Chapter 3, First Unit
After Chen Wang called out to her, Li Mengyao finally had a reason not to leave.
"You're just a bronze-level player, you're not capable of taking my orders!" Li Mengyao retorted stubbornly.
"Really?" Chen Wang took out his phone, searched the task list in the lobby, and quickly found the other party's request.
"Lost and found, estimated difficulty level: Bronze." Chen Wang laughed, "Isn't this just perfect for me?"
When Chen Wang's authentication was approved, his mobile phone automatically logged into the internal system of the Superhuman Dispatch Center.
This is due to the incredible transmission speed of the Cairo Network. From entering information to successful verification, registration, and data sharing, it is completed almost instantly.
He had no interest in continuing his chat with Li Mengyao, so he waved his hand, said "I'll take this order," and left under everyone's watchful eyes.
After all, I'll be a special envoy starting tomorrow, so I need to quickly spend some time learning.
Chen Wangfeng's nonchalant smile left Li Mengyao speechless, feeling as powerless as punching cotton.
During the rest of her working hours, she was absent-minded, and sometimes she would suddenly pray that someone else would get her commission first.
No miracle occurred, and the next day soon followed.
After receiving the message that Chen Wang had accepted the order, Li Mengyao stomped her feet in anger and buried her head in the quilt for a long time before calming down and arranging to meet Chen Wang.
Hongcheng, a bustling downtown area, inside a coffee shop.
Li Mengyao changed into a casual outfit, with baggy pants paired with a tight cropped top, making her look very energetic.
She arrived at the coffee shop early and waited for Chen Wang.
When the latter pushed the door open and came in, she glanced at the time, and to her surprise, he arrived right on time.
"The task details are already clearly written on the phone, why do we need to meet in person to discuss it?" Chen Wang said as he sat down opposite him and scanned the QR code to order coffee.
As Chen Wang said, after accepting the order, the task details were displayed on his phone.
The destination is on the surface, in a refugee settlement not far from Rainbow City.
The mission objective is to retrieve an exquisite hat.
"Because there's something else I can't write in the commission, I can only tell you privately..." Li Mengyao said, looking somewhat embarrassed.
"I used to have a boyfriend who was really good to me. I even gave him a baseball cap as a gift. But because of family issues, he left Hongcheng, and we broke up."
She paused for a moment, then continued, "Later I heard that he went to the refugee area on the surface, so I wanted to get the cloak back, but he wouldn't agree no matter what I did, so I had to issue a commission."
Chen Wang nodded: "So, is there anything I need to be careful about?"
Li Mengyao hummed in agreement and took out an old folded paper from her pocket: "Return this skill book to him, and tell him that I don't like it."
Chen Wang took the paper, but out of politeness, did not open it to read it.
In this world, skill books are mostly just a piece of paper. To learn a skill, you need to find the corresponding piece of paper, eat it, and you will immediately understand it.
Not all skill books can be learned by superhumans; compatibility is also a factor. If the compatibility is incompatible, nothing will change except for the enjoyment of the skill.
Seeing Li Mengyao's hesitant manner, Chen Wang, combining what he had studied in the beginner's guide all night, understood her intention.
According to the rules of the Superpower Dispatch Center, a commission can only be used for one thing. Li Mengyao wanted to retrieve something and deliver something, so she planned to use the money from one commission to do two things.
"Is this what you called a trivial matter?" Chen Wang asked, holding the skill book.
He's not some great saint, just an ordinary superhuman and deportee; making money and strengthening himself are still his top priorities.
Li Mengyao nodded, her awkward gaze now tinged with anticipation.
"If you want to take advantage of me by mocking me, then hurry up. Anyway, I already said those things to you yesterday, so it's reasonable for you to retaliate."
She was still too proud to admit it and wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by a waiter who came over.
"Please enjoy your coffee." A delicate cappuccino was placed on Chen Wang's table.
Li Mengyao thought to herself, "I thought he would order two drinks."
