Four Skills for All.

The next morning, after handing Wang Jinyang over to the law enforcement team, the group returned to the school.

Instead of going back to the dormitory, they went straight to the activity room of the strongest club.

The mission was completed, and the reward was deposited into Mo Xiu's account. Mo Xiu then distributed the rewards according to the previously agreed-upon method.

Then he took out the Spirit Gathering Grass and a large bag and placed them on the table.

Mo Xiu addressed the crowd: "These are the spoils of war we captured this time. The mission instructions stated that handing them in would grant an extra reward, while not handing them in would simply leave these as our reward. Now, let's vote. Raise your hand if you choose to hand them in."

Only Dong Fang raised his hand, and everyone looked at him in surprise.

Dong Fang noticed the strange looks in their eyes and asked, "Why are you all looking at me like that? Of course, Wang Jinyang should return the money he stole from the bank; we even get a reward."

Liu Ziyang explained, "Brother, you've got it wrong. We accepted a Shadow mission, and we handed it in to Shadow. You should know that Shadow is a relatively independent regulatory body. Once something is in Shadow's possession, it's basically never returned."

He Lingyue added, "That's right, that's why the mission didn't explicitly state what to do after finding the Spirit Gathering Grass."

Dong Fang thought about it for a long time before he understood.

"I understand. You mean that although this item was stolen, it became legal once it came into our hands. When the enforcement team assigned the task to Shadow, they didn't intend to recover the stolen goods, right?"

Several people, including Mo Xiu, were somewhat surprised that Dong Fang had actually used his brain, and not only that, he had thought it through very clearly.

Mo Xiu said, "That's right, the choice now is whether to exchange the reward or not."

Hao Ren asked, "I don't really have a concept of whether the reward I get after handing it over will be greater than the value of these things now?"

Liu Ziyang pursed his lips and said, "Given Shadow's usual style, it'll be difficult!"

Dong Fang and Hao Ren said together, "Of course we won't hand it over."

Mo Xiu said, "Alright, since we're not handing it over, let's discuss how to distribute it. Let me say this first: I really want this herb."

Liu Ziyang's eyes were strange as he chuckled and said, "Boss, in both this mission and the last one, you said you had a problem in that area. Is it... that you really have this illness?"

Upon hearing this, Hao Ren and Dong Fang both looked at Mo Xiu strangely, and even He Lingyue secretly glanced at him.

This embarrassed Mo Xiu, who quickly explained, "Don't talk nonsense, it's not true, both times it was for mission purposes."

Hao Ren said magnanimously, "It's alright, it's not a problem. The boss has spoken, the Spirit Gathering Grass is yours, I have no objection."

Liu Ziyang added, "Ah, right, boss, I have no objection. What about you, Dong Fang?"

Dong Fang immediately shook his head, and He Lingyue looked at Mo Xiu with some sympathy and said, "I have never had any objections, Mo Xiu, the Spirit Gathering Grass is yours."

The situation was out of control, and it would be useless for Mo Xiu to explain now. He could only glare fiercely at Liu Ziyang.

Seeing that things were not going well, Liu Ziyang got up to leave.

"Um, boss, I have a class competition later, I have to go now."

Seeing that Liu Ziyang was about to leave, the others quickly said their goodbyes and wanted to leave as well, so as not to embarrass Mo Xiu.

Mo Xiu said helplessly, "Wait a minute, it's not finished yet."

The four of them stopped and looked at Mo Xiu. Why hadn't it been divided up yet? This time, they only managed to seize one Spirit Gathering Grass.

Mo Xiu pointed to the bag on the table and said, "Before handing Wang Jinyang over to the law enforcement team, I searched his belongings and found a key, the key to Fanjie Hotel. While you were busy, I went to the hotel alone and retrieved this bag."

Nobody's stupid. What else could Wang Jinyang have hidden in the bag at the hotel but money?

