38 Meeting

◎Find an opportunity for Prometheus to meet me◎

That night, the Rome community evacuated local residents for two hours due to a gas leak.

Two hours later, the property management posted a notice that a house on the 13th floor of Building 22 had been blocked off due to a gas leak and explosion.

That evening, the Public Security Bureau sent personnel into the Rome City residential complex. They had already received notice from above and were merely going through the formalities. After confirming that no other civilians were injured, the police officers withdrew.

That same night, a professional maintenance and cleaning team arrived and urgently repaired the corridor, removing all bullet holes and damage caused by fighting, including bloodstains on the rooftop of the building opposite.

In just an hour, Rome was no different from any other neighborhood. That night, the residents went back to Rome to sleep, cursing and swearing, and Rome returned to peace.

And outside the city of Rome, a woman was running.

She quickly took off her witcher overalls; they were too heavy and she couldn't walk fast in them.

Huang Yaruo was trapped in the house fifteen years ago. Technology was developing rapidly, and only after she came out did she know what the outside world was like now.

The highway in the air was like a brilliant ribbon of light, surrounded by densely packed high-rise buildings. Neon signs on the street kept flashing, and Huang Yaruo, in her pajamas, looked like a glaring alien among them.

Huang Yaruo couldn't even find her parents, relatives and friends. Did they all think she was dead? Are they still alive after fifteen years?

She knew she was in trouble. Yongsheng Pharmaceutical would definitely come after her, and if she went to the Security Bureau, she would definitely go to jail.

Run, she could only run.

Huang Yaruo ran faster after taking off her witcher uniform. She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that she was stronger than before.

She had lived in the house for fifteen years, nourishing the house and the house also nourishing her. Her physical condition became very strange.

Huang Yaruo kept running forward. She turned into an alley and twisted around in it like a headless fly.

After so many years, she had no idea what the current city planning was like. She just walked around aimlessly, and her intuition told her to go to places with fewer people.

Huang Yaruo had just turned into an alley when she stopped. A figure slowly walked out of the darkness. It was a robot, its artificial eyes emitting a blood-red light in the darkness.

Huang Yaruo stepped back, but there was also a robot behind her.

She was blocked from all directions, and there were three robots alone, surrounding her like a pack of wolves.

…

Bang!

Zhu Ning woke up with a strange noise. When she opened her eyes, she found herself curled up on a sofa, covered with a blanket.

Song Zhizhang was not there, and the desk was empty.

"This broken door has been broken for a long time," a noise was heard outside, someone was smashing the back door, "Boss Song, you should just die from scratching it, and you don't even bother to fix it."

Zhu Ning has good hearing and can hear everything clearly.

It was early in the morning, and she must have happened to see the ducks at the Grand Queen Restaurant getting off work. They were all leaving through the back door one after another. That door was difficult to open and close, and people passing by would curse Song Zhizhang for being stingy.

Zhu Ning: “…”

Listening to the ducks' complaints, Zhu Ning realized that this was the Queen's Inn, and she finally walked out of the shabby house.

There was no fear of not knowing whether to fall asleep, no strange furniture, no woman crying in the middle of the night, and no snails everywhere, instead there was a group of ducks.

It's quite...down-to-earth.

Zhu Ning tilted his neck and felt that he was in better condition than yesterday. The pain in his head was slightly relieved.

There was a bag of bread, a cup of milk and two bottles of mental healing agent on the coffee table. As expected of someone in the service industry, Song Zhizhang was really thoughtful.

Zhu Ning opened a bottle of mental healing potion and waited until his mind cleared up a bit before he began to think slowly. There were many unread messages on his secondary brain, and Zhu Ning dealt with them while eating breakfast.

The first message was from Song Zhizhang, and the money for the contaminated spores had been deposited into Zhu Ning's account.

After deducting the cost of collecting the bodies and dealing with the contaminated spores, the total amount was 3 million Singapore dollars.

Zhu Ning originally wanted to make money from genetic medicine, and the real rewards were given by the system.

There is also a bill message below: "Your total consumption at the Grand Queen store is 15,888 Singapore dollars, and the deduction has been completed."

Zhu Ning: “…”

Who are you kidding? No wonder it's so thoughtful, with breakfast and spiritual healing medicine.

You have to pay for staying in the hotel, so you just have to grit your teeth and accept it.

As usual, Zhu Ning transferred his salary to Liu Niannian. Liu Niannian didn't know whether he was scolded by his family or was catching up on sleep, and he hadn't replied yet.

