Chapter 09: How Many Circles You Make Are Useful
Wang Qi smiled and waved goodbye, knowing that his words were already quite modest, for none of the mercenary guild leaders he had encountered possessed a level of ambition or strength that came close to his own; even the strongest among them fell several tiers short of him.
I hope so. At this moment, Wang Qi can only rely on this; otherwise, the situation would be dire, and the problems would be very serious. What exactly is it that drives those who seek to destroy the empire to pursue relentlessly?
... ... Hello ... ... Could you be a bit more humble? How can we bear this situation?
The only thing that pleased the owner of the Traveler's Home was that the graduate from the First Academy, who originally stayed there, left shortly after Wang Qi moved in, and the First Academy still paid the agreed-upon rent. However, seeing Wang Qi's business thriving, the owner truly wished to take on a part-time job as well
Those who seek to destroy the Empire are certainly unaware that the limited number of pursuers makes it difficult for the Empire to adopt a comprehensive strategy in response. As the mercenary guild, which includes graduates from the First Academy carrying information cards, gradually departs, the likelihood of the Empire's pursuers losing their targets increases significantly
Let him be hungry! It's best if that little brat starves! How could the owner of the guesthouse miss the chance to vent his anger?
"Is the Free Mercenary Guild still here?" Wang Qi found it strange to see the short, underprivileged president, who appeared spirited and full of confidence after a few days of absence. That day, the Free Guild had clearly seemed in a hurry, yet they had lingered and not left until now
The escort target of Tiger's Courage is something that the Empire must obtain? The people from the Empire are tightly pursuing Tiger's Courage, leaving you with no chance to escape the city. Now the situation has changed, and Tiger's Courage wants to leverage the strength of the graduates to handle the situation. Is that right? You must not tell me—lest you be followed—that you specifically met with many people from the academy today, and only then came to find me with *Tu* *Shu*... You must not tell me—lest you be followed—that you specifically met with many people from the academy today, and only then came to find me with *Tu* *Shu*...
He asked in confusion, "What’s wrong with that? Even if I haven’t shaken off the Empire’s surveillance, they would think I’m just showing off to an old friend. Besides, even if they guessed it, they wouldn’t be able to know who we, the Tiger Courage, have entrusted the matter to..."
Zhang, who was serving the dishes, opened his mouth but quickly closed it again under Wang Qi's cold glare. After a moment of thought, he lowered his voice and said: "Actually, this is not good for you either. The boss holds a grudge, and next time when cooking, he might have someone add something to the dish, and you would be the one to suffer."
Wang Qi threw the clothes at the short and poor president, expressing his frustration by saying, "How can one not realize such a mark made behind their back?"
"What are you busy with? Look at how few customers there are at this hour. Can the chef still be asleep?" Wang Qi shrugged dismissively and said leisurely, "I knew your boss didn't like me. Tell him that this meal is on him. Otherwise, starting tomorrow, I will tell everyone about the treatment I received here tonight. I don't believe it; with so many mouths helping to promote, it won't affect your business at all"
Take off your clothes
The server could only gaze silently at the boss, who, though somewhat reluctant, chose not to confront the issue over money. "Alright, just take it over," he said.
Having been hungry all day, the feeling of finally having a hearty meal was truly delightful for Wang Qishuang
Wang Qishen smiled lightly, licked his lips, and said softly: "There is no need, because I have realized that I am too strong; these guilds cannot prove my abilities at all"
Upon turning around, I found Wang Qi staring at me with a strange expression. The short, unattractive, and poor president touched his face. "Is there something on my face?"
Wang Qi saw him take out a small black card and knew that this was an encrypted information card, the contents of which could not be discerned.
The short and poor leader said with a bitter smile: "We have no choice. The Tiger Courage has been pursued by the Destruction Empire all the way, and more than half of our members have been killed or captured. The number of pursuers from the Destruction Empire is increasing. The leader estimates that new reinforcements from the Destruction Empire will arrive early tomorrow morning, at which point the disparity in combat power will be even greater, and they are likely to launch a direct attack on us. This is the only option we have left."
Wang Qi snatched the clothes away with irritation, displaying the pattern on the back before him, and asked with a serious expression: "Is the pattern on the back of the clothes originally like this?"

Upon entering the room, the short, unattractive, and impoverished individual glanced around outside the door, looking left and right, up and down for a moment, and then gently closed the door
Thank you! I will also report to the union, thanks to your help. A fellow traveler, carrying luggage, said goodbye. Seeing Wang Qi busy until midnight before he could sit down to eat, he felt both envious and secretly pleased by the exhaustion of this unscrupulous businessman
Unfortunately, he cannot, because after receiving a recommendation from Wang Qi, the success rate of passing the trial is too high, with a success rate of up to 80% on the first attempt and a 100% success rate on the second attempt
Indeed... the short and poor leader glanced at it and casually replied, but before he could finish his sentence, his expression froze! It was not at all what it was supposed to be; the original design featured a circle enclosing a cross, symbolizing courage in the home. Now, however, there was an additional circle in the middle of the cross. "W-what happened?"
"So dark! This guy is clearly not here just to find someone." Before the short, poor president could explain, Wang Qi had already understood the calculations of the Tiger Courage leader. It was evident that a certain number of cards had been prepared, taking advantage of the favorable conditions of having many graduates from the First Academy, allowing the short, poor president to entrust these information cards to acquaintances.
