Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street
Chapter 10: Commission from Nicole
"Why haven't you come out yet!" A beautiful woman with a hot body, sweet looks, and beautiful long pink hair tied into two ponytails is waiting. This is the boss of the Cunning Rabbit House: Nicole.
Nicole walked back and forth anxiously outside the cave, looking inside from time to time, although she could not see anything through the cave wall.
Her companions and rescuers had been in the cave for a long time and could not contact the people inside, so they could only wait outside anxiously.
“So slow…
Did I run into Yi Hai?! I shouldn't have listened to my "guide" who complained about my lack of energy, my slowness, and that I would be a drag on the team. I should have insisted on going with them! Nicole bit her nails and stood on tiptoe to peer around. She hated that she didn't have X-ray vision to see through the hollow walls, and could only stamp her feet anxiously. "Come out quickly, come out quickly, please don't get hurt!"
"Wow!!" Perhaps hearing Nicole's worried prayer, she had just finished speaking when a tall red figure tumbled out of the hole and fell in front of her.
"Wow!! What is that?!...Billy?!" Nicole was so scared by the person who suddenly jumped out that she jumped back a big step. When she looked closely, she found that the person lying on the ground was her worried companion Billy.
"Nicole... Boss..." Billy lay on the ground and reached out to his boss tremblingly.
"Billy! Hold on! I'll get you some first aid right away, don't scare me!
"Why are you alone? Where's Amby? Where's the reinforcements?!" Nicole helped Billy up and let him half lean on her arms, and asked anxiously.
As soon as the words fell, two figures jumped out of the cave.
Amby, carrying her rescuer on her shoulders, landed handsomely in front of her and Billy like a superhero.
"Amby! That's great, you're okay!" Nicole said, and without hesitation let go of Billy who was lying in her arms, and rushed towards Amby.
As soon as Amby put the person down from her shoulders, Nicole hugged her in her arms.
"I'm fine. Nicole, I can't breathe." Amby made a muffled sound in her turbulent arms.
"Boss, wuu ...
"Girls should just be intimate with each other, but you, a grown man, should stay out of it." Bai Yu, who had walked up to him at some point, squatted down and patted Billy's shoulder comfortingly.
"But I also want a loving hug from Boss Nicole!" Billy said unwillingly, "Boss, this is treating me differently! This is sex discrimination!! Woo woo woo~"
"Take it easy. If all else fails, ask the mechanical repair and modification technician if they can transform you into a female. Robots don't have gender anyway."
"That's fine. I'm used to the way things are now." Billy quickly calmed himself down. "Machines don't have gender. But once they develop self-awareness, they still have gender preferences."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere else? It seems like the collision you suffered last time was quite serious." Bai Yu asked considerately.
As expected, an accident happened on the last leg of the journey.
Originally, Bai Yu relied on Fu Fu's calculations to quietly lead the two of them around Yi Hai and get as close to the exit as possible.
It’s a pity that the handsome and powerful body of Billy, a 1.88-meter-tall bionic robot, is made of solid steel and cast iron.
As humans, the smaller Baiyu and Anbi can land silently and move nimbly among various objects, but Billy can't do it.
Although he could keep up with their speed, his height and weight still affected his movements.
Even though Bai Yu had taken Billy's situation into consideration, he still managed to alert Yi Hai. He entered the battle earlier than Bai Yu had predicted, and the debris that was supposed to protect their whereabouts actually became an obstacle.
So they had no choice but to rush out from the pile of debris.
Thanks to his digitized body and the fruits of his tireless training, Bai Yu, who was incapable of combat, was able to dodge Yi Hai's attacks on his own. Without adding to the pressure on his teammates, he led the charge towards the exit.
Ambi and Billy also relied on their own fighting abilities to repel Yi Hai without getting entangled too much, and followed Bai Yu's footsteps towards the exit.
But when they were only a few steps away from the exit, a skeleton suddenly jumped out and blocked their way.
Bai Yu was unable to dodge and almost ran head-on into Yi Hai's arms.
It was Ambi, who was following behind him, who reacted quickly, grabbed his collar, pulled him back into his arms, and fell sideways with him, thus avoiding the attack.
Billy, who was following behind them, noticed the situation ahead but did not slow down or stop.
Instead, he sent all his last ammunition to Yi Hai who was attacking him from behind, then accelerated and used all his strength to slam into Yi Hai who was blocking his way in front of him, knocking a hole in it.
That's why Billy rolled over and fell at Nicole's feet.
After Yi Hai, who was blocking the way, disappeared, An Bi immediately picked up Bai Yu and took him to avoid the pursuit. He quickly rushed towards the exit of the cave.
"So we still have to thank Billy. If he hadn't pushed Yi Hai out of the hole, we might have been surrounded." Bai Yu calmly told Nicole about his last escape experience.
"You're welcome, you're welcome! I was just trying to protect myself. Besides, if it weren't for me, we wouldn't have been discovered so quickly by Yi Hai." Billy scratched his head and said embarrassedly.
"I'm so glad you're all okay," Nicole said thankfully, hugging Ambi. "I thought we'd not only fail the mission, but also suffer losses.
That's a huge loss on this business! I'm so lucky that nothing happened.
As for the "radish" issue, I'll have a proper chat with that "rope maker"!
Thank you very much, Mr. Crow. But regarding the reward...
Please give us two days.
I promise! I'll make up the difference to you as soon as I get the final payment for the task.
If you are worried, you can go with us.
We absolutely have no intention of defaulting on our debt! The Cunning Rabbit House will never repay its benefactors with evil."
