I Get A Random New Occupation Every Week

Chapter 2725: Chapter 2726: Ominous News

About an hour later, the group returned to the sub-bureau.

The arrest work was completed, and what remained was the interrogation, which would be relatively easier.

Lin Yi didn’t plan to stay here. After notifying Zhu Junchi, he headed back to Zhong Hai on his own.

On the way back, his mind was occupied with matters of the pills.

The problem now facing him was the Alchemy Furnace.

There seemed to be very few of these for sale on the market, but there were two ways to get one.

The Shangqing Palace had an idle Alchemy Furnace that could be used.

Alternatively, he could have someone make one. In any case, the problem wasn’t too big.

The biggest problem was how to sell thirty pills for one hundred million.

Thinking of this, Lin Yi inwardly cursed the ancestors of the system’s eighteen generations.

About two hours later, Lin Yi arrived home.

Ji Qingyan was outside with the child, basking in the sun.

“Have you handled everything?” Ji Qingyan asked.

Lin Yi nodded, “We’ve caught everyone. All that’s left is the interrogation, so I came back early.”

“What about the project matter? How do you plan to handle it?”

“This was premeditated, and it’s kind of my arch-enemy.” Lin Yi picked up the child and said:

“I’ve already asked someone to gather evidence against them. We just need to find a channel to expose it later.”

Ji Qingyan pondered, “But using this method, you probably can’t completely defeat them.”

Ji Qingyan thought that anyone who could become Lin Yi’s arch-enemy must not be a simple character.

After all, people like Qi Daodong were just the executioners on the surface.

“Of course not, but don’t underestimate the power of public opinion. As long as it can cause negative impact, it’s enough.”

“I understand your meaning, boiling water and green frogs.”

“They say that as two people spend more time together, the more they become alike. Your cleverness is becoming more like mine.” Lin Yi said with a laugh.

“Hmph, I was always smarter than you.” Ji Qingyan said proudly, puffing out her chest.

In the following days, Lin Yi stayed in Zhong Hai and had no plans to visit Shangqing Palace.

Because this task wasn’t related to location, as long as he made the pills and then sold them, it would be fine.

The most reasonable places to sell were Zhong Hai and Yanjing, since the rich people in these two places were the easiest to deceive.

After planning the sales locations, Lin Yi started inventorying the materials needed to make the pills.

There were over eighty different items, and over ten kinds of herbs were extremely precious.

Even though the amount needed wasn’t much, they were hard to find on the market.

Lin Yi calculated that to sell thirty pills for one hundred million, on average, each pill needed to sell for 3.33 million to complete the task.

But the cost of the materials might already be 50,000 per pill, which could be said to be astronomical.

Considering that pharmaceuticals are a high-profit industry, selling for 3.33 million isn’t too unreasonable.

But the problem arises here, how to sell these items is the main point.

If it were him, seeing a pill sold for 3.33 million, he’d definitely think the person was crazy.

But since the system task had been issued, he had to push forward.

After calculating the costs, Lin Yi dialed Zhang Youfu’s number.

“Junior brother, it’s been a long time, and I miss you greatly.”

“Between us, let’s not talk about such trivial things.” Lin Yi said:

“I need an Alchemy Furnace. Can you help me get one?”

“An Alchemy Furnace?” Zhang Youfu replied, surprised:

“Don’t tell me you’re going to practice alchemy.”

“I have that idea, planning to give it a try.”

“I really don’t have one.” Zhang Youfu said:

“But I have connections in this area, so I can help you get one. It might be a bit pricey.”

“How much for one?”

“50,000, since we’re family, I’ll just charge you that much.”

“Okay, when can it be delivered?”

“When will the money be transferred?”

“Damn it, do you believe that I won’t go back right now and carry away the furnace from the Three Pure Ones Hall?”

“No, no, junior brother, calm down.” Zhang Youfu chuckled:

“I’ll show you the goods. Send me a video call, but use QQ video, not WeChat.”

“Huh? Is there a difference?”

“Yes, QQ video has a beauty filter, but WeChat doesn’t.”

“I don’t have QQ.”

Lin Yi hung up the phone and sent a video to Zhang Youfu.

When the video connected, he found Zhang Youfu in the warehouse of Shangqing Palace, with several Alchemy Furnaces inside.

“Didn’t you say Shangqing Palace didn’t have any and you had to contact channels to buy one?”

“Yeah, I personally don’t have any, but I have a connection with Shangqing Palace. Selling you one for 50,000, not expensive at all.”

“You’re ripping me off for so much money, and you’re still charging for an Alchemy Furnace. Hurry up and send it over, stop dawdling.”

After speaking, Lin Yi hung up the phone and sent the address to Zhang Youfu, prepared to ship it to Jiuzhou Pavilion.

Nobody lived there now, so handling these things was just right.

After arranging everything, Lin Yi felt much more relaxed.

The most important task every day was enjoying family time with Ji Qingyan.

“You’ve been a Daoist priest for quite a while now, what do you want to do next?”

While basking in the sun with the child, Ji Qingyan asked.

“I think being a firefighter seems interesting.”

“A firefighter?” Ji Qingyan said:

“Isn’t that quite dangerous?”

“Don’t worry, it’s not as dangerous as being a police officer.” Lin Yi said:

“Besides, with my skills, even if there’s danger, it won’t hit me.”

“That’s true.”

Ji Qingyan didn’t say much about Lin Yi wanting to be a firefighter. After all, he’s always been like this.

After being a Daoist priest, becoming a firefighter wasn’t a big deal.

“Lin Bro.”

While they were chatting, a voice came from the courtyard entrance. It was Xiao Bing.

And it wasn’t just her; the entire group came along.

Seeing them, Lin Yi had a premonition that it might be a mission coming up.

Otherwise, these people wouldn’t all come together.

“Come, come in quickly.”

Seeing Lin Yi’s colleagues, Ji Qingyan invited them in warmly.

“Little baby, come, let Auntie hold you.”

Luo Qi stepped forward and picked up Little Nuonuo.

Yu Siying and Xiao Bing also smiled, teasing the child with Luo Qi.

But their expressions weren’t natural and were somewhat stiff.

Lin Yi glanced at Sui Qiang and others, noticing they just watched the child without even a hint of a smile.

“Help me cut some fruit.” Lin Yi said with a smile.

Ji Qingyan nodded, “You guys carry on.”

With a good sense, Luo Qi handed the child to Ji Qingyan, letting her carry him back inside.

“Is it the island mission?” Lin Yi asked:

“Why do you all look like this, as if someone has died.”

Xiao Bing looked at Yu Siying, almost having ‘conflicted’ written on her face.

“What are you dithering about?”

Instinctively, Lin Yi sensed trouble.

They had gone to the island before, and even if there was a new mission, their expressions shouldn’t be like this.

After all, for the Central Guards Brigade, these tasks were child’s play.

“Boss, we got a video this morning and came to find you right after.”

Xiao Bing showed her phone and found that video.

Lin Yi’s expression grew suspicious as he took the phone.

When he saw the content, Lin Yi’s face turned pale.

He staggered and leaned toward Xiao Bing, almost fainting.
