Congratulations, "Zhang Heng said.
"Thank you." Xu Qian accepted someone's blessing, took two more sips of tea, and then put down the teacup. "In terms of competitors, I can give you a lot of names. After all, as long as they are as popular as me, they are my potential competitors. And there are countless small streamers waiting to be promoted. However, the competition between us is not too fierce. The ones who are fierce are those who have the same style and popularity as me. I can give you a few names."
"Huh?"
Xu Qian opened her wristband, quickly selected a few business cards from her address book, and sent them to Zhang Heng.
"I've considered this possibility before, because I've thought about it. If there really is someone following me, it can only be someone they hired. It's probably a private detective or something like that. They want to dig up some dirt on me and spread it on the internet to make my popularity drop. Sometimes, some people in this industry will do anything to get ahead."
Zhang Heng clicked on the email and glanced at it.
"Is there anything else you want to ask?" Xu Qian asked.
"That's all for the time being. I will look into the list you gave me first," Zhang Heng said.
Xu Qian's eyes widened when she heard that. She seemed a little surprised. "In addition to protecting my personal safety, G7Z's bodyguards are also responsible for investigating who is stalking me?"
In fact, Xu Qian had some doubts when Zhang Heng asked her. It was the first time she met a bodyguard who collected such detailed information. He did not look like a bodyguard at all, but more like a private detective. At that time, she thought it was necessary to formulate a security plan. She did not expect that the other party really wanted to investigate her.
Zhang Heng's expression did not change. "Oh, didn't the company tell you about my style of doing things? Compared to passive defense, I prefer to take the initiative to attack."
"Uh … I didn't ask too much. They just gave me a price list and told me which level of bodyguard corresponds to which level of expenditure. Anyway …" Xu Qian seemed to think of something when she said that. She paused and added, "Anyway, I paid them directly. It's up to you. You can investigate if you want, but you can only go out to investigate when I'm streaming. And you must come back at night. When I go out, you must accompany me to ensure my safety."
"No problem," Zhang Heng said.
He took the initiative to investigate, not only to solve the problem that Xu Qian encountered, but also to take this opportunity to go out and find the whereabouts of the shellac records. Although he had 240 more days of game time than the ordinary players, and this quest seemed to be safe at the moment.
However, Zhang Heng did not intend to waste time. He planned to investigate while looking for the shellac records' whereabouts.
Xu Qian was satisfied with Zhang Heng's answer. "Very well. Then I will have to trouble you to stay with me for the next two weeks. The master bedroom is my room, and I will use the second bedroom for work. So, I will have to trouble you to sleep on the sofa. However, my sofa is a high-end product. It is more comfortable than many of the beds on the first and second floors. It can also be reassembled.
"Alright."
Zhang Heng didn't care much about where he lived. He had slept in a hammock that kept rocking on the sea, and he had even slept in his own cabin. He wasn't here for a vacation. All he wanted was a place to shelter him from the wind and rain.
Xu Qian stood up from the sofa and stretched. "I have already ordered the bedding for you. The express delivery will arrive in a while. You can buy your daily necessities and clothes by yourself. I will be broadcasting my show soon. According to our agreement, you can go out, but you have to come back before 12 o 'clock in the evening. That's all."
Xu Qian then stretched out her hand. "I hope we can get along well in the next two weeks."
"I will find out who is stalking you." Zhang Heng shook Xu Qian's hand.
"That's for the best." Having said that, Xu Qian obviously did not believe in Zhang Heng's promise. "There is still some time. I will take a nap first. You can do whatever you want."
Xu Qian then walked into the master bedroom, and the door of the master bedroom showed that it was locked.
About a quarter of an hour later, a drone carrying a package flew to the window, and Zhang Heng received a message asking if he wanted to accept the package. After he clicked confirm, the upper part of the floor-to-ceiling window opened, allowing the drone to fly in.
The drone placed the package against the wall of the living room, played some music, and flew out through the open window.
About twenty minutes later, Xu Qian yawned and walked out of the bedroom. She then glanced at the package in the corner, "Have you received the package? Then you can go out now. "
"Well, contact me if you need anything." Zhang Heng picked up the Shrouded Sheath and the Pestilence Bone Bow at his feet and said goodbye to Xu Qian.
…
On the first day he went out, Zhang Heng did not immediately investigate. Instead, he focused on familiarizing himself with the city.
He walked out of the Yacheng Community and came to the street outside. Xu Qian's room was on the inside of the giant dome, and the floor-to-ceiling window did not face the street. This was the first time Zhang Heng saw the outside world.
The entire third level was designed to look very high-tech. There were tall buildings everywhere, and the sidewalks and middle roads were very spacious. However, unlike the futuristic city in Silver Winged Runner, Zhang Heng did not see any levitating cars above his head. The cars on the road were still four-wheeled, but the gasoline cars had been eliminated, and all of them were powered by new energy.
As for the space in the air, it was reserved for the suspended light rail, which was also the main means of public transportation on the third level. Apart from that, all kinds of billboards could be seen everywhere, just like in Blade Runner. The billboards used projection technology to continuously broadcast advertisements.
From the Automatic Shaver to the chocolate cake, everything looked very tempting to buy.
But overall, the atmosphere of the third level was still sunny, especially the people on the road. Everyone looked quite confident, walking in a hurry with their chests out, chests up, and heads up. It seemed like they were full of confidence for the future.
The greenery on both sides of the road was also done very well. Coupled with the extremely realistic mimicry of the sky, the people living here did not feel depressed at all.
It was almost dusk now, and the light was getting darker.
Zhang Heng stood at the crossroads, thinking about where he should go for dinner later. He had been fiddling with his bracelet for a while, figuring out the basic functions of it.
The good news was that although the technological level of this quest was obviously higher than the real world, it was not so much that he could not understand it. After all, the current time was only 2077, which meant that most of the criminal investigation methods Zhang Heng mastered could still come in handy.
