Chapter 381 Arrangement of the Lake Bottom Space
The Emperor Plane is aware of the problem that Seven-rank Professionals have powerful auras and are easily discovered, and the Yan Hai Plane is equally aware.
The Yan Hai Plane will certainly do its best to help Seven-rank Professionals hide.
Seven-rank Professionals will also constantly change their positions to avoid being locked onto by the Emperor Plane.
Most importantly, the Emperor Plane does not want these Seven-rank Professionals to be caught, nor will it search for them with full effort.
The mission, which changes every quarter of an hour, is more like mobilizing all groups to create a bustling scene, thereby deceiving the Yan Hai Plane.
Fang Che quickly wrote down the Seven-rank Professional's information and pasted it on the Revenge Evil Mirror.
As energy was injected, the target's location immediately became visible.
At this time, the target was moving rapidly, but the area he was moving in was far from Fang Che, and all within areas with stronger rule constraints.
With Fang Che's strength, entering these areas would make it impossible for him to return to his Plane.
These places, where one cannot withdraw at any time, are too dangerous; Fang Che needs to wait for the target to enter a place with weaker rule constraints before dealing with him.
Of course, after eliminating the target, he will lose his ability to hide, and his body will be easily found by others.
Therefore, Fang Che needs to first find a safe and secret place, use a Substitute Puppet to control the target to hide, and then eliminate him.
As for the method of hiding, Fang Che thought of the group of Six-Order Professionals who were hiding inside the mountain before.
Fang Che can set up an array, hide with the help of a Spring Array, and then open a spatial passage connecting to the array.
As for the activation method of the spatial passage, it can also be arranged by controlling the Seven-rank target.
Thinking of this, Fang Che immediately set off for the areas that allowed the use of Curse Tools and observed the surrounding rules.
A few days later, Fang Che finally found a suitable area.
Fang Che arranged an array on the ground to resist the rules, and with the help of a Transformation Array, he quickly obtained the energy to return to his Plane.
Immediately after, Fang Che quickly drilled underground with the help of a tool.
After traveling underground for some time, Fang Che arrived at a weak area of the Spring Array.
This place was beneath a small lake, and the soil exuded a damp scent.
Fang Che took out a tool and quickly opened up a small space.
Then, Fang Che took out a pile of materials, ground them into powder, and mixed them with water to make red ink.
Subsequently, Fang Che dipped a brush in the ink and began to draw the array.
After the array was completed, Fang Che took out a pile of materials, placed them in different positions, and released energy, injecting it into the array.
The array was instantly activated and emitted a faint suction force; the materials placed in different positions were affected by the suction, releasing faint energy that merged into the array.
A moment later, the materials turned into powder, and the array Fang Che had set up was fully formed and merged with the Spring Array.
The Spring Array was affected by Fang Che's array, and its subtle weaknesses instantly disappeared.
Now, if someone wanted to find the weaknesses of the Spring Array, it would be a hundred times more difficult.
After Fang Che's array resolved the weaknesses of the Spring Array, the Spring Array immediately provided feedback, hiding Fang Che's array.
Under normal circumstances, the Spring Array would not help hide other unknown arrays.
However, this Spring Array was arranged by the Plane Will.
For the development of the Plane, the Plane Will usually chooses a win-win cooperation model.
And this win-win cooperation model also affected the Spring Array.
When the Spring Array discovered an unknown array helping to resolve its weaknesses, it would instinctively choose to protect the unknown array as long as it did not perceive a threat from it.
To hide an array, one utilizes this instinct.
Those Yan Hai Plane Professionals before were using the Spring Array's instinct to set up arrays and evade countless searches.
And the array Fang Che is now setting up has maximized this instinct; therefore, Fang Che's current location is even harder to find than where the Yan Hai Plane Professionals hide.
After solving the hiding problem, Fang Che began to set up the spatial teleportation method.
This spatial teleportation array was also learned from the Yan Hai Plane Professionals; to enter this lakeside space, one must use a specific method to set up a teleportation array at a specific location.
Not long after, the array was completed.
Fang Che quickly left the underground space, tore off all the Substitute Talismans on the Substitute Puppet, put them into the Voodoo Doll's space, and controlled the Voodoo Doll to move towards the edge of the area.
Although the Voodoo Doll can directly connect to Fang Che's Plane and transmit Substitute Talismans, to avoid triggering the Emperor Plane's rules, it is better to reduce the use of this method.
