The next day, Xie Ran went online and returned to the Zhulu mountain sect with Meng Feixiang to turn in the quest.

At this time the news that he had mortgaged the Zhulu mountain sect to control the most of raw materials and medicines in the game at a low price and hired nearly half of the NPCs on East Third Street to sell his goods as proxies, had already spread through the game.

Therefore, as soon as he stepped into the gate of the Zhulu mountain sect, he immediately attracted a crowd of players.

Everyone’s eyes reveal the same message: This…this is the expert who dared to mortgage Fang Muhao.

Xie Ran was not uncomfortable with this, no matter if it was his original world where he was president of Zhuzi Technology or in the previous world as a top star, he was the object of attention wherever he went.

Fang Muhao came out to greet him again, but this time he was not as enthusiastic as yesterday, his tone was filled with dissatisfaction: “Master Xie, you’re finally here.”

“Hmm.” Xie Ran answered and was about to hand over the quest when he saw Fang Muhao coughing lightly and hesitantly ask: “Master Xie, I heard from the people in the last two days that you mortgaged me and the whole Zhulu mountain sect to borrow money from the back, is that true?”

Xie Ran just glanced at Fang Muhao: “Yes.”

Fang Muhao’s expression immediately changed, a trace of annoyance appeared in his eyes, as if he was about to have a fit at any moment: “Is it inappropriate for master Xie to do this? In any case, my Zhulu mountain sect is also the number one sect in the world, although I am now under master Xie command, I am also a seven-foot man. How could you mortgage me and the sect for money from the bank? If this gets out, how can I still have any face left outside.”

As soon as Fang Muhao said this, the spirit of the players around him immediately perked up, and some people could not help but say “Oh well”, yes, this was the attitude that the great hermaphrodite Fang Muhao should have!

It was well known that Fang Muhao cared about his face very much so how could he tolerate being mortgaged for a money bank? Yesterday there was speculation whether Fang Muhao knew about this matter or whether he would have a fall out with Xie Dafang, but now the answer seemed to be clear!

Fight up fight up fight up!

Xie Dafang however did not look as nervous as everyone expected, but just calmly said: “A temporary measure.”

Fang Muhao was obviously not satisfied with this answer and was about to have a fit but at this moment Meng Feixuan stepped forward and squeezed Fang Muhao’s shoulder with a faint smile: “You have always wanted the Zhulu mountain sect to become bigger and stronger, right? Since you want to develop, of course, you also need to have a comprehensive layout.”

As he said, he took out a small booklet and handed it to Fang Muhao: “This is the result of our layout and the performance plan drawn up by master Xie. As you can see, everyone has contributed to this loan expansion, after I account for it, I will distribute the reward to everyone.”

Fang Muhao seemed to remember something as soon as Meng Feixuan squeezed his shoulder so he almost reflexively restrained his expression. After receiving the booklet and flipping it open his expression changed again. In short time his face was full of unconcealed joy as he saluted while bowing: “Thanks to master Xie care my Zhulu mountain sect made such achievements while also setting up such a comprehensive performance reward for us, I and the whole sect are willing to follow you till death and would never fail master Xie trust.”

Surrounding players: “……?”

What the hell, what happened? What kind of management genius was this person to make performance plans for the system sect?

Forget it, Fang Muhao already showed a happy expression: “Fortunately, the evaluation of money from the bank is not low, otherwise I would have felt humiliated by this price set for me by master Xie.”

Xie Ran nodded and used the boss’s tone of voice to encourage him: “You’re worth a lot of money.”

Surrounding players: “…” they felt the corners of their mouth twitch crazily.

Fang Muhao’s persona can no longer be explained by a crash, right? This could only be explained by the whole redo!

@admin03 of the planning department should be beaten to death!

After taking care of Fang Muhao, Xie Ran handed over the quest and gave the jade pendant for Nie Xueyi to Fang Muhao.

Fang Muhao received the jade pendant and with a long sigh went through the procedure affectionately: “I miss my childhood sweetheart cousin, originally we were just a couple of cultivators who were in love with each other but unfortunately, my cousin could not understand my difficulties and left me. I wonder if this jade pendant can make her change her mind.”

Everyone has seen this process several times and was very familiar with it. Next Fang Muhao would give the jade pendant as a quest object and ask the player to deliver it to Nie Xueyi. Sure enough, Fang Muhao handed the jade pendant to Xie Dafang: “Master Xie, please go again and hand this jade pendant into the hands of my cousin Nie Xueyi… “

“Isn’t this just eating from the bowl and looking at the pot?” (Chinese idiom meaning being greedy and insatiable) Meng Feixuan did not wait for him to finish before interrupting with a disgusted expression: “I object, you will teach our master badly if you act like this.”

Fang Muhao, who was halfway through his speech: “……” choked.

Meng Feixuan then turned to Xie Ran with a very serious look: “Sir,  this kind of behavior of Fang Muhao on the internet is called setting foot on two boats and is very bad. You not only should not learn from it but also strongly condemn it.”

Players around: “……”

Hello, how do you guys have the nerve to condemn Fang Muhao? Xie Dafang putting a green hat on Jian Jingsheng was a matter known by the whole game server, okay?

No, how dare they condemn Fang Muhao …. It was no right, they even dared to mortgage Fang Muhao so condemning him now was nothing.

The surrounding players’ thoughts gradually become confused.

Xie Ran did not reply to it but since Meng Feixuan tried to teach him so seriously he finally spoke in a light voice: “Then condemn it.”

Fang Muhao gave his cousin a gift for several years now but it was the first time he encountered such a situation. If it was someone else he would have directly snapped but the other person was master Xie so Fang Muhao momentarily became a little dumbfounded no longer knowing if he should continue the quest or leave it behind.

“Don’t worry about your cousin.” Meng Feixuan snatched the jade pendant from Fang Muhao’s hand, “Be a good person,  I confiscated this.”

Fang Muhao: “…”

Fang Muhao wanted to say something but finally could only say reluctantly: “Then …… that jade pendant will be given to master Xie and master Meng.”

Hearing a “ding”, Xie Ran received a system message. Player Xie Dafang received a side quest – Yang Xianyun token.

Quest requirements: return the Jade Pendant to Yang Xianyun wife, Yan Xiaowu.

It turned out this jade pendant was a token left to his wife by Yang Xianyun, another big BOSS in the game. In the game expansion, Yang Xianyun during his fight with villain brother many years ago got locked in a cave on Penglai Island and was detained there till now.
