“What did you see?” Supervisor Huang asked.
“Uh… I became the number one expert in the world, plus a Nine Palace cultivator. I feel like no one can stop me now,” Lu Jing said.
Marrying four wives was too embarrassing, so naturally, he wouldn't say it out loud.
As for Guo Shouhuai leading his horse, with Lu Jing's rich work experience, unless he didn't plan to continue in the cultivation world, he would definitely keep it a secret.
As for his biggest secret, the problem of refreshing his secret power and internal force, Lu Jing didn't plan to share it with others for the time being.
Especially since Kui had warned him before that there were people from Mr. Ji mixed in the Surveillance Bureau. Supervisor Huang was certainly no problem, but if Supervisor Huang told others about him, then Mr. Ji might also find out.
So Lu Jing simply kept it a secret.
Supervisor Huang nodded, "Becoming famous at a young age and being invincible is a daydream that many young people have. Besides, you are not far from this goal, so it is normal to have such thoughts."
After a pause, he added, "So, do you know the use of this leaf now?"
“Does this thing make people daydream?”
“That's right. Using [Yi-zi 527] to make tea will make all living beings who drink this tea have a pipe dream, but since it is a dream, there will always be a moment to wake up.”
Lu Jing scratched his head. This thing felt very useless.
After all, as Supervisor Huang said, no matter how good things are in a dream, they are not real. At best, it is just a spiritual opium. Wait… Lu Jing felt like he had caught something again, and then said, "You just said living beings?"
“That's right, the effect of [Yi-zi 527] doesn't seem very eye-catching at first glance, but its rule of action is very strong. Not only humans, but also birds and beasts will be affected by it, and the word living beings is actually not very accurate.
“People from the Surveillance Bureau later tried feeding the tea brewed with it to other strange creatures and found that it also worked. At least according to current research, nothing in this world can resist its effect.”
Lu Jing stroked his chin. Listening to this, it seemed a bit interesting. Since the characteristics of this thing are so strong, perhaps it can be developed further.
If nothing else, it can be used as a small control skill, but the time is a bit too short. It basically ends from the moment the tea leaves enter the mouth to when they are swallowed into the stomach.
As Lu Jing was thinking, he heard Supervisor Huang continue, "People from the Surveillance Bureau who studied [Yi-zi 527] also discovered that a small number of strange creatures showed a certain degree of addiction to the tea brewed with [Yi-zi 527]. The effect varies in strength, and the strange creatures with strong addiction will keep drinking tea."
Okay, this thing is really just spiritual opium.
Lu Jing took the red leaf out of the teapot.
I have to say that the effect of [Yi-zi 527] is simply a true reflection of Han Shan Ke's life.
He had been pursuing longevity for so many years, and it was about to be realized, and he also planned to regain what he had lost with the help of Mr. Ji and become the supreme ruler again.
He had planned for so long, and had almost calculated everything. He was clearly only one step away from success, but he didn't expect Lu Jing to interfere at the last moment.
As a result, not only was he unable to leave Mirror Lake Valley, but he also lost his life. It was really a pipe dream, and he had nothing when he woke up.
After talking about [Yi-zi 527], Supervisor Huang did not let Lu Jing leave, but took out six copper coins.
“This is the reward that the Surveillance Bureau should have paid you after you investigated the case last time. Originally, if you were a supervisor, you could have collected this money yourself, but since you are still a disciple of the academy, I will collect the money for you.”
“No, is the Surveillance Bureau too stingy… I risked my life and was almost assassinated by Mr. Ji. In the end, the Surveillance Bureau only paid me six copper coins?” Lu Jing said dissatisfied.
“It's not six, it's three. The other three were originally Kui's, but she said that you helped her a lot this time, so she gave her three to you.” Supervisor Huang corrected.
“…”
“Don't underestimate these copper coins, they are cast by the Surveillance Bureau itself and are very useful.”
Hearing Supervisor Huang say this, Lu Jing realized that the words on the copper coins were indeed different from ordinary copper coins. The four words above were "Debts Must Be Repaid", followed by the Surveillance Bureau's iconic half-open and half-closed eye.
“If the person holding the token has already encountered misfortune, his wife, children, and parents can also use the token.”
“Later, when the Surveillance Bureau was established, dealing with strange creatures became the responsibility of the Surveillance Bureau, so the Surveillance Bureau cast these copper coins to pay the supervisors who helped investigate cases.
“Do you want money? You can directly take these copper coins to the Surveillance Bureau to exchange them. One coin can be exchanged for a thousand taels of silver, and if you don't want to exchange them for money, you can also consider using these copper coins to buy other things, such as renting strange creatures, buying elixirs, weapons, materials… or even trimming the nails of your messenger.
“In short, you can exchange these copper coins for anything provided by the Surveillance Bureau.”
This is a token, and Lu Jing is quite familiar with this kind of thing. Basically, every game has it, and some games have more than one.
However, Lu Jing estimated that under normal circumstances, this should be a module that would only be opened after they left the academy and became supervisors. Now, because of the decline of secret power and the rampant strange creatures, he had come into contact with it in advance.
Lu Jing also carefully put away the six copper coins. Although he still owed Chi a lot of money, he didn't plan to exchange them for silver for the time being.
As everyone knows, unlocking a new store and exchanging currency is not the most profitable, but it is definitely not profitable. According to Supervisor Huang, the Surveillance Bureau's store should have many cultivator-exclusive items that are not available outside.
Lu Jing planned to take a look first.
