Chapter 10

"Anything seen through the telescope can be pulled over directly, even from the ends of the earth. Of course, things that I cannot move myself are excluded."

As the words fell, Lin Qi looked through the lens with his left eye and reached out with his right hand into the void.

The next moment, a thin pair of white pantyhose landed in Lin Qi's hand; the texture was smooth and cool.

Looking again at Miss Miss Xueyi's... knees?

"Miss Miss Miss Xueyi, to say nothing else, your technology regarding puppet joints is better than Herta's!"

The person next in line to join the Genius Society said as much.

"Is... that so?"

Miss Miss Xueyi replied stiffly. Although she could not feel temperature, the sudden change still sent a chill through her heart.

What kind of Curio was this?

It had already exceeded the laws of physics, hadn't it?

Just like that, with one grab, the pantyhose on her lower body were gone?

What if he grabbed other places?

Like her weapon, the Vajra?

Or her energy core...

Can't fight, absolutely cannot fight!

Do not think about resisting; this is not an opponent on the same level at all! Who knows what other Curios he has?

Being able to keep him steady is the best outcome.

Her train of thought shifted.

A pair of pantyhose solved such a huge hidden danger; it was simply too profitable.

If one pair wasn't enough...

"May I ask if you have any other needs? The Ten-Lords Commission guards waiting outside also have..."

"Stop!"

Lin Qi was completely numb; he could guess what Miss Miss Xueyi would say next.

Why, do I look that much like a pervert?

One pair of white silk isn't enough, and you want to offer a pile of black silk?

If it were really like that, wouldn't Fu Xuan's be even more...

Lin Qi met Miss Miss Xueyi's serious expression and knew he couldn't let the misunderstanding continue, so he hurriedly interrupted, "Did Did Qingque isn't actually being wanted by the entire Luofu network just because she's slacking off, right? No way, right?"

"Slacking off?"

Hearing Lin Qi's words, Miss Miss Xueyi was stunned for a moment, her tone strange.

"You are not aware of the truth?"

"What truth? Isn't it just slacking off? It seems you don't know. That girl Did Did Qingque bought over ten types of Curios from me, specifically for slacking off. I don't know how many rounds of Celestial Jade she's played behind Master Diviner Fu's back, tsk tsk," Lin Qi said slowly.

Miss Miss Xueyi was silent for a moment before speaking, "So, you have no connection to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus?"

"What Disciples of Sanctus Medicus? Never heard of them." Lin Qi shook his head.

He really hadn't heard of them.

The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus generally prioritized Luofu Luofu Xianzhou natives when developing their subordinates and rarely contacted outsiders. Under the Alliance's strict crackdown, even Lin Qi, without paying attention, was unaware of their existence.

On the other side.

Miss Miss Xueyi fell silent again.

This silence lasted a long time, as if she were communicating with someone.

After a long while, she finally reacted.

First, she shouted "Stand down" to the Ten-Lords Commission guards outside, then looked at Lin Qi with an apologetic tone, "I have offended you. This matter was not investigated clearly by the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou; please forgive us."

"I don't mind; I was idle anyway, so I'll just treat it as watching a play," Lin Qi laughed. "What about you? What do you plan to do next? Continue to bring Did Did Qingque to justice?"

"This..."

Miss Miss Xueyi hesitated for a moment before revealing the orders from her superiors.

"This disturbance has something to do with Did Did Qingque. Although it is not entirely her fault, since things have come to this, we can only arrest her first and interrogate her before making a decision."

"The inertia within the system, huh."

Lin Qi sighed; he had guessed that the Luofu would not stop pursuing Did Did Qingque.

To say nothing else, the four commissions issued a joint document; they couldn't just brush it off with "it was all a misunderstanding." What would happen to the face of the person who gave the order? How would the hundreds of billions of citizens on the Luofu view it? What would people from other Luofu Luofu Xianzhou ships think?

No choice.

Just have to make the little Diviner suffer a bit more.

Who knows, the fake Disciples of Sanctus Medicus might just become the real ones.

However...

"You won't find her."

Lin Qi's tone was certain. "With Master Diviner Fu participating, you might find her, but you won't necessarily catch her. Those are two different things, unless she walks right into the trap. But with Did Did Qingque's intelligence, when she realizes this is clearly a farce but can't stop it, she will only run for her life even harder, hahaha."

Miss Miss Xueyi did not speak, but her eyes and attitude said everything.

"What? You don't believe me?"

Lin Qi glanced at Miss Miss Xueyi and continued, "I am quite confident in the Curios I sell. If you don't believe me, just wait and see. Or we can make a bet on whether Did Did Qingque will be caught. If I lose, you can take any Curio from this shop."

Once these words were out, the poker-faced girl could not help but be moved.

She couldn't help but ask.

"Does that include the object-retrieving telescope you just used?"

"It does!"

Lin Qi was as confident as ever. "Conversely, if you lose, what do you say?"

Miss Miss Xueyi looked left and right, wanting to speak several times, but gave up when the words reached her lips.

Finally, she sighed and said.

"When Miss Miss Xueyi was alive, I committed a grave crime due to the Mara-Struck. By the grace of the Ten-Lords, I was granted this puppet body to atone for my sins, so I do not have my freedom and cannot promise you anything. If you insist on the bet, I can only report it to the Ten-Lords Commission and wait for their arrangement."

"Then go ahead and report it to the Ten-Lords Commission."

Lin Qi said indifferently.

Seeking flowers, seeking reviews.

12, Miss Miss Xueyi: Since it's already given away for free, giving a bit more doesn't matter.

Lin Qi didn't care much about the bet.

It was just something he said casually.

The stakes were even less of a concern.

Anyway, the purpose of coming to the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou had already been achieved ahead of schedule.

Moreover, the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou avoided longevity like the plague, so it was impossible to use this for trade.

Of course.

If the Luofu really caught Did Did Qingque, he would fulfill his promise.

It was just a Curio.

He had plenty more.

Except for a small number of Curios whose technology he hadn't fully grasped, the others could be recreated.

The object-retrieving telescope was one of them.

In fact, the one Lin Qi brought out now was only the first generation, which could be called a test version.

After the technology matured, he built a larger astronomical object-retrieving telescope in the synchronous orbit of the Blue Star, used to pluck stars.

Therefore, a mere Curio was nothing at all.

Besides, wasn't there a possibility of gaining Influence Points?

He wouldn't lose at all.

On the other side.

Miss Miss Xueyi seemed to be really reporting the bet, serious and earnest, but because her delicate little face didn't have much expression, the result couldn't be seen.

Lin Qi didn't intend to ask more, but instead rubbed his stomach.

"I'm a bit hungry, I want to eat spicy beef offal. Since you're letting me stay here, why not help me buy a bowl back, how about it?"
