Chapter 158 Three Commissioned Tasks



The moment their eyes met, Lin Xi felt a pang of sadness again.

This person's build is so similar to Lin Wang's.

"We meet again." She smiled.

The man still standing at the top of the stairs was very indifferent to Lin Xi's enthusiastic greeting.

These three guys, whether human or zombie, are incredibly warlike.

He blacklists all warmongers.

“We’ve met twice in one day, it’s quite a coincidence. May I ask your name?” Lin Xi ignored the coldness on his face and continued to greet him warmly.

The man turned around, walked to room 304 next to the mid-level zombie, took out his room card, opened the door, and went inside.

They were completely ignored.

Although Lin Xi found his attitude strange, she didn't say much, since some people are just naturally aloof.

Perhaps he belongs to this category.

Lin Xi felt even more disappointed. Lin Wang was different; he had been known for his outgoing personality since childhood and was a true social butterfly.

She was eloquent, academically excellent, and good-looking, and had many suitors since childhood.

It seems that apart from their physiques, they have absolutely nothing in common.

She turned around, took out her card, and opened the door.

After resting for a night, Lin Xi led her older sister and younger brother for a stroll on the street the next day.

There was a homeless singer on the street, playing and singing with a guitar.

A group of people who had left their hometowns gathered around him, tears streaming down their faces.

Lin Xi did not stop.

Walk across the street, turn left, and the third shop has a signboard that reads "News Service" in crooked handwriting.

The name was quite unique. Lin Xi stopped and looked around outside for a while before going inside.

There was nothing inside except for a counter.

The description of the slovenly man with a cigarette dangling from his mouth made Lin Xi frown involuntarily.

She tried to be polite, "Hello, boss, what kind of business do you do here?"

The man didn't even look up, a cigarette dangling from his mouth, and his words were very mumbled, "Didn't you see the sign? They're selling information, huh?"

Lin Xi looked inside.

"Stop looking, I'm all alone." The man held the cigarette between two fingers, and wisps of smoke rose from his slightly open mouth.

How much does the information cost?

The man then raised an eyebrow and looked directly at Lin Xi.

"Aren't you going to ask anything else?"

What should I ask?

The shop owner chuckled. "Almost every customer who came to me before asked me what kind of information one person could find, and whether the information was reliable. Don't you have those questions too?"

"Since you've opened your shop for business, you must have your own messaging network, right?"

"No."

Lin Xi's brow twitched.

The boss was surprisingly honest.

The older sister glanced at Lin Xi and said, "This guy is dressed like a conman. Why don't we ask our younger brother for help?"

Lin Xi shook her head; the idea seemed unrealistic at first glance.

Their zombie horde hasn't even penetrated into Worry-Free Island yet, so how could they possibly know what's going on inside?

It's better to ask a local.

"It doesn't matter. Didn't you write it here? You're honest and trustworthy. I'm willing to believe you." Lin Xi stared intently at the shop owner.

The shopkeeper flicked his cigarette ash. "Don't worry, you can pay after you confirm the information is accurate."

Who is the leader of Worry-Free Island? What is his family background and what was his profession before the zombie outbreak?

The boss held up one finger. "This problem requires a mid-level crystal core."

Lin Xi handed it over.

The boss didn't expect Lin Xi to be so agreeable, and reached out to push Lin Xi's hand back.

"It's settled then. After I tell you the message, you go and confirm it first. Come back to me after you've confirmed it's accurate."

"Worry-Free Island used to be a city in Southern Province. After the apocalypse broke out, the governor of Southern Province rushed over immediately and naturally took over all the political affairs of Worry-Free Island. If you usually follow current affairs news, you should know that the owner of Worry-Free Island is named Yin Zhenhe."

"He is 53 years old this year, and has a 26-year-old son. He was wandering in the mainland before and only recently returned. His wife is said to have died when the apocalypse broke out. That's all."

"You can confirm it as soon as possible. After you confirm it, come and deliver a mid-level crystal core."

Lin Xi frowned when she heard his words. This guy was really strange. Wasn't he afraid that he would skip out on the bill?

Just as she stepped out the door, her boss suddenly called her back.

"By the way, what's your name again?"

"What does this have to do with the name?"

The boss opened a notebook, holding a ballpoint pen in his hand, "I need to make a note of this."

Lin Xi thought for a moment, "Just call me Wuming."

The boss looked up, his eyes filled with question, "Huh?"

"I don't know what my name should be either," Lin Xi said with a helpless smile.

The shop owner sighed, "Let's choose another one. The name you suggested has already been used by a previous customer."

Lin Xi couldn't believe it. This wasn't a name at all. How could anyone still be using it?

But judging from the boss's demeanor, he doesn't seem to be lying.

Lin Xi changed her address, "Then you can call me Lao San."

The boss still found it strange, but nodded, "Okay."

So I wrote it down.

After Lin Xi left, the boss was still muttering to himself.

That's really strange.

In both of these transactions, the employers were anonymous.

He shook his head and turned the page.

nameless.

The task at hand: Find out who he is?

This is a strange person; he can even forget who he is.

Unfortunately, he has been working on this task for almost half a year now, and he still has no clue what to do.

How could this be? This nameless person seems to have appeared out of thin air.

There is absolutely no record of this face.

It's a pity, the commission offered by this person is fifty mid-level crystal cores, he probably won't be able to earn that.

He closed the notebook with a hint of regret and put it in the drawer of the counter.

He continued smoking to pass the long, boring time, waiting for the next customer.

Lin Xi went directly to the government building to stake out the area.

After confirming that the leader here was Yin Zhenhe, Lin Xi returned directly to the message bank and delivered a mid-level crystal core.

The boss didn't expect her to be so quick. After putting away the crystal cores, Lin Xi hadn't left yet.

"Third brother, is there anything else?"

"I want to buy three more pieces of information."

The boss's eyes gleamed with excitement as he rubbed his hands together, exclaiming, "Wow, a big order!"

"First, find me a level seven healing-type man. His healing ability can both release toxins and have a healing effect."

The boss became serious.

"The second one is a middle-aged man with a female zombie. The man has psychic abilities, specifically puppetry."

"Lastly, find a man named Lin Wang. He should stand out in a crowd. He's very handsome and has a mole at the end of his left eyebrow."

"It'll be a bit challenging, but it shouldn't be too difficult. Fifteen mid-level crystal cores."

Lin Xi smiled with satisfaction upon hearing his words.

"Waiting for good news."
