Chapter 1172: Chapter 1170: Amusement Park Sample

Old Master Logan?

Actually, I have quite a relationship with him; I hope you’re not referring to that time when he attempted the Three Purities as One.

Unexpectedly, Henry started off by mentioning a major loss of the Night Watchman recently, making it somewhat difficult to judge his attitude.

"You’re too polite; it was just a little effort on my part."

While thinking, Fu Qian casually uttered a humble remark.

I’m buddies with Old Master Logan, and considering his extremely tragic encounter, my heart is unrestful, wishing to argue for some justification, or maybe—

"Well done, that guy deserved a lesson."

Watching Fu Qian, and seeing such a humble response, Henry’s expression briefly revealed some schadenfreude.

Indeed, he was referring to the battle with Ariel.

Additionally, it seems that after Old Master Logan’s experience at Unseen Hillock, his recovery has been quite ideal; otherwise, unless there was a deep hatred, he wouldn’t make such comments at this time.

"Strength of character comes from temperance; how many are truly mature at a young age."

Quickly analyzing the content reflected in Henry’s attitude, Fu Qian also indicated that there is no need to be overly harsh on Logan, as young people should be given the chance to make mistakes.

"Being a bit arrogant when things go too smoothly is not surprising, the ability to break and then establish is a rare encounter."

...

Too immature... isn’t your critique of Logan a bit inappropriate?

At first listen, the content of their conversation seems quite normal—if Fu Qian had a different face.

Their dialogue made Yuan Shan, who knows more details, feel a bit appalled.

This guy being twenty-five years old is indeed unreliable, but that’s not too far off; such talk really is too stimulating!

Even the teacher too, Sir Logan’s situation still being cause for concern—

"Has Sir Logan’s condition completely stabilized now?"

The next moment, Yuan Shan finally realized something and looked up at the teacher somewhat excitedly.

"Although somewhat peculair overall, his sanity has recovered quite well."

Henry confirmed her suspicion.

"He’s lucky, according to Xiumeng’s statements, although the final attempt could indeed bring some changes, it was almost impossible to control the extent."

"Since he’s back, his condition has been improving continuously."

"That’s really great news."

Although Logan was not too polite to her, one can tell that Yuan Shan is genuinely happy about this news.

"Is Sir Logan still around here or..."

"How could he be, he has always despised gambling intensely."

Henry snorted.

"Despite his young age, that guy’s mind is extremely stubborn!"

"Alright..."

Before Yuan Shan could say anything more, Henry suddenly looked up at Fu Qian.

"I heard you opened a book store?"

...

Why does this question seem a bit odd.

True to a Second Phase expert, Teacher Yuan Shan’s shift in topic is indeed bizarre.

"Yes, a small shop."

Fortunately, Fu Qian is truly seasoned from navigating the business world and humbly replied with calm.

"How’s business?"

Henry looked at him with a scrutinizing stance, neither approving nor disapproving.

"Not bad, we don’t often do discounts, focusing on profit margins."

Fu Qian unflinchingly discussed his business approach.

"Though it hasn’t been a long time, we’ve already accumulated some good business partners and are also expanding our horizontal business operations, including book recycling and rental, and so on."

"Hmm... not bad, he’s an ambitious young man with ideas."

Henry stroked his chin, giving a tactfully positive review.

...

I just knew these two together would create an odd atmosphere!

In the solemn and serene chapel, Yuan Shan watched the animated conversation between the two, feeling an increasingly strong urge to punch someone.

"How’s your driving skill——"

Henry asked quite naturally, only to abruptly stop due to a sudden fierce glance.

Cough cough!

Henry retracted his gaze from the student’s frost-covered face and coughed softly, quickly reverting to his initial serious demeanor.

"Not bad."

Yet, across from him, Fu Qian seemed oblivious, responding with considerable confidence.

"Hmm... Where is the Night Watchman?"

Unfortunately, Henry seemed hesitant to continue and jumped to another topic.

And this abrupt question tensed the atmosphere immediately.

"I really haven’t heard Chief Yuan mention that."

Glancing at Yuan Shan, who looked slightly nervous, Fu Qian made a reassuring gesture, emphasizing her principled nature.

...

Yuan Shan’s concern obviously wasn’t about this, leaving her speechless at Fu Qian’s reaction.

"So where is it?"

And indeed, Henry wasn’t easily sidetracked by jokes and pressed the question without hesitation.

"Underground?"

Taking into consideration the elderly’s blood pressure, Fu Qian didn’t beat around the bush.

"Why? Did you sense someone below?"

"Not at all, but that’s the issue, it seems there’s a carefully designed shielding structure below."

"Not bad."

Henry’s gaze finally softened, laughing heartily.

"I believe now, you might be able to handle a Second Phase alone."

"Is this your first time here? What do you think of this city?"

The next moment, without waiting for Fu Qian to be modest, he started a new interrogation.

"A playground with interesting design."

Fu Qian glanced out the window, still responding smoothly.

"Are you referring to the idea of placing the church right next to the casino? That’s overpraising it."

Henry humbly countered, sounding as though he had a hand in designing the city.

"Anything else?"

"Well, a very nice surveillance room."

"...Surveilling what?"

Henry’s smile instantly evaporated.

"Hard to say, pure greed combined with different deities, maybe related to faith? After all, I’m not the designer, some specific details are hard to grasp."

Fu Qian appeared contemplative.

"But without a doubt, as an international metropolis, the humans in this playground are a world-class sampling group."

"No need for compensation, even voluntarily covering the operational costs, and automatic updates... Truly a splendid design!"

Fu Qian shook his head in admiration.

"...I didn’t tell him anything."

As Fu Qian spoke, Henry’s smile gradually faded, and he subconsciously looked down, prompting Chief Yuan to hastily explain.

"I know, of course, you also don’t know many things."

Henry shook his head.

"I must say, Mr. Fang truly opened my eyes today."

"We thought our designs were exquisitely hidden, but you saw right through them. Aren’t you worried that I will invite you to sit down below later?"

"Would you?"

Facing this slightly threatening remark, Fu Qian remained unruffled.

His visit was never to undergo a political review, just like he wanted to probe the interviewer, seeking to uncover something deeply connected to him and very secret.

Displaying such an unabashed attitude was exactly to see his reaction.

As for why he could guess those points earlier, besides observation and deduction, it was also inspired by a recent encounter with the Star Watchtower.
