Chapter 207 An Excuse for Free Meals
Linghu Yi has been feeling like he has no taste in his mouth lately.
He has always been quite picky about food, but ever since he had a meal with Ms. Zuo Shan (number 999), he has been savoring the smooth and sweet double-skin milk pudding.
After leaving her house, he left District 48 because there were some things he had to handle personally.
Before leaving, he specifically instructed the real Hurricane Messenger No. 48 that once the member No. 999 had a new order, whether it was for pickup or delivery, he must notify him immediately.
He couldn't figure out if he wasn't satisfied with his curiosity about her or if he wanted to keep asking her for meals, but he was used to leaving room for uncertainty when it came to the unknown.
He had just returned to his villa a couple of days ago, and only then did he have time to check the messages sent to him by Hurricane Messenger No. 48.
When he arrived in District 48, he came as a headquarters inspector. When he took over the identity of No. 48 to pick up the goods, he said it was to personally experience the hardships of the lower-level employees.
Number 48 had no doubts whatsoever, and in order to curry favor with him, after he left, Number 48 went out of her way to find out all sorts of information about Zuo Shan, sending him a message every day through the back-end email.
Upon seeing the 13 unread messages in his email, Linghu Yi almost deleted them all.
However, thinking of the delicious food Zuo Shan made, he still held back.
He opened the information one by one and found that, sure enough, the first-hand information obtained from the on-site investigation was incomparable to the information recorded by the authorities.
The message mentioned that Zuo Shan has recently been in close contact with Gu Rong, a hidden bigwig in District 48. He had seen information about this old lady Gu in some encrypted documents from high-level officials.
Because of her powerful healing abilities, this old woman was one of the longest-living immortals on the entire planet Green Algae.
Furthermore, this old lady was a person of strong character; she only treated those she deemed worthy of treatment.
A powerful family once tried to imprison her and make her their family's dedicated healer, but she threatened to kill herself, forcing them to release her.
After all, their purpose in wanting to imprison the healer was to treat the injuries of their family members. Since she was willing to risk her own life, if they were to kill her because of this, they would become the common enemy of all the major families.
In the end, they had no choice but to compromise and release her.
However, this incident completely shattered her pride. She left the Inner District 10 and chose to live in seclusion in the most remote District 48 at the time. She also made an agreement with all the major families that she would only use her healing ability three times a year, and the quota for healing would be fought for by those major families themselves.
In this way, she could both find peace and leave the difficult task of choosing a doctor to treat to those powerful families, letting them fight tooth and nail for those three spots.
As far as he knew, this old lady was very arrogant and had lived in District 48 for many years, with only one servant, Gu Yongzhong, by her side.
But how did Zuo Shan, an orphan from District 50, catch her eye?
Hmm, this matter is not simple, or rather, Zuo Shan, this woman, is not simple.
In fact, she was indeed extraordinary; her culinary skills alone were enough to make him drool.
The message from number 48 also mentioned that the old housekeeper of Madam Gu personally ran errands to rent a piece of land for Zuo Shan. They recently sowed a lot of mutated poplar seeds on the land, and the seeds have already sprouted and grown into seedlings.
Number 48 didn't understand why Zuo Shan wanted to plant mutated poplar trees; he was only responsible for collecting and transmitting information.
The last message sent by number 48 was that Zuo Shan had taken up the family collection quota of Ding Tai, a mercenary from the Fearless Mercenary Group, and had taken his son and sister to collection point number 99.
As a result, an accident occurred there. Seven mutated pangolins that had escaped the joint operation by two mercenary groups to eliminate the mutated pangolins burrowed into the ground from the border of the neighboring District 47 and attacked the mercenaries' families, resulting in 18 deaths.
However, before the danger occurred, Zuo Shan warned everyone to run away quickly, while she herself took her sister and Ding Tai's niece, Ding Yi, and ran away first.
Most people ignored her warning and suffered as a result, while Zuo Shan and her group escaped the disaster unscathed.
Seeing this, Linghu Yi finally curled his lips into a lazy smile:
"Hehe, this is getting more and more interesting! A scavenger who clearly has no superpowers can foresee danger?"
The ability to foresee danger is an extremely rare branch of psychic abilities. People with this ability can usually successfully avoid danger and live for a very long time.
With enough time to accumulate experience, one should be able to advance to at least the sixth rank or higher, right?
Thinking of this, Linghu Yi logged into the Ninth Forum, wanting to see if she had any plans to continue selling sausages recently, so that he could go over and mooch another meal.
It turned out that she hadn't logged into the Ninth Forum since selling the last batch of sausages.
She managed to refrain from posting any more ads to sell sausages even after receiving a full 5 million silver coins. She really has great composure!
So what excuse should he use to go over and freeload again?
After much deliberation, he remembered that the Ninth Forum seemed to have some kind of birthday gift giveaway for members at level A and above.
He immediately checked her birthday, but unfortunately, it was still three months away.
What about her immediate family? Oh, right, she's an orphan; all her immediate family members are long dead!
Wait, something's not right! She also has a son. Linghu Yi immediately clicked on her son's information and found that the child's information was very simple, only his date of birth and name.
Everything else is blank; they haven't even received the wristwatches that newborns are supposed to receive, so naturally there's no biological information or genetic map.
However, in remote areas like District 48, the infant mortality rate is extremely high, so it is not surprising that the information entered for children under three years old is very simple.
Okay, that's not the point. The point is, the baby will be one month old tomorrow!
Great, he's finally found an excuse to freeload a meal.
