Mid-level partners are not considered big shots in the Inner City, but they are still seen as elites.
But everyone is here to make a living. Although Mag's previous words had stirred so resonance, making the scene a bit lively for a mont, the waiting crowd soon entered the hall and began to search for their tasks.
Even the "Four-Ard Vajra" was no exception.
After Mag finished her own tasks, she still glanced at Tao Yu.
"The tasks you want, I can recomnd a few to you, but they are among the more difficult ones with the sa score, so with very complicated entanglents. Co with ."
Tao Yu made good use of the convenience brought by his appearance.
Then he saw Mag approach the front desk, tiptoe to pull out a data cable, and plug it into the port on the back of her neck.
At the sa ti, she extended her finger, which morphed into an interface.
"Bring your watch here."
Tao Yu connected his watch with the other's interface and downloaded three task files.
However, at the sa ti, a look of surprise crossed Mag's face.
"Temporary authority? You're an Outsider?"
Although her voice was low, many people here had so skills, and quite a few heard her from up close.
They all looked over with the sa look of surprise.
"An Outsider?"
"No way..."
"Ah, I haven't gotten my Inner City status yet, but isn't this a bit bold?"
"Wait, an Outsider newbie, even with the advantage of points, shouldn't be able to earn enough to be close to a mid-level partner so quickly, right?"
"A stroke of luck? Did they complete so major task?"
"Even if they did, it's still exaggerated. I know a senior partner's son started a transportation company over there, and he should at most just about et the standard."
"..."
For a mont, the previously subdued topic began to stir up discussion once again.
anwhile, Tao Yu did not worry about the opinions of others and directly looked through the three tasks Mag had picked out for him.
[Debt Collection][Tax Clues Seeking][House Requisition]
Looking at these three tasks, Tao Yu also raised an eyebrow. The [Debt Collection] offered a reward of four thousand Yuan Force, primarily relying on the added weight of points, [Tax Clues Seeking] five thousand, and [House Requisition] eight thousand Yuan Force alone.
The tasks for partners are distributed by the company, akin to an outsourcing job.
What Tao Yu hadn't expected was that, after making his request, the nature of all three tasks was sowhat similar.
Debt collection and tax clues seeking were two different organizations.
One was the land-clearing departnt under the company's urban developnt division—the chanical Arm Team in the Outer City Science Departnt—who ordered a batch of equipnt from a factory in the Inner City, only to find the equipnt substandard upon delivery, resulting in a dispute.
Since the Inner City factory dared to do such a thing, they must have their own influence. Anyway, they couldn't make any official arrangents with the company, and in the end, it was just the Outer City chanical Arm Team that had to post a partner's task for help.
The following tax clues seeking and house requisition were pretty much similar scenarios.
"Miss Mag, as soone from the Outside, I don't quite understand. If I represent the company to complete the task, they won't threaten or retaliate against , will they?"
As Tao Yu flipped through the three tasks, he turned back and humbly consulted Miss Mag.
"That won't happen, but if you lack strength, you might suffer so minor injuries, and no one will seek justice for you. Just arrived in the Inner City to do tasks, trying them out won't do any other harm."
As she said this, Mag paused, gazing at Tao Yu's handso face, and then smirked sowhat wickedly.
"However, since you're so handso, you might suffer other kinds of losses."
"Then, am I allowed to fight back?"
"If you weren't allowed to fight back, why would we issue this task? Let's put it this way, if you take on this task and end up wiping them out, that's also within the rules. By taking on the task, you represent the company; this is the power of a partner!"
Hearing this, Tao Yu couldn't help but take a deep breath, his eyes growing brighter.
"Wiping them out is allowed? How dare they default on their debts? A team could take on a task, rob them clean, and it's all for nothing."
Hearing Tao Yu say that, Mag couldn't help but roll her chanical eye.
