Let them offer their loyalty!

Qiu Tu had a rather fruitful period recently.

And his gains mainly came from three sources.

The first source of gain was the "fixed harvest." Read latest stories on empire

Since the second Golden Finger "Loyalty Game" was activated, Qiu Tu had a steady source of gains.

During this time, through the two mini-games of the "Loyalty Game," Qiu Tu also obtained quite a few good items.

Especially the "Salvage Game."

This game allowed Qiu Tu to obtain Cataclysmic Material, Cataclysmic treasures, or Cataclysmic Creatures that exist in reality.

The only limitation was that the loyalty of his subordinates had to be above 90, and it could only be played once every seven days.

Therefore, in the past few days, Qiu Tu had only Ah-Tai, Eagle, Ah-Kun, Ah-Xiong, and Liu Fuping play this game.

Ah-Tai salvaged a Cataclysmic treasure called the "Mandragora Love Drug," Eagle salvaged the "Seal of ownership," and Ah-Kun salvaged the "Silver Key Beehive."

As for the rewards Ah-Xiong and Liu Fuping salvaged, they were a bit different.

Ah-Xiong brought up Cataclysmic Material called "Nameless Stele Powder."

'Nameless Stele Powder: One of the key Cataclysm Materials. Just match it with other materials, and you can create Cataclysmic treasures like the "Skull Talisman" or "Old Seal"...'

As for the Cataclysmic Material Liu Fuping brought up, it was even more special.

'Overflowing Cataclysmic's Spiritual entity: One of the very special Cataclysm Materials. It contains the power source of a Cataclysmic.

'If you integrate it into the Cataclysmic Awakening Potion, the success rate of awakening will get infinitely close to 100%. However... it can only awaken the path and abilities of this particular Cataclysmic's Spiritual entity.'

'Note: the path this Cataclysmic's Spiritual entity follows is "Mystery", and the Cataclysmic ability it possesses is "Shadow Walking".'

Besides the "Salvage Game," in the past few days of the "Combat Game," Qiu Tu still chose to fight against Wang Xi. Unfortunately, Wang Xi evolved rapidly during this period, and his subordinates sent to fight against Wang Xi could only claim some wins and some losses.

So, he only got two small Memory fragments.

The first one, Qiu Tu had already seen, which was the scene where the Masked Man in Suit slaughtered that wealthy businessman.

The second one was the Memory fragment that Ah-Tai won by fighting desperately last night.

Qiu Tu kept it for now, planning to check it when he had time today.

Besides "fixed harvest,"

Qiu Tu's second source of gains was the "Countdown rewards."

The resolution of Yin Caimei's case turned all three of Qiu Tu's countdown hourglasses into Treasure Chests.

The first was the one-minute timed countdown when Jia Shu suspected him. (Chapter 110)

The second was "Danger in the Dark."

The third, of course, was "Yin Caimei's case closure time."

Because Qiu Tu had been busy earlier, he didn't have time to check these three hourglasses.

This time, taking the opportunity when he had a moment, he started to investigate the rewards for these three Crisis Countdowns.

The reward for the first Crisis Countdown was named "Defying Fate Scales," which, as described, is a precious Cataclysmic Material shed from a High Order catastrophized creature.

Qiu Tu remembered seeing this material on the potion formula of the Masked Man in Suit as well...

The second and third Crisis Countdowns, perhaps because they were more difficult, had considerably richer rewards—two Cataclysmic treasures.

One was called "Uncompromising Simulacrum," and the other was "Ghostly Map"...

Apart from the substantial rewards provided by the two Golden Fingers, Qiu Tu's third source of gains came from the Cataclysmic he had killed.

From Old Master Qin, Qiu Tu had already learned that the Cataclysmic's name was Lone Wolf, a killer with Cataclysmic ability.

More importantly, Qiu Tu found three items on Lone Wolf's body.

A dagger, a slightly odd small box, and a coin that looked a bit antiquated.

The dagger, according to Old Master Qin, was an ordinary object, simply sharper than usual, capable of cutting through iron like mud.

But the small box and the coin each had their own stories.

According to Old Master Qin, inside the small box was a Cataclysmic Creature called "Heart-Connecting Silkworm."

It's a creature similar in appearance to a silkworm with the ability to spin silk.

But the silk it spins is not suited for making clothes; instead, it can be placed within the heart of any living being within 10 meters, establishing a psychic link.

The two people who establish this link can converse in their minds without making a sound.

Lone Wolf was able to communicate secretly with Old Master Qin by using the silk spun by this Cataclysmic Creature.

As for the coin, according to Old Master Qin, he wasn't sure of its purpose.

But... Lone Wolf obtained that coin after his first interaction with 'Larilo.'

Supposedly, as long as he had this coin, Lone Wolf could be under Larilo's divine protection.

