Undercover in a World of Uncanny Rules

The first time Bai Tao woke up after her death, she found herself thrown into a world of uncanny rules by the world's consciousness, becoming an ordinary human.

Her neighbor is a talking ...

Chapter 012: City of Dreams (Part 2)

Free? It means there is still a payment issue. The rules say [If you encounter difficulties at work, please ask your supervisor]

Bai Tao understood and could ask questions but could not get answers.

This is similar to the rules of Netherworld Cemetery [Complain about staff and improve service].

"Minister, what is the difference between the recipient and the signatory?"

The Centaur looked at Bai Tao and said, "You are quite smart. There are usually two items on a courier note: the recipient and the delivery address. The recipient is the real owner of the courier, but it does not mean that she is always at the delivery address."

The Centaur twisted and turned in front of the mirror, explaining, "The person who signs for the package is the person who lives at the delivery address. Don't worry, there must be someone at the delivery address who can sign for the package."

"The first question is answered, and you have two free questions left."

Quickly review the ten rules in your mind.

[From 12:00 midnight to 6:00 am, staff outside are prohibited from returning to the Nadusong company building]

Bai Tao asked the second question: "What happens between 12 midnight and 6 am?"

"The daytime in Dream City is about order, while the night is about chaos. It is a carnival for the strong. I would like to advise a weakling like you to return to the company early. After 12 o'clock, even if you are wearing our company's work clothes, it will not protect you."

Bai Tao remembered that it was night in the Netherworld Cemetery dungeon, and it was daytime outside.

Maybe it’s not the evening that’s dangerous, but the night!

I was just about to ask a third question.

“Boom boom boom~”

The warehouse's large chimney made a loud rumbling sound and the column kept squirming.

No, that's not a chimney. Bai Tao's thoughts turned, and he finally thought of an adjective, that is, a wriggling intestine.

"Warning, san value is decreasing."

Bai Tao quickly looked away.

With a humming sound, a large amount of steam came out, and a package was spit out from the chimney.

The Centaur Minister picked up the package.

"Newcomer, you are so lucky, you got a job."

The new express is a large item, weighing about 20 kilograms, and is a Class C express.

[Recipient: Mr. Ginkgo’s dear wife]

【Tel: 798...】

[Address: Black Duck, the third tree west of the intersection of Ginkgo Road and Oak Road]

These are not the key points. The key point is that two targets appear in Bai Tao's navigation.

One is the delivery address and the other is the recipient.

The Centaur Minister urged: "Hurry up and deliver the express!"

"Minister, I have thought of the third question."

"Okay, since you're going to die, just ask."

"The navigation goal is..."

Bai Tao deliberately hesitated. She was not sure whether all couriers had two targets in their navigation.

Fifty dollars for a courier package. Bai Tao was thinking that the Centaur Minister was kind enough to give her the opportunity to complete the business.

"Of course it's the delivery address. However, it's useless for a Class C courier to know the delivery address." The Centaur Minister shook her head. She asked this question because she overestimated the newcomer.

Bai Tao stared at the Centaur Minister, not missing a single change in his expression.

There is no trace of lies.

She remembered that when the system was loading, there was a message like this [Cheat loading ing]

I thought it was a plug-in for finding props, but now it seems to be a plug-in for locating the recipient in real time?

Suppressing her running thoughts, Bai Tao wiped the corners of her eyes with her fingers and put on a sad look.

"Minister, can I ask you another question?" Without waiting for the Centaur Minister's permission, he asked directly, "Excuse me, who is Mr. Ginkgo?"

The recipient's name gave her a feeling of a real-world, star-chasing girl.

The centaur suppressed his impatience and said, "Bumpkin, Mr. Ginkgo is the head of Big Dream Entertainment Company, the face of Dream City, a male tree."

After answering this question, the Centaur Minister personally threw Bai Tao and the courier out of the company: "If the courier has not been signed for, you are not allowed to come back."

