Chapter 173: Chapter 162 Important Meeting

"Ding-dong! You have recharged 1000 yuan, with a bonus of 1000 yuan. Your current balance is 2000 yuan."

Business came in again, and this couple had directly charged a thousand yuan, which delighted Wang Hao’s heart.

Rich folks!

Unfortunately, there were no open positions to get on the machines.

The two whispered to each other while seated. It seemed they encountered some emergency and hurriedly wanted to leave.

These two rich folks charged money and ran off, and Wang Hao felt a bit embarrassed since they couldn’t play due to the queue.

He quickly caught up to them, handing over two metal keychains: "Here’s a small gift for you, wishing you all the best."

It wasn’t a cheap item either, 10 yuan each.

He had bought them wholesale from a small commodities market...

"Thank you, thank you!"

After accepting the gifts, they hurried back into their car.

She took a deep breath.

The pressure was a bit much.

After a long while, the girl said, "I can feel it, that girl is indeed human, not something bizarre."

This was her unique ability, to use her fingers to discern the Hume Index of an object. (Note: The Hume Index, a unit that measures the degree of reality.)

"An ordinary person... that’s great."

They then analyzed the etheric fluctuations they had just recorded.

Nothing extraordinary...

It seemed they detected nothing at all.

The pretty girl really was just an ordinary human.

"But why do I always feel like something’s off here!" The girl held her head, ranting in distress.

As a superpower user, she always had some kind of Sixth Sense.

"We can’t investigate it at all!"

Suddenly, a spark of inspiration struck the girl, and she whispered softly as if grasping some opportunity, "What if it’s a time-related ability that added a person to the world out of nowhere?!"

The boy shook his head, staring dumbfounded, "A time-system ability, that’s just too exaggerated; humans can’t possibly do that."

"Well, that would at least be a Subordinate Demon God-level ability."

"But our Jin Li, who is responsible for the case, is so mild-tempered, highly praised by the community aunties, a model student, and even gave us little gifts. Surely, she can’t be some Demon God, right?"

The girl was also stunned, looking at the keychain Jin Li had given.

If every unsolved mystery was attributed to a Demon God, then this world would no longer be able to function...

They might as well claim that the "Goldbach Conjecture" or the "Riemann Hypothesis" were the work of Demon Gods.

"Let’s go, let’s investigate her high school."

And so, two rookies with some suspicions in their hearts investigated for half a day...

They found nothing.

The high school did indeed have a girl with decent grades who made a strong impression on her homeroom teacher.

Her classmates also had quite an impression of her.

They hurriedly wrote a report, reporting on the matter.

They thought that "Jin Li" probably did not have a mental illness, and previous conclusions were likely incorrect.

...

Meanwhile, the upper echelons of the Black-clothed Guard were busy...

The Demon God "Game" hanging in the sky had attracted the attention of the world!

With such a divinity here, who would care about the small fry that got away?

...

"Dear passenger, hello, flight TS371 to the background airport is about to take off. Please proceed to gate number 4 to board the flight."

On the 28th, Ms. Sun Qingqing was in the airport lounge waiting for her flight to the Taishan Altar branch.

A private plane?

Naturally, there wasn’t one.

The Great Science Academy was at pains to make every penny count.

As someone with social anxiety, Sun Qingqing... felt a little nervous.

Although she was just a rookie making up the numbers at the Academy and didn’t need to speak at meetings, the thought of being around so many people made her heart race uncontrollably.

"They will definitely ask, ’Little Sun, how was the harvest of Immortal Beans this year? Have you achieved mass breeding yet?’"

"Should be able to overcome the difficulties this year, right? Each additional Immortal Bean could save another life."

"Little Sun, work hard. Talents like you are few and far between."

Those uncles and aunties weren’t ordinary people.

The pressure they push from behind... isn’t something ordinary people can bear.

"It’s as if I’m just a tool for Breeding Immortal Beans! Day in, day out, it’s all about the beans."

"Ah, I really want to play games all day long, do nothing, and throw all my troubles behind!"

Sun Qingqing recalled the happy day she had spent with Wang Hao.

Just then, her phone vibrated.

A subordinate had sent a report.

Speak of the devil and he shall appear, the subject under investigation happened to be "Jin Li."

Sun Qingqing hastily scanned through the report and was stunned.

She made another phone call, "Hello, does he really have a cousin? Did you guys get it wrong?"

"But, but, isn’t this girl just a figment of his imagination? Have you confirmed it?"

The girl on the phone said, "We asked her head teacher, and indeed, there’s such a girl with pretty good grades."

