Yang Cheng could easily wait half a month, so he readily agreed.
"How many Tower Coins do these things require?"
Old Zhao said cautiously, "I'm not entirely sure, but it will probably cost between 15,000 and 18,000."
Moreover, I'm just a middleman, and I'm a bit short on cash. I can only earn a commission, so I need to pay those guys some money first.
"If you could pay the money first, that would be best, Lord Yang."
Yang Cheng took out his residence permit and said, "Here are 20,000 Tower Coins. No matter what price you pay to get them, the rest of the money is yours."
Old Zhao was immediately overjoyed.
In the past, when he acted as an intermediary to trade with various forces or people within the tower, those guys were always very meticulous and only ever tried to bargain. They would never offer more money on their own initiative.
Yang Cheng's generosity caught Old Zhao off guard.
"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely get these things done as quickly as possible."
As he spoke, Old Zhao took out a permanent residence permit and said, "Sir Yang, the Tower Coins can be deposited into this black card."
We should be careful with our transactions. These black cards don't have owners, so the Tower can't trace their origin no matter how they're traded.
Yang Cheng asked doubtfully, "Isn't each permanent residence permit bound to a person? It even has a life detection device on it. If someone dies, the security forces will react."
Old Zhao chuckled and said, "The workers on the upper floors of the tower who manufacture permanent residence permits don't earn much. It's actually quite easy for them to make a black card without life detection devices when the leaders aren't looking."
Many shady transactions on the first level use these black cards. I have one here; it's perfect for you, Lord Yang.
Yang Cheng took the black card, examined it for a moment, and then put it in his pocket.
The Tower's system appears rigorous, but in reality, it has long been thoroughly infiltrated, like a sieve.
No one can escape the word "greed".
The people at the top of the tower may be aware of these things, but they simply don't care.
After all, as long as they control absolute power, no matter how much fun the lower-level people have, it won't affect their status.
"By the way, do you still have any of these shielding devices? Could you give me one?"
Yang Cheng was also very interested in Lao Zhao's jammer.
There are too many electronic monitoring devices inside the tower.
Although his mental strength was powerful, it was limited to detecting living things.
With this, he can at least ensure that he won't be affected by things like cameras and alarms.
"Of course I have plenty of these little things here, Lord Yang, please feel free to take them."
Old Zhao quickly took out a new jammer and gave it to Yang Cheng.
After the transaction was completed, Yang Cheng prepared to return to the second floor to rest for two days.
After all, Yang Cheng hasn't had a real rest since the start of the assessment task.
Then he suddenly realized that someone was following him.
However, these people did not conceal their whereabouts too much, as if they were waiting to be discovered by him.
Yang Cheng turned around and saw Chen Wentao, the leader of Hongji, whom he had met before, following behind him with several of his men.
"It's you? What are you doing following me?"
Chen Wentao looked around and said to Yang Cheng, "Sir, may I have a word with you in private?"
Yang Cheng nodded and followed Chen Wentao into a small alley. Chen Wentao, like Lao Zhao, activated a jammer.
"I wish to personally thank you, sir."
"With the destruction of the Violent Bear Gang by the adults, my Hong family is doing much better in the Third District than before."
Yang Cheng said calmly, "There's no need to thank me. I didn't wipe out the Violent Bear Gang because I wanted to help you."
Even so, I, Hongji, must express my gratitude.
"If you ever need anything from Hongji in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. Hongji will never refuse!"
After saying this solemnly, Chen Wentao added, "There's one more thing: someone above has offered a reward for your information and whereabouts, sir."
Several gangs on the first floor received the news and accepted the mission.
I suspect someone is targeting you, sir. Please be careful.
A cold glint flashed in Yang Cheng's eyes.
This Su Jie really has no end to it.
How can you guard against thieves for a thousand days if you're a thief the day before?
I originally planned to deal with him when he came to the first floor, but now it seems I should find an opportunity to lure him out and deal with this trouble first.
"Thank you for the reminder, Master Chen. This is my contact number. If your Hong family has any trouble, you can come to me."
Yang Cheng gave Chen Wentao the number on his permanent residence permit, which was like a phone number and could be used for contact.
Chen Wentao exclaimed with delight, "Thank you so much, sir!"
At this moment, a light suddenly flashed on Yang Cheng's permanent residence permit. When he clicked on it, a virtual screen appeared. It turned out that Yin Lin had sent him a message saying that the permanent residence permit had been processed and she had come to ask Yang Cheng for the documents.
Yang Cheng suddenly revealed a mysterious smile and told Yin Lin that he had joined the Explorers Corps and no longer needed a permanent residence permit, but he was still very grateful to her and wanted to treat her to a meal.
Seeing the smile on Yang Cheng's face, Chen Wentao, who was standing to the side, suddenly felt a chill run down his spine for some reason.
He dared not disturb Yang Cheng any longer and quickly left.
At this moment, on the third floor of the tower, in Yin Lin's home.
Upon seeing the message that Yang Cheng wanted to treat her to dinner, Yin Lin hesitated for a moment, but then agreed.
Yang Cheng had saved her life after all, and the permanent residency offered as payment was ultimately not used, so she felt embarrassed to refuse him.