Boss, are you still dragging this out? The waiter looks at Wang Qi at https://m.hetushu.com, and then glances at the owner of the Traveler's Home, feeling a pang of sympathy
Wang Qigen had no strength to speak, lying on the table waiting for the dishes to be served, he waved his hand and pointed to his cracked lips. The other person nodded in understanding. "I know you talk non-stop all day, so I won't say much more." The person waved goodbye, but after taking a few steps, he paused and turned back to say: "I heard from the strongest foodie that you participated in the distant travel trial to prove yourself, but these days you've just been focused on making money, right? Many large guilds have already gathered enough people and withdrawn!"
Chapter Introduction: The striking mark behind him... and he, still confidently soaring, encountered one after another...
Have you never considered whether the people you meet might cause trouble
"Get lost!" Wang Qi shouted in a bad temper. The short and poor president quickly took off his outer garment, saying to himself, "Pants, pants, you do it..."
This is not certain, because if even you think this way, the people from the Destruction Empire will likely consider me one of their key targets after a little investigation. Therefore, in order to ensure that the information card reaches its destination, your leader will probably adopt a more secure method. My card is a fake, serving to attract the attention of the Destruction Empire, while the real hope is placed on the person I am looking for
The short, poor president's face instantly turned pale ... In other words, he had effectively written a label on his back, making it clear to any potential enemies he encountered that 'this person is a target to watch'.
"What the hell! Did you really do that?" Wang Qi's expression of shock left the short, poor president at a loss.
The short, unattractive, and poor individual stared blankly at Wang Qi, hardly able to believe that he had said nothing at all. How did Wang Qi manage to know almost everything?
It's a long story. Let's go to your guest room and talk; it really is about something from hetushucom.com today. The cautious and careful demeanor of the short and poor president made Wang Qi feel uneasy, especially when he saw the pattern on the back of his clothes.
At the inn for farewell, the last scholar was leaving. Wang Qi leaned over the table, tapping it with his chopsticks, urging for the food and drinks to be served quickly
The short and poor leader was momentarily taken aback, and only then did he come to understand. If Wang Qi entrusted the card to someone, that person would undoubtedly be very reliable and would have a better chance than others of delivering the information card to its destination. This made him feel uneasy; when he accepted the task, he had not thought that much about it. He had only secretly admired the captain's strategy, believing that the matter would be easily accomplished.
Most graduates of the Foreign Language Institute do not know Wang Qi's real name, but it does not matter; they all refer to Wang Qi as: Bo Le
I don't know... the short and poor man looked mournful, fearing that Wang Qi wouldn't believe him, hurriedly added: "It's a life-or-death mission. The captain asked me to bring these—"
Here comes the food—" the server shouted hoarsely as they brought the dishes over, apologizing, "I apologize for the wait, the kitchen has been a bit busy today...
Undoubtedly, this is a good method. Aside from the commander of the Tiger Courage Corps himself, no one knows which information card is genuine, and it is even uncertain whether there is a real one at all
Wang Qi ... ... This matter is due to my lack of consideration, and it has implicated you. In case the people who undermine the empire ... ...
The short and poor president furrowed his brows in confusion and couldn't help but ask, "The team leader really appreciates you, so why is it one of the two? If there is really one, it should be the one meant for you, right?"
At this moment, Wang Qi had already connected a series of events: the Free Mercenary Guild accepted a mission and has been stranded at the departure star, eager yet still has not left; in a dim alley, he encountered a member of the royal family from the Destruction Empire, who bore a striking resemblance to Xue Miao; at this moment, the short and impoverished president unexpectedly visited www.... hetushucomcom
As he patted his belly and stood up to go upstairs, a familiar voice suddenly came from the doorway: "Wang Qi!" Turning around, he was surprised to see the short, unattractive, and impoverished president.
"Do you think I would eat again after getting this meal for free?" Wang Qi's smug retort left the waiter speechless, who could only go find the boss...
At that moment, the impatient Wang Qi exclaimed, "If they don't come soon, we won't wait any longer; there are plenty of places to eat!"
"Scared?" The short and poor president said with a twisted expression: "Wang Qi, you are thinking too much—I'm not into that!"
Am I the last one?" Wang Qi asked while holding the information card. The short and impoverished president took out another card and, feeling quite awkward, said: "The team leader's arrangement is for each person I find to receive two cards, allowing them to find another opportunity to pass one of them to someone else. This is the commission fee from Tiger's Courage, 5,000. As long as the information card is delivered to the president of the Mercenary Guild in the South Navigation City of Delai Star, located on the southern border of the Jia Jia Star System, the remaining half can be obtained.
The short and poor president was momentarily taken aback, and then immediately shook his head repeatedly with a look of fear and panic. "Impossible! Everyone has been taken in by the Mercenary Guild, and I went to the inn where their guild members stay. The number of pursuers from the Destruction Empire is limited; they can't even assign one person to guard each individual, so how could that be possible! Moreover, this is a neutral star system! Our neutral star system never participates in the wars of cosmic races, and others cannot initiate wars here! Everyone has been taken in by the Mercenary Guild, and I went to the inn where their guild members stay. The number of pursuers from the Destruction Empire is limited; they can't even assign one person to guard each individual, so how could that be possible! Moreover, this is a neutral star system! Our neutral star system never participates in the wars of cosmic races, and others cannot initiate wars here! There are treaties between the empires!"
Wang Qi snatched the second information card and pondered, saying: "Both cards belong to me; the fewer people involved, the better. If there is a genuine card among these that your leader gave you, it must be one of these two."
Moreover, as individuals from a neutral galaxy, there has never been an awareness of being drawn into large-scale conflicts
