Once, I wanted to be a good person
Chapter 834 - 834: 208. Help Miaomiao Achieve Nobility (6000 words)_2

Pleads for mercy, excuses, and cries of killing arose in the skies above various cities on this night...

This was destined to be a sleepless night.

And it was during the time the Special Service Department was arresting people en masse.

In a wilderness in Yunlan State, Bandage Woman Xin Yi, covered in blood, was desperately dragging a middle-aged man in a black robe with golden stripes as they tried to escape.

Earsplitting beeping sounded around them from time to time, as if small flying devices were whizzing by.

Every time they heard that beeping, both of them would hastily drop to the ground, faces filled with panic.

During their flight, Xin Yi didn't forget to reassure the middle-aged man, "President, don't worry. My space transfer ability can be used again in two minutes. We'll soon be able to break out of the Special Service Department's encirclement."

"As long as we make it through tonight, it will be all right."

Hearing Xin Yi's words, the President of the Rejuvenation Society, after his initial panic, looked at her with a moved expression and said, "Xin Yi, I owe you a great debt."

"If it weren't for your pretense of cooperating with the officials, tricking them into revealing their plans for tonight, and taking the risk to come back to save me, I might have really been doomed tonight."

"Be assured. Although our Rejuvenation Society has been caught in a dragnet, I still have a backup plan and an ace up my sleeve!"

"Once we escape, I will make a comeback, and when I do, I will be the President, and you will be the Vice President!"

Hearing the President of the Rejuvenation Society's words, Bandage Woman said excitedly, "Thank you for your generous offer, President. Rest assured, we'll definitely escape!"

"As for the Vice President... as long as I can follow by your side, I would be completely content even being a mere member."

If the President had heard Bandage Woman say this under normal circumstances, he would have thought she was just flattering him, but now that she had truly brought critical information and saved him, he felt her sincerity in everything she did...

At that moment, he made a decision in his heart...

.....

Deep into the night.

In Xida State, at the Provincial Government.

Fang Ze sat up from the bed. He gently moved the Flower God's phantom, who had fallen asleep on top of him, to the side, then got up, donned a garment, and approached the window.

Looking at the bright moon outside the window, Fang Ze recalled the situation in the Late-Night Investigation Room just earlier.

With both "Usury" and the "Noble Fusion Law," Fang Ze could bring Miaomiao up to the Fusion stage simply by pouring resources into her.

Since those resources originally belonged to the Si Family, Fang Ze didn't mind at all.

However, cultivating Miaomiao to the Fusion stage and helping her become a noble was not the end but just the beginning. The real challenge for a noble lay in Miaomiao's subsequent advancements.

Only after becoming a noble recognized by the Federation did Fang Ze learn why the Federation could clearly keep track of the number of people in each noble family and regulate the nobility.

It was all because of the extract from a mineral Fang Ze was very familiar with: "Qin 28".

"Qin" is the rarest mineral in the Spirit Realm, with naturally low content, yet coincidentally it is the indispensable element for nobles to communicate with the World Origin when they advance in status.

Furthermore, once "Qin" minerals are mined, they must go through various processes to be refined into "Qin 28," so most of it is controlled by the Federation.

Whenever a noble heir becomes a high-ranking Awakener, the Federation will gift a portion of "Qin 28" to that noble family as a congratulatory gesture.

Though called a gift, it is actually the expense needed for that noble's future promotion.

Just like when Fang Ze advanced in the Fusion stage, it required 1 gram of "Qin 28" to advance to the first level, 2 grams for the second level, 3 grams for the third level, and so on, up to a total of 21 grams for the sixth level!

Hence, once a noble family conceals offspring, that person's potential becomes severely limited, and they have almost no value.

Furthermore, as "Qin 28" is incredibly expensive on the black market, any family that amasses funds to buy "Qin 28" on a large scale, or secretly stockpiles it, will quickly draw the Federation's attention.

Of course, there are also families like the Jiang Family that are in charge of the "Qin 28" business within the Federation. Such families are under even tighter scrutiny.

This type of resource control and monitoring, combined with the fact that nobles can only bear offspring with other nobles, makes it extremely difficult for nobles to conceal illegitimate children.

In essence, Fang Ze raising Miaomiao was like having an illegitimate child: after he became a noble and reached the Fusion stage, he was not entitled to "Qin 28." And the "Qin 28" that Flower God had collected was mostly spent during his own promotion.

He was left with just a few grams of "Qin 28", enough to support Miaomiao only up to the third level of Fusion. By his calculations... he was short by about 15 grams of "Qin 28".

"Where can I get that from... I need to think of a way."

Accompanied by the bright moonlight, Fang Ze stood by the window for a long time, until late into the night, when he suddenly had a revelation, "Eh... I got so much 'Qin 28' last time from Flower God."

"So, should I target Dahei Jialuo this time?"

While Fang Ze was not clear why these demigods were collecting "Qin 28," from what he knew, Dahei Jialuo had been dealing with "Qin 28" for years: The Rejuvenation Society had paid a high price to get a few grams of "Qin 28" from Fang Ze's hands.
