Chapter 16: Metaphysical Methods of Distinguishing Loyalty from Treachery

This time, Xu Qianqian, contrary to her usual behavior, did not reveal the information to Su Ming as she did before, as if she was ignorant of the world.

"This matter has nothing to do with this mission. It is my personal matter. I will handle it myself."

After Xu Qianqian said this with a very cold expression, she no longer mentioned the sneak attack on her.

Although Su Ming did not care, he could tell from Xu Qianqian's cold expression that this was not something that could be spoken casually.

So Su Ming didn't care anymore.

"Anyway, it's you who got attacked, not me. I don't care."

Su Ming's response was even more straight than that of a straight man.

Xu Qianqian didn't care and seemed to really not intend to let Su Ming get involved in this matter.

She just wanted Su Ming to get involved in her mission.

"Because of the sneak attack, I probably can't move freely now. Otherwise, I will be targeted by the sneak attacker hiding in the dark and may lose my life at any time." Xu Qianqian said to Su Ming: "So, I can only entrust this task to someone I can trust."

This is why Xu Qianqian needs help.

"Wait." Su Ming interrupted Xu Qianqian and looked at her in surprise and strangeness, saying, "You mean I am the trustworthy person you chose?"

"What's wrong?" Xu Qianqian tilted her head and asked doubtfully, "Is there any problem?"

"This is a big problem!" Su Ming said bluntly, "Senior, I think we are not that familiar with each other, right?"

If those rough guys in the Demon Hunting Academy heard Xu Qianqian's remarks, they would probably be so ecstatic that they would lose their minds and would not hesitate to risk their lives for Xu Qianqian.

But Su Ming was not Xu Qianqian's bootlicker, nor was he her friend, let alone a friendship. Before this, the two had never even spoken a word to each other.

Under such circumstances, Xu Qianqian actually said that he was a trustworthy person and entrusted him with important tasks personally entrusted by the senior leaders of the base city? It made no sense!

Not to mention. "Didn't you ever wonder why I was here that night, and why I was dressed like those suspicious people?"

Su Ming pointed this out.

In his opinion, it was not surprising at all that he was suspected of being an accomplice of that suspicious group, let alone being worthy of Xu Qianqian's trust.

Just based on the fact that I appeared here inexplicably that night, others have ample reason to doubt my identity.

In addition, Su Ming had hidden his strength, and this matter was already known to Xu Qianqian. It would have been fine if the eldest daughter of the Xu family did not doubt her, but she actually said that she was a trustworthy person?

Isn't this bullshit?

But when Su Ming was thinking this, Xu Qianqian's reply in the next second made him dumbfounded.

"I told you, you can fool others but not me." Xu Qianqian stared straight at Su Ming and said, "If you were really an evil person, your smell wouldn't be so strong and pure."

It took Su Ming a long time to understand that the taste Xu Qianqian mentioned was his own blood.

"My blood is thick and pure, so I am not evil?"

Su Ming was simply unable to understand the logic of this sentence.

Xu Qianqian didn't seem to intend to explain, she just whispered: "I don't know who I can trust now. I always feel that the people around me will plot against me like the people who attacked me that night. Only you, I can be sure that you are not that kind of person."

Now, Su Ming finally understood.

It seems that this female vampire has no one else to trust and entrust her with, so she came to me, right?

Su Ming was also stunned.

Of course, the biggest reason why Xu Qianqian would look for Su Ming was that Su Ming’s strength was seriously inconsistent with the rumors.

This task is not easy. Even if it is just an investigation, facing a suspicious group with considerable power and its supporters, it is impossible without a certain degree of strength.

Although Xu Qianqian didn't know Su Ming's true strength, she had already recognized him and believed that his strength was no less than hers.

As a result, coupled with Xu Qianqian's untrustworthy status and her profound metaphysical way of distinguishing between loyalty and treachery, the school beauty finally chose Su Ming.

"That's roughly what happened." Xu Qianqian finished her explanation and said, "Can you help me?"

As she spoke, Xu Qianqian couldn't help but cast an expectant look at Su Ming.

To be honest, there is no man who can remain indifferent when seeing this look.

Su Ming was the same. He just felt a little flattered by being looked at, and had a feeling that no one else could do it but him.

Not for any other reason, but simply because the one who was looking at him like this was the famous beauty in the Demon Hunting Academy, the goddess in the hearts of all the students.

Fortunately, Su Ming did not lose his mind because of this.

"Are you sure this is just an investigation?"

Su Ming touched his chin and suddenly asked Xu Qianqian this question.

