Chapter 203 [Thirty Thousand]?

Like a hyperactive child, Yu Xunge put away the [Grumpy Moon] and then took out the compass, lovingly stroking the treasure and unable to resist kissing it.

Tell me, what kind of angelic artifact is this?!

It's only E-level? She felt sorry for it.

She carefully took out the compass and hung it on her pocket watch. It was better to leave this thing out in the open; she might have missed out on quite a few treasures before…

The location chosen by the Special Affairs Bureau was indeed a dead zone. Yu Xunge thought that even if it was a dead zone, there would definitely be strange beasts that liked this kind of environment living and settling there. However, he did not expect that there were really no large strange beasts nearby.

To avoid encountering sirens during her exploration and being discovered by alien races that there were Earthlings here, Yu Xunge deliberately touched a jellyfish in preparation for transforming into a deep-sea creature before taking action. In doing so, she was poisoned. Before she could find an antidote, Tu Lan threw an "Expert" card at her.

Then she transformed into a jellyfish and climbed onto Tulan's head, letting her carry her around.

The man and the dragon deliberately circled the area several times, and any sea creatures with a bit of strength and intelligence would avoid them in advance if they sensed the dragon's presence.

The compass lit up several times during this period, and Yu Xunge and Tu Lan went to dig excitedly, but they didn't find anything good.

One time they dug up a level 3 green boot, another time they only dug up a gold coin, and the last time they dug up a beast bone. Tulan smelled it and said it was definitely no more than level 10.

Yu Xunge fiddled with the compass and realized that there was a reason why it was rated E.

This prop may have high moral standards, but it has low vision...

You deserve what you deserve.

Yu Xunge took out the tortoise-shaped jade stone, threw a coin on it, and then continued to dig around following the compass. This time, his luck was indeed significantly improved. Sometimes the compass would point back and forth in two directions, and Yu Xunge would follow his instincts. The things he dug up were obviously more valuable.

There were animal bones that could be used to make high-level potions, a small bag of gold coins, tattered blue armor, and skeletons with rings on their bodies...

As she continued digging, she unexpectedly unearthed another "mahjong tile"—the "Three of Characters"!

This time, however, it wasn't owl script, but necromancy, with every stroke resembling a skeleton.

It still has the texture of white jade, and feels cool to the touch, like touching a piece of ice.

She placed this "mahjong tile" next to the one she had stolen from Fogblade, and nothing happened.

But regardless of size or material, these two "mahjong tiles" seem to be the same type...

Yu Xunge put the newly dug-up coin, the "30,000," and the "6 of Bamboo" into a small box and put them away.

Even if she can't discern the significance of something that Mist Blade carries with her, she would never underestimate it.

Six hours later, the cooldown of [Jia Lai!] ended, and she could enter As City.

Yu Xunge hesitated for a moment, but still chose to put the compass back in his backpack.

If she keeps this thing outside, and it lights up, as long as she remembers how she found the "Raging Moon" with its guidance, she can't help but go looking for it...

She searched and dug with great effort, only to find trash. She was upset.

But not searching makes her even more miserable! What if it's another A+ or even S-rank item? Like the Foolish Sun, the Melancholy Star, or something like that.

Blue Star is alright. Over the years, houses have been built on Blue Star, and the ground has been excavated several times. There are basically no unclaimed items. She only gradually ignored it because she didn't see the compass light up.

But in Zelan... putting aside the question of how many unclaimed treasures there are on the land of Zelan, she usually has something to do every time she comes to Zelan, and she doesn't have enough time to spare. She can't possibly interrupt her plans every now and then just to search for treasure.

It's best to stop now; getting the [Raging Moon] is already quite satisfying.

From now on, we'll see what fate brings. Just like today, luck will guide her in the dark.

Or perhaps one day when she has time, she will use the tortoise-shaped jade to improve her fortune, and then spend a whole day digging at the bottom of the sea.

Yu Xunge always felt that her greatest strength was her self-control. After putting away the compass, she swam towards As City with Tu Lan.

Although As City is the main city of the Sirens, one-third of As City is in a waterless state because they also need to interact with the other eleven alien races, providing a place for ordinary merchants to conduct business and live.

Previously, when Yu Xunge couldn't withstand the pressure of the deep sea, he exchanged gold coins with goblins in the waterless area.

Thinking about the gold coins, Yu Xunge planned to finish visiting all the remaining main cities in the next few days and exchange all the gold he could for. After he had tricked Yu Xunhuan into giving him the Black Jade, he would tell the Special Affairs Bureau in advance how to exchange gold for gold coins.

Her strength has been initially developed, and she has passed the most dangerous and vulnerable stage. She no longer needs to worry that the Special Affairs Bureau will rapidly expand its strength to the point that she cannot cope with it after it has enough gold coins.

There's no need to worry about the Special Affairs Bureau using gold coins to buy skills or items that can find S-level talents in China. This is not only because she has an S-level pocket watch to protect her, but also because even if the Special Affairs Bureau discovers that her talent is not only B-level, or if they turn against her for some reason, she is confident that she can escape unscathed.

Call her selfish or cold-blooded, but her core principle is always to protect herself first, and then consider everything else.

Her talent meant that once exposed, she would be universally hated, and it was no use in explaining that most of her attributes were stolen from other races.

Explanations are futile; sometimes, having something that others lack is the original sin.

Moreover, she did indeed harm Yu Xunhuan and other Blue Star people. To those who were unaware of the truth, how cold-blooded, ruthless, and heartless she was!

Yu Xunge had originally agreed with the Special Affairs Bureau in the contract to tell them the method of exchanging gold for gold coins one year later, which was this December. Now, by telling the Special Affairs Bureau in advance, she could not only leave a good impression on them, but also take the opportunity to negotiate some terms.

She was satisfied with the Special Affairs Bureau's attitude towards her, but this attitude was the result of her own planning and strong power, which involved her dealings with them in a series of ways, whether tough or gentle: when to give in, when to weigh the gains and losses, when to be generous, and when to play dumb.

Even her reluctance to collect the profits from "So Happy Again" was a very subtle way of expressing her trust in the Special Affairs Bureau. Of course, the main reason was that she didn't want to frequently go to the Special Affairs Bureau to conduct face-to-face transactions with them, as the Special Affairs Bureau was a bit too responsible in this regard.

Unlike her usual one-on-one transactions with Zhao Shuying, this kind of transaction between an individual and the Special Affairs Bureau, which involved more complex details, required her to go to the Special Affairs Bureau in person to clarify and process the transaction. She also had to sign to prove that she had seen the accounts, and after receiving the gold coins, she had to sign again to prove that she had received them…

It always feels like the Special Affairs Bureau is full of problems.
