Chapter 203: Chapter 201 Rune Short Sword

As Feng Ruixing loosened his tone, Wen Wen’s aura immediately became as warm as spring.

He efficiently handed over a contract and explained in detail the contents to Feng Ruixing to dispel all his doubts.

This approach was much more enthusiastic than when he dealt with Gong Baoding.

After all, recruiting Gong Baoding was about gaining a subordinate, whereas recruiting Feng Ruixing was about gaining a financial god.

Seeing that Feng Ruixing had signed the contract, he resumed his aloof demeanor, but inwardly he laughed like a weasel clutching an old hen.

"By signing this contract, you are now one of the Sanctuary’s people. You must consider the Sanctuary’s interests, understood?"

Feng Ruixing nodded helplessly. From the changes in Wen Wen’s attitude before and after, he understood that he had been scared and deceived into joining the band of thieves.

Among all the Containment Officer candidates, Feng Ruixing’s combat ability was ranked quite low, and he neither had troubles that required the Sanctuary’s resolution nor the strength and experience to capture monsters.

Thus, merely inviting him might not have led him to accept.

But Wen Wen had set his eyes on him from the moment he saw him and was determined to bring him under his command, hence this wave of intimidation.

He had no experience, did not understand the world of superpower users, and most importantly, he was wealthy!

Who else could be more suitable to bear the financial burdens of the Sanctuary?

Yes, Wen Wen was indeed after his money.

Relying solely on Wen Wen, the vast Sanctuary would increasingly struggle to sustain itself, so Wen Wen needed to find a major financial backer, and that backer was Feng Ruixing.

After finalizing the contract, Wen Wen first took Feng Ruixing’s soul into the Sanctuary and handed over the duties to him. After receiving the Containment Officer’s pendant, he became the Sanctuary’s new Containment Officer.

Wen Wen seriously said, "From today onwards, you are a member of the Sanctuary. Hereafter, you must actively capture monsters and not let down my expectations."

"Capturing monsters, I’m afraid I can’t do that," Feng Ruixing evaluated his combat capabilities and said without confidence.

"If you cannot capture monsters, then you must compensate in other ways," Wen Wen stated.

After that, Wen Wen sent Feng Ruixing’s soul back and ceased further conversation with him.

Returning to his own body, Feng Ruixing shivered and upon opening his hand, he saw a silver badge.

He then sighed and wryly said, "Compensate in other areas... Ah... so basically it’s my money."

However, although he was the one at a disadvantage, Feng Ruixing still felt somewhat relieved.

For many years, he had been trying hard to conceal his identity as a superpower user without any sense of security.

Now that he had joined an organization that seemed powerful, it could perhaps provide him with some protection.

Little did he know that the organization’s formal members, counting him, numbered only three.

...

After seeing off Feng Ruixing, Wen Wen, in high spirits, used his key to unlock the second Containment Officer’s room.

Upon opening it and letting the stale air disperse, Wen Wen deduced that this room might have once belonged to a female Containment Officer.

The room lacked books but contained quite a few pieces of gold and silver jewelry, which suggested that this individual was not from the Capital.

Like the first room, there were several items that might once have had Supernatural Power, but all had lost their special properties and were no longer valuable.

Moreover, Wen Wen did not find the expected Secret Manual or the ancient female boudoir’s private items here.

Overall, the greatest value of this room was to sell antiques. After a simple search with nothing useful discovered, Wen Wen immediately began to move out.

This time, Wen Wen did not hold back. He simply took everything in the room that seemed valuable and left only an empty shell for Feng Ruixing.

After all, Feng Ruixing would not miss that bit of money.

When he reached a copper mirror, Wen Wen first wiped the dust off it with a cloth. After a few wipes, an aged face emerged on the surface of the mirror.

"Many years have passed, and finally someone has opened my seal again. Young man, I will guide you to glory!" the face in the mirror spoke pompously.

Wen Wen scratched his head and asked, "So, do you speak the common language of the Federation?"

"Young foreigner, I am the all-knowing Magic Mirror, able to answer all your doubts."

Wen Wen: "...I don’t understand what bird language you’re speaking, but it must be a Containment Item."

Then he snapped his fingers with a click, and Black Chains surged out, binding the Magic Mirror.

Upon seeing these chains, the Magic Mirror began crying bitterly, "Young man, sir, master... give me a chance, I can provide you with meticulous service."

Following that, Wen Wen stored it in the containment warehouse.

"It might be a good item, but I can’t use it since we don’t speak the same language, alas... what a pity."

Wen Wen knew two languages, one being the ancient Capital language and the other the Common Language of the Federation, which is very close to the ancient Capital language. As for what the mirror spoke, heaven knows what language that was.

After organizing everything, Wen Wen stored these items along with some antiques left in Gong Baoding’s room together.

He planned to hand over all this money and antiques to Feng Ruixing after Zhao Jinwu returned the money from selling the antiques.

Then let Feng Ruixing use this money to run a business to sustain the normal expenses of the Sanctuary.

As a detective with integrity, he naturally would not directly ask Feng Ruixing for money.

"You can’t just make the horse run without letting it graze, always letting it contribute isn’t right; otherwise, he won’t feel a sense of belonging to the Sanctuary."

Wen Wen scratched his chin, deciding to give Feng Ruixing a bit of incentive.

So, he first purchased a slightly longer short sword, with a blade length of over forty centimeters, and returned to the Sanctuary, switching into the form of the Catastrophe Prison Warden.

Next, he covered the Short Sword with black energy.

Wen Wen didn’t know how to forge Supernatural Weapons, but removing impurities from the short sword should certainly improve it.

The black energy surged, continuously removing impurities from the short sword, simultaneously strengthening the texture of the metal.

When Wen Wen finished, he was slightly annoyed to find out that what he had bought as a Fine Steel Short Sword had now turned into a utility knife...

Rubbing his head, Wen Wen left the place. After a while, he returned, holding a bunch of daggers.

Before obtaining the Rune Dagger, Wen Wen always carried many daggers. After acquiring the Rune Dagger, these daggers were phased out, but Wen Wen had not thrown them away.

He then tempered all these daggers, and barely managed to fuse the tempered metal into the shape of a short sword.

Finally, Wen Wen engraved upgraded Runes on the short sword and adjusted the shape a bit. A brand new Rune Short Sword was thus created.
