Chapter 205

"It's hard to buy a large flat in a prime area of Kangyang District with twenty million, unless it's an apartment, but even then it won't exceed 150 square meters. It's too small to accommodate your team members, and not dignified enough."

Fu Qingyang pondered for a few seconds, then said slowly, "I have a suggestion. The cheapest villa in FQJ is about eighty million. The authorities have rewarded you with ten million this time. Sell a few of your less frequently used items – you can sell them yourself, or I can help. Add that to the twenty million I promised you. See how much you can gather. I'll lend you the rest."

*Why is Fu Qingyang so enthusiastic? Why is the Money Prince caring about such trivial matters...?* Zhang Yuanqing thought, immediately doing the mental math.

A decent transcendent-level item can sell for over ten million. That transcendent item I have in the gang's warehouse isn't very useful anymore. Selling one or two won't hurt. But even so, it'll be difficult to scrape together eighty million. *Sigh, the most expensive thing in the world is still housing…* Zhang Yuanqing immediately took out the fiery red half-finger glove and the large-caliber pistol, placing them on the desk. "These two items can be sold!"

The Brute Gauntlet and Burst Pistol were both offensive items. They posed no threat to Saint-level enemies and were useless against transcendent-level enemies. Combined with the price of "reckless impulse," their cost-effectiveness was low.

Actually, the Bloodthirsty Blade could also be sold, but Zhang Yuanqing currently only had that one melee weapon. Having one was better than nothing. Fu Qingyang glanced at the items, picked up the Brute Gauntlet, and read the item information. After a few seconds, he assessed, "The glove is worth thirteen million, the pistol is worth ten million." The latter was the reward he gave to Yuanshi, so he knew the value of the gun. Zhang Yuanqing nodded. "No problem!"

The prices of the two items were within a reasonable range, even slightly above market value. The Money Prince, who was so convincing with his virtue, was always convincing when it came to money. There would never be any haggling. "Alright, I'll have my assistant handle the transfer formalities later," Fu Qingyang said.

Zhang Yuanqing then remembered that FQJ was the Fu family's property, and the property management company was also under the Fu family. Fu Qingyang didn't actually need to lend him cash at all and could instead make him owe thirty million. However, villas in FQJ were in the commercial center of Kangyang District, a prime location. Buying a house here would never be a loss.

After discussing the office location, Fu Qingyang took out a wooden music box from his inventory, painted red, with pictures of curled-up, sleeping babies on the surface.

"Hypnotic Box. Opening the lid will play a hypnotic melody. Anyone who hears the music will fall asleep. Among transcendent-level practitioners, only Musicians, Illusionists, and Night Watchers can barely resist it for a moment. Other professions will fall asleep immediately. Even Saint-level experts will be affected, becoming drowsy and less mentally agile. The hypnotic music lasts for five minutes, and the hypnotic effect disappears when the music ends," Fu Qingyang described the item's properties.

"The price is that every time you use this item, you must get 12 hours of sleep within 24 hours. Whether in terms of the item's function or its price, it's a godsend for insomniacs."

"Crowd control is exactly what I need," Zhang Yuanqing nodded in agreement. The Star Official lacked crowd attack skills, so this item made up for the deficiency. Fu Qingyang took out the second item, a silver necklace, and said,

"Lucky Necklace. As the name suggests, it can increase the wearer's luck value. For example, finding money on the street, being favored by high-quality members of the opposite sex, and generally having things go your way. Of course, the luck bonus has limitations. It can let you find a hundred yuan every day, but you won't find ten million. It can get you a reservation at a packed internet-famous restaurant, but it can't let you win the lottery."

"Because lotteries are a tax on the poor, and winning a big prize is itself a zero-probability event?" Zhang Yuanqing quipped. "Don't always say things that lack political awareness!" Fu Qingyang criticized, then continued to introduce the item's properties.

"Its price isn't serious. The wearer is prone to having the delusion that they are a 'chosen one', becoming conceited and vain. Most importantly, using it will allow you to be somewhat immune to the Curse Master's reduction of fortune and lower the intensity of curses."

At this moment, the "gentle" bunny girl knocked on the study door and stood gracefully at the entrance, saying, "Master, Mr. Bill is visiting!"

