Aunty Xinqing, I have sothing to confess. Actually, Ive awakened a certain ability ever since becoming an evolved ability user. Its not just . Sis Bitong, Lixiang, and Qiaoqiao have all awakened abilities too. The whole story is a little long for an impromptu conversation, Ill fill you in when theres more ti.
Naturally, Aunty Xinqing already knew that Bitong and the girls had so sort of ability, else she would not have been able to put them in the Bureau, no matter how much authority she wielded.
As the na suggested, this bureau wasnt ant for ordinary civilians.
Alright, since its not convenient to talk about it here, I wont pry further. Aunty Xinqing had complete confidence in . Seeing as I did not want to talk now, she knew I had my reasons. She simply told to be careful before parting with this, Oh right, General Rodenas said he wanted to talk to you.
She then winked at after which the screen went black. The next ti the screen lit up, a different person was displayed. A decidedly balder, ugli- Ahem Well, the bald Raging Bear wasnt exactly an affront to my eyes, but he certainly wasnt related to the word handso at all. And that shiny head Pfft Ahem. Laughing at his baldness would be rude, so I definitely did not do that!
We finally et again, Lady Mo Ke. The bald general started off with a beaming grin in a bid to present a softer image of himself. However, with a face that even a mother wouldnt love, smiling was only going to make him seem scarier.
I coolly nodded my head. Greetings, General sir, I hear youve got sothing for ?
Actually, its nothing big I just wanted to talk to Lady Mo Ke about a certain matter. At that, the bald general blushed like a schoolboy talking to his crush. The 12th District has a military warehouse that has been abandoned for five years. Theres a number of unused exosuits stored there. They should co in handy for you That facility was supposed to be a maintenance facility, but it was later sealed up for reasons Im not entirely sure what reasons they are, but I just ca across this piece of information and I thought it would help you.
You have my thanks, General sir.
Since the start of this zombie virus outbreak, it could be said that all the possible ard forces in Southern Plains had been mobilised. But the enemy had proven too unpredictable Even without factoring those zombies, the appearance of those ghosts and skeletal beasts had resulted in the loss of ninety percent of Southern Plains forces.
The only two ways of strengthening ourselves now could be broken down into two broad categories: searching for surviving mbers, or scavenging usable exosuits, and then filling those exosuits up with anyone able to pilot them.
Thanks to advances in technology, the controls of an exosuit could be perfectly simulated in gas. It wouldnt be a surprise at all if so of these survivors knew how to control an exosuit.
In that sense, we werent really lacking in soldiers, just weapons to arm those soldiers -sothing General Rodenas helpfully delivered right into my hands. How thoughtful of him.
They might be five year-old goods, but sothing was always better than nothing. I an they couldnt be worse than those entertainnt exosuits we piloted, right?
Haha, theres no need for that. As long as Lady Mo Ke finds them useful, Im happy. The general scratched his non-existent hair and put on a stupid grin in response to my thanks. It was just a pity that even this series of innocent actions looked terrifying on a face like his.
Not long after closing the comms channel with Rodenas, I sent out a video call to Bitong. She quickly accepted the request and the image of her cockpit appeared before .
Ke, how are you doing over there? She imdiately opened up in concern.
Everythings fine. Ive found the first batch of survivors, roughly fifty civilians and five SAT mbers. I began telling her about my encounter. but now Im faced with a lack of manpower. There are too many survivors to escort them safely to the inn. I can only leave them here for now Oh right, theres another important matter regarding that serum The incubation period doesnt seem to be constant amongst those who drank it. There might still be infected hiding amongst the survivors I did not have much ti to check them all before leaving If possible, you guys should buy one of those 100 point virus detection kits
Got it, Ill do it right now She imdiately attempted to access the Marketplace.
Its not working, the Marketplace seems to be locked down
Locked down? I tried opening up the Marketplace myself. I succeeded without any difficulty. That cant be right, my Marketplace is working fine. Are you sure yours is locked down?
Ill try it again. A while later, she ca back with a sigh. It failed again. The system says the Marketplace is locked down.
Hold on a second, Sis, Ill have a chat with the system.
Got it. Seeing my furrowed brows, she nodded simply.
I closed the comms channel and called for the system ntally.
System, get out here now! I have sothing to talk to you about!
Valued host, how may I assist you?
Didnt you tell that Bitong and the girls can use the Marketplace once they are in the Book of Oaths? Why cant they buy anything now?
Has our valued host forgotten already? One of the requirents for opening up the Marketplace is for our valued host to be near his harem mbers. Should that distance exceed a hundred kiloters, they will temporarily lose the ability to access the Marketplace.
A distance requirent, huh Now that you ntion it I do rember you saying sothing like that
Are there any other questions, valued host?
For so reason or another, she sounded really snarky when she said that. But wasnt she supposed to be unfeeling, right? So how dare she get snarky with !
System, is there so way I can lift this restriction for the girls?
There is. For 1000 points per naslot, our valued host can give his harem mbers the ability to access the Marketplace without a distance restriction.
1000?
Thats right. 1000. Cheap, aint it? Thats just 10 points per 1 km. Criminal pricing, love~
System I suddenly have this urge to murder soone. What should I do?
Does our valued host wish to purchase this authority?
Hey, dont ignore ! Bah. Ill buy it Ill buy three!
No matter how annoyed I was with the systems unscrupulous sales tactics, I couldnt say no. After all, what was a re 3000 points compared to the girls? I had the strength to earn points easily now, so even if 3000 was a sizable chunk, it was manageable.
Yet when I saw my 6142 points decrease down to 3142, I still couldnt help but feel a stab in my heart!
Thank you for your kind patronage.
You dirty rchant, are you not satisfied unless I murder you?!