Under Fang Che's control, the Voodoo Doll arrived at the edge of the area and placed Substitute Talismans in some desolate places.
When that Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional comes here, he cannot fly openly in the sky; he will only move on the ground, and he will move in sparsely populated areas.
Therefore, placing the Substitute Talismans in desolate places is a good choice.
After placing the Substitute Talismans, Fang Che took out the Revenge Evil Mirror again to search for the Yan Hai Plane's Seven-rank Professional.
The Seven-rank Professional was still alive and well, still moving around.
However, his movement trajectory was unpredictable, making it impossible to determine where he was going.
But as long as he wants to plunder the Plane, there will always be a time when he stops.
Because the impact of plundering a Plane is relatively huge, he must stop to set up an array to weaken the impact after the Plane territory is plundered, to buy time for escape.
As for directly teleporting away after plundering Plane territory, that is impossible.
The Emperor Plane's rules have completely prohibited this from happening.
The Yan Hai Plane Seven-rank Professional can only run back after plundering Plane territory.
Fang Che did not continue to stare at this target but left the lakeside space and went to the Mission Hall.
Before entering the Mission Hall, Fang Che destroyed the means of returning to his Plane, only using the Transformation Array to hide his true information.
After entering the Mission Hall, Fang Che stared at the wall, waiting for new missions to appear.
There is definitely more than one Seven-rank Professional who has infiltrated the Emperor Plane.
If he only focuses on one person, he will ignore other targets that might appear near him.
Therefore, Fang Che needs to understand more information about the Yan Hai Plane Professionals.
As long as he understands enough information, someone will eventually be controlled by a Substitute Talisman and teleported to the lakeside space.
As for setting up more hidden spaces, Fang Che does not plan to do so.
Firstly, Fang Che does not have enough Substitute Talismans to disperse them to too many places.
Secondly, not all places allow the use of Curse Tools.
And most importantly, if the Yan Hai Plane's Seven-rank Professional wants to plunder Plane territory, he cannot just focus on one place; he will definitely act dispersed.
As long as Fang Che stays fixed in one place, he will eventually wait for the Yan Hai Plane's Seven-rank Professional; it's just a matter of time.
After that, Fang Che quietly watched the mission wall.
Not long after, a golden mission token appeared, was instantly taken by someone, and handed to the person registering the mission.
And Fang Che took advantage of this gap to quickly record the information that flashed across the mission token.
+++
Chapter 382: The Triangle Tribe Leader Completes the Plane Mission
From the moment the mission token appeared, to it being accepted, then thrown out, and finally caught by the Professional registering the mission, the entire process was extremely brief.
If it were an ordinary Professional, they wouldn't have even had time to clearly see the text on the mission token.
However, Fang Che possessed Seven-rank strength, and his body had undergone multiple enhancements, allowing him to easily see the information on the mission token.
After a brief moment of recollection, Fang Che clearly understood the target's information.
After noting down the information, Fang Che continued to observe the situation in the Mission Hall.
Subsequently, more mission tokens appeared, sometimes even two missions appearing simultaneously, which allowed Fang Che to learn more about the Seven-rank Professionals of the Yan Hai Plane.
After Fang Che recorded sixteen mission details, duplicate missions finally began to appear.
Fang Che did not leave but continued to record mission information.
It wasn't until Fang Che had recorded information for forty-three targets that the missions began to repeat on a large scale, with no new missions appearing for a long time.
Seeing this, Fang Che turned and left the Mission Hall.
Perhaps new missions that Fang Che hadn't seen before might still appear, but forty-three missions were already quite a few, and Fang Che planned to find these forty-three individuals first.
Leaving the Mission Hall, Fang Che found a hidden place, set up a formation to resist the Plane Will, and once again gained the ability to return to his own Plane at any time.
Then, Fang Che took out paper and pen, recorded the information of the Seven-rank Professionals, and used the Revenge Evil Mirror to find their locations.
These targets were all very far from Fang Che's current area, and their directions were constantly changing; he had no idea where they were going.
Sometimes, the target closest to Fang Che would suddenly change direction, becoming the person furthest from Fang Che.
Other times, a person who was quite far from Fang Che would suddenly approach him.
Initially, Fang Che could focus on locking onto targets closer to him, but later, he would randomly change his Observe target in sequence, no longer focusing on their distance.
