Chapter 1: Entering the Pass Strategy
Zhang Yuanqing also silently walked to the corner of the living room and dialed Ling Jun's phone number.
"Doo doo~"
The phone rang twice and was quickly connected. Ling Jun's excited voice came from the speaker:
"Yo, you kid came out alive? Not bad, not bad. Next, we just have to wait for Fu Qingyang's return. These past three days, I've been so worried about you guys that I turned down several dates."
He was referring to the fact that Dark Rose and the evil organization were plotting to kill them both.
"Isn't that great, giving your ******* a vacation?" Zhang Yuanqing gave a dry laugh. "If I were that easy to kill, I wouldn't be the strongest genius in the history of the Five Elements Alliance."
His tone was like facing an equal friend, not a high-level veteran.
"You've gained a lot of confidence." Ling Jun clicked his tongue. "How many points? Did you reach the level of the Demon Lord and the Marshal? Well, 900 points or more is a bit difficult, but with your ability, you must have passed 700 points."
"Not many points. This killing instance was very difficult. The evil faction almost wiped us out. I'll tell you about it when I have time. I have something to ask you." Zhang Yuanqing didn't call him for small talk.
"Almost wiped out, huh? Sigh, it seems that the official side lost a lot of transcendents this time. What is it? Tell me."
At this moment, the bunny girl hung up the phone and looked over. Zhang Yuanqing made a "wait a moment" gesture, took a deep breath, and said, "I put that set of equipment on Guan Ya, and you know the price. I'm going to find her now..."
Before he could finish speaking, Ling Jun interrupted with a loud laugh.
"I understand. You're inexperienced, so you really need to pay attention to a few things. First of all, women like foreplay, so the foreplay must be done well. This can reduce the negative experience of a man being too short to some extent..."
"Stop, stop!" Zhang Yuanqing coughed loudly. What foreplay and petting? Seriously, I'm just a newbie stuck in the phase of watching countless videos, unlike a Shenzhen racer like you.
"That's not what I meant. What I want to ask is, isn't this a bit like taking advantage of someone's vulnerability? Will it backfire?" Zhang Yuanqing said in a deep voice.
"So that's what you're asking..." Ling Jun pondered for a few seconds, then said, "First of all, you need to understand one thing: the price of the equipment will not disappear. She is destined to be consumed by the evil fire. If you don't take the opportunity, then you're giving it to someone else."
"Then of course not!" Zhang Yuanqing said immediately.
"Exactly. Secondly, I want to ask you a question: do you like Guan Ya?"
"Of course!"
Big breasts, long legs, pretty face, and a good personality. Who wouldn't like her?
"If you like her, be brave and go for it. There are many beauties in this world, but there aren't many who can really make you secrete hormones. It's not easy to meet a girl you like, virgin. Be brave and go for it."
If you say that, the Demon Lord would disagree. Any woman with decent looks can make him secrete hormones anytime, anywhere... Zhang Yuanqing said:
"I understand, but you still haven't answered my question." Ling Jun sighed:
"The aftereffects are unavoidable. For example, Fu Qingyang might give you a move that is close to the Dao afterwards; the Fu family may not accept you as their son-in-law; Guan Ya's goodwill towards you may decrease..."
"However, since you called me to ask, then this young master will naturally take responsibility for you. I'll give you a set of ideas. Come closer..."
"I'm listening, stop talking nonsense!"
Three minutes later, Zhang Yuanqing hung up the phone with confidence and strode out of the villa lobby excitedly.
However, Zhang Yuanqing didn't get into the car. Instead, he walked to the front of the car, stopped outside the driver's seat, leaned slightly, and used the rearview mirror to examine himself.
His pupils suddenly became deep and ethereal, revealing a mysterious and lofty aura. His eyes seemed to contain a galaxy. Through astrology, he saw a bright and clear light shining at the corner of his eyes, with a hint of dreamy halo.
As a Star Official, Zhang Yuanqing immediately analyzed his facial features. The light at the corner of his eyes symbolized "fate," and the dreamy halo represented that he would have gains in romance recently, rather than opportunities or contracts.
But the halo was too dreamy and not solid enough, so this was not marriage.
"Let's go!"
Zhang Yuanqing stepped into the car with high spirits.
Tokyo, Minato Ward.
