Chapter 528: Give Me Back Ah Mei
Shen Qi immediately focused his attention on the longsword, and soon, a longsword appeared in his hand.
Wu Jiangsheng turned green with envy upon seeing it: “Big sister, is this a treasured sword?”
Mengyu nodded with a smile: “This is a low-grade magical artifact longsword. It’s not something those ordinary treasured swords can compare to.”
“Can it slice through hair as if it were air?” Wu Jiangsheng asked.
Shen Qi had already plucked a few strands of hair and placed them on the blade. With a breath, the strands of hair were neatly cut through.
Wu Jiangsheng jumped up immediately: “Wow, I want one too, Xiao Hua quickly dock my points, big sister, give me a storage bag quickly.”
Mengyu asked him: “Do you really want it? Aren’t you afraid of being in debt? Also, do you want a sword or a knife?”
Shen Qi wanted a sword, Wu Jiangsheng wanted a knife, Shuiyu wanted a bow and arrow, and Xiao Hua wanted a set of 108 throwing darts.
However, they all became “debtors” burdened with heavy debts.
Of course, Mengyu also instructed them not to take out their magic artifacts unless they encountered life-threatening danger.
Thus, every registered disciple received a storage bag, just one cubic in size, and a low-grade magical artifact.
At the same time, they also became debtors owing nearly one hundred million yuan!
Xiao Tao looked down on her master from within their space: “Master, you’re really stingy. Weren’t you giving those to them? How could you let them all owe you so much debt?”
Mengyu confidently replied, “Isn’t this to prevent them from having the mentality of getting gains without work? Besides, with the pressure of one hundred million yuan in debt, won’t they be more diligent in collecting antiques, right?”
“Also, do you think that ten Merit Points and one thousand Essence Points aren’t worth one hundred million yuan?”
Xiao Tao was immediately left speechless.
One hundred Learning Points can be exchanged for a Yuan Nourishing Pill, with thirty pills per bottle. Each pill is worth one hundred thousand, so thirty pills amount to three million yuan.
One Essence Value is equivalent to one hundred Learning Points, so one Essence Value is worth three million. What is the value of ten thousand Essence Points? That’s three hundred billion yuan!
And furthermore, the ten Merit Points exchanged for the low-grade magical artifact amount to another thousand Essence Points, that’s another thirty billion.
When added together, their value is three hundred and thirty billion. One hundred million points, in fact, are pitifully small in comparison.
Xiao Tao dared not accuse her master of stinginess again.
Of course, the low-grade magical artifacts in the space were many times better than the one Mengyu and Cheng Jiuhe accidentally obtained and sold off last time.
After playing around with the storage bags for a long time, Shen Qi and the others cherished the bags and hung them around their necks securely, tucking them against their chests before they hurriedly went off to collect antiques.
Xiao Tao finally heaved a sigh of relief in her heart: The master was right, with the debt comes pressure, and with pressure, they’ll work harder.
Only if they collect more antiques would the master gain more Essence Points, and it loved Essence Points the most!
“Master, you are truly great.”
Mengyu didn’t bother with that flatterer; instead, she took Wang Huilan with her and rode a bicycle to Wang Huilan’s hometown—Upper Yao Village. When they arrived, it was the time when every household was having breakfast.
At the beginning of the year, when the production team had just disbanded and without its restrictions, few people went out to work early.
However, upon entering the Wang family’s house, both were stunned.
The whole house felt gloomy, and the scent of joss paper had not yet dissipated.
The moment Wang Huilan stepped through the threshold, a broom came sweeping at her: “You knew to come back? Give me back Ah Mei!”
Only then did Wang Huilan remember, a week ago, she and Ah Mei were deceived by Jiang Haidong under the guise of recruitment, but in reality, they were trafficked to nightclubs in the coastal city.
On the road, their car was intercepted by the military, Lao San took Wang Huilan hostage, and Jiang Haidong took Ah Mei as a hostage.
To persuade Jiang Haidong to change hostages, Ah Mei threatened to reveal that she had joined the Human Trafficking Group, but was killed by Lao San with a single knife.
Had Ah Mei’s body already been brought back and a funeral arranged at home?
