"Sorry, Miss Li, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint your company this time..."

Qin Fang wasn't surprised by Li Enhui's call. He knew the Koreans and Japanese were definitely watching each other, and every move Qin Fang made, every person he met, was sure to be reported.

And this time, Qin Fang truly couldn't agree to Li Enhui's request, even if the Seven Stars Group offered an even higher price, it wouldn't matter because he had taken on such a task.

The offer of 40 million dollars was already far beyond his expectations, not to mention that it included Matsushima Cainaizi, whom he must acquire. This meant that the Koreans were bound to be disappointed.

"Mr. Qin..."

Li Enhui was stunned by Qin Fang's response, but she quickly recovered and tried to persuade him, even willing to raise the price again.

"Sorry, Miss Li, I've made my decision!"

Qin Fang shook his head and responded assertively, "However, I don't think it will be long before we might have another quite favorable deal..."

"Hmm? Are you saying..."

Li Enhui was slightly startled and asked cautiously, with a hint of joy on her face.

"I didn't say anything! Ah, it's late, I need to rest..."

After finishing, Qin Fang hung up the phone with a clang.

"Ugh... such an impolite guy!"

Li Enhui was surprised to find that the line had been cut off on the other end of the phone, something that rarely happened in her more than twenty years of life, especially since it had never happened before after she turned fifteen or sixteen.

On the contrary, the number of times she had hung up on others was countless...

"A very interesting young man..."

But with that thought, Li Enhui suddenly became very interested in this young man from Dragon Country.

...

On the other side of the phone, although Qin Fang had already pressed the hang-up button, his face still wore an utterly helpless expression.

"Ah, Matsushima Cainaizi, I hope you won't disappoint me..."

Qin Fang really felt frustrated, "Damn it, just for one lousy mission, trading 4 million dollars for a Japanese woman... it's such a loss!"

Qin Fang truly felt like he was at a loss. 4 million dollars, 26 million RMB - this was an enormous amount of money in Dragon Country.

With such a large sum, he could keep dozens of mistresses at once if he wanted, unlike now, where Qin Fang was wasting so much on just one woman. How could he not be depressed?

But what could he do? The mission had already been issued. It was a System mission, and he had no choice but to accept. If he abandoned the mission, he would face extremely severe penalties.

What does 'extremely severe penalties' mean?

Deleting five of the highest-level skills, and moreover, he would never be able to comprehend or learn those five skills ever again...

That would be worse than just killing Qin Fang. After all his efforts to reach this level of Proficiency, to have it all wiped at once and become incapable of understanding those skills again—Qin would have nowhere left to cry.

For example, his highest-level skills were nearly Advanced Cooking and Scouting, and losing the Cooking Skill Qin could bear since he rarely cooked anyway.

But if he lost the Scouting Skill, Qin really felt an urge to die.

The rest included Intermediate Skills like Shooting, National Arts, Acupuncture, Riding, Swimming, and many others. Some skills might be dispensable, but others were essential to Qin.

"Ah, money can be earned again, but these skills... they are absolutely irreplaceable..."

Qin Fang could only sigh helplessly. He had to accept this mission and must devote all his efforts to completing it. Otherwise, the failure penalties, although substantial, were clearly lower than those for abandoning it.

Earning money was no longer Qin Fang's primary goal. If this mission could be completed perfectly, Qin Fang wouldn't have to worry about money at all. A mere few tens of millions were nothing to the vast Shiling Group. (To be continued.
