Gao Wu: After transforming into a soft girl, I became a calamity?

After a while.

Ye Chenyang briefly inquired about the situation and then took his leave.

Upon reaching the door, Yun Han couldn't help but ask:

"Inspector Jiang, what do you think of the old... Patriarch Gao's attitude?"

Just now, Gao Yuanshan first described Gao Yi's condition before he disappeared.

It was as if he had known all along that something bad would happen, and he had left a warning in advance, telling others not to get involved in the matter.

Gao Yuanshan rambled on for a long time, denouncing those who dared to lay a hand on the inspector and subtly pointing the finger at other powerful clans in the area.

The reason is simple: besides these people, who else could make Gao Yi, as the inspector, so vigilant?

The city of Base Five is known for its fierce and unruly people, and it has a number of underground forces.

Based on the idea that the law does not punish the masses, they may have participated in the price gouging frenzy and hoarded some core items, but they would never dare to touch the officials.

This is an absolute red line!

Gao Yuanshan also stated that he had secretly sent people to look for clues, but to no avail.

There was just too much nonsense; a lot of his long speech contained very little useful information, which gave Yunhan a headache.

Ye Chenyang did not answer immediately, but nodded almost imperceptibly and quickened his pace.

Yunhan quickly followed.

In a room upstairs, watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Gao Yuanshan sighed softly.

"well--"

His voice seemed to carry a hint of regret and a touch of helplessness.

……

Meanwhile, Jiang Mian had arrived at the official recycling center.

In the past, this was a formal trading venue for government agencies and non-governmental organizations or companies.

Of course, there are also a large number of scattered awakened individuals who come to trade, making it a bustling place with cars and people every day.

However, it now appears unusually deserted due to widespread "out of stock".

There were only a few staff members in the huge hall.

Upon seeing someone enter, a young female clerk looked up, her eyes brightening.

But upon seeing Jiang Mian's appearance, a clear sense of disappointment surfaced.

Since the price of [Cataclysmic] cores has risen, most [Elemental] Awakeners have preferred to sell their cores underground.

Although there were some risks, the return was nearly five times the profit.

Even if some clear-headed awakened individuals know that doing so is not conducive to the overall situation, they will still choose this method.

With both private forces and civilian connections severed, the breach naturally opened up.

With increasing demands at the front lines, the overall ammunition supply has actually decreased.

Even though the government has its own transportation channels, its inventory is already stretched thin, barely enough to maintain a balance.

The girl in front of me looks far too young; she probably can't afford much.

However, even a small mosquito is still meat, so she politely said:

"Hello, how can I help you?"

Jiang Mian walked to the counter and placed a purple bracelet on it.

"Call your manager over; I'm here to discuss cooperation."

The female clerk reached out and touched it, then was startled and immediately realized what it was.

Space gear!

She quickly stood up:

"Please wait a moment, I'll go and fetch him right away."

You don't need to see what's inside; the value of this thing alone is enough to tell you a lot.

Soon, a middle-aged man in a suit and tie rushed over.

He glanced at the spatial equipment on the table, then looked Jiang Mian over, and immediately put on a warm smile.

"Hello, hello, I'm Lin Qing, the person in charge of the recycling department. What's your name?"

"Ye Chan".

"Oh, Miss Ye, shall we talk in the reception room?"

Lin Qing bowed and made a "please" gesture.

Jiang Mian did not respond immediately, but looked around.

The clerks who had been secretly eyeing her subconsciously looked away.

She gave a soft snort, seemingly with a strange arrogance, showing disdain for these impolite stares.

Although Jiang Mian came to fish, he couldn't act too deliberately.

I also need to cultivate a new persona, otherwise things will be difficult to get things done.

It's best if they have some obvious personality flaws, so they can lower their guard.

Just to be on the safe side, she used her [Formless] ability to slightly adjust her appearance before coming, making her look more aggressive, so she could unleash her full power without any problems.

If the goods she has are leaked, she can not only get a large sum of money, but also lure out the mastermind behind it all, thus quickly completing this task.

Jiang Mian nodded, retrieved the spatial equipment from the table, and followed.

……

In the reception room.

Lin Qing brought over a disposable paper cup, intending to pour Jiang Mian a cup of hot water.

However, as soon as she sat down, she made a surprising statement.

"I can continuously supply the front lines with [Cataclysmic] Cores at normal prices, in unlimited quantities."

Lin Qing was startled, and the kettle in his hand slipped, spilling hot water onto the table.

Seeing this, Jiang Mian frowned and snapped his fingers.

The water spilled on the table was immediately guided by an invisible force and flew into the water tank not far away.

"Sorry, sorry!"

Lin Qing quickly apologized, his voice slightly unsteady:

"Miss Ye, you mean...no limit on quantity?"

No limit.

Jiang Mian leaned back in his chair, crossed his legs, and spoke casually.

"I have plenty of stock, and I can even supply fourth and fifth tiers, at least a thousand at a time. If the demand is large, I can increase the supply."

"Wow~ You can add more?!"

Lin Qing couldn't help but gasp, unable to hide the shock in his eyes, and his breathing became a little rapid.

On the battlefield, the cores of the lower three tiers are actually used the most.

Among them, the third-tier ammunition can already be used as ammunition for heavy artillery.

The fourth or even fifth-tier cores are generally used for ultra-long-range strikes, and their power is quite considerable, enough to be included in strategic reserves.

Now, this Miss Ye before me is actually able to produce such a large number of [Catastrophe] cores...

Who exactly is she?

Could she be a young lady from some wealthy family sent to boost her reputation?

"Miss Ye, are you serious? There are no strings attached?"

Lin Qing still seemed somewhat skeptical.

After all, everyone else is frantically trying to profit from this, but she just stepped right into this mess.

"Of course not."

Jiang Mian said nonchalantly:

"I'm not short of money. If my family hadn't given me a strict order, I wouldn't have bothered making this trip."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing confirmed his earlier thought.

Is she really a "rich heiress"?

Indeed, transporting goods using space equipment is something that ordinary people can't do.

"Okay, okay, thank you so much..."

"Let's skip the pleasantries, I don't like hearing them."

Jiang Mian waved his hand, his invisible arrogance becoming even more pronounced, and he even seemed to look down on everyone.

After signing the order contract, she casually tossed the spatial equipment in her hand, and Lin Qing quickly caught it.

"Inspect the goods first, and we'll discuss it further if needed, understand?"

Jiang Mian did not imprint any mental mark on this thing, so it was like an unlocked box that anyone could use normally.

However, this thing is quite valuable outside, so it definitely needs to be returned.

"Yes, yes, yes! Please wait a moment."

Lin Qing nodded quickly, took the bracelet, and walked out.

However, the moment he stepped out of the reception room, his expression immediately turned cold.

Under the bright lights, there seemed to be a strange glint in his eyes.
