This week’s task difficulty is quite pleasing—it’s an item with a code number starting with 3.
Considering what happened before, am I getting a little compensation again to prevent myself from going on strike?
Fu Qian leisurely thought as he listened to the prompt in his ear.
It does make sense, after all, last week’s incident was indeed quite serious.
But as serious as it was, there was actually no need for the warehouse to be so tense.
A salary of tens of millions is one thing, but I’m soone who hasn’t even considered giving up for less than a dozen or so SAN Points.
The only reason I would stop is if I found it uninteresting.
[Now entering containnt scene 3-0530]
As a task starting with a 3, there thankfully was no limitation of abilities. After a simple setup according to the prompt, the scene in front of quickly blurred.
[…5%…15%…30%…55%…75%…100%, load complete]
[This is a bustling tropolis, bright and beautiful, with neon lights and a lively nightlife, countless n and won busily pursuing the value and aning of life.
However, as one of them, you didn’t fulfill your duties as a student today and left school early]
My identity is a student again? Honestly, I don’t really miss my school days that much!
The background introduction in his ear was extrely simple, yet the content made Fu Qian couldn’t help but comnt.
“So what do you want to ask?”
At the sa ti, a gentle voice sounded in front of him.
As his vision restored, Fu Qian discovered the source of the voice.
In front of him was a dark wooden table, and a woman in her thirties was sitting behind it, her eyes fixed on him.
The woman was dressed simply and didn’t look particularly outstanding, but her eyes were very bright.
At the sa ti, Fu Qian noticed that the two of them were in a small space of just a few square ters.
Given the tiny window, the lighting, although not deliberately blocked, wasn’t very bright.
Behind the woman was a delicate rack, on which Fu Qian saw cards, copper coins, and various strange instrunts.
A Fortune Teller’s Cottage?
Fu Qian quickly made a judgnt.
No wonder she had such a question before—did I skip class to have my fortune told?
So what should I ask?
Fu Qian looked at the young woman in front of him without speaking in haste.
It has to be said, as a diviner, she did have a certain presence.
Her gaze was calm, her deanor relaxed, and she didn’t pretend to be mysterious or adopt any weird styling.
Furthermore, given that his powers were not restricted, Fu Qian was very certain that the woman in front of him was just an ordinary person.
[Current task updated, find the body of Kagetsu Kana before six in the evening]
Just then, a task prompt appeared in his ear.
Starting with finding a body? Doesn’t quite match the background introduction, does it!
Fu Qian lanted in his heart, but his expression remained unchanged.
“Can I ask about anything?”
“Yes, you can.”
The fortune teller sat there with great patience, showing no signs of impatience.
“I want to know where Kagetsu Kana is.”
…
As soon as Fu Qian asked his question, the previously unruffled female fortune teller furrowed her brow, finally showing a different reaction.
“Many people are looking for her, and I can understand why.”
After sizing him up, she didn’t treat Fu Qian as a troublemaker to be thrown out.
“But isn’t your age a bit inappropriate?”
Is she an acquaintance?
Fu Qian naturally caught the implication in her words and suddenly beca intrigued.
It makes sense why the task would have appear in this place now.
However, with his perception, Fu Qian could confirm that the little cottage, including the nearby area, was very clean and there were no bodies hidden anywhere.
“You might be mistaken, I just want to divine her location.”
Fu Qian said calmly.
“`
“Your excuses are as clumsy as anyone else’s.”
The fortune teller seed sowhat disinterested.
“Unfortunately, Kana hasn’t co to see for a long ti, and I don’t know what she’s up to.”
As she spoke, she casually jotted down a few notes, then tore off a sticky note and handed it over.
“If you’re looking to find her, you might want to ask at her ho.”
From the tone, this must be her sister, right? The two sisters didn’t seem on the best of terms.
Fu Qian thought to himself without any objection.
He took the sticky note the fortune teller passed to him, confirming it was an address.
“Thank you very much.”
Fu Qian wasn’t interested in correcting her misunderstanding and simply said his goodbyes and left.
…
The sun outside was clearly starting to set.
Fortunately, the address on the sticky note wasn’t far, and Fu Qian didn’t take too long to find the place.
And along the way, Fu Qian didn’t forget to observe his surroundings.
Initially, from what he had been told, there was no doubt he was in a very modern city.
Skyscrapers reached for the sky, and people bustled about, everything seed in perfect order.
It was a sha that in such a place, he needed to find a body.
…
“You’re looking for Kana?”
The destination was a small, detached house. After Fu Qian rang the doorbell, a middle-aged man with thinning hair soon ca out to answer.
Even at the sight of Fu Qian, the man furrowed his brow and asked directly without waiting for an introduction.
“Sorry, Kana isn’t at ho right now.”
So familiar, it seed Kana’s sister was right—this man was quite popular.
Fu Qian silently nodded to himself.
At the sa ti, he also confird that Mr. Kagetsu wasn’t lying.
In this residence, apart from the man before him, there was no one else, including the deceased.
“Do you know where she is?”
“Sorry, Kana is often not at ho, so I’m not sure where she is right now.”
Mr. Kagetsu’s response sounded like a rehearsed line, as if he had said it countless tis.
“However, if you really want to see her, I know where you can find her.”
Oh?
This last sentence surprised Fu Qian a bit.
“Where?”
“It’s not ti yet.”
Mr. Kagetsu shook his head, looking up at the sky.
“In a little while, every day at six in the evening, Kana goes downtown, to the Yasui Tower, to participate in observation tests. You’ll definitely find her there then.”
Yasui Tower…
This address ntioned by the man rang a bell for Fu Qian.
And soon, he recalled the source of this familiarity.
During the last discussion with Su Gao about the Native Council, she had ntioned the title of the King of Ye Island—if he rembered correctly, that person was in control of the Yasui Group.
So this is Ye Island?
“Observation tests?”
With this in mind, Fu Qian asked with a puzzled expression.
“Yes, she applied to participate in a drug trial and needs to have her body’s changes regularly recorded, so she’ll definitely be there at that ti,” said Mr. Kagetsu, still expressionless, and rather rudely, he even shut the door abruptly after explaining.
Drug trials every day at six, huh.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Fu Qian was deep in thought.
It seems he knew why it was important to find her before six o’clock.
