Chapter 403 Killing Intent
In response, Meng Qingyin, who was desperately short of money, specifically inquired about this with 007.
007's response was simple and blunt: "All the charges are set by the main system. I don't have permission to view or modify them. Sorry."
Meng Qingyin had no choice.
She needs to earn money quickly; a thousand gold coins really don't last long.
Having no money on this map is a scary thing; who knows what new charges will be added when you wake up?
She wanted to farm the Magic Tower, but the money earned from farming the Magic Tower was far less than the money-burning speed of the Three-Pointed Knife, so it was obviously not feasible.
What other quick ways are there to make money?
She asked Qingfeng how to make money, and Qingfeng replied irrelevantly, "Master, are you short of money? I have some here, you can take it to tide you over."
Before Meng Qingyin could even refuse, the transfer notification rang.
[Qingfeng, a VIP client of Highway Bank, has transferred 100,000.00 gold coins to you.]
She stared at the string of zeros, silently counted them, and exclaimed, "Wow, 100,000 gold coins?!"
Meng Qingyin was dumbfounded: "Qingfeng, why did you transfer so much money to me?"
Qingfeng said matter-of-factly, "Master, don't be polite with me. Just take it and spend it. My money is yours. Besides, what you're doing now is to protect everyone, and I also want to do my part."
Meng Qingyin replied, "You've made me sound too noble. I collect pure demonic energy for my own benefit. Since the Three-Pointed Blade is now at my disposal, I naturally want it to be as powerful as possible."
Qingfeng didn't argue with her. A gentleman judges by actions, not intentions, because no one is perfect.
In her view, everything her master did was to protect everyone.
She believed that if one day her master had to choose between the Three-Pointed Knife and her friend, he would choose the latter without hesitation.
Qingfeng: "No matter what, you can take this money and spend it. If it's not enough, I'll find another way."
Meng Qingyin did not refuse, but she insisted: "Consider this money a loan to you, and I will pay you back later."
She knew Qingfeng also wanted to do something, but 100,000 gold coins was no small sum, and she couldn't accept the money with a clear conscience.
Qingfeng knew what her master was thinking. Although she hadn't intended for her master to return the money, she knew that if she didn't agree, her master would definitely transfer the money back to her immediately.
She changed the subject, "Master, how strong is the Three-Pointed Blade now?"
Meng Qingyin shook her head: "I'm not quite sure."
The weapon she used to fight in the Demon Tower was a heavy sword. The three-pointed sword was kept in the train because if she brought the three-pointed sword into the Demon Tower, it would absorb the turbid demonic energy in the Demon Tower, and then she would have to start all over again.
Therefore, she was unaware of the current strength of the Three-Pointed Blade.
Qingfeng understood her concerns. "The Three-Pointed Knife is a divine weapon; we must indeed be cautious."
Meng Qingyin hadn't forgotten about the loan, so she wrote Qingfeng an IOU.
Qingfeng turned around and secretly burned the IOU.
...
The next day, Meng Qingyin was awakened by a series of urgent knocks on the door.
The fact that the baby didn't show any aggression suggests that the visitor was someone they knew.
She got dressed, opened the car door, and found Zhao Lan and a thin woman standing outside.
"Zhao Lan?" Meng Qingyin was a little surprised. "Why are you here? Get in the car first."
Zhao Lan helped the thin woman into the car, and only then did Meng Qingyin notice that the woman had a leg disability. After the three of them sat down, Zhao Lan said, "This morning, Li Er came to see me."
Meng Qingyin's heart sank: "What did she say?"
Zhao Lan took a deep breath. "She showed a very strong murderous intent towards Sister Fang."
Meng Qingyin looked at the slender woman, Fang Jie, and asked, "Have you met Li Er before? Do you have a grudge against each other?"
Fang Jie shook her head firmly: "Today is the first time I've met her. We don't know each other, and we have no history with each other."
Meng Qingyin couldn't understand why Li Er had murderous intent towards a player she had never met.
This is also what Zhao Lan can't understand. At that time, Li Er calmly told her that he was the person she was looking for.
She already knew about Lear's plan, and listened to her story without showing any emotion.
until……
Lear suddenly looked at Fang Jie in the distance, his tone filled with murderous intent: "She might be a stumbling block for us. Get her away as soon as possible, or I don't know what I might do."
Zhao Lan was shocked: "You can't hurt her!"
Lear sneered, "Her life or death is entirely up to you. I have no interest in killing, but if someone interferes with my plans, I will show no mercy. Clearly, she is now potentially affecting my plans. If you continue to keep her alive, there is only one outcome for her: death."
Zhao Lan didn't understand why Li Er wanted her to send Fang Jie away, but she didn't dare gamble with Fang Jie's life.
Fangjie was unaware of this matter, and she wanted Fangjie to stay with Meng Qingyin temporarily.
Li Er said that everything would be fine as long as she sent Fang Jie away, and in order to protect Fang Jie, she had no choice but to do so.
Zhao Lan looked at Sister Fang and said, "Sister Fang, wait for me outside the car for a while. I have something to say to Mengmeng. Don't worry, she's safe here."
Although Fangjie didn't know what Li Er and Zhao Lan had talked about, she could see Li Er's hostility towards her.
She wasn't worried about her own safety; she was worried that Lear might also harm Zhao Lan.
She looked at Meng Qingyin pleadingly: "Mengmeng, I know you are a very important person in our district, and Captain Zhao is a good person. Please help her, okay?"
Meng Qingyin: "Zhao Lan's matter is my matter. You go and rest in another carriage for a while. I want to talk to Zhao Lan for a bit."
Fangjie knew the two had something to say, so she nodded and went to another carriage.
Meng Qingyin: "You couldn't say what you wanted to say while Fang-jie was here, but you can say it now."
Zhao Lan: "Li Er said that Sister Fang might affect her plans, so she asked me to send Sister Fang away."
"Just sending Sister Fang away?" Meng Qingyin asked skeptically. "Everything Li Er has done is for her plan. Now that someone might affect her plan, she's just asking you to send her away?"
Is this Lear's style of doing things?
Zhao Lan was in a state of confusion. She hadn't thought things through earlier, but now it seemed that Lear's purpose was not so simple.
Perhaps Lear's plan was for her to send Fang away, and then find an opportunity to kill her?
"You mean I should keep Fang-jie by my side?" Zhao Lan said, then rejected the idea. "But she said if I don't send Fang-jie away, she'll kill her!"
“She doesn’t have the authority to kill players directly,” Meng Qingyin said, “but if she really wanted to kill Sister Fang, she would definitely try to find a way to do so.”
"What should I do? How can I protect Sister Fang?" Zhao Lan panicked completely.
Humans are emotional beings. She and Sister Fang spent a long time together, and their friendship was stronger than that of sisters.
She absolutely cannot let anything happen to Sister Fang!
