Chapter 218
Jing Yuan’s eyes could not help but widen.
"That is not a good sign."
"And within the Luofu, there are also many petty villains lurking."
"Lady Fu, I will have to rely on you more in the future; I fear once is not enough."
Jing Yuan instructed.
Fu Xuan nodded, indicating she understood.
Actually, even if Jing Yuan hadn't said it, she would have tried many more times.
Not only regarding the Luofu, but also regarding Lin Qi.
How strange...
Why is it that after not seeing him for a while, I can calculate him less and less?
Even if he were an Emanator, I should be able to calculate some clues.
Fu Xuan remained restless until she left the Divination Commission.
For her.
This matter was very worthy of attention.
Because the last time she encountered such a situation was decades ago, when she wanted to calculate the location of the Reignbow Arbiter.
At that time, in order to turn the tide of the war, Fu Xuan had the whimsical idea of seeking help from the Reignbow Arbiter.
And wanted to find the Reignbow Arbiter through divination.
But as a mortal, how could one discover an Aeon?
Therefore.
In the end, it was only after paying a heavy price that the tide of the war was turned.
This time.
That sense of powerlessness surged again.
Giving Fu Xuan a sense of déjà vu.
Then.
She reached an extremely absurd conclusion.
Lin Qi...
Is he going to ascend to godhood?
Just as she was thinking this.
Fu Xuan returned to the Divination Commission, but she didn't go in, and her brows immediately furrowed.
Because someone at the door was missing.
Fu Xuan paid close attention to this person, feeling a sense of wishing they would live up to expectations.
Immediately.
She took out her phone and sent a message.
[Fu Xuan: Did Did Qingque, where are you? Reply as soon as you see this! Don't tell me you've gone off to slack off somewhere again!]
After sending the message.
Fu Xuan did not enter the door, but waited quietly for a reply.
But as time passed, no reply appeared.
This made Fu Xuan’s brows knit together uncontrollably.
Under normal circumstances.
As long as she sent a message, Did Did Qingque would panic and return, fearing punishment.
But now, after a while, there was still no message.
"Forgot because of playing cards?"
Fu Xuan thought to herself while preparing to do a calculation.
Just at this moment.
A message came back.
[Did Did Qingque: Sorry, Master Diviner. I ate too much beef offal recently and got an upset stomach, I'm in the latrine!]
[Fu Xuan: Hmph! Spending too much time in the restroom during work hours, your bonus for this quarter is gone!]
[Did Did Qingque: No! Master Diviner!]
[Fu Xuan: It is decided. Let this be a lesson to you. Don't blame me for being heartless; the Luofu might be a bit chaotic later, so don't run around, try to stay in the Divination Commission. Especially those card-playing friends of yours, every single one of them looks suspicious to me.]
[Did Did Qingque: Yes, yes, I know.]
[Fu Xuan: That is all.]
Seeing that Fu Xuan did not pursue the matter further, Did Did Qingque’s little face was bitter.
A quarter’s bonus!
That was quite a lot.
It would be enough for her to play many rounds of cards.
But there was no help for it.
Who told her to get caught slacking off by the Master Diviner again?
As for what Fu Xuan said about trying to stay in the Divination Commission, Did Did Qingque thought about it and decided to delay it by half a system hour.
This was already giving enough face.
In the past, it would have been good if she didn't clock out exactly on time.
Spending an extra half system hour in the Divination Commission was already a huge sacrifice for her.
Besides...
"How can I not play cards?"
"Since a quarter's bonus is gone, I have to win it back, right?"
"And my luck has been good lately!"
Thinking of this.
A smile appeared on Did Did Qingque’s face.
The unhappiness caused by the loss of her bonus faded quite a bit.
Because in recent days, she had won more than she lost; in just a month, she had already won quite a few Strale.
By comparison, her basic salary didn't count for much.
At this moment.
What Did Did Qingque was thinking about was winning back the lost bonus at the card table.
After finally enduring until the end of the workday.
And waiting for another half system hour like torture.
She left the Divination Commission.
And headed straight for the card-playing spot.
It was just that the place she went to was not a card parlor.
But a private location.
Inside were the card-playing friends she had met recently.
Thanks to these friends, she had won quite a lot of Strale.
However, the other party’s card-playing skills were not bad; Did Did Qingque could tell that every single one of them was very skilled.
They wouldn't play for less time than her.
Did Did Qingque was certain that this was because her luck had been relatively good lately.
The reason was also simple.
After playing cards for a long time, there would always be a period of good luck.
Just like now.
Since that was the case, she had to seize the opportunity even more.
Did Did Qingque even had a thought rise in her heart.
How about...
Playing for higher stakes?
Wouldn't that mean winning even more?
