126: Untitled

"...What kind of trouble have you stirred up? Tell me about it."

Karl's unhurried voice came from the other end of the communication.

Fang Yun chuckled after hearing it:

"Heh heh. Actually, it's like this."

"Blah blah blah... blah blah blah..."

"In short, I now have two people, or rather, high-quality laborers, in my hands. Not only are their prosthetics very high-end and they're excellent at work, but their learning ability is also exceptionally strong. Most importantly, their minds are still very pure. With the right guidance, they can grow into upright and good people."

"Such easy-to-get good material is rare."

"So, do you want to take them in?"

After Fang Yun finished his string of praises, he waited for Karl's reply with some trepidation.

"..."

"You've finished listing the benefits, so let me talk about the drawbacks."

"The hostility of the Vortex Gang, the attention of a certain company's higher-ups, the attention of the Carter Company, the animosity of the person behind the Four-Eyed Gang, a series of problems that need to be faced in guiding their growth, the acceptance of new members by the tribesmen, and so on and so forth."

"Do I need to keep going?"

As Karl listed more and more "drawbacks", Fang Yun's heart kept sinking.

After hearing Karl's question, Fang Yun was silent for two seconds, then said with regret:

"It seems you don't agree to take them in. Sorry to trouble you, Karl. I'll think of other ways."

Just as Fang Yun was thinking about what other methods there were to properly settle Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou, Karl's words gave him new hope:

"No, that's not what I mean."

"Although this matter has many drawbacks, the benefits it can bring are also obvious."

"Besides, this is also your request, Valentine, and Toke's."

Speaking up to this point, Karl paused slightly.

After hearing the names Valentine and Toke, Fang Yun's heart immediately warmed.

Karl thought for a moment and finally gave a suggestion:

"I've decided to take in Hua Meiying and Bai Xuerou as external members."

"Their tent will be set up next to yours. The troubles they bring will be resolved by you, and their guidance will also be completed by you."

"How about it? Can you accept this?"

After hearing Karl's suggestion, Fang Yun raised an eyebrow:

"Hiss..."

"[It's a good thing that Karl agreed to take Hua Meiying and the others into the Buckle Family Camp. Keeping them under my nose is also a good suggestion. However, I always feel it's a bit difficult to explain to Vavinia. This is the first time I've done a commission, and I'm bringing back two puppets... that doesn't seem right, does it?]"

"[Forget it, things will work out in the end.]"

"Okay, your suggestion is pretty good. I think it's fine."

Karl nodded, putting an end to the communication.

"Send me a message after you bring the people back. Anything else?"

"Nothing else, you keep busy, I also need to continue with the commission."

The communication hung up, and Fang Yun leaned against the door of the secret room, thinking for a while.

"[It's probably better to tell Vavinia about this.]"

To show that he had no secrets from her, Fang Yun quickly summarized the entire sequence of events and sent it to Vavinia through his permanent communication account.

After more than ten seconds, Vavinia didn't reply.

"[She might be busy with something else, I'll continue with the commission first.]"

"[For players, it's common to leave a quest halfway through, wait for ten days to half a month, and then come back to continue. But in the real world, you obviously can't do that. It's too unprofessional. (Laughs)]"

Fang Yun sent Vavinia a message saying "Going to do the commission first, talk later", then closed the communication interface and decided to finish the commission first.

Turning his head to take a look, Fang Yun found that they had almost finished eating.

So, Fang Yun turned around and clapped his hands.

"Look at me, look at me, I'm announcing something."

"Has everyone eaten enough? If you've eaten enough, come with me and wait above ground."

"This secret room is dark and damp. You've been locked in here for several days. Hurry up and go up to get some sun and breathe some fresh air."

The many women looked at each other, then all looked at Fang Yun and nodded quickly.

"We've eaten enough, we've eaten enough."

"Let's go up."

Seeing this, Fang Yun nodded:

"It's on. Let's go!"

...

Fang Yun led the people from the secret room up to the ground, and then let them find a place to sit down and rest.

When they came up just now, they were startled by the "crime scene" on the second basement level.

To be honest, when Valentine and Toke went down to find Fang Yun, they were also a bit surprised, not expecting Fang Yun's method of killing to be so savage.

As he walked up, Fang Yun also conveniently went to the warehouse and carried up some magnesium strips.

After instructing them not to wander around casually, Fang Yun carried the magnesium strips and walked towards the trunk of the thunder.

This batch of magnesium strips wasn't long or numerous; the trunk of the thunder should be able to fit them just right.

Old Captain was really right, this was just a "small commission", it was only tricky because it involved the Four-Eyed Gang.

Give the "Four-Eyes Murderer" and Old Captain a bit more time, and maybe they could have even negotiated it themselves.

Fang Yun put down the magnesium strips, clapped his hands, and came to the driver's side window. Toke was sitting in the driver's seat.

"Toke, I'm here."

"Oh. Is it finished?"

"Not yet, almost. I need to figure out a way to send these people back to where they came from."

Fang Yun said, gesturing behind himself with his hand.

"My idea is to ask Old Captain first. If he's willing to help, then I won't need to find other methods."

Toke rubbed his chin and didn't respond.

Fang Yun didn't say much more and directly dialed Old Captain's number.

"..."

After a few seconds of silence, the communication connected.

"Hello? Fang Yun? What do you need me for?"

"Yo, Old Captain. I've finished the commission. I'm loading the magnesium strips into the car now and will send them over to you in a bit."

Old Captain fell silent.

"[Loading magnesium strips, commission finished. In a bit... This guy couldn't have wiped out the Four-Eyed Gang in such a short time, could he?!]"

"If I'm not mistaken, you've already eliminated the Four-Eyed Gang."

Fang Yun laughed heartily when he heard Old Captain's words.

"Hahaha. Not bad, Old Captain, you guessed quite accurately."

"But I'm not looking for you to show off my strength, but because there's something I'd like to ask for your help with."

After hearing Fang Yun's reply, Old Captain was surprised, but at the same time, he gained a clearer understanding of his strength.

"[It seems the information I gathered might all be true. Fang Yun is indeed very strong and worth making friends with.]"

"...Tell me. As long as it's not a big deal, I can help."