Fu Qingyang pondered for a moment and replied, "Please ask him to go to the reception room. I'll be right there." The bunny girl closed the door and left. Fu Qingyang took out the remaining items and placed them on the desk, saying, "Look at them yourself!"

"With these items, use those things from unknown sources less often in the future."

After saying that, under Zhang Yuanqing's suddenly changing gaze, he stood up unhurriedly and left the study along the red carpet.

*Use those things from unknown sources less often…* Zhang Yuanqing stood blankly for a long time, took a deep breath, and his expression and eyes returned to calmness. He turned his attention back to the items. Besides the Hypnotic Box and the Lucky Necklace, there were three other items.

A wooden bracelet, a flexible steel sword, and a heart-guarding mirror. He first picked up the wooden bracelet to check its properties:
[Name: Beast Speaker]
[Type: Accessory]
[Function: Animal Language, Beast Control]
[Description: An item that can communicate with beasts and gain their goodwill.]
[Note: Do you remember whether the human language is "Woof woof woof" or "Meow meow meow"?]

An auxiliary item with a function that overlaps with my Mountain God Staff, and the price is language confusion? Zhang Yuanqing casually put down the bracelet. This item could be placed in the warehouse for gang members or teammates to use as a benefit.

Next, he picked up the flexible steel sword. It was about a meter long, with a bowl-shaped guard, a Western weapon that often appeared in Western TV series. Nobles would often draw such a slender sword during duels.

[Name: Sword Master]
[Type: Weapon]
[Function: Swordsmanship]
[Description: It used to be a Western swordsman's favorite weapon. That swordsman was obsessed with Chinese sword immortal legends and deeply believed in the existence of item spirits. In order to create the legendary item spirit, he washed the sword with his mental power, day after day. After many years, this weapon really developed its own consciousness.]
[Note: You can teach me how to do things, but never teach me swordsmanship.]

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment, summoned the ghost bride, and ordered her to manipulate objects to attack him. The ghost bride immediately made a stack of books float up and smash towards her husband.

At this moment, the rapier in Zhang Yuanqing's hand actively raised its tip, either pointing, stabbing, sweeping, or chopping, cutting down the books that were smashed over. The whole process was not controlled by Zhang Yuanqing at all. It was completely defending itself.

"A sword that can fight on its own is like the leader's staff. The user is just a tool, and the sword is the main body."

Zhang Yuanqing completely understood the properties of this item. He was both delighted and speechless. He was delighted because such a mature item was rare and the swordsmanship was superb. Even a fighting novice could become a sword master when holding it.

Also, because it was an item for the scout profession, it could predict the trajectory of the enemy's attacks and defend against them perfectly.

The disadvantage was that it was too opinionated. You couldn't control it. If you tried to control it forcefully, there would be a struggle, which would be fatal in battle. In other words, he couldn't have his own ideas during combat. He couldn't think about sneaking up on the enemy because it would conflict with the Sword Master.

"It can be used as an emergency when encountering particularly strong melee opponents or when being ambushed. Or it can be given to Xie Lingxi, that girl. Musicians aren't good at fighting, so it's good for her to protect herself. She'll definitely happily say thank you to her brother!"

The last item:
[Name: Unyielding Heart-Protecting Mirror]
[Type: Armor]
[Function: Defense]
[Description: A defensive item polished by a powerful Mountain God. It can increase the wearer's endurance and defense. Wearing it during copulation can gain experience points. Legend has it that an supreme existence cultivated with three thousand women and ascended to immortality in broad daylight.]
[Note: An excellent item should not make its owner bear a price.]

Looking at the item's properties, Zhang Yuanqing's mind was filled with question marks and exclamation points. He marveled because, apart from consumables, he had never seen an item without any price. The heart-protecting mirror was the first. It was truly a "gentle" item.

And the question mark was, what was this "copulation increases experience points"?

Was there really such a good thing in the world? Was it really a Earth-type item? Was it really an item for the Honest Man profession? His mind was full of questions.

*Cultivating with three thousand women and ascending to immortality in broad daylight, the Central Court, the Five Elements belong to Earth…* Zhang Yuanqing fell into deep thought. This item description reminded him of a legendary figure.

As everyone knew, item information often contained some important information.

