"So, you agreed?" Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes.
“If I refuse, given her abilities and the changes that have occurred in various places recently, she will investigate places she shouldn’t!” Liu Zhaodi picked up a glass of deep red wine and swirled it gently.
"So, you've been under surveillance all this time?" Jiang Yuan probed.
"More or less!" Liu Zhaodi nodded.
"What about the matter I asked you to handle? How is it progressing?" Jiang Yuan was more concerned about the Heavenly Eye. This thing was the foundation of his livelihood. If he could return to it sooner, he would have more confidence in facing many powerful enemies.
“Aside from the known list, there are still about twenty shortfalls!” Liu Zhaodi had memorized all this data and answered Jiang Yuan’s question directly. “However, some of them have already been used, so you’ll probably have to go and retrieve them yourself!”
"That's easy. Just give me the list, and I'll handle it myself!" Jiang Yuan knew this was a difficult matter, so he had to personally go and retrieve the insights that had already been used.
"Okay, I'll arrange it as soon as possible!"
Jiang Yuan felt sorry for Liu Zhaodi when he saw how tired she looked, and said in a voice transmission, "Don't overwork yourself. If things are difficult with the Companion God, don't worry about it. I'll handle it myself from now on!"
"It's alright, my sister's situation is temporarily resolved. After all, the academy produced such a beautiful and talented woman a few days ago, so she's been quite busy!" Liu Zhaodi said, taking a small sip and nodding slightly. "This little beauty is as pure as this wine, though I don't know if you've tried it!"
Jiang Yuan: "..."
His first thought was that Liu Zhaodi was jealous!
"Try it!" Liu Zhaodi pushed the wine she had just taken a sip toward me.
"Men and women should not touch each other. I am not such a casual person!" Jiang Yuan decisively pushed the wine back. Although he said that men and women should not drink together, his words were actually a way of proving his innocence.
"There are countless fine wines, but how can you know if they taste good or not without taking a sip!"
Liu Zhaodi was clearly determined to argue with him, and pushed the wine back to him.
Jiang Yuan was in a real bind. He knew that if he didn't make a statement today, he would have a hard time getting past Liu Zhaodi. He picked up his wine glass, looked at it several times, and still hesitated before drinking it.
However, being a seasoned pro, he quickly poured the wine into the empty glass he had just finished drinking from, then held up the glass with a lipstick mark on it and said affectionately, "I don't need the wine, having you in this life is enough!"
"Huh?" Liu Zhaodi hadn't reacted yet.
"Boss lady, another drink, I'll just have this cup!" Jiang Yuan's expression was serious, no longer showing any trace of his usual frivolity.
It took Liu Zhaodi a while to understand the pun. She scolded, "You're all talk and no action. Be careful you don't get kicked out by some woman again!"
"This isn't just smooth talk, it's a genuine expression of emotion!" Jiang Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and shouted towards the bar, "Fill up the drinks! I'm going to drink with this lady until we drop!"
This place can barely be considered a place where one can openly express their true feelings.
"Drinking with me? I don't have time for you, you little ghost. Remember to pay the bill!"
Liu Zhaodi's eyes shone with a different light. After finishing the wine in the new glass, she smiled and left.
Watching Liu Zhaodi's dashing figure as she left, Jiang Yuan felt a deep pity; he had made this girl wait for too long.
"One cup of Deep Sea Ice Blaze, one cup of Summer Osmanthus, and the Amber Dream in your hand, that's three cups for a total of thirty rule fragments. Oh, and there's a tip too, give me what you think is appropriate!"
Before Jiang Yuan could react, a tomboy emerged from the back of the bar. However, judging from her aura, she was a woman. The tomboy's tone of voice clearly indicated that she was either a waitress or the owner of the bar.
"What the hell?" Jiang Yuan was stunned. What was this fragment of rules?
"No way, no one really wants to drink here for free!" the tomboy said sarcastically.
Jiang Yuan subconsciously turned around, intending to call Liu Zhaodi back to pay the bill before she went far, but when he turned around, Liu Zhaodi had already disappeared. He muttered speechlessly, "I've never seen you walk this fast before!"
"Judging by your poor appearance, you can't afford a tip. Just give me thirty rule fragments!" the tomboy urged Jiang Yuan to pay the bill.
"Don't panic, I haven't finished drinking it yet!" Jiang Yuan pointed calmly to the newly filled Amber Dream. Although he appeared as calm as an old dog, he was secretly researching what a rule fragment was.
After searching the Tianqi website without any results, Jiang Yuan finally managed to find information about the rule fragments by relying on his identity to enter the encrypted military network.
Fragments of rules are a unique product of the Apocalypse World. They are beings that allow even gods to comprehend the rules, and their inherent value naturally makes them the currency of the Apocalypse World.
Below the rule fragments are the conception fragments, but conception fragments are only used as a transition, so not many people use them.
As for how to obtain the two types of fragments, it's quite simple. The attribute treasures scattered throughout the Apocalypse World are the source for extracting the two types of fragments. As long as you have the attribute treasure with the corresponding energy, you can extract the corresponding fragment.
"Stop pretending. If you don't have money, stay and wash the cups!" The tomboy mercilessly exposed Jiang Yuan, who was drinking.
"Wash the cup!"
Jiang Yuan's lips twitched. What the hell was this? Back in You Shi Feng, Bu Yao had never let him touch water or wash dishes. And now he had to suffer this humiliation in the Tian Qi World.
"Don't even think about resisting, because I'll beat you to death!"
The tomboy gently tapped the table, and it was this action that triggered a response from the Apocalypse World, with a dense aura of elemental power surrounding her.
