... Mozhuang cursed mmp in his heart at that time, thinking this way.
Putting the check back in his arms, Mo Zhi nodded to Ouyang Yao, groped around for several of his contract items, and discovered the girl's dress in his warehouse.
"That little puppet is wearing exactly this dress."
Ouyang Yao stared at the clothes and said in a heavy tone.
The clothes are still there, but the person is gone...
This already showed that his guess was good.
Unpredictable nodded, and regretfully put several contract items back to Lin Zhi's original place.
The few contracted items that Lin Zhi carried were basically the original words of communication and so on. They were of little value to Uncensored. Moreover, Uncensored could not take away his contracted items - wait until he wakes up to find something. Anything less would cause suspicion.
After thinking for a while, Mo Zhi replied to Ouyang Yao in a plaintive tone:
"Using spirit puppets...this is indeed a bit cruel."
The secret of the contractor's upgrade has been cracked, but this method is really surprising. It turns out to be... treating the puppets as consumables, using their lives to block the risk of the contractor's promotion.
Ouyang Yao tapped his fingers on the table:
"No wonder, the spirit puppet is called Pandora's strategic grade material... Haha, the word material... is really appropriate."
"To Pandora, the spirit puppet is not a life, it is just a tool, a tool that can be consumed at any time."
"Now, I have figured out a lot of things..."
Ouyang Yao's tone became lower and lower, but Unpredictable did not interrupt him. His inner feelings were similar to Ouyang Yao's, and he could vaguely guess what Ouyang Xingsheng said, and he understood the content of "many things" .
"Hey~~~"
Ouyang Yao let out a long sigh: "The exiled contractors captured by your Supervisory Office... What will be the final fate of those exiled contractors?"
"Also, the Punisher discovered that those who became contract-breakers after awakening, what will be their fate?"
"I now have reason to suspect that Pandora may be secretly making spirit dolls, and the raw materials for making them are...those contractors captured by you."
Unpredictable remained silent, nodded, and sat back across from Ouyang Yao.
He also...had almost the same suspicion.
Das said that the exiled contractors were imprisoned on Ayerkula Island, but they were not imprisoned in cells in the conventional sense, but were "free range" on the island's land.
The reason for being free-range may be... to allow them to compete with each other and fight each other without losing the chance to advance - they can also obtain the Origin Stone by hunting other contractors, and after passing the life-and-death test with little hope, Advance to a higher level contractor.
After all, for these exiled contractors, if they want to leave the exile, the only hope is to... become stronger, strong enough to break through Pandora's guard on the island.
At the same time, higher-level contractors...are higher-level raw materials for spiritual puppets.
The ownership rights belong to Pandora's interpretation.
And what about those contract-breakers who were admitted to Pandora after awakening?
Will Pandora build a special "welfare home" for them, use extraordinary abilities to shield them from the harm of their contract-breaking abilities, and care for these contract-breaking people to thrive?
Obviously, this is hardly optimistic...
Every contractor becomes a spiritual puppet, the raw material for "strategic materials"!
Pandora is definitely not from an orphanage...