"I'm sure." Xu Qianqian seemed to have sensed something, and she nodded involuntarily, saying, "If it's not just an investigation, this task is not something that people of our level can handle."

This is related to the game between the top leaders of the base city. If the mission was not limited to investigation, this mission would never be entrusted to the trainees.

Even if she really had to assign such a task to a student, Xu Qianqian would never delegate such an important task to someone else.

The reason why this can be done is that the game between the top leaders of Base City has just begun, and this investigation mission is just an appetizer before the dispute comes.

"If that's the case, it's not impossible to do something about it."

Su Ming's eyes flickered slightly.

Yes.

He did have some ideas.

"You agree?"

Xu Qianqian quickly confirmed.

"Don't be too happy too soon." Su Ming poured cold water on Xu Qianqian and said, "It's not impossible for me to help you, but I have conditions."

"You say." Xu Qianqian spoke succinctly, with a sense of grandeur that came from being wealthy and able to set any terms.

Su Ming immediately put forward his conditions to Xu Qianqian.

"First, I can help you investigate that suspicious group, but you can't tell anyone about this, including those high-ranking officials in Base City who entrusted you with the mission."

This is Su Ming’s first condition.

"Why?"

Xu Qianqian was a little confused.

She had no other thoughts, but felt that if Su Ming really helped her so much, then she would definitely help Su Ming win credit in front of the top leaders of the base city, so that the top leaders of the base city would give Su Ming generous rewards and attention.

In this way, Su Ming's future path may become smooth because of this.

This is something that others cannot ask for.

As a result, Su Ming asked to keep it secret. How could Xu Qianqian not feel strange?

But Su Ming did not explain to Xu Qianqian.

"Anyway, I have my reasons. Just tell me whether it can be done or not."

Su Ming's attitude was very firm.

Xu Qianqian frowned. Although she found it hard to accept, she did not refute.

Since I don't want any credit or fame, it would be redundant for me to say or do more.

Seeing Xu Qianqian fell silent, Su Ming ignored her and spoke again.

"Secondly, I hope you won't tell anyone about my personal affairs, whether it's that I've hidden my strength or the intersection between you and me in this incident."

The second condition proposed by Su Ming was still related to his own concealment.

Xu Qianqian really wanted to ask why they did this.

However, Xu Qianqian did not ask in the end.

Just like Su Ming said, he had his reasons.

If he doesn't want to say something, he won't answer even if you ask him.

Didn't I tell him about the sneak attack? Maybe he also has some unspeakable secrets? However (he is really different from others.) Xu Qianqian silently had such thoughts in her heart.

In the past, those who appeared beside Xu Qianqian and tried hard to get close to her all wanted to take advantage of her status to become famous, and wanted to use her status to gain more attention and benefits? Especially those men, I am afraid that they were not only attracted by Xu Qianqian's appearance, but also by her family background.

These people all wanted to show off their strength and value in front of Xu Qianqian. How could they be like Su Ming, who was trying to avoid her and reduce her exposure? The problem was, what good would it be for him to help her investigate the suspicious group? When Xu Qianqian had this idea, the next moment, Su Ming told her in person what benefit he wanted to get from this matter.

"Third, I need you to help me with some cargo."

Su Ming then proposed his last condition

"goods?"

Xu Qianqian was stunned.

"Some extraordinary items." Su Ming explained to Xu Qianqian: "I have some things that need to be dealt with, that is, to be sold, but I don't want too many people to notice them, so I want you to handle the goods I have on hand for a long time and exchange them for things of equivalent value, whether it is the materials on the phantom demon or other extraordinary items."

This is the condition that is truly beneficial to Su Ming.

Su Ming has always had a headache about how to deal with the various items he opened from the package.

Some of those things are useful to Su Ming, but some are of no use to Su Ming and can only be hoarded in his backpack.

Su Ming really wanted to sell these things and exchange them for things of equivalent value, so that he could exchange these things for chips and use them to open packages.

Although it is possible that the items opened from the package can be thrown into the mall and exchanged for chips, for items that can be recycled by the mall, the mall will only give out chips that match the value of the item itself.

On the contrary, if they are sold on the market, their value will be increased beyond their own value based on factors such as the rarity, circulation rate, demand, quality of the products, etc.

In this way, Su Ming's goods will be worth a lot more.

And if Su Ming used the money he got from the sales to purchase other extraordinary items, he could exchange them for chips in large quantities.

This is undoubtedly a very favorable deal for Su Ming.

However, given Su Ming's personality, it would be impossible for him not to attract the attention of someone if he sold a large number of expensive supernatural items.

Therefore, Su Ming has not been able to realize this idea all along.

Until today, the opportunity finally came.