Sun Qingqing furrowed her brow, "Could it be that there were errors in our previous investigation? It’s not impossible..."

For some reason, she felt a bit of joy in her heart—it was great that Wang Hao didn’t have a mental illness!

Actually, she always thought Wang Hao seemed quite normal.

What rare good news!

The voice on the phone said, "We can’t find the reason."

"There are two possible causes for this mistake."

"First, he really does have a cousin, and our previous assessment was wrong. The former Investigator made some small mistakes, which is normal."

"Second, the time axis might have been manipulated, which would be a major event on a Demon God Level."

Sun Qingqing said irritably, "If the time axis was manipulated, our way of thinking would also be deeply affected."

"We would feel that the existence of his cousin is natural, and the archives would also record her existence, making it impossible to harbor any doubts. So can you not overthink things, please? Stop going on about Demon Gods constantly; are there really that many of them?"

"A Demon God’s deeds would leave you with loopholes to discover?"

Upon being rebutted by the Immortal Bean in such a manner, the two couldn’t argue.

Indeed, if the time axis had been manipulated, they should have been interfered with as well.

"Let’s do this, we’ll talk more when I get back! I’m going to investigate him," Sun Qingqing said with a smile on her face. Actually, it was just an excuse to have fun for the day. What was there to investigate about a Jin Li with a benign disposition of C-level...

The voice on the phone spoke again, "Another thing, he gave us two keychains... How should we handle this?"

"From my understanding, you guys are going to have a streak of good luck, so hurry up and go breed some Immortal Beans!!"

Sun Qingqing hung up the phone and started to worry again.

A low-threat level outlier, and moreover, it was Wang Hao, whom she was extremely familiar with.

Even if there were some minor changes, compared to the significant events that were about to occur, it was just a trivial matter.

After all, what was really troubling her now was the old men’s relentless questioning!

...

Taishan Altar.

This ancient branch of the Black-clothed Guard buzzed with activity, lively as a marketplace.

Helicopters, roaring, flew by from time to time, landing at a nearby small airport.

Local time, 3:30 PM, a silver-haired elder emerged from the helicopter, slightly hunched, leaning on a cane, donning a tall hat, and clad in a magnificent red cloak.

The Pope!

It was said he could communicate with God himself!

Several people followed him, including not only the cardinals in red but also a tall, good-looking blonde woman—the famous Gypsy fortune-teller, Jenny.

The rumble of engines started up once more as the Director of the Mysterious Bureau, Roger, and others arrived at the scene by helicopter.

"Hello, Your Holiness, what a coincidence," Roger greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Director Roger."

The two shook hands amicably.

"Your Holiness, what are your thoughts on the two Sages who have emerged out of nowhere?" Roger asked, smiling.

"We are blessed by the Sages and grateful for the peace they’ve brought, as their presence helped avert a disaster."

"Even though they are not from Western civilization, we should still thank them as part of the same human race."

Under the watchful eyes of the public, the Pope spoke with careful precision.

Of course, his underlying message was that the West recognized the existence of the two Sages and would record it in history.

It would be impossible to discuss the resolution of the Blood Demon incident without mentioning them.

Roger nodded slightly. In the face of a formidable external threat, excessive infighting was indeed unwise.

It was only appropriate to pay tribute and remember the two Sages who had saved the human world.

"This way, please!" The group entered a tower building filled with the cultural aura of Great Xia.

...

Over the past couple of days, this remote little place welcomed over a thousand international friends!

Aside from the senior leaders of the major Supernatural Organizations, some government officials, centuries-old wealthy families, and international consortia with a net worth of over five hundred billion US Dollars were also invited.

They gathered here to discuss important matters.

Of course, simply paying tribute wasn’t enough to attract so many people.

As individuals in high positions, busy to death, it was enough for deputies to participate in honoring the Sages of Great Xia, who had saved the world; there was no need to go in person.

Even if time was made available, playing a round of golf would be deemed more important than commemorating the Sages...

One has to admit, humanity is such a pragmatic species. Everyone prefers looking forward, rather than dwelling on the past.

These people came here for interest’s sake.

There were several more important issues that needed to be resolved.

First, the inaugural "Strange Objects Trade Conference" would be held here.

The Underworld’s auction of Strange Objects was always illegal. Blood Demon’s derivative powers were largely disseminated through these underground auctions.

Capital chases profit, and human nature is greedy. Because the benefits brought by the Blood Demon were too substantial, there hadn’t been enough consensus to enforce regulation in the past.

But the recent World Level disaster truly terrified many high-level individuals, leading to a consensus among various parties.

Money can be earned again, but life comes only once.

With sufficient consensus, things become much easier to handle.