After a long time, Fang Che discovered that one person had stopped and had not moved for a long time.
Fang Che guessed that he was probably preparing to seize territory.
However, the location of this person did not allow the use of Curse Tools, so even if Fang Che knew his location, it would be difficult to deal with him.
Therefore, Fang Che could only focus his attention on other targets.
Subsequently, more and more targets stopped moving.
As Fang Che had guessed, these targets were not gathered in the same area but were scattered, with at least one area separating each of them.
This was good news for Fang Che; as long as he waited patiently, he would eventually find a suitable target.
However, after waiting patiently for some time, all Seven-rank Professionals stopped moving, and no one came to Fang Che's area.
Moreover, the areas where these people were hiding were either unsuitable for Curse Tool usage or had terrifying rules that prevented Fang Che from returning to his own Plane.
Fang Che could only stop his disguise and enter the Plane Hall to look for more missions.
Subsequently, new Seven-rank targets were locked onto by Fang Che; of course, there were also many duplicate missions.
After more than a month passed, Fang Che still hadn't found a suitable target.
Fang Che could only temporarily put these matters aside and return to his own Plane.
After more than a month without returning to the Plane, the Tribal Professionals had destroyed many Planes and offered many resources.
Most of the rewards had already been paid out with soul fragments, but the method for third-rank awakening two Skills still needed Fang Che to resolve personally.
Fang Che integrated his body into the Plane, silently observing the methods used by various Tribal Professionals to condense two Skills at the third-rank, while simultaneously using the Planes submitted by various tribes to restore his own Plane.
It was at this moment that Fang Che discovered that the Triangle Human Clan Leader suddenly returned to the Plane and contacted Fang Che.
Fang Che quickly condensed Illusory Eyes in the Niwan Palace of the Triangle Human Clan Leader, and then saw a Plane coordinate.
This was the Plane coordinate Fang Che had given him after the Triangle Human Clan Leader created Skills back then.
After all this time, he had finally dealt with the situation of that Plane.
Fang Che swiftly took the Plane coordinate, rewarded him with a quota for third-rank individuals to gain two Skills, and also a quota for using a more powerful domain condensation method.
After distributing the rewards, Fang Che once again took out new Plane coordinates and ordered the Triangle Human Clan Leader to handle them.
Since a strong individual capable of Skills Creation finally appeared, Fang Che naturally wanted him to be of maximum use.
Of course, the Triangle Human Clan Leader had already resolved one Plane, so he couldn't be squeezed as hard as before.
If he was squeezed too hard, it would easily dampen his enthusiasm.
Thus, Fang Che quickly condensed the message: [Invade and destroy this Plane. You must not extract Plane energy to create resources, nor must you extract Plane energy for cultivation. You may take thirty percent of the resources already created in this Plane. After completing the mission, you will receive other rewards.]
Previously, Fang Che only allowed him to destroy the Plane, and no other resources could be taken. Now, giving him thirty percent of the resources was already a considerable amount.
One must know that when a Plane is invaded, it will create resources to cultivate strong individuals.
As long as the Triangle Human Clan Leader slows down the speed of Suppression of the Plane Will, the Plane Will will continuously produce resources.
There were many loopholes that could be exploited in this process.
Allowing someone to exploit loopholes, compared to directly rewarding a fixed amount of resources, was more effective in motivating them.
At this moment, in the Triangular Human Race, the Leader saw the new Plane coordinates and felt a bit irritable.
After working so hard to complete a mission, there's not even time to rest; he's treating me like a donkey!
However, upon seeing the notification about obtaining thirty percent of the resources, the Triangle Human Clan Leader's dissatisfaction instantly vanished.
The Triangle Human Clan Leader excitedly promised, "I will definitely complete the mission!"
Fang Che ignored the change in the Triangle Human Clan Leader's emotions and directly used the Plane coordinates to open a spatial passage, connecting to this already destroyed Plane.
Subsequently, Fang Che manipulated the Plane energy to pass through the spatial passage, segmenting and devouring the Plane, and feeding it into the restoration formation.
At the same time, Fang Che also mobilized Plane energy to extract various resources.
Before long, Fang Che had devoured all the Planes. Fang Che immediately reduced the spatial cracks within his Plane, allowing the Tribal Professionals to clearly see the Plane's recovery status.
Then, Fang Che took out the Revenge Evil Mirror to find the Planes where the six-rank the Criminals were hiding.
