Lu Yao looked at the upper right corner.
Population: 13, 395 Faith: 4, 910
Previously, in order to open the [Golden Wilderness] and subdue the Blood Knights, he had consumed nearly 90% of his Faith. But after a week, the Faith value had risen back quite a bit.
This was in addition to the harvested population of more than 1500, which could not be separated from the fixed gains of faith from a cadre of props.
Lu Yao counted the props in his hand.
Faith +1/hour: [Energy Cane], [Cactus Attachment], [Drifting Letterhead], [Magical Harpoon], [Sobbing Amber].
Faith +2/hour: [Evil Bone Whistle].
Faith +3/hour: [Statue of the Flayer].
A total of 7 props.
24 hours a day, generating 240 points of faith per day.
That’s why he recovered quickly after the haemorrhage.
Lu Yao pondered that in just a month and a half, he could save back to a faith level of 10,000+ with these props alone. With an abundance of Faith ammunition, he felt at ease.
Sitting on Isabelle and a level 60 Blood Knight, there was also a large amount of Faith Firepower. Lu Yao felt that he was initially standing firm in this Broken World.
At this time, he picked up a phone call.
It was the boss.
“You go to the company now and pick up someone for me.”
“It’s a girl, one metre seven, wearing a red dress, called Amy, short hair, in her twenties.”
“Didn’t I give you a key last week? Give her the key and don’t worry about anything else.”
“Take a cab, I’ll reimburse you for the fare.”
The boss urged, “Go early and come back early.”
Even though it was Saturday, Lu Yao had to start putting on his shoes to go out.
It couldn’t be helped.
He had to eat.
Lu Yao had a special mission in the company. That was that the boss would let him run some personal errands, such as picking up different girls to go to different places, sending different girls different gifts …… or giving things to some unknown people.
But he didn’t have much of a problem with it. Because the boss would subsidise him a monthly labour fee for this, not much, but on time. There was nothing wrong with giving money for work.
He took a taxi to the company and when he found Amy, the girl was standing next to a tall man. It was Sister Peng’s fiancé, Officer Fu Chenggang from the Criminal Police.
When he saw Lu Yao, Fu Chenggang nodded at him.
Amy’s eyes glanced over the two, “You guys know each other?”
Fu Chenggang said yes.
“That’s a coincidence.”
Amy smiled, “I’m leaving first, talk to you later.”
She took the keys, said thank you to Lu Yao and went downstairs to start a white BMW to leave.
“Smoking?” Fu Chenggang fished out a box of Liqun and handed it over.
Lu Yao shook his head, “No, thanks.”
The other party nodded and lit one for himself, “I only learnt today that Amy’s father, turns out to be your company’s Boss Huang.”
As if sensing Lu Yao’s doubt, Fu Cheng Gang took the initiative to introduce, “Amy and I have known each other for many years, and she only recently returned to China. Earlier, she approached me to talk about some work matters.”
He flicked through a sentence and changed the topic, “Lu Yao, I want to ask you about something.”
Lu Yao was on guard in his heart.
“Are you familiar with Xiaoyi?”
“Sister Peng?”
“Yeah.”
“Actually, I’ve only been in the company for a few months, and Sister Peng is quite good to me, but I actually don’t know her very well.”
“Oh.”
Fu Chenggang nodded, and he let out a laugh, “I broke up with Xiaoyi.”
Lu Yao froze.
You broke up even though you’re engaged?
“Pity.” He said heartily.
Fu Chenggang stuffed the cigarette case into his coat pocket, “Now, in my capacity as a criminal police officer, I’m going to ask you for some information.”
When he said this, it was as if he had changed into a different person, his gaze became sharp and his face carried a faint sense of oppression.
Lu Yao vaguely felt that something was wrong somewhere.
However, the police asked, so he still truthfully told everything he knew.
As a matter of fact, Lu Yao did know very little about Peng Xiaoyi.
He had the impression that Peng was a sister generation who liked to gossip. She had an eye for gossip and could talk without offending anyone, and knew the rules of the workplace well. However, she didn’t have any bad intentions either, at least to Lu Yao who had no stake in the matter.
