Absolute Zone Zero: I survive in Liufen Street
Chapter 60: Commission to the Cunning Rabbit House
"Ah... Ahhh!" Bai Yu sniffed and muttered to himself in confusion: "...Did I catch a cold from being in the night wind for too long? Or is someone thinking about me?"
"It's Nicole and the others~" Fufu sat on the edge of the tower, swinging her legs. She said unhappily, "You insisted on climbing so high to see the moon, and ended up being blown by a cold wind all night. You're taking advantage of the fact that you're not flesh and blood anymore and acting recklessly."
Even if you don’t get sick, don’t you feel cold? Don’t you have a headache?”
“…Hey!?”
"Hey, you big-headed ghost!" Fu Fu yelled angrily at Bai Yu who was pretending to be stupid and cute.
"...You just said Nicole and the others were thinking about me?" Seeing that things were not going well, Bai Yu immediately found a topic to try to divert Fu Fu's attention.
"You do this again, humph!" Fu Fu glared at Bai Yu, but she had no idea what to do with the man in front of her who was begging for mercy with his hands clasped together.
Fu Fu silently noted Bai Yu's presence in the database. Reluctantly, she said, "We just received a wave of emotional energy from the Cunning Rabbit House. I guess they were talking about us. After all, we just asked them for help yesterday."
"That's not what surprised me." Bai Yu looked at the sun that had just risen, raised his eyebrows and explained to Fu Fu, "I was wondering if they got up too early.
Cunning Rabbit House is not just a heavy industry enterprise that needs to work.
They've been discussing us this morning, and I wonder if there's anything they can help with."
"...Judging from the emotions, it shouldn't be." Fu Fu closed her eyes and checked the emotions she received, but didn't find any negative emotions like anxiety or irritability.
"Well, forget it. If there's something they really need us for, Nicole and the others will tell us themselves." Bai Yu stretched, opened his arms, faced the rising sun, and took a deep breath.
"It's a brand new day. Let's not think about these annoying things for now.
We'd better go to Uncle Jop to change clothes and go back quickly.
Otherwise, Susan will worry about us again." Bai Yu looked down at his originally white sweatshirt. After a night of fighting and crawling, it was already dirty and torn. "It's a pity for my clothes. I quite liked it. Now it's completely scrapped.
Forget it, let’s go buy some clothes together when we have time.
Speaking of which, Fufu, the clothes you wear now are basically all bought for me by Susan. It’s time to buy you some clothes of your own.”
"That's a good idea." Fu Fu nodded and replied, "After all, the appearance of a character is also an important factor in increasing popularity.
It’s time for us to consider Xiaobai’s character image.”
"Although what you said is right, why do I have a bad feeling?" Bai Yu's mind flashed back to the last time he bought clothes and was watched by people as he kept changing his clothes. He couldn't help but shudder.
"Hehe~ Xiaobai, just be good and listen to me. I will definitely design a set for you that is particularly handsome!" The flame of fighting spirit rose from behind Fu Fu, burning fiercely.
Bai Yu squinted his eyes, unable to tell whether what was dazzling was Fu Fu's determination or the rising sun behind her.
But the ominous feeling only grew stronger.
"...As long as you are happy." In the end, Bai Yu could only compromise helplessly.
Bai Yu followed the route planned by Fu Fu and killed several Yi Hai along the way. Only after Fu Fu's dissatisfied urging did he come out of the cave exhausted.
When the two of them stepped out of the hole and left, a pair of mechanical arms slowly stretched out from the shadows and fell towards Bai Yu's back.
"Woohoo! Capture successful!" The hand in the shadows lifted Bai Yu from under his armpits and lifted him high into the air. Billy, the robot in a red leather jacket, cheered as he stepped out of the shadows.
"Mission target Fu Fu, captured successfully.
Wait for the next instruction." On the other side, Ambi also hugged Fufu, gently trapping her in his arms.
"...Billy, Amby, and Nicole. How did you know we were here?" Bai Yu was lifted up and hung in the air with a calm expression.
In fact, before Billy caught him, Fu Fu had already discovered the three people in the Rabbit House. However, Bai Yu wanted to see what these three guys were planning to do by hiding, so he pretended not to notice.
Bai Yu, who was picked up, seemed not to care, but Fu Fu knew that Bai Yu must be secretly annoyed by his height again.
"Oh, oh, oh~~The mountain man has a clever plan." Nicole came out from the corner, put one hand on her waist, and said proudly.
"It was just luck, actually." An Bi bluntly said, "I sent a message, but no one replied. I called you, but no one answered.
Nicole guessed: You may not have come out of the hole yet.
So we decided to stop by and if we don’t meet you, we plan to wait for you near the Sheriff’s Bureau.
I ended up arriving just in time to see you guys coming out."
"Hey! Ambi! Don't ruin my plan!" Nicole glared at Ambi, then coughed twice, cleared her throat, and said quite formally: "Actually, we came here to repay the "life-saving grace" last time..."
"Wait! Wait a minute!" Bai Yu shuddered when he heard the words "life-saving grace" and interrupted Nicole.
Bai Yu patted Billy's arm, signaling him to put him down. Facing Nicole's puzzled expression, he helplessly explained, "I'm sorry, a lot has happened in the past two days, and I'm a little traumatized by the words 'life-saving grace'."
If possible, please omit the words of thanks. Just tell me the purpose of your visit."
"...It seems that there is a very complicated story hidden in these few short sentences." Nicole sighed as she watched Bai Yu give her a tired smile that was hard to describe. "Let me make it short. We are here to pay back the money.
The reward for saving people that we agreed on before, plus the reward for helping us find that bastard, there is a total of 100,000 yuan in this card. Please accept it.
Sorry, since that bastard is still in jail, this is all we have to pay for now.
If it's not enough, please give us some more time, Brother Baiyu."
Bai Yu looked at the bank card Nicole handed over, then looked at Nicole's sincere and heartbroken expression. He pursed his lips, suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth, and reached out to take the bank card.
The results were as expected.
Although Nicole gave the money readily, she was reluctant to let go of the bank card in her hand.
"...Won't you let go?" Bai Yu took a few steps back, clutching the bank card. He looked at Nicole, who turned away, with a malicious look, and moved along with the bank card. Finally, he couldn't help laughing.
"Uh... ahem. I thought you didn't take it. Ha, haha." Nicole reacted and immediately let go of her hand. She smoothed her hair to cover it up and laughed dryly.
“One hundred thousand dinnies, but we don’t really need that much.
We hadn't agreed on the amount of compensation at the time.
Are you serious about giving me all this money? Bai Yu asked tentatively, playing with this piece of paper, which represented all the savings that Cunning Rabbit House had worked hard to earn over the past half month.
One hundred thousand yuan, the Cunning Rabbit House must have taken on a lot of tasks and had hardly any rest. Now all of it was given to them.
“Although we didn’t mention the exact amount, we agreed that I would give you all the Dinny in my pocket as my reward.
In our industry, the most important thing is integrity.
"Now, we at Cunning Rabbit House are just delivering on our promise." Nicole spoke sincerely, her words very casually and handsomely. But the occasional glance at the bank card with a reluctant look directly betrayed her.
"Cunning Rabbit House is truly a renowned firm. I've truly felt your integrity.
You are indeed an excellent and trustworthy partner." Bai Yu flipped his fingertips, causing the cards in his palm to fly. He also praised Cunning Rabbit House.
Then he handed the bank card back to Nicole with two fingers, and said with a smile: "Then, I want to use the money in this card as payment to hire Cunning Rabbit House.
Are you willing to take on my commission?"