"They only allow extermination, but not looting, all the goods and spoils belong to the company, and you still have to pay taxes, plus compensate for the damage, who would be full enough to take on that?"
"Oh..., this is really..."
Tao Yu sighed with so regret, quite lancholic, as his plans for a quick fortune were nipped in the bud.
No wonder no one takes it, sigh...
While thinking this, he accepted all three tasks in front of Mag, who looked a bit bewildered.
Once all are completed, that should be about enough for the points of a middle partner.
Tao Yu was cautious himself, so he divided the point-deficit into three parts, to do three relatively easier quick tasks. Otherwise, a single task worth over two thousand points wouldn't be so simple, the risk would be high...
"Hey~, you're not serious, right? One hard task is enough, no need to touch three, even 'Four-Ard Vajra' as a middle partner doesn't take them, can't you see that?"
Right then, 'Four-Ard Vajra' happened to walk by nearby, seemingly having chosen a task already, and said to Mag with a smile,
"It's not necessarily so, Miss Mag, this ti I'm here to take on the [debt collection] task, that miser won't possibly keep dragging his feet forever.
"I had a chat with the deputy captain of the logistics brigade, and they are willing to let go of so benefits; deducting so costs and making a bit of pocket money should be doable."
Hearing 'Four-Ard Vajra''s words, Tao Yu also understood that most of these tasks could be considered 'favor' tasks.
Characterized by 'fast and efficient', they let so middle or even senior partners who could easily lend a hand act as middlen, these points and Yuan Force are purely 'interdiary fees'.
"Having accepted them, I have to give it a try, but being an Outsider makes it easy to be underestimated, causing unexpected complications, I need to find soone to act as a bridge..."
Then Tao Yu fixed his gaze on 'Four-Ard Vajra' who was nearby.
"Brother, are you trying to steal my task?"
Tao Yu rubbed his fingers together, making so creaking noises, and also deliberately showed a displeased expression on his face.
This action made everyone around who noticed stop and stare; 'Four-Ard Vajra''s red electronic eyes flickered, then he burst into loud laughter.
"You're quite clever, kiddo, wanting to tag along and gain so experience, right? Well, my father also ca from the Outer City, so consider it as giving you a hand."
These words made Tao Yu's face show an embarrassed color, what a strangely nice guy.
"Cough, you're not mad, brother?"
Tao Yu always went with the flow, his Spirit Perception indeed hadn't detected any malice, which made it hard for him to proceed.
And 'Four-Ard Vajra'looked at Tao Yu with surprise, speaking with a weird expression,
"Little brother, you don't think you looked fierce just now, do you? Haha, that's really funny."
Not fierce?
Tao Yu looked at his own stature, over one ter eighty tall, his body well-muscled, and dressed in battle gear, he certainly had a good appearance. Chapter Read:
But then Tao Yu also looked at 'Four-Ard Vajra''s four ferocious chanical Arms and the various devils and creatures filling at least half of the hall, which started to numb his expression.
From 'Four-Ard Vajra''s perspective, what he saw earlier must have been a vigilant juvenile beast, putting on a fearso face to intimidate him...
"Then I'll trouble you, brother, it's a good opportunity to learn about the process."
Tao Yu cleared his throat; it's best not to compete for the task then.
Mag spoke up at this mont,
"That's a smart choice, you're lucky, having a veteran bring you along for your first ti. Normally, you'd have to pay so Yuan Force for this, so be diligent along the way..."
'Four-Ard Vajra' laughed and patted Tao Yu's shoulder.
"For an Outsider to gather points so quickly in such a short ti, whether by luck or adventure, the talent can't be poor, so strive hard and try to establish a firm foothold in the Inner City..."
Hearing these heartfelt words, Tao Yu felt a stir in his heart.
That this guy ntioned his father was from the Outsider, it must be true, and he might have faced a lot of setbacks and discrimination as a child.
But most importantly, standing here at such a young age, within such a short period, made the other party willing to offer a helping hand!
