79: Chapter 79 The Newbie Protection Period Has Ended

The Nangong Family primarily deals in the weapons business.

However, their family also owns an auction house.

Initially, their auction house was mainly used to auction off the premium weapons and divine weapons produced by their own family.

But slowly, they also began to accept some commissioned auctions.

However, to maintain the prestige of the auction house, they only accept commissions for rare items.

The Nangong Family is one of the Five Great Families in the Inner City and possesses extensive connections.

Every auction manages to invite influential guests.

Therefore, any rare item sent to the auction house can fetch a good price.

Gradually, the Nangong Family discovered that the profits from auctioning these rare items were also quite substantial.

Thus, they began to actively seek out rare items as auction lots.

Developing to this point, the Nangong Family holds an auction every month, and the auction items are all premium goods.

Therefore, invitations to the auction have become highly sought-after items.

"Young Miss, that Young Master Chen has just become a Vice Gang Leader. Even if you invite him to attend the auction, I'm afraid that even if he encounters an item he likes, he wouldn't have the financial resources to afford it!" Maid said hesitantly.

"I told you to go and deliver it, so just go. Why are you spouting so much nonsense!" Nangong Hongyan frowned slightly, her tone turning cold.

"I'm sorry, Young Miss. This servant has overstepped!"

Seeing Nangong Hongyan's dissatisfaction, Maid immediately admitted her mistake.

"Go!"

Nangong Hongyan waved her hand.

Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was three in the afternoon.

Sun Lingyue, who had been staking out in the attic of a residential house, already had an impatient look on her face: "Hey, Chen Hu, is the information you received actually accurate? We've been waiting for so long, why haven't the people from the Blood Fiend Sect appeared yet?"

"Junior Sister, matters like staking out require patience!" Chen Wu advised.

"They're here!"

At this moment, Chen Hu said.

"Where?"

Sun Lingyue excitedly leaned toward the small window and looked down.

"Do you see that middle-aged beggar?"

Chen Hu signaled for Sun Lingyue to observe the middle-aged beggar who had just appeared nearby.

"This beggar is a scout from the Blood Fiend Sect?" Sun Lingyue asked tentatively.

"Nine times out of ten!"

Chen Hu nodded: "How could a real beggar be as ruddy-faced as him? Look at his clothes again; although they look tattered and have many patches, they are relatively clean. Also, look closely at his hands—aren't they quite clean as well?"

"That's true!"

Chen Wu nodded in agreement: "This person definitely has issues; he is certainly not a real beggar."

In reality, being able to discover the other party was mainly because Chen Hu had cheated.

For everyone who appeared nearby, he would use a copy card to probe them.

This middle-aged beggar possessed the cultivation of the Late Skin Refining Stage, and furthermore, he was Cultivating the Blood Fiend Art.

Chen Hu immediately concluded that he was a scout for the Blood Fiend Sect.

"Since he has issues, let's go and catch him now to interrogate him!" Sun Lingyue said impatiently, then headed down from the attic.

"Junior Sister, don't be impulsive!"

Chen Wu called out, feeling somewhat helpless at the sight.

Originally, he had planned to secretly follow this Blood Fiend Sect scout for a while to see if he could find the Blood Fiend Sect's stronghold, but he hadn't expected his Junior Sister to be so impulsive.

In reality, he didn't know that it was mainly because Sun Lingyue was eager to achieve merit.

Worried that something might happen to Sun Lingyue, Chen Wu hurriedly chased after her.

As for Chen Hu, he unhurriedly went down from the attic and walked out of the residential house.

It must be said that Sun Lingyue, eager for merit, was very anxious.

At this moment, she had already taken down the middle-aged beggar.

"Senior Brother, bring him into the house, let's interrogate him quickly!"

Sun Lingyue, with an excited expression, said to the arriving Chen Wu.

"Alright!"

Chen Wu reached out and grabbed the middle-aged beggar's shoulder, carrying him toward the residential house.