After judging the strength of these Planes, Fang Che quickly connected to these weaker Planes, opened countless spatial passages, and threw them near various tribes.
After completing these tasks, Fang Che returned to the Emperor Plane and went to the area where the lake-bottom space was located, continuing to search for traces of Seven-rank Professionals.
Over the next few years, Fang Che teleported back and forth between the Emperor Plane and his own Plane.
On this day, Fang Che was routinely searching for traces of Seven-rank Professionals when he discovered that a Seven-rank Professional had entered an adjacent area and was moving towards the area where the lake-bottom space was located!
+++
Chapter 383 Fishing Rod
Fang Che quickly locked onto the closest Seven-rank Professional from the Yan Hai Plane and continuously updated his location using the Revenge Evil Mirror.
At the same time, the Voodoo Doll also quickly moved to the edge of this area.
Not long after, Fang Che discovered that the target was circling around this area.
Fang Che felt that the target circling around was more like he was understanding the surrounding power situation to prepare for his upcoming actions.
Fang Che waited patiently, controlling the Voodoo Doll to move along the edge of the area to ensure the Voodoo Doll made close contact with the target.
After half a day, the target finally stopped circling and entered the area where Fang Che was located.
Just as Fang Che had guessed, the target chose to enter from a desolate place.
The Voodoo Doll moved quickly, collecting the scattered Substitute Talismans nearby and scattering them in the area in front of the target.
Not long after, the Seven-rank target stepped on a Substitute Talisman.
The next second, the Seven-rank target stopped.
Immediately after, the Voodoo Doll emerged from underground, throwing out a bottle of ink and a brush.
These were the materials for setting up a space teleportation array; Fang Che had already given the materials to the Voodoo Doll a long time ago.
The Seven-rank target quickly picked up the ink and brush and began drawing an array on the ground.
At this moment, the controlled Seven-rank target had already calmed his panicked emotions, no longer struggling, but carefully sensing his body's changes.
Not long after, the Seven-rank target noticed something unusual at his feet, and his body was out of control, seemingly related to the anomaly at his feet.
The Seven-rank target quickly concentrated his power, trying to interact with the changes at his feet.
Although the Substitute Talisman could control many people, facing a Seven-rank Professional who had already created Skills Creation, its power was inevitably somewhat insufficient.
As the Seven-rank target concentrated his power to resist, the controlling power was gradually diminishing.
Not long after, the Seven-rank target regained his ability to speak and asked, "Who are you?"
Fang Che did not answer, continuing to control the Seven-rank target to set up the array.
Not long after, the array was successfully set up, and Fang Che immediately controlled the Seven-rank target to release energy and activate the array.
The next second, the Seven-rank target was teleported to the lake bottom space.
As soon as the teleportation was complete, Fang Che bowed towards the Nailhead Seven Arrows Book that was already prepared.
The moment the bowing was complete, the Substitute Talisman Fang Che used to control the target could no longer sense the target's existence.
Fang Che took out the Revenge Evil Mirror, placed the target's information on it, and after injecting energy, the Seven-rank target's corpse immediately appeared on the Revenge Evil Mirror.
Fang Che smiled with satisfaction, activated the spatial array already set up around him, and instantly teleported to the lake bottom space, where he saw the deceased Seven-rank target from the Yan Hai Plane, as well as the materials scattered around him.
Fang Che picked up the materials and checked them one by one, finding that most were invisibility tools and elixirs, a small portion were acceleration escape tools and elixirs, and a very small portion were life-saving tools and elixirs.
There was also a special tool shaped like a fishing rod.
On the fishing rod tool, Fang Che sensed the power of plundering Plane territory!
Fang Che didn't have time to examine it, quickly putting these items and the corpse into an empty storage ring and drawing various arrays to seal the storage ring.
After doing all this, Fang Che set up a small destruction array in the lake bottom space and quickly left.
Not long after Fang Che left, the array automatically activated, releasing a destructive energy that quickly destroyed all traces of Fang Che, as well as various arrays.
This array was destroyed very cleverly, without causing any damage to the Spring Array.
However, as the array set up by Fang Che was destroyed, the Spring Array also lost its array assistance, and its weakness was re-exposed.
Of course, this weakness was the same as before, with no signs of expansion or contraction.
After the lake bottom space lost its array protection, it quickly collapsed, and the lake water poured back in.