Zhu Ning's current account balance is 2,005,312 Singapore dollars. After paying the 1.5 million Singapore dollar bill for the genetic medicine at the end of the month, there will still be 500,000 Singapore dollars left. Just barely breaking even, so he won't have to work so hard anymore.

Zhu Ning's principle of making money is to make enough to spend, and deal with it later if it's not enough. She doesn't want to brush grave posts anymore. She wants to study the system rewards carefully.

Her metal manipulation talent has been improved, and now she can manipulate it up to two meters. This is a standard reward, but the other two contaminated items are more interesting.

Class C contaminated items can form a 2X2X2 three-dimensional defense space. Zhu Ning is the owner of the space. If she understood correctly, the three-dimensional defense should be a special space.

The solution to the problem of the house where people are chased is that the internal space of this house is infinitely extended and is a spatially polluted area.

The rewarded pollution props are also space-related. As long as Zhu Ning is inside the space, no one or anything that is not invited by her can enter. It is equivalent to a simple safe house?

As long as you use it, you can build your own defense anytime and anywhere. Although it is only effective for 30 minutes, if you are on the battlefield, these 30 minutes can almost save your life, and even save the lives of your companions.

There is another very interesting prop, Zhu Ning has a blank card in his hand.

Any item can be stored inside the card, and the number of items that can be stored is 1

It only stipulates the number of items, not the size, material, or whether they are alive. Does that mean it's OK to put a house or a bomb in there? But what about putting a living person in there?

There are no unlucky guinea pigs for me to experiment on.

She looked at the panel again.

Name: Zhu Ning

Age: 19

Education: Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering

Status: Fifth-class citizen

Talents: Danger Premonition, Metal Manipulation

Mutation direction: Unknown

Degree of Alienation: Unknown

Physical strength: Enhancement 20

Spirit value: 100 (normal people's value is 20)

HP: 33 (normal person's HP is 70)

Luck value: 20 (normal people's value is 50)

Purification value: 4554 (can be exchanged for other points, each 500 purification value can increase health by 5)

Contaminated items: Rotten fish head, pigman's guillotine, master/key, three-dimensional defense space, blank card

There is an extra column, and contaminated items now have a separate column. The increase of 20 in physical strength should be the effect of the genetic medicine.

The luck value is increasing from 1 to 20. I may not be so unlucky in the future.

Using the rotten fish head consumed some health points, but the current health points of 33 are within an acceptable range.

The purification value is quite a lot, a total of more than 4,000, but Zhu Ning did not redeem it. He will add it next time when he needs something.

The direction of the mutation and the degree of alienation were still 0. She was very curious about how to become a mutant. She thought that she might be able to figure it out after completing two missions.

Who knows where the door to mutation opens? We don’t even know where it opens. We need to collect some information about the people with super powers.

And she discovered a problem. People with special abilities all have their own attributes. For example, those with metal abilities can control metal.

But the system shows that Zhu Ning's metal manipulation belongs to the talent column, not the superpower column, and she seems to be different from others.

Zhu Ning reviewed the situation and found that both missions were related to Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, and the hot pot restaurant was a victim of medical accidents.

This house is definitely an experiment. Is the fishman also related to the Eternal Life Pharmaceuticals?

Zhu Ning remembered that the probability of misjudging the contaminated area was very low.

After rebirth, she met a fishman in the sewer, who talked about the end of the world. She then entered the hot pot restaurant and the house where she was being chased, but there were no clues related to the end of the world in either house.

But Zhu Ning always felt that these three things should be connected in series.

Logically speaking, the correlation between Yuren and Yongsheng Pharmaceutical should be equally high.

Zhu Ning had personally participated in the purification of the murlocs and did not leave any clues on the spot. Now the rot spores had been contained and completely destroyed. It was unrealistic for her to go back and look at the murlocs' information.

Zhu Ning didn't know much about Yongsheng Pharmaceutical.

Since the Super Body Plan could be written into the shareholder prospectus, it was no big secret to Yongsheng Pharmaceutical. Song Zhizhang obviously knew something, but he said nothing.

Moreover, someone wanted to kill her, and the killer had been lying in ambush outside the green gate. There must be a professional organization behind it.

Zhu Ning's identity cannot be hidden for long. His characteristics may easily be used to reveal his true identity, so he needs to think of a countermeasure.

…

She has training in the afternoon.

The cleaning center staff training has a daily attendance salary of 5,000 Singapore dollars. Zhu Ning is reluctant to spend this money. Taking leave suddenly will arouse suspicion, so it is best to pretend that nothing happened.

Zhu Ning was still stuck in the fighting class and had failed. She drank the mental healing potion and was about to leave after breakfast.

