"What?", Zhang Yingrui looked puzzled.
"Let me agree to Xiao Zhigang assassinating you?"
Qin Siyang smiled, "What, can't we act out a play together? I saw your Zephyr Sect's preaching videos on the forum. To be honest, I think your acting is quite good."
Zhang Yingrui's tone turned cold, "Impossible. Acting with you to fool Xiao Zhigang, if it gets exposed, I'll be in big trouble."
"6 grams of crimson crystal."
"Impossible, this is not a matter of crimson crystal. Xiao Zhigang's background is complicated, I..."
"7 grams of crimson crystal."
"Qin Siyang, I still can't immediately agree to this matter. Xiao Zhigang being able to get the Vine Core means..."
"8 grams of crimson crystal."
"I think we should take the long view, maybe there's a better way than deceiving Xiao Zhigang..."
"9 grams of crimson crystal."
"No, you this..."
"10 grams of crimson crystal. If you still think it's not enough, then goodbye."
Zhang Yingrui swallowed, his gaze shfting several times, then said, "Tell me the plan."
———
After talking with Zhang Yingrui, the last one was Holy Son Hu Chan.
Hu Chan still had a world-weary expression, "Qin Siyang, I came to see you."
"Mm, thank you."
"I have something to ask your help with."
"Go ahead."
"Lend me a fragment of Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf."
Perhaps because he was somewhat disgusted with Qin Siyang, Hu Chan's words were blunt.
Qin Siyang wasn't angry, "Lend? When do you plan to return it?"
Hu Chan said calmly, "The kind of lending with no return."
Qin Siyang's mouth twisted, "Lord Holy Son, that's not called lending, that's called robbing."
"No, what you do is robbing, what I do is lending."
"..."
"You lend me a fragment of Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf."
"That thing has already all been given out."
"No need to pretend. You do things cautiously, I know you definitely still have some in stock. You lend it to me, I'll return you something else."
"Something else? What do you have?"
"What do you want?"
"Do you have yellow silver star ore?"
"No."
"Then I don't have anything I need from you."
"Qin Siyang, I'm seriously here to borrow a Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment from you. Although Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf is rare, how can it compare with the unique yellow silver star ore?"
"Right now I'm just lacking this."
Hu Chan thought for a moment, then said, "You lend me the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment first, I have urgent use for it. As for the yellow silver star ore, I can try to help you inquire about it."
Qin Siyang looked at Hu Chan with contempt, "Calling you Holy Son, you really think you're invincible? How thick-skinned are you, asking me to lend you the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment first, then you 'try' to inquire about it for me. Do you think what you're saying makes sense?"
Hu Chan fell silent after hearing this.
After a long while, he said, "Qin Siyang, as long as you're willing to lend me the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment to use, I can agree to any request from you."
"Any request?"
Hearing this, Qin Siyang sized up Hu Chan.
Hu Chan's body shrank back, "You like that kind of thing?"
"What kind?", Qin Siyang noticed the disgust and fear in Hu Chan's eyes, and immediately realized, "What nonsense are you talking about! I was just thinking about what use value you have."
Qin Siyang thought for a moment, then asked, "Do you have the ability to detect rare materials or the existence of related divine objects?"
Hu Chan's expression didn't change as he shook his head, "No."
"Lie."
Qin Siyang smiled slightly, pulling a bird out from under the covers.
"Sorry, in order to get the correct answer, I turned on a lie detector, hope you don't mind."
A trace of surprise flashed through Hu Chan's eyes, then anger ignited, "I guessed right."
"You said before that you had been planning and preparing for a long time to obtain that Vine Core. Sacrificing a giant vine is something you can come across but not seek out, how would ordinary people know what to prepare?"
"If you could prepare, it means you must have some special ability."
Qin Siyang smiled slightly, "After I recover, you accompany me outside the safe zone three times, and I'll lend you the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment."
Hu Chan's skill was basically a treasure map.
It just so happened to save him from always running around like a headless fly, almost losing his life.
Speaking of which, Hu Chan had such a skill, he should be rich, right?
Qin Siyang's gaze was full of mockery.
Hu Chan clenched his fists, saying nothing.
After a long while, he spoke, "The Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment I need is about the size of a plate."
"That's fine, not too big, I can take it out. So, my request, you agree?"
"Mm. You give me the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment, and when you recover, I'll come find you."
Qin Siyang yawned, "After I'm discharged, you come find me, I'll first give you one-tenth of the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment..."
"One-tenth?"
Hu Chan shouted, "What can one-tenth do?"
"Alright, stop pretending," Qin Siyang waved indifferently, "If you want a plate-sized Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment, you must have a margin. Who ever gets their psychological price in one go?"
"Besides, you have nothing in writing, and we've had some conflicts before. I'm already being quite generous giving you one-tenth first to extend someone's life, right?"
Hu Chan's gaze turned sharp.
Sure enough, Qin Siyang instantly knew he wanted the Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment to save someone.
"Ask around, who else can be as righteous as me doing this?"
"After that, each time you accompany me outside the safe zone and return, I'll give you another one-tenth. After the third time, I'll give you the remaining seven-tenths."
"The extra Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment, you can use as you please, I won't interfere."
"Of course, if I die outside the safe zone, then there's nothing I can do."
"How about it?"
Hu Chan was so angry he couldn't speak.
'This Qin Siyang, how can he be so cunning?'
'Also an orphan, why can I never beat him?'
He gritted his teeth, but in the end still agreed to Qin Siyang.
There was no choice. Currently, in the safe zone, the only one who could produce a Titan Foxtail Inner Leaf fragment was Qin Siyang himself.
After the Zephyr Sect people left, Qin Siyang couldn't help but sigh.
"These Zephyr Sect people really treat me like a supply merchant. Everyone comes to me for materials."
Not long after the Zephyr Sect people left, Tang Wanjing, the head of the management bureau, came to visit Qin Siyang.
Tang Wanjing's visit was straightforward, just to check on the situation of the young man he favored.
After exchanging greetings for a while, Tang Wanjing started chatting casually.
"Little Qin, when did you acknowledge Professor Li as your foster father? Why didn't you tell anyone?"
Tang Wanjing's words directly stunned Qin Siyang.
'Foster father?'
'Li Tianming?'
"Minister Tang, what do you mean?"
"Hm? You don't know?"
"As far as I know, I really don't know. Minister Tang, what's going on?"
Tang Wanjing scratched his head, "Your Thunder Snow Wolf sequence potion and bonus were just approved two days ago."
"I originally wanted to give them to you, but then I learned you were in critical condition, still being rescued."
"Professor Li said you had long acknowledged him as your foster father, so he could collect your sequence potion and bonus on your behalf..."
"???"
