"The leader ran away; we couldn't find him."
Fang Xiyue described what she saw in that bar to Chu Xingyan.
Chu Xingyan felt that something was amiss. Their operation was highly secretive, and it was impossible for that person to have received advance notice and escape.
Unless there's a mole within his ranks, he doesn't want to suspect his brothers and partners, but now...
"Okay, I'll talk about it after I've made up my mind. First, lock up these new recruits."
Chu Xingyan didn't say much, nor did he reveal his suspicions; some things needed to be investigated in secret.
He shook Fang Xiyue's hand, then went back to his work.
As Fang Xiyue watched everyone binding the new recruits, she wondered if she would have to untie them one by one when she needed to use them later.
Isn't that a bit too much trouble?!
[Fang Xiyue: Is there any way to put monitoring devices on them so that they can be eliminated immediately if they engage in any behavior that harms humans?]
We still need to take some measures to deal with these new recruits, including the group of new recruits we captured earlier.
No one can guarantee that they won't make a mistake, and it will be difficult to deal with if they take advantage of the situation.
It would be great if we had instruments that could monitor them at all times.
Of course, there are surveillance wristbands available. They cost 5 crystal cores each, but spending 150,000 crystal cores on them isn't worthwhile, so it's better not to buy them.
The system's words were exactly what Fang Xiyue was thinking. Why waste 150,000 crystal cores on these people? 150,000 crystal cores could buy several bottles of ability upgrade liquid.
[Host, you could actually have Chu Xingyan buy a few more bottles of psychic ability awakening fluid, then someone could become a living surveillance agent, right?]
The system suddenly came up with a great idea and happily started circling around in place.
[Host, I've been consuming crystal cores lately, and I'll be leveling up to level 3 soon. Once I reach level 3, I can exchange for the designated ability awakening fluid.]
Fang Xiyue was indeed pleasantly surprised to hear this news.
Having a designated ability awakening fluid would certainly be a good thing. Although the price would be higher, many people would definitely choose it.
As long as you find some very trustworthy people and give them a psychic ability awakening liquid, they can be used as living surveillance agents.
Of course, this also depends on personal willingness; they cannot be forced to do so if they are unwilling.
[Fang Xiyue: Tongzi, keep grinding the crystal cores. Let's try to reach level 3 as soon as possible.]
Fang Xiyue couldn't wait to launch the new products at the Superpower Pavilion.
[Alright, host, I expect to level up tonight, the time is still 12 hours, so I won't notify you.]
After the system finished speaking, it started chewing on the crystal cores again. In fact, if it had high-level crystal cores, it wouldn't need to chew on so many crystal cores at all.
Just like before, it leveled up to level 2 after eating a level 3 crystal core. If you give it a level 4 crystal core, it can level up to level 3.
However, this condition is not available now, so we can only use first-level crystal cores to make up the numbers.
It needs to consume 1000 level 1 crystal cores, but it's too small to consume that many in a day.
With this good news, Fang Xiyue was no longer worried.
At 2 p.m., the 30,000 new recruits were all tied up and locked in the bar, with guards standing around them.
[Ding! Beginner Post-Apocalyptic Mission 23 complete. Rewards have been issued. Please check your account.]
Great, I've received the ability replenishment fluid.
Now that the mission here is complete, Fang Xiyue should lead her team back to reunite with Battalion Commander Zhao and the others.
Of course, everyone needs to have lunch first; you can't just work without eating.
The weather is warm now, so everyone went straight back to the rooftop and each had a boxed lunch.
After settling his brothers in, Chu Xingyan went to the rooftop to see Fang Xiyue's parents.
As soon as the door to the rooftop was opened, Fang Xiyue was surrounded by three outstanding men.
They were all handsome without exception. Although they had different styles, he, as a man, could tell they were all good-looking.
He had met Su Zheyu and Jun Nanxuan before, and he had also met Ye Zimo before, but he hadn't thought much about it.
Fang Xiyue smiled and waved for him to come over when she heard the voice. The three men were all looking at him, their eyes filled with hostility.
However, he also knew that with Yueyue around, they wouldn't be able to do anything, so they could only endure it.
He'd like to have a friendly competition with them when Yueyue is busy in the future.
Chu Xingyan was not a person who was good with words, even in front of the elders of the Fang family.
He tried very hard to answer the elders' questions and also tried his best to maintain a smile.
“Child, if you don’t want to laugh, then don’t. Your laughter is making Grandma a little uneasy.”
Grandma Fang couldn't stand that eerie smile any longer, so she quickly spoke up.
Then Chu Xingyan's smile vanished instantly.
"Hey, this looks much better, this is so handsome."
Grandma Fang clapped her hands to praise Chu Xingyan, her face contorted with laughter.
Su Zheyu mocked Chu Xingyan behind their backs, trying his best to keep quiet.
Ye Ziming sat next to Fang Xiyue, silently praising his previous performance as a perfect 10.
Jun Nanxuan, on the other hand, was wondering if he had been as stiff and awkward as Chu Xingyan before.
"None of you need to be nervous. We are not unenlightened parents. As long as you treat us well every month, we will not interfere with you."
We won't live with Yueyue; we'll give you your privacy. You can come visit us occasionally and have a family meal with us.
Looking at the five children in front of her, Grandma Fang said earnestly, "No parent doesn't want their child to have a good life."
If so, they must be heartless parents.
"Grandma, don't worry, we will definitely treat Yueyue well."
Ye Ziming made the first promise, and then the other three followed suit.
Although Chu Xingyan wasn't good at saying nice things, he nodded along.
The meal ended with everyone chatting happily.
Fang Xiyue arranged for Chu Xingyan to use a crystal coin carrier and installed a location teleportation program, because she knew that Chu Xingyan would not be leaving with her for the time being.
He has his own career, and she certainly can't confine him to the small world around her.
She gave Chu Xingyan the superpower awakening fluid, a perk that every husband gets—superpower awakening fluid or superpower upgrade fluid.
Chu Xingyan clearly needs the ability awakening fluid. He has a mental ability, which he uses more often to monitor the entire scene.
Therefore, having an extra superpower would be more useful to him, while the ordinary superpower upgrade potion is useless to him since he has already reached level two.
Fang Xiyue also left him 5 bottles of superpower replenishment liquid. Of course, in order not to be biased, she also gave 5 bottles to each of the other three husbands.
Her family members also contributed, each giving her five bottles. She herself received five bottles, and Song Yifan also gave her five bottles.
Let's save the rest for now, just in case.
She also spoke privately with Chu Xingyan about the designated ability-awakening liquid, so that he could control the new recruits.
Chu Xingyan pulled Fang Xiyue into his arms and kissed her forehead. "Yueyue, thank you."
