Sir! Don't close the net!

After saying that, Valkyrie turned around and prepared to leave, but unfortunately, she was grabbed by the arm by Valkyrie before she could take two steps.

"Sister Lei, is something urgent?" Valqiu Yuan narrowed her eyes slightly. "We haven't seen each other for so long, we should have a lot to talk about."

"..."

“Hahaha—that’s why I thought we could go to the shop and talk about it slowly,” Valhae Rae chuckled and pointed to the pastry shop not far away.

"Is that so?" Valkyrie raised an eyebrow, but did not let go of Valkyrie's hand. Instead, she pulled Valkyrie into the confectionery shop and sat in the corner.

Seeing that she couldn't escape, Valkyrie simply gave up, crossed her arms, leaned back in her chair, and whistled fearlessly.

“Lei, are you hiding something from me?” Valkyrie interlaced her fingers and narrowed her eyes slightly.

The waiter holding the menu was taken aback, looked Valkyrie up and down, and swallowed hard.

She remembered that when she first came in, she was a beautiful and innocent young girl, but now she seemed to have grown bigger, and her loose clothes now fit her perfectly, outlining her proud figure.

"What could I possibly have..."

“Lei, you know what happens if you lie to me?” Valkyrie smiled slightly, raised her hand and pointed to the first page of the menu in the waiter’s hand. “I want everything on this page.”

"Huh? Mm."

The waiter nodded quickly, turned around, and left.

Valkyrie turned her face away guiltily and continued whistling. Valkyrie was not in a hurry and tapped the table rhythmically with her index finger. The beat seemed to hit her heart, making Valkyrie unable to hold back. After five minutes, Valkyrie raised her hands above her head.

"I'm sorry, my pure camaraderie with my subordinates has inadvertently escalated."

Valkyrie's elbow slipped, and she nearly crashed headfirst into the table.

"You...you bastard! Why did it have to be you first...first...you bastard!" Valkyrie took the coffee the waiter handed her and gulped it down.

"Damn it—this coffee is more bitter than my life! Don't you have a secret mission? Aren't you very busy?!"

"My subordinates are so capable," Valkyrie thought to herself, letting out a quiet sigh of relief and proudly raising her head.

“Capable…tch,” Valkyrie smacked her lips in frustration, then tapped the table with her finger. “Anything else?”

Valkyrie's heart skipped a beat, and she subconsciously turned her eyes away. "I used up Gungnir."

"Huh? That's it?"

“Eh—” Valkyrie was taken aback.

What do you mean by "that's all"?

"I thought you'd made some big mistake and that's why you're being so hesitant," Valkyrie said calmly after confirming that Valkyrie was no longer hiding anything. She raised her hand and waved, then turned to look out the window with her empty coffee cup in her hand. "I know you find it troublesome to apply for another one. I've already used one up, so I'll apply for one for you later."

"Hey—you used it up too!"

"Isn't that obvious? Why not keep such a powerful weapon as a clothes rack?" Valkyr Iris rolled her eyes.

“Uh…didn’t we say to avoid using it as much as possible?” Valhae Rei shrank back.

"If you're not allowed to use it, why give it to us?" Valkyrie waved her hand.

"As long as we don't miss."

Chapter Seven: Fulfilling a Wish in Just One Second

As long as it doesn't miss...

Valkyrie instantly cleared her mind, calmly turning her head to look out the window while holding the coffee in front of her.

"Gungnir can actually miss? Unbelievable."

“Who knows?” Valhaw Iris shrugged, her eyes narrowing slightly as she looked out the window. “All I know is that we absolutely cannot miss Gungnir. As for what will happen if we miss, only the Asar faction in the Galar Horn and the dwarf master who forged Gungnir know.”

“Eh…” Valhae Rae took a sip of coffee, her eyes darting around for a moment before she casually asked, “Speaking of which, why are you in Instass, Iris?”

“Of course it’s something important. What about you? With such a big incident in Guoweidun, why are you here at Instas?” Valqiu Yuan withdrew her gaze.

“Of course it’s something important,” Valkyrie said, arms crossed, her expression extremely serious.

"Yeah?"

"Of course!"

Valkyrie looked Valkyrie up and down with suspicion, but Valkyrie's expression was very serious, and she couldn't find any flaws.

“Alright,” Valkyrie let out a breath, stood up, and waved to the waiter. “Do you know about the Star Familiars that suddenly appeared three years ago?”

“Of course I know that,” Valkyrie said with a serious expression. “There are fewer than twenty people, but they’ve managed to cause a lot of big trouble in the year they’ve been around.”

Valkyrie paused for a moment, then lowered her head, her face full of disgust.

"I really don't want to have anything to do with them."

“Unfortunately, they’ve started making moves recently,” Valkyr Iris straightened her clothes and placed a gold coin in the waiter’s hand. “Although I don’t know what it is, the situation with Guo Weiton has made them more active.”

“Eh…”

... "

"In short, if there is anything important in Instas, keep a low profile. It will be very troublesome if the Star Clan finds out that you are involved in the Guo Weidun incident."

After saying that, Valkyrie waved her hand and turned to leave the pastry shop.

After confirming that Valhagi Kite had gone far away, Valhagi Rei let out a long sigh of relief. She rested her chin on her hand and used her right hand to poke at the strawberries on the cake one after another with a fork until the strawberries were completely submerged in the cream. Only then did Valhagi Rei lower her head and let out another long sigh of relief.

