Chapter 90 Come alive
Yu Sheng thought about it carefully and felt that it was not a good idea to take the towels, washbasins, and beverage bottles in his home to the Secret Service for identification. Putting aside the question of whether the Secret Service was willing or not, just rushing this pile of junk into the "Strange Items Collectibles Market" would probably disrupt the market order. It was originally a niche circle, and if he just took some things out of his house, it would probably impact the annual trading volume...
However, his restless and flexible thinking was not completely cooled by this rationality, but turned into more serious thinking.
Irene looked up at Yu Sheng, and the little doll's face was full of suspicion: "Are you still planning to sell the junk?"
"Little Red Riding Hood said that we should at least sell things that look mysterious and have an 'atmosphere'," Yu Sheng waved his hand, "because many collectors are ordinary people who are well-informed and know some things in the supernatural field. They buy these things basically out of their interest in the mysticism and as a capital for bragging to each other..."
Irene sighed, "So sometimes I just can't understand humans. Many of them don't have any special abilities and love to commit suicide. Isn't it good to be an ordinary person who can't see alien worlds and entities? At least they can live a stable life. But they have to be interested in things from the 'other world' and think that they will be fine after learning a few safety measures. Not to mention whether their safety measures are useful, there may be dangerous items in these things brought from alien worlds."
"Even the Secret Service doesn't prohibit this kind of thing anyway," Yu Sheng shrugged. "Things that can be identified by them and then put on the market are basically not dangerous. The truly weird things are all locked up in the Secret Service's storage warehouses - that's what the Border Communications Encyclopedia says."
As soon as he finished speaking, his cell phone vibrated again. Little Red Riding Hood sent a new message.
"If you want to make some extra money, I have a job for you. Would you like to help?"
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, and immediately replied: "What kind of work?"
"I originally turned down the commission from the Association of Strange Objects because it was a bit risky and the returns were uncertain. Most importantly, I'm short of manpower. But if you can come and help - bring that special fighting fox with you, this commission would be very suitable. You can get familiar with the 'working methods' of real spirit detectives, and you can get half of the commission. And most importantly: if you really encounter a situation where you can't win, you can just take me and run away."
After a while, Yu Sheng saw a new message pop up on the screen: "The specific work content is to find an item in the 'museum'. If you can successfully bring it out, it will be considered a success. If you are interested, I will send you the information about the 'museum', and by the way, there will be a specific reward."
Yu Sheng subconsciously exchanged glances with Irene (the fox next to them was still busy gnawing on a chicken leg and had no idea what was going on), and each of them saw a hint of eagerness in the other's eyes.
Of course, what Yu Sheng was thinking about at the moment was not only the words "commission" and "reward", but also something more important: the opportunity to contact more foreign lands, learn more about things related to the "supernatural realm", and accumulate more knowledge!
To him, the weight of this knowledge is even greater than any reward - because perhaps a piece of information related to foreign lands can help him find the door to his hometown!
"Send it and let me see!" He replied quickly.
Little Red Riding Hood didn't waste any time and directly forwarded a long string of information, ending with a string of reward numbers.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment when he saw the string of numbers.
"so much?"
"We split it in half," Little Red Riding Hood explained. "Entering a foreign land is very dangerous. Of course, the rewards for doing this are higher, but correspondingly, our costs are not low either. Let's not talk about the equipment loss during the operation. The sanity blockers, nebulizers, inducers and other drugs that need to be replenished every time are not cheap. We have to pay for these out of our own pockets. After deducting them from the income, there is not much left."
Yu Sheng stared at the string of messages sent by Little Red Riding Hood in a daze. After a long pause, he finally asked, "What are the rational blockers, nebulizers, and inducers you mentioned?"
After this message was sent, Little Red Riding Hood suddenly fell silent.
Yu Sheng waited for a long time before he finally saw the other party's reply pop up on the screen, which began with a series of exclamation marks.
"!!!!! You've found a bug again! I'm so envious of you!!"
Yu Sheng thought about it and looked down at Irene: "What does she mean?"
"I don't know," Irene scratched her head, "Maybe I envy your broad-mindedness?"
"I don't think so..."
Yu Sheng muttered to himself, and then he saw a new message pop up on the screen: "I just contacted the client of the Strange Objects Association, and they agreed to assign this job to me again, but the time requirement is very tight, no later than 12 o'clock tomorrow night - if you have time, it's best to leave tonight."
Yu Sheng thought about it and felt that there was nothing to do at home anyway. Hu Li had eaten so much that she needed to go out to digest the food, so he quickly replied: "Okay, then tonight."