A slight ripple appeared on the water's surface, then quickly returned to normal, as if nothing had happened.
At this time, Fang Che had already returned to his own Plane.
After returning to his Plane, Fang Che unhurriedly found the trace of a Six-rank the Criminal and directly teleported to the Plane where the Six-rank the Criminal was located.
After dealing with the Six-rank the Criminal and eliminating the threat to the Plane, Fang Che set up an array and placed the Seven-rank target's corpse in the center below the array.
Then, Fang Che lay in the center above the array and cast the Transformation Array.
As the Transformation Array activated, the array beneath him was also triggered, and a ball of flame instantly enveloped the corpse, burning it to ashes.
After the corpse disappeared, a ball of red mist also enveloped Fang Che.
Fang Che absorbed this red mist, his skin slowly turning red, and his appearance also changing.
When the array stopped, Fang Che had already transformed into the corpse's appearance!
At this moment, Fang Che exuded a strong Yan Hai Plane aura, and people with ordinary Perception would not be able to see through Fang Che's disguise at all.
And this disguise was also the basis for Fang Che to understand the 'Plundering Plane Tool'.
The Plundering Plane Tool was an improved version of the Emperor Plane's tools by the Yan Hai Plane, and it certainly contained many unique methods belonging to the Yan Hai Plane.
To ensure safety, Fang Che hid in this Plane that had little to do with him and disguised himself as a Flame Sea Plane Professional.
This way, even if trouble arose, the impact could be minimized!
Fang Che carefully observed his physical condition, and after confirming that there were no problems, he took out the fishing rod tool, threw it into his Niwan Palace, and silently thought: Observe.
Illusory eyes condensed in his Niwan Palace, carefully observing the condition of the fishing rod tool.
Then Fang Che discovered that the fishing rod tool emitted an invisible destructive aura, attempting to destroy Fang Che's Niwan Palace.
However, Fang Che was now disguised as a Professional from the Yan Hai Plane, and his Niwan Palace also emitted an aura belonging to the Yan Hai Plane.
When the destructive energy in the fishing rod came into contact with the Yan Hai Plane aura, it was instantly neutralized, causing no harm to Fang Che!
Seeing this, Fang Che's face showed a satisfied smile.
Fortunately, he had been cautious before and thought of various countermeasures, otherwise, facing such a method would truly be difficult to handle.
Afterward, Fang Che patiently observed the fishing rod to learn more information.
Fang Che learned that this fishing rod was a one-time use tool; it would become ineffective after plundering a Plane once.
Fang Che continued his Observe, and after some time, he finally understood the refining method of the fishing rod.
To refine a fishing rod, the basic step is to integrate the rules of one Plane devouring another Plane into it.
To achieve this, only the Plane Will can do it personally; Professionals simply do not have this ability.
However, Fang Che was an exception; this method was not difficult for Fang Che.
After solving this problem, the next step was to find a Plane, combine it with various materials, and refine it into a fishing rod.
This matter was also not too difficult for Fang Che.
Firstly, Fang Che did not lack Planes.
Secondly, Fang Che had experience.
Back then, to refine the Creation Coffin, Fang Che had found a Plane as a base.
Of course, now Fang Che was not just content with refining a simple one-time use fishing rod tool; Fang Che was preparing to refine a Curse Tool for long-term use!
+++
Chapter 384 Strengthening the Creation Coffin and the Substitute Puppet
Under the Observe of Illusory Eyes, the disposable fishing rod tool was continuously improved.
The required material standards became higher and higher, and the quantity of materials needed also increased.
By the time the improvement was complete, Fang Che had already obtained a method for refining a Curse Tool capable of plundering Plane territories.
Although the resources needed to refine the tool increased significantly, various ethnic groups had provided Fang Che with many resources during this period. Even if there were lacking resources, he could go to the Iron Hand Group to trade for them.
Fang Che relaxed slightly, then teleported a pile of resources from his Plane and arranged them into an array.
Fang Che threw the fishing rod refined from the Yan Hai Plane into the center of the array and activated the array.
The next second, the array spontaneously generated water flow, corroding the fishing rod.
The fishing rod quickly turned into a puddle of liquid, and the aura belonging to the Yan Hai Plane completely disappeared. Even if this puddle of liquid were thrown into the Yan Hai Plane now, the Yan Hai Plane Will would find it difficult to detect.
