Butler: This is a small item; I didn't specifically record its origin. If Miss Xia likes it, I can have some custom-made for you.
Xia Chuhe watched as the butler's loyalty level finally settled at 80 (Don't worry, he will never betray you, but everyone has their little secrets).
Sure enough, there's a little secret.
Having little secrets is fine, as long as it doesn't stop you from being a good tool.
Xia Chuhe continued to argue with the housekeeper: No, I just saw the unique pattern on it.
The butler's heart skipped a beat. Did he know this person or not?
Regardless of whether we know each other or not, let's state our position first.
Butler: This is my favorite pattern. I've used it for 26 years and will continue to use it in the future.
This sentence contains a lot of information.
Xia Chuhe is now 100% certain that her parents have a close relationship with the wasteland.
This pattern has existed for at least twenty-six years.
Twenty-six years ago, Xia Chuhe's parents were twenty-nine years old when they decided to have a child.
My parents when they were twenty-nine years old...
Xia Chuhe didn't know.
Only then did she realize that she might not be a good enough daughter.
She would learn about the experiences of her favorite celebrities and historical figures, from their birth to the present day. Xia Chuhe wouldn't say she knew everything about them, but at least she was aware of their major life turning points.
However, the people you need to understand become your own parents.
Xia Chuhe then realized that she didn't know what her parents had experienced during their childhood, adolescence, and youth.
All she knew was the part of her parents' lives as parents.
Apart from that, she knew almost nothing.
Xia Chuhe once asked her why she didn't have grandparents on either side.
Xia Qingxue explained that they died in a natural disaster, and before they died, they protected their child with their lives.
Xia Chuhe didn't think much about it at the time. After all, it's not uncommon for entire families to lose their lives in natural disasters like earthquakes and tsunamis.
Xia Chuhe also asked Xia Qingxue and Lu Xingyi how they survived after losing their parents.
Xia Qingxue said that she relied on government assistance and work-study programs.
That's a very reasonable answer.
Besides these, Lu Xingyi would occasionally mention that he and Xia Qingxue were childhood sweethearts, inseparable since they were little.
But he never said what kind of childhood friendship they had, or how innocent and carefree they were.
Xia Chuhe never asked; she simply assumed her parents were showing off their affection and pressuring her to get married.
Looking back now, Xia Chuhe realizes just how small the probability is of the few things that happened to her parents that she knows about.
The two childhood sweethearts, both orphans, built their businesses from scratch, transforming a farm spanning thousands of acres and encompassing the entire food processing industry chain within just ten years...
How powerful does one need to be to have such an extraordinary life?
The snowflake logo on the rice seedlings is the farm's symbol, but the housekeeper is using it.
In the context of the wasteland world, this means that Xia Qingxue, Lu Xingyi, and the butler might belong to the same organization.
Putting that aside, coincidentally, the time the housekeeper mentioned was exactly one year before Xia Chuhe was born.
What was her birth like?
Is she really... the product of her parents' love?
For the first time in twenty-five years, Xia Chuhe, who had firmly believed in this, began to doubt his own existence.
When it comes to her parents and her own background, Xia Chuhe's mind is in turmoil, and she is unable to think rationally.
Xia Chuhe forced himself not to dwell on the past and to focus on the present.
Right now, the first step is to win over the housekeeper and show him a friendly attitude.
Asking for help can bring you closer to others. It also shows that you trust them and believe they can help you.
Xia Chuhe continued the butler's words: "I see. It seems this pattern is very important to you. By the way, I have something to ask you. Where can I buy Five Star Company's special bullets?"
Butler: We can't buy them. However, as a company partner, Miss Xia can accept small tasks assigned by the company and apply for ammunition. I might be able to offer some assistance with the process.
The implication is that it's a small, simple task. First, request ammunition, and I'll approve it. Whether or not ammunition was used during the mission is something the company can't verify.
Xia Chuhe watched his parents discuss business from a young age, and later worked as a corporate slave for several years.
She understood the housekeeper's meaning.
Xia Chuhe: Understood, thank you.
A good follower never lets the leader finish speaking.
Butler: Miss Xia, you're too kind. It's what I should do.
...
After ending his conversation with the butler, Xia Chuhe browsed the forum where mercenaries accepted missions.
Five Star Company posted some tasks on the forum, with difficulty ranging from one star to five stars.
The simplest approach is to collect contaminated soil samples from various locations, followed by submitting copies of relevant reports.
Since there's no need for fighting, it's naturally impossible to apply for bullets.
The small task the butler mentioned was that a certain mutated creature had appeared in a certain place, and Five Star Company needed a part of the creature for research.
These types of tasks are somewhat dangerous and challenging, but compared to dungeons with seven days of unknown content, they are indeed small tasks.
Xia Chuhe has no interest in taking on this kind of task for the time being.
There's still time to reload when we run out of bullets.
...
Wang Yan was born and raised in Caishi.
He was very efficient, and within half an afternoon he had selected a batch of houses that met the requirements for Xia Chuhe.
Money makes things easier.
Xia Chuhe looked at several houses in the afternoon, and before nightfall, he signed a purchase agreement with the base.
Pay in full, 1.1 million, to purchase a two-story house on the ground floor. Each floor has two bedrooms and a living room, with a 30-meter yard and a windbreak.
The house was located on the perimeter of the building, and the guards only patrolled it once every two weeks.