A large villa with a vast area, on the second floor, in a room facing the garden.
The vision went from blurry to clear. Asano Ryo saw her familiar room. She was standing on the tatami mat in the room, facing the window. Outside the window was her family's garden, planted with cherry blossom trees.
In mid-June, the sun was scorching. The tall cherry blossom trees spread their branches wildly. Unfortunately, the cherry blossom season had passed, and she couldn't see the colorful clouds hanging from the treetops.
Asano Ryo's family lived in a residential area in Minato Ward, where many wealthy people gathered. It was far from the CBd area, and servants had to drive out to purchase supplies. In recent years, wealthy people in the island nation had been shifting from traditional villas to luxury apartment buildings when choosing residences, focusing more on transportation, shopping, and the fullness of living facilities. Only the old wealthy families stubbornly maintained their traditional habits.
Asano Ryo tilted her head slightly and looked at the low square table next to her. On it was a bottle of delicate bachelor's buttons.
The bachelor's buttons were freshly picked, and the delicate petals still had traces of water. Before entering the killing instance, she told her mother that she hoped to see beautiful bachelor's buttons as soon as she returned.
In these three days, her mother had come to her room every day and inserted a bunch of freshly picked bachelor's buttons from the garden. The bachelor's buttons were her mother's thoughts and good wishes for her.
Asano Ryo lowered her head and took a light sniff. Then, she carefully leaned the "Ice Soul Blade" against the wall, took off her short skirt and short sleeves, revealing a girl's lamb-like body. Although it was not as plump and sexy as a mature woman, the girl's slender yet just right rounded lines were the most beautiful scenery in the world.
After changing into a clean and tidy sailor uniform, Asano Ryo opened the room door and ran through the palace-like long corridor, shouting, "Otosan, Okasan, Auntie~"
Her crisp voice echoed in the large villa. Soon, the Asano family was alarmed.
In the Asano family's reception room, Asano Ryo knelt on the tatami mat, with her hands obediently placed on her thighs. Opposite her were her father, mother, and teacher.
Asano Nakakyo was a middle-aged man in his early forties, a The Way of the Extraordinary in the Saint Realm. He actually looked younger than his age, with handsome features and a serious expression, very much like a patriarch.
He was the fourth son of the current head of the Asano family.
Asano Ryo's mother was a round-faced, dignified, and beautiful young woman. She married Asano Nakakyo, who was seven years older than her, at the age of sixteen, and gave birth to Asano Ryo's older brother the following year. She gave birth to Asano Ryo at the age of 18.
She was 35 years old this year.
The teacher was Ryuzaki Ichi, the vice leader of the Chizuru Group. He was also a The Way of the Extraordinary in the Saint Realm, a stubborn traditional swordsman wearing samurai clothing. Of course, besides samurai clothing, he occasionally wore suits.
Ryuzaki Ichi and Asano Nakakyo were close friends, which was why he accepted Asano Ryo as his disciple.
Both her father and teacher were serious middle-aged men, strict and unsmiling, which was why Asano Ryo developed a weak personality.
At this time, Okasan was holding a tissue in her hand, sobbing and wiping away tears of joy for her daughter's promotion and return.
Her father and teacher's faces were filled with smiles and praise, each happy for their daughter's and disciple's excellence.
"A seventeen-year-old Saint is one of the few not only in our country but also in the world. Nakakyo, the Asano family has hope for rejuvenation." Ryuzaki Ichi sat up straight with a beaming smile.
"Ryuzaki-kun, a great teacher produces a great student. This is all your credit. You must continue to teach Ryo in the Chizuru Group in the future." Asano Nakakyo nodded vigorously.
Hearing this, the smile on the teacher's face deepened.
Asano Ryo, who had become a Saint, was no longer just a qualified junior, but a remarkable junior, which naturally meant she was a powerful assistant.
Ryuzaki Ichi restrained his excited emotions and resumed his serious posture as a teacher, asking, "Ryo-chan, what is your ranking on the points leaderboard? The points leaderboard determines the rewarded experience and equipment. The higher the ranking, the higher your starting point compared to other The Way of the Extraordinary of the same level."
In Ryuzaki Ichi's assessment, his disciple Asano Ryo's ability to become a Saint was already the limit of her performance. He couldn't place too much hope on the points leaderboard, but he still had to ask.
