“Brother Yuan, do you want to think about it? If you have anything that is inconvenient or difficult to do in the future, you can contact me. If you can’t do it, there will be no charge!”
In the office on the top floor of the Genji Heavy Industries Building, Old Tang handed a handmade silver business card to Genji Sheng.
Yuan Zhisheng lowered his head and looked at the business card in his hand. The silver Spencer letters reflected the light on the business card.
The business card only has a simple name, phone number and email address. The top is the English word “Hunter” in capital letters, and the lower right corner has a line of small words “Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moon light?”, which translates to “Have you ever danced with the devil by the pale moon light?” Dancing with the devil under the pale moonlight?”
“I once watched Batman in the cinema,” Yuan Zhisheng pointed to a small line of English in the corner and asked in confusion, “Why is this sentence printed? Does it have any special meaning?”
“Don’t you think this looks cool?”
Old Tang smiled shyly.
The euphemism and politeness inherent in the Japanese people saved the life of the business card in Minamoto’s hand, preventing it from being torn into pieces and instead being turned upside down on the black walnut desk surface.
“What about Brother Yuan? Since we are all friends, I can give you a discount when you entrust me with it.”
Old Tang said seductively to Yuan Zhisheng.
“No need,” Yuan Zhisheng shook his head and said seriously, “Tang Jun does not need to give special preferential treatment to the Sheqi family because of his personal relationship with me. If we need to entrust Tang Jun to handle something, we will definitely pay corresponding remuneration.”
“You Japanese are like that, being rigid is a bit too boring,” Old Tang shrugged. “Our hunters’ fees are inherently flexible.”
“I will keep this business card. If the Sheqi family needs anything, I will contact Tang Jun.”
Although he almost couldn’t help but tear this business card into pieces a few dozen seconds ago, out of rational thinking, Yuan Zhisheng still carefully put Old Tang’s business card away.
Although whether it was long-term online contact in the group or short-term offline interaction in real life, Old Tang always exuded a dramatic aura called “unreliable”, but I have seen the battlefield after his battle with the fierce ghosts. After seeing the photos and hearing Crow and Yasha’s description of the scene, Yuan Zhisheng was 100% convinced that Old Tang was a top-notch mixed-race strongman.
As for character problems… there are not a few mixed-race people with character problems. Old Tang’s can only be considered serious at best.
It is not uncommon for Yuan Zhisheng to have more severe symptoms than Old Tang. After all, he also went to Kassel College as an exchange student, so he can be said to have a very broad vision in this regard.
Although there is no shortage of experts within the eight Sheqi families, the only ones who can rival Old Tang are probably the heads of each family.
Yuan Zhisheng had no reason to push such a master who could be hired by just spending some money or some special resources.
Even though he seems to have some personality problems.
After discussing possible future cooperation with Yuan Zhisheng, and chatting for a while, Old Tang opened the door and left.
…
Back in the hotel bedroom, Old Tang let out a long breath, lay on his back on the bed, and let out the most sincere cry and emotion from the depths of his heart.
“There’s not enough money!”
After joining the organization behind Mai Shutoku, Old Tang would regularly receive “living expenses” from the organization. He originally thought that he would not be short of money in the future, but suddenly found that there was a big money burner around him – Galaxy of pot.
As a living soul of the Galaxy Pot, Xiao Yin worked part-time as an instruction manual for this important alchemical treasure. Then she told Old Tang an extremely cruel thing – the various liquids in the Galaxy Pot were not generated out of thin air.
The liquid in the Milky Way Pot is stored inside after processing various materials. It smelts various materials inside and turns them into “holy slurry”, and then the “holy slurry” is transformed according to the user’s needs. It is a liquid with various book functions. Although it is convenient to use, it is gone after use.
There was actually some pure liquid left in the Milky Way Pot when it was taken away from the ruins by Old Tang, but it was used to melt a corpse guard made of pure blood dragon bones, and not much was left. .
According to Xiao Yin, in order to replenish the holy liquid in the Milky Way Pot, a large number of various materials need to be injected into it, including but not limited to mercury, sulfur, gold, agate, emerald, Ulan Zhenu and insect-wrapped amber.
These things have a characteristic. The expensive ones are very expensive, and the cheap ones are in great demand. Especially mercury. Although the price is low, the consumption is measured in tons… Where did he get so much mercury?
In fact, the channels are not bad, after all, he is a hunter, and these things can be obtained on the Hunter Network, but… it requires money, and a lot of money.
Old Tang made a rough estimate. If he wanted to create a holy liquid that was enough to melt a huge corpse like in the ruins, the material cost would be about 150 to 2 million US dollars.
In fact, compared to the power of these liquids, the price is not expensive at all, but Old Tang really can’t afford it.
In other words, with his savings, he couldn’t buy much materials even if he drained his family’s money.
Originally, he was a prudent hunter who paid attention to the development of the wretched, and he should not actually need too much holy liquid, but he accepted a mission, a mission to lurk into the Dragon Slayer Academy.
As luck would have it, he happens to be a dragon.
