Chapter 58: New Official Takes Three Actions

"My bad, my bad. Next time I will come to ask you in advance." Qi Huan lowered his head quickly. "Boss, can you help me get a certificate first and remove the banned sign?"

Qi Huan had been displeased with the black mark for a long time, but he had no way to appeal before. Now that he had Diwuyuan as his strong supporter, he immediately wanted to remove the mark of shame in advance.

"I'm too sleepy now. Let's talk after I wake up." Diwuyuan arrogantly "rejected" Qi Huan and turned off the video call.

Qi Huan blinked at the black screen that suddenly went black, and shrugged at Jiu Fangyu opposite him with grievance and helplessness, "Children are children."

Jiufang Yu frowned hesitantly, "Are you familiar with Diwuyuan?"

"It's OK. I met him when I was playing games before. He came to Waste Planet No. 7 on a business trip a few days ago, and we happened to meet." Qi Huan pointed at the robot Butler Bear next to him, "Butler Bear is the one he left with me."

"Is it the Death Library you mentioned just now?" Jiufang Yu asked casually.

"No, I just happened to watch the live broadcast twice recently." Before Qi Huan could finish, Diwuyuan's call request popped up again. He smiled apologetically at Jiufang Yu and picked up the video.

"What are you buying? All 500 copies are sold out!" As soon as the signal was connected, the young man on the other end started complaining.

"Sold out?" Qi Huan was stunned. No way, so fast?

"Do you know a fan with the ID Fierce Beast Armor? He bought 350 copies by himself. Can we discuss letting him share a few with me?"

Ferocious beast armor, isn’t that... Qi Huan subconsciously looked towards the opposite side.

Jiufang Yu calmly hooked his finger at Qi Huan, signaling him to turn the screen on his personal terminal.

Seeing Jiufang Yu appearing on camera, Diwuyuan immediately frowned with disgust, "Why is it you?"

"I am the Ferocious Beast Armor." Jiufang Yu raised his eyebrows slightly, showing a gentle and polite demeanor.

Fifth Yuan: ...

Jiufang Yu pressed his thumb against the white jade ring on his hand and gently rubbed the pattern on his index finger. "I do have a few extra copies of Golden Wind and Jade Dew on my hand. If you don't mind, you can release me from your forbidden zone and give you two copies."

"Why do you know Huanhuan?"

"He is the new star lord of Waste Star No. 7, and he also means I am my new boss." Qi Huan next to him interjected softly.

"When did it happen?" Diwuyuan looked surprised.

"It's still being handed over now," Qi Huan added.

Fifth Yuan: ...

"Fifty copies." The young master turned to Jiufang Yu again and opened his mouth loudly.

"Fifteen." The new star master calmly adjusted his white jade cufflinks.

"Thirty."

"Twenty."

"Twenty-five."

"Twenty-two."

"Deal." After the 'deal' was made, Diwuyuan simply hung up the video, as if he didn't want to see that person for even a second longer.

Qi Huan looked at Jiu Fangyu, "Did you have any misunderstandings before?"

The young master's disgusted expression was about to overflow from the display screen.

Jiufang Yu gently rubbed his nose with his fingers, and a trace of embarrassment appeared on his fair and handsome face. "The Fifth Family is on good terms with the Jiufang Family, so when I represented the Si Family to deal with them before, I cheated his two uncles a few times. Dear uncles."

At this time, Diwuyuan sent another message, "Huanhuan, don't be fooled by that guy's face. His mind is made of lotus roots. He will cheat you without blinking an eye. Stay as far away from him as possible."

Jiufang Yu frowned slightly at the message and opened his personal terminal. Qi Huan sighed and replied to Diwu Yuan, stating a "sad" fact, [I still have a labor contract with the Waste Star Base for more than 200 years].

Putting aside other things, he has sold himself as a slave for more than two hundred years. How can he just stay away from him? Even a scumbag like Jiufang Kuang has to follow him.

Fifth Yuan: ...

Jiufang Yu also found Diwuyuan. Seeing that the ban on speaking had indeed been lifted, he raised his eyebrows and sent a message, "If you don't sleep now, you won't grow taller."

[What the hell do you care!] The young master was so angry that he almost swore. Just when he was about to put the person in the silent zone for the second time, another message came from the other side.

