Fang Yu clearly remembered that the old wretch still wanted to turn him, Fang Yu, into a [shell].
Fang Yu felt somewhat uneasy.
The information from Lord Li Baizhen was too one-sided.
He needed more information, or rather, information about demons.
At this moment, Lord Li Baizhen came over and patted Fang Yu’s shoulder.
"The matter is already over, no need to be scared."
"Although the way it ended is a little different from what you imagined."
"But the Green Demon is dead, and the Great Demon behind it has also been slain. Your mission can be considered complete."
"I will report to the higher-ups and let them reward you accordingly."
"Moreover, with the Green Demon’s death, the Lin Family will no longer bother you, the previous concerns naturally need not be worried about anymore."
Fang Yu knew what Lord Li Baizhen was talking about.
With the Green Demon’s death, the three-day limit set by the Lin Family automatically became invalid, no one would pursue it further against him.
It had effectively shifted the public’s attention away from him.
He was back among the general populace, no longer the center of attention.
But would the Lin Family no longer bother him? That would depend on whether that old thing from the Lin Family was still alive.
If alive, Fang Yu had to be extremely cautious in his every breath; he might as well prepare to flee.
If dead, then naturally it goes without saying, but that would also mean that something even more terrifying had occurred.
That would be... one of Tianyuan Town’s Five Great Families, the Lin Family, collapses.
With their pillar gone, what good days could the Lin Family hope for?
For a moment, Fang Yu didn’t even know whether it was better for the old wretch to be alive or dead.
Personally speaking, it would be best if the old wretch was dead.
But in terms of the overall situation, it was safest if the old wretch was alive.
If he truly died, and the Lin Family was taken over by demons, then how long could Tianyuan Town hold out?
They could be the Lin Family Patriarch, and naturally they could be the Li Family Patriarch, or the Hei Family Master.
Dangerous dangerous dangerous!!
Thinking about it was very dangerous.
Indeed, he must prepare a back-up plan to flee; continuing this way was not feasible.
Suddenly thinking of something, Lord Li Baizhen spoke again.
"Right, weren’t you investigating Mo Lingyu’s whereabouts before? One of my subordinates saw her sneaking into Luoli Square."
"I instructed that subordinate to keep under cover and wait for orders. I kept her for you."
"Since you now have no undercover task, why not take a trip to Luoli Square and capture her?"
Fang Yu’s eyes immediately lit up.
Who would have thought, Mo Lingyu had not fled Tianyuan Town but was still wandering around in town.
Capturing this person, wouldn’t that mean there’s no need to even check the post stations?
Patted Fang Yu’s shoulder, Lord Li Baizhen said.
"Work hard at cultivating, accomplish great achievements, rise up the ranks! Don’t let down my training!"
Fang Yu nodded vigorously.
Then immediately thought of something and quickly asked.
"Lord Li Baizhen, if the deaths of the Green Demon and that Great Demon could be credited to me, how much achievement could I possibly get?"
Lord Li Baizhen, upon hearing this, slightly startled.
Then, he immediately understood something and couldn’t help but frown slightly.
"You’re thinking of laying hands on others again?"
Obviously, he had also heard about some deeds of Fang Yu in the Prison.
Or rather, Fang Yu’s two dealings with the Prison had caused quite a stir, although the prisoners there didn’t really have any rights.
But since Pan Sheng Mansion had been persuaded by some people to keep investigating, it was indeed very problematic.
"Rein yourself in a bit, being investigated too much by Pan Sheng Mansion will affect your promotion."
This was a very implicit unspoken rule, although no one had ever mentioned it.
But that did not mean it didn’t exist; in fact, many times during the comprehensive assessment for promotion, the rating from Pan Sheng Mansion accounted for a considerable portion.
After all, Pan Sheng Mansion checked both internally and externally and was considered a supervisory institution among the Three Mansions.
"Lord Li Baizhen, rest assured, I know my limits."
Knowing my limits my ass!
What use is a promotion?
I just want to chop, chop, chop!
Killing people and demons for the Golden Belt, you ask me if I want a promotion?
I’ll just overpower everything with my strength; what use is a position?
Outwardly humble in obedience, but inwardly not taking this seriously at all.
Especially when Lord Li Baizhen, after pondering for a while, slowly stated that he might be able to scrape up about ’10 points’ of achievement, Fang Yu’s eyes brightened even more.
More than he had anticipated.
Because from the perspective of the Foolish Underworld above, the Green Demon wasn’t killed by him, he hadn’t reported his own identity, and the Great Demon above the Green Demon also had nothing to do with him.
The only real connection was the tracking that eventually concluded with the long-suffering undercover work.
Now being settled, because this whole matter had concluded, it was time for an overall settlement, to evaluate his share of merit in the entire event.
So, that was why he could scrape up some merit.
Could scrape up, but not much.
This was Fang Yu’s current situation.
But he was already very satisfied.
For Fang Yu, having merits for chopping people was enough.
As for the rest of the major merits, they were probably on Lord Li Baizhen’s head, or some people above him.
What was above Householder, Fang Yu didn’t know, but looking at Lord Li Baizhen’s appearance, it seemed like Householder was at its limit, unable to rise higher, especially as his strength had long stagnated.
Fang Yu discovered that actually most people did not show obvious improvement in strength, or rather, their speed of improvement was not quick, not as exaggerated as his and the Green Demon’s growth rates.
Fang Yu relied on the interface, the Green Demon relied on consuming humans, while native NPCs like Lord Li Baizhen seemed只能练死劲.
This made it understandable why Lord Li Baizhen’s strength had stopped improving.
After all, the game had been open for almost half a month, close to around 20 days.
In such time, for powerful individuals like Lord Li Baizhen whose strength had gradually stabilized, it was only logical that their values did not increase.
