Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu received the invitation to the banquet from Xie Yuchen after he and Black Glasses completed a simple commission together.

Prior to this, he used the scattered enemies in the tomb as experimental subjects to test the practical application of various spells, and included several of the spells that he felt most comfortable using into the list for frequent use.

"So this is what you have been studying for some time? It looks like the witchcraft of Chu." The man with black glasses asked, touching his chin.

Behind him, the client who wanted to cancel the contract temporarily and his team of enemies had been dealt with by Black Glasses.

The man with black glasses looked at the group of guys on the ground who were no longer making any movement, and sighed without any emotion, "Why would such good people come here to seek death for no reason?" He then observed a moment of silence for a few minutes as he mourned for the balance of the payment that had gone with the wind.

"I guess so. The spells we just tested were all extracted from the Chu Silk Book."

Chi Yu said nonchalantly, still holding the bone pen that served as the medium for casting spells, turning it around a few times.

He seemed to have thought of something, and the bone pen stopped turning. He held it in his hand again and added, "But there should be room for improvement."

“People always try to crack the secret of longevity in various ways, but you can easily see through things that they will never be able to see.”

The man with black glasses said, turning around and smiling at Chi Yu, "It seems that you have a talent for learning 'arts', and you are very suitable for trying things in this area."

Chi Yu did not comment on this.

Then the man with black glasses said, "Don't look at me as a blind man. I prefer to solve problems first. In fact, I know a thing or two about these techniques. Do you want to hear my advice, Boss Chi?"

Chi Yu put away the bone pen, and looked at the man with black glasses with light-colored eyes: "You say."

"Whether it's witchcraft or magic, based on the commonality of magic and the difference between magic and numerology, its essence is actually a kind of borrowing of external energy, rather than going with the flow."

The man with black glasses took out three copper coins from his pocket, threw them into the air, and caught them one by one.

He looked down, revealed a satisfied smile, and showed the copper coin in his hand to Chi Yu: "Just like I am proficient in numerology, I am good at using yin and yang and the five elements to mobilize the energy in them."

"This is just a way to observe the possibilities of the future. I didn't change anything with it, so there is no price to pay. But the magic you use, Boss Chi, is different. It emphasizes that you must return what you borrow."

So this person is advising him not to abuse magic for the sake of convenience?

Chi Yu blinked.

However, his power was mainly provided by Logos, and the other party did not require Chi Yu to repay it in the later period.

Even from the perspective of magic logic, there is no hidden danger in his using the spell in this way.

However, people cannot be generalized, and he can understand the starting point of Black Glasses' words.

Chi Yu looked at the copper coin handed to him and took it. "So what did you see from this just now, Black Glasses?"

"As for me..." said the man with black glasses, "I see a good possibility."

He looked at Chi Yu, and the smile on his face gradually deepened: "Maybe you will also like that kind of future."

"is it?"

The future is an ambiguous thing, and everything can be changed before the dust settles.

Compared to the mysterious so-called observed possibility mentioned by Black Glasses, Chi Yu would rather believe in the ending he created with his own hands.

That was the only thing he could accept.

Chi Yu played with the copper coin, lowered his eyes to look at it for a while, and then threw it back to Black Glasses: "Let's go, it's time to go back."

The lowered partition rose again under Chi Yu's control, and fell heavily again after the two left the range, sealing everything off.

When Chi Yu and Black Glasses returned to the ground and restored the communication signal, Xie Yuchen's call came without any warning.

Chi Yu looked at the caller ID on his phone and went over his recent affairs in his mind again.

He didn't seem to have any cooperation with the company under Xie Yuchen's name recently, and he didn't know why this person suddenly called him.

"what's up?"

"It seems that things are over on your side." Xie Yuchen said on the other end of the phone.

His voice sounded a little unclear, as if he didn't expect his call to be suddenly connected. He just dialed the number with the mentality of giving it a try, so he didn't pick up the phone.

Chi Yu could still hear the rustling sound of Xie Yuchen's pen writing on paper at a very fast speed, but it soon stopped.

Then there was a "click" sound, and the pen was placed on the table by Xie Yuchen. At the same time, his voice became clearer.

"Are you free next Sunday?" Xie Yuchen asked, "I want to invite you to a birthday dinner."

Next Sunday...

Chi Yu sorted out his schedule for the next period of time and found that there was basically no work that needed to be left for that time.

If he didn't make arrangements in advance, he would probably be very idle during that period.

No birthday dinner? Whose birthday dinner?

Chi Yu blinked.

Each industry has its own complete and complex social circle.

These social circles are like a huge network that closely connects people in the industry, and they are intertwined and influence each other.

Chi Yu and Jie Yuchen are now in the same circle. Those irrelevant or relevant news will always reach their ears in various ways.

Just like if Chi Yu received an invitation to attend a business event, then Xie Yuchen would definitely receive the same or even better invitation.

But before receiving this call from Xie Yuchen, Chi Yu had not heard of any company director planning to celebrate his birthday recently.

Xie Yuchen specifically mentioned this banquet to him now. Is there some inside story that he doesn't know?

Chi Yu thought about it for a while, and happily chose not to embarrass himself, and directly asked the person who brought the problem:

"Is there anything special about this banquet?"

Hearing this, Xie Yuchen smiled softly: "You know, as long as it is a banquet hosted by people like us, no matter what the initial theme is, it will eventually have the nature of business exchanges."

"But if you ask me, what's so special about this party that makes me specially invite you to attend. In fact, there are not so many twists and turns in it. It's just because I am the one who needs to host this party. So-"

Xie Yuchen's voice remained gentle in the transmission of the electrical signal. He had already given his reasons and was now waiting for an answer from Chi Yu: "Chi Yu, will you come?"