[There are some problems with the protection system on the waste planet. If it is not handled properly, the entire No. 3 base may be in danger, especially the location where Qi Huan lives. If you are willing, you can call Konghu tomorrow when you wake up and you will know what is going on. ]

Next came 22 gifts of Golden Wind and Jade Dew.

As soon as the yogurt flower entered his mouth, Diwuyuan paused for a moment on the mute button. He looked at Qi Huan's last message, then at Jiufang Yu's, and after hesitating for a long time, he finally withdrew his hand. He lost again, and had to let one more person out of the mute box.

"Are you chatting with Diwuyuan?"

"Well, explain the previous misunderstanding." Jiufang Yu looked at the dialog box that was not banned, and a faint smile flashed in his eyes.

"Why buy so many bottles of Golden Wind and Jade Dew?" Qi Huan was puzzled. Why waste money on virtual products when you can eat the real thing?

"The things you make are very popular in the guard team. Everyone has been working very hard recently, so I thought of buying one for each of them, and also stocking up a few copies for Xiao Ba so that he can try them when he's craving something." Jiufang Yu turned off his personal terminal and gave a perfect explanation.

In the past two days, many more guards have arrived, and the total number has reached 288. In addition, Xu Zhi said that three secretaries and 27 civilian staff will arrive tomorrow. As the temporary person in charge of the cafeteria, Qi Huan does not know the specific duties of those people, but he is very clear about the number of people.

If everyone gets one copy and some left over, it really isn't too outrageous.

"That's not right. Didn't you say you had no money last time?" Qi Huan suddenly remembered another thing.

"I sold a few more beast cores a few days ago."

"There's no need to spend so much money and let the platform take a cut for nothing. It's better to wait until I find the time to do it for them directly." Qi Huan felt painful just thinking about the 45% taken away by the platform.

Seeing his distressed look, Jiufang Yu's eyes flashed with a smile, "It saves you the effort, and the money is well spent."

"How can it not be unfair? It's nearly 60,000 silver coins." Qi Huan muttered, but he also knew that Jiufang Yu meant well. After all, if he really made more than 300 desserts, it would take a lot of effort just to process the fruits.

While the two were talking, Qi Huan received another message from the Baifu platform.

He thought it was a notification of contact with the ban mark, so he clicked on it and found out it was a notification of tax deduction reminder.

Tax? Qi Huan thought that the tax was automatically paid in the 45% deducted from the white attachment. After reading the notice, he realized that the alliance's tax is calculated based on the annual total income. Those with an annual income of less than 500,000 silver coins are tax-free. Those with an annual income of 500,000 to 5 million silver coins are taxed at 3%, and those with an annual income of 5 million to 50 million silver coins are taxed at 5%. The higher the income, the higher the tax rate, which rises in a ladder-like manner.

Just now, his annual income has exceeded the tax-free limit and entered the ranks of low-income people in the league.

Amid the hustle and bustle, the hunting season was drawing to a close, and the unloading area was not as busy as before, and Lao Wu could handle it all by himself. Qi Huan stopped working at the unloading area, and went back and forth between Tianfeng Pavilion and Renjian Restaurant every day. He would go there in the morning, and then rush back to Renjian Restaurant after lunch to take a break, buy some ingredients, and prepare for the dinner market and the live broadcast every other day.

The next day, Diwuyuan helped to remove the "warning sign" in Qi Huan's live broadcast room, and also helped Qi Huan to upgrade and decorate the entire live broadcast room online. Under Qi Huan's firm opposition, Diwuyuan withdrew the ubiquitous bear elements, and finally only left a floor-standing bear ornament.

The young master naturally became a die-hard fan of the live broadcast room, and even spent his own money to help Qi Huan get recommended positions twice, which directly increased Qi Huan's number of fans from 1,000 to 10,000. Later, he realized that this was to make it difficult for him to get the products on the shelves, so he called a pause on the promotion. His greatest pleasure was to compete with Jiufang Yu. There were 500 copies of something, and the two of them always competed to buy 300 copies. In the middle, there was also the anonymous customer who always bought 100 copies. The other fans in the live broadcast room were screaming in the barrage, saying that they couldn't get them at all.

In desperation, Qi Huan set a purchase limit in the background, and each person could not purchase more than five copies at a time.

