Chapter 160 - Bold Demon! (1 more, asking for monthly tickets!)

Second sister was suddenly stunned.Diao Deyi’s ability to make money had become even more impressive.

In the past, these 10 taels of silver were something Second sister wouldn’t even dare to think about.

As if afraid Second sister would use the silver for something outrageous, Fang Yu quickly added a few more words.

"This money is only allowed to be used to supplement household expenses, and not for placing orders with the Detective Workshop."

"If Second sister wants to buy other things, she can use it freely, just don’t spend money at the Detective Workshop anymore, I suspect there’s something wrong with that place!"

"If you really need to spend money to find Brother Cha’s whereabouts, just ask me for money, don’t spend all your own money on this."

Second sister could hear the concern in Fang Yu’s words.

But she could also sense that Fang Yu had somewhat given up on finding Brother Cha.

Second sister’s eyes reddened slightly, feeling somewhat sad and indescribable.

She just managed a forced smile.

"If we can’t find Brother Cha, or Brother Cha’s body, no amount of money will give me peace."

"Second sister, that’s not what I meant!"

Fang Yu immediately realized he had said the wrong thing.

"Oh, I just mean..."

"Let’s not talk about it, let’s eat."

Seeing Fang Yu so anxious, Second sister couldn’t help but chuckle softly.

"I don’t blame you, with Brother Cha missing for so many days, not just you, even I feel somewhat disheartened."

"You having accompanied my caprices for so long already makes me very happy."

Second sister took a seat, picked up some dishes, and lowered her head.

"Just..."

"Give me a little more time."

"I’ll struggle a bit more... After the commotion has passed, I will no longer have any hope."

Fang Yu was so anxious he wished he could slap himself. Why couldn’t he keep his mouth shut?

"Second sister, don’t lose heart, I just feel that the Detective Workshop isn’t reliable, but I am now a Ten Hu of the Foolish Underworld, I got promoted."

"Once I accumulate some achievements, I can use the Foolish Underworld’s investigative methods to investigate Brother Cha’s whereabouts."

"This is much more reliable than any civilian workshop."

Second sister was suddenly stunned and looked up.

Fang Yu noticed her eyes were a bit watery, she must have wanted to cry just now.

"Ten Hu, isn’t that as high as Lord Li Qianxuan?"

"How did you get promoted so fast?"

"Did you do something dangerous?"

Second sister was a bit anxious, even showing slight anger.

"Why are you working so desperately?"

"You know I only..."

Only have you.

Tears streamed down.

Fang Yu panicked and quickly stood up.

"It’s all luck! There was no danger!"

"Lord Li Qianxuan recommended me to his elder brother, Lord Li Baizhen, who is a hundred households, and was short of people. Plus, due to his trust in Lord Li Qianxuan, he made an exception to promote me to a Ten Hu, to cultivate me as his confidant."

Second sister froze in action and looked up, somewhat incredulously.

"Really?"

"Absolutely true!"

Fang Yu hastily added a few more words to reassure her, and then Second sister halfway believed him.

But she still urged Fang Yu to not be reckless and to adhere to propriety.

Second sister couldn’t say words that prioritized his own safety above all.

After all, both Li Qianxuan and Li Baizhen had shown kindness to Fang Yu.

A true man should stand tall and upright, how could he not repay kindness?

When it was time to serve loyally, one should never be afraid to die.

As a mere woman, she naturally could shout and throw tantrums, urging Fang Yu not to be reckless, like a shrinking turtle.

But doing so would embarrass Fang Yu and make things difficult for him.

The matters of a man’s loyalty and righteousness, she couldn’t persuade him.

So all she could do was warn Fang Yu to be very, very careful.

By now, the food had gotten a bit cold.

They hurriedly finished their meal.

Second sister remembered the matter of accumulating achievements to find people that Fang Yu mentioned.

She opened her mouth several times, but found it hard to speak.

Second sister may not have eaten pork but she had seen pigs run.

The Foolish Underworld’s ’achievements’ could involve killing.

And killing, anywhere, was a major crime, a capital crime.

Unless protected by power, usually one cannot escape capital punishment.

Achievements as dominant as these need not mention their difficulty to obtain.

Second sister didn’t want Fang Yu to risk his life, yet she hoped he could accumulate achievements to find people.

Suddenly, a large hand was placed on her head.

"Don’t worry, Second sister, I will accumulate the achievements and find Brother Cha."

The hand was large and solid.

Inadvertently, the once small hands had now become so large, like a sheltering giant tree, strong and dependable.

She stretched out her hands and grasped the hand above her head.

Second sister felt very warm.

The hand was warm, her heart was also warm.

Detective Workshop.

"A seat in the elegant room on the second floor!"

Zhang Chenchen shouted at the top of her lungs.

The staff member at the door, Zhang Chenchen, calculated how much achievement this order would bring.

She was a salesperson.

It had been two or three days since she entered the game.

Her character identity was plain and ordinary.

Unable to find a profitable route, she discovered this shop.

Its clientele consisted of landlords, wealthy dames, and noble ladies.

They did high-end business.

Yet the location of the shop was quite ordinary.

Zhang Chenchen was puzzled.

Or rather, she was curious as to what kind of business such a shop did.

After some probing, she found out.

It was a black shop.

Specializing in fleecing wealthy fools.

The more brainless the lady, the rich girl, the lovesick woman, the easier it was to be fleeced.

This job was familiar territory for her!

It was just a matter of sales talk.

Immediately, she made her pitch.

"Get lost! Penniless fool!"

Excellent! Let not the poor girl be deceived by thirty years in the east and thirty years in the west!

She then sat at the door to take on assignments.

Opening her throat, she indeed attracted some brainless ladies ready to enter the Detective Workshop.

"Finding mistresses, leave it to me! Discounts on prices!"