Asano Ryo first said "Hi!" and then said, "Ranked fifth." The reception room immediately fell silent, followed by Ryuzaki Ichi's loud scolding, "Baka! Don't lie to your teacher!"
"I'm not a baka!" Asano Ryo protested in her heart, straightened her back, and said, "Hi! Teacher, my points ranking is fifth!"
Seeing this, Ryuzaki Ichi and Asano Nakakyo exchanged shocked glances. Based on their understanding of Asano Ryo, they knew that their daughter (disciple) would not lie.
But how was this possible?
Could it be that in this killing instance, the number of extraordinary cultivators from the continent next door was small, and their quality was worrying?
But even so, even if they were picking a general among dwarfs, they couldn't have picked Asano Ryo to be fifth on the points leaderboard.
Asano Nakakyo was silent for a long time, then said anxiously, "Ryo-chan, what happened?"
Asano Ryo answered truthfully:
"In the killing instance, I met Yuan Shi Tian Zun, so I followed him around. He took good care of me and saved me three times. It was because of Yuan Shi Tian Zun's care that I was able to survive the killing instance and achieve fifth place on the points leaderboard."
"Yuan Shi Tian Zun?"
Asano Ryo saw her teacher's back straighten abruptly, his fists clenched in shock, and he stared at her with fiery eyes, asking even more urgently than her father:
"Yuan Shi Tian Zun, the newly rising star of the Five Elements Alliance, the genius who cleared two S-level instances? Is it him!"
Asano Ryo was startled by her teacher's reaction, "Yes, yes, it is."
Ryuzaki Ichi turned his head and looked at Asano Nakakyo again. The two of them suddenly realized that no wonder Ryo-chan was able to clear the killing instance. It turned out that she had received the care of Yuan Shi Tian Zun.
Regarding this Yuan Shi Tian Zun, the Chizuru Group had not collected much information, only his achievements, such as clearing S-level instances and killing the powerful Enchanting Succubus, who was also in the extraordinary realm.
But they knew nothing about his methods, equipment, or personality. This might be a good opportunity to learn about this genius. Ryuzaki Ichi said in a deep voice:
"Ryo-chan, tell me the details of the killing instance, without leaving anything out."
Asano Ryo nodded slightly and immediately began to tell the three elders about her experiences, from her first encounter with Wang Tai to the fierce battle in the park.
When she finished speaking, the reception room fell silent again.
Her mother, who was an ordinary person, listened with great interest and was still not satisfied, but she didn't have too much emotion. However, when her father and teacher heard about the descent of the goddess to slaughter the Blood Pool Demon God and Yuan Shi Tian Zun's 1628 points, they had already turned into two statues.
Their expressions were frozen, their bodies were stiff, and they were motionless.
After an unknown amount of time, Ryuzaki Ichi finally broke free from his shock and murmured, "What a monster, what kind of monster is this..."
Asano Nakakyo stared at his daughter with a strange look, and asked in a tone that seemed to be expecting something, "Ryo, did you exchange contact information?" Asano Ryo was stunned and shook her head honestly.
Disappointment was evident in Asano Nakakyo's eyes. At this time, Ryuzaki Ichi stood up abruptly and said, "Nakakyo, I need to go back to the Chizuru Group to report this matter first. Please excuse me." He left in a hurry, as if he couldn't stay for another moment.
No. 291 Xinmen Road, Tianchen Apartments.
This was an independent building. Residents living on the upper floors could directly see the river view of Songjiang and overlook the most prosperous CBd area of Songhai.
They could even look at several of Songhai's landmark buildings at eye level.
Every inch of land was worth its weight in gold, and the housing price reached an exaggerated 120,000 per square meter. This was just an apartment. If it were a luxury residence, it would be doubled or tripled.
Using Star Illusion, Zhang Yuanqing deceived the guard and easily swiped open the building's access control and elevator, arriving at the third floor, Room 302, where Guan Ya lived.
"Ding-dong!"
He rang the doorbell. A few seconds later, he heard light footsteps coming from inside the door. Then, Guan Ya's voice came from outside the door: "What are you doing here? Get out!"
