Siheyuan: Seventeen-year-old He Yuzhu

After the boss finished speaking, he sent everyone back.

He Yuzhu returned to the room and lay on the bed, his heart still pounding.

This place is quite far from the warehouse. If it weren't for my high level and fast speed, I might have been stuck there. And now there are a large number of guards walking around on the street outside, as if they are looking for someone.

If I were a little slower, I might have been discovered by them.

Now he didn’t know whether these guards would search every house one by one. He Yuzhu didn’t enter the space directly with his body, but with his spirit.

A figure condensed in the space. Hou Da and Hou Er were very excited when they saw it. They had never thought that one day they would see so many crystal cores, and they could take them at will.

They had a blast.

He Yuzhu said: "You have done a good job this time. The reward is 30,000 yuan. You can divide it among yourself."

He then said to Chi Yan and the others, "You also have a share, ten thousand of them, share it."

He Yuzhu took out 11,000 crystal cores from the warehouse and placed them in front of them.

They were all a little dumbfounded.

I was so happy that I couldn't speak.

He Yuzhu came to the flower again, sensed it, and found that the flower was rapidly absorbing the energy in the warehouse, much faster than before.

When it saw He Yuzhu coming, it was very satisfied and said he did a good job.

This energy should be able to make it grow.

He Yuzhu didn't know what to say. There are three or four hundred thousand crystal cores, including many high-level crystal cores. Is this just enough for you?

This is too luxurious.

If you think about it carefully, there shouldn't be so few crystal cores in White City.

There are about five to six thousand residents here, and they have to pay fifty second-level crystal cores every week. Adding so much time, the number should be over a million.

Then he thought that those crystal cores might have been distributed, plus the ones embezzled and some losses, three or four hundred thousand would be a reasonable number.

This is already a lot.

While He Yuzhu was thinking, the appearance of the flower changed. Its stem became longer and thicker.

The flowers above all fell down.

A fruit was produced, the size of a cherry and green in color.

He Yuzhu tried to communicate with it and there was no problem.

Flowers, no, now they should be called fruits, let him collect all the petals, these are all useful things.

There are now five petals left. According to Guozi, two of them can be used to heal wounds. As long as the animal is not dead, the rest of the injuries can be cured.

The other three pieces can be used to make pills, a kind of pill called Juling Pill, which can greatly increase the speed of cultivation.

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up and he collected all the petals. These were all good stuff.

He asked again how to refine the Spirit Gathering Pill, but Guozi said he hadn't remembered it yet.

We should be able to know once it grows fully.

He Yuzhu had no choice but to wait.

Looking at the fruit growing bigger and bigger, He Yuzhu felt that it wouldn't take long.

......

"Manager Tong, I don't know what's going on."

"I was on duty here at night, but somehow I fell asleep. When I came to my senses, all the crystal cores were gone."

A man lowered his head, his expression was panic-stricken, and beads of sweat kept dripping down his forehead.

In front of him, there was a tall woman with long hair tied up with a cable tie and hanging down to her waist. Her beautiful face was as cold as ice.

"Ok?"

Her voice was full of dissatisfaction.

The man in front of him lowered his head even more, "Manager Tong, you...don't worry...I will definitely find the crystal core back."

"Humph." Tong Tianyue snorted coldly, "You want to find it back? How are you going to find it?"

"There are 380,000 crystal cores here, and they all disappeared in 20 minutes. How do you think they did it?"

The man was panicked and very confused, "I... I don't know..."

Tong Tianyue's voice was cold, "How did you take away so many crystal cores?"

“This is definitely not something that can be done by just a few people.”

"But the guards in the city came over when they heard the alarm, and they didn't find any strange people."

"You said you were going to look for it. Tell me, how are you going to find it?"

The man fell to his knees with a plop. "Manager Tong... I will do my best to find it..."

He knew that this was a serious dereliction of duty on his part, and killing him would be the least of his worries. His only way to survive now was to find the crystal core, which should save his life.

Even if he had no clue, he had to say so.

When he knelt like this, the other guards followed suit. If the crystal core could not be found, everyone would die.

Tong Tianyue ignored them. She looked into several rooms. The places that were originally full now seemed empty, with only some food and other things still there.

There is not a single crystal core left.

She frowned, thinking.

This group of guards have been here the whole time, and from what they said they all seemed to have fallen asleep at that time, both those outside and those inside.

This means that the other party must have something that can make people fall asleep, and the effect must be enough to make a level six person fall asleep. I have never heard of such a thing.

Or maybe these guards are lying collectively.

Both possibilities exist.

If it is the first one, then the person who came must have planned it in advance, and used this method to avoid fighting with the guards and attracting other attention.

Then, while the guards were asleep, they took away all the crystal cores.

This raises a question, how did he take it away?

Three hundred and eighty thousand crystal cores. Although each one is small in size, it is not easy to handle so many of them together.

At least we need something like a truck.

But no vehicles were found in the city.

This is really hard to understand.

It's impossible that the other party can transfer the crystal core away from here in an instant.

This is not reasonable.

In fact, Tong Tianyue thought of the second possibility, that the guards here were lying collectively, and the crystal cores here must have been embezzled by them, so he found an excuse.

But when I think about it, it’s even more unreasonable.

This excuse is really stupid.

No one will believe it.

Moreover, the crystal core is lost, so they will be held responsible and will die.

So they don't have to do that.

Both possibilities seemed unreasonable to Tong Tianyue, and she really couldn't figure it out.

Should I tell the city lord about this?
