Chapter 384 The Unknown Meeting
"For long-term funding entrustment, our fund management is completely transparent and open, and you can check it on the official website at any time."
"I see, that's really convenient."
"If you have any doubts, you can contact Wang Xiaowang directly to get a clear understanding of where the funds came from."
The chief committee member picked up the document in his hand and explained the mutual aid association's funding matters to Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu.
Wang Xiaowang sat to the side, curiously peering in, his tail wagging gently. He wanted to listen but couldn't quite understand, so he tried to comprehend it from the chief committee member's words.
"The mutual aid association takes no commission, and all entrusted funds will be transferred in batches. During the storage period, the association will also provide a special annual interest rate of 3% for investment purposes."
"The funds and interest will be deposited into Xiao Wang's hands regularly. When she graduates, the remaining funds will be transferred to her in one lump sum as her start-up capital for entering human society."
"This is too good to be true...it even sounds a bit unbelievable."
Nan Jiayu marveled, but couldn't help but make a comment.
The chief committee member wasn't angry; he smiled and took a cigarette out of his pocket and put it in his mouth.
But he didn't light it; it was more like he was just dangling a cigarette in his mouth, indulging in a craving.
"The last funder told me the same thing in private, but that's the standard we've followed for decades."
"If you're worried, I can contact a few S-class heroes you're familiar with to vouch for you."
"Hmm...for example?"
Su Tianqing's curiosity was suddenly ignited, and her fox tail immediately started wagging as she spoke with anticipation.
This committee member has such abilities? I, the fox, must see for myself.
The self-proclaimed chief committee member, Nan Hexi, simply smiled, took out an old-fashioned cell phone from his pocket, and dialed a number.
"...Hey. It's me. Come to the mutual aid association meeting room."
The next moment.
The distortion of space was fleeting, and Meteor, dressed in the Hero Association uniform, appeared in the corner of the conference room, looking at the chief committee member who was waving at her with considerable surprise.
And standing beside her is the white-haired girl, Messiah, with an incredulous expression.
"Boss, is there something you need?"
Meteor looked at Su Tianqing in surprise at the conference table, but still maintained a proper and meticulous attitude in front of the chief committee member.
"This Miss Su Tianqing wants the two of you to act as guarantors. So, Miss Su Tianqing, are you satisfied now?"
The fox spirit nodded vigorously.
.
With the guarantees from acquaintances Meteor and Messiah, and given her title of Chief Committee Member, Su Tianqing had no doubts about this committee member whatsoever.
Having the power to summon S-class heroes at any time is not something a charity association member can possess.
After signing a long-term sponsorship agreement and transferring 100,000 yuan to the mutual aid association's account, this somewhat troublesome charitable sponsorship was successfully completed.
"Speaking of which, Xiao Wang, we found that you deposited all the specially approved funds into a bank card with no withdrawal records... Do you have any concerns?"
"Woof?"
The dog-girl tilted her head curiously and blinked.
After Meteor and the chief committee member explained things to her, the dog girl finally realized what was going on:
"Woof! So, the money in that card was specially approved to support me?!"
"I thought someone had mistakenly transferred the money! I don't dare spend a single penny!"
Amidst laughter, the charitable donation came to a close, and Wang Xiaowang's tuition and living expenses were finally resolved.
But the dog girl still said, "I have to go to work, so I'll go first," while making plans to go out for dinner with Su Tianqing that evening, and then skipped away from the mutual aid association office wagging her tail.
Watching the lively dog girl disappear into the subway station, Su Tianqing turned around and met the gaze of the chief committee member who had somehow appeared behind her.
Those deep blue eyes, seemingly able to see into one's soul, sent another shiver down the fox girl's spine.
"Miss Su Tianqing, Miss Nan Jiayu."
"Before you two leave, may I speak with you alone for a moment?"
"Oh, of course, where would you like to talk?" Su Tianqing asked curiously.
The chief committee member smiled slightly, turned his head, and gave Messiah behind him a wink.
