Chapter 116: The man behind the scenes
Number 893453: “I’m so frustrated, why hasn’t 10086 gone out to gather supplies lately? There’s no new material at all! Damn, he looks so cool when he fights!”
Number 734563: “Yeah, especially when 10086 is dressed in combat gear, he really looks like a superhero. Just thinking about it makes wet.”
Number 146534: “Wait, aren’t you a guy? Wet? Don’t ss around, I’m scared.”
Number 734563: “Hehe, can’t guys get wet too? (wry face)”
Alex looked at the chat, a faint smile lingering on his lips.
However, the chat records beca increasingly inappropriate, and his entire face fell.
Are these guys all perverts?
Mia and Olivia didn’t look too pleased either.
But it was obvious they didn’t like Alex being talked about like this.
Well, he’s kinda cute though…
Alex secretly rejoiced on the side.
Mia wanted to type a retort in the group to hit back at these fans.
But Alex stopped her.
“Don’t, just endure it. I haven’t lost any flesh off my body.”
“The main task is not to forget, you’re like a thorn in their side when you’ve just arrived, too easy to attract attention.”
Mia struggled for a while, and finally reluctantly agreed.
“Alright, just let them continue chatting in the group! But I’ll rember their numbers, and if I encounter them later, they’ll have a hard ti!”
Alex chuckled and ruffled Mia’s hair.
He was relieved that Mia could stand up for herself like this.
Warmth filled his heart.
ssages in the group flickered rapidly, with many people chatting.
Apart from so useless junk information, they still gathered quite a bit of useful information.
Number 834534: “Any experienced drivers in the group? Hurry up!”
Number 365634: “Suddenly got the hint! Let’s get going!”

Number 845674: “Anyone else? Keep it up! I hope you can be more sensible!”
Number 235663: “Any GIFs? Pictures aren’t satisfying enough.”
[Number 365634 has been muted for ten minutes by Administrator Number 10010]
Number 10010: “Everyone, this is the 10086 fan internal group. If you’re here to share adult content, please leave, okay?”
Number 65533: “Damn… then do sothing productive!”
“I was pulled in by a friend, they said there’s work to do, can earn necessities, so I ca!”
Number 74534: “Exactly, I ca here out of curiosity, but nothing’s happening, I’m leaving the group, leaving.”
Number 10000: “If you want to work, ssage privately.”
Hmm? Work?
Private ssages?
Alex felt sothing was off. His intuition was telling him so.
“Mia, why don’t you go chat with 10000 privately. Damn, it’s those two again, I want to see what they’re up to!”
Mia nodded and imdiately sent a private ssage.
“Hello, Administrator, I also want to work.”
Number 10000 quickly replied.
“Do you know what kind of work it is?”
Mia was puzzled, looking at Alex.
Alex stroked his chin.
After careful consideration, he said seriously, “It should be so kind of part-ti job, right?”
“Previously they ntioned getting supplies for working, so it’s probably so sort of work that requires labor.”
Mia nodded in agreent.
Then, she confidently sent a ssage.
“I know, working is just part-ti.”
Number 10000 was speechless.
Of course, working is a part-ti job! But, I asked about the specific content of the work.
It seems like she wasn’t introduced by soone familiar.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t misunderstand the true aning of “working.”
“Sorry, we have enough workers for now, we don’t need any more. We’ll contact you if we need help next ti.”
After that, no matter how Mia tried to explain, he ignored her.
Mia looked at Alex with a bit of grievance in her eyes.
I did what you said, why is it turning out like this?
Alex felt a bit embarrassed too.
He didn’t expect the other party to be so cautious.
What he thought was a simple matter now seed a bit complicated.
He even worried if he had alerted them.
Olivia spoke up at this mont, “Alex, why don’t we go ask those who claid they wanted to work earlier? They might know sothing.”
Alex’s eyes lit up.
“Yeah, Olivia, go ask them!”
“Mia has already stirred things up, it’s better not to attract more attention, let’s lay low.”
Olivia nodded, then found the survivor who had just claid they wanted to work.
“Hello!”
Number 745345: “Hmm, what do you want?”
Number 1314: “Hey handso, can you tell what ‘working’ ans? I saw you ntioning in the group that working can earn supplies, help out…”
Number 745345: “I don’t know, I have no idea what you’re talking about!”
This survivor was tight-lipped, outright denying any knowledge.
But Olivia wouldn’t easily give up, would she?
“Hey handso, I really want to earn so supplies, I’ve been nearly starving lately! Can you please help out?”
At this mont, the other party didn’t imdiately reply, suggesting a possible willingness to negotiate.
“Tsk, I suppose I can tell you, but, you know, I’m running low on supplies myself. If I let you in, wouldn’t that just an one more competitor?”
“You get it, right?”
Olivia’s lips curled into a smile upon seeing the ssage.
As long as he’s open to discussion, it’s likely just a matter of striking a deal.
“Hey handso, as long as you’re ga, I’m willing to trade you so essentials! Co on, spill the beans!”
Number 745345 remained unmoved.
“First, let’s talk trade. I want ten loaves of bread.”
Olivia didn’t imdiately agree, instead teasing the other party.
“Um, ten loaves of bread, isn’t that a bit steep?”
745345 chuckled.
He thought to himself, this newbie must be inexperienced in dealing.
“The compensation for the job I’ll give you is more than just that. I’m offering you a fair deal, I won’t cheat you.”
“In that case…”
The trade was successfully negotiated.
Number 745345: “Actually, it’s not that complicated. Just find Number 10000 and say ‘ABC’ to him, and he’ll invite you into another group.”
Olivia was taken aback.
ABC? So, as suspected, there really is a puppet master behind the scenes.
Alex’s expression turned serious as well.
He never anticipated soone going to such lengths to tarnish his reputation.
Fortunately, Olivia and Mia are quite perceptive to these matters and caught the issue in ti.
After closing the chat, Olivia glanced at Alex.
“What do you think, should we keep looking for 10000?”
Without hesitation, Alex slapped his thigh and exclaid, “Absolutely, we must! Why wouldn’t we? I’m really curious to know who’s pulling the strings!”
“And besides, we can’t let those ten loaves of bread go to waste.”
Olivia chuckled.
“Alright, I’ll go find him and join that shady group.”
Number 10000 was accustod to receiving private ssages.
Seeing the new mber, Number 1314, requesting to join the group, he raised an eyebrow.
Another one here for work?
Olivia got straight to the point, “Hello, I’m here for ‘ABC’.”
Ah! A pro, no beating around the bush!
Number 10000 didn’t waste any ti with small talk.
“I got it, welco aboard.”
Shortly after, Olivia received an invitation to join the group.
