"Did you find it?"
"That’s great!"
In the office, Committee mber Gu Lin listened to the phone, his eyes lighting up as he slapped his leg!
"Hahaha!"
After planning secretly for so long and with great effort, deploying hundreds of committee mbers in plain clothes and special shoes, scouting every inch of land around West State University, finally, enough life signals were gathered. Coupled with big data, the location of that father mushroom was finally uncovered!
Committee mber Gu Lin opened a secure email on his computer and saw the specific coordinates.
It was located three kiloters southeast at an intersection.
He imdiately dialed a number.
"Hello, Captain Wang?"
"This is Gu Lin from the Immortal Technique Committee.
"We need to carry out a major task at the intersection of Phoenix Road and West State University South Road.
"We need an excavator to open up the road, requiring large-scale operations.
"This task is very special and must be kept confidential, so please stop traffic from entering this intersection."
...
"Oh, yes, it needs to be confidential; please find a reason, avoid making it public or causing an impact.
...
"Oh, yes, please do it quickly, within half an hour!
"Thank you!"
Hanging up the phone, Committee mber Gu Lin bit his lip, widened his eyes, stood up, grinned, and felt triumphant! The committee will soon have its very own Immortal Grass!
Committee mber Gu Lin was sure that this ti the committee’s actions were covert enough, not causing any stir. The majority of the mbers involved were not even aware. Only a few top mbers knew the truth.
What Dark World, what Ancient Immortal... Even that Mr. Mystery probably hadn’t noticed.
"Heh heh, the Immortal Grass will soon be ours!"
...
Three kiloters southeast, at the intersection of Phoenix Road and West State University South Road.
The scorching sun blazed, and the cicadas buzzed continuously.
Cars passing through began to dwindle.
Wang Dongliang pedaled furiously on a shared bicycle, his eyes darting around, searching for the accident site.
"Where is it?
"Yaoyao?
"Where is it?"
He didn’t see anyone; only a pool of blood on the roadside asphalt, almost dried up by the sun, attracting a swarm of flies.
"What the hell?"
He jumped off the shared bicycle, rushed forward quickly, eyes wide open.
"Damn it..."
"Ouch!"
He subconsciously lifted his foot.
Huh?
His foot hurt?
Has he found the location required for the task?
Would he get the reward?
Would he get the bull-running car?
For a mont, he looked at the pool of blood on the ground, unsure if it belonged to Yaoyao, and then at his own foot, feeling quite conflicted, not sure whether to be happy or not.
He lowered his foot, feeling the sharp pain as he touched the ground.
But he didn’t care, imdiately pulling out his phone, opening the dark web, and ssaging his boss.
"Boss, I’ve found the place"
"At the intersection of Phoenix Road and West State University South Road"
...
Inside the air-conditioned room.
Fatty Wang Yuanbao was at the computer, staring at the screen, fingers clattering on the keys, recruiting new workers on the dark web.
Suddenly, his phone screen lit up, showing a ssage.
He picked it up, took a glance, eyes widening as he chuckled.
"Hahaha, Master, I’ve found it! I’ve found it!"
In his mind, he heard the voice of his Ancient Immortal Master.
"Look at you! What are you rushing for? Let go and check first."
A white mist spread from the jade pendant on Fatty’s chest, and a bee buzzed out, wings flapping as it flew away through the window gap, heading for the distance.
...
At the intersection.
Wang Dongliang squatted on the ground, staring at his phone screen.
He had just called the counselor to confirm Yaoyao had been taken away by an ambulance.
Now squatting on the sidewalk under the shade, he occasionally glanced at the dark web chat interface and at his phone banking app, checking for any transaction record.
His foot continued to sting, but not too painfully, so he couldn’t be bothered.
What he didn’t know was that a thin mycelium had drilled out from the gaps in the pavent, piercing through his shoe sole, his socks, probing into the wound on his foot, releasing toxins to numb his senses while draining his blood!
Nearby, a buzzing sound suddenly erged—it’s a yellow bee flying by, causing him to frown, feeling annoyed and disgusted.
Suddenly, there was a ssage on the dark web.
"Haha brother, well done, confird, no problem!"
His phone imdiately popped up a transaction record.
"Your account...600,000.00 yuan..."
Huh?
Six hundred thousand?
A ssage from the dark web boss popped up again.
"Thanks a lot, brother, gave you an extra hundred thousand as a hardship allowance"
"Damn, so far away from West State University, it’s amazing you found it"
"No one else could have found it except you!"
"It’s your hard work, also my opportunity"
"You’ve done a great job!"
"Brother, keep this confidential, this transaction actually violates the non-monetary regulation. If news gets out, we might get caught by the Immortal Technique Committee"
"Keep it confidential!"
Wang Dongliang grinned and turned off the phone.
He obviously knew the money wasn’t legitimate and needed to be kept secret.
He imdiately got up, picked up the shared bicycle, pedaled away at high speed, heading toward the hospital. Now he had money to help pay for Yaoyao’s dical bills!
anwhile, the mycelium secretly draining his blood quietly retreated, vanishing into the gaps between the bricks as if it had never appeared.
Under the tree shade, it was empty again, leaving only a bee circling around in the flowerbed, seemingly puzzled, pondering how to proceed.
Finding the location of this Immortal Grass is truly not easy!
You either use massive resources and effort like the Immortal Book Committee.
Or stumble upon it by chance like Fatty and Wang Dongliang, a bit of dumb luck.