The white-haired girl stepped forward and snapped her fingers.
"Clatter".
"Smash!!!!"
The sound of something breaking and cracking rang in Su Tianqing's ears.
The piercing sound made the cat and fox shrink their ears, but after a moment, everything returned to calm.
The surroundings fell into an almost absolute silence. The vehicles on the road stopped moving, the birds in the air seemed to be frozen in the air, and even the falling leaves stopped falling. Everything was at a standstill.
"This...this is..." Nan Jiayu immediately became nervous.
Only psychic abilities could create such a supernatural scene, but both he and Tian Qing possess strong magical power, making it theoretically impossible for them to be...
"Misser, take the meteor and get out of there."
"Okay."
The white-haired girl, contrary to her previous languid demeanor when meeting Su Tianqing, became quite decisive. Carrying the frozen meteor in one hand, she turned and disappeared into the office building.
And he didn't forget to close the door behind him.
"...Don't be nervous, this is Misser's psychic ability, [The World]."
"She can pause time. I remember when I first met her it was for ten seconds, right? Now it's probably increased to thirty seconds."
"But this is only an objective time stop. From the perspective of our subjective conversation, it feels like about six times longer... or three minutes."
silence.
Su Tianqing and Nan Jiayu were speechless, only astonishment and surprise remained.
First, they were astonished that such terrifying psychic abilities existed in the world; second, they were surprised that the chief committee member in front of them and themselves were completely unaffected.
"In these one-on-one conversations, there's no need to hold back anymore."
The chief committee member said softly,
Let me reintroduce myself.
"Nan Hexi, codename [Barbarossa], is the chief committee member of the Orc Mutual Aid Association, concurrently serving as the president of the Hero Association, and one of the founders of the Hero Association."
"It's a pleasure to meet you both. Hellcat and Heartmoon Fox."
Nan Jiayu almost reached into her pocket to grab the Guardian Star, but Su Tianqing grabbed her wrist tightly.
Calm down! Little Fish, calm down! This person in front of us is definitely not someone the two of us can contend with!
The title of "President of the Hero Association" alone is terrifying enough, not to mention that he directly called out their identities, which is even more chilling.
But he called it Heart Moon Fox instead of Dandelion, what exactly is going on...?
"Don't be nervous, I mean no harm. I've come here specifically to thank you both."
The chief committee member said with a smile,
"Your efforts have reduced the casualty rate of the strange people in Rongcheng to the lowest level in history, and the number of times buildings need repair has been reduced by nearly half."
"Not to mention their outstanding performance in Guangzhou and the port city."
"You have made outstanding contributions to this world. You have saved countless lives and property and brought joy to people. On behalf of the Hero Association, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to you."
"This is a small gift to express my gratitude; please accept it."
He pulled out two specially made black and gold envelopes from his pocket, printed with mysterious patterns and symbols that no one recognized.
Su Tianqing didn't dare to refuse, nor could she refuse.
The fox girl and the cat girl timidly accepted the envelope, their fox tails and cat tails bristling at the same time, and their hands trembling as they took the envelope.
The envelope vanished into a wisp of magic the moment it was touched.
Nan Jiayu now possessed a bright blue guardian star, radiating a dazzling light reminiscent of a black hole accretion disk.
Although Su Tianqing had nothing in her hands, the voice of the secret manual echoed in her mind—
[Achievement Completed:
[Reward: Unlocked on pages 8-10 of the Mystic Codex Shop]
[Reward: The variety of items sold in the Secret Codex Hidden Shop has increased, and the appearance rate of rare items has increased.]
[Reward: Heartmoon Wand enhanced, new spell unlocked from Inari Spellbook]
All the words in the fox spirit's mouth can be summed up in one sentence:
"what?"
"It's just a small gift. I hope you two can continue to maintain this momentum in the future."
"Time's almost up... There's one more thing I need to remind you of."
The chief committee member smiled and nodded, and said,
"remember."
"This conversation we're having today never happened, do you understand what I mean?"
