57: It's time to go home and visit.

Lu Fan furrowed his brows and took out the contract, only to find that Sheng Aiyi's seal was missing.

"Eldest Miss, you're playing mind games with me!"

"You were the one who started it." Tang Li unhurriedly took out the seal from her bag.

"I knew you'd act like a Rogue. Look, what's this?"

Lu Fan finally witnessed Second Miss Tang's methods.

He picked up a pen and signed his name on the contract, then reached out his hand and stared intently at Tang Li.

"Tsk, who are you trying to scare?" Unfazed, Tang Li set down the seal and looked Lu Fan straight in the eye. "If you want the seal, answer my question.

You've thrown out millions of silver dollars; what's your angle? Speak!"

"No angle. I'm just a fool with too much money and nothing better to do with it."

Lu Fan blew out a smoke ring and sized Tang Li up. "If every donation brings the great Reporter Tang to my doorstep...

...to chat and drink coffee with me, then I know what I'm after."

He winked at Tang Li, playfully making eyes at her.

Tang Li's face flushed. "Be serious. Did this money just blow in with the wind? You're donating it so readily?"

Lu Fan was amused. Tang Li had actually guessed right; his money was no different from being blown in by the wind.

He set down his cup and suddenly leaned forward. "Miss Tang, come closer. I'll tell you a secret..."

Tang Li subconsciously held her breath and leaned in slightly.

Lu Fan lowered his voice and said mysteriously, "Actually, this money really was brought in by the wind.

A few days ago, an easterly wind blew in, bringing me countless treasures from the Japan nation.

Since it was a windfall, I decided to donate it."

While he was talking serious-sounding nonsense that was half-true, the seal had already quietly fallen into Lu Fan's hand.

"Tsk~ do you think I'm a three-year-old child?" Tang Li rolled her eyes upon hearing this.

She didn't notice at all that the seal was already in his possession.

Lu Fan's gaze swept over her, and he teased, "Maybe not three, but these 'Little Prince' milk boxes don't look much bigger than that."

"Rogue~~~"

As a wordsmith, Tang Li reacted quite quickly. After a moment's thought and noticing where Lu Fan's gaze had lingered...

...she immediately understood. She hurriedly pulled her coat tight to hide her targets.

Unconsciously, her face had turned as red as a ripe apple, and even the tips of her ears were flushed pink.

While she was taking defensive measures, Lu Fan had already stamped the contract.

Seeing this, she stood up huffily and accused him, "You cheated~~"

"Alright, alright, I admit I'm a Rogue."

Hearing the system notification in his mind, Lu Fan smilingly placed the seal back in front of Tang Li with his left hand.

With a flick of his right hand, a phone appeared, and a fitting song, 'Rogue,' began to play.

The opening piano chords immediately captured Tang Li's attention.

Then, a lazy voice sang out: "I occasionally get drunk,"

"I love freedom very much,"

"I often make mistakes and love to lie,"

"But I always feel guilty,"

"I've met many bad friends,"

"And learned to love the new and loathe the old,"

"I also owe many women..."

In the study, neither of them spoke, listening to the music in a tacit understanding.

This damn Cantonese was just so charming.

Even if one couldn't understand it or learn it, one still loved to listen to it.

Tang Li was quickly hard-controlled by the song, closing her eyes and immersing herself in it, unable to pull away.

Taking advantage of this gap, Lu Fan closed his eyes and opened the system.

[Main Quest 1, Completed. Reward: 20,000 Points, one Random Equipment Card]

[Quest Completion 300%, Evaluation: SS, Reward: 60,000 Points. One Random Enhancement Potion Card, one Random Gem Card, one Random Manufacturing Blueprint Card]

90,000 Points and four random cards—a huge haul~~

This one quest alone provided 90,000 Points; it would only take three or four more trips to gather the 240,000 Points he needed.

Once he reached the next level, he would be able to buy one cubic meter of Space Expansion Runes in the mall every day.

Then the speed of space expansion would go into the fast lane.

At that time, why would he even need trade? He could just open the gates to modern society and dump goods openly.

japanese, Hans Cat, John Bull, Gaul Chicken... none of them would be a problem.

Even Eagle-chan and Big Bear would have to stand at attention for me.

As expected, a high completion rate is the only way to truly fleece the system.

So what was he waiting for? Open them, open them all.

[Elementary Bionic Combat Eyeball: Restores vision and improves vision-related combat abilities]

[A set of Elementary Body Enhancement Potions: Strengthens the body; one bottle each for Speed, Strength, Endurance, Spirit, Intelligence, and Recovery]

[Starshine Stone: Increases production line capacity and reduces energy consumption]

[7.62mm Bullet Production Line Design Blueprint]

Worth it, totally worth it.

That one set of enhancement potions alone cost 100,000 Points in the system mall.

What was even more worth looking forward to was that 7.62mm Bullet Production Line Design Blueprint.

This thing was a genuine treasure.

In wartime, guns and cannons are easy to come by, but bullets are hard to find.

After all, these things are consumables, and the demand is astronomical.

Imagine this production line set up, with the assistance of the Starshine Stone—bullets would be churned out rapidly.

He refused to believe that with sufficient ammunition, our country's soldiers would still lose to those stubby, mule-like japanese.

[Ding~~~ Main quest completed. Return channel opened. Return countdown begins: 24:59...]

The system notification came, pulling Lu Fan's thoughts away from the rewards he had obtained.

He counted on his fingers; he had already stayed in this world for over three days this time.

Without realizing it, the time limit he had originally agreed upon with Liu Zhicheng had already passed.

With modern society and that pile of troubles waiting, Lu Fan took a deep breath; it was time to go back.

He composed himself, turned off the music, and finished the coffee in his cup. "Second Miss Tang, it's getting late."

Faced with the abrupt end of the music and the request for her to leave...

Tang Li held out her hand and demanded bluntly, "Give me the thing, and I'll leave immediately."

"What thing? Do you want me?"

Lu Fan pretended to put the phone in his pocket with a flick of his hand, but actually stored it in his space immediately.

You want the phone? In your dreams.

This is a tri-fold; I only just got it myself.

Being rejected, Tang Li puffed out her cheeks and shouted huffily, "Bad man! You pull up your pants and forget who I am!"

Lu Fan didn't care at all and stood up as if nothing had happened.

Facing the accusation, he seriously checked his belt and zipper.

"Rogue~~~ Scoundrel! That's not what I meant!"

Tang Li completely broke down at the sight, her face turning red as she ran out.

Little girl, as if I can't handle you~~

Lu Fan stood up and went to the door, waving over Zhao Chengqiang. "It's chaotic outside. Escort Second Miss Tang and make sure she gets home safely."

"Understood~~"

Zhao Chengqiang turned around nimbly and went to carry out the assigned task.

Returning to the room, Lu Fan began to organize his things methodically. It was time to go home and see.