"Speak, where is your Blood Fiend Sect stronghold?" Sun Lingyue kicked the middle-aged beggar and demanded sternly.

"Junior Sister, interrogating him like this is useless!"

Chen Wu shook his head upon seeing this.

But just at this moment.

The middle-aged beggar spoke up: "Our stronghold is at No. 72, Yushui Street, Qingyuan Ward."

Sun Lingyue looked at Chen Wu triumphantly.

Then she continued to press: "How many members are in your stronghold, and who is the strongest?"

The middle-aged beggar replied: "There are seven people in our stronghold, including me. The strongest is called Han Tie, and his cultivation has already reached the Meat Refining Stage."

"How long have you been in Linjiang Prefecture, and how many crimes have you committed?"

Sun Lingyue continued to ask.

The middle-aged beggar continued to confess truthfully.

Seeing this scene, Chen Wu couldn't help but doubt his life. After joining the Zhenwu Division, he had participated in several interrogations.

But the mouths of those criminals were always very tight.

Even if they were subjected to continuous torture, they wouldn't easily confess, and even if they did, they basically wouldn't confess completely.

Unlike the beggar his Junior Sister had caught, who answered whatever was asked.

Was this guy really a thug from the Blood Fiend Sect?

He was very skeptical about this.

In reality, he didn't know that the reason this middle-aged beggar answered everything asked was because Chen Hu had used a Truth Card on him.

Very quickly, the middle-aged beggar finished his confession.

Sun Lingyue said excitedly: "Senior Brother, let's go back and mobilize people now to take down that Blood Fiend Sect stronghold, how about it?"

"That works. I'll go find a carriage and take this guy back to the Zhenwu Division!"

Chen Wu said in a deep voice.

They certainly couldn't openly take this guy back to the Zhenwu Division; if his accomplices discovered them, it would be a huge loss.

After Chen Wu went to find a carriage.

Sun Lingyue said to Chen Hu: "Chen Hu, this time it's all thanks to you. Rest assured, after we take down the Blood Fiend Sect's stronghold, I'll treat you to a meal!"

"Alright, I'll wait for you to treat me to a meal!"

Before long.

Chen Wu found a carriage and arrived at the entrance of the residential house. After picking up the middle-aged beggar and stuffing him into the carriage, he bid farewell to Chen Hu and drove off.

As for Chen Hu, he went directly to the large compound.

He called the children outside into the large compound.

After going through the process, the number of his underlings increased by another 15.

Bringing the number of his underlings to exactly 750.

He obtained two Elementary draws.

Subsequently, Chen Hu called over the manager.

He told him to find craftsmen to build large bunk beds in another large compound.

And to scout for a few middle-aged women who knew how to cook.

Once that compound was renovated and the children started living there, he would have these women go over to take care of the children and cook.

"System, use two Elementary draws!"

"Ding, draw initiated!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Fruit Card. The prize has been issued to the System space, please claim it yourself!"

"Ding, congratulations to the host for obtaining one Snack Card. The prize has been issued to the System space, please claim it yourself!"

Hearing the System's notification, Chen Hu frowned slightly.

The rewards drawn this time seemed a bit too inferior.

Taking out the two cards, the corresponding functional information appeared in his mind.

Fruit Card: Can randomly produce 100 jin of fruit every day.

Snack Card: Can randomly produce one box of snacks every day.

Putting away the cards, Chen Hu left the large compound.

Before long.

He arrived at his office in the gang's General Hall.

He took out the Fruit Card and activated it.

It produced one hundred jin of apples.

Then he activated the Snack Card, which produced five boxes of melon seeds.

"System, you are really becoming more and more perfunctory!" Chen Hu complained inwardly.

"Ding, the Newbie Protection Period has expired; the chance of drawing special cards has greatly decreased!"

"So that's how it is!"

Hearing the System's answer, Chen Hu understood the reason.