Bai Tao got up from the ground. The Centaur Minister was much gentler to the courier than to her.

The minister carried the 20-pound express for her for a while, which was worth it.

The two target points are not far apart in navigation.

The setting that express deliveries cannot be put into personal space makes Bai Tao very angry.

The recipient was found, the only problem was how could she, a weak woman, deliver the 20-kilogram package to the destination 10 kilometers away with her bare hands.

After walking for an hour, when they were still 6.66 kilometers away from the destination, Bai Tao finally saw passers-by.

The passerby had three heads, eight claws, and fangs an inch longer than Bai Tao's forearm.

The next second after seeing the mark on Bai Tao’s chest, it turned and ran away.

Run away! ?

Bai Tao took a look at the courier company's logo everywhere on the work clothes, okay, okay, the deterrent effect is +∞ so great that monsters will run away when they see it, right?

The ready-made coolie ran away, and Bai Tao dragged the express delivery and walked for another two hours before finally arriving at the destination.

The third tree to the west of the intersection of Ginkgo Road and Oak Road is an oak tree, and there is indeed a black duck standing on the oak tree.

“Haha, the express has arrived. The express has arrived.”

The black duck had a mouthful of shark teeth and stood on the tree staring at Bai Tao.

"Are you Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife?"

Bai Tao dealt with Hei Ya with her mouth while looking back and forth, looking for the recipient.

The recipient was located across the street, where there was only one ginkgo tree. Except for its sparse leaves, it was not much different from the other ginkgo trees in the green belt.

The recipient is in hiding.

After hearing Bai Tao's question, Black Duck quacked twice and said, "Yes, it's me."

"If I am not mistaken, Your Excellency seems to be a male?"

Black Duck waved his wings, extremely angry: "Have you never seen Meng Nan?"

Bai Tao folded her arms and watched the black duck performance quietly.

Clapping his hands gently, he said politely, "Now I have seen it."

The black duck was so angry that it kicked the branch and broke it, but it couldn't get out and couldn't do anything to the white peach.

Bai Tao dragged the express across the street and came to the ginkgo tree.

"Hello, we deliver express everywhere. Your package has arrived. Please sign for it."

There was no response. Bai Tao was a courier with professional ethics. After repeating it twice in a good temper, the recipient was still pretending to be dead.

It is wrong to bully workers. When you are in social danger, it is best to pretend to be dead.

Putting down the express, Bai Tao took a deep breath, stood on the road and shouted, "Is Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife here?"

"Is Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife here?"

After countless cycles, the recipient's name echoed on the street.

Is Mr.Ginkgo's dear wife here~ is it~ is it~

"Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife?" Three or two monsters ran towards Bai Tao.

"Haha, Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife, haha, hahaha..."

The first one to arrive and watch was a crow, which suddenly burst into loud laughter.

It landed on the ground with a bang, its wings flapping against its belly. It laughed so hard that it had no strength to fly, so it rolled on the ground.

The branches of the ginkgo tree trembled, and a mysterious force caused its roots to grow rapidly.

"Ah, that's enough, stop screaming." Mr. Ginkgo's dear wife stopped pretending to be dead, and a face appeared on the flat bark. Judging from the facial features, she was pretty. "Send it to me by express delivery, I'll sign for it, stop screaming."

Bai Tao shut up and said, it would have been better if you had done this earlier.

The Ginkgo Tree suppressed its unspeakable embarrassment and said seriously, "I am the recipient. As you can see, I am an immovable tree. Please come closer."

That makes sense, Bai Tao stood on the side of the road, holding the receipt in her hand.

"Please sign for your delivery!"

"Too far, closer."

Bai Tao tilted her head, if she got any closer she would step on the green belt.

Is stepping on the lawn considered a violation?

"Okay." He pretended to agree and made a move to move forward, but in fact he stood still and threw a stone into the green belt.

