Yang Yiyi was very efficient.
The next day, she transferred the funds to Xie Litang.
After deducting the items Chen Linling kept for herself, the total came out to over seventeen million.
Xie Litang couldn't help but sigh with emotion. "Overnight wealth."
The next instant...
*Ding-dong~
Yang Yiyi sent a message.
"Little rich girl, is there anything you need?"
Xie Litang: "..."
"Yang Yiyi, do you have any recommendations?"
"That depends on what my little rich girl needs."
"I want two sets of battle armor. Also, do you have indestructible clothes? I also need something with a tracking function—preferably something that doesn't connect to the city's internal network—and is there anything that can attract demon beasts?"
Yang Yiyi operated her device on the other end for a moment.
Soon, she sent over a shopping list.
As for the battle armor, it was still Xie Litang's preferred Crane Whisper Series, mainly because it looked good and was elegant.
The latest model could withstand most standard kinetic firearms. The market price was 2.2 million, but Yang Yiyi could get it for 2 million. In addition, she recommended a self-repairing nano under-armor.
What interested Xie Litang the most...
...was none other than the tracking item Yang Yiyi introduced: the Shadow-Seeking Butterfly.
A Gu insect naturally specialized in tracking, which could evolve into a demon beast in its later stages.
It was something an Insect Master Sequence could only nurture once in a lifetime. Generally, only Insect Masters whose potential had reached its clear ceiling would pour their heart into raising one to sell for money.
Supposedly, with just a few relevant items, the Shadow-Seeking Butterfly could dig up the corresponding person, object, or even their entire bloodline. It was a tool specifically used by large families to pull up problems by the roots.
Xie Litang typed a response: "Fifteen million, and it's only a larva?"
*Ding-dong~
"Fifteen million for a Gu insect that an Insect Master Sequence can only raise once in their life is honestly a fair price. If you didn't need it, this kind of thing would be nearly impossible to find on the market."
"Big Sales Rep Yang, that's way too expensive."
"How about this: didn't you ask me earlier if there was anything that could attract demon beasts?"
"Big Sales Rep Yang, what do those two have to do with each other?"
"I'll give you a job. You know about weasel demon beasts, right? In the Old Era, people called them Yellow Immortals."
"You want me to hunt Yellow Immortals?"
"Not hunt. The owner of the Shadow-Seeking Butterfly hunted plenty of Yellow Immortals in his youth to make money. Now that his Vitality is declining, he fears those creatures will seek revenge against his descendants, so he wants to transfer that karma."
"What's in it for me?"
"I can negotiate the Shadow-Seeking Butterfly larva down to eight million for you."
"So taking on this karma is only worth seven million off? Do I look like a fool to you? His entire family's karma is only worth seven million?"
"Miss Xie, wait a moment."
Yang Yiyi went offline for a bit.
Clearly, she went to negotiate with the other party.
Less than ten minutes later, Yang Yiyi reconnected.
"I negotiated the Shadow-Seeking Butterfly larva down to five million. It really can't go any lower. After all, if they transferred the karma to an ordinary person, a bottom-feeder's cheap life isn't worth much."
"If you take the task, it counts for a ten-million-point offset."
"And that's with me personally vouching for you."
"After receiving the Yellow Immortal karma, you must survive for at least three years."
"Otherwise..."
"...I'll have to pay ten times the penalty out of my own pocket."
Xie Litang thought for a moment and typed: "Alright, I'll take the deal."
Ding-dong.
"Great. At the latest, I'll bring everything to you by the day after tomorrow."
Xie Litang also purchased a good amount of potions. Of the seventeen-plus million she had just received, she ended up spending over twelve million right back on that woman Yang Yiyi.
She had about five million remaining.
Xie Litang kept three million for emergencies.
She gave all of the remaining two million to Chen Linling.
After all, during this operation, Chen Linling was not only her younger sister but also her teammate.
Without Chen Linling, Xie Litang definitely couldn't have stopped all four cargo trucks.
When Chen Linling heard she had a budget of two million, she froze for a moment.