That Fang Che was able to achieve this step was also thanks to Illusory Eyes finding the loophole in the fishing rod; otherwise, it would have been truly difficult to resolve.
After resolving the fishing rod, Fang Che stopped using the Transformation Array. The red mist detached from Fang Che's body and slowly dissipated, and Fang Che returned to his previous appearance.
Subsequently, Fang Che opened space channels in this Plane, connecting to his own Plane, and dispersed these space channels near various ethnic groups.
After completing these tasks, Fang Che returned to his own Plane to check the resources stored at the bottom of the sea.
Most of these resources were obtained by various ethnic groups invading Other Planes, while a small portion consisted of resources provided by Six-Order Professionals who had completed Plane missions after creating Skills Creation.
Over the past period, many Six-Order Professionals who had created Skills Creation completed Plane invasion missions. Of course, two unfortunate individuals also died during the mission.
Their ethnic groups quickly cultivated new Six-Order Professionals who had created Skills Creation, maintaining consistency with the strength of other ethnic groups.
Regarding these two newly appeared Six-Order Professionals, Fang Che did not give them any preferential treatment. He still assigned them the task of invading Planes and forbade them from using Plane resources.
Fang Che briefly recalled the source of the resources and quickly began to select suitable materials.
Before long, eighty percent of the materials for refining the fishing rod tool were gathered. The remaining twenty percent that could not be gathered were all very precious materials.
Fang Che recorded the information of these missing twenty percent of materials on a list, then picked up the reinforcement materials to reinforce the existing Curse Tool.
After one resource after another was used up, two tools finally received reinforcement.
The first reinforced tool was the Creation Coffin, which Fang Che cared about the most.
"After a Professional is injured, he lies in the Creation Coffin, and the Creation Coffin can absorb external curse energy to heal his injuries;
If a Professional dies, the teleportation function will be automatically activated, teleporting the corpse into the coffin, restoring the Professional's life state to a youthful state, and allowing him to live another life;
After the Professional is resurrected, his strength will regress to Seven-rank. At the same time, the Curse Tool refined at Seven-rank and before will revert to its newly refined state, and all other Curse Tools will be shattered;
After the Professional is resurrected, his Plane cannot be retained and will automatically degrade into a Real Domain. This Real Domain can be re-promoted to a basic Plane after fusing with Other Planes;
After the Professional is resurrected, newly created Professional skills can still be retained, but the skills will only take effect after obtaining the basic Plane's skill-carrying capacity;
If the Creation Coffin is placed in a Plane controlled by a Professional, it can enhance the Plane's recovery ability. If the Plane is damaged, it can be restored through the Creation Coffin."
After being reinforced, the Creation Coffin's effect was upgraded from Six-Order to Seven-rank, once again matching Fang Che's realm.
Fang Che decided to refine the fishing rod tool that plunders Planes when he reached Seven-rank, so he could also enjoy the ability bonus of the Creation Coffin.
In addition to the Creation Coffin being reinforced, the second reinforced tool was the Substitute Puppet.
"The Substitute Puppet can be dispersed into one core Talisman and forty-eight Substitute Talismans. Integrating a Substitute Talisman into any Professional's body can treat the Professional as a substitute;
When the user suffers fatal damage, the core Talisman can transfer the damage to any substitute's body, and the substitute bears the fatal damage;
When the Substitute Talisman is stationary, the Plane Will is difficult to detect;
If the surrounding enemy's Real Domain range is smaller than the Real Domain, the Substitute Talisman cannot be discovered;
After the Substitute Talisman is integrated into a Professional's body, the Professional's body can be controlled through the Substitute Puppet;
When multiple Substitute Talismans are stacked on a single target simultaneously, the Professional finds it difficult to break free. For each additional Substitute Talisman, the difficulty of breaking free increases by ten percent."
The Substitute Puppet was a tool Fang Che refined a long time ago.
Although the Substitute Puppet was appreciated by the Emperor Plane Will, this tool was not very important in Fang Che's eyes.
Because Fang Che had always been very cautious and had not encountered any life-and-death crises, he hardly ever used this tool.
Therefore, Fang Che had not specifically collected tools to reinforce the Substitute Puppet, always reinforcing it as fate would have it.
After this reinforcement, the Substitute Puppet could control substitutes regardless of their profession. However, the limit of forty-eight substitutes still restricted the Substitute Puppet, making its effect relatively ordinary.