Whoosh, the stone was hit and broke into pieces.

The attackers were the branches of the ginkgo tree.

Silence is Cambridge tonight.

The Ginkgo Tree stopped pretending: "Ahhh, I just won't sign for it, what can you do to me? Come in if you have the guts!"

Bai Tao is not capable, but she is reasonable.

The sparse leaves of the ginkgo tree could not hide the badge pinned to its branch.

Bai Tao cleared her throat and showed the badge on her chest: "Ahem, let's be honest, you have a badge, and I have a badge, so we are both minors, right?"

The Ginkgo Tree’s arrogance came to an abrupt end: “Well, right?” Its words were extremely uncertain.

Bai Tao spread her hands: "So why should minors embarrass minors!"

The ginkgo tree bites its branches. Damn it. I always feel that what that human said makes sense.

"Yes?"

Bai Tao persuaded: "Then come and sign for the express delivery."

Yes, express delivery. She spent a lot of money to buy the fertilizer from outside to make the ginkgo tree grow.

"Okay." He signed for the express delivery promptly.

Bai Tao bowed and said goodbye: "I deliver express everywhere. I am happy to serve you..."

"Wait." The ginkgo tree interrupted Bai Tao's farewell.

At the same time, after signing for the express delivery, Black Duck flew back from the oak tree and blocked Bai Tao's way.

"My friend, do you want to make a deal with the honest ginkgo tree?"

At the edge of the green belt, a scale appeared out of thin air, shining brightly, and it was obvious at first glance that it was no ordinary item.

[Name: Ginkgo Tree's Fair Scale (Prop)]

[Description: The most important thing about a balance is fairness. It is absolutely not short of weight (strange description). The value of the things on both ends of the balance must be equal. Even its owner cannot make the balance shift a little. Of course, its owner usually uses it to extract the invisible things of the traders. ]

"I have a gift for you, provided you can give me something that satisfies me."

The land was surging and a motorcycle floated up from the ground.

"This motorcycle is perfect for you. It has a maximum speed of 100km/h. It consumes flesh and blood. One pound of human flesh can travel 30 kilometers."

【Name: My beloved little motorcycle】

[Description: Riding my beloved scooter, it will never get stuck in traffic. Riding my beloved scooter, I will be home (crossed out) or company in no time. A former owner of the scooter rode at an extremely high speed of 100km/h, and then she died. She was shot dead on the spot by the City Hall Traffic Department for speeding. It is not recommended that children learn from her.

Note: It eats human flesh and blood, but not only human flesh and blood.]

Bai Tao was very happy that she had been careful and had the courier as her hostage.

The rules don't say that you can't damage a package that has been signed for by the recipient.

Holding the package, he threatened: "Friend, I don't think I have anything to trade."

As I said, although props are good, you still have to be alive to get them.

The ginkgo tree looked at the express delivery in Bai Tao's hand with heartache and persuaded her in a gentle voice.

"Oh, my human friend, you are too self-deprecating. You have many precious things, your body, your soul, and your memories... Of course, you are my friend, and I will not hurt you."

In order to gain Bai Tao's trust, she showed it with her own rule paper.

▆▆

6. …Plants cannot lie. Honesty is your basic character. …

▆▆

It seems fair, but Bai Tao knows that these monsters love to take advantage of information asymmetry to kill people.

Obviously, there is a hidden danger behind the seemingly fair treaty.

"To be fair, you are a woman, and I am also a woman. So, girl help girl, can you lend me your motorcycle for a while?"

"No." The ginkgo tree said firmly.

The freeloader failed.

"Then I won't make a deal. Bye."

The ginkgo tree was very reluctant to let go, and kept saying: "You are my friend, please go."

Black Duck made way and Bai Tao took two tentative steps forward. No one blocked him. The friendly effect brought by reasoning remained.

Bai Tao stepped back: "My dear friend, let's talk about the deal."
