Chapter 237 Clearing Suspicion & [Little Bear Biscuits]

Zhao Shuying answered without hesitation: "Settling the profits is no problem at all. We haven't touched it. But I need to report on the matter mentioned earlier."

After stating her position clearly and concisely, she asked, "Did someone in our department upset you?"

"No," Yu Xunge still reminded her, "It's related to the control of blank crystals."

Zhao Shuying's expression instantly turned serious. Was the matter really that serious? Or was it because Yu Xunge was too cautious that the cooperation was terminated?

Soon, the reply came from above: Yu Xunge's request was granted, and the blank crystals sent to Yu Xunge in early September would be considered a gift to Yu Xunge and would not be deducted from her income.

Zhao Shuying took out the account book and showed it to Yu Xunge.

She signed a contract with the Special Affairs Bureau last December. Every month, she would give the Special Affairs Bureau 60 to 80 skill crystals. Sometimes, Yu Xunge was too busy and would inevitably forget to make skill crystals on time.

In less than nine months, she had submitted a total of 596 skill crystals.

The accounts not only show the selling price, but also the selling time.

Many resources that cannot be divided—such as instance usage time and short-term borrowing of special players—will be converted into dragon-shaped coins.

The final reward was 812 dragon coins plus 1727 gold coins.

This profit was much greater than Yu Xunge had anticipated.

After she signed the account, the proceeds were immediately sent to her email.

Zhao Shuying handed over a large bag of dragon-shaped coins: "Let's round it up for you. You already had over a thousand before, didn't you? With this one, we'll make it two thousand for you. This is the Special Affairs Bureau's way of thanking you for being willing to fulfill the contract ahead of schedule. Please count them."

Yu Xunge put away all the dragon-shaped coins and gold coins right in front of Zhao Shuying.

Instantly, the name [Yu Xun Ge] entered the top 100 of the wealth list.

With 1727 gold coins plus the 88 gold coins she already had, she had a total of 1815 gold coins, which put her right into the top ninety—even though her gold coin amount was only a fraction of what the person at the top of the wealth list had.

At this time, Huaxia Channel also became lively.

These various lists are the trending topics of our time, and even the slightest change can spark heated discussions.

Moreover, ever since the wealth of the top-ranked person on the wealth list surpassed 80,000 in the early hours of this morning, the topics on the World Channel and China Channel have been revolving around the wealth list.

This is something Yu Xunge is happy to see. The more people see her existing alongside the top of the wealth list, the safer she feels. She believes that data analysts will not miss this moment of change.

This is not only about her hiding her wealth, but also about whether the Su family will associate her with the theft of her gold once the method of exchanging gold for coins becomes known.

Zhao Shuying had obviously noticed the wealth list as well. Her gaze lingered on a certain spot for a moment, but her expression remained unchanged. If Yu Xunge hadn't been paying close attention, she would have missed it.

She took out a prop and soundproofed the surroundings before signaling to Yu Xunge that she could speak.

Yu Xunge didn't mince words: "You need to become goblins and go find the goblins in Zelan. Goblins have a skill called gold casting. They can cast a gold coin from 120g of gold. As long as you offer enough of the price difference, they will be willing to exchange the gold coin for gold with you."

"The gold coins I exchanged for the Special Affairs Bureau before were all from goblins in the major cities, but most goblins live in nearby towns or villages. Although they are not as wealthy as the goblins in the major cities, there are more of them, and it is not easy for your people to be discovered when they go to towns to exchange them."

After saying all that, Yu Xunge also told Zhao Shuying about some of the goblin customs, etiquette, and beliefs.

Goblins may love gold coins, but they don't worship gold coins. You can insult gold coins or despise wealth in front of them, but you can't waste their time.

Even if you explain your purpose and then engage in lengthy negotiations with them, you can't say anything useless, or they'll feel like you're wasting their time.

Wasting the goblins' time is tantamount to robbing them, a heinous crime.

When a goblin gets angry, his favorite thing to do is rush over, grab your head, forehead to forehead, and yell at you—"You scum, look me in the eye! Tell me! Do you even know that time is money?!"

Zhao Shuying carefully recorded Yu Xunge's words. These were all experiences that Yu Xunge had gained from dealing with goblins. Judging from the pained look on Yu Xunge's face as he spoke, one could only imagine how much blood, sweat, and tears he had endured.

After both parties fulfilled the contract, Yu Xunge asked Zhao Shuying if she had brought the exchange book, as she wanted to spend the money—mainly because there was a time limit for [speaking on the main account], and she didn't feel comfortable keeping the money with a virtual character indefinitely.

Without saying a word, Zhao Shuying took out two booklets, one for exchanging gold coins and the other for exchanging dragon-shaped coins.

After reading the table of contents, Yu Xunge first opened the section on "Unknown Items".

She wanted to see if the Special Affairs Bureau had found "Mahjong".

But after flipping through more than twenty pages, she still hadn't seen it.

Yu Xunge wasn't exactly disappointed, since she wouldn't have valued the first mahjong tile she got if it hadn't been stolen from Mist Blade Moon Emperor.

Because there was no explanation whatsoever, even investigation couldn't reveal anything, not even a single question mark...

The only special thing about it is that it cannot be damaged and the pattern on it is rather unique. That's all. It's hard for anyone to pay attention to it.

Zhao Shuying also noticed that Yu Xunge's quick flipping through the pages was clearly purposeful, so she asked, "What are you looking for? If you'd like, you can describe it, and we'll keep an eye out for you in the future."

At that moment, Yu Xunge suddenly understood why Mist Blade Moon Emperor had tried to "kill" her without hesitation when she said she wanted to know what this thing was.

If something that seems ordinary is actually a rare treasure, the best option is to keep it hidden rather than let more people know about its value and existence.

Even if the cost of doing so is that you need to spend more time and energy to find it, it is better than disturbing the calm lake and attracting powerful people to enter, which in turn attracts more uninformed people to join in the scramble, and ultimately it is very likely to trigger a war.

Yu Xunge shook his head: "I just heard that thing is very important, so I wanted to see if I could find it, but I couldn't."

This meant he didn't want to talk about it, so Zhao Shuying wisely lowered her head and ate her food without pressing him further.

Yu Xunge searched for a long time before finding something she had almost forgotten—1214875 bear-shaped cookies (unknown).

There are quite a few of them, and they are marked as "unknown," which means that once players get their hands on this item, everything else except its name is a question mark. They can't even tell whether it's food, an item, or a rare object.

But Yu Xunge knew what it was.