It seemed that she hadn't taken off the equipment yet, otherwise her tone would be: "Wh-What are you doing here~? U-Um... Get out~" Zhang Yuanqing chuckled in his heart, but his face was very serious, and he said, "Sister Guan Ya, I'm here to see you. I know the price of the equipment is causing you a lot of trouble right now. I'm here to help you resolve the aftereffects."
"Get out!" Guan Ya said angrily, "I'm never taking it off in this lifetime." She guarded against Zhang Yuanqing outside the door like she was guarding against a wolf.
Like a little rabbit guarding against a big bad wolf, she would never open the door, no matter which door.
Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and recalled the teachings of his life mentor—"Guan Ya is a girl who talks dirty, but she's actually a keyboard warrior like you."
"When you get to her place, don't say dirty things like you used to, because at this time, Guan Ya will be wary of any indecent talk."
"You have to act like a gentleman and disarm her first." Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said:
"Sister Guan Ya, you've misunderstood. I have a way to solve the price of the equipment for you." "Really?"
Guan Ya was a little skeptical.
"Really!" Zhang Yuanqing patted his chest and guaranteed.
Guan Ya carefully examined Yuan Shi's increasingly handsome face through the peephole. With her ability to observe, she confirmed that he had come with sincerity and was not trying to trick her into opening the door.
She hesitated slightly and struggled for a few seconds before twisting the handle of the security door.
"Ka-cha!" The door opened.
Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the experienced driver standing in the entrance. She was still wearing the outfit she wore in the killing instance: a nano combat uniform that outlined her figure, with a dark brown breastplate, and vine armor and greaves on her forearms and calves.
Strands of hair hung messily beside her cheeks, outlining her pointed and charming oval face. Her mixed-race features were more delicate and beautiful than most Eastern women.
"Come in!"
Guan Ya seemed afraid to look him in the eyes and said with a slight downward glance.
"The first step of the plan is complete." Zhang Yuanqing walked over the threshold with a straight face, took off his shoes at the entrance, and put on the cotton slippers that Guan Ya found in the shoe cabinet.
He entered the high-end apartment and casually looked around the furnishings.
Passing through the entrance, the living room was straight ahead, the open kitchen was on the left, and a glass dining table that could seat eight people was on the right.
There were no pots, pans, or other kitchen utensils in the open kitchen. The frosted countertop, like a bar, was clean and tidy, and all the utensils were stored in the built-in cabinets.
In the living room, there was a wide, off-white sofa that made people want to indulge in it, with several constellation-printed pillows lying on it.
On the coffee table was a laptop, next to it was a vase with fresh and elegant chamomile.
The glasses and kettle also had constellation patterns.
In addition, on the cabinet under the TV, there was a complete set of anthropomorphic constellation figurines. It was neither a Western style that worshipped foreign things nor a Chinese style that was pretentious and elegant.
The overall style was fashionable and simple.
The balcony was only covered with an inner layer of纱帘, and through that hazy light纱, you could see the winding and wide river view.
Guan Ya walked to the coffee table and bent down to pour water.
Probably because of psychological effects, Zhang Yuanqing subconsciously aimed at her翘臀, which was a curve that made men's hearts beat faster, like a peach, plump, round, tight. Just by looking, he could imagine its softness and elasticity.
Below the round臀 were long, straight legs, and above it was a constricted waist curve.
"Is she the one in heat or am I?" Zhang Yuanqing swallowed quietly, withdrew his gaze, and watched Guan Ya place the cold boiled water in front of him.
The experienced driver lazily lay back on the soft sand, putting on a calm and composed posture, and said, "What method do you have to overcome the price of the equipment?"
Guan Ya originally wanted to wait for Fu Qingyang to clear the killing instance before telling him about this. Her foolish and rich cousin had a lot of equipment and would definitely have a way to resolve the equipment.
Zhang Yuanqing raised his hand, grabbed in front of him, and took out a palm-sized round bronze mirror. It was dusty and had a carving of a phoenix and鸾 on the back. The eyes of the phoenix and鸾 were two red gems.
Seeing this bronze mirror, Guan Ya was stunned at first, then she remembered something and said in surprise, "How could I forget about this equipment?"
The life mentor analyzed that Guan Ya would definitely wear the equipment after returning to reality and wait for Fu Qingyang to return, then let this cousin find a way.
Therefore, he needed to play a time difference. Giving out the bronze mirror was the first step to gaining trust.
