Chapter 477

NO．60：What else could be the deadline for this selection, oh!

Nengtianshi：【Lin Dun Lin Dun, you have two packages!

Why not come directly to the company to pick it up？】

Kesong：【How does this scene look so strange？】

Dekesasisi：【We've also received packages before, right？】

Kesong：【Dekesasisi, you don't really get this, huh! This just shows you also have this feeling！】

Mositima：【This actually doesn't matter, the main thing is to let the boss see it……】

Nengtianshi：【I discussed with Yinsi a bit, if you treat me and him to a meal, I can help you cover these records, Lin Dun】

Lindun：【No problem, I'll give you another wage, send it to me】

Nengtianshi：【?! Dekesasisi, Mositima, did you see that？】

Kesong：【What about me？】

Kong：【And me？】

Nengtianshi：【No, you two might not understand, especially Kong, you've always been in Heaven Gate City, right? And you're not familiar with Lin Dun boss, right？】

【So you definitely can't intuitively feel this kind of… this kind of… this kind of anomalous scene！】

【Yes, that's right, it's an anomaly! This is a new term I learned here! It was taught by a few veteran employees！】

Kong：【Eh? Do we have veteran employees？】

Dekesasisi：【At the headquarters here, there are a few new employees over fifty years old; in terms of species, they are considered elderly, but they seem to be considering longevity through source energy cultivation】

Kong：【Eh? Why would this situation come to apply for a job？】

Mositima：【Hmm… the other party calls themselves an old second-dimensional person, and mentioned that they ultimately want to jump to Luodao】

Kong: 【Uh... transmigrator?】

Texas: 【Yes, transmigrator】

Kong: 【Alright then】

Able Angel: 【Off-topic, off-topic! I wasn't explaining to Kong why Boss Lin Dun treating guests and adding extra payment is so weird!】

Lin Dun: 【Able Angel】

Able Angel: 【Hi!】

——Able Angel withdrew a message——

【Sorry for the mistake, I definitely didn't badmouth Boss Lin Dun!】

Lin Dun: 【Switching between Jidong and Eastflame still needs to be more flexible; also, I came specially to confirm whether you'll take this job. If really not possible, I'll still come volunteer.】

Able Angel: 【Accept accept accept!】

Able Angel: 【The recent boundary gate area is really boring, Boss Lin Dun, do you have any fun activities?】

Lin Dun: 【Boring? I actually think trouble is everywhere; you might lack some connections.】

Mos Tim Ma: 【For example?】

Lin Dun: 【For example, all kinds of online news; this has long been a focus of the Detective profession.】

Ke Song: 【Everyone gets this method, but we're not Detectives; there's no need to get involved in simple trouble, and there's no money to be made.】

Lin Dun: 【Hard to say.】

Ke Song: 【Any money-making avenues?】

Lin Dun: 【I mean—saying 'simple trouble doesn't need to be gotten into' is not easy to say.】

【Able Angel, you don't care about not getting paid, right?】

Ke Song: 【Uh… that's true, but if you have her ponder those news and then find something to do, she doesn't have that patience, right?】

Able Angel: 【? You're dissing me to my face like this?! Why describe me as a sucker?】

Lin Dun: 【If you have questions, ask Ke Song; since you've confirmed acceptance, I'll go underground first. If anything comes up, private chat me. Also remember to have the courier's secret document drafted at the company—I don't have the relevant seal here.】

Able Angel: 【That kind of thing won't happen again……How long have you been peeking at the screen?】

Lin Dun: 【Is it possible for me to check the message log?】

——

The deliberate mention of confidence in tonight's delivery naturally stems from actual contact.

As a temporary worker at Penguin Logistics, a certain demon hasn't gone to work for over half a month.

The delivery is still handled by Penguin Logistics, to prove they still remember the home team, providing a minuscule contribution to the company's performance.

Feeling ashamed, although the shame is only that small (comparable to a thumb).

Relying on this shame, Aomo didn't even mention those alien invaders to the Penguin Logistics people.

So as not to add more traces of Penguin Logistics, and even Rod Island Pharmaceutical Company, into the already chaotic invader base.

In peaceful times, enthusiastic groups are always many.

Do-gooders are even more numerous.

Rod Island Company is undoubtedly an enthusiastic group, whether in its reputation for charitable donations or the number of times employees are commended for righteous bravery, both prove this otherworldly company's stance on shaping its external image.

But they haven't taken any action yet.

Many organizations like theirs also haven't taken action yet.

Just being enthusiastic isn't a reason for action.

The intense confrontation happening in the online world, just like an interstellar border war, makes people lack a sense of reality to some extent.

Even from a long-term perspective, this can practically be called an interstellar war, even the fuse of a two-world war.

Stopping it also counts as saving the world, without exaggeration.

But in this world, 'saving the world' is actually a dirt-cheap word.

The digital world could have several crises that endanger the world.

Even if the monster exhibition's Geliza is left unattended, it could still be reported in this way.

It's not necessarily such a fragile world, yet people always label it as needing salvation, and now……

This extremely dangerous case, which hasn't even gotten off the ground, is a war taking place above the tertiary network and beneath the dark web.

