(Please subscribe)_3 …
Inside the Astronomy Association, it didn’t quite match what I had expected.
It felt like returning to the flourishing literary and artistic clubs of my college days…
Xu Shu followed silently, and shortly after entering a side door, he walked down a long corridor flanked by glass windows that hid the contents of the secure rooms within, reminiscent of interrogation rooms.
“Mr.
Xu Shu, please wait a mont.
We have notified the notary to co over.
Rest assured, the Astronomy Association is enveloped by an Array.
Nothing that happens here will leak out,” the attendant said with an elegant posture, very politely.
“Okay, thank you,” Xu Shu thanked her and took out Lu Bingwei’s watch-shaped Promotion Drive, idly fiddling with it on the table.
After waiting for about ten minutes, the door of the secure room opened, and in ca a slender, short-haired man around forty years old, wearing glasses and exuding a refined deanor, who greeted him as he entered.
“Hello, Mr.
Xu…” He paused when he saw how young Xu Shu looked.
But he quickly continued, sitting down familiarly and saying:
“Heh, sorry to keep you waiting.
I’m the notary on duty today, you can just call Li Tao.
The bounty target’s Promotion Drive…
is this it?” Li Tao said, looking at the watch Xu Shu was playing with and smoothly asking.
“Yes,” Xu Shu handed the watch over.
“One mont, let verify it.”
Li Tao opened his own Promotion network, and Xu Shu noticed that he accessed a channel he had never seen before, guessing that it might be the internal channel for Second Order mbers of the Astronomy Association.
Then, Li Tao shone the watch onto the device and electric currents transmitted back and forth, quickly condensing so information on the screen:
[Identity verification successful]
[Wanted criminal: Lu Bingwei (Tyrant Spear), Second Order Sentinel]
[Death information: Mid-November, Eastern Combat Zone, slain by First-tier Warrior Gu Pan (Sequence 0-08-1314)—(Verified and uploaded by Lie Zhenzi, disclosure punishable by law)]
[Astronomy Association bounty: 50 Contribution Points]
This interface wasn’t hidden, so Xu Shu could see it.
Xu Shu naturally focused on the last item about the bounty, thinking that 50 points wasn’t bad at all; indeed, it was like encountering a walking 500,000…
“Woo, woo…” Suddenly, Li Tao covered his face, crying out in pain.
“…” Xu Shu’s initial joy froze imdiately, sensing sothing was amiss.
Could it be that this Lu Bingwei actually had connections within the Astronomy Association, that he was so relative of his?
This was seriously not good…
As he was on alert, Li Tao quickly composed himself and said, “I’m sorry, this criminal had so entanglent with my father, I apologize for the emotional outburst.”
“Uh, no problem,” Xu Shu didn’t inquire further as the other party didn’t offer more information.
“Alright, the information checks out.
Open your transaction portal so I, as the notary, can directly issue the bounty amount,” Li Tao said.
However, Xu Shu’s expression stiffened, “Hm?
Open what now?”
Li Tao: “Hm?
Your transaction portal, don’t you know how?
Just open the transaction area.”
“…Oh, it’s just that, I can’t open the transaction area yet.”
Li Tao: “Are you serious or joking?”
“Of course, I’m serious.”
Xu Shu thought for a mont, clicked sothing, and soon a popup window appeared on the screen—
[Please pay 20 Contribution Points to purchase the Mirror of Illusion and Reality…]
[Failed, your balance is insufficient.]
Xu Shu spread his hands and turned the screen toward him: “See for yourself.”
“?” Li Tao quietly observed Xu Shu.
“…” Xu Shu also watched Li Tao quietly.
The two shared a silent stare for a full five minutes.
Suddenly, the entire spacious secure room fell into complete silence.