When he went out, Zhu Ning saw Song Zhizhang.

The entire club of the Queen's Store is closed, all the colorful neon lights are turned off, and only the sunlight shines in from the early morning.

The whole store looks surprisingly clean, as if it is just an ordinary coffee shop.

Song Zhizhang stood with one hand on the bar, his posture very elegant, and no one knew what he was thinking.

From this point of view, Song Zhizhang is quite handsome. Working in the entertainment industry relies on looks to make a living. Judging from his appearance, he was more than qualified to be a small star in Zhu Ning's era.

I just don't know what aesthetic taste is. She prefers some purple high-necked autumn clothes and dresses up like a Barbie doll every day. This is really Zhu Ning's aesthetic blind spot.

Suddenly, Zhu Ning saw the cross earring on his earlobe. A tiny blue diamond on it sparkled, looking very abrupt in the sunlight.

Zhu Ning's pupils suddenly contracted, and she thought of Fang Ying.

That day, after Zhu Ning finished collecting data, Fang Ying came to the observation room to deliver the information. She was wearing a sea-blue earring on her left ear, which also flashed at that time.

Zhu Ning asked: How did I get this job?

Fang Ying was silent for a long time at that time. Only after the earrings flashed did Fang Ying want to answer Zhu Ning's question.

Is this the tool Prometheus uses to contact them? Is Fang Ying really a Prometheus employee? Song Zhizhang was just contacting Prometheus.

Song Zhizhang noticed Zhu Ning, turned around, and greeted her: "Good morning."

Zhu Ning didn't even frown, "Good morning."

Song Zhizhang poured himself a cup of hot tea: "Did you sleep well?"

Zhu Ning yawned, "Not bad."

Song Zhizhang pushed the teacup in front of her: "You can actually fall asleep here with me."

Zhu Ning didn't know whether he was careless or reckless, his mentality was too stable.

Zhu Ning didn't care: "I think if you want to harm me, I won't live long."

No matter what Song Zhizhang's intentions are, he probably has no ill intentions towards Zhu Ning so far.

A duck shop owner who runs a shelter department and deals with pollutants on a daily basis, has been able to remain safe and sound for so many years. He might be a demon hunter or a person with superpowers.

If he wanted to kill Zhu Ning, he would have disappeared from Area 103 tomorrow. The fact that he was still alive was enough to explain his mistake.

Song Zhizhang paused as he held the teacup. Was he being tricked? Was Zhu Ning testing him?

If Song Zhizhang had attacked Zhu Ning yesterday, this little bastard would have definitely destroyed half of his store.

Song Zhizhang laughed: "Where are you going next?"

"Cleaning center," Zhu Ning drank half a cup of hot tea and felt much better. "Hurry back to training. I haven't passed the combat class yet."

Only she can take fighting classes during the day and find time to purify polluted areas at night.

Song Zhizhang exclaimed, "You've worked so hard, shall I take you home?"

Zhu Ning put down the teacup: "No, I can't afford it. I'm leaving."

Song Zhizhang: "The main door is closed, go out the back door."

Zhu Ning uttered an "oh" and suddenly said, "By the way, let's find a chance for Prometheus to meet me."

Her tone was very casual, as if she was just chatting with him.

Song Zhizhang's face froze. "What?"

Zhu Ning spoke so suddenly that he didn't even adjust his expression.

Zhu Ning smiled when she saw Song Zhizhang's frustrated expression. Zhu Ning thought about it carefully. Among the three parties, the Cleaning Center, Yongsheng Pharmaceutical, and Prometheus, Prometheus seemed to be helping her for some reason?

Compared with the two huge institutions, Prometheus seemed to be better at doing business and had been providing a guarantee for himself before, although Zhu Ning didn't even know what this thing was.

Is it really artificial intelligence? Or is it a pollutant or something?

The name Prometheus is very interesting. He is the fire thief of mankind. What kind of fire did he want to steal?

Zhu Ning: "I'm upset about working for someone without knowing the reason. I won't accept the job without meeting him. I'll ask him to think it over carefully. He should show some sincerity."

Song Zhizhang tried hard to control his expression and wanted to explain that he had no way to contact Prometheus directly.

Zhu Ning didn't give him any room to perform. He waved to him and gave him a bright smile. "Bye~"

After a sharp sound, the tattered back door was closed and Zhu Ning left.

No one spoke in the store for a long time. Song Zhizhang sighed and said to the empty store, "You should meet her."

Zhu Ning was too perceptive, and Song Zhizhang couldn't hide it for long.

The author has something to say:
