Dominating the Pugilistic World With My Detective Skills
Chapter 66 - 66 66 This is a Routine

66: Chapter 66: This is a Routine 66: Chapter 66: This is a Routine After discussing terms with Lin Zhenan, the six members of the Divine Arrest team immediately gathered for a pre-battle emergency meeting.

In the eyes of the NPCs, this group of players were like six fools sitting together, eerily silent, and only occasionally exchanging glances.

In reality, they were in the middle of a tense discussion on the Team Channel.

Transparent Skywalk: I still don’t understand why we are changing our plan all of a sudden.

Also, is Lin Pingzhi that important?

Why must we bring him back to the Divine Arrest Department?

Fish Nope: Of course, Lin Pingzhi is important.

From the descriptions given by Lin Zhenan and others, the whole ordeal started because Lin Pingzhi killed a thug.

So, he is of utmost importance to this matter.

March: I understand the importance of Lin Pingzhi.

But what I don’t understand is why not just find a reason to bring Lin Zhenan and his wife to the Divine Arrest Department too?

Fish Nope: We should ask Brother Ye about this.

ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ

Ye Weiming: Sigh…

Because the gap in power between our team and the enemy is too significant.

I only resorted to this strategy to distract the enemy.

According to the data, the Lin Family possesses a Secret Book of Swordplay at the unique skills level.

This is why they are targeted by numerous forces.

If we split our actions, Lin Zhenan, who knows the secrets of the sword book, can definitely draw away the majority of the enemy’s firepower.

Transparent Skywalk: But this sounds like a good strategy!

Why say it’s a last resort?

Ye Weiming: Speaking of which, I wouldn’t tell this to just anyone.

Everyone: 凸(艹皿艹)

Ye Weiming: (｡•ᴗ-)_ Okay, okay, don’t get excited.

In fact, this involves a small trick that I discovered while doing missions.

The rewards specified in the mission list are just base rewards.

If we complete the task better, we can definitely get more.

For example, our current mission mandate is to investigate the truth of the serial murders at the Fuwei Escort Agency.

Looking at it from the surface, we just need to crack the case and we don’t need to worry about how many people die at Fuwei or whether anyone else is going to die after we arrive.

Even if we just identify the murderer and report the case, we don’t need to confront these powerful enemies.

But in reality, if we can do better, the reward will definitely increase substantially.

It was just that after weighing the risks and rewards, I thought that the risk to play big was too high.

Hence, we backed down and opted for a safe approach.

That’s why I said this was a last resort.

Giving everyone a few seconds to digest what he had just said, Ye Weiming continued: Speaking of which, we are lucky Lin Pingzhi mentioned the Tongtian Escort Agency.

Otherwise, I wouldn’t have thought of this method to minimize risk.

At this time, Fish Nope skillfully took over the conversation: To ensure the safety of his family, Lin Zhenan will have to pay up.

We, on the other hand, can directly take Lin Pingzhi, who is most relevant to the case, back to the Divine Arrest Department.

Once we have a high-level NPC from our sect to protect this crucial witness, we can focus entirely on tracking down the real culprit.

This guy, even at this time, does not forget to seize every opportunity to gain attention, and snatch the limelight from Ye Weiming.

Is the nominal title of Senior Brother of the Divine Arrest Department really that important to him?

Ye Weiming shifted his focus after sizing this stubborn guy back, saying: In fact, even the plan after changing the strategy isn’t flawless.

The enemy has left blood words “death awaits ten steps away” outside.

They definitely won’t let us deliver the Lins to the Tongtian Escort Agency so easily.

There’s bound to be a harsh battle ahead.

If there is any equipment you don’t need, you can take it out now.

We will look over it, share what we have, and try our best to improve the overall combat efficiency of the team.

Everyone fell silent.

Fish Nope scoffed inside his heart.

Meanwhile, Ye Weiming casually shared the properties of the Azure Bracelet, Frog Skin Wristband and the “Star Throwing” Secret Book in the Team Channel: Start bidding if you need anything.

We can trade right now if the price is right.

Fish Nope, who had been ready to enjoy the show coolly, could no longer laugh now.

Previously, he thought that Ye Weiming only wanted to take advantage of others.

But he didn’t expect him to really bring out items, and three at that – a blue equipment, a green equipment, and a secret book!

Such a big spender…

Fortunately, I didn’t make any snide remarks earlier, otherwise my face would be smarting from the figurative slap!

At this moment, after the equipment and secret book properties appeared, the tactical discussion group instantly transformed into an auction group.

Tang Sancai: 20 gold for the Azure Bracelet, 10 gold for the “Throwing Stars” secret book!

March: 35 gold for “Throwing Stars”, 25 gold for the Frog Skin Bracelet!

But I don’t have that much money on me now, I can only give you 50 gold first, the remaining 10 gold I can owe you.

Yoyo: 30 gold for the Azure Bracelet!

Tang Sancai: Fine, I give up…

Ye Weiming looked at him curiously: Brother Tang, you don’t seem very interested in the items I brought out?

Tang Sancai explained: The Azure Bracelet could enhance my combat power a bit, but the improvement would be limited, I would rather have something that increases the power of hidden weapons or their flying speed.

The attributes this bracelet will increase are obviously the attack speed, which doesn’t have a big practical impact on me.

As for the “Throwing Stars”, as it says in the description, it’s merely a fragment of the Tang Sect’s unique scattered hand technique.

In a while, I should be able to learn the complete Tang Sect scattered hand technique.

Although the proficiency can be integrated by that time, it’s not that significant.

So…

Tang Sancai shrugged, indicating that he wasn’t very eager for these two items.

Ye Weiming nodded, directly traded the equipment and secret book to March and Yoyo respectively, and said to the former: “No need for an IOU.

If these two pieces were auctioned out, the final transaction price would be just like what you said.

But the auction house takes a cut, I would be lucky to get a little over 50 gold in my hand.

We are all familiar with each other, let’s just say 50 gold for these two pieces.”

“Thank you, Ah Ming!”

With a slight smile, Ye Weiming turned to the others and said: “The transaction is over, does anyone else have anything they want to auction?”

After Ye Weiming’s demonstration, everyone understood that this was not a gratuitous gift, but just another way of selling unwanted items.

Although it may not maximize the value, it also wouldn’t result in a loss.

Following this, Tang Sancai, Youyou, and March each took out their own unused equipment for auction, and the team atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Influenced by the team’s atmosphere, after much hesitation, Nonyu finally decided to part with an item.

Cloud Terrace Sword Ring (Green): A ring with a sword imprint.

Attack +30, Defense +30, Swordsman Weapon Attack Speed +1%!

A quick glance at these properties and it’s clear it’s a set that belongs to a swordsman, especially the weapon attack speed attribute, which looks pretty formidable.

An opportunity seized is one gained, Ye Weiming immediately offered a price of 30 gold in the team channel.

Seeing this price, Transparent Skywalk, who was quietly typing at the side, deleted the “15 gold” he had just typed out, pretending nothing had happened.

Then, this reasonably attractive green ring was successfully purchased by Ye Weiming at market price.

After the transaction, Nonyu looked at his account balance that had just increased by 30 gold, and he couldn’t help but furrow his brows in thought.

It seemed that from the beginning, the items Ye Weiming brought out were the most suitable for March and Yoyo, two girls with whom he had the best relationships.

The items were not well matched for others, even for Tang Sancai.

He just sold his items through this open method.

But did he just manage to get my ring, which I was going to throw into the auction house, for cheap?

It’s a set up!

I can’t believe I fell for his trick!

So annoying!