"I'll send you the address, please come as soon as possible."
Putting away his phone, Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, then glanced at the fox girl who had just chewed a chicken bone and swallowed it, and was licking her fingers seriously.
He reached out and patted the other's tail: "Hu Li, change your clothes and get ready to go out with me."
Hu Li looked confused: "Ah? Benefactor, what are you going to do?"
"The 'hotel' is back," Yu Sheng laughed, looking eager to try, "Come with me to go on an adventure."
"good!"
A moment later, Yu Sheng walked out of the house, and Hu Li followed closely behind him, holding Irene, who had lost her luster.
Three people () stood in the open space in front of No. 66 Wutong Road, facing the night wind and looking at the city area in the night.
After a while, Irene suddenly asked, "How do we get there?"
"I'll take you there?" Hu Li looked at Yu Sheng, her eyes sparkling in the night. Although she was a little confused before going out, she seemed excited now, "My benefactor, please show me the direction~"
Yu Sheng's mind flashed with an image and he shook his head repeatedly: "No, a rocket-propelled fox is flying through the city at subsonic speed in the middle of the night. I don't know how to write the news in Jiecheng the next day - let's call a taxi."
Irene stirred a little: "... For a supernatural organization to go on its first mission, three people are squeezing into an online ride-hailing car?"
"We are in the start-up period..." Yu Sheng also felt a little awkward. "We will need a car later, when we have money. But then again, it won't be crowded for the three of us, and you won't take up space."
Irene's scolding was really harsh.
Yu Sheng has now become very adept at treating Irene's beeping as background noise. He simply blocked out the puppet's chattering, and brought Hu Li to the intersection, where he took out his cell phone to call a taxi.
——The reason I didn’t call a taxi at the door was that I was worried that the situation like the “locksmith” would happen again.
Hu Li looked at Yu Sheng's hand movements curiously. After a long while, she pointed at Yu Sheng's mobile phone and said with emotion: "My benefactor's magic weapon seems to be very convenient. It can do everything."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
"Don't you have it? Something similar to this." Yu Sheng asked curiously. He felt that the level of civilization in Hu Li's hometown was so high that it would be impossible for them to not even have this kind of personal information equipment.
"Yes," Hu Li nodded, but then added, "But children are not allowed to play with it, fearing that it will affect their practice. My mother is generous and allows me to play for half an hour every day, but most of the functions are still unusable..."
Yu Sheng: “…”
The god damn fox who cultivates cyborg immortality also has to face the prevention of underage addiction? ! "I'll reset the old phone I replaced and give it to you later," Yu Sheng said casually after a sigh in his heart, "It may not be as advanced as the 'magic weapon' you used when you were a child, but it should be enough to entertain you, and you can also use it to understand the world on weekdays."
Hu Li's eyes immediately lit up: "Thank you, benefactor!"
"Hey! Just give it to her?" Irene was immediately dissatisfied, "I want one too..."
Yu Sheng glanced at her and said, "Can you handle a cell phone with your body size? It would be hard for you to get your mouth and ears to reach the microphone and receiver at the same time to answer a call, right?"
"Why not? I can even use your laptop!" Irene argued, "I'm holding it with both hands!"
It would have been fine if she hadn't mentioned it, but as soon as she mentioned Yu Sheng, veins popped up on her forehead: "How dare you mention using my computer? I haven't forgotten about the account!"
Irene's tone softened. "You've already hung me on the clothesline for half an hour, so we're even. And the total ban is only twelve hours..."
Yu Sheng opened his mouth and was about to say something when a light coming from a distant intersection suddenly interrupted what he was about to say.
The car I ordered on the phone has arrived.
He and Hu Li looked in the direction where the sound of the car came from at the same time.
A trembling little car came into their sight.
Irene: "Isn't this car... a little too shabby? It looks like it's about to be scrapped."
Yu Sheng watched the car go over the speed bump, and every time it clanged he was afraid that the bumper would fall off. He picked up his phone and confirmed the license plate number of the online car-hailing service. After confirming that this was the car he had called, he couldn't hold back his expression. "It's a bit old, but it's not to the point of being scrapped."
As he spoke, the car, which looked as if it had been moved seven times, squeaked and stopped in front of him.
To be honest, when the car stopped, Yu Sheng even seriously doubted whether it was a normal brake or a breakdown...
Then he saw the driver's window lowered and a familiar face appeared in front of him.
Xu Jiali's face.
"Is it you?"
The two-meter-tall man sitting in the driver's seat looked surprised.