Chen Wang didn't say anything, but took a deep sip of coffee.
at the same time.
Outside the glass wall where the two of them were leaning, several men suddenly stopped.
They banged on the glass a few times, laughing and shouting, "Chen Mengyao, what are you doing here!"
"Oh no, oh no!" Chen Mengyao saw the people on the other side of the glass window and immediately turned pale. She picked up her handbag and prepared to leave.
Chen Wang asked, "What's wrong?"
"I have something to do, I have to go now." She stood up, pulled down her cropped top, paused briefly, and then took out several hundred yuan in cash from her bag.
"No need to hesitate, I'll pay more!"
After saying that, she jogged out, walked among the men, and left with her arms around their shoulders.
This is really inexplicable...
They were just strangers who had met by chance, and she was only there to ask for favors. Chen Wang had no reason to interfere in her private affairs.
Making the first order is the most important thing; this is his first step in the other world.
After collecting the cash, return to the dispatch center and follow the staff's guidance to the special envoy preparation area.
This was the final hurdle on the way to the surface, and he carefully selected the equipment he would bring.
For an order of small items, a medium-sized backpack is more than enough.
Protective suits are essential for withstanding the rain of time.
Although he still has a protective suit at home, it is marked "Bida Logistics" and cannot be used to carry out the tasks at the dispatch center.
Besides, that piece of clothing belonged to someone else.
After getting ready, he checked the zippers and hat, and made sure the backpack was fastened securely on his shoulder before he felt at ease and prepared to set off.
"Bronze-level Special Envoy Chen Wang, hmm, this is your first order." A manager nearby chimed in at the opportune moment, "I really envy you superhumans, you don't even need a voice assistant when you go up there."
As concepts introduced from the Western world, the terms "Doomss" and "BB" are also used in Rainbow City.
Simply put, advanced Dums individuals can see the terrifying black ghosts scattered across the earth with the naked eye: BTs.
BB is short for Bridge Baby. Babies are taken from the bodies of deceased mothers, placed in specially designed incubators, and connected to adults, giving ordinary people the ability to see BTs.
Superhumans like Chen Wang are born with advanced Domus and do not need to be equipped with BB.
"The equipment you selected costs a total of 200 yuan for rental. Please pay here and return it to its original location after the order is completed."
Chen Wang checked his balance. Although he had received cash, he still felt a pang of regret when paying.
Li Mengyao spent 1,000 yuan to post this commission, with the dispatch center taking half and Chen Wang receiving the other half as payment.
If you factor in the rent, he can earn 300 yuan from this deal.
This is considered standard pay for bronze-level commissions, and if done quickly, this order can actually be completed in an afternoon.
Chen Wang approached the elevator leading to the ground. The surrounding lights gradually dimmed, and the elevator emitted a screeching sound as it slowly began to ascend.
A manager in the distance covered his ears and shouted into the lobby, "Tell the engineering department that the elevator needs repairs!"
……
As he ascended, Chen Wang saw the entire panorama of Rainbow City through the glass walls on all four sides.
Rainbow City is a typical circular city, gradually expanding outwards from the central ring, with the scenery gradually transitioning from breathtaking and artistic to ordinary.
After Death Stranding, the entire nation worked together to build a vast underground city system, allowing the vast majority of people to relocate downwards and gain lasting peace.
Initially, the fear that constantly haunted humanity plunged the dungeon into chaos, but later, with the promulgation of a series of beneficial measures, society finally returned to normal.
Later, people even forgot that they were underground. They worked at sunrise and rested at sunset, enjoying leisure and entertainment in an orderly manner.
The Time Rain on the surface withers everything, but it also accelerates the growth of crops. With the help of modern technology, the people in the underground city live a life of plenty.
Nobody cares whether the sun is simulated or not, as long as it shines evenly on everyone.
The elevator stopped, and the doors slowly opened with a howling sound. Chen Wang's vision was instantly covered by a ghastly white light.