Now he just wants to fill up the Milky Way Pot completely and fill the storage space inside the Milky Way Pot with holy sap, so that he can feel a little comfort in his hanging heart.
In the upcoming mission of throwing himself into a trap, only the filled Galaxy Pot in his hand can give him a little sense of security.
So now that he was seriously short of money, he set his sights on Yuan Zhisheng.
Genji seems to be a man who is not short of money, especially since he has already inquired about Genji Heavy Industries, one of the top heavy industry groups in Japan, with assets in the hundreds of millions, so he must be very generous.
After all, the hunter website is still too low-level and cannot receive any big orders from the mixed-race world. If you can directly connect with the Sheqi Hachi family, the masters of the mixed-race world in Japan, you don’t have to worry too much about money.
…
Lu Mingfei held Su Xiaoqiang’s hand, and the two squeezed under the umbrella and walked on the sidewalk beside the road. The green belt was golden privet, and there were clusters of silver bell-like flowers among the compact and dense leaves. The destination was Tang Island Sanctuary.
In fact, they could sit in the taxi all the way to their destination, but for the teenagers and girls who are dating, the romance of a walk in the rain is obviously more important than going somewhere.
Although some unexpected “surprises” happened along the way, since they were traveling, Lu Mingfei and his party did not intend to end the trip hastily.
In order to help a certain school girl surnamed Xia who did not want to be named attack Chu Zihang, Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang simply proposed to divide into two groups, one for them as a couple, and one for Chu Zihang and Xia Mi.
In this way, not only are there two less bright light bulbs between the lovers, but there may be one more couple in the team when they go back.
The purpose of Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang’s trip was to the Yushima Cathedral located in Bunkyo District, Tokyo. It is dedicated to Confucius, so it is also called the Tokyo Confucius Temple. It is also the largest Confucius Temple in Japan.
Yushima Cathedral was founded in 1690 by Tsunayoshi, the fifth Tokugawa shogun. At that time, it was used as a place to teach and disseminate Confucianism represented by Confucius and to worship Confucius. It has been damaged and rebuilt several times in history, and it has a history of more than 300 years now. .
Due to his profound influence on the entire East Asian culture, Confucius’s status is quite high even in Japan, and there is an endless stream of people coming and going at Yushima Cathedral.
Entering the “Yanggao Gate” at the main entrance, you can see a bronze statue of Confucius.
The bronze statue is five meters high. The old man is dressed in Confucian robes, with his hands folded in front of his body, his broad sleeves and robes hanging down, and his kind eyebrows and kind eyes, giving him the air of a scholar.
Looking at the bronze statue, Lu Mingfei curled his lips.
If he hadn’t suddenly become more interested in the history of the Warring States period after coming out of the Nibelungen and specifically checked the documents, he would have really believed in this statue of Confucius.
But now, he dared to point at this bronze statue and swear to God that this thing is definitely not Confucius!
There is a record in “Xunzi Feixiang” that says: “Zhongni is long, looks like Zhongni, and has a face like a veil.” If Xunzi did not deliberately blackmail Confucius, according to this record, the true sage teacher Kong Shengren , I am afraid it is a terrifying existence that can stop children from crying at night.
“Mengbao” was a statue of a god that was hung in the home during the twelfth lunar month to ward off epidemics and ghosts. It had a square, ugly face and a very sinister appearance. It was scary enough when drawn on paper. If it really appeared on the face, it would not be so scary to see it at night. impossible.
So much so that Lu Mingfei seriously suspected that the Holy Master was not only a hybrid, but also a hybrid with such high bloodline that he had dragon-like characteristics.
After all, no matter how much people try to grow up, it is difficult for ordinary people to have such an evaluation as “looking blank”.
Moreover, this person in history was definitely a being with outstanding military power. Not to mention anything else, he led seventy-two direct disciples and a large number of ordinary disciples to travel around the world preaching in an era when humans and dragons were mixed and wars raged. He is already a first-rate ruthless person.
Such a group of people wandering around in that chaotic era could actually manage to do everything with their beards and tails. To say that they all relied on one mouth, only a fool would believe it.
In fact, Lu Mingfei seriously doubted that Confucius had slain a dragon, but he didn’t know who was more ruthless, the sage master or the later emperor.
But to put it this way, the dragons of that era were quite unlucky…
Lu Mingfei had divergent thinking. In that era, Laozi, Confucius, Zhuangzi, Mencius, Xunzi, Mozi…
If all these people were hybrids, the dragons of that era must have had a very hard life, right?
Lu Mingfei was quite curious about this period of history, but the history of that period was too vague, and for some reason, there were no history classes in preparatory classes in China, so his relevant knowledge was extremely limited.
It’s a pity that if Old Tang recovers his memory eighty percent, he will be taken over. Otherwise, he can wait until Old Tang recovers his memory and ask him. Maybe he is the person involved… Oh no, where is the person involved?
Walking on the steps holding Su Xiaoqiang’s arm, Lu Mingfei was a little distracted, thinking that a young man passing by him missed his footing, lost his balance and fell forward.
