Chapter 203 - 145: Major Changes in the Jade Pendant! (Part 2)
On the desk in the bedroom, there is a Flame Cloud Falcon ornament.
The yard also fell into silence, with the Electric Flying Cat snoring in the small tree house, and Iron Head did not return to the nest but quietly guarded the gate, like a silent statue.
Under the starry sky, Run Run Duck, wearing an apron, drifted into dreamland.
There wasn’t a place for the Fallen Meteor Horned Beast to sleep on the farm temporarily, so Chen Yuan had to let it find a place to rest for now, deciding to build a shelter the next day.
In the bedroom,
Chen Yuan closed his eyes, calmed his mind, and the Jade Pendant on his chest emitted a faint glow as he entered a meditative state.
"Orange, Watermelon, good evening!" It was still a lively voice; Jiang Wenning seemed happy every day.
"Good evening."
"Good evening, both of you."
After the greetings, Li Junyue started the conversation, his usually calm and steady voice carried a hint of joy: "I’ve successfully joined the Investigation Department."
"That’s great!" Jiang Wenning exclaimed in surprise.
"Congratulations, you’ve finally achieved your dream," Chen Yuan said.
Li Junyue’s tone also became lighter: "Thanks to both of you, I wouldn’t have succeeded without your help."
Whether it was Jiang Wenning selflessly sharing various Beast Taming knowledge and experience, or the precious resources sent by Chen Yuan, both helped him a lot.
Upon receiving the news of passing the assessment today, he even indulged in a rare moment of enjoying some drinks with his wife, savoring their time together.
The heavy stone in his heart finally settled down.
"Huh? I remember you took the assessment two weeks ago and said the results would be out in a week, why did it take so long?" Chen Yuan keenly noticed this detail.
Li Junyue replied: "The number of applicants was beyond the Investigation Department’s expectations, and just the screening and verification took a lot of time, so it was delayed by a week."
"Watermelon, it’s impressive you stood out among so many competitors as a member of our Fruit Factory," Jiang Wenning chuckled.
By now, Li Junyue no longer resisted this childish name and smiled slightly: "Yes, I’m glad I joined the Fruit Factory."
At this moment, a brilliant light appeared before the three of them, a dazzling spot quickly approaching until it occupied the entire vision.
"It’s here..."
Seeing this, the slightly tipsy Li Junyue immediately sobered up and spoke softly.
For a moment, none of the three spoke.
It wasn’t until the spot gradually calmed down that Jiang Wenning proactively said: "Hello, newcomer, don’t panic, don’t be nervous, I will explain everything to you."
"Everything starts with a Jade Pendant."
The newcomer’s reaction was identical to Li Junyue’s at the beginning, immersed in silence, only Jiang Wenning’s voice continuously echoed in their mind.
After a long time,
Jiang Wenning said: "If you don’t believe us, you can actively sever the connection with the Jade Pendant."
"I...I believe you." A magnetic female voice emerged in the minds of the three.
Upon hearing this voice, Chen Yuan raised an eyebrow.
The voice seemed a bit familiar.
Though they communicated with thoughts via the Jade Pendant, they could generally distinguish the tone and voice color.
Li Junyue didn’t speak, he calmed his mind and listened quietly.
They had already planned the strategy for facing the fourth person, with Jiang Wenning responsible for communicating, and Li Junyue using his rich experience to analyze the person’s general situation from their speech.
"You can choose a fruit’s name as your code name, I’m Pomelo, the other two are Orange and Watermelon," Jiang Wenning said.
"Then....."
The person hesitated for a while, then said: "Then I’ll use Grape, as grapes are quite famous here."
A place famous for grapes?
Li Junyue’s eyes flashed, and many place names suddenly popped up in his mind.
"Can you tell us where you got this Jade Pendant?" Jiang Wenning asked, "Is it a family heirloom? Or was it unexpectedly found?"
"I found it at a small stall, it seemed quite antique, and maybe it would look great with the right outfit." The person replied.
Jiang Wenning’s eyes brightened: "You think so too? What kind of outfit did you pair it with?"
Everyone knows that girls match different outfits and bags with different accessories.
Seeing the conversation veering into a strange area, Li Junyue gently coughed: "Let’s talk about something else."
At this time, Chen Yuan, who had been silent, suddenly spoke: "Are you a photographer?"
"Eh? How did you know?" The person initially expressed surprise, then muttered, "Your voice sounds a bit familiar."
Chen Yuan suddenly laughed: "I’m Chen Yuan."
It matched; everything matched.
This familiar voice.
Plus, a place famous for grapes, it had to be the Fire State, without a doubt.
"Eh eh eh, do you two know each other?" Jiang Wenning asked in surprise.
Chen Yuan laughed: "Remember when I met three new friends while in Fire State? She is one of them."
Upon hearing this, Li Junyue’s previously tense nerves suddenly relaxed, but he hadn’t completely let down his guard yet.
"Hello, I’m Chang Yuhuan."
Sitting in a rented small room, Chang Yuhuan, who had originally felt nervous due to the strange and mysterious environment, also heaved a sigh of relief.
Chen Yuan suddenly asked: "Where did you find this Jade Pendant?"
"Ancient Shule City." Chang Yuhuan answered Chen Yuan’s question truthfully.
"I remember you were photographing in Ancient Shule City recently." Chen Yuan said.
"Yes, I found this Jade Pendant while shooting the ancient city today, didn’t expect such a thing to happen." Thinking back to the encounter brought by the Jade Pendant, Chang Yuhuan still found it wonderful.
Li Junyue abruptly spoke: "As we suspected, there are not just three Jade Pendants, but very likely others distributed in other places, waiting to be discovered."