Its destruction, its aftermath, not even able to disturb the surface web where social media, search engines, and public sites operate.

It's completely insufficient to attract attention.

Unless organization or company members are directly involved, these organizations have no reason to take large-scale action.

Then let's just leave it like that for now……

Miss Shi Huaiya naturally is an informed party in this case, and Rhodes Island, that giant corporation which has split its various functional departments, also indeed has an intelligence department.

Aomo gave him a hint, but also didn't directly give the chance for the angels to intervene; this is the position he has shown.

Regarding this, he has sufficient self-awareness.

Originally he was just an insignificant independent mercenary, not worth the notice of those big corporations.

He himself also didn't pay attention to this.

But his meeting with Lipiya made him react——even if he was previously unnoticed, after being personally contacted and summoned by Commander Buckley……

"Qian, how many organizations do you think are watching me now?"

Aomo, seated at the table, fiddled with the coffee cup's handle; in his lowered eyelids was still the computer screen's 'Swaying Camp'.

That was the Qianming representative and Zhouri Ningjing after they regrouped.

——Although they were still in the dangerous base city, they also decided to take a brief rest.

Rather, they should have rested earlier.

Under the condition that the two sides' sense of time differs, Aomo could only learn from the Belsta Beast's report that over there it had already been several days of nonstop activity.

Those Chaldea servants can still rotate shifts, while the Ultraman warriors of the Land of Light are the ultimate iron men.

And that certain individual who attacks directly in a spiritual form, the dark Zhouri, can likewise call himself an iron man.

The Qianming representative, who early embarked on the path of source energy sublimation, is likewise not inferior.

But mental fatigue does exist; everyone has times when they need to drink water and eat a meal.

Moreover, adjusting Chazuo's state also requires Zhouri Ningjing's quiet cooperation.

And among this, what's worth mentioning further is……

A certain digital beast not usually counted among the office residents is able to make Suzi overjoyed as a tea party.

Therefore, Aomo specially greeted Suzi and Bofang after dinner.

Prepare tea, biscuits, and pudding.

Aomo will not shortchange his own people.

The Belsta Beast, who has been working as a photographer for several days, needs to be rewarded.

Now is also a good time for this.

The screen shows a recording; the photographer just reached out from the screen and took the tea cup and dessert on the table.

It looks like Sadako from the hairy person thing, but nobody indoors minds.

The demon remains unfazed, and the JK stays still.

"How would I know?"

The pink-haired JK sitting cross-legged on the bed is still examining the scattered cards on the tray, her hand gripping the Eye Q version.

"Anyway, once you meet that commander, you'll directly fall into the sight of all those watching."

"You're famous again~ Little Snake." She teasingly held up the card borrowed from Chazuo, her earnest gaze looking quite pleased as well.

"In a couple days you'll probably be even more famous, which is also good for a mercenary."

"In a couple days…" Aomo turned his head upon hearing that, his eyes showing quite a bit of surprise.

"You guessed what would happen?"

"Of course, tomorrow's Chazuo competition, the day after that Bofang and Suzi," the girl slightly lowered the card, giving the youth a hostile look, "new trainer, this time we'll fame together with the three horse girls~"

"……" Aomo's eyes slightly lifted at the mention of the match, but then turned suspicious; he simply turned the swivel chair around, saying, "I feel like you have ulterior motives."

"Huh? How can you say that? I'm just a harmless high school girl~" She raised the long sleeve covering half her palm, swaying it feigningly, the girl slightly leaned back innocently, propping on the bed board, "By the way, Little Snake, does your bed have a problem?"

"A firm bed is better for the body." Aomo could fully guess what she was referring to.

"Sigh."

"What sigh?"

"This world clearly looks futuristic and also fun."

"And then?"

"Little Snake, you're a native of this world, yet you always speak like an old-fashioned old-timer from your hometown."

"Not futuristic enough, not fun enough—I'm really sorry—would using this Jidong tone satisfy you?"

"Sixty-five points~"

"Sounds pretty disappointing."

Aomo turned away indifferently, but then turned his head back again after two or three seconds.

"What you just said: it's also good for a mercenary, right?"

"I don't remember; I've been staying up late a lot lately, so I'm forgetful." The girl said, then lay down on her side.

"Then go sleep in your own room." The youth's tone was calm as still water, and he turned back toward the computer screen again.

"To say such a thing to a high school girl lying on your bed……"

"A high school girl lying on your bed is precisely a dangerous example; I'll first make a video to show the police my innocence." Aomo said, and indeed tapped the camera mounted on his computer.

Thus, the girl's smile also became somewhat forced.

"Ahaha... I am really speechless towards you."

"Hearing this, I always feel like I'm going to get stabbed by a small knife."

"I still need to find a small knife that can pierce the little snake's body; ah, the Beta Magic Blade would be suitable, but I feel that stabbing it in would cause the little snake to transform."

"It's really creepy to the point where you can't tell if it's true or false; has my magic blade been adjusted?"

"All right, it can be used anytime! But I still suggest you use it before the day after tomorrow."

"Again, the day after tomorrow?"

"Aomo frowned, thinking the other party had guessed his plan, but this emphasis on the two days… aside from the base, what else could happen these two days?"
