After lunch, Li Fengyun was surprised to find an iron box in the room, which looked extremely familiar.

"Wait, I must have sent this box out in the morning... Did I have hallucinations when I was distracted again? Forget it, let's send it again."

Li Fengyun is an extremely serious person. While speaking, he began to prepare for freight flying swords. However, before he had time to put the money box on the flying sword, his wife came over angrily and slapped off his flying sword.

"Don't be stupid! This is returned by your daughter! By the way, this letter is also there! The letter says that even if she dies, she will not eat food that comes from pity!"

Li Fengyun was stunned for a moment: "But she said she wanted 100,000 spirit stones..."

"I told you that she was playing tricks on you!"

"But she's very serious about her writing..."

"Write carefully with the little finger of the left thumb? Is there any trick in her mind?!"

While the couple was arguing, the second butler of the courtyard who was following Lu Xin couldn't help but take a step forward, opened his mouth, but did not dare to speak.

Lu Xin waved his hand without looking back and said, "If you have something to say!"

Li Ping whispered: "I think maybe this is a misunderstanding. It must be a joke to say that Miss Qingming doesn't want money. She has been troubled by poverty over the past few years and is still quite persistent in money. Although the matter of 100,000 spirit stones must be an angry thing, it may not be a joke to the master. The key to the problem is that the method of giving money is wrong."

Lu Xin asked: "What other way is needed to send money?"

Li Ping explained: "There are many tricks here. Because people need face, no matter how greedy a person is, they are unwilling to admit that they are greedy on the surface, so they usually don't accept the money directly. At least they need to make some adjustments and send the money out in a more tactful way."

Lu Xin frowned: "Is there such a saying? Then what do you mean by the euphemism? Write a note in the box: Didn't we mean to give it to you on purpose?"

Li Ping said: "...No, you need to do it more cleverly, such as birthday gifts."

"Qing Ming's birthday is March."

"I know, just give an example. For example..." Li Ping teased, "For example, did Miss Qingming register in the Mutual Aid Association? Madam, you are a senior consultant of the association. You might as well post a few tasks for Miss Qingming. The content can be very simple, such as going to surrounding villages and towns to catch some unseasonable ghosts, or making dozens of white talismans. But only she can meet the conditions for receiving tasks - for example, you are required to break through wind barriers at the age of 14, be good at swordsmanship, be proficient in mechanism traps and mathematics. Then set the rewards very generously, so that you can give the money cleverly without hurting the lady's self-esteem."

Lu Xin's eyes lit up, but hesitated: "It sounds good, but this is just your whimsical, right?"

Li Ping smiled and said, "No, this is really not a new trick. Many people have done similar things. For example, when bidding for institutions, setting up a certain special qualification requirement so that all institutions outside the internally determined will be defeated. This is equivalent to giving away the project funds directly. Of course, there must be kickbacks."

"So that's it." Lu Xin nodded, but suddenly pondered, and said after a moment: "Speaking of it, when I redecorated the small garden of the outer courtyard last year, I found the construction team..."

Li Ping's cold sweat suddenly came down: "Madam, I'm innocent!"

"Well, I'll believe you when I go around the city for ten laps."

After sending Li Ping, Lu Xin asked her husband: "What do you think?"

“…”

"Li Fengyun!"

"Sorry, because you were discussing something I didn't understand very well, so I got distracted. Anyway, if you think you can, just do it, I have no objection."

In the afternoon of the same day, Wang Jiu left Chenyuan and went to the Mutual Aid Association to receive a new Hundreds of missions.

Due to money, I have to do it.

Chenyuan is now out of ammunition and food. After Li Qingming refused the 100,000 spirit stones to give a pity, Wang Jiu took stock of Chenyuan's assets and found that due to the crazy shopping and real estate investment for a period of time, Chenyuan's cash was completely exhausted and he could not afford to buy takeaway steamed buns.

So much so that when Li Qingming hummed and begged Wang Jiu to help her order food on the bed, out of humane obligations, Wang Jiu could only suggest that she eat grass roots and bark that could be used for local materials in Shenyuan.

In addition, Wang Jiu has just thought of several new ideas recently, which also requires a large amount of capital investment.

Considering that Li Qingming is not active in his practice, is inconvenient to move, and his IQ index is relatively limited, Wang Jiu can only rely on himself as his master. Now, there will be no new book published in Li Jinglun in a short period of time, and the funds can only be relied on the Mutual Assistance Association.

According to the regulations of the Mutual Aid Association, newly registered monks can receive three Hundred Schools missions, and then they will leave the novice period and no longer enjoy the benefits of novice. Li Qingming's account has two chances, and considering the huge income of the first Hundred Schools mission, Wang Jiu is still looking forward to this action.