Fortunately, the Substitute Puppet gained the ability to stack and enhance, allowing forty-eight Talismans to control one target, reducing the target's escape probability.
If he encountered the Seven-rank Professional from the Yan Hai Plane again, he would not have to worry about him breaking free from control.
All in all, this reinforcement of the Substitute Puppet was quite good.
After Fang Che put away the two tools, he also put away a pile of materials and returned directly to the Emperor Plane.
He returned to the safe zone that Fang Che had long prepared.
Fang Che still used this safe zone as a transit station. However, this time Fang Che did not teleport to the front line but to the Iron Hand Group area.
Fang Che walked out of the Mission Hall in the Iron Hand Group area, observed the surrounding changes, and after confirming there was no danger, immediately went to the Iron Hand Group and knocked on Li Xing's door.
Li Xing opened the door, and Fang Che immediately cupped his hands and said, "Brother Li, it's been a long time."
Li Xing cupped his hands in return and smiled, "It has indeed been a long time. Let's talk inside the room."
The two quickly entered the room and closed the door.
Then, Li Xing asked, "What do you need my help with this time?"
Fang Che immediately took out the list and the storage ring containing the resources and said, "I need to exchange for these materials."
Li Xing took the list, checked it, and then checked the resources inside the storage ring, smiling:
"The resources you brought are a bit ordinary, but the resources you need are very precious. How about you help other groups simplify some defensive arrays again?"
This condition was not requested by other groups, but mainly to prevent Fang Che from dealing with the Seven-rank Professional from the Yan Hai Plane.
During this time, Li Xing had heard about the terror of the Seven-rank Professional from the Yan Hai Plane, and many people had died at his hands.
To protect Fang Che and prevent him from directly confronting the Seven-rank Professional, Li Xing did not communicate with Fang Che about this matter.
Now that Fang Che needed resources, it was a good opportunity to distract him.
+++
Chapter 385 Old acquaintance Gao Ping
Fang Che didn't know Li Xing's thoughts, and even if he did, it wouldn't matter.
Now that Fang Che knew how to create a fishing rod to invade a Plane, there was no need to contact the Seven-rank Professional of the Yan Hai Plane again.
Moreover, Fang Che had waited a long time to safely contact the first Seven-rank Professional of the Yan Hai Plane.
With this time, he could also gain considerable benefits by doing other things.
Additionally, even if Fang Che eliminated the Seven-rank Professional of the Yan Hai Plane, he wouldn't exchange the corpse for rewards to avoid exposing his methods.
In short, it was better to do something else.
Fang Che said, "I am willing to help other groups simplify their defensive formations. Let's complete the simplification of ten defensive formations first."
Li Xing smiled upon hearing this and said, "I'll contact them right away."
Li Xing took out ten communication tokens, activated them simultaneously, and said, "The Iron Hand Group is willing to help you simplify your defensive formation. Please transmit the defensive formation as soon as possible."
After transmitting the message, Li Xing said, "These ten people value the simplification of formations more, and they offered the highest price, so we'll choose them first.
While they are preparing the formations, I will give you some of the resources you need first."
Then, Li Xing opened his storage ring, taking out resources while saying,
"Among the materials you need, there are many obscure resources. Not many people use these obscure resources, but their value is similar to popular resources.
If we buy them directly, others will think we urgently need the resources and will definitely raise prices arbitrarily.
Therefore, I won't ask other groups for these resources. I will give you the materials that the Iron Hand Group has stockpiled before, and I can also give you a discount on the price."
Fang Che said, "Thank you, Brother Li."
"You're welcome." Li Xing quickly prepared some materials, placed them in front of Fang Che, and said, "Your resources can only be exchanged for these."
"Thank you." Fang Che nodded and put away the resources.
Seeing that Fang Che had no objections, Li Xing also put away Fang Che's resources.
At this moment, a knock on the door sounded, and a voice from outside said, "Vice Leader, ten groups have contacted me about the formation simplification. The specific information is ready."
Li Xing said, "The door is not closed, come in."
The next second, the door opened, and an acquaintance of Fang Che walked in.
This person was General Gao Ping, the Translation Master who had invited Fang Che to join the Iron Hand Group.
General Gao Ping felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Fang Che.
When they first met, both had Third-rank strength.
Now, General Gao Ping had reached Fifth-rank strength with the opportunity of the Plane War.
However, this achievement was not worth mentioning in front of Fang Che.
