Chapter 261: Sense of Crisis

"Cang Hai, Hong Cha called me yesterday; a newcomer was discovered inside the meeting, and they need me to go with Hong Cha, just like when we recruited you, to bring him into headquarters, so…"

Ye Ying looked at Jiang Cheng apologetically.

After a brief surprise, Jiang Cheng regained his composure, smiled and said, "It's fine, finishing the mission is important, and in a couple of days I might also receive a mission."

"Hmm."

Ye Ying let out a slight sigh of relief.

Actually, two days ago she couldn't help but want to go back to buy a Psychic Weapon, after all the money was already enough.

As for buying an A-level or an S-level.

With the earnings from these two days, buying an S-level would definitely be affordable.

But after thinking it over, she still decided to buy the A-level, just as the more difficult Secret Martial Arts are harder to cultivate, the more powerful the weapon, the harder to wield.

Now she is a Sixth-level Spirit Mind Master, not even a senior Spirit Mind Master, so it's better to stay safe.

But she could see that Jiang Cheng is very attached to money, probably also has something he wants to buy, so after receiving Hong Cha's notice she negotiated to postpone by one day.

Tomorrow, we must set out.

"Cang Hai, this time I'm truly grateful to you; if it weren't for you, I would have had to spend a long time to save enough for an A-level Psychic Weapon, not to mention now my money can buy two of them."

"No need to be so formal."

Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have earned this much money so easily, and the reason I could enter headquarters is also thanks to you and Brother Hong Cha."

"Um…"

Ye Ying felt a bit embarrassed.

At that time she hadn't taken Jiang Cheng seriously at all.

When she heard the other say they wanted to cultivate the Visualization Method, she even sneered.

In the end, the other successfully entered and sensed the Spiritual Power in their mind.

This collaboration gave her a tremendous surprise.

Thinking of this, her ears flushed, and she quickly changed the subject, "Cang Hai, tomorrow early morning, come leave with me? Your strength is not yet enough; if you go alone to hunt in the wilderness, danger could arise easily."

"Hmm."

Jiang Cheng thought for a moment and agreed.

He had also considered hunting alone.

With his Level 6 Original Force Warrior strength, even if he met an enemy, the chance of life danger is low.

But as the saying goes, not afraid of ten thousand, only afraid of the one in a million.

Without Ye Ying's support, encountering a squad of four or five, if the other side also has a Level 6 Original Force Warrior, it would still be quite troublesome.

Better to return and develop for a while, raise strength to Seven-level; then hunting here alone would have a greater chance.

But one thing made him uneasy.

That is, before his strength reaches Seven-level, he probably still has to come back here at least once.

The reason is simple.

Buy Basic Tranquil Pill.

The money he has now is just enough to buy twenty bottles here.

Going to the Black Market is insufficient, and the first of this month was just yesterday; to join the next one, he'd have to wait half a month.

As for buying at the Dawn Society, it's even more impossible unless he asks Ye Ying to buy for him.

Given their current relationship, achieving this should not be hard.

The remaining issue is money; a Basic Tranquil Pill costs one hundred thousand per bottle, nine million total, no discount.

So overall, buying here is definitely the most cost‑effective.

The two entered the camp; this time, the people tailing them outside were too lazy to watch them any longer. After all, watching them served no purpose.

After selling the prey, the two drove back to the hotel.

Leaving tomorrow, Jiang Cheng plans to drive this truck away as well.

After all, it was because of this thing that their earning efficiency these past days increased greatly.

Leaving it here would be such a waste.

After parking, Jiang Cheng greeted Ye Ying and walked toward the trading house.

Today happens to be the third day since the contract was signed.

Having not been here for two days, many people seemed to have forgotten Jiang Cheng, casting various glances again.

Jiang Cheng, not in the mood to care, directly stated his purpose, was soon led into the previous private room, and shortly after, the sound of high heels rang.

He Juan was dressed the same as last time, in formal attire, with a person behind her, carrying a password box the size of a laptop.

"Mr. Chen, the goods you wanted actually arrived yesterday; I've been waiting for you to come over."

He Juan said with a smile, entered the code, and opened the box.

Inside were ten exquisitely crafted porcelain bottles, each nestled in a compartment, each about the size of a palm.

"May I have a look?"

"Sure, but you need to wear our gloves and you may only smell them; if you taste or do similar actions, you must pay the remaining balance."

Jiang Cheng nodded, put on the gloves, and inspected each one.

He had taken two bottles of Basic Tranquil Pill before, so he could tell at a glance.

"Mr. Chen, rest assured, our trading house would never do smash‑signboard things, moreover, these are just ten bottles of Basic Tranquil Pill, not worth such actions."

Beside him, He Juan laughed.

"Being careful never hurts."

Jiang Cheng set down a bottle, then picked up the next one, and said without even raising his head.

"That does make sense."

He Juan was startled for a moment, then just waited quietly.

When Jiang Cheng put down the last bottle, his face was again full of smiles.

"Mr. Chen, now that you've finished the inspection, there are no issues, right? If there are no problems, you only need to settle the final payment, and the pills in this box will be yours."

As soon as the words fell, Jiang Cheng felt a sense of being stared at.

He had felt that sensation before, during his last purchase of Secret Medicine when he paid.

Clearly, the one stationed here was a Spirit Grandmaster; each time a large transaction is conducted, it attracts the other party's attention.

The warehouse side was different; the one stationed there should be a Force Master, perhaps the model is different as well.

In the shop, payment is made after receiving the goods; the customer could simply take the items and run without paying, so the shop is relatively passive.

The warehouse is the opposite: entrants first present the prey, get it appraised, then pay; the former holds the initiative.

"Alright."

Jiang Cheng didn't waste words, and transferred the funds directly.

"Alright, Mr. Chen, we have received your payment; the ten bottles of pills on the table are yours, and the box is our complimentary gift, you may take it away."

He Juan said warmly: "Of course, if you have any other needs, you can let us know, and we will do our best to fulfill them."

Jiang Cheng felt the feeling of being watched disappear.

At that moment, he felt an urge to say, "Give me another 80 bottles, or 40 Intermediate Calming Spirit Pills."

But that Spirit Grandmaster gave him a sense of crisis.

One million might not catch that master's eye.

But ten million? (End of chapter)
