Chapter 53
Emergency Request for Rescue
Sitting on the sofa, Lin Xiao quickly tapped the game interface and went straight to the backpack section.
Looking at the Qi Gathering Pill, hundreds of spirit stones, and the green steel longsword lying quietly inside, Lin Xiao's eyes almost lit up.
This is all real money; it just needs to be withdrawn and sold.
He will never have to worry about money again.
Taking a deep breath, Lin Xiao forced herself to calm down and not act impulsively.
Staring at the three treasures in the backpack, he tapped the screen lightly with his finger and began to weigh them quickly.
"I currently have 105225 yuan in my account, enough to withdraw anything, or even several things. But I need to carefully calculate which one is the most cost-effective to withdraw first, and which one is the easiest to sell for cash."
He first opened the Qi Gathering Pill and confirmed the extraction fee again: 8888 yuan per pill, and if he extracted all three, it would cost 26664 yuan.
Qi Gathering Pill is a medicinal pill, but although Qin Yanan collects treasures, she may not need or believe in medicinal pills.
And he didn't know who else would buy it besides her.
If we can't sell them, wouldn't we have wasted the extraction fee?
Moreover, he vaguely remembered Lin Qishuang saying that the Qi Gathering Pill was an introductory pill for cultivation, which could help cultivators condense spiritual energy and stabilize their realm.
This is actually useful to him now.
Although he hasn't officially embarked on cultivation yet, he'll definitely find it useful in the future.
"If I extract it now and sell it, I'll have to figure out how to get it again if I want to cultivate in the future. It's too troublesome."
With this in mind, Lin Xiao temporarily abandoned the idea of retrieving the Qi Gathering Pill first.
Shaking his head slightly, Lin Xiao looked at the spirit stone again.
The system indicates that the withdrawal fee for a single spirit stone is 100 yuan, and a minimum withdrawal quantity of 100 spirit stones is required.
In other words, each extraction costs at least 10000 yuan and yields 100 spirit stones.
"There are quite a few spirit stones. Extracting all 100 would only cost 10000, which seems like a good deal. But besides myself, I don't know if spirit stones are useful in the real world?"
Lin Xiao rubbed his chin, continuing to ponder.
My immediate priority is to pay back the 10 yuan that Qin Yanan borrowed from me, and maybe earn some more money along the way.
Therefore, we need to find a treasure that can be sold for a good price in one go and is easy to resell.
With that thought, his gaze fell on the long steel sword.
The longsword gleamed with a faint blue light, and even just inside the game inventory, its sharpness was evident.
"The Qinggang Longsword has an extraction fee of 10000 yuan, which is just within my budget. Moreover, it is a magic weapon with a grand design and a substantial weight in the hand. Qin Yanan will definitely be interested in it."
More importantly, even if Qin Yanan doesn't want the longsword, he can find other ways to sell it.
For example, it would be easier to sell to an antique shop or to people who like to collect cold weapons than to sell elixirs and spirit stones.
Qin Yanan gave herself 10,000 yuan for that broken jade pendant last time.
Now, this steel longsword looks much more exquisite than the jade pendant.
If it were sold, it would surely fetch a good price.
The more Lin Xiao thought about it, the more he felt that retrieving the Qinggang Longsword first was the safest and most cost-effective option.
"It's settled then! We'll retrieve the Azure Steel Longsword first, sell it to pay back Qin Yanan, and then slowly consider retrieving the Qi Gathering Pills and spirit stones with the remaining money!"
Having made up his mind, Lin Xiao didn't hesitate any longer and clicked the "Extract" button directly.
My eyes were glued to the screen, and my heart skipped a beat.
[Ding: Extracting the magical artifact (Azure Steel Longsword) requires a 10000 yuan extraction fee. Do you wish to extract it?!]
"Confirm!" Lin Xiao quickly tapped "Confirm," afraid that this damn game might cause some trouble again, or suddenly raise the price.
[Ding: Extraction successful. The Azure Steel Longsword is a magical artifact. It will take one day to break through the barrier.]
Current remaining extraction time: 23 hours, 59 minutes, and 59 seconds!
"Good, very good! Just as I expected!"
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly. He was much more used to this sudden change this time.
After a morning of running around, Lin Xiao was also a little tired.
After ordering some takeout and eating, Lin Xiao continued to lie on the sofa, looking at his phone and resting.
Not long after, Lin Xiao fell into a deep sleep.
For so long, every night after he went to sleep, he would dream of entering another world.
After a long time, he also became somewhat tired.
But things just kept piling up, one after another, so he never really had time to rest.
Now that everything is ready, he can finally take a short rest.
……
While Lin Xiao was asleep, Qin Yanan suddenly received an urgent request for assistance.
After putting down her phone, Qin Yanan couldn't help but frown.
Li Yunchuan is in trouble.
This guy is the second best in headquarters, second only to Captain Long in combat ability.
Now, it's sending itself a distress signal.
Although they didn't directly ask for help, it was enough to illustrate the seriousness of the situation.
Previously, in order to prevent Li Yunchuan from disturbing Lin Xiao, he had let him complete his own task first.
Unexpectedly, Li Yunchuan is now forced to ask for help by the evil spirit.
Thinking of this, Qin Yanan did not hesitate for a moment and got up to start packing her things.
She took off her red pajamas and changed into a black outfit that accentuated her tall and slender figure.
In an instant, she shed her usual wildness and gentleness, exuding a cold aura.
This is her true nature as the person in charge in Shanghai: calm, decisive, and with an inherent air of ruthlessness.
After thinking for a moment, for some reason, Qin Yanan still walked to the desk as if possessed.
I opened the drawer and carefully took out a brocade box.
Upon opening it, one finds the three Thunder Talismans that Lin Xiao had mortgaged to her.
As Qin Yanan gently traced the patterns on the runes with her fingertips, a hint of seriousness flashed in her eyes.
"The rune I submitted before has been studied by headquarters for a long time, but they haven't been able to decipher its mysteries. It's just that it's said to contain powerful lightning energy. Hopefully, it will come in handy this time."
She had heard about Li Yunchuan's mission.
The target of the mission is an A-level evil spirit, which is extremely cunning and powerful. Two members of the organization have already gone missing.
I thought Li Yunchuan was strong enough to handle it, but unexpectedly, something still happened.
Qin Yanan carefully put the brocade box away, then picked up the black short gun and communicator beside her, checked their batteries, and then leaped down from the second floor in a flash.
In the past, she would usually go out on missions at night.
This was the first time we'd carried out a mission during the day.
Subconsciously, I turned around and glanced at the tightly closed door on the first floor.
Qin Yanan thought about it for a long time, but in the end she still didn't ask Lin Xiao for help.
Even though this situation is somewhat special, she doesn't want to be looked down upon!
She walked lightly out of the courtyard and started the black SUV parked outside.
The SUV sped out of the suburban courtyard like an arrow, heading rapidly toward the location located on the phone.