Several people gathered around and looked at Mo Xiu. Mo Xiu opened the bag, which was filled with hundred-yuan bills. Without counting, it was clear that there must be several million yuan inside.

Mo Xiu continued, "I took the Spirit Gathering Grass, so I don't need you to divide this money among yourselves. In addition, I have some savings, so I transferred two million to each of your accounts."

Hearing Mo Xiu say this, the group didn't stand on ceremony and began to count the items, preparing to divide them up.

Mo Xiu wasn't being particularly generous; it was because the value of the Spirit Gathering Grass was too high. Wang Jinyang's asking price of 100 million was definitely not high. The market price was roughly that, and even on the black market, it wouldn't be less than 80 million.

Mo Xiu gave each person two million, totaling eight million. With his own smaller share, he bought the herb for just over ten million.

You probably couldn't buy it anywhere else for that price, so Mo Xiu actually got a great deal.

The money was divided up in no time, and everyone left happily.

Hao Ren and Liu Ziyang went to participate in the class competition, while He Lingyue went back to the dormitory to rest, since she had been staying up late for the past three days and hadn't had a proper rest.

Only Dong Fang and Mo Xiu were left. Dong Fang's family was already struggling, probably even more so than Mo Xiu's before, so he was quite excited to have earned so much money.

"Mo Xiu, what should we do now?"

Mo Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Let's go back and rest. Let's get some sleep and see if there are any new missions tonight."

Upon hearing about the new task, Dong Fang's eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly.

The two went to the bank first. Dong Fang couldn't wait to deposit the money and transfer it to his mother.

Looking at Dong Fang, Mo Xiu was reminded of his mother, Li Yuan.

I've been here for so many days and haven't called my mother yet. I only let her know I arrived safely when I first got to school.

While waiting for Dong Fang, Mo Xiu made a phone call to Li Yuan.

My mother was still as easygoing as ever. I could tell she missed me, but she didn't say it.

My mother is going back to work in the next few days, and everything is going in a good direction.

After hanging up the phone, Mo Xiu checked his balance and found he had less than a million left.

The expenses have been quite high lately, including buying a house, the eight million I just gave out, and the one million I left for my mother when I left Shuncheng.

Now we're back to square one, with hardly any money left. Looks like I'll have to take on a few more jobs to earn some more money.

Dong Fang, having also saved his money, surprisingly burst into tears.

Mo Xiu asked, "What's wrong?"

Dong Fang cried as she said, "I just called my... mom... and she said I... have become successful, that I can earn money now, and that the family won't have to live a hard life anymore. My mom cried, and I cried too."

Mo Xiu understood Dong Fang's feelings and comforted him all the way back to his dormitory.

As soon as he got back to his room, Mo Xiu fell asleep immediately. The past three days had been very taxing, both physically and mentally, and he needed a good rest.

Mo Xiu was woken up by his cell phone ringing in the evening.

"Feed?"

"Mo Xiu, what illness do you have? Is it serious?"

"Zheng Yi? What's wrong with me?"

Mo Xiu glanced at the time; it was only a little past five in the afternoon.

"Don't lie to me, just tell me what's wrong."

"Okay, I'm pretty tired, I'm going to sleep now. I'm fine, bye!"

"Mo Xiu! Mo Xiu..."

Mo Xiu hung up the phone and wanted to go back to sleep, but his phone rang again.

Mo Xiu answered the phone and said, "I already told you I'm fine, aren't you annoying me?"

"Mo Xiu? You find me annoying?"

Upon hearing this voice, Mo Xiu immediately snapped out of his daze, glanced at the phone, and saw it was Mu Qingyi.

"Oh, Qingyi? I thought it was Zheng Yi. What's wrong? Why are you calling all of a sudden?"

There was a long silence on the other end of the phone before Mo Xiu asked a question that shocked him.

"Mo Xiu, do you really have a problem with that area?"

Mo Xiu reacted a second later.

"ah???"