In addition, Lu Yao only knew that Sister Peng had a cousin who was a bit like her own character.
“Xiaoyi doesn’t have a cousin.”
Fu Chenggang, however, said, “She was adopted by an elderly couple when she was a child, and she doesn’t have any relatives, nor does she have a cousin in her kinship.”
Lu Yao said tentatively, “What happened to Sister Peng?”
He looked at Fu Chenggang’s business-like attitude and realised that there might be some changes.
Fu Chenggang urged, “Today’s enquiry is about official business, please also keep it confidential.”
“Understood.”
The other party continued, “I hope you can cooperate with me and with the police ……”
Lu Yao immediately said, “I’m sorry, Officer Fu. I’m an honest person and can’t hold my tongue, instead I’ll mess up your work …… I’d better leave first.”
After saying this, he went downstairs in a flash, rode a shared bicycle and rushed home.
Disaster is always one step slower for me!
Just kidding.
Dude looks like the kind of unlucky guy who would fall for this?
You guys do your job, I’ll do mine. I’m all the way to the masses, and the high mortality rate of an informer is not suitable for a steady worker like me.
No matter what the situation is on Peng Xiaoyi’s side, Lu Yao decided to withdraw after his shift. Never take her car again, no longer talk about her, and Peng Xiaoyi only in the company contact.
……
Returning to his computer, Lu Yao felt a wave of relief.
The life of a labourer was full of dangers, it was still easier to be a trainee god.
A new prompt surfaced on the screen.
[The Garlic Tribe has been attacked by the East Sea Clan.]
Lu Yao froze.
Good lord, just going out for an hour and the East Sea Clan is fighting from the sea?
He glanced left and right and finally realised that the battlefield was at sea.
On the distant eastern sea, a sea battle broke out between the Garlic Tribe’s paddle sailing boats and the East Sea Clan’s boats.
The East Sea Clan’s canoes were chasing down the Garlic Tribe’s paddle sailing boats.
However, due to the gap in shipbuilding skills between the two sides, it resulted in the paddle sailing boat being faster and more agile than two dozen canoes even though there was only one. The paddle schooner ran over between the canoes, sinking a few of them along the way, not affecting the retreat in the slightest.
On the paddle sailing ships, the sailors stood tall and shot from a distance with their copper arrowhead bows and arrows, suppressing the bowmen on the canoes in both range and lethality.
Although there was a huge difference in numbers between the two sides, in actual combat it was instead the more numerous Donghai Clan that kept destroying their boats and killing people.
The East Sea Clan was infuriated, and one of the female captains summoned underwater sea monsters.
As soon as the three LV9 sea monsters appeared, they attacked the paddle sailing ship.
No martial virtues, right?
Lu Yao squeezed his fingers, then don’t blame the gods for coming down to beat up the little monsters.
He tapped out Miracle.
10 rounds of [Lightning] instantly fell against the three sea monster brothers!
In the flashes of blue light, the sea monsters were cleaved to death on the spot with two of them. The last sea monster was seriously injured and was directly scared to the point that it hid underwater and didn’t dare to venture out.
The little people on the paddleboat raised their arms in the air and cheered.
“The great Yao God is sheltering us!”
“The sea monsters can’t harm us!”
“The omnipotent Yao God, the invincible Yao God!”
On the other side, the crowd of the East Sea Clan was subdued by the heavenly thunderfall.
The group of canoes didn’t dare to chase after them anymore.
“They are sheltered by the gods, we can’t attack them.”
“Forget it, it’s fine if they leave, we also have the blessing of the praying gods.”
“Since the barbarians have left, we’ll bypass them.”
“Come again and I’ll finish you off! Strangers!”
“The sea is the territory of the East Sea Clan, so leave quickly!”
Although they were scared by the miracle, the East Sea Clan was still talking tough.
Lu Yao decided to set this group of villains straight today.
Praying to the gods? It’s squatting in prison.
Times have changed, kids.
