"A bigger stage..."
Yin Zhu pondered for a moment, still harboring some doubt: "Can He really do it?"
"I'll give it a try." Hirano San opened the box, used the plastic fork next to the box to take a small piece of cake, and put it in her mouth. As she tasted the dessert, her eyes narrowed slightly, curving into two small crescent moons.
"Is it good? I think you'll like it."
Yin Zhu did buy it because it looked nice, but there was another reason: this small mini cake was the largest she could buy with the money she currently had.
Yin Zhu is now living paycheck to paycheck, spending every penny she earns.
"It's delicious." Hirano Sanmae paused, perhaps feeling that the answer was too simple, and added, "I'm very honored to be able to eat something so delicious..."
"Ahem, you don't need to use honorifics with me." Yin Zhu quickly interrupted her long string of praise.
"Speaking of which, what time does Jennifer usually come back?" Yin Zhu remembered that she also lived in a poor people's apartment, but she was a freelancer and wasn't sure about her schedule.
Hirano San glanced at the door: "You're back."
No sooner had the words been spoken than footsteps approached from afar, finally stopping at the door with a knock.
Yin Zhu stepped forward and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Jennifer, with a backpack full of magic props on her back.
Seeing the person who was supposed to return in a week appear before her, Jennifer immediately took a few steps back, distancing herself from Yin Zhu. Hirano Sane, inside the house, knew what she was thinking and quickly pulled Yin Zhu away, inviting Jennifer in.
After the three closed the door, Yin Zhu briefly repeated his purpose: "I have a possible way to pass the test. Can you contact Solomon so we can go find the Chosen One of the Pantheon together? My employer promised that I could bring other people with me, so I came to ask for your opinion."
Jennifer and Solomon's Good Spirit became friends, and after exchanging information, they agreed to meet at a fountain in a park an hour later.
There were still about three hours until dark, enough time to take action.
The three left the apartment cautiously. Yin Zhu, considering that Hirano Shan did not have a benevolent spirit officer, deliberately went ahead to ensure that they would not encounter the Bureau of Surveillance or patrol robots that would check citizens' ID cards along the way.
After a lot of effort, Yin Zhu finally arrived at the park. Wiping away her sweat, she asked, a little puzzled, "Why didn't we meet at the apartment?"
“Solomon found that guy, but he didn’t want to come to the poor people’s apartment, saying that his place was too far from the apartment and he wouldn’t be able to get back to his hot spring resort on time.” Jennifer explained to Yin Zhu in a nice tone, but her expression was actually not good.
Clearly, Jennifer also found Zoe too annoying.
"Alright."
Yin Zhu didn't pay much attention to this matter.
The rules of this park are similar to those of other parks I visit, except for the addition of some local technological features.
However, another problem arose after they came out.
Not every robot is only used for patrolling. Just three minutes after Yin Zhu and the other two sat down on a bench near the fountain, a small bird flew to a nearby branch.
Yin Zhu tilted her head to look at the little bird, feeling that the reflection in its eyes was not quite normal.
It doesn't look like a bird's eye; it looks more like metal.
"What are you looking at?" Hirano Shan turned her head and followed Yin Zhu's gaze, noticing a small bird perched on a treetop, seemingly watching them as well.
Jennifer noticed it too and quickly warned Yin Zhu, "You're not planning to shoot the bird, are you? The park rules say you can't damage the flowers, trees, or the animals here." As the chosen one of the Lavender Kingdom, she had filled in the information on the chosen ones of several major countries after returning to Earth last time.
Generally speaking, the death rate of Chosen Ones is higher in smaller countries, while it is easier to find Chosen Ones in larger countries who can complete the game consecutively.
That sounds like a card game.
For nations, selecting a chosen one is indeed like drawing cards. Until the chosen one survives and clears the level, no nation knows whether the chosen one they have drawn will be reliable.
Even though the nation's fortune increases with each successful level and the chosen ones have a basic level of intelligence, other problems will still arise.
For example, personality, or way of thinking.
In the intelligence reports from Lavender Country, Yin Zhu was explicitly mentioned for one thing: his thinking was somewhat unconventional.
Of course, other chosen ones who excel in certain aspects will also be mentioned, such as Hirano Sane from the Sakura Country being gentle and polite, the chosen ones from the Peacock Country having a rather volatile temper, and the chosen ones from which countries have criminal records...
After learning that she had become teammates with Yin Zhu and Pingye Shan, Jennifer paid some attention to the former.
If Hirano San is generally considered reliable and has a steady track record of clearing levels, then Yin Zhu is known for her outrageous behavior. In addition, the Dragon Kingdom's intention to conceal specific details about Yin Zhu makes it difficult for other countries to judge the purpose behind her many actions.
Yin Zhu smiled and shook her head: "It's nothing."
She didn't intend to shoot the bird, but she felt that the bird was a bit strange, like a man-made bird-shaped monitor.
In this world, there are all sorts of ways to monitor people. Only those who live in poor places and are not valued can gain more privacy.
Mary's upscale apartment not only had security cameras at the entrance, but also inside. However, Mary's mother abused her power to maintain a degree of control over her family's privacy; otherwise, there would have been no opportunity to carry out the plan to move the entire family out.
When she made her request to Yin Zhu, Yin Zhu had a general idea of what it was about.
Mary's mother, as a senior employee of the oversight bureau, was only one step away from becoming a senior citizen, which allowed her to tamper with the surveillance system in her own home without being detected.
What she wants to do now is to keep Yin Zhu living at home, creating the illusion that no one has left.
In fact, the whole family moved out of Viña City.
She could buy herself a few days by taking leave, and by the time the company and the supervisory bureau discovered that his family had moved, it would be too late to hunt them down.
This plan is highly feasible, but only if there is a trustworthy person to cooperate with it.
Yin Zhu was the person she chose.
