Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

"When I found Hu Jie, he was being beaten by Deng Youfu."

Yun threw the bruised and swollen Hu Jie on the ground, and what she said made Lu Linglong and the others' expressions slightly subtle.

'That's terrible!'

Looking at Hu Jie's swollen face, Lu Linglong and the others sighed inwardly.

Judging from his appearance, it's impossible to tell that it's Hu Jie; it's a completely different, abstract face.

"Cough cough~" Bai Shixue's cough drew everyone's attention. She said with a hint of excitement, "Never mind that, let's get the information first!"

"Although it's not appropriate to say this when you're all happy, but..."

Zhang Chulan raised his hand expressionlessly and, under everyone's watchful eyes, pointed at Hu Jie and said, "Can he... speak?"

Everyone: "…………"

Chapter 165 What are Spiritual Materials?

Observe carefully and think deeply.

Staring at Hu Jie's uneven face, everyone present concluded that even if Hu Jie could speak, probably no one would be able to understand him.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Linglong and the others turned their gazes to Deng Youfu, as if to say: Why did you hit him so hard!

Deng Youfu ignored this completely, standing quietly in a corner of the room, observing how things would unfold.

"I'll leave this matter to you."

Having access to other sources of information, Lu Jin, who didn't seem to care much about the matter, said this.

Let the younger generation handle it; let them get some experience.

"Don't worry, leave it to us!"

Xi spoke first, patting his chest and making a promise.

The others exchanged glances, then said in unison, "We will do our best to handle this matter."

"Keep it up!" Lu Jin encouraged her great-granddaughter.

A while later, Lu Linglong and the others took Hu Jie away, leaving Zhang Zhiwei, Lu Jin, Tian Jinzhong and Xu Si inside. Zhang Chulan stood guard at the door to prevent anyone from eavesdropping.

"Has Xia He sent back any news?" Xu Si asked.

"Yes." Lu Jin nodded slightly. "They said they have successfully infiltrated the main force of the Quanxing and are gathering intelligence."

"Is that so..." Xu Si didn't ask any further questions, opened the door, and left with Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Zhiwei also didn't stay long; he had a lot on his plate lately.

Tian Jinzhong and Lu Jin looked at each other for a while. Lu Jin saw a hint of urging in Tian Jinzhong's eyes, but said nothing and pushed the wheelchair out of the room.

………………

As evening approached, all the competitions for the day had concluded, and both the contestants and the spectators gathered to enjoy themselves in Longhu Mountain.

"Fang Rui~ Fang Rui~"

Outside a certain venue, Fang Rui, who had just finished talking with Tie Ma Liu, suddenly heard someone call his name, so he looked in the direction from which the sound came.

The hibiscus was waving as it ran toward him.

"anything?"

When the hibiscus flower came to within a meter of him, Fang Rui asked softly.

"There's a party tonight, would you like to come join us?" said Hibiscus.

"reunion?"

Upon hearing this, an image flashed through Fang Rui's mind: "a golden woodpecker flitting among the mountains and forests."

'emmm……'

Touching his phone in his pocket, Fang Rui nodded slightly: "Okay, I'll be there on time."

"Iron Monkey, what about you? Are you coming?"

Hibiscus shifted her gaze to Fang Rui's side and rear, looking at Iron Monkey and asking him a question.

"Do you have any wine?" Iron Monkey asked, somewhat dejected after losing the contest.

"Yes," the hibiscus flower nodded.

“Then I’ll go,” Iron Monkey replied.

"The time is eight o'clock, and the location is..."

After telling Fang Rui the time of the gathering, Zhi Jinhua ran off to inform the others.

Fang Rui and Tie Ma Liu exchanged a few more words before parting ways.

The party was scheduled for 8 o'clock, but it was only 5:30 at the moment, giving him plenty of time to do other things.

With the recruitment process complete, he now had another matter to attend to...

Upon reaching a deserted mountain forest, Fang Rui released his senses to investigate the surroundings. After confirming that no one was around, he immediately transformed into a golden light and soared into the sky, heading to famous mountains and scenic spots throughout the country to scatter the seeds of the Spirit Tree and then use the bark of the Seven Treasures Tree to accelerate their growth.

The afforestation plan is progressing rapidly...

Two hours later, thanks to his efforts, spirit trees had appeared in many areas of the country.

"Our objective has been achieved. Let's head back to Longhu Mountain!"

As he spoke, Fang Rui transformed into a golden ray of light and instantly arrived inside Longhu Mountain, then headed to the gathering place.

