God Eater Sequence: The Devourer

Right now, Qin Siyang and Li Tianming were receiving a lot of attention.

They could no longer rest at [Yucai Kindergarten].

Everyone decided to go to the place Zhao Longfei had arranged.

They all checked into a rather unremarkable hotel.

Looking at the slightly worn-out interior, Qin Siyang asked, "Principal Zhao, doesn't your Zhao family have any luxury hotels?"

"I'm in underground trade, not one of the Three Great Merchant Guilds. What's the use of opening a luxury hotel?"

"It could make you look good, show your status."

"Status isn't about appearances; it's built through battle."

Zhao Longfei patted Qin Siyang's chest, "Kid, when it comes to status, only strength earns you recognition."

"So status isn't about social skills, but about fighting and killing, huh?"

"Now you're getting it."

Qin Siyang then looked at Zhang Kuang.

"Director Zhang, aren't you going back to the kindergarten?"

Zhang Kuang laughed, "I've already submitted my resignation and stepped down. Besides, I smoked quite a bit outside the safe zone these past few days. If I go back smelling like smoke, the parents will complain and deduct my pay."

"Might as well take the shortcut and just not go back."

Qin Siyang walked into the room Zhao Longfei had arranged for him, but he felt a bit uneasy.

So he asked Wu Yu, who was good at detecting and sensing, to check for any surveillance devices or bugs.

After Wu Yu searched the place and confirmed it was safe, Qin Siyang finally relaxed.

He borrowed a Tier 4 cutting tool from Lu Daoxing, expanded his storage box to the size of an ordinary table, then carefully began skinning the Thunder Snow Wolf.

Once the Thunder Snow Wolf's body was properly divided, he gathered everyone and distributed the materials they needed.

Even though they all knew Qin Siyang had killed the Thunder Snow Wolf, seeing its remains with their own eyes still left them in awe.

This kid really had both luck and skill.

Qin Siyang also took some time to meet up with Chang Tianxiang, who had been coordinating operations within the safe zone. He handed him a leftover fragment of Titan Foxtail Grass.

Seeing the red leaf fragment, Chang Tianxiang grinned from ear to ear.

He immediately promised to develop a more reliable navigation system for Qin Siyang.

After collecting their respective materials, everyone met again to discuss the upcoming Crimson Crystal negotiation.

They originally wanted to ask if Qin Siyang had any specific requests.

Qin Siyang said he'd leave it all up to them.

Seeing his carefree attitude, everyone secretly admired him even more.

What they didn't know was that Qin Siyang simply couldn't be bothered to get involved.

Spending energy on a mere egg-sized Crimson Crystal was a complete waste of time.

Qin Siyang then dialed the number left by the Bureau's personnel—Tang Wanjing's number.

It was supposedly for discussing the trade of rare materials.

Beep! Beep! Beel—

A steady male voice came from the other end, ["Hello, who is this?"]

"Minister Tang? This is Qin Siyang. I'm calling to discuss exchanging rare materials for points."

["Qin Siyang?"]

The voice on the other end immediately became warm and enthusiastic.

["Qin Siyang, what materials are you planning to trade?"]

"Fragments of Titan Foxtail Grass inner leaves and the corpse of a Thunder Snow Wolf."

There was a brief silence on the other end.

Then, Tang Wanjing spoke, ["Student Qin, you should know that Titan Foxtail Grass is priced at ten thousand points per leaf. Your fragments aren't worth much."]

["As for the Thunder Snow Wolf's corpse, it's one point per pound. Even adding everything up, it's not worth much. However, since Student Qin is a young talent, I'd like to personally collect them as a gesture of goodwill, to establish a foundation for our future cooperation."]

Qin Siyang chuckled, "Minister Tang, how you price things is your business. Has anyone ever actually exchanged Titan Foxtail Grass for ten thousand points per leaf? And as for the Thunder Snow Wolf's remains being worth just one point per pound, I doubt anyone has ever made a trade like that with you either."

["Student Qin, you're mistaken. Many ability users bring rare materials to the Bureau. My phone is always busy."

"Really? The Bureau staff who gave me this number told me no one ever calls it."

["...That staff member isn't familiar with the Bureau's higher-level operations."]

"Alright, Minister Tang, I understand what you're trying to do. Honestly, you're not being very fair."

Qin Siyang's tone became displeased, "The moment I mentioned trading, you started undervaluing my materials. Minister Tang, I may only be seventeen, but I know this isn't how deals should be made."

["Ah, Student Qin, everything I said is true. Why don't you believe me?"]

"Fine. Since Minister Tang isn't interested in my materials, I won't trade them. I'll just let Principal Zhao handle them for me."

["Wait, wait—"]

Before Tang Wanjing could finish, Qin Siyang hung up.

His face was full of dissatisfaction, "Is it because I'm too young? Why does everyone think they can scam me like I'm an idiot?"

"So lame."

Ding! Ding! Ding—

His phone rang again.

"Hello, Minister Tang, what's up?"

["Student Qin, I was wrong earlier. I apologize for my attitude."]

"Oh. What does Minister Tang want to say now?"

["Let's talk about trading rare materials for points."]

"I thought Minister Tang didn't think my materials were valuable?"

["No, no, no! Student Qin's materials are very precious. Our Bureau is very interested."]

"Alright."

["So, how about you bring the materials to the Bureau, and we can discuss the details there?"]

"No. Minister Tang's Bureau is unfamiliar territory for me. If I bring a bunch of rare materials there, I'm afraid I'd be walking into a trap."

["Come on, do you really think I'd rob you?"]

"Minister Tang, the more eager you are to get me there, the less I trust you."

["Student Qin…"]

"If you really want these materials, meet me in Zone 9. Li Tianming and the others will be holding the Crimson Crystal meeting there soon. You can just attend while you're at it, kill two birds with one stone."

["Student Qin, you're being too cautious. The Bureau is extremely trustworthy, and there's absolutely no risk. I guarantee your safety and the safety of your materials!"]

"Minister Tang, the more you insist, the less I believe you."

["Student Qin…"]

"Either you come to Zone 9, or we don't make the deal."

On the other end, Tang Wanjing sighed, ["Alright, I understand. I'll head there as soon as possible."]

"Alright, I'll wait for your message."

["Goodbye."]

"Goodbye."

After hanging up, Qin Siyang glanced at his storage box.

"I should ask Zhao Longfei for a scale later and weigh what's left of the Thunder Snow Wolf…"

Ding! Ding! Ding—

Just then, his phone rang again.

He looked at the screen. It was an unknown number.
