Chapter 1236 - 1233: Come Here, I Need a Favor

"Too much bullying fungus! Too much bullying fungus!"

"If you've got the guts, wait here. I'll go to the kitchen and get you some English baguettes!"

With a face full of gritted teeth, Nianjia glared at the two shameless jerks making dirty jokes at the card table.

"Don't call me for card games anymore, I've quit!"

Even though it doesn't have a physical form, during the card game with Master Fuli, Nianjia could still feel its blood pressure fluctuating.

If the physical form were present, it would probably be boiling with rage, flushing red, rushing to the kitchen to grab a knife and chop those "card friends" into tiny pieces.

Without cheating or collusion, winning big every round and hitting the jackpot on every bet, Master Fuli's fortune was blatantly just daylight robbery.

"No need, no need..."

Ansheng, full of teasing, patted Nianjia's shoulder and said, "Playing cards is just for relaxation and fun, why go all tough and start a fight just for a bunch of bread people?"

"Hmph!"

Nianjia sat on the metal disc, turned around, and ignored Master Fuli.

But after thinking for a while, it turned back and said to Master Fuli:

"Spill it! Going to great lengths to kidnap my treasury, what do you want from me?"

Losing a card game is losing, Nianjia admitted, but thinking about its reputation and wanting to rebuild its business, it probably wouldn't be as simple as before.

After pondering for a while, Nianjia still looked at Master Fuli and asked.

"It's nothing major, just wanted to enroll in a high school exam prep class with Teacher Nianjia."

Ansheng shuffled through the cards on the table, throwing the navigator's key and several stacks of bank cards back to Wang Qiqi. After returning the Security Bureau's assets to their rightful owner, he said,

"After the new year, there might be some events, and I need your advice."

As Ansheng spoke, he pushed the car keys and nationalized land certificate of the estate back to Nianjia.

"High school exam prep class?" Nianjia asked with a face full of suspicion, taking a good look at Master Fuli from top to bottom.

"Yes!" Ansheng nodded confidently, patting the "hostages" in his hand.

"...."

Upon seeing this, Nianjia's vision went black.

The assets in Master Fuli's hands were all bought with a fortune in Spiritual Particle Metal as tuition fees, hard-earned money.

"Let go of my treasures!" Nianjia bared its teeth, pouncing protectively on a stack of property titles: "I'll... do it!"

"Woohoo! Holiday's here——"

The Ba Mountain Mosquito and Treasure Tree Ant, seeing the situation, exclaimed "Wow!" as they threw off their aprons and ran back to the Treasure Tree.

The Ba Mountain Mosquito picked up the Treasure Tree, then placed the Treasure Tree Ant on its head, achieving a three-in-one riding state.

Meanwhile, the soldiers standing guard at the door, seeing their regained salaries, also looked delighted as if celebrating New Year.

Recovering their salaries, and with the Security Bureau's compensation in process, here and there, they received a windfall equivalent to a half-year bonus.

"Master Fuli is mighty!"

Rounds of enthusiastic cheers echoed within the estate, dispelling some of the winter's chill.

"Go, get me two boxes of ice-cold Cokes!" Ansheng said joyfully, glancing at Nianjia, who was still counting assets protectively.

Learning from [Nianjia] isn't hard, but it's different from the Adaptation Faction's Dragon People or the Immortals.

Nianjia has no intention of getting involved in any disputes, asking it for help with the Immortals, or teaching any skills, is simply a non-starter.

At most, when asked, Nianjia begins to chant, claiming: I can't, before I went to sleep, I was just a poor worker, working nonstop for hundreds of years.

Now, I just want to sleep in, leave the disputes out of a working-class guy like me.

If the Immortals find out, they'll be sure to flip over my coffin lid and drag me out for a beating.

[Gloom Mushroom], belongs to the ethical low point within Dragon People society, lacking any morals.

Without some "hostages" in hand, Ansheng feels that the moment he opens his mouth, Nianjia would pilot a robotic vacuum to crush his toes and cut him off abruptly.

However, if you treat [Gloom Mushroom] as a Spirit Beast, beat it down before negotiating, it would be quite reasonable.

As for work...

No way, if you make Nianjia work, it would likely turn around and demonstrate that Dragon People can fly.

"Old Sun, go negotiate with Nianjia, explain everything to it."

Ansheng gestured to Sun Xingyao, suggesting she should have a discussion with Nianjia and exchange plans regarding activities against the Immortals.

"Alright then! But remember, you promised me you'd mess up their noses."

"If, by that time, their upturned noses pierce my spine, then I'll poke your butt." Sun Xingyao agreed, got up from the curved sofa, picked up Nianjia, and brought it back to the room.

"Jingling clang..."

On the way back to the room, Nianjia was still tidying up its gold and silver jewels, stuffing them all into its pockets.

With a palm-sized physical form, it managed to cram several hundred kilograms of stuff into its pants pockets.

Everyone watched in astonishment.

"Stuffed several hundred kilograms of gold and jewelry and hundreds of property titles into its pocket..."

Ah Qing, with a face full of surprise, turned to look at the Little Fox sitting at the card table, reached out, touched the fox's belly, and asked, "Can you do it too? Teach me."

"In this regard, you've asked the right fox!" Ansheng said confidently, "I can't, and I'm watching completely baffled..."

Dragon People abilities do not converge, but they are generally documented in physics and chemistry books. What abilities they can manifest depends on how much physics and chemistry they understand.

"Wow! Not knowing but still so confident?" Ah Qing suddenly widened her eyes, looking at the Little Fox standing with an arrogant stance, arms akimbo.

"I'm just a fox, not understanding complicated things is normal." Ansheng nestled into Ah Qing's embrace, lazily stretched, and jokingly said,

"After all... I'm just a little fox, I don't get those overly complex matters."

Though he said so, in his heart he was already plotting to achieve double nine-tailed fox status tonight and come back to steal a formula from Nianjia's [ability formulas].

Nianjia's previous stone diving suit and the spatial-like abilities currently exhibited were both highly practical.

"What about me?"

Li Wenkang looked at Master Fuli with a puzzled face, raised a hand to point at himself, and asked, "What about my pension?"

Seeing Ah Qing and the Little Fox there snuggling, already taking a nail clipper out of her small backpack, trimming her nails.

Li Wenkang kindly reminded.

Nianjia had previously taken quite a bit from him, everyone else's at the Security Bureau got settled, so... what happened to my money?

"Yours... haven't I provided you with food and accommodation?" Ansheng looked at Old Li with a confused face and said,

"If I pull yours out, I'm worried Miss Nianjia will perform the [Geological Mineral Building Flying Dragon] trick."

"As everyone knows, Dragon People can't fly..."

"?" Li Wenkang sat there in a daze, slowly playing a question mark, then picked up a white plastic bag, went to the wine cooler, and stuffed the cigarettes inside into the plastic bag.

When Master Fuli says providing room and board, it truly means just that.
