Best Choice

"All the镖师 (bodyguards/escorts) are aware of the risk of losing goods. They are willing to take responsibility and can discuss it with the people in the镖队 (escort team) and their families."

If they have enough strength, no one will stop them.

But I am confident that every order that I have reviewed will be absolutely problem-free.

The Third Chief once said something that I agree with, and I want to say it again today.

As long as we brothers work together, no one can take money from our pockets! No one can!

Chen Lu scanned all the bodyguards present: "Brother Song, Da Long, Brother Mo, Brother Long, what do you think?"

The group exchanged glances and fell into a brief silence.

Everyone has seen what Chen Lu has done.

Whether it was resolving the Yuansheng Sect's attack on cultivators or salvaging everyone's interests, he never let anyone down.

Without him, the second ambush at Yuanshengmen would have been enough to cost him his entire life's work.

Without his efforts to salvage everyone's interests, they would only receive fifty spirits' worth of pay from now on, and not a penny more.

All these changes are the result of Chen Lu's efforts, and his actions prove that he will not let anyone down.

He deserves everyone's trust!

Then everyone responded in unison, "No objections!"

The third镖头 (bodyguard) was slightly taken aback.

This kid is even bolder than me.

Chen Lu has never disappointed people, and on the other hand, Elder Chuanjing must have had his reasons for doing this.

Since this right has been granted, it should be given to Chen Lu so that he can use it with confidence and boldness.

Giving up this right out of caution would only disappoint the expectations of the Transmitting Scripture Elder.

Facts will prove everything.

With me watching over things the whole time, there shouldn't be any problems. I haven't been a bodyguard for nothing all these years.

After reaffirming his resolve, the third镖头 (bodyguard/escort) resumed command of the operation:

"Ah Lu, since you have confidence, I won't say anything more."

Amo, give the information you two brothers have gathered to Alu.

We'll be departing in three days. You need to make your choice within these three days: whether or not to accept our offer.

Chen Lu nodded slightly and accepted the information the two had gathered:

"Alright, I'll give you the result of whether it passes or not by this time tomorrow. Brothers, you must be there then."

"Okay." ×N

......

the next day.

"Master Chen, Third Chief Escort, it's a pleasure doing business with you!"

Nine people were sitting at a table in a restaurant.

Besides the five members of the escort team and Wang Shenglong, there were also two people from the law enforcement department.

The caravan members cheerfully picked up their wine glasses and hurried over to greet them.

"Lord Treasury Master, Lord Punishment Master, it is our honor to cooperate with you two!"

We will ensure the safe delivery of your goods!

The three镖头 (bodyguards) smiled obsequiously, and Chen Lu was almost the same.

There's no other reason than that these two are Foundation Establishment cultivators, who can easily overpower everyone in this room, and they're still speaking so politely. What else could it be but an honor?

"Third Chief, you don't need to be too careful. Nobody dares to touch the goods from the Enforcement Bureau."

The head of punishments at Fenglinfang initially appeared nonchalant, but then his expression gradually turned serious:

"If someone sees that the goods belong to the law enforcement department, but they are still robbed."

As long as none of you here have leaked any information, you will not have to bear any responsibility.

You don't need to pay a single spirit fragment; the dart fee will still be paid.

What you need to do is keep this a secret and not let cultivators outside know about it.

If a single sentence gets out, everyone present, including their families, will die.

The last two words were very clear, and almost instantly, an uncontrollable fear welled up from the bottom of everyone's hearts.

His whole body was stiff, as if he were being stared at by a ferocious tiger, and all he could do seemed to be nod.

"Alright, as long as you keep your promise, I think this cooperation with the law enforcement agency will be the best and most profitable order you've ever done."

After the steward of punishments finished speaking, he stood up and left with the steward of the storeroom.

The table was laden with top-quality delicacies, yet none of them were touched, and the five jars of fine wine remained unsealed.

These items are worth more than their bids.

As for the bill, the two managers have already paid it.

The invoice was issued, though the price was a little higher.

The bodyguards thoroughly enjoyed their meal.

When the third镖头 (head of the镖师) wanted to open a bottle of wine and have a good drink, the others immediately stopped him.

The three镖头 (bodyguards) were filled with doubt; such wine was something no one would ever want to drink in their entire life.

If someone's treating you to a meal, wouldn't it be a shame to refuse?

The reason given by everyone was exactly the same: they wanted to save it for Da Long's wedding.

The third镖头 (bodyguard) was so angry that his face darkened, and he couldn't say a word for a long time.

To compensate the three镖头 (bodyguards), everyone chipped in and bought several jars of decent wine that weren't too expensive.

The group drank heavily until dawn.

After so many years, today is the happiest day for everyone.

Finally, for the first time, without the family's interference, they received a large sum of money.

This money, when divided among everyone, amounted to a hundred shires.

The key point is that this is very stable, and they can keep earning money unless the head of law enforcement is changed.

This one is much more reliable than the one who used to be the head镖师 (bodyguard/escort) in Chizhu Immortal City.

If they find other jobs, their monthly income will be double what it was before!

As everyone chatted, the conversation eventually boiled down to just one thing: the children in their families.

If we earn more money, the children will be able to devote more energy to their spiritual practice in the future.

You don't have to do unrelated work!

If something doesn't go your way, you can simply refuse it.

It would be even better if one could cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage.

The next day, Chen Lu rented a carriage and sent the group of drunkards back to their respective homes.

He drank quite a bit of alcohol, but to prevent any accidents, he kept taking hangover pills.

He still has one more thing to do.

I took out a loan to buy an alchemy furnace.

Such crucial matters naturally require divination.

He was very satisfied with the "Spirit-Guiding Crossbow" he bought last time.

He was hoping that he would have that same good luck again today.

"Disciple Chen Lu humbly beseeches the divine will to reveal to me the most suitable location for my alchemy furnace!"

[Average Fortune - Neutral: Tomorrow night at 9 PM, the law enforcement team will raid the black market and seize a batch of illegal religious artifacts.]

Wang Shenglong happened to be in charge and ultimately purchased a low-grade alchemy furnace at half price. However, there was a risk that the matter of the alchemy apprenticeship would be leaked.

[Medium-lower odds - even: Tonight on the black market, I will purchase a low-grade alchemy furnace at 70% of its original price.]

However, when law enforcement raids the black market, in order to maintain secrecy, a 30% commission is charged as an unexpected fee.

[Auspicious/Medium Fortune: A new batch of Medicine King Sect ritual artifacts has arrived at Minghui Lingbao Pavilion.]

I went there around noon today, took out the Sky-Piercing Bow, and under the pretext of repaying a loan with goods, took the opportunity to inquire about the situation.

Ultimately, the only 'Medicine King Sect Experimental' mid-grade alchemy furnace was purchased at a low price, with a purchase contract signed, guaranteeing no risk of leakage, damage, or injury.

"Is it Minghui Lingbao Pavilion again? Another experimental magic artifact?"

However, the experimental artifacts used this time were produced by the Medicine King Sect. Professionals produce professional tools, so their practicality is absolutely unquestionable.

Judging from the results last time, it was about getting a lot done with a little money.

Could it be that finding a bargain is my best option?
