What treasure chest monster? Call me the Mysterious Merchant!

Chapter 133 A treasure chest that can help the academy make decisions?

What is a "fuel pack" and what is "insufficient coins"?

One prompt brought two question marks, leaving the four Xuanjia brothers completely baffled.

However, Leo recognized the word "gold coins," and seeing this hint, he had a bad feeling.

He reached into his pocket and touched it.

Raphael watched his elder brother's actions and also fiddled with the seams of the tortoise shell, then froze on the spot.

Oh no! The gold coins in my little treasure vault are gone!

They had heard about the mysterious disappearance of gold coins while living here over the past few days.

I initially thought it was a joke, but it ended up happening to me.

Leo clicked the upper right corner of the logic board to close the Moments feature.

The five vertical lines that originally represented the signal in the upper right corner have disappeared and been replaced by a red "×".

He quickly took out the accompanying instruction manual and read it carefully.

When the signal strength changes to "×", please check if you are within the coverage area of ​​an Akashic base station, and then check if you have enough coins and if you have paid your phone bill.

"The top-up package is a temporary data plan that is implemented in stages. It is mainly used to meet customers' temporary data needs that are not included in their plan, and to avoid spending too many coins due to negligence."

"A package deal?" Leo remembered; the adventurer shopkeeper had kept asking him if he wanted a package deal!

So the meal deal isn't for eating! Is it for buying that thing called "data"?

Oh no! He should have paid attention to the clerk's strange look and asked one more question!

However, what's done is done, and there's nothing Leo can do about it.

"Damn it, do I have to go work to pay off my debts?" Leo slapped his forehead, filled with regret.

But most importantly, we still need to change the so-called package deal.

He had neither the mood nor the bandwidth to watch other professors' speeches, so he simply led the way to the Vision Shop.

The sales business has been handed over to Tianmu, so Fang Qi simply removed the creation machine from the store and transformed it into the appearance of a telecommunications business hall from his previous life.

The "Vision" shop has become an Akasha operator, and Zhenyu has also undergone a complete transformation, becoming the number one customer service representative.

They specialize in selling mobile phones and helping people change their data plans.

Fortunately, this place has a monopoly, so there's no pressure to meet sales targets or sell to others.

Otherwise, Zhenyu would want to go on strike and quit. As a serious gamer who holds a bunch of keys and collects rent, she can't bring herself to do it.

Taking advantage of the absence of others, Zhenyu sneaked over to the shelf: "Boss?"

At the very top of the shelf, her boss, Fang Qi, the magical treasure chest NPC who also served as the part-time academy dean, was squatting there, watching over the world.

"What's wrong?" Fang Qi snapped out of his daze, and the lid moved slightly.

"Boss, look, I've had so much business lately, shouldn't we consider employee benefits?"

Zhenyu wanted the sword on the counter, and even the shield, to create a sword and shield set, which would be perfect for the knight class to have both main and secondary weapons.

But it's too expensive, it costs 60,000 gold coins in total!

She signed a fraudulent contract and worked for free during the day. Although she received commissions, they were not much more than what miners and treasure hunters earned.

They don't save money; they spend whatever they earn on the spot.

Simply put, they can't afford it, so they want to get it for free.

Fang Qi could tell from the other person's shifty eyes that the employee was trying to take advantage of him.

Actually, Fang Qi had already given each of the branch professors a custom-made "corn sword" for free, so it wouldn't hurt to give the shop assistants one too.

After all, the shop assistant was quite capable, doing the work of two people. Even when Luo Xi was in seclusion, he was able to manage the small shop very well, saving him a lot of trouble.

But for some reason, he just wanted to tease this player.

Just as I was wondering how to start the conversation, four turtle-like people suddenly walked in.

Got it!

"Someone's here, go check it out first." Fang opened the box lid and moved it, signaling Zhenyu to do her job first.

Zhenyu turned around and saw four green, bald turtles. Helpless, she walked back, feeling a little angry.

At the crucial moment, she succeeded immediately; those turtles really came at the worst possible time!

"What's wrong? You regret it? Want to change the package? I just asked you, and you didn't want it!" Zhenyu rolled her eyes at the turtle-man in the lead.

"Uh—" Leo, being an honest turtle, was a little embarrassed after being teased: "This is the idea for now, I don't know—"

Zhenyu tossed out a pre-printed flyer: "Take a look first, and let me know when you've got it."

She turned around and ran back to Fang Qi, her meaning clear.

She earned all the benefits herself; she's worked so long, it's time for her to get her monthly bonus!

"I'll give you a choice." Fang Qi didn't keep you in suspense and smiled, "I have a clue for a quest here. In your terms, it should be called a hidden quest chain. Do you want this, or the corn-shaped longsword?"

"Hidden chain of quests?" Zhenyu perked up at the mention of it.

I told you, infiltrating the NPC group and building good relationships with them is always the right thing to do.

Especially someone with a powerful background like the treasure chest owner, who can easily be fed by simply throwing a commission at someone.

If there's a mission, of course I'll choose the mission!

Moreover, the series of tasks sounds like they take a long time, and there might be a legitimate reason to take paid leave.

"I choose the mission!" Zhenyu said expectantly.

"Okay." Fang Qi replied, then used his tentacles to push off the top of the shelf and jumped down, leisurely swaying over to the four turtles.

He waved his tentacles: "I have something good to tell you, do you want to hear it?"

"Holy crap, the treasure chest has come to life!" exclaimed Donnie, the fourth brother.

"So, before we've even gotten the mission, they're going to talk to me about it?" Zhenyu said speechlessly from behind.

Indeed, the art style of the treasure chest owner, this high-ranking NPC, is quite unique. Perhaps that's how the planners designed it; it's very ingenious.

"This is—" As a five-star shop assistant, Zhenyu would not sit idly by and was about to speak up to help her boss save face and gain some goodwill, but Fang Qi stopped her by shaking his tentacle.

"Regarding your trials," he said, being a treasure chest in human form, he didn't find the other party impolite and went straight to the point: "I know the purpose of your visit. The academy can provide you with ample manpower and free access to logic boards as an investment."

Upon hearing this, Leo put down the flyer in his hand, his expression serious: "So, what is the price?"

Although it's unclear why the treasure chest in front of us represents Akasha Academy, the identity of the person in question is unknown, so we must treat it with caution.

However, Donnie thought differently. He bluntly stated, "You, a mere treasure chest, can make decisions for the academy?"

Leo slapped Doni on the shoulder and glared at him: "Sorry, he's young and doesn't know his own words."

"Are these turtles putting on an act with me, testing me?" Fang Qi saw through Leo's intentions.

However, he was no longer the little treasure chest that he used to struggle with for ages with Mo Ning. Too lazy to bother anymore, he immediately took out the academy dean's badge and hung it in front of him.

Dean: Fang Qi

Several large characters appeared on the forehead, shining brightly in gold, and even had a special anti-counterfeiting certification for Tianmu.
