Chapter 32: Li Lingzhen, Shennong Cauldron!

[Deep Blue City, Guardian Organization Treasury]

This is where the Guardian Organization of Deep Blue City stores all the precious materials and tools it has collected over the years.

As a treasury, there is no one guarding it.

Because the design and construction of this treasury were done by the renowned CanShang Technology.

CanShang Technology, one of the Five Great Companies, has always been dedicated to cutting-edge technological research. The defense level of the treasury they built is strong enough to withstand the full-force attack of a seventh-tier Spiri or Spirit Contractor.

Absolutely safe.

Outside the treasury, a subordinate asked worriedly, "Captain Zhao, are you just going to let him go in like this?"

Zhao Hu waved his hand indifferently.

"There are at least tens of thousands of items in this treasury. Some of them, even I can't recognize. Do you think a student who just graduated from Qingteng Academy can recognize them?"

"Besides, even if he wants to take everything, he doesn't have the capability. Even if you fill both his hands, how many things can he carry?"

"Let him take whatever he wants. How much can he take?"

Han Zhen entered the treasury and was immediately dazzled by the vast collection inside.

"Eternal Winter Flower, Linked Branch Grass, Half-Sleep…"

"The limbs of third-tier Zerg Bone Ants, the bone wings of fifth-tier Zerg Ghost Butterflies…"

Walking inside the treasury, Han Zhen listed items one by one.

The reason? All these things had been documented in Second Senior Brother Lin Jingxuan's notes, including their values, origins, parts, and so on.

Thanks to these notes, Han Zhen didn't lose his way in this treasury.

Some materials glowed with dazzling golden light, appearing extremely eye-catching but were actually of low value and superficial.

Some materials were plain and black, looking no different from random broken branches on the roadside but were rare and highly valuable treasures.

"Hmm? Is this the shell of a sixth-tier Wall Crab? Using it as the main material, a complete defensive gear set can be crafted."

With this defensive set, at least the next time he faced Rover Beasts and fought them with mutual injuries, he wouldn't end up being beaten so badly because he had given his only piece of armor to Xia Youwei.

"Good stuff, taking it, taking it."

As Han Zhen spoke, the black ring on his finger flashed, and the giant crab shell, as tall as a person, vanished instantly.

The ring with internal space—a storage ring, a gift from Li Shutong.

Finally, it had its moment of use.

"Baoyang Flower, the plant with the highest spiritual energy content among third-tier plants. It's extremely effective for crafting potions to break through to the third tier."

"Good stuff, taking it, taking it."

Han Zhen waved his hand again, and with another flash of black light, several flowers that looked no different from roadside wildflowers were pocketed...

This process went on for about an hour.

Han Zhen finally toured the entire treasury, pocketing everything he deemed valuable into the Sumeru space.

Deep Blue City's Guardian Organization was still too poor; the highest material he found was only sixth-tier, and even those were scarce.

He thought this with some dissatisfaction.

When Han Zhen walked out of the treasury, Zhao Hu's subordinates, who were left to inspect, only saw him holding one item in his hand and swaggering out.

The two subordinates exchanged glances but didn't step forward to stop him.

When Han Zhen was far away, they entered the treasury to report to Zhao Hu, only to be dumbfounded.

"Hello? He's finally out after such a long time?" Zhao Hu answered the call, raising an eyebrow.

"He… he's out."

"How many items did he take?"

"Five… five…" The subordinate on the other end started stammering.

"Five? Five items? That's a bit much, but still fine. The five items he took today will eventually be taken back with interest." Zhao Hu said viciously.

"No, Captain Zhao, not five items—five tenths."

"This young man called Han Zhen looted half of the treasury. Half of it is empty."

Another subordinate shouted loudly over the phone.

"WHAT?" Zhao Hu was dumbfounded.

His first reaction was that these two idiots were making up a story to cover their theft and were blaming it on Han Zhen.

However, even if you gave them dozens of guts, they wouldn't dare do such a thing.

'So, it is true?'

'Han Zhen, alone, looted half of the treasury—how did he manage that?'

"No need to panic." Zhao Hu quickly recovered.

"Truly insatiable, this treasury is all the property of the Guardian Organization. If he only took one or two items, it might have been overlooked. But taking half of it? The Guardian Organization won't let him off so easily."

Zhao Hu didn't even need to act. Han Zhen would be hunted down by the Guardian Organization and eventually exiled to the lower city.

Thinking of this, Zhao Hu's face showed a sneer again.

"Report everything that happened here to the headquarters. The headquarters will definitely…"

"Captain Zhao, such a big matter, we've already reported to the headquarters," interrupted one of the subordinates over the phone. "The headquarters only sent back five words."

"What five words?" Zhao Hu suddenly had a bad feeling.

"The headquarters said, 'Nicely mediated.'"

"???"

Deep Blue City's treasury was half-emptied, suffering massive losses.

Reported to the headquarters, and the headquarters replied with just "nicely mediated"?

Crazy, absolutely crazy.

Either the Guardian Organization was crazy, or Zhao Hu himself was crazy, or perhaps the world itself was crazy.

———

Han Zhen and Xia Youwei returned to their villa with a full load.

Li Shutong wasn't home today.

Xia Youwei grabbed Han Zhen and ran upstairs without saying a word.

Changing clothes, showering—it was all done in one go.

Only after doing all this did Xia Youwei hug Han Zhen tightly, her voice choked with emotion: "At that moment, I almost thought I'd never see you again."

She was a Spiri but also just a girl experiencing her first love.

When she saw the Bone Sword of the Rover Beast about to pierce Han Zhen's heart, even thinking about it now made her heart stop.

Feeling the long-missed warmth of Han Zhen, Xia Youwei finally calmed down.

"Ah Zhen, no matter what, you can't escape today."

Feeling Xia Youwei's emotions, Han Zhen instinctively responded passionately, and the two embraced each other.

At this moment, the door suddenly creaked open.

A baby-faced beauty in loose-fitting, braless pajamas appeared at the door.

The three of them froze on the spot.

At this moment, Han Zhen was still on top of Xia Youwei, their posture ambiguous.

The baby-faced beauty standing at the door suddenly sighed softly.

"In my room, wearing my pajamas, sleeping in my bed—isn't this also a form of NTR?"

What shocked Han Zhen even more was her character information.