"One troublesome message after another, when will I only have to worry about whether I can handle it in bed?"

"Boom boom boom——"

The sound of tapping on the glass interrupted Valkyrie's complaints. Valkyrie blinked, looked up, and saw Li Yili looking down at him with slanted eyes outside the window.

"Hey—"

"You idiot, didn't I tell you to watch the luggage?" Li Yili slapped her forehead with a helpless expression.

"I was a little tired from looking at the luggage, so I wanted to eat something to recharge," Valkyrie said, handing a packaged cake to Li Yili with a fawning smile and gently patting Li Yili's arm. "Thank you for your hard work. Did you get the housing issue sorted out?"

"It's all settled, a sea-view room."

“Hey—I don’t want to be neighbors with pirates,” Valkyrie said, immediately becoming unhappy and gently shaking Li Yili’s arm.

"Although it's a sea-view room, it was originally a lighthouse built on a cliff."

"Huh? Or did you change it? Even if I have to sleep on the streets or under a bridge today, I absolutely will not—"

"There is an open-air hot spring on the roof, a wine cellar underground, and a dedicated pipeline supplying usable water and gas."

"I love you--"

Ignoring the passersby, Valkyrie cupped Li Yili's face, stood on tiptoe, and kissed her deeply, even sticking out her tongue to express her affection.

The men on the roadside all stopped in their tracks, staring blankly at the scene before them.

After a five-minute-long passionate kiss, Valhae Rae turned around and cheered with her hands above her head.

"Great! I finally have a wine cellar!"

Li Yili rolled her eyes, wiped her mouth with her sleeve, and glanced sideways at the men around her who were walking strangely.

He understood the reactions of these gay men; he had felt the same way before.

“If you understand, then take these bags back. I want to walk around here and get a better understanding of the situation,” Li Yili said, slapping the marked map onto Valkyrie’s head.

"Mmm-hmm-hmm—"

Valkyrie tore off the map, nodded, and jumped into the carriage, skillfully urging the horse forward with the reins.

As the carriage receded into the distance, Li Yili's lips twitched.

This guy, even though he knows how to drive a carriage, is incredibly lazy. He even mocked him while he was frantically trying to drive the carriage.

"Never mind... The important thing now is, where are all the Sheep Village companies located?"

Li Yili pulled out a second map from her pocket, looked around, then looked down at the map in her hand, her brows furrowing slightly. She decided to think as she walked, since the map wouldn't mark which shops were for sale.

Sheep Village is a logistics company, so the best choice would naturally be the city center of Instas. However, Instas is not Gowerton. Instas is the largest seaport in the Nibelungen, and its economy is already mature. There are definitely many logistics companies there. It will not be easy for Sheep Village to squeeze into the Instas market.

The best option would be to have the local powerhouse, the Flame Elf, help the Sheep Village as the largest steel mill. However, there is a strong sense of hierarchy among the various departments within Life Beyond. As the lowest-ranking department within Life Beyond, if he were to meet the Flame Elf, the chosen one, as the new head of the Black Goat's cub department, he would most likely be severely humiliated.

He wouldn't do something where the outcome was obvious.

Fortunately, the mother named "Black Goat," whom he had never met, was not as terrifying as rumored. In fact, she was quite generous to him. He could freely mobilize all the resources that Black Goat, as a cadre, could control. Putting aside the pollutants, money, a worldly thing that was dispensable to faith, was something he could use as much as he wanted.

But there are many things in this world that money can't buy.

Unbeknownst to her, Li Yili arrived in front of Yan Jingling's office building.

In short, it's high-end, classy, ​​and sophisticated. Standing seven stories tall, it stands out conspicuously among the mostly three- or four-story buildings. The walls are decorated with artistic patterns made of various colored bricks, and quite domineeringly, it forms a V-shape, refusing to be placed alongside other office buildings and occupying a large open space for landscaping and carriage parking. The fire sprite logo atop the building is incredibly eye-catching.

It has a church-like style.

Therefore, this building cannot be acquired simply by having money; it also requires power, reputation, achievements, and other factors.

Li Yili sighed, one hand on her waist.

"I wonder how long it will take before Sheep Village has a building of this size."

The moment Li Yili finished speaking, the Fire Sprite logo on the top of the office building fell down, and a cute sheep's head stood up. The sign for the Fire Sprite Steel Plant, which stood in the middle of the greenery in front of the building, was dragged away and replaced by the sign for Sheep Village Logistics.

His wish was fulfilled in less than a second.

Chapter Eight He

They could have easily robbed us, but they even kindly helped us pack the food.

Li Yili raised her right hand in a daze and slapped it across her face.

it hurts--

Now we can be sure this isn't a dream.

The Fire Elf Building, which could only be built by wealth, power, fame, and other factors, was replaced by Sheep Village Logistics in just one second in front of him. It was so absurd that it seemed like a dream, but that was reality.

Why did things turn out this way?

There might only be one thing he could think of.

"Al-Jonor, you bastard..."

Li Yili's eyes twitched wildly, and she quickened her pace. In front of the gate, which was far more impressive than the Sheep Village Building, El, Abu Jean, Heman, Joel, and others were supervising people wearing Fire Elf Steelworks uniforms as they moved boxes, with their hands behind their backs.

"El, what's going on..." Li Yili's eyes twitched violently.
