Chapter 110: Give it some use, Morrison!

~8 min read 1,489 words

In others' eyes, Aomo's many decisions seemed overly hasty; clearly he usually thought of taking it easy, but when faced with a problem he became frantic.

He seemed like someone who never had difficulty making choices.

LOL, it's not only not difficult, he even chooses quickly.

But he had indeed thought it through, after all those problems aren't something you can avoid by not thinking about them.

So…

【Commission: Let me see how far you can go】

"B-rank... Miss Zhouri Ningjing really is energetic, although this is also related to the commission content..."

Late at night at the Lindun residence, Aomo examined the two commission files on the screen, mainly marveling at the first one.

First, for a B-rank commission, if it weren't designated, Aomo, such a newcomer just entering the field, wouldn't even meet the viewing threshold and wouldn't appear in his viewable list.

Second, the commission rank is partly decided by the Mercenary Central Station, and partly it also requires the commissioner's credentials and worth.

A small-time thug couldn't possibly post an A-rank commission; it's less about the reward money and more about whether their reputation and worth can guarantee the commission's authenticity.

Those who can issue B-rank commissions are all big shots with considerable influence; Aomo is increasingly suspecting that Zhouri Ningjing indeed has some notable status in the gray zone, yet she still gets her hands dirty... She says she's "acting on someone's behalf," and Aomo tentatively assumes that "someone" is just a face-saving fruit.

Or maybe she really is just idle…

But no matter what, she's a major client.

Aomo glanced at the commission's basic guarantee, which was six figures, and instantly his mental exhaustion was cured.

Moreover, having such commission credentials would significantly boost the agency's reputation—provided the agency has already been established.

These past couple days he's actually been sneaking glances at various storefronts during his busy schedule, already having some ideas for the agency's location; even this afternoon, while supervising Suzi and Bo Fang's training, he mentioned it, and those two unexpectedly showed interest, directly proposing to accompany him then.

That's not impossible either.

Cleaning up a one-person office is also a hassle; Aomo secretly harbored the idea of hiring two laborers to clean the rooms, so that if any unexpected situation arose later he could easily find himself, and thus simply agreed.

On Saturday he went on a mission with David and his friends; on Sunday he went to watch the Jidong Derby, then later went to look at the agency's storefront and discuss renovation topics.

Perfect!

A fulfilling weekend just passed like that!

Wait...!

Weekend off?

Aomo thought and thought, suddenly realizing this was a dead holiday, and he became sad all over.

Did I smash my weekend off?

I didn't have time to read my favorite anarchist novel, and the monster brawl game I'd agreed to play with Kailifu wasn't played either; tomorrow there's even a version update.

Finally, I couldn't even catch up on movies and anime.

What's going on?

"Not turning on the lights late at night, are you training your night vision here?" Suddenly the voice came, causing Aomo's field of vision to narrow, and he saw a chibi figure pop up on the computer screen.

"I thought you'd been drowned by a feces beast." Aomo's voice was neutral.

"Pah!" Morrison exclaimed, as if the one who first spoke nonsense wasn't himself, "I just stayed too long in the data maze, and was also interfered with by a suddenly appearing troublesome woman; Yuger Company is at least a legitimate company, its gates are guarded by guard beasts and Andulu beasts, how could it be a cesspool?"

"Tell me more about the troublesome woman."

"What? Isn't Tresen's little girl enough for you?"

"Mainly because I remember that the pets in the electronic farm have a breeding function."

"I want to become the game's top player; women are just in the way!"

"So who is it?"

"Mu Hai Xingzi."

"Oh, next topic."

Mu Hai Xingzi, the head of Mu Hai Detective Agency, is also a famous cyber hacker who gets along with both the gray and white worlds; more impressive than her mature, fiery clothing style is her impartial, cold demeanor, her deep understanding of Digimon, and her terrible coffee-making skills.

Because she's a renowned cyber hacker and detective, Morrison has also worked with her when needed; Aomo, meanwhile, visited her out of curiosity about Digimon's existence, and then... being too young, he fell for her trick and drank the coffee she brewed.

Honestly, Aomo doesn't care about her clothing style or personality; in fact, he gets along quite well with that personality, and the only one he finds troublesome is Morrison.

But that coffee's taste is indescribable, to the extent that when Aomo thinks of her, the first thing that comes to mind is neither her outstanding ability nor her attractive appearance——

——but the coffee that makes him see the real underworld.

【I achieved a good result in the resurrection race, beating Hades in 15min52s; you should try it too】by Aomo Lindun.

Skip skip!

"The next topic is the harvest; what I'm about to say next, don't get scared!"

"You say."

"Yuger Company is researching monsters!"

Oh, anything else?

What else? I was counter‑attacked by at least eight cyber hackers; just knowing this much is already impressive, okay! And isn't this exactly the point you're best at electrifying?

But I already knew; if you had told me two hours earlier, I would still have been excited a bit.

Two hours?

Yes.

Where did you find out?

Talking about this is just a hassle.

Long story short.

Look behind you; the commission file is right behind your layer.

……

Molisen is nagging again.

He says things like 'This is dangerous', 'You're not the type who's used to taking things step by step, so why bother?' Then comes incomprehensible talk like 'Hell is paved with good intentions' and 'The real danger is that the soul can't be pieced together'.

He's always worried that Aomo will absentmindedly take his teammate's spot.

After dying once, the biggest impact on him was realizing how fragile life is.

He died from an unexpected event that exceeded expectations, dying easily; seeing Aomo apply for a trainer would have made him extremely happy, especially since Aomo's start was so wonderful it could be said to have broken the conventional impression of new‑trainer attitudes, and he could already picture Aomo's stable life—but then Aomo stayed 'law‑abiding' for two days and took on two jobs directly.

That's basically giving him a whole big job.

A stable life? Doesn't exist!

Since confirming his childhood dream, he's been destined not to have a stable life; Aomo, just like back in Heaven Gate City, doesn't listen to his words, but at least he didn't turn Molisen. exe's volume all the way down.

Originally it was because the other person was spouting nonsense; now it's all earnest advice, really hard to mute, after all Aomo rarely gets to see Molisen's parents—Heaven Gate City was one of those rare chances, but back then he was racing against time.

Today there's really nothing to argue about.

Meipubofang and Ailisuzhi's training plan hasn't changed much, no need for overtime; the Edge Runner mercenary team's info has also been received, no rush to make extra preparations, just waiting for the day after tomorrow to head out.

As for the investigation commission from Yogeer Limited Company, it's a long‑term commission; he knows Zhouri Ningjing mainly values what he said last—helping her look after her easily‑runaway sister as an informed party.

It's basically spending a lot of money to hire a campus guardian for her sister, rather than expecting him to produce any investigative results.

But the other side seems to still hold some hope, so the commission still contains an 【information document】 available for viewing.

So far, all the intelligence Zhouri Ningjing has gathered— the most valuable of which is clearly a 'ticket'.

A string of numbers, a string of numbers entered into a spiritual ritual.

It can open the door to that specific place.

So let's rest early tonight……

In Molisen's sighs, Aomo thought to himself:

He decided to wash up early and enter the 'dreamland'.
