Free Web NovelMingxi didn't know that good fortune was about to descend upon her.
After exchanging a few pleasantries with the Beast Tamers whose attitudes towards her had drastically changed, she prepared to leave.
It wasn't that she had any issues with these people.
Rather, she was eager to go back and tally her gains!
"Miss Ming, please wait a moment!"
Wang Pinglu came to Mingxi's side.
Mingxi stopped and looked at him, "Director Wang, is something the matter?"
She already knew Wang Pinglu's identity: Wang Chen's direct paternal uncle and the current Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau of Dragonflower Country.
"It's not very convenient to talk here. Could we move somewhere else?"
Although Mingxi was eager to go home, she wasn't an unreasonable hothead.
She understood why he was approaching her.
After some thought, she agreed.
The Special Administration Bureau had set up a relatively civilized and harmonious temporary office area in Pink Mansion.
As soon as Mingxi sat down on the soft sofa chair, /N_o_v_e_l_i_g_h_t/ a Staff Member from the Special Administration Bureau brought out a pile of cakes, snacks, and various drinks.
They covered the entire coffee table.
"Miss Ming, you must be hungry after working for so long, right? These are some snacks we brought with us. If you like them, please eat them all. If it's not enough, or if there's nothing you like, we'll go buy more."
Mingxi: "...Thank you, this is enough."
It was enough to feed ten or eight strong men.
She, alone, probably couldn't digest it all.
What made it even harder for her to bear was how the young man looked at her, as if his gaze would burn a hole through her.
It was more than just fiery enthusiasm; it was practically a volcanic eruption.
Mingxi: "..."
"Xiao Yu, you go out first!"
Noticing Mingxi's awkwardness, Wang Pinglu irritably chased him out!
"Miss Ming, please don't mind him. He's your monitor. Because your data in the Secret Realm was a bit... special, he's very curious about you, so it's understandable that he's a bit..."
Mingxi raised an eyebrow, "Is my data very special?"
Wang Pinglu nodded.
"For a period of time, your brainwave fluctuation values were extremely exaggerated, with the highest upward point reaching 18%. This is an incredibly unbelievable value.
It might even be a value that has never appeared in human history!"
Mingxi was also surprised by this value; she knew the upper limit of brainwave fluctuations.
She then asked, "Did the change in my brainwave fluctuations occur about 12 or 13 minutes after I entered the Secret Realm?"
"That's right. Taking your step into the passage as the starting time, the highest upward points appeared at 36 minutes and 22 seconds, and 37 minutes and 55 seconds, respectively."
Mingxi understood.
These two time points should be when she was looking at those two chessboards.
In other words, when she looked at those 'characters,' her brainwave fluctuations would show non-human upward fluctuations!
Mingxi thought of the situation when she underwent her transcendent awakening.
Could observing those 'characters' improve brain development?
Wang Pinglu had been observing Mingxi's expression, trying to discern something from her face.
But this girl was calmer than he imagined. There were some changes in her expression, but very few true emotions were revealed.
If he had to describe her current demeanor with one word, it would be — steady.
It seemed impossible to get her to reveal anything on her own initiative.
He had been too presumptuous.
Young, with an ordinary family background, how could a child who reached Mingxi's current height be simple-minded and easily fooled?
"You must have been deciphering the rules of the Chess Bridge at that time, right?"
Mingxi looked up at Wang Pinglu.
It made sense how someone so young could become the Deputy Director of the Special Administration Bureau.
Putting everything else aside, his methods for probing people's minds were incredibly skillful.
Alas, these adults.
Their hearts are tainted.
Wang Pinglu first sent out the exaggerated Xiao Yu to get her attention.
Then he would explain, making her drop her guard and feel good about him, while also possibly prompting her to reveal the reason for her brainwave fluctuations at that time.
Considering her age and background, this possibility wasn't necessarily high, but it was at least 80%!
Unfortunately, Mingxi was not a normal high school student.
He gained nothing and could only be direct.
But this direct approach, well, it was more about emotional comfort than probing.
Because he knew the answer to that question perfectly well.
So the essence of this question was to provide her with emotional value.
Young people, after all, are prone to vanity, and vanity often comes with showing off.
Mingxi sighed, "Director Wang, just tell me what you want directly. As long as the price you offer is high enough, I'm not unwilling to tell you everything."
She was truly in a hurry.
She didn't want to waste time on pretense with people.
Wang Pinglu was stunned, as if he hadn't expected her to be so direct, nor that she would see through his tactics.
The method that had been foolproof with his nieces and nephews had finally met its Waterloo.
This girl... was indeed unique.
"Alright! Then I won't bother with the pretense.
Our Special Administration Bureau wants to exchange for the method of deciphering the Chess Bridge, as well as the activation conditions and situation of the Thirteenth Floor."
"As for the exchange conditions..." He thought for a moment. freēwebnovel.com
He wasn't confident about the matter his nephew brought up right now, and even if he were, it would be a gift of gratitude and goodwill.
So he asked, "Miss Ming, do you have any needs? star coins? Materials? Items? Or Secret Realm quotas?"
Mingxi also considered it seriously.
She wasn't short on star coins for now, but more materials would be better. Currently, the special energy pills for Golden Silverstorm were no longer a matter of money, but a problem of very rare production materials.
Items were also good; Golden Silverstorm and she herself needed them.
As for Secret Realm quotas?
Naturally, the more, the better.
"Director Wang, what materials and items can you provide me, and which Secret Realms have quotas? Can I choose them myself?"
Wang Pinglu asked Mingxi to wait, then turned and went out to report the situation to the Director of the Special Administration Bureau.
Although he held a position of real power, the Special Administration Bureau was not his personal domain; he still had a superior.
This matter was significant, so he had to report it to his superior, and the specific course of action should be decided by him.
This phone call lasted a full twenty minutes.
During this time, Mingxi also called Chu Kuangsheng. Because the Chess Bridge was related to 'mysterious characters,' she wasn't sure if she could talk about it.
As for whether the call would be monitored here.
Ever since the incident with Wei Yangang, when she was tracked by the Special Criminal Bureau for a period, Mingxi later spent a large sum of money to buy an S-grade ultrasonic shield.
Before making a call, she would activate the shield, ensuring no one could monitor her.
"...You mean you went to the Qi Palace Secret Realm and even deciphered the rules of the Chess Bridge?!" Chu Kuangsheng's voice was a bit loud.
Like a clap of thunder in broad daylight.
Mingxi moved the terminal microphone away slightly.
"Instructor, calm down!"
Chu Kuangsheng: Haha, not a bit calm.
He took a deep breath, then slowly exhaled.
He had vaguely heard about the Descent of the Qi Palace Secret Realm, but he was abroad for something.
He wanted his family to intervene and get Mingxi a quota, but he had angered many people with some previous statements.
His father had explicitly ordered him to behave himself for a while.
He didn't expect the Han Ning Beast Center to be so clever as to give Mingxi a quota.
And he never expected this Xiao Zaizi to even decipher the rules of the Chess Bridge!
She really brings him surprises wherever she goes.
She didn't disgrace him!
"Tell me more about it."】}
