“Yuan-jie, Yuan-jie, you’re too close!”

Fang Yue was startled, his body stiffening.

“Hee hee, Ah Yue, why don’t you teach me to be a professional gamer?”

“Yuan-jie, isn’t your job pretty good?”

“Ugh, don’t even mention it, it’s annoying just thinking about it. Are you going to teach me or not?”

“If Yuan-jie really wants to enter this circle, I’ll definitely do my best to help you, it’s just that I’m not doing so well myself…”

“Hee hee, that’s true…”

Yuan-jie’s expression dimmed again, then she giggled foolishly at Fang Yue for a while, and suddenly patted her cheeks cutely with both hands.

“Go blow-dry your hair, we’re going out later.”

As she spoke, Yuan-jie had already slipped into Fang Yue’s room.

“Wait! Yuan-jie, are you free tomorrow?”

“Depends, what’s up?”

Yuan-jie poked her head out.

“I made a little money in the game, and I want to treat you to a meal, let’s celebrate together.”

“Okay!” Yuan-jie’s face bloomed with a refreshing and lovely smile, revealing her teeth as she laughed: “I want a big meal!”

“Okay!”

With the matter settled, Fang Yue cleared the table, and was about to return to his room when Yuan-jie suddenly poked her head out again, startling him slightly.

“Yuan-jie, what is it now?”

“I forgot just now. When I came back, on that road downstairs, there was a girl holding your photo and asking people where you lived. That girl was very pretty. You didn’t get someone pregnant, did you?”

“I’m still a vir…”

Fang Yue almost blurted it out, but luckily he stopped in time, and said with a flushed face, “I didn’t, I didn’t, don’t slander me!”

He thought, in Jianghai City, he only knew his university classmates and his two roommates, and he was very careful about his private life, so how could a girl be looking for him.

“Hee hee, then maybe it’s a distant relative coming to find you.”

“That’s unlikely, are you sure she was looking for me?”

Yuan-jie put her finger against her chin, pouted, and frowned in thought for a while, then said, “It should be you, although it was just a back view, I wouldn’t mistake that white shirt with the red apple on it, it was the birthday present I gave you a few months ago.”

Girls are quite sensitive to clothes, especially since Yuan-jie had personally selected that shirt in a small shop, so she basically wouldn’t mistake it.

A white shirt with a red apple on it?

Isn’t that the shirt I wore yesterday when I bought the gaming watch?

Could she really be looking for me? But why…

Suddenly, something popped into Fang Yue’s head.

The parchment!

Damn it! Could it be because of it?

Fang Yue suddenly felt a little scared.

Could she be a dangerous person?

Just as he was thinking, he heard Yuan-jie continue, “But, that girl asked around, and when she didn’t find out where you were, she left.”

“Left? You didn’t tell her where I live?”

As a professional gamer, Fang Yue rarely went out, and even his neighbors had rarely seen him, let alone the other people in the neighborhood.

“Of course not.” Yuan-jie said as a matter of course, “Joking is joking, how could I casually tell a stranger your information, what if she was a bad person? But… you didn’t get into any trouble, did you?”

“No, no, how could a gamer like me get into trouble.”

“That’s true.”

Yuan-jie tossed her hair, went back to continue drying it, and was done in a short while. She went back to her room to change her clothes, said goodbye to Fang Yue, and went out.

Fang Yue was still pondering this matter, feeling a little uneasy.

Why was that woman investigating me?

Why did she leave so easily after not finding anything?

Will she come again?

What was her purpose?

Thinking about these things, Fang Yue returned to his room, picked up the parchment, and stared at it for a long time, but the parchment didn’t react.

“Maybe I’m thinking too much.”

Sighing, Fang Yue suppressed his thoughts, put on his gaming watch, lay on the bed, and entered the game.

The room quieted down, and words slowly appeared on the parchment.

“They’re here!”

“Very dangerous, I’m very dangerous now!”

“I was so frightened just now that I forgot to give the idiot a hint…”

“I can’t sit still and wait for death, I need to give the idiot some power, enough to protect my safety!”

“I hope he has already obtained strong enough abilities in the *Blue Sea* game, otherwise I can’t make bricks without straw.”

“Next time he comes out, I’ll go and trick him! Make him exchange for power, his lifespan should be enough to pay the price.”

…

Peace Bounty Company.

General Manager Liu’s office.

Bang.

Chen Xiaomiao kicked open the door and walked in, yawning.

“General Manager Liu, I’m here.”

“Mm.”

General Manager Liu took a stack of documents from the drawer and placed them on the table.

“This is today’s quota.”

“So much?”

Chen Xiaomiao, who was just yawning, widened her eyes and raised her voice, “Are all of their investigators disabled? Did they replace their legs with steel prosthetics after breaking them? That’s why they ran so much in one day, are they tired? Should I thank their whole family!”

“…This shows that they are excellent.”

General Manager Liu was speechless. Why was this newcomer so sarcastic?

Without thinking too much, he continued, “Did you go to investigate that matter today? Don’t be lazy and play games again. When I checked, I saw you browsing game forums, and even replying to posts with some *Miaofa Ziran* ID.”

“General Manager Liu! You’re a pervert! Spying on me surfing the forums!”

“…That’s during work hours. If you’re not working, can’t I see what you’re doing?”

“No way, there isn’t really a company that doesn’t give its employees privacy, right? There isn’t, right? Can I sue you for sexual harassment?”

“…Okay, okay, I won’t do it again. Let’s talk about work, okay? Did you go to investigate today or not?”

As soon as work was mentioned, Chen Xiaomiao’s face drooped, “Investigated, investigated. So many people, how could I investigate them all in one day. To investigate one person, I specifically went to scout the location.”

General Manager Liu’s face lit up, “Oh? Any clues?”

“No, just a passerby. According to the information provided by those investigators, he happened to be nearby at the time, so I checked him out along the way.”

Chen Xiaomiao looked disgusted, “As a result, the area where he lived was so dirty and messy, just the kind of cheap neighborhood. I asked some people, but no one knew exactly where he lived, so I didn’t continue to investigate.”

“Why didn’t you continue to investigate? Everyone must be investigated thoroughly!”

“I know, I know. So many people, I’m investigating alone. If I investigate each one in detail, I’d need three heads and six arms. Besides, he was just a passerby, he just happened to be there, the possibility is very low.”

“That still needs to be investigated… As for manpower, I will assign it to you later. The company has a big task now, and can’t spare anyone for the time being. Please work hard for a few days first.”

Chen Xiaomiao curled her lips, not quite believing her superior’s words.

Listening to General Manager Liu’s nagging, she just wanted to get off work quickly, and then go home to play games.

“Today, I’ll try the force-deflecting method that [Night Dawn] mentioned, and challenge the patrol team.”