The old codger in the game said that the myths passed down from ancient times were "another history of the Lingjing Xingzhe group… Among the Five Elements, the Yellow Emperor belongs to Earth and resides in the Central Court, which happens to fit the Earth-type profession, while the Red Fire Gang claims to be the descendants of the Yan Emperor and worship the Minotaur. The Yan Emperor belongs to Fire in the Five Elements…" Zhang Yuanqing suddenly realized that the gang names and professional habits of the Five Elements Alliance all had certain meanings behind them.

"It's good to take a look at the characteristics of the major local professions. Hmm, treat the professions as counterparts to myths…" Zhang Yuanqing took out his phone and sent a message to Guan Ya, "Sister Guan Ya, come to the study, bring your computer." He couldn't log in to Fu Qingyang's computer. A few minutes later, Guan Ya, wearing a white shirt and knee-length skirt, entered the study holding a laptop. - The FQJ villa was now the patrol team's base.

Zhang Yuanqing sat down behind the desk, turned on the computer, and logged into the official database while pulling Guan Ya beside him, letting her sit on his lap.

"You're sitting in Fu Qingyang's seat, flirting with his cousin. Aren't you afraid he'll use a *skill-near-dao* on you?" Guan Ya said unhappily. Zhang Yuanqing was still practical. Thinking it made sense, he pulled Guan Ya to the guest sofa. Guan Ya reluctantly placed her round buttocks on Zhang Yuanqing's lap, and changed the subject, saying, "What do you want to see?"

"I want to understand the skills of the major professions in the main body, from transcendent to saint, so I don't get tricked when patrolling in the future." Zhang Yuanqing smelled the faint fragrance from the mixed-blood mature woman and felt the elastic and soft buttocks.

Hearing this, Guan Ya took the initiative to pick up the computer. "Let me find it for you. I have a professional summary post saved…" As she spoke, she logged out of the "Yuanshi Tianzun" account, logged into her own ID, and opened a "Lawful, Evil Alignment Professional Introduction" post in her favorites.

[Lawful Alignment:]

[Scout: Active skills: Sharp Eyes, Sharp Heart, Insight. Passive skills: Scout Body, Deterrence, Master of Deduction.]
[Swordsman: Active skills: Sword Qi, Sword Control, Desperate Gambit. Passive skills: Swordplay Specialization, Iron Will, Armor Penetration, Evil Deterrence.]

[Skill introduction: Sharp Eyes - can enhance vision, dynamic capture superpower; Sharp Heart - enhances observation, discovers details that ordinary people don't notice; Insight - a skill that combines the mind and eye, can read people's hearts, can detect the aura of nearby Lingjing Xingzhe.]

[Scout Body - improves agility, strength, reaction speed, and endurance, is good at tracking, is good at fighting; Deterrence - deters targets, those with weak minds will choose to submit; Master of Deduction - has super logic and reasoning ability.]

[Sword Qi - attaches sword energy to weapons, making ordinary iron as sharp as cutting gold and jade. The power increases with level, and later sword energy can be cut out; Sword Control - manipulates weapons to fly ten meters away, the number and distance of weapons increase with level; Desperate Gambit - the more injured, the sharper the sword energy.]

[Swordplay Specialization - has extremely strong swordplay talent; Iron Will - can resist illusions and improve resistance to mental attacks; Armor Penetration - specializes in breaking defensive skills and props; Evil Deterrence - deters vengeful spirits and evil spirits.]

*"Insight" and "Master of Deduction" can detect whether her husband is cheating, and "Swordplay Specialization" can kill the scumbag after discovering that her husband is cheating…* Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but glance at Guan Ya, saying, "Sister Guan Ya, I will definitely be devoted to you in the future." Guan Ya glanced at him and snorted twice.

[Fire Master: Active skills: Fire Control, Explosion, Fire Travel, Gathering Fire into Soldiers. Passive skills: Invasion Like Fire, Will of Fire.]

[Berserker: Active skills: Rage. Passive skills: Lava Body.]

The Fire Master's skills were unusually simple. According to the skill introduction, one word could sum it up: "playing with fire". Fire itself was the most terrible element in the world. High temperature and explosion were the nemesis of all carbon-based life and combustibles.

So it didn't need fancy moves.

