Main text Chapter 258 Actually you are a good person

This friendly match had no rewards; it was merely to complete the extra task Xiao Feng had initially accepted.

Although they gained nothing, after this battle the relationship between Xiao Feng's team and the War God Temple became much smoother; if there are any tasks in the future, they will likely have some priority.

"Let's go, back to cultivation." Xiao Feng called out and left the arena.

Li Li was spurred on by his friend; to prove he wasn't a noob, he also went back to cultivate.

As for the three girls in the team, after training hard for two or three days, they felt their progress slowing; they wanted to go out to hone their skills and relax a bit.

So the three girls discussed and formed a small team—one tank, one healer, one damage dealer—just right for going to grind the battlefield.

The three girls temporarily left, and the Xiao residence was left with only three rough‑footed burly men.

Using his key privilege to return to the Xiao residence, Xiao Feng did not immediately start cultivating.

He still had one thing he wanted to do.

——Treasure hunting!

The treasure maps he had asked the Treasure Merchant Association to help collect were now complete; his holy realm had also broken through, and with nothing urgent on hand, he simply decided to dig up the maps.

The location of this treasure map is hard to find; it requires comparing area by area.

Li Li and Zhang Fan were cultivating, so he didn't disturb them; he opened the world map himself and compared region by region.

Looking at the map seems easy, but actually searching for it is quite a hassle!

The Zhu Shen Da Lu continent is enormous—its land area is a hundred times that of Blue Star.

On such a vast land, dividing it into 20‑kilometer‑sized small regions already yields hundreds of thousands of areas; moreover, the spots marked on the treasure map are even smaller.

Moreover, the black‑and‑white lines on the treasure map's parchment are themselves a bit blurry; comparing them becomes vague and extremely aggravating.

Xiao Feng spent over an hour just comparing all the regions of Storm City, but found nothing.

He prepared to switch to Blazing City and continue searching.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly sounded.

【Dai Ni Si requests to enter the Xiao residence; agree?】

This is the home owner's management permission; anyone who wants to enter the residence will encounter this reminder.

Dai Ni Si……

Xiao Feng's mouth twitched.

"They sold out that fast? The City Defense Army works pretty quickly."

He chose to agree.

The residence gate pushed open, and a white‑clad girl walked in.

"Xiao Feng Warrior~"

Dai Ni Si's joyful voice shouted from the doorway.

Xiao Feng was sitting on the roof of his house looking at the map, the distance

to the gate was 1200 meters.

At that distance, even if he could hear, speaking would be a strain, so he simply didn't answer.

Dai Ni Si spotted him from afar, full of joy, and hopped and jumped toward the manor's interior.

Passing the Water Fire Training Area, she paused briefly, ran to the pond, scooped up clear water, and washed her dirty face.

"Xiao Feng Warrior, Xiao Feng Warrior~"

She happily ran to the bottom of Xiao Feng's house, looked up at him on the roof, and said: "The method you taught me is really useful—in just two hours I sold all my potions! I earned ten million gold coins!"

Speaking, she also took out a gold‑coin bag that displayed the words "Gold coins 10 million".

"Mm, selling them is fine."

Xiao Feng smiled.

This scammer, when not pulling a scam, looks rather cute in his silly way.

"Levitation Technique!"

She cast a spell, floated up, flew to the roof, and came to Xiao Feng's side.

"I tell you, everyone in this city is an idiot! You gave me such poor‑quality medicine, yet they bought it for 100,000 each, 100,000 each, without even haggling—just snapped it up!"

"I actually feel a bit sorry for them; such stupid people, even if their families are rich, can't withstand squandering—they'll go bankrupt sooner or later."

"Well, but for the sake of my ancestors' legacy, I have to do this for now. After I finish the task, I'll return the money to them—I hope they don't scold me… Well, a little scolding is actually fine, just don't beat me to death."

Dai Ni Si sat down beside him and began recounting what had just happened.

Xiao Feng couldn't help but chuckle.

An idiot calling others idiots—there's nobody like that.

A bottle of potion priced at 100,000 gold coins—of course no idiot would buy it.

Those people were all his hired "shills"; he drafted a squad from the City Defense Army, each carrying 100,000 gold coins to buy Dai Ni Si's potions.

The gold coins were expenditures from the City Lord's treasury; not just 10 million, even 1 billion could be produced at once.

Only to make Dai Ni Si's business experience a bit smoother did he refrain from bombarding her with gold coins directly.

"Still want to set up a stall? I still have potions here." Xiao Feng said with a smile.

Dai Ni Si thought it over, shook her head, and said: "Let's leave it at that for today; doing it all at once doesn't feel right—what if the God of Wealth thinks I'm cheating?"

Hmm…… that actually sounds quite reasonable.

"Then how about tomorrow? I'll give you the potions then." Xiao Feng said.

"Mm!" Dai Ni Si nodded vigorously.

She turned her head to look at Xiao Feng and suddenly said: "Xiao Feng Warrior, I previously missed"

"blame you, actually you're a good person; it's all my fault—I shouldn't have been extorting your money every time we met."

Yo, this is an apology?

Xiao Feng smiled wryly, "You didn't scam me either, and you even gave me an extra 35,000 gold coins."

Er, seems right too...

Dai Ni Si pursed her lips.

Then she thought of something, feeling a bit sad, she said: "Um... can I ask you for a favor?"

"What is it? You want me to free your Mother Goddess?" Xiao Feng guessed her thought.

Dai Ni Si nodded and said: "Yes, today's events are all my fault; I shouldn't have provoked you, causing the Mother Goddess to think you're a bad person and duel you. In the end, things turned out like this, it's all my fault. I now know I was wrong, I beg your forgiveness; if you're angry, punish me, the Mother Goddess is innocent~"

While speaking, she looked utterly sincere, almost kowtowing to Xiao Feng.

Well...

Xiao Feng is impervious to both soft and hard tactics; even if she uses a soft, coquettish tone to beg for mercy and act cute, it's useless.

However, bluntly refusing would be hurtful, so he changed his wording, replying: "Wei Er Na is very useful to me; for now I can't let her go. Let's reconsider after this major event related to the Shen Jie is over."

According to the prior agreement, the precondition for lifting Wei Er Na's master-servant contract is for the other party to bring the treasures from the Shen Jie Feng Ling Island treasury as an offering to him.

If the condition isn't met, he can completely refuse to release her, which is reasonable.

Even harsher, even if they give it, he can still renege and deny the debt.

Because the master-servant contract is very binding, Wei Er Na can no longer resist him at all; even control over her equipment is in his hands, allowing him to do almost anything he wants.

And Dai Ni Si is just a weakling, posing no threat to him.

This NPC mother-daughter pair can be said to already be in his palm; as long as he wishes, he can do anything with them.

However, Xiao Feng doesn't have any particular nasty hobbies.

Not to mention game characters; even real people don't interest him.

After all, his current biggest goal is to become a top expert in the 'Myriad Heavens' and fight against the big shots of other civilizations!

Other matters are purely a waste of energy, utterly meaningless!

"Dai Ni Si, do you have a map-checking function?"

Xiao Feng had been cross-referencing the map until he was almost blind; seeing someone approach, he just wanted to grab a strong laborer to help.

Upon hearing that, Dai Ni Si nodded and said: "Of course; we're basically no different from you adventurers, except that raising our strength is a bit more troublesome, and if we die, we truly die."

"All right, help me out!" Xiao Feng said satisfiedly, placing the treasure map parchment before her.
