"Hmm, how much is Five Star Company planning to offer?"

While Xia Chuhe was integrating the "You Must Listen Well" microphone into the farm, he was also inquiring about the price of the dungeon core.

The butler had no doubts: "The acquisition price of a dungeon core ranges from five million to one hundred million, depending on its specific function. Most are around twenty million, and the highest price I've ever received is one hundred million."

Xia Chuhe continued to inquire about the main reasons affecting the price.

It turns out that dungeon cores and special abilities are similar, each with different functions. Generally, powerful attack or defense abilities are more expensive, while support abilities are cheaper.

The farm's instructions for you to listen to the microphone are as follows—

As the name suggests, the person who hears the microphone will act according to the microphone owner's instructions (only effective if the listener's bottom line is not crossed), lasting for 1 minute, with a cooldown of 24 hours.

While the microphone function is powerful, it has a long cooldown time and significant limitations.

Judging from its function alone, it is a dungeon core of average quality. Xia Chuhe decided to convert it into an average price of 20 million and give it to others.

After calculating the price, Xia Chuhe patted his behind and prepared to leave.

housekeeper:……

So all that talk was for nothing.

The butler tried his best to persuade her to stay: "Miss Xia, Five Star Company is willing to acquire the core of the copy at a price higher than the market price."

Xia Chuhe replied dismissively, "Oh, I sold it to someone else. They offered a higher price."

The farm has said it offers permanent usage rights, and the fusion effect looks quite good.

The butler persisted: "Where are you going? I'll take you there."

Xia Chuhe looked at Lu Dangui and Li Qiusheng: "Colored Stone Base?"

Both of them were fine and got into the car with Xia Chuhe to go back to the Caishi base.

The underground passage must be kept quiet so the butler has no chance to cause trouble.

Bon Voyage.

However, Xia Chuhe encountered some problems during the security check that was required to enter the base.

Once the guard 0517 recognized Xia Chuhe, he pointed a gun at Xia Chuhe with one hand and pulled out specially made handcuffs with the other: "Your identity is questionable. You need to come with us."

Xia Chuhe: ...Has my identity as a transmigrator been discovered so quickly?

The guards who were watching the commotion glanced over and saw that the driver of the car Xia Chuhe had just gotten out of was actually the butler.

He subtly nudged 0517, who irritated himself and took a step to the side, still pointing his gun at Xia Chuhe, his face full of impatience.

The housekeeper parked the car and walked over to Xia Chuhe.

0517 gave the butler a fawning smile: "Mr. Guan, please. I have official business to attend to here. Sorry for the intrusion."

The butler didn't even glance at the guards; he respectfully asked Xia Chuhe, "Miss Xia, what problem have you encountered?"

0517's expression changed, and his hand holding the gun began to tremble uncontrollably.

Xia Chuhe kindly helped him hold the gun steady: "Hold it firmly, don't let it go off accidentally."

0517 trembled, unsure whether to hold onto the gun or drop it. He managed to stammer, "Thank you... thank you, Miss Xia."

The guards nearby couldn't bear to watch any longer, so they snatched the gun from him and said with a forced smile, "Miss Xia, please forgive him. His eyesight isn't good; he mistook you for someone else. Please come in."

After the butler and Xia Chuhe and the others had walked away, 0517 looked miserable: "Did I offend someone important? Is my life over? Will I never have a chance to get promoted again?"

His colleague scolded him: "You idiot! I told you not to be greedy for Yan San'er's money, but you wouldn't listen!"

...

The butler asked Xia Chuhe, "Miss Xia, did you offend anyone at the Caishi Base?"

"No way." Xia Chuhe frowned slightly, recalling the poisonous mushroom incident at Sister Li's food store. "There might have been one, I think his name was Yan San? I don't know why he targeted me."

The butler nodded: "Miss Xia, please wait a moment."

The housekeeper found a contact person and briefly explained the situation of Xia Chuhe and Yan San.

In less than a minute, the man stripped Yan San'er from the Caishi Base and Shi Jianhe from the Beihu Base down to their underwear, even revealing that the two had shared a nutrient solution when they were guards.

The housekeeper explained to Xia Chuhe, "It seems that your identification as a mutant by the North Tiger Base was considered a mistake by the person in charge, and Shi Jianhe, the person in charge, was punished for it. In order to get revenge on you, he contacted his old friend Yan San'er, which is why Yan San'er has been causing you trouble."

After hearing this convoluted relationship, Xia Chuhe was completely speechless.

Instead of reflecting on their own shortcomings, they blamed her, the victim, for their poor performance.

He has a little power, but instead of doing his job properly, he repeatedly trips up complete strangers.

These two leaders are a perfect match.

Seeing Xia Chuhe's disgusted expression, the butler said considerately, "Miss Xia, don't worry, Five Star Company can easily deal with these two."

Xia Chuhe declined the butler's offer: "I'll find a way to handle it. The core of the dungeon has really been sold to someone else."

The butler smiled and said, "It's alright. Consider it a token of our sincerity in cooperating with Pentagon. We hope that Miss Xia can establish a long-term partnership with Pentagon."

Xia Chuhe smiled but did not give a direct response.

Her relationship with the housekeeper was somewhat complicated; it wasn't just the housekeeper asking her for cooperation, but she also needed his help.

Xia Chuhe took out a few peacock feathers: "I also got a little something in the dungeon, I'll give it to you."

The butler was flattered but declined, saying, "It's my job to serve you; you don't need to spend money on me."

"Take it. Your cufflinks are beautiful. I'd like to know where you bought them." Xia Chuhe shook the beautiful and dazzling peacock feathers. "You know, girls are always interested in shiny things like that."

“My clothes are all provided by the company. Since Miss Xia is interested, I will ask about it for you when I get back.” The butler accepted the peacock feather.

Xia Chuhe tidied her hair, and inadvertently dropped the sachet containing the magic seeds.

"Oops, I dropped something."

Xia Chuhe slowly picked up the sachet, deliberately revealing the rice seedling and snowflake pattern embroidered on it.

The butler's eyes flickered, and he fell a step behind Xia Chuhe.

He noticed a stray hair stuck to Xia Chuhe's clothes.

The housekeeper glanced at Lu Dangui and Li Qiusheng without making a sound, and after confirming that they weren't looking this way, she deftly and quickly picked up the strand of hair.
