They were dragged directly to the manager's office, where Ruan Xin pressed Liu Nian down into the manager's chair.
Taking a walkie-talkie out of her pocket, Ruan Xin told him to wait and then rushed out, seemingly to find Chen Ling.
I heard her shout from outside the door: "Bring me some snacks."
I thought there would be a story about an unforgettable encounter with my beautiful boss in the office, but the female lead ran away. What am I going to do now?
I need help urgently!
Undisturbed, Liu Nian let her thoughts wander aimlessly.
Turning my head to look around the room, I could tell from the arrangement of the furniture that the owner of the room was an impatient person.
Yes, it fits Ruan Xin's personality perfectly, almost exactly like Liu Nian's old doghouse.
Everything was a complete mess; you could even see her underwear that she hadn't hidden properly.
A moment later, someone knocked on the door and came in.
A woman dressed as a waitress came forward carrying some snacks.
The woman carefully placed the snacks on the coffee table in front of the chair and then backed away.
The whole process was clean and efficient, without making a sound.
"She looks trained," Liu Nian thought, watching the woman's figure.
It was a pity that these uniquely shaped pastries were wasted. Years of social experience had cultivated his cautious personality, and he knew it was best to avoid eating food from strangers.
After waiting for a while, Chen Ling, Ruan Xin, and Zhou Momo came in one after another from outside the door.
Wow, three people? It's hardest to resist the charms of a beautiful woman!
Ahem, it seems no one else is coming in. Time to get down to business.
The three took their seats one by one, and none of them made a move to speak.
Seeing that no one on the other end of the line spoke, Liu Nian also had no intention of speaking, and the atmosphere at the scene was somewhat dull.
Thinking about how he had failed to defeat that boss several times, he wondered how long he could keep this a secret.
Chen Ling didn't remain silent for long before speaking first: "It's still about what Momo brought up yesterday. I wonder what your thoughts are on it?"
"Don't worry, whether you succeed or not, I will pay you a satisfactory reward!"
What do you think? Of course, no problem.
However, Liu Nian did not rush to answer.
Answering too eagerly will make people think you're also in a hurry; you need to remain calm when you have the upper hand.
While Chen Ling was still waiting for Liu Nian's answer, Zhou Momo suddenly spoke up from the side: "Just say yes!"
Liu Nian looked at Zhou Momo helplessly. What kind of bewitching potion had been given to this silly girl? She had been won over to this extent in just a few days.
Don't let yourself be sold out and then help the seller count the money!
Fine, I was going to agree anyway, so I'll give you face now.
After pretending to think for a moment, Liu Nian looked at Chen Ling and replied loudly, "Okay."
"This is only because of her," Liu Nian said, pointing at Zhou Momo and then changing the subject.
For the sake of our past acquaintance, this is all I can do to help you; the rest is up to your own fate.
You didn't listen to a word I said yesterday; I don't know if that's a blessing or a curse.
Any relationship should be based on consideration of value. I hope that after seeing me as an outsider, they will carefully consider their decisions before making any decisions.
"Two thousand crowns, three item cards, and a Tier 1 skill book."
Looking at the conditions proposed by Chen Ling, Liu Nian expressed her own thoughts.
"If what I need comes out at that time, I have the right to choose first."
"If the boss is killed, its corpse belongs to me!"
Asking for help already requires preparing substantial resources, and prioritizing allocation should wait until the boss is defeated; this isn't a major issue.
As for the corpse, that's even less of a problem. It's useless to me anyway, so I can do a favor for it.
Chen Ling pondered for a moment. These conditions were within her bottom line, and she even had a small profit margin.
After glancing at Zhou Momo, it seemed that Ruan Xin was right; Zhou Momo was worth nurturing.
Several thoughts raced through her mind, but Chen Ling's face remained expressionless: "Agreed."
"Ruan Xin, bring the skill book over here!" Chen Ling said to Ruan Xin.
Unfortunately, none of his subordinates were able to successfully change jobs, as necromancers have too high a demand for mental energy.
"Consider this a deposit. I hope Mr. Liu Nian won't refuse." Chen Ling took a card from Ruan Xin and handed it to Liu Nian with a smile.

"Good stuff," Liu Nian calmly accepted.
"Get ready, we're off now, let's try to take it before dark."
After agreeing on the terms, Chen Ling immediately made the announcement.
"Okay," Ruan Xin said, taking the walkie-talkie and going out to make some arrangements.
Outside the hotel, Liu Nian didn't ride a motorcycle this time, but instead got into a car with Chen Ling.
The driver was clearly an experienced driver; he drove very steadily, and Liu Nian did not feel any noticeable bumps.
Along the way, Chen Ling chatted with Liu Nian about various things, asking about Liu Nian's plans.
Liu Nian ignored her, saying she needed to rest.
Undeniably, she was very charming, but Liu Nian wasn't interested in her.
After driving for an unknown amount of time, they stopped their car at the foot of a mountain.
After I got off the bus, several more cars drove up behind me.
A rough count revealed a total of thirty-five people, all of whom were professionals.
Even this couldn't defeat the boss?
What kind of boss is that?
Liu Nian became interested.
Following Chen Ling and her group along the mountain path, they found a spacious platform halfway up the mountain.
The platform is now occupied by two enormous humanoid creatures.
It is not difficult to distinguish them from their appearance as a male and a female infected person.
Liu Nian used information gathering on them.
The level is unclear; it's all just a bunch of question marks.
All I know is that the man is called the Butcher and the woman is called the Berserker.
They were all over two meters tall, with light purple skin and some pustules on their skin.
The Berserker was much smaller than the Butcher and was protected behind the Butcher.
Chen Ling explained the tactics to everyone: this killer can stun and use a shock attack, while the berserker can spray poison and heal.
I haven't played the later stages, so I don't know yet.
Liu Nian listened attentively to Chen Ling's explanation.
The Butcher's stun is a single target, while his concussion is an area-of-effect attack.
The Berserker's poison spray and healing abilities are both group-based, although they can only heal two targets at a time.
Berserkers are clearly geared towards the role of healers, which are often prioritized for elimination in the game.
Since no one can stop the Butcher and the Berserker from joining forces, there is no way to separate them for the time being.
And the most fatal thing is that they currently lack the means to interrupt, and several times they could only watch helplessly as the opponent regenerated health.
Chen Ling originally had more than just this many people. Looking at the humanoid corpse left in front of the boss and the expressions on everyone's faces, she knew what had happened.
These skills were all discovered by risking one's life!
When tactical arrangements were being made, a discordant voice rang out upon hearing that Liu Nian was to be the main damage dealer: "I have an objection!"
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and when they saw it was him, they all looked on with expressions of anticipation.
Chen Ling sighed helplessly. This person was capable, but also had an exceptionally bad temper.
Upon hearing Liu Nian's name, he instantly flew into a rage.