What made Qi Huan even more speechless was that there were policies from above and countermeasures from below. The kid Diwuyuan actually wrote a plug-in program for grabbing orders for his own shopping platform. Jiufang Yu was even simpler, he directly used the human sea tactics and arranged a group of guards to grab the orders every time. Qi Huan didn't know what tricks the anonymous big customer used. Anyway, the three of them had their wins and losses, and the results could be checked.

During the scramble, Qi Huan's live broadcasts totaled ten times. Although there were still four days before the 'full moon', Diwuyuan directly helped him to go through the green channel and upgraded the listing rights to 5,000 copies, which finally resolved the situation of the three-way scramble.

Seeing that the handover period was about to end, Xu Zhi specifically talked to Qi Huan about another matter, hoping that he could take over the job of chef and be the head chef in charge of the canteen of Tianfeng Pavilion in the future. Firstly, he has now established a very high reputation among the guards with his delicious food, and it is estimated that no one will accept him if he is replaced; secondly, with him, Tianfeng Pavilion will have a chef who can take charge of the dinner reception in the future; thirdly, the staff is tight now, and there are even fewer people who can be trusted. He is also half of Xu Zhi's own person, and he is in charge of the food, and the safety can be relatively assured.

Qi Huan had originally promised Jiufang Yu that he could help as the chef for the dinner, but Tianfeng Pavilion would not hold dinners periodically after all, so it was still mainly temporary. Now what Xu Zhi said was a stable and long-term job employed by Tianfeng Pavilion.

In the canteen, not only Ah Hei and the other three kitchen helpers worked hard, but also the two helpers worked very hard. After a few days of running-in, everyone cooperated better and better. If the canteen is really going to take over, they can add a few more people in the future to help them divide the work and train them in different directions. In the future, it will be more than enough to handle big banquets or daily lunches. Moreover, he will be with Jiufang Yuchen and the others every day, so he doesn't have to worry about safety. Qi Huan is still very excited.

If it becomes a long-term job, living at the west gate may not be very convenient. Jiufang Yuchen and the others will definitely move to the Tongling Hall in the future, and there will be problems with transportation and safety. It is actually quite tiring to take care of both ends.

Should we just move the restaurant to the Tongling Hall? He kept thinking about this question for the next two days, but did not give Xu Zhi an answer for the time being.

The day Jiufang Kuang left Waste Planet No. 7 was July. Qi Huan didn't have a good impression of the people on Jiufang Kuang's side, so naturally he wanted him to leave as soon as possible.

Before leaving, the fat chef sent him a message to say goodbye, and also asked him to remember to find him if he went to the main star of the First Star Region in the future.

Although Qi Huan felt that he would not go, he still politely agreed. After all, there was nothing wrong with having more friends.

The native residents of the base were jubilant, celebrating that they had finally escaped from their suffering.

On the way home, almost every household was smashing stones at their doorsteps. Those with hammers used them directly, while those without hammers used whatever was available, such as axes, iron bars, benches, wrenches, etc. Everyone was in high spirits, smashing as hard as they could. The sounds of clanging and banging were heard all along the way, and the noise was as lively as setting off firecrackers.

"What's going on?" Chen Ye looked down from the airship and asked Qi Huan in confusion.

Qi Huan, the fake native, was actually more confused than him. He shrugged and said, "You know, I have lost my memory."

Shen Ye:......

Later, when I got home, I asked Quan Hai who was also smashing stones at the door and learned that this was a custom left over from the mine to send away the God of Plague. Find a black stone and smash it, the more broken the better, and say some "auspicious words" while smashing it. When you take the broken pieces outside the base and throw them into the wind, it is considered to send away the broken pieces and the God of Plague together.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Chen Ye immediately went to find a huge black stone and started smashing it with Qi Huan.

When Jiufang Yu and Xu Zhi came back, they saw two people smashing a broken stone at the door.

Jiufang Yu's hand on the button of his cloak froze for a moment, "What are you doing?"

"Send away the God of Plague." Qi Huan forced the hammer in his hand into his hand, "Come over and hit him twice."

"Yes, Brother Zhi, hit it a few times too." Shen followed suit and also stuffed his hammer at Xu Zhi, who looked puzzled.

Jiufang Yu and Xu Zhi were pushed to the edge of the stone by the two men. Although they didn't understand, they still hit it a few times as Qi Huan and Shen Ye requested.

