But because I couldn't get past that mental barrier, I had to thoroughly investigate before taking action, wasting several days.

Isn't it likely that this private chat with Uncle will end in him being furious and reprimanding me upon hearing Fang Yu is still alive?

Wang Ruiyang felt worried inside.

Yet what Wang Ruiyang didn't expect was... instead of being reprimanded, he was actually...

"Investigated it? Fine."

"But put this matter aside for now. Your brother's revenge is irrelevant. Aren't you near the Qiyun Port sea area recently? It's very likely that a Divine Artifact quest will emerge in Qiyun Port."

"Although we might not procure the final Divine Artifact, I need someone to pave the way, so when we intervene later, it will be much smoother."

"Put your brother's revenge aside for now and go to Qiyun Port and take on this Divine Artifact quest. Follow the mission progress to complete it."

If you do well in this task, your inheritance rank in the clan could be elevated, and the resource support will also increase!"

Seeing the text sent from Uncle, Wang Ruiyang suddenly felt something inside, staring blankly at the private chat panel in front of him.

Revenge... put aside?

The task is paramount?

That was your own nephew, my brother!

He was killed just like that, and I've basically got the killer's motive and evidence.

How can we just drop the revenge?

"Uncle, I've already identified Wang Qi's killer. Just give me a few days, and I can kill him!"

Wang Ruiyang couldn't help but plead.

"A few days? Do you know how much you'll lag behind others if this task is delayed by a few days?"

"This is about the Wang Clan's future, and whether we can reach the Zhang Clan's status depends entirely on whether we can profit from this situation."

"Think of the bigger picture, and set these minor matters aside!"

Uncle sent a line of text after text.

Gazing at the messages in front of him, Wang Ruiyang tightened his fists.

The bigger picture?

Minor matters?

Is there anything bigger than a family member's death?

How can Wang Qi's death be treated as a minor matter?

Is this how a corporation operates?

Are these the relatives who were once poor, but now entered this world and gained power?!

Wang Ruiyang's heart turned cold.

But "Uncle" on the other side clearly knew what Wang Ruiyang was thinking and quickly typed a message:

"Wang Ruiyang, you need to think about this clearly. Your parents lack competence and talent. The reason they receive so much family resource support is entirely because of you. You have a combat-type talent that won't be suppressed by Alchemy technology and theology, allowing you to fully exert your combat power. This mission is advantageous to you."

"If you handle this matter well, the support resource level of your parents, including your fiancée, will be elevated by a level."

"Otherwise, I will consider withdrawing support for your parents."

My parents?

Aren't my parents your brother and sister-in-law?!

Aren't they your family too?!

The people in this corporation once felt vaguely unfamiliar to Wang Ruiyang.

But he never imagined that the current coldness shown by the corporation would reach this extent.

Wang Ruiyang's heart chilled, but he could only sigh deeply and respond:

"Don't worry, Uncle. I will definitely carry out this task properly and put my brother's death... aside for now..."

"Good, good, good, that's the spirit of a future heir!"

"Uncle" was satisfied, and his avatar turned gray, leaving the private chat channel.

Left staring blankly at the sea ahead, Wang Ruiyang's eyes were puzzled.

...

"Alright, finally finished, it utterly drained me!"

At the Ji Clan Trading Association dock in Qiyun Port.

Wang Yuanwei popped his head out from the Salted Fish's cannon, his face worn out as he spoke to Fang Yu and the others.

These past two days, Wang Yuanwei was indeed utterly exhausted, juggling the Alchemist Association's mission matters and engraving Enchantment Seal Patterns for Fang Yu.

Getting up early, going to bed late, Fang Yu even suspected that this guy might just drop dead while engraving.

Hearing Wang Yuanwei say this, the Salted Fish's crew collectively breathed a sigh of relief.

Goddamn it...

It's finally over.

If he kicked the bucket on board, would this count as a work-related injury?

"Not bad! You have a look; I'm heading back to rest first!"

Wang Yuanwei, with dark circles under his eyes, waved his hand and said to Fang Yu.

"Hey, Mr. Wang, why don't you take a bottle of energy potion? I'll treat you, you're looking quite creepy."

Fang Yu gave Wang Yuanwei a glance and spoke seriously.

"Nah, I'm fine!" Wang Yuanwei waved his hand: "Anyone in the alchemist business wakes up and starts engraving right away. We've gotten used to it."

"I'll pass on the energy potion; that stuff is nicknamed cow-horse soup. You drink it, feel rejuvenated, and can't sleep, just wanting to keep working."

Fang Yu: ...

Suspecting that Mr. Wang might have been to Blue Star or met coders, how could he be so spot on with every word?!

"Alright, check out the effect; I'm heading out first!"

Wang Yuanwei waved to Fang Yu and, along with his assistant, turned and left.

Watching Wang Yuanwei's departing figure, Fang Yu didn't hesitate, directly opening the panel to view the cannon enchantment section.

This time Fang Yu opted for a mid-level enchantment on that Thunderfire Cannon.

On Fang Yu's ship, there are three ordinary cannons in total.

Two of them have already had beginner-level enchantments applied: the Thunderfire Cannon and the Multi-Shot Cannon.

As for the other one, it was originally planned for a beginner-level enchantment this time, but seeing how overwhelmed Wang Yuanwei was, Fang Yu didn't have the heart to press for more enchantments from him.

After the campaign ends, and the Alchemist Association returns to normal operations, Fang Yu planned to go back to Wang Yuanwei for the engravings.

At this thought, Fang Yu's gaze naturally shifted to his panel.

Following the Thunderfire Cannon's beginner-level enchantment description, Fang Yu's sight settled on the new line of text below.

This line of text is the introduction to the mid-level enchantment that Wang Yuanwei recently engraved.

The effect stated above read:...