Old Master Qin actually tried several times to get this coin from Lone Wolf but was afraid of angering the deity, so he had to give up the idea.

As it turned out, after all the twists and turns, the coin ended up in Qiu Tu's hands.

Beyond the collection of Cataclysmic Material, Cataclysmic treasures, and Cataclysmic Creatures, Qiu Tu still had many promises and resources from Qin Shuman that he hadn't had the chance to exchange yet.

These included money, talent, intelligence, and more.

And more importantly, as Qiu Tu advanced in his position, it seemed his Cataclysmic ability... also improved?

It was just that since he had been busy since last night up until now, he hadn't had the time to comprehend and thus was temporarily unaware of the changes...

One could say... that the Yin Caimei case had made Qiu Tu utterly wealthy! He had completed his initial capital accumulation!

'Indeed... if you want to get rich quick, you have to bite off more than you can chew!' he thought.

While thinking this, Qiu Tu also quietly tucked away all the gains he had made during this time.

Then he crossed his hands behind his head, contentedly lay on the bed, and took another rest.

Once his mood had settled, Qiu Tu, smelling the lingering scent of Liu Fuping beside him, suddenly felt his interest piqued.

So, he got out of bed, went to the bathroom shaking it off, and pressed Liu Fuping, who was squatting and brushing her teeth, onto the washbasin, and went "up and down" a few more times...

In this manner, time passed until dawn.

Qiu Tu finally spared her amidst the pleas of Liu Fuping...

and took her along to the Investigation Bureau Office Building.

Qiu Tu did a simple induction at the Action Division, then proactively met with the chief and deputy chief of the division to get acquainted.

Since they all knew that Qiu Tu was only on secondment at the Action Division and had no direct conflicts of interest, the meeting was very pleasant.

After all this, Qiu Tu left the Political Department and headed to the Public Security Bureau on the second floor, ready to take over the investigation team for the "8.16 Pharmacy Robbery Case."

Public Security Bureau, as one of the largest departments of the Investigation Bureau, could only be said to have an average status, which was evident from the fact that they were only situated on the second floor of the office building.

The main function of the Public Security Bureau was to fund and manage the public security offices of the various streets. Thus, maintaining public security and dealing with trivial matters were their primary duties.

But... this also meant that they were somewhat at a loss when it came to major cases.

Therefore, Cui Daren, the chief of the Xiafang Street Public Security Bureau, was right; the entire investigative team for the "8.16 Pharmacy Robbery Case" was looking forward to Qiu Tu's arrival.

This allowed Qiu Tu to fit in without any issues after joining the investigative team.

Also, because Qiu Tu was now seen as the savior of the Public Security Bureau, he smoothly filed an application to bring Liu Fuping, Song Qing, Wang Xi, and the two groups of confidants Cao Dabiao and Chen Feng from the Action Division and the Interrogation Section...

With this, the investigation team for the "8.16 Pharmacy Robbery Case" was officially established...

...

Meanwhile, just as Qiu Tu finished tallying his gains and was eagerly preparing for a big showdown,

At the military's Security Department Investigation Department,

Lin Zuo was also on the phone with someone.

"What did you say? You've found the target?"

Lin Zuo asked coldly, "Are you sure you're not mistaken? Is it a black suit, red hair, and wearing a mask?"

Hearing Lin Zuo's question, the man on the other end of the phone dragged out his voice, sounding sly, "Boss, we might dare to deceive the Investigation Bureau, but we'd never dare to lie to the military~~!"

"You guys would actually dare to shoot us dead~~"

"And, I, Fatty Fish, am also a person of some standing in Xinjie City, why would I give you false information!"

"I know it seems a bit coincidental, but... it really just happened like that~~"

"The person you're looking for has been frequenting our bar these days. Red hair, black suit. Such a conspicuous outfit, how could we not recognize him!"

Hearing Fatty Fish's words, Lin Zuo said expressionlessly, "Alright."

"Then keep a close watch on him! Don't let him get away! I'm going to report to the higher-ups right now!"

After saying that, Lin Zuo hung up the phone and walked toward Qin Shuman's office.

Arriving at Qin Shuman's office door, Lin Zuo knocked, and Qin Shuman's stern voice immediately followed, "Come in!"

Lin Zuo pushed the door open, and Qin Shuman inside was seriously looking through some documents.

Seeing Lin Zuo enter, Qin Shuman looked up at him and asked, "What's happened?"

Lin Zuo stood up straight and then replied, "Section Chief, the target that Qiu Tu asked us to help find a few days ago has been located!"

"Our informer from the Fatty Fish Bar, Fatty Fish, says that the man with the red hair and the black suit has been frequenting his bar in the past few days, leaving with one or two women each time."

"He went there again just after lunch today, the bar had just opened. But this time, he wasn't alone; he was with a woman in her twenties, almost thirty, with a gentle demeanor."

"Shall we move in now?"
