"Sizzle!"

The divination crystal emitted a piercing buzz, and its surface began to heat up. The gray mist inside the crystal churned violently, yet it could not reveal the killer's clear face.

"Interference?" Claire frowned.

His divination crystal is an epic-level item, and one of the best among epic-level items, so divination rarely fails.

Unexpectedly, this attempt failed.

This suggests that the murderer carried something that interfered with divination.

What Claire didn't know was...

When Lin Hui killed Solan, he was wearing a mech, and the mech's magic resistance was 372 million points.

It strongly interferes with any divination or prophecy involving Tier 9, Epic, or lower-level items!

call......

Claire let out a long breath, wiped the cold sweat from her forehead, and then put the divination crystal back into her spatial ring.

In the holographic projection, Bedor asked impatiently, "How did it go? Did you see the killer's face clearly?"

Claire shook her head: "No, the other party has the means to interfere with the divination crystal."

"A method that can interfere with epic-level divination crystals?" Upon hearing this, Bedor took a deep breath, knowing that Claire wouldn't lie to him.

He hesitated for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I understand... Consider this a favor I owe you. If I find any other leads later, I'll come back to you!"

"Alright." Claire nodded wearily and immediately ended the communication.

......

The next morning, at 8 o'clock.

Silver Crown City, a bustling central location.

A towering commercial building stands here, with the four characters "Pangu Group" flashing on a huge holographic projection on its surface.

This is the headquarters of the Pangu Guild.

Although Pangu Guild is only a third-rate power, it owns two major industries, gaming and catering, which are extremely profitable.

Therefore, they are able to own their own group building in the center of Silver Crown City.

On the 88th floor, in a spacious and bright office.

Jess, sporting a striking head of green algae-like hair, spoke up: "You beast! Didn't you pat your chest and promise to be my strategist and help me win over Yi Yi?"

"And the result?! A whole day has passed, and you haven't even found a single hair on my Yi Yi's head! Are you just trying to fool me?"

Chu Sheng rolled his eyes speechlessly:

"Dude, can't you be reasonable? How was I supposed to know you confessed your feelings to her last night without even adding her on social media?!"

"Besides knowing her name is Lin Yiyi and that she's pretty, you know absolutely nothing else! You don't have her contact information, you don't even know where she lives, how can I help you?"

Jess covered his face in pain:

"Ugh... I was so nervous the night before last, my mind went completely blank, and I even forgot to add them on the phone. I'm so awful!"

Seeing his friend's dejected appearance, Chu Sheng shook his head helplessly. "Think again carefully, is there any detail you haven't told me?"

Just then, Jess suddenly looked up, his eyes lighting up, and slapped his thigh hard: "That's it! I remember now!"

"What did you remember?"

"I have a one-way anonymous Star Coin savings card account!" Jess jumped up excitedly. "Doesn't our star system's bank transfer system allow you to leave a message when transferring money?"

"I can transfer money to Yi-yi! As long as I keep transferring money, I can keep chatting with her! I'm a genius!"

"..."

Chu Sheng stared in astonishment, his mouth agape.

After a long pause, he said with exasperation, "Truly, you're something else! Only someone with your level of romantic infatuation could come up with something like this..."

Jess didn't care about Chu Sheng's contempt at all. He quickly turned on his communication bracelet, brought up the bank transfer interface, and selected that familiar account number.

Then, without hesitation, he entered a long string of numbers in the transfer amount field:

[10003421 Star Coins]

After finishing typing, Jess looked up at Chu Sheng with anticipation and urged him:

"Quick! It's time to show your worth! Help me figure out how to send this message!"

Chu Sheng glanced at the long string of numbers, his eyes twitching wildly:

"Are you crazy? Have you lost your mind? Don't forget, you still owe the Interstellar Bank 11 billion star coins!!"

"What's so special about that?" Jess shook his head dismissively. "To show my sincerity, I have to give everything! Money can be earned back, but if my partner leaves, where am I supposed to cry?"

"As for the bank loan... that's money I got through my own abilities, why should I rush to pay it back? I'll just put it off for now! Anyway, I've already been put on the list of dishonest persons."

Fortunately, the player star system has the invention of anonymous savings cards, otherwise he would have really become penniless.

"Stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and think of a message for me! My heart has already flown to Yi-yi's side!"

Chu Sheng sighed deeply.

Having a friend like you makes me feel so ashamed!

But in order to preserve his gender, he pondered for a moment and analyzed:

"First, you need to recognize a reality—she currently has no feelings for you, and even rejects you; she's already on guard."

"Therefore, the first message you absolutely must not include confessing your feelings or saying anything unnecessary. The core objective is singular: to lower her guard!"

"You need to make it clear to her that you won't bother her. Only if she doesn't develop a strong aversion to you will we have a chance to gradually work things out later."

"Strategist's insight is brilliant!" Jess nodded repeatedly.

Chu Sheng held out his hand. "Give me the input permissions for your bracelet."

Jess obediently did as instructed.

Chu Sheng typed a message in the transfer message box:

[Yiyi, I transferred the money just to remind you of something: my brother Chusheng has a lot of information about the ranked dungeons! If you need it, you can contact him anytime. We're brothers in arms, he'll definitely help you.]

After finishing typing, Chu Sheng continued:

"Lin Yiyi is a new player. She will be entering the ladder dungeon in five days. She should be searching for dungeon guides everywhere right now."

"She rejects you, but she doesn't reject me. After she finishes reading this, there's a good chance she'll come to me for information. If she does, I'm confident I can get her private contact number for you!"

"Brilliant... absolutely brilliant!" Jess exclaimed, giving a thumbs up. "What a beast! This roundabout way of achieving his goal is truly dirty, but... I love it!"

"Get lost, you're the dirty one!" Chu Sheng cursed irritably. "Hurry up and press the confirm button!"

"Alright! Yi-yi, your knight is here!"

Jess pressed the "Confirm Transfer" button on the holographic screen with great anticipation.

However, the next second.

Instead of a "transfer successful" message appearing on the holographic screen, a red warning box popped up.

[Notification: The recipient account you transferred funds to has been deactivated and the transfer cannot be completed!]