However, the mount Li Qingming poured cold water on this.

"You're thinking too much. The Hundred Schools of Missions are just benefits for novices, not money from heaven. Last time you had a bad luck and met Li Jinglun, the idiot and rich man. It's impossible for you to have a second time!"

"Well, for a mount that is basically unable to rely on its own support and depends entirely on the owner's feed, your decisive judgment really highlights a mysterious confidence."

"I...hum, I'll put my words here. If you can earn even 100 spirit stones in this second mission of the Hundred Schools, I will promise you any condition. If you can't make money, you will promise me one condition. How about it?"

"If I agree now, it means I promised you a condition. Can it be regarded as a reward for pre-paying the bet for victory?"

“…Of course not.”

"Then why should I promise you?"

"Because...I... that, you are so annoying!"

At noon, Qingyun City was as prosperous and noisy as ever. As a Xiangzhou city with a population of more than two million, the city gathers the essence of more than ten cities and hundreds of villages within a radius of hundreds of miles. More than 10,000 immortal cultivators and ten times the number of elite civilians are busy day and night in the central area of ​​Qingyun City, maintaining the prosperity of the city.

The Qingyun Mutual Aid Association, even in the central area known for its prosperity, has its most popular popularity. It is open for twelve hours a day, and whenever you come here, you can see the crowds of people in front of the door.

The situation today is particularly serious. Wang Jiu was far away and saw the crowds of people in front of the three high tower gates. After squeezing into the tower and coming to the spacious first-floor hall, Wang Jiu found that there were indeed at least 20% more people than before, and most of them were novice monks at the wind-flying realm. Although the realm was not high, they were immortal cultivators after all, so even lined up in front of the VIP window.

Holding Li Qingming's VIP license plate, Wang Jiu came to the window where he had received the tasks of a hundred schools again. By chance, he met the girl he had received the last time. Seeing Wang Jiu who looked like a colorful dwarf, the girl was stunned for a moment, then smiled sweetly: "Is it a monk Li Qingming? Good afternoon, I'm very happy to serve you."

While handing over the license plate, Wang Jiu wrote a note and wrote: "I'll collect the tasks of hundreds of schools."

The little girl said, "Then you are really here today. Someone has released two tasks with very generous rewards. It should be said that they are unprecedentedly generous. Look, these two."

The little girl lifted the bamboo slips on her desk, which just showed the information about the two hundred tasks.

The first task is to assist a scholar and monk in the study of immortal arts and handle some simple calculation work. Judging from the task brief, the calculation work is really very simple, but the reward is as high as 5,000 spirit stones.

The second task is to assist in the production of the guidance image rune stone for the low-level swordsman "Chasing Wind Sword". Simply put, it is a swordsman who is good at Chromatic Sword to fully practice the sword technique, and then a dedicated person can completely capture the image through video recording, seal it into the playstone, and sell it to those warriors or new monks who lack special guidance at a low price. In fact, many monks with ordinary families have accepted this type of task, and the reward is generally not too much. However, as a task of a hundred schools of thought, the reward is as high as ten thousand spirit stones!

"How is it? Isn't it very exaggerated? I have worked here for more than a year and have seen a hundred tasks of ten thousand spirit stones for the first time. This amount of tasks usually only appears in the towers on the highest level. I have worked hard all my life and never saw so many spirit stones." The girl stuck out her tongue, "But the conditions for collecting these two tasks are particularly tricky. There are many people here today to try to collect tasks, but none of them can perfectly meet the requirements of the publisher."

Next, the customer service girl showed the task conditions, which was more than just being tricky, and it was simply difficult.

Mission requirements: Female, between 14 and 15 years old, under 1.5 meters tall, realm required, early stage of Fengqi Realm, good at swordsmanship, mathematics, trap mechanisms, and writing with the thumb and little finger of the left hand...

"How is it? Isn't it too much? Such tricky conditions feel like a prank. Although each item is not outrageous, no one can meet so many conditions together. We all think that the publisher is probably showing off his wealth... Okay, next I will recommend a few normal tasks to you..."

Before the girl finished speaking, Wang Jiu had already written a note and handed it over.

"I want to receive these two tasks."

"...Ha?" The girl pinched the note hard and read it several times, afraid that it was because of her handwriting that she was too curious, so she confirmed, "You want to receive these two tasks? Can you meet the requirements for collection?"

Wang Jiu thought about it. Although strictly speaking, neither he, as a sword spirit nor Li Qingming as a mount could all meet the requirements for collection, there was no problem with combining the two.