……
Soon.
Lin Qi’s Azure starship arrived in the star system where the Luofu Luofu Luofu Xianzhou was located.
And successfully passed through the Jade Gate.
As the supreme leader of Jarilo, even setting aside other identities, Lin Qi was to be regarded as an honored guest.
Therefore.
When Lin Qi appeared on the Luofu, the welcoming ceremony was very grand.
Not only did Jing Yuan come to greet him in person, but besides the people from the Ten-Lords Commission, the heads of other commissions also came.
Naturally, this included Fu Xuan.
However, at this moment, Fu Xuan’s brows were slightly furrowed.
It seemed something was troubling her.
It was only after Lin Qi and the Jarilo research personnel were properly settled that Jing Yuan had time to ask.
"Lady Fu, with Dr. Lin Qi’s visit, has the situation become even more unpredictable?"
Fu Xuan nodded and said, "Yes, before I could still calculate the Luofu’s fortune, but now... I can't even calculate the Luofu itself!"
"Is that so?"
Jing Yuan’s brows also furrowed; he hadn't expected Lin Qi’s influence to be so great.
With the power of one person, he could actually obscure the "heavenly secrets" of the Luofu.
Fortunately, Jing Yuan had already prepared to welcome the chaos.
"Regardless of whether the Matrix of Prescience can calculate it or not."
"We will respond according to the worst-case scenario!"
With such thoughts.
The Luofu spent a few calm days.
Until a shocking piece of news suddenly appeared.
Did Did Qingque...
Had actually gone missing!
137, The Arbor Reborn! Miss Miss Xueyi: Restore the physical body?
"Did Did Qingque is missing?"
When this news reached Lin Qi.
It made Lin Qi feel slightly surprised.
Regarding Did Did Qingque.
Lin Qi still had a deep impression of her.
After all, when he first arrived at the Luofu Luofu Xianzhou, she was the one who kept "taking care" of Lin Qi’s business.
Of course.
The business Lin Qi spoke of was not those curios and props in the shop.
In fact, he was selling them at a loss.
The real business actually referred to "Influence Points."
And don't say.
The influence Did Did Qingque caused through curios made Lin Qi harvest quite a lot.
This time...
Lin Qi suddenly laughed; he felt he could harvest quite a bit again.
"Doctor, are you not worried at all?"
Beside him.
Miss Miss Xueyi was a bit strange.
Because normally, facing this situation, their Jarilo technical exchange group would definitely be affected.
Not only that.
There might even be people who would suspect them of Did Did Qingque’s disappearance.
Of course.
There wouldn't be many such people.
After all, the motive was unclear, but the problem was that Lin Qi’s group arrived too coincidentally, and Did Did Qingque happened to go missing at this time.
"Why should I be worried? This is just the right opportunity."
Lin Qi smiled.
He didn't care.
He understood what Miss Miss Xueyi meant very well.
But the key was that he didn't do it, so even if others wanted to frame him, it was impossible to frame him.
Besides...
Lin Qi was not without clues.
Kafka had sent back a message.
According to her, the reason Did Did Qingque disappeared had to do with the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
This reason made Lin Qi shake his head repeatedly.
Is the Luofu too incompetent?
How long has it been, and the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus still exist?
You must know.
That turmoil ten years ago dealt a heavy blow to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
As one of the participants, Lin Qi knew it very well.
Unexpectedly.
Ten years later, the Luofu was still suffering from it.
It could only be said...
The management of the Luofu was a huge problem.
"I wonder what Jing Yuan is doing?"
Lin Qi said speechlessly.
Then he stood up, preparing to go out.
"Miss Miss Xueyi, it’s been a long time since we came to the Luofu, shall we go out for a stroll together? I happen to want to go to the Alchemy Commission."
"Very well, Doctor." Miss Miss Xueyi nodded.
"Alright, you lead the way; I imagine you should be very familiar with it."
Miss Miss Xueyi was indeed very familiar.
After all, the proportion of Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and those falling into mara-struck in the Alchemy Commission was far higher than in other areas.
So she often came to this place.
Even after ten years, she didn't feel the slightest bit unfamiliar.
But then again.
She was a puppet body; all her memories were stored in memory modules. Unless the modules had problems, even after dozens of Amber Eras, she wouldn't forget anything.
Therefore.
Taking Miss Miss Xueyi along, rather than letting her lead the way, it was more like bringing a navigator.
On the way to the Alchemy Commission, there were no waves.
Lin Qi even stopped at a small stall for a while to buy some snacks.
Not to mention anything else.
"The Luofu Luofu Xianzhou is still good at this; their tourism is done very well."
"Jarilo still needs to learn."
"Miss Miss Xueyi, you don't need to record this."
