"Master, should we accept this mission or not?" Zhou Yingxue asked. Now that there were missions, it was not up to her to choose. After all, Ren Xiaosu was the one who was supposed to handle the missions.
In the end, Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue and said, "We're very democratic between us. Do you want to accept it?"
Zhou Yingxue said, "I feel that although this mission is simple and only involves protecting a female singer, the duration of the mission is too long. She'll have to pass through more than 30 strongholds, and she didn't specify how many performances she'll have to perform. That long duration is enough for us to complete several missions."
Ren Xiaosu nodded. "Then let's accept it!"
Zhou Yingxue was speechless.
Instantly, Zhou Yingxue was dumbfounded. 'Master, do you not understand human language? I clearly don't want to accept it! '
Zhou Yingxue said, "Master, I'd like to rest for a while longer."
"People will get sick when they rest." Ren Xiaosu patiently enlightened her. "Think about it. Although this mission is going to take a long time, the reward she's offering is also very high. It's two million yuan!"
"Master, since when did you become the kind of person who cares about two million yuan?" Zhou Yingxue asked in disbelief.
"See, you still don't know me well enough. Alright, reply to the text and send her your selfie as well. In any case, you've already reported your identity to the Anjing House when you were an A-rank hitman," Ren Xiaosu decided.
Zhou Yingxue curled her lips and took a selfie. Then she replied to the text to accept the mission.
Ren Xiaosu thought for a moment. Zhou Yingxue used to specialize in intelligence work and was even responsible for protecting important members of the Yang Clan. The Anjing House knew about Zhou Yingxue's identity, so the probability of Zhou Yingxue receiving the mission was very high.
The other party's reply came very quickly: "We have received the task application. Please wait patiently. We need the employer to select the candidate. Don't worry, the photo will only be used to verify your identity and will not be handed over to the employer for recording. In view of your previous work experience and good reputation for completing tasks, we will give you priority to the employer."
Ren Xiaosu raised his eyebrows. The Anjing House's reply was quite polite. They kept addressing him as "you."
However, it seemed that they had to wait a little longer. This time, they still had to wait for the employer to choose.
The days calmed down again. Zhou Yingxue went out shopping every day. The prosperity of this black market was incomparable to that of the stronghold. 70% of the people who came here carried a lot of cash with them.
Moreover, these people could not go to the normal strongholds to purchase property, so they could only spend their money here.
As such, the black market specially designed a whole set of consumer industries for them, including casinos, brothels, and even invited some of the stronghold's celebrities to perform. There was also Zhou Yingxue's favorite industry … jewelry.
Ren Xiaosu did some calculations. Based on Zhou Yingxue's current rate of buying a piece of jewelry every three days, if the female singer did not hurry over, Zhou Yingxue might very well go bankrupt.
At this moment, Ren Xiaosu was reading a book while lying on the sofa next to the floor-to-ceiling window. Next to him, Zhou Yingxue happily showed him a diamond ring on her finger. "Master, does it look good? I heard someone dug this out from under the ruins from before The Cataclysm. After The Cataclysm, the diamond was still perfectly preserved. Don't you think it's amazing? "
Ren Xiaosu wondered, "What's so amazing about it?"
By the time Zhou Yingxue showed him the other pieces of jewelry, Ren Xiaosu had already turned a deaf ear to her and was concentrating on his book.
Zhou Yingxue muttered in a low voice, "Reading books every day, are they really that interesting? Master, why do you like to read so much? "
Ren Xiaosu did not even look at her. "Because I can understand the world through books."
In the past, he did not have the means to go to school, nor did he have the opportunity to systematically master knowledge in the stronghold. So the more he lacked something, the more he yearned for it.
Zhou Yingxue said, "Don't we understand the world well enough? People are always scheming against each other, and there's not much trust between them. Everyone can't wait for fame and fortune to be written on their foreheads. "
Ren Xiaosu turned to look at her. "The world isn't like this."
Zhou Yingxue was stunned. She did not expect Ren Xiaosu to answer her like that. That was because Ren Xiaosu should have a clearer understanding of the things she mentioned and had experienced more.
Zhou Yingxue watched as Ren Xiaosu started reading again. She suddenly felt that this young man, who was clearly approaching the peak of humanity, looked even more charming when he was reading.
At this moment, Zhou Yingxue received another text message: "You've been selected by your employer. They require you to go to the black market on the outskirts of Luoyang City within 48 hours. You must also wear a formal suit with the hem of your skirt not higher than your knees. You must not sleep earlier than your employer every day. You must not eat meat or mention cats in front of your employer. You must also sign a confidentiality agreement to not divulge your employer's personal habits."
There were a total of 81 things that Zhou Yingxue could not do!
When Zhou Yingxue saw these requirements, she frowned. "Master, I ran away from the Yang Clan precisely because I can't stand such hypocrites. But now that I've become an A-rank hitman, I've encountered such people."
To be honest, when Zhou Yingxue saw so many requirements, she was already starting to feel conflicted. She was a professional hitman now, so why did she have to act like a female bodyguard? Why did she still have to be someone's grandson?
"Maybe they're just asking for things to be more formal." Ren Xiaosu said with a smile, "Didn't you have to do the same when you were protecting an important member of the Yang Clan?"
"That's different." Zhou Yingxue curled her lips. "It's not like she's some big shot. She's just a singer."
Zhou Yingxue replied to the text message saying she was already at the black market. Where was her employer?
However, the reply message said the employer was still in Stronghold 62.
Zhou Yingxue's temper flared up. "She said we'll be there in 48 hours, so why hasn't she left yet?"
"Let's wait for a while," Ren Xiaosu said unhurriedly.
But a week passed.
Zhou Yingxue's fingers moved like a blur as she typed out a text message on her cell phone. "Is the employer still coming? Huh? She said I'll be there in 48 hours, but it's already been a week and she's still not here? Huh? Is the time of an A-rank hitman not valuable? "
Over the past few days, Zhou Yingxue had been so angry that she was about to explode. She was a supernatural being and an A-rank hitman, yet she still had to wait here for a lousy singer?!
However, the Anjing House replied with a text message: "You can cancel the mission. This cancellation will not affect any of your data. Furthermore, the one million yuan deposit paid by the other party will also be transferred to you."
The Anjing House's attitude was also very clear. They were definitely thinking of their own people. Moreover, the time of an A-rank hitman was indeed more valuable.
However, the Anjing House followed up with another text message: "The employer says that if you continue to wait, they'll give you an additional two million yuan as compensation for the delay."
Zhou Yingxue threw her cell phone onto the bed. "Do I, Zhou Yingxue, look like someone who lacks that one or two million yuan?!"
Then she thought about it carefully. She did.
Ren Xiaosu looked at Zhou Yingxue with a half-smile. "Why don't you cancel the mission?"
Zhou Yingxue glared at him. "It's a waste not to earn money from a fool!"