“As for the reward, there’s no rush.
But I think your search for that "rope maker" might not go so smoothly.
After all, if I were him, I would move on immediately after giving you the "carrots".
If you need anything, you can entrust it to me. My companions can help you." Bai Yu took every opportunity to promote his business. It's not that he lacks the money from the Cunning Rabbit House, although he is indeed quite poor.
Instead, they wanted to build good relationships with them in advance, so that they would have a more reasonable reason to join them when they were in danger in the future.
After all, games are games, and reality is reality. A little more power within the void means a little more security.
To be honest, Bai Yu had never thought that the first character faction he would come into contact with in the game would be the Cunning Rabbit House. This was not part of Bai Yu's plan.
He had accidentally connected with the Shepherd. He also wanted to find a time to formally meet Phaethon before the game's plot began.
Even though he encountered many cave robbers in the cave, he never expected that the characters in the game would also encounter such sudden dangers.
Maybe this is why they will get involved with the Phaethon siblings in the future?
Bai Yu pondered this and asked in his heart, "Fu Fu, if I hadn't shown up, would the people from the Cunning Rabbit House have escaped successfully? After all, they are important characters in the plot. Their fate shouldn't be cut short here."
"Yes, host. Even without our presence, the three from the Rabbit House would have left the cave smoothly."
It's just that you may suffer more.
Beyond the fate line, there must be other reasons for them to cross paths with the "Child of Destiny." The unreliable "Rope Maker" is naturally one of the reasons. Fu Fu confirmed Bai Yu's guess.
[Destiny] is made up of many small things, and what drives them are various emergencies or some ordinary things, which eventually become the [game plot] that Bai Yu is familiar with.
Bai Yu heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this, and at the same time, he had more speculations about his fate. He also realized more deeply that reality cannot be completely based on the plot of the game.
Many small things that are not mentioned in the plot can also bring unpredictable dangers.
However, this accident gave him more choices, allowing him to appear more reasonably in the plot, which can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.
"That's great! Thank you for your help. From now on, you are the super VIP guest of Cunning Rabbit House. If you need any help, please feel free to ask." Nicole was moved and held Bai Yu's hand and shook it up and down.
For a cave thief, it was absolutely necessary to get to know a reliable rope maker. After this incident, she no longer dared to find a rope maker casually.
Now, a powerful and seemingly trustworthy "Rope Maker" is right before her. If Nicole doesn't seize this opportunity, her years in the underworld will be in vain.
"Mr. Crow, I think what you said makes a lot of sense!
Then we at Cunning Rabbit House officially entrust you to help us catch that bastard! So that we can get our commission back and make a little extra money at the same time...
Ahem. I mean, get fair compensation. That way you'll get paid.
If possible, let's get in touch. In this business, having more friends means more options." Nicole continued to shake hands enthusiastically, as if she wasn't going to let go until she got what she wanted.
"Yes, yes! Mr. Crow, we at the Rabbit House are the most enthusiastic and reliable to our friends. If you need me in the future, just let me know. You're welcome!" Billy also chimed in. He came over and picked up Bai Yu's other hand, shaking it up and down along with Nicole.
Only Ambi, standing at the end, looked left and right. I don't know what was going on in her strange little head.
With a look of sudden realization, he ran between the two of them. He placed his hands, one on each side, on Nicole and Billy's tightly clasped hands, shaking his arms up and down.
"You better let me go first. Otherwise, I might not have a future." Bai Yu, whose whole body was shaking, tried hard to pull his hand back. But his own strength was still too weak, and he was no match for the strength of the three fighters.
"It's too late today. It's not the right time for us to settle scores with anyone.
Then we've made an appointment. We'll contact each other by phone." Nicole contentedly took the contact information, glanced at the statuses of the three of them, and said somewhat unwillingly, "That bastard got away with it. Let him have another day of freedom. I'll trouble you and your companion to check the information, Mr. Crow."
"It's okay, we'll find him.
Even if he hides in a rat hole, as long as he can access the Internet, he can't escape.
After all, even if it's for our own commission, we will be serious about it." Bai Yu rubbed his shoulders and said slowly. "In this case, let's say goodbye. The specific meeting time will be notified after we find the address of that person. You should have a good rest. Goodbye!" After Bai Yu finished speaking, he turned and entered the cave without waiting for their answer.
He was afraid that if he didn't run away, these three people would drag him into doing some relationship-building activities in the name of gratitude.
Sometimes distance creates beauty, and their enthusiasm really made Bai Yu a little overwhelmed.
"Oh my goodness! We just came out of the cave, and he went back in again?! Isn't he afraid of ether erosion?" Billy looked at the figure disappearing in the cave wall in shock, pointing at the cave and said to his companions in confusion.
"This is someone else's secret, so don't ask about it if it's none of our business!
Anyway, we will have time to spend together in the future.
The most important thing now is to get some rest. Are you two really not injured?
Let's go back and rest for a while. We'll know more about this mysterious Mr. "Crow" once we get to know him better." Nicole sorted Bai Yu's contact information into groups, put away her phone, and told her companions to go home.
Collecting debts tomorrow will be a tough job!
Small Theater
My first impression of Mr. Crow
Billy: A small, elusive, and somewhat aloof good guy!
Ambi: Agile, but not very combat-savvy. Judging from his gait, he's not been professionally trained. He's very intelligent, and his companions are also very capable.
Nicole: A softhearted and reliable person, she also has a fellow rope maker who's incredibly capable. We'll have to try and see if we can fit it into the bowl!
