♂?，，

  The four of them had been busy with their tasks for the past two days, fighting together in unison. Although they still maintained a basic level of vigilance, the initial estrangement and hostility between them had dissipated to some extent. The four of them sat comfortably on the sofa at the headquarters of Oni's family, Ryūjin Technologies, enjoying the service that was typically reserved for Japanese women slaves, and seemed quite pleased with themselves. Glin took a sip of his coffee and suddenly said in a flat tone:

  "Hey, Wisdo, sell me some cut food. The only redeeming quality of this guy is this damn variation skill."

  Fang Lin spread his hands and sighed with a bitter smile:

  "For the past two days, I've been giving them out for free to everyone. My stock has already been depleted, and as you know, when doing this quest, the drop rate is pitifully low. Occasionally, I'll summon a chest with a key, only to find it almost empty inside."

  "Spare me the theatrics!" Green sneered. "This guy must be hiding something good. Forget it, I didn't expect anything anyway."

  He nodded slightly, and Hammond began silently placing items on the coffee table.

  Gum: High-quality food that instantly restores 15% of stamina. However, it has no effect on severe injuries such as fractures and severed limbs. Can be carried, cannot be used in combat, can also be exchanged for 100 points.

  Chocolate: Mid-quality food that instantly restores 15% of stamina. Can be carried, cannot be used in combat, can also be exchanged for 100 points.

  Ice Cream: Low-quality food that instantly restores 25% of stamina. Can be carried, cannot be used in combat, can also be exchanged for 300 points.

  Lobster: 1000, low-quality food, can instantly restore 45% of physical strength, can be carried, cannot be used in battle, and can also be exchanged for 800 points.

  Steak: Restores 85% of stamina within 30 seconds, effect is interrupted when attacked. Can be carried, cannot be used in battle, can also be exchanged for 1000 points.

  Barbecued Fine Meat: Restores 100% of stamina within 10 seconds, effect is interrupted when attacked. Can be carried, cannot be used in combat, can also be exchanged for 1000 points.

  Fang Lin stared blankly at the food arranged on the table. Green said coldly:

  "It's cheaper today, let's practice our skills more, and we'll give a quarter of the cut food as commission."

  The next task was a given, and Fang Lin sighed as he started working as a laborer. This large pile of food had to be cut up, which was both physically demanding and required skill. After 12 hours of hard work, he finally finished processing all the food. His cutting technique also reached level 3, and according to normal logic, upgrading one more level would unlock new special effects.

  When cutting this pile of food, two special effects appeared, and the cut-out foods were:

  "Delicious Shrimp Tail: High-quality food that can continuously replenish 25% of physical strength within 60 seconds, the effect will not be interrupted, and has an accelerated recovery effect on severe injuries such as fractures and severed limbs. Can be carried, used in combat, or exchanged for 500 points."

  "Sweet ice cream, paffe, food, can instantly replenish 35% of physical strength value, and within 60 minutes, increase strength by +3, physical strength by +3. Can be carried, used in battle, or exchanged for 800 points."

  These two foods with special effects are naturally mouth-watering, even the indifferent Hammond is slightly moved, and his face reveals joy. After all, these rare things may be able to decide a person's life and death at critical moments. And most of the other foods can also be used in battle, with a cooldown time of mostly 2 minutes, which is much better than the cooldown time of several hours for medicines purchased in space.

  About half an hour later, Yasuda walked over and said in a low voice to Hayashi:

  "Mr. Lin, the president has summoned you."

  Fang Lin was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said:

  "What's wrong?"

  Yasuda Kyōkō bowed and said:

  "I don't know either, but it seems the company president is quite pleased."

  Fang Lin nodded and said:

  "I'm going up right now."

  He also made a gesture to Hu Hua-Hao, asking him to be prepared and come up to respond if there was any sudden event. He then took the elevator to Li Pei-Ji's CEO office, where he saw the gang leader on the phone with a spring breeze, but his expression was quite respectful. After about half an hour of conversation, he finally hung up the phone.

