This figure had golden hair like a waterfall, blood-red eyes like Glass, and a hint of curiosity on her delicate face as she looked around without any reservations.
It was Qiu'er, who had secretly infiltrated the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce.
She closely followed the staff member ahead, and by using the interval when he passed identity verification, she successfully passed several gates that required authorization.
Meanwhile, the monitoring spirit tools on the surrounding walls, which emitted faint spirit power fluctuations, seemed to turn a blind eye to this uninvited guest; their scanning beams swept over her location without any abnormal reaction.
The young girl's expression was calm; a silver Dragon scale, serving as a pendant, was Close-fitting on her chest, emitting imperceptible ripples.
An invisible, special force field expanded from the Dragon scale, subtly twisting the surrounding light and elements, enveloping her within it, perfectly concealing her aura, making her undetectable to anyone.
Under this absolute concealment, derived from Divine Rank power, the regular monitoring facilities in the Chamber of Commerce's underground area appeared somewhat humorous and ineffective.
Soon, following the staff member ahead, Qiu'er arrived at a spacious hall.
This was the twelfth underground floor, a rest area for internal employees, vast in area and fully equipped, with soft lighting simulating natural light to alleviate the fatigue brought by high-intensity work.
Figures moved through it, some conversing in low voices, others hurrying past; everything appeared efficient and orderly.
Qiu'er, like an invisible bystander, wandered aimlessly in this area. After strolling for a while, she slipped into an unoccupied tea room.
Leaning against the long table where refreshments were placed, Qiu'er unceremoniously picked up an exquisite cake, supplied in unlimited quantities, and began to eat it in small bites.
At the same time, with a flick of her finger, a seemingly ordinary notebook appeared in her hand.
Opening the notebook, it was densely filled with various pieces of information:
"Underground first floor, basic Materials warehouse, no traces of Luck."
"Underground sixth floor, large conference room area, spirit power barrier is of a higher Rank, no traces of Luck."
"Underground eighth floor, ecological simulation botanical garden, rich life aura, no traces of Luck."
...The young girl looked at these records and pouted, seemingly very dissatisfied with the progress.
She stuffed the last bite of cake into her mouth, licked the cream from her fingertips, then took out a pen and wrote content in a new blank space.
"Underground twelfth floor, employee rest area, densely populated, complex environment, no traces of Luck."
After writing, she closed the notebook and sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of annoyance:
"Why haven't I found it yet!"
Patience was not something she was good at, especially after several days of fruitless searching. There was no mention of patience; if it weren't for her Lord Sister's command, she would have certainly run away.
She initially chose to stake out the target outside the Kong Family residence, but never had much success.
At the same time, the Dragon scale bestowed upon her by her Lord Sister, Close-fitting on her chest, also warned her that unpredictable dangers lurked within the Kong Family, so she chose not to infiltrate.
Under such circumstances, she then set her sights on the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce.
With the protection of the Dragon scale, she easily figured out the structure of the Chamber of Commerce's above-ground and shallow underground levels, and she indeed clearly sensed the unique aura of destiny belonging to the Child of Destiny.
This discovery filled her with motivation, especially after confirming the existence of many deeply hidden floors within the Chamber of Commerce, which further convinced her that her target was located underground in the Kong Family Chamber of Commerce.
However, four or five days had passed, and she was still like a headless fly navigating this underground labyrinth, having investigated nearly twenty floors, yet she hadn't even touched a shadow of her target. The progress was infuriatingly slow.
Thinking of this, Qiu'er angrily fumed for a moment, then fiercely picked up another piece of cake and bit into it, as if she wasn't chewing a dessert but that Child of Destiny she had never met.
Taking a few deep breaths, Qiu'er calmed herself down, thinking silently in her heart.
As soon as she found the other party, she would immediately activate the Dragon scale to summon her Lord Sister.
At that time, with her Lord Sister's Divine Might, capturing the other party would surely be a piece of cake. She would definitely interrogate this guy severely!
Hmm, and she could also get her Luck back. After all, a part of that guy's Luck originally belonged to her. She must squeeze all the Luck that belonged to her out of that guy, not a single bit left!
Just as Qiu'er was immersed in future fantasies, footsteps and conversation came from outside the tea room.
Several figures in researcher uniforms walked in. They seemed to have just finished a discussion and were still continuing a certain topic.
"...My Energy conduction structure optimization experiment is basically complete. Now, only the metal strength of the core pressure-bearing component has not reached the theoretical value, and it's stuck."
"Then you can try applying to use the latest batch of'Semi-Spirit Forged' alloy. It is said that its strength and spirit power affinity have made a qualitative leap compared to the previous Thousand-Forged metal, which should meet your requirements," one person suggested.
The one who spoke first, his eyes flickered, "Really? Is my authorization sufficient to apply?"
"Yes, according to regulations, your project Rank allows you to apply for a certain quota for verification experiments, but you need to go to the special Materials warehouse on the negative one hundred and twenty-fourth floor to retrieve it yourself. Once the procedures are done, you can just go and get it."
Qiu'er, who was listening in invisibly, instantly perked up her ears, and a gleam flashed in her red eyes.
Underground negative one hundred and twenty-fourth floor? Such a deep level! The deepest floor she had investigated before was only around negative thirty-something. Such a deep place might really hide crucial clues!
A hint of anticipation rose in Qiu'er's heart.
A moment later, the researcher seemed to receive a notification that his authorization had passed, and his face showed joy: "Good Luck, the application has been approved! Then I won't be slacking off with you guys; the experiment is important."
After speaking, the person turned around and quickly left in a hurry.
Qiu'er dared not delay either and quickly followed silently.
The two entered the spirit tool elevator one after the other. After the researcher performed identity authentication, the spirit tool elevator began to descend smoothly and rapidly.
The numbers kept jumping, finally stopping at "-124."
The elevator door opened, and the researcher stepped out. Qiu'er followed closely. However, just as she was about to step out of the spirit tool elevator,
The space ahead rippled like water without warning, and the researcher stepped in without hesitation, his figure instantly disappearing.
Qiu'er tried to catch up, but her movement was half a beat too slow. Just as she stepped out of the spirit tool elevator, the spatial ripples had already subsided, isolating her within the corridor of the negative one hundred and twenty-fourth floor.
"No, where did he go?" Qiu'er frowned and instinctively spoke.
Before her words finished, a terrifying killing intent, so cold it had solidified, suddenly tore through space, instantly engulfing her completely!
