Chapter 62-62- Quite a big fuss
Yvette was not surprised by the fame. After all, the Werewolf Killer was a well-known serial killer in Agashe and had caused a lot of discussion throughout the United States of New Eden.
But she clearly didn't understand the extent of the buzz surrounding this incident. After all, she didn't pay much attention to current events, nor did she need to. She was more focused on tracking bids on the dark web for the bio-cosmetic suit she had listed.
Hearing Custer's excited tone, Yvette took a rare look at social media and found that the story about the "werewolf killer" had become the front-page headline, with the popularity leading by a cliff, and "Bird News" was the first-hand source of information about this incident.
She remembered the message Miss Irene had sent her a few days ago, asking her if she wanted to remain anonymous in the press release. Of course, she didn't think so. If the mercenary identity "Wuming" couldn't become famous, how could she receive high-priced commissions?
But she didn't expect that the matter would become so popular, not only throughout the entire New Eden United States and Kuroshio Island, but also attracted huge international attention.
"It's quite a big fuss." She couldn't help but say.
"Yes, it has become a political event." Custer sighed in the voice message.
"Political event?"
"Yes, the people have a natural resistance and fear of super capital. Some time ago, the government even introduced a new subsidy policy for Black Tower and Lin Tui, which is equivalent to using taxpayers' money to feed large companies. Now, as luck would have it, Lin Tui Biological has been exposed for conducting vicious human experiments and killing innocent people... Hehe, even if it is really as the company's statement defended, that it was the personal act of the culprit 'Hewlett', who can believe it? Now there is a new round of looting and smashing on the streets. I guess our 'great' President, Mr. John, is also in a state of panic now..." Caster said with a low chuckle.
Yvette nodded slightly. Indeed, the key point of this incident was to arouse the public's dissatisfaction and fear of large companies. It would be impossible for it to reach this point just because a serial killer was caught.
However, she felt that Black Tower Pharmaceuticals must be behind this matter. After all, Bird News itself is a Black Tower media, so it can expose negative news about Lin Tui Biology so unscrupulously without worrying about the report being blocked as soon as it comes out.
But now the matter is getting bigger and bigger, and the surging public opinion is indiscriminately attacking large companies. Even Heita Pharmaceuticals itself is affected. Can the heat of this matter continue to be maintained?
…
After a few brief pleasantries, the call with Custer ended. It was obvious that Custer was calling to strengthen his relationship and maintain this important connection that had suddenly become so prominent.
However, regarding the new commission, Custer did not give a clear answer, but only euphemistically stated that thanks to the efforts of the great hero Miss Wuming, peace has been restored in Agasa recently, the people are living a happy life, the local weather is good, and the country is prosperous and the people are safe.
This is what it means to have no big orders.
She could handle small orders, but with a commission price of tens of thousands, she would rather pay more attention to the biological colonization equipment she was selling on the dark web - the current quotes for this thing were all around 2.1 million, which was obviously too low. If she worked hard, it would not be a problem to break through 2.5 million.
Asking Custer to continue to keep an eye out for large orders with a price of no less than 300,000 yuan, Yvette was thinking about asking a few middlemen.
Although Custer said that the big orders received by the middlemen of Agashe are all similar, that is, the client will assign the orders to the middlemen with good reputation, and whoever accepts the order first will get it, but who knows if he will lie, so we must always be prepared.
Then I hung up the phone and was about to go out when Miss Irene called again.
She first congratulated Yvette on becoming a celebrity in Agashe - now in any bar or other place, you can hear people talking about the werewolf killer incident and the mysterious female mercenary named "Nameless", who was the talk of the town for a while.
Then Irene happily announced that thanks to the werewolf killer incident, she had been quickly promoted from an intern reporter to an investigative reporter, and was also responsible for some criminal-related vertical sections. At the end of the month, Bird News would also give her an internal award, and the bonus seemed to be quite substantial.
After Yvette gave a few perfunctory congratulations, she started complaining again, and the content was as expected - Bird News received a notice from the higher-ups that the follow-up reports on the werewolf killer incident would no longer be carried out, and it could not be mentioned again in the future. The incident should be suppressed as much as possible.
This must have been instructed by Heita Pharmaceuticals. They originally wanted to take the opportunity to give their competitor a beating, but they didn't expect to be scolded even though they did nothing. Now they probably reached some agreement with Lin Tui Biological, so they decided to cool down as soon as possible.
But this has nothing to do with Yvette. She has already gained enough fame and all she needs to do now is wait for the commission.
…
While waiting for a reply from the Civilization Continuation Association and a new commission, in order to make full use of her time, Yvette spent 200,000 yuan to purchase a three-month audit pass for Agasa University, so that she could attend classes at the university in the future.
As a senior rune hacker with hundreds of years of experience, Yvette has always been a self-taught person and has never experienced systematic teaching.
This led to her often doubting whether the methods she used were correct, whether they were unorthodox, or whether there were better methods that she had not discovered when dealing with many problems.
Now she can finally go to a prestigious university to find out more. Even if it is just to verify whether her past methods were correct, it will be a good supplement for her and can make her Tao heart more stable.
result……
You don't know until you go there, and you'll be shocked. After taking a few serious classes, Yvette discovered that in the origin civilization, the rune compilation tools had been perfected to such an extent.
Moreover, these software are too professional. If you are not a professional, you will basically not even hear of their names. Although Yvette knew about the existence of these things in the past, the subscription fees were too expensive. The last time she entered the dream, she was not well-off and was reluctant to spend money to experience them.
Now, after listening to the university professor's lectures, she finally realized how hard her life was in the past.
In Origin Civilization, major companies already provided rune compilers with ready-made, comprehensive development engines and countless virtual assets in their marketplaces. Many novice rune compilers simply needed to combine a few assets, combined with their teachers' guidance, a bit of their own artistic talent, and a bit of ingenuity, to develop a rudimentary but functional spell.
Yvette's previous techniques had all been developed with nothing, and the difficulty and torment were unimaginable. This contrast made her Dao heart, far from becoming more stable, seem to be shattering.
She felt sad that she should not have come earlier.
She could have accepted the darkness, but why let her see the light?
What made her even more regretful was that in order to sell subscriptions, these tools had to be connected to the internet to be used, making them almost impossible to crack. Once she left the dream, she would be completely unusable.
So, with a happy-go-lucky attitude, while still in the dream, she decided to make good use of these professional tools and upgrade all the techniques she had from the original 60,000 specifications to 100,000 specifications. Otherwise, when the dream ended, she would have to build everything from scratch and practice it manually, which would be a real death for her.
I just realized that the time Hewlett said Zero and One escaped was wrong in the previous chapter. It was not three years ago, but last year. It has been corrected.
