Chapter 82: Chapter 82: Reached a Consensus... (Compensatory Additional Chapter)

So it turns out this ’lamp holder’ is here for the ’fox’.

The ’secret cultivator’ sank into contemplation.

The meaning behind ’honey badger’s words was crystal clear: are you going to staunchly defend the ’fox’ and make an enemy of me, or are you going to hand over the ’fox’?

It appeared to be a dilemma,

but in reality, it was far from it.

The ’secret cultivator’ quickly made up her mind.

"The ’fox’ is in the Capital City, working on my commission, investigating traces of the ’Hermit Association’. I can arrange for you to meet him."

To the ’secret cultivator,’ the ’fox’ was just a tool. Offending the only S-class lamp holder among undocumented players for his sake was obviously not a wise move.

In the rental apartment.

Upon hearing this, Yang Qizhou sprang up from the sofa.

Well, this is intriguing. That ’fox’ nearly used his Deceiver talent to swindle my quasi-legendary item, the [Hidden God’s Clothes]. This is a chance to have a proper chat with him.

"Miss ’secret cultivator,’ didn’t you promise the fox that you’d bless his safety? And now you’re selling him out so readily?" Yang Qizhou couldn’t help but ask curiously.

The voice of the ’secret cultivator’ carried a trace of amusement.

"How could this be selling him out? The agreement between the ’fox’ and me was to protect him from being found by the ’Original Darkness’ big shot. But if he was discovered by you from the very beginning, how could that be my fault?"

"Besides,"

"making an enemy of someone like you, a high-level player, over the fox doesn’t seem like a cost-effective deal no matter how I look at it."

She truly had an impeccable rationale.

Yang Qizhou smirked dismissively, having seen through the ’secret cultivator.’ At the end of the day, she treated ’Secret Cultivation Society’ members merely as disposable tools.

Such a person was certainly not trustworthy for deeper connections.

"Two favors..." At that moment, the ’secret cultivator’s’ slightly mocking voice came through.

Yang Qizhou raised a brow, puzzled, "What two favors?"

"Two favors, of course... Yesterday, ’honey badger,’ you asked me about the hidden truth regarding the ’complete sacred name of God.’ I revealed it without asking for compensation. Now, I’ve handed over the ’fox.’ When you look at it together, isn’t that two favors?"

The ’secret cultivator’ spoke in a matter-of-fact tone.

Yang Qizhou thought for a moment and replied, "Miss ’secret cultivator,’ then I hope you won’t mind if I owe you a third favor."

???

On the rooftop of a skyscraper, in front of a massive floor-to-ceiling window, the ’secret cultivator’ sitting in a rocking chair displayed an odd expression.

She had intended to use this opportunity to build a deeper relationship with ’honey badger,’ adding another card to her collection. But now she felt as though she was being exploited instead.

A possible third free favor.

’Honey badger,’ you’re supposed to be a high-level player–have a bit of dignity, will you?

"Lord ’honey badger,’ why don’t you first tell me what the matter is? If I can help, I’ll naturally do my best," the ’secret cultivator’ gave a subtle, diplomatic response to leave herself an escape route.

Yang Qizhou didn’t bother with her evasiveness, operating with the mindset of "a fool would pass up free benefits" and went straight to the point: "Do you know what kind of existence the ’Wizard’ represents?"

"Wizard? There’s a profession like this in [Deceit World]?"

"You’re unaware?"

"Apologies, Lord ’honey badger,’ this is one favor I can’t offer. I genuinely don’t know."

Yang Qizhou felt a trace of disappointment.

Previously, he had thought that the ’secret cultivator,’ with her mysterious identity and status as a high-level player in [Deceit World], might know some hidden truths about the ’Wizard.’ But it turned out she hadn’t even heard of their existence on the Old Sacrifice land.

"Right now, my relationship with the ’secret cultivator’ remains in its honeymoon phase. Given her current aim to appease me, she shouldn’t lie about this matter."

"It seems the traces of the ’Wizard’ being erased from the Old Sacrifice land,"

"are even cleaner than I imagined."

...

...

Yang Qizhou enjoyed his conversation with the ’secret cultivator,’ which lasted for quite some time.

This sparked the curiosity of other ’Secret Cultivation Society’ members.

During previous ’online gatherings,’ the second phase didn’t last long. In general, the group leader, ’secret cultivator,’ completed each conversation within two minutes, rotating through the members quickly, wrapping up the phase in under fifteen minutes total.

This time, however,

the chat between the ’secret cultivator’ and ’honey badger’ had already stretched to twenty minutes, far exceeding the combined duration of conversations with everyone else.

It was an unusual occurrence.

Just then,

The private conversation between the ’secret cultivator’ and ’honey badger’ ended, and the prior buzz of activity quickly subsided.

Secret Cultivator: "The second phase is over. We’re now moving into the third phase—everyone can freely voice requests for commissions to other ’Secret Cultivation Society’ members. Let’s begin."

This phase was extremely important.

With [Deceit World] being a relatively new phenomenon, all players were fumbling their way forward. Whether in the game or the real world, challenges would inevitably arise. That’s when the assistance of other players became necessary.

Within the game system, players could make use of [Destiny Chain]—special items that required Old Sacrifice tokens for redemption—to team up and collectively advance narratives.

As for challenges in the real world... those were even easier to tackle collaboratively.

Rabbit: "Things have been going smoothly for me lately. I don’t have any commissions, but I can check if there are any I can take on."

Tiger: "I’ve been investigating players twisted into monsters. Because of this, I’m likely being targeted by ’Knowledge Boundary.’ I urgently need someone to come to Jinling to help resolve this issue. As payment, I’m willing to offer a ’transcendent item.’"

Leopard: "I’ll take this commission. My flight’s tomorrow morning—I’ll arrive the same day."

The group chat buzzed with activity, which made Yang Qizhou’s curiosity itch, wondering if he should take on a commission.

Ultimately, though, he decided against it.

Because there was something more important coming up.

"The ’Hermit Association’ has been active in the Capital City recently, suspected of plotting something major. Some troubling incidents have already occurred. Earlier, I commissioned the ’fox’ to investigate, but his capabilities alone may not suffice. So I plan to assign another member to assist the ’fox.’ Let me know if anyone is interested..."

The speaker was the ’secret cultivator,’ whose performance seemed flawless, revealing no cracks in her act. "The payment is... one million."

???

Yang Qizhou was astonished—a payout was involved!

A million was no trivial sum for a middle-class family. Naturally, many ’Secret Cultivation Society’ members intended to compete for the opportunity, but since Yang Qizhou was privy to certain insider details, he wasn’t about to let this chance slip away. So he voiced his intention as well...

"I’m conveniently already in the Capital City, so let me take it."

Ordinarily, as a newcomer, ’honey badger’ shouldn’t have had much clout to compete, and many members would vie for the task. However, the reality was... the entire ’Secret Cultivation Society’ lapsed into silence.

Elsewhere, one of the members,

Rabbit stuck out her tongue: "That ’honey badger’ actually knows something about how ’divinity’ almost came into being in reality. That’s not something an ordinary ’player’ could achieve. Definitely a big shot—better not to provoke him."

The others shared a similar sentiment.

The ’secret cultivator’ was happy to follow the tide and promptly decided: "Alright, ’honey badger,’ this task is yours."