Before going to bed at night, Qi Huan "routinely" went to Jiufang Yu's room and knocked on the door to borrow Heituanzi. Jiufang Yu was checking with the secretary the procedures for the Star Lord's inauguration ceremony to be held the day after tomorrow.

"No need. Keep everything simple and shorten the duration to less than 30 minutes. Try not to disrupt the normal life rhythm of the people in the base." Jiufang Yu's fair and handsome face showed a serious look.

Hearing his serious tone, Qi Huan paused. They were discussing serious matters and it seemed that he had come at the wrong time.

"And we need to speed up the process of preparing the gift for the base personnel." Jiufang Yu slightly bent his slender four fingers and hooked his finger in the direction of Qi Huan, motioning him to come in.

As long as it wasn't something that needed to be kept secret, Qi Huan breathed a sigh of relief. When he walked to the desk, Jiufang Yu also hung up the call.

"What gift? Is there one for me?" Qi Huan caught the black ball that pounced on him, sat down on the chair opposite Jiufang Yu, and stretched out his hand mischievously.

"I just prepared some benefits for everyone. Everyone gets a share." Jiufang Yu's originally tense expression softened a lot. He opened the drawer, took out something that looked like a gum box and pushed it in front of him, "Take this."

"What is that?" Qi Huan took it and looked at it curiously. The thing was as transparent as crystal, square, with smooth corners, and layers of scale-like patterns on the surface. In the middle, there was a rounded, concave button that was consistent with the style of a mini medical cabin.

"The Si family's latest protective shield is expected to be strong enough to withstand three attacks from a Class A star beast. I brought a few experimental products to help test the effects, and Liang specifically asked me to give you one." Jiufang Yu motioned for him to open it and take a look.

Qi Huan pressed the concave part, and a blue light appeared at the button. The thing expanded instantly, and countless scale-like and feather-like things flew out, and they combined into a translucent shield that was as tall as a person, like Transformers.

The overall shape of the shield is close to an inverted trapezoid, with a flat top and a slightly bulging bottom. The edges are slightly upturned and as sharp as a blade. The shield surface is made up of feather-like flakes, with dozens of irregular blue arcs of light swimming between the gaps, crackling like lightning.

"Don't touch those light arcs, you will get hurt." Jiufang Yu reminded in a gentle voice.

The corner of Qi Huan's lips twitched. It looked like high voltage electricity. Who would dare to touch it?

The inside of the shield was as smooth as a mirror, with a handle in the middle and a round, concave button on top. He tried the feel and found it was not too heavy. He pressed the button again, and the shield shrank back to the size of a gum box and fell gently back into his palm.

"Thank Liang for me~" Qi Huan happily put the shield into his brooch. It would be like having a life-saving talisman when he encountered stone beasts in the future.

"Then what are you going to give to everyone?" Qi Huan became more and more curious.

Jiufang Yu's frosty eyelashes curved softly, "The medical equipment at the base is too old, so I bought a batch of higher-end equipment from the Si family, and then seconded a group of medical personnel. When they arrive, I plan to give all residents of the waste planet a free physical examination. On the one hand, those with symptoms can be treated as soon as possible, and on the other hand, we can also give everyone a mental strength test."

Residents of other star fields can participate in free tests provided by the alliance when they reach adulthood, even if they do not have the conditions to test their mental strength. However, the natives of the abandoned star are like aliens abandoned outside the alliance and have no chance to enjoy such benefits.

"Then...are there any other researchers?" Qi Huan suddenly remembered what he had mentioned to him before.

Jiufang Yu nodded without hesitation, "Some people will study the environmental energy value of the waste planet. If you agree, they will also observe and study your condition on the spot. If you disagree, just ignore them."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little hesitant about this matter and haven't thought about it yet." Qi Huan lowered his head and poked the crystal-like curved corner of the black ball, not daring to look at Jiu Fangyu.

"Don't apologize. Your opinion should have been the priority. If you have any concerns, you can always ask me."

"Free physical examination is one gift, is there a second one?" Qi Huan avoided the topic a little bit.

Jiufang Yu's eyes flashed with an indulgent smile, and his eyebrows raised slightly, "Keep it secret for now."

"What about the third one?" Qi Huan asked.

The third one? Jiufang Yu frowned slightly and shook his head, "I only prepared two."

"That won't do. A new official has three things to do when he takes office. How about I get one for you?" Qi Huan volunteered.