It was too late to regain his center of gravity and balance. The fallen boy only had time to protect his face with his arms, then closed his eyes tightly, waiting for the final judgment from the steps.
“I hope it won’t be disfigured…”
The young man prayed in his heart, but at the next moment, a sudden and huge force suddenly acted on his clothes, pulling him back forcefully. Because he grabbed the center of the back of the clothes instead of the collar, he did not feel any pain. The pain of being strangled in the neck.
The huge force pulled him backwards. The young man was stunned for a moment, and finally subconsciously regained his center of gravity and stood still.
Loosening his grip on the boy’s clothes, Lu Mingfei turned around and asked, “Are you okay?”
“No…it’s okay,” the frightened young man was still a little confused. He reluctantly came to his senses and bowed to Lu Mingfei to thank him, “Thank you very much!”
You Japanese really like to bow, but bowing too much will become cheap…
Lu Mingfei complained in his heart, then shook his head and said: “You’re welcome, it’s just a little effort.”
“My name is Kiritani Kazuto. Thank you very much for holding me back, otherwise I might have been seriously injured.”
The boy didn’t look much older than Lu Mingfei. Perhaps out of Japanese etiquette, he took the initiative to introduce himself.
“Wait! What did you say your name was?”
Lu Mingfei was stunned.
“Kazuto Kiritani, do you have any questions?”
The young man was puzzled.
“No, it’s nothing. I just thought it was a coincidence. I saw the same name in a novel on the Internet,” Lu Mingfei explained, “The novel was called “Sword Art Online”.”
I also longed for the virtual reality games in it.
“Oh!” The young man made a surprised voice, “Is there such a coincidence? I will definitely look for it online. The protagonist with the same name as me has never been seen before! I want Asuna to Let’s take a look too!”
“Asuna?”
Lu Mingfei looked strange.
“Asuna is my friend, her full name is Yuuki Asuna, a nice name, right?”
The young man’s tone suddenly became much cheerful when he mentioned this name.
Lu Mingfei pondered for a few seconds: “You’d better pay attention and see if anyone around you is writing novels online.”
“Eh? Why?”
The young man was puzzled.
Because the heroine of the novel called “Sword Art Online” is named Yuuki Asuna!
Lu Mingfei felt that the young man in front of him was definitely regarded as a character prototype and written into the novel. Even his handsome and girlish appearance matched the protagonist in the novel.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingfei couldn’t help but feel sorry for this young man who knew nothing about his situation. If he knew that he had been serialized in an online novel and had a lot of readers, he would probably want to commit seppuku.
Putting himself into this young man’s situation, Lu Mingfei swore that if anyone dared to publish a serialized novel based on him and post it online for others to read, he would definitely hang that bastard on the top of the pyramid under the midsummer noon sun. He air-dries.
“It’s just a piece of advice. You will understand later.”
After hesitating for a moment, Lu Mingfei still couldn’t bear to tell Kiritani Kazuto this cruel fact face to face.
“Are you two a couple traveling here?”
Kiritani Kazuto noticed that Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang were holding arms.
“Yes, what’s wrong?”
Lu Mingfei asked.
“If you two have enough time, please give me a chance to thank you after the tour,” Kiritani Kazuto bowed to Lu Mingfei, “I would like to treat you two to lunch as a token of my gratitude.”
“okay.”
Lu Mingfei wanted to refuse, after all, there was no need to thank anyone for such a small thing, but considering the Japanese people’s unusual emphasis on “giving favors” and “receiving favors”, he hesitated and accepted.
…
After finishing the tour with Su Xiaoqiang, he walked out of Yanggaomen, and Kiritani Kazuto was waiting outside.
Lu Mingfei roughly estimated the time and found that at least two hours had passed. He wouldn’t be waiting here forever, would he?
Kiritani Kazuto stopped a car, and Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang followed. The destination turned out to be the University of Tokyo not far away.
The distance between the University of Tokyo and Yushima Cathedral is less than two kilometers, so it’s not too far to walk. Not to mention taking a taxi, you can reach your destination in a few minutes.
After getting off the bus with Kiritani Kazuto, the three of them walked into an old street behind Tokyo University.
“There is a restaurant here that I often go to. Although the place is very remote, the owner makes really delicious food. It is said that he has been doing it for more than 40 years…”
Kiritani Kazuto turned to explain to Lu Mingfei and Su Xiaoqiang, only to find that these two people were standing behind him, looking at a human-operated ramen restaurant parked on the street from a distance. There was another old man in the restaurant who was concentrating on making ramen.
“Ah! That’s Master Yue, the best ramen chef on this street,” Kiritani Kazuto explained. “It is said that he has been an old ramen chef for decades, but he only makes ramen, which is a bit too monotonous. Otherwise, I would also I really want to take you two to Master Yue’s place to eat.”
Lu Mingfei twitched the corner of his mouth, thinking to himself that this hellish place in Tokyo was really a crouching tiger, hidden dragon, and reached out to pinch his thigh.
“Snapped–“
Su Xiaoqiang raised his hand and patted away Lu Mingfei’s claws reaching for his thigh.