Now Fang Che had been promoted to Seven-rank, and he had even contributed a lot in the process of saving the Leader, making him an important figure in the Iron Hand Group.
The difference between the two was so great that General Gao Ping had no motivation to catch up, especially since General Gao Ping himself did not like cultivation and preferred negotiation.
Therefore, General Gao Ping didn't pay too much attention to Fang Che's strength.
However, meeting suddenly this time, General Gao Ping felt an indescribable feeling in his heart, feeling very uncomfortable.
However, General Gao Ping quickly adjusted his mindset, entered the room, and respectfully said, "Greetings, Vice Leader, greetings, Senior Fang."
Fang Che heard this, got up and returned the greeting, saying, "We are friends, there's no need to be so polite. If you hadn't helped me join the Iron Hand Group back then, I wouldn't have achieved what I have today."
General Gao Ping was excited to hear this.
General Gao Ping knew that Fang Che was being humble.
After all, many people joined the Iron Hand Group, so how could only one Fang Che develop so quickly?
However, as long as Fang Che's words could be spread, he would gain a backer, and his future development speed would definitely accelerate.
Even if it didn't spread, Vice Leader Li Xing was still there.
Fang Che was no longer the Third-rank Temporary Plane Son he used to be, but a strong person on par with Li Xing, incomparable to before!
And Li Xing, hearing Fang Che's words from the side, also stood up and smiled:
"General Gao Ping is an important helper of mine and has provided me with a lot of assistance. He is the best at things like negotiations.
For example, in the task of simplifying other groups' defensive formations, he can always secure the greatest benefits in the shortest time. If it were anyone else, they wouldn't be able to complete the negotiation task now."
General Gao Ping was even more excited to hear this.
Tasks like simplifying formations had no negotiation difficulty at all; other groups were already impatient.
General Gao Ping knew that Li Xing's words were clearly due to Fang Che's attitude.
Without Fang Che's words, General Gao Ping would only be a messenger and would not be noticed at all.
With Li Xing's praise, General Gao Ping would definitely be given important responsibilities in the future!
Of course, now was not the time to be excited. He needed to do his job well and not make people dislike him.
So, General Gao Ping very humbly said, "Junior is just luckier than other colleagues. This contains the mission information of ten groups. Please review it, Vice Leader and Senior."
At this point, General Gao Ping handed a storage ring to Li Xing.
Li Xing took the storage ring, smiled, and said, "You've worked hard. You may go."
General Gao Ping respectfully said, "Junior takes his leave."
General Gao Ping quickly left. Fang Che looked at General Gao Ping's retreating back and said nothing more.
Fang Che's attitude just now had already provided enough help to this old acquaintance. If he showed more attitude, it would no longer be help, but a burden.
If General Gao Ping felt that Fang Che had a good attitude and constantly sought Fang Che's help, Fang Che would probably be annoyed to death.
Even if General Gao Ping had a sense of propriety, those close to General Gao Ping might not.
And Li Xing did not continue to discuss General Gao Ping's matter. To get closer to Fang Che, he still needed to provide help to Fang Che.
As for General Gao Ping, giving appropriate attention was enough, not worth bringing up.
After Li Xing checked the information in the storage ring, he handed the storage ring to Fang Che and said,
"These groups are like the previous ones; they all sealed the formations in wooden boxes. There's nothing special."
Fang Che put away the storage ring and said, "I will complete the task as soon as possible. If there's nothing else, I'll take my leave."
Li Xing said, "The Iron Hand Group will be distributing dividends again in a while. I won't notify you. Just come and collect it directly after you simplify the defensive formations."
Fang Che nodded and said, "Okay, goodbye."
Afterward, Fang Che left the Iron Hand Group, found a hidden place to check the information of the defensive formations, and then returned to his own Plane to begin simplifying the formations.
While Fang Che was simplifying the formations, he also did not forget to search for Six-rank the Criminals.
Fang Che quickly condensed space channels and placed them near various ethnic groups.
These space channels seemed easy to find, as if they were endless, but this was actually because all the Criminals who survived possessed a Plane.
When the Criminals decrease in the future, or when the Emperor Plane Will no longer issues these tasks, Fang Che will find it difficult to find new Planes.
Fortunately, the fishing rod for plundering Planes appeared. In the future, even if he couldn't find Planes through the Criminals, he could still plunder the Yan Hai Plane territory.