  Fang Lin sat casually on the sofa, smiling and saying:

  "It seems that the company president has gained recognition from headquarters."

  Li Peiji was taken aback:

  "How do I know?"

  "Who else could make the company president speak so respectfully, apart from the headquarters' elder?"

  Li Peiji's expression suddenly became calm and he smiled:

  "His skills are quite impressive, not only in observing facial expressions but also in being able to clear out the nails that opposed our Ghost Society within just two days. He's certainly put in a lot of effort."

  Fang Lin smiled and said:

  "I've taken people's money and helped them resolve their troubles. I've also gained a lot of benefits from being the village head, it's an equal exchange, can't say who's taking advantage of whom."

  Li Peiji lit a cigarette and took a drag, saying excitedly:

  "Under the current situation, the opposing forces within Nara City have been largely eliminated. Headquarters was surprised to hear this and decided to seize this great opportunity to open up a breakthrough in Japan. In order to strengthen our company's power and support me in completely cutting ties with the Honda family, forming two opposing factions, we've specially invited a mysterious expert to counter Japan's number one sumo wrestler, Edmund Honda. He will arrive tomorrow morning!"

  A flash of electricity ran through Fang Lin's mind, and he secretly speculated in his heart: "The mysterious master who was invited by the Hongmen, who can rival Edmond Honda, could it be...?"

  He rapidly went through all the clues he had grasped from head to toe, and a strong idea suddenly flashed in his mind. After thinking for a moment, he tentatively said:

  "How many of the remaining people sent by headquarters have arrived?"

  Li Peiji gazed at him deeply and said vaguely:

  "It should be possible to counter Honda's family, as for Haruaki Shrine, I will seek the support of the Seven Great Temples."

  Fang Lin knew that the village head's city was equally deep, and he smiled slightly, seemingly careless:

  "Is it that the president is only considering passive defense? The Hongmen's large-scale entry into Japan's Nara black path, even if hidden well, can't guarantee not being discovered by the people of the seven major temples over time. If they find out the truth, they might immediately turn around and unite with the Kasuga Taisha Shrine to drive them out, or worse, kill them and then look for a puppet to take their place. Ah, Miyata is a very good candidate."

  The last sentence directly hit Li Peiji's sore spot, and his face sank as he said:

  "Speak your mind!"

  Fang Lin's smile disappeared as he said seriously:

  "I wonder if the company president is interested in directly eliminating Honda? Just uproot the entire Honda family and the Kasuga Shrine! Then, even if the Seven Great Temples find out the truth later, their wings will be full-fledged, and they won't be able to contend with us!"

  Li Peiji was taken aback and said:

  "This... I'm afraid it's going to be very difficult?"

  Fang Lin's eyes were cold and distant as he said:

  "What if the master of the divine palace and the five wheels inside are all gone?"

  Upon hearing the words "Fangzhu" and "Wulunjiang", Li Peiji's body trembled, and the teacup in his hand smashed to the ground with a loud crash! It wasn't until half a minute later that he spoke in a daze:

  "How did you know?"

  "I also know that even the chief priest of the Spring Temple, Soen Shuon, died four days ago! Fang Lin said with deep meaning: 'The master of the Spring Temple and the five wheels inside the temple have gone to Tokyo, they will not return until two days later... The opportunity is not to be missed...'".

  He dragged out that last word for a long time, as if he had not finished what he wanted to say, so Li Peiji couldn't help but silently recite the four words "lost cannot come" in his heart twice. He took a deep breath and said:

  "Are you telling the truth? How come I haven't heard anything about it?"

  "It's only a ghost if you can hear it, that's just the way the world of nightmares is arranged to complete my task." Fang Lin thought to himself with a hint of a smile, but his face remained calm as he said:

  "There are 18 hours to investigate the truth of what I said - because if you want to take action, at least 20 hours are needed for planning, taking action and wrapping up, and finally leaving 10 hours as a buffer."