"Sis, are you saying I have two million?"
"Mm-hmm, spend it however you want."
"Really however I want?"
"Yes, yes, yes, however you want. Buy clothes, cute dresses, makeup—whatever you like."
Chen Linling pouted her lips and muttered, "What's the use of those? I'm going to buy fifty bionic robots first, and spend all the rest on various materials."
Hearing this, Xie Litang immediately felt a headache coming on.
Her younger sister seemed... a bit different from other girls?
Still, since it was her sister's decision, she didn't pry any further.
Two days flashed by in an instant.
A small truck with its headlights dimmed quietly arrived in Fumu City, and a woman with a shapely figure stepped down from it.
*Click~
Yang Yiyi lit a lady's slim cigarette.
Shortly after, Xie Litang arrived at the spot and looked at her in surprise. "You smoke?"
Yang Yiyi stubbed out the cigarette butt and shrugged. "I'm in sales, so it's just for socializing. Want one?"
"I don't smoke."
"Alright, then let's get down to business."
Yang Yiyi snapped her fingers.
A middle-aged man was brought down from the vehicle. Judging by his attire, he looked like an Awakened of the Celestial Master Sequence.
The man pulled out a talisman and a piece of weasel skin, beginning to write and draw on them.
Immediately after, he burned the talisman, and a streak of red light shot toward Xie Litang.
In the dark reaches of fate...
...she felt something intertwining with her destiny.
The man lowered his voice and said, "It's done."
Yang Yiyi waved her hand, and a man dressed like a bodyguard immediately stepped forward, chambering a round.
*Bang~
The middle-aged man instantly collapsed.
Yang Yiyi sighed softly and spread her hands. "He was heavily injured to begin with, so he sold the last of his life for two million. It was voluntary, and this way, no one will leak your information."
Xie Litang merely frowned slightly, then narrowed her eyes. "What about your subordinates?"
Obviously, she was asking...
...would those subordinates sell her out?
Hearing this, Yang Yiyi could only let out a sheepish smile. "I can't make any guarantees to you, but those are the only people I have available. Please show mercy, Miss Xie."
Xie Litang narrowed her eyes. "I'm curious. You don't really act like a normal salesperson."
Yang Yiyi gestured for her men to unload the items from the truck and hand them over to the bionic robots.
She then motioned to Xie Litang, and the two walked together to a curb dozens of meters away.
Yang Yiyi sat down by the roadside.
She took a big stretch.
"I come from the Yang Family of Kyoto in the New Citadel."
"Ah, so you're a young mistress."
"Wrong. To be exact, I'm the child born after a cleaner in the Yang Family was violated by the patriarch, making me just one inconspicuous child among dozens."
"Then why did you end up in sales?"
"I didn't want an arranged marriage to some old geezer, so I was kicked out. It's not like I haven't done high-end jobs before, but as soon as I achieved any results, I was suppressed."
Yang Yiyi sighed and continued, "Later, I went into sales. Fortunately, the connections I made in those upper circles were still useful, which is why I could get those secondhand goods for you."
"Alright, enough about that old history. Besides, I need to keep up a smiling face, don't I?"
"In addition..."
"...there are a few other things I need to tell you."
Xie Litang crossed her arms over her chest and said, "What is it?"
Yang Yiyi lit another slim cigarette, took a deep drag, and said slowly, "The trouble you caused this time is no small matter. Word is that the daughter of a general-rank officer came down for field experience, only for you to treat her like trash on the side of the road and kill her."
"The people from the Department of Military Affairs..."
"...won't openly seek personal revenge."
"However, if they come here to carry out missions or conduct special training in Jianghai City, it's procedurally legal and legitimate."
"I mean, you get what I'm saying, right? The Ye Family's ten-million bounty, the peacekeeper bureau's special operations unit, and the Department of Military Affairs' special training here."
"Surveillance satellites might even be locked onto this area, scanning twenty-four hours a day."
"Sister..."
"...your situation is really looking bad."
Was her situation looking bad?
Why didn't Xie Litang feel that way at all?
