Facts have proved that Walnut's "Face Fruit" is indeed powerful. The flaxen-haired girl ran to the back and rummaged around for a while, and soon picked out some commissions and took them over. As a result, Walnut actually found a commission to go to Silver City.
"Look, I found it!"
Holding the power of attorney, Kurumi excitedly ran to Fang Zheng and Kuang San and waved it in front of them.
"The client is the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce. They want us to help escort a batch of supplies. We need to depart from here, take a ship to Gray Whale Harbor, and then go to Silver City. That's it!"
Hearing Kurumi's question, Fang Zheng nodded, then looked at Kuang San, who also smiled slightly.
"That's it, let's get ready and leave soon."
"No problem, I'll go and do the formalities now."
After saying this, Hu Tao ran to the counter again with a shovel on her back and the power of attorney in her hand. Fang Zheng saw her pick up a pen and sign her name on it, then stamped it smoothly. Then the flaxen-haired girl looked at Hu Tao with a reluctant look in her eyes, waved at her and left...
It's like a young wife looking at her husband who has gone away from home.
And at this moment, Kuang San was still commenting.
"This one today is pretty good, it's quite introverted."
"What's the meaning?"
After hearing Kuang San's comments, Fang Zheng glanced at her, while Kuang San smiled slightly.
"Hu Tao's popularity is beyond your expectation. There are many fans of her in the Mercenary Association. Many girls are fascinated by her. This one is okay. She is introverted and is satisfied with just coming over and talking to her. The pink-haired one last time was more interesting. She came to me directly and asked about my relationship with Hu Tao. She also said that she wanted to confess her love to Hu Tao and marry her..."
"Is there such a thing?"
Hearing this, Fang Zheng was shocked. He had been in the main world for such a long time, but he had never thought about the issue of marriage in the main world.
"Of course, you don't know how powerful these little girls are. There were a few blind guys in the association who slandered Hu Tao behind her back every day and harassed her at every turn. As a result, they were coaxed by these little girls with commissions and ran away to who knows where in the wilderness. It's hard to say whether they can come back alive..."
"And then?"
At this moment, Fang Zheng seemed to be listening to a story, the more he listened, the more interesting it became, while Kuang San covered her mouth and smiled softly.
"A little girl is a little girl. She had already asked Hu Tao out to confess her love, but when the time came, she was speechless. Instead, Hu Tao thought she was sick, so she took her temperature..."
As she spoke, Kuang San pressed her forehead as if taking her temperature, and Fang Zheng understood instantly.
"…Then the little girl passed out, so the confession didn't work?"
"That's right."
"How interesting... Kurumi didn't realize it herself?"
"Kumi's personality..."
Having said that, Kuang San paused for a moment, as if thinking about something.
"…She didn't notice it, and I felt like she was deliberately avoiding this aspect, so I didn't ask too much."
Hearing this, Fang Zheng nodded and didn't say much. Everyone has their own secrets. Fang Zheng didn't know much about what happened to Hu Tao. If she didn't want to say it, he wouldn't go out of his way to investigate with the "Whispering Volume". But no matter what happened, it's over. Seeing Hu Tao so happy here now is enough.
"Okay, let's go."
At this time, Kurumi also ran back to Fang Zheng and Kuang San excitedly and said to them with a smile.
"The person in charge of the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce is at the Half Duck Hotel. Let's go over there and contact him now, and then we can prepare...Xiaohong, are you okay?"
"no problem."
Fang Zheng nodded slightly in response, and at this moment, Fang Zheng also noticed a gaze. He turned his head and saw that the flaxen-haired girl behind the counter was looking at him with a complicated and tangled look, with anxiety, uneasiness, envy, and a hint of threat...
It seems that what Kuang San said was true.
Hu Tao has been here for several months and has become something of a local boss. She knows the situation around here very well. Without much effort, Hu Tao brought Kuang San and Fang Zheng to the Half Duck Inn. Then Fang Zheng saw a little girl with a short ponytail coming up to him with a familiar look. Hu Tao then smiled and said a few words to the girl, and immediately got a reply, and then came to the door of the client's room.
"Boom boom boom."
When she reached the door of the room, Walnut, who had always looked lively and energetic, finally calmed down. She reached out and knocked on the door gently. Soon, a voice came from inside the door.
"Who is it?"
"Hello, we are the mercenaries who have accepted the commission. We would like to discuss the specific matters of the commission with you."
"Okay, wait a moment..."
After hearing Hu Tao's answer, the sound inside the door paused for a moment, then a slight "click" was heard, and then the door slowly opened.
"Come in."
Kurumi didn't seem to care and walked in with a smile. Next came Kurumi and Fang Zheng. However, what made Fang Zheng curious was... for some reason, he always felt that he seemed to have heard the client's voice somewhere before.
After entering the room, Fang Zheng looked around. This was just an ordinary guest room, but if there was anything wrong, it was that... there was no one here.
And at this moment, the client's voice sounded again.
"Shovel? Are you the... Miss Nutcracker?"
Because Hu Tao's last name is very difficult to pronounce in the language of the main world, as difficult as reciting a tongue twister, so after staying here for a long time, people here basically call Hu Tao by her name or simply call her "Shovel Princess", and Hu Tao got used to it.
"It's me."
Hu Tao also looked around curiously. It seemed that she was as curious as Fang Zheng about where the other party was. However, the client's shadow was still nowhere to be seen. Her voice was low and she sounded a little timid.
"Where are you?"
"Oh, sorry... I'm not very good at meeting people directly..."
Along with the sound, Fang Zheng soon noticed a shadow passing by in front of him, and then a girl in luxurious clothes appeared out of thin air behind the chair. She grabbed the back of the chair and carefully poked her head out like a soldier facing heavy artillery fire behind a bunker, looked at everyone and nodded.
"Hello, I'm Katie from the Holy Silver Chamber of Commerce..."
It turned out to be her!
Seeing this, Fang Zheng suddenly recalled that he had felt that the client's voice was a little familiar. Now that he thought about it, wasn't she the noble lady who had upgraded her stealth to the legendary level when he was doing the mission?
It was a close call!
Seeing her appear, Fang Zheng couldn't help but take a deep breath. Fortunately, he had transformed beforehand just in case. Otherwise, if he ran into Katie without any warning, he would be exposed immediately. How could he sneak into the Wushuang? But now... I'm afraid that no matter how smart Katie is, she can't think that she will become a red ponytail magical girl.
Although strictly speaking this is nothing to be proud of.
"Hello, Miss Katie."
Walnut didn't seem to care much about this. She nodded at Katie, then took out the power of attorney and read it again before speaking.
"You need to hire two or three mercenaries to escort a batch of goods to Silver City, right?"
"Yes... I will go with you..."
"Well, may I ask what the cargo is? It's not contraband or anything like that."
“No no no!!!”
Hearing Walnut's question, Katie quickly shook her head.
"Just some very common specialties, and... valuables, but they are all legal..."
"Okay, I see. So when can we leave?"
"Let's set off early tomorrow morning..."
Katie also sighed at this moment, and Fang Zheng saw a trace of fatigue on Katie's face.
It seems that the current condition of this young lady thief is not very good?