The passive skill "Invasion Like Fire" gave the Fire Master unparalleled agility, and "Will of Fire" was the root of the Fire Master's reckless impulses. "Lava Body" was fire resistance. This passive skill allowed the Berserker to bathe in a volcano.

The active skill was interesting. The Berserker only had this one active skill. Level 4 increased combat power by one time, Level 5 increased it by two times, and Level 6 increased it by three times.

Simple but terrible. Therefore, the Berserker had the title of a small invincible at the Saint level.

[Wood Nymph: Active skills: Child of the Forest, Climber, Self-Healing, Gardener; Passive skills: Resurrection, Super Strength, Spirit of Plants (different plants have different habits, mostly for reproduction).]

[Beast King: Active skills: Beast Control, Animal Speaker, King of Beasts; Passive skills: Resurrection.]

[Water Ghost: Active skills: Water Control, Water Quality Purifier, Water Travel Dragon King. Passive skills: Water Spirit Body, Flexibility.]

[Plague God: Active skills: Disease, Spread, Plague God, Water Stripper. Passive skills: Immunity to All Diseases.]

[Earth Monster: Active skills: Armor, Child of the Earth. Passive skills: Endurance, Honest Person.]

[Mountain God: Active skills: Spirit of the Earth Veins, Earth Escape, Mountain God; Passive: Mountain God Will, Dual Cultivation.]

It was worth mentioning that the ability of "Spirit of the Earth Veins" was to absorb the power of the Earth Veins in exchange for an endless source of physical strength and increase combat power. The ability of "Mountain God" was to refine an area and become the master of that area, which could mutate plants and manipulate mountain spirits.

"What kind of evil art is Dual Cultivation?" Zhang Yuanqing looked at Guan Ya.

"An evil art to increase experience points," Guan Ya replied succinctly, reminding him, "Dual Cultivation is a skill that Mountain Gods are proud of. You can't slander Dual Cultivation in front of them. Otherwise, it's like shouting 'Minotaur must die' in front of a Fire Master, which will offend the public."

Zhang Yuanqing finally understood why the Mountain God Scepter, which should belong to the Earth-type profession, would stimulate people's desire for reproduction like the Wood Nymph's item. "The lawful professions are more evil than the other," Zhang Yuanqing said with emotion. Guan Ya rolled her eyes.

"Yin and Yang harmonization, the union of man and woman, has been the great way since ancient times. It is the right way for human beings to reproduce and expand their group. Who told you it was an evil art? In this world, marriage and childbearing are always above everything else. It is the same now. Hard work to earn money is just for marrying a wife and having children, cultivating the next generation?"

"Unilaterally suppressing the nature of reproduction and denouncing it as the mainstream thought of the lower classes is the real evil. Those who claim to have escaped from the low-level tastes are either hypocritical or on the evil path."

"Then let's harmonize Yin and Yang too." Zhang Yuanqing's hands kept caressing Guan Ya's small waist. "Look at the data, don't…"

[Musician: Active skills: Soothing, Encouragement, Hypnosis; Passive skills: Beautiful Voice, Musical Instrument Talent.]

[Star Official: Active skills: Charm, Love Thread, Childcare; Passive skills: Beautiful Figure, Teasing.]

Zhang Yuanqing was stunned for a moment. "The Musician is even more evil, and, and, and, isn't this the Eastern version of the Love Desire profession."

He knew that the Musician had a charm bonus. The "cute hairpin" back then was proof, but after reading all the skill introductions of the Star Official, Zhang Yuanqing found that it was very similar to the Love Desire profession.

For example, the Star Official could draw red threads. If he took a fancy to a woman (man), he could draw a red thread between them to promote a marriage. Of course, drawing a red thread had a time limit, not permanent.

At the same time, the Star Official could also break red threads and ruin marriages, which was extremely terrifying. "Also, the Musician and the Star Official don't feel very connected," he said. Guan Ya, as expected of someone from a large family, taught earnestly,

"They are connected. Soothing + hypnosis can have another explanation: lullaby! Who would sing a lullaby? It's a mother, and one of the core skills of the Star Official is Childcare, so how can the two not be connected?"

"The master-level Musician is called 'Siming'. Siming is in charge of life and 'birth'. Lullaby, red thread marriage, childcare, life… The core of the Musician profession is pregnancy. The core of the Love Desire profession is lust."

Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment and was speechless. He had to continue reading.

[Scholar: Active skills: None! Passive skills: Memory, Learning, Research, Academic Soul.] The only profession at the transcendent level without an active skill.

But at the Saint level, they were simply erudite masters. Except for not being good at close combat, they had mastered all kinds of skills. Not being good at close combat didn't mean they couldn't fight.

Next was the evil alignment. Zhang Yuanqing had already seen the profession information of the Bewitching Imp, so he looked directly at the Witch and the Illusionist.

[Witch: Active skills: Witchcraft (cultivating Gu poison and Gu beasts), Gu Control, Gu Transformation; Passive skills: Gu Body, Cold-Blooded.]

[Spirit Communicator: Active skills: Blessing, Reduce Fortune, Curse; Passive skills: Inspiration.]

Zhang Yuanqing had seen the three active skills of the Witch many times, but he wasn't very clear about the passive skills. "Gu Body" was the basis for the Witch to be immune to Gu poison and Gu transformation.

"Cold-Blooded" was to reduce the humanity of the Witch, annihilate emotions, and turn them into cold-blooded killers, reducing the impact of fear, pity, and other emotions. After each Witch transformed into Gu, their beastliness was greater than their humanity.

According to the skill introduction, the so-called spirit communication of the Spirit Communicator was not with vengeful spirits, but with the supreme existence in the dark. The higher the inspiration, the stronger the effect of blessing, reducing fortune, and cursing when performing rituals.

Witches released poison and Gu, insidious and vicious, while Spirit Communicators were even more insidious and weird, hiding behind the scenes and killing people from thousands of miles away.

[Illusionist: Active skills: Illusion, Transformation, Telepathy, Mental Strike; Passive skills: Resonance, Emotion Guidance.]

[Dream Weaver: Enter Dreams, Devour Dreams, Dream Jumping, Dream Weaver, Dream Domination; Passive skill: Mental Resistance.]

Except for not being good at close combat, this profession was both weird and cowardly.

And they could come and go freely in their own dreams, making it impossible to catch them. Just looking at the skills of the Illusionist and Dream Weaver, you knew that this was a very difficult profession, especially the Dream Weaver, who could kill people invisibly, kill people in dreams, without leaving a trace.

"Overall, except for the Bewitching Imp who is more tough, the other two evil professions are good at hiding and are difficult to catch," Zhang Yuanqing said with emotion.

Guan Ya closed the computer and said,

"Have you finished looking? Now let's go see the new villa you bought. If the environment is good, I might consider occupying a room and living there occasionally. Hmm, I have to ask Fu Qingyang for a copy of the villa's key. By the way, for the housekeeping, he can arrange for two bunny girls to be responsible. Anyway, the villa is next door." Zhang Yuanqing was stunned, listening in a daze. "This is what I just decided. Why do you seem to have planned it a long time ago?" Guan Ya glanced at him.

"Why do you think Fu Qingyang took the initiative to mention the office location? He was guiding you to buy the small villa next door for eighty million. I asked him to do it. Hmph, the Queen has been clamoring to come to Songhai. I invited her a few days ago, and she refused coyly. She just wants to follow you. I'm a scout. I can see her little thoughts even through the screen."

"And that Xie Lingxi, so devious. I don't feel comfortable with her following you. So, instead of letting you choose an office location outside, it's better to choose it in FQJ, so that all your actions are under Fu Qingyang's insight. I'm also relieved."

"And you, I saw through your little thoughts a long time ago. What's wrong, Master wants to lead the beauties, accompanied by beauties in and out?" Zhang Yuanqing covered his chest, feeling that his sincere feelings had been deceived and that the trust between people had been trampled mercilessly. His heart ached so much that he could hardly breathe. "Your siblings are bullying honest people like this. Doesn't your conscience hurt?"

ps: Originally, I wanted to introduce the skills of the major professions one by one, but after writing the scout profession, I felt that something was wrong. There are seven major professions and dozens of skills. If I write in detail one by one, it will be too much. But this kind of professional information summary is necessary. After writing more than a million words, many readers have not figured out the professional names and skills. It is time to give a detailed summary.