It was already late, and the forest was pitch black except for the campfire that was lit.

A group of people had gathered around the campfire, including Wang Ye, Tie Ma Liu, Zhuge Qing, Yun, Xi, Fu Rong, Wu Kui Hong Zhong, and others.

My gaze shifted, and I saw several cases of beer placed next to a tree, and several frozen insulated boxes next to the barbecue grill. Fu Rong wielded two cleavers with great skill, slicing vegetables and meat into pieces amidst the continuous flashes of silver light.

"Wow~~~" The onlookers exclaimed in surprise.

Zhang Lingyu and Zhuge Qing were talking, Wang Ye was entangled with Tie Ma Liu, Jin Yong was disciplining his younger brother, Wu Kui and Hong Zhong were playing video games, Cang Long, whose body was wrapped in bandages, was giving instructions from the side, the two brothers Deng Youcai and Deng Youfu were bickering, Xi, a short but big Shandong man, was holding a can of beer and urging people to drink, Yun, who was being urged to drink, dodged the hand reaching for his mask, and two people watching the show were clapping and cheering...

A harmonious scene.

'...I haven't seen Lu Linglong and Zhang Chulan. Haven't they arrived yet?'

Turning his gaze away, Fang Rui sat down next to Wang Ye and raised his hand in greeting: "Yo! Mr. Ye, nice to meet you~"

"Ahem! What does 'always' mean? I'm just an ordinary little Taoist priest."

Upon hearing Fang Rui's words, Wang Ye coughed in surprise and waved his hands repeatedly.

"Hmm! I believe you~" Fang Rui glanced at him and gave him an "I understand" look.

"Hiss~" Wang Ye gasped, looking at Fang Rui's expression, he felt a little panicked.

What did you understand?

"Don't overthink it!" Wang Ye tried to explain.

"Don't say it, I understand, I understand everything!" Fang Rui raised his right palm, signaling Wang Ye not to continue, the deep meaning in his eyes making Wang Ye's teeth ache.

No, let me finish what I have to say!

"I..." Wang Ye opened his mouth to speak.

"Enough talk, let's drink!" Before Wang Ye could finish speaking, Fang Rui pulled out a bottle of wine and handed it to him.

"Wait, where did you get this wine from?" Looking at the antique-style wine jar in Fang Rui's hand, Wang Ye measured its size, then looked at Fang Rui for a while, his face showing doubt.

"It was taken from here." Fang Rui patted his belt, and a glint of light flashed on the surface of each of the sacs.

"Those are..." Upon hearing this, Wang Ye already had a guess in his mind.

“A Devouring Pouch, simply put, is a storage magic tool.” He ran his index finger over a Devouring Pouch and took out a wooden box, about the size of a palm, from inside.

Upon opening the wooden box, ten sacs of food were found inside.

"Would you like one? I can give you one for free."

Upon hearing this, the king did not reply.

Iron Monkey recalled the conversation from a few hours ago; one of the benefits of joining the company was a storage magic item.

"I cannot accept rewards without merit; there is no need." After a moment, Wang also shook his head and refused.

"Five hundred thousand per pill. You can come find me when you want one."

Since the other party had rejected his kindness, Fang Rui naturally had no intention of continuing to persuade him. He immediately put the wooden box back into his food pouch, patted the wine jar on the ground, and said:

"Come and have a drink! This wine is brewed from spiritual materials; it's only found in Biyou Village, and even within Biyou Village, it's considered exceptionally precious..."

"Oh~" Upon hearing this, Wang Ye raised his eyebrows slightly, intrigued by the other party's words, and examined the wine jar with great interest.

What are spiritual materials?!

Chapter 166 Wang Ye: Hehe

As the cloth sealing the jar was removed, a fragrant aroma of wine wafted out.

The rich aroma immediately attracted the attention of everyone present, who gathered around.

"It smells so good! What is this?" Bai Shixue took a deep breath, feeling refreshed, and asked in surprise.

"I smell wine, it must be wine," Xi said, taking a few deep breaths.

"Wine..." Zhuge Qing sniffed the fragrant aroma and said, "It doesn't quite feel like wine."

“It’s wine, my homemade fruit wine,” Fu Rong said amidst the murmurs of the crowd.

In an instant, everyone except Fang Rui turned their gaze to Fu Rong.

The person from Biyou Village: "…………"

I've never heard of this! When was this wine brewed?

Zhuge Qing and the others: "…………"

Biyou Village has such fine wine?!
