Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!
Chapter 143 Two Commissions from Victoria's Housekeeping
It was another sunny day.
Su Chen, who obtained a complete set of Three Kingdoms Kill cards through card draws, was overcome by his card addiction.
Just as I was about to have a tense and exciting game with Nicole and the others, a client came knocking on my door.
A middle-aged middleman dressed in a suit and tie.
Nicole recognized the man immediately: Shepherd, a rope and net middleman with many stable clients.
She had the same profession as the one who had asked her to retrieve the safe from the Red Fang Gang a few days ago, but her reputation was much greater.
“Shepherd, you’ve come all this way, so you must have some difficult request that the Rabbit House needs to handle, right?” Nicole squinted and smiled like a fox. “If the reward isn’t generous enough, I won’t be interested.”
"Don't worry, the reward for this job is absolutely generous." The shepherd patted his chest and assured him, "A job to find an empty object will cost a full five million dinis!"
"If the client hadn't specifically requested that you 'save the rabbit house in Canvas Lane,' you could forget about getting such a cushy job!"
In fact, the Rabbit House's combat strength is very famous in the rope net; even without the newly joined ACE investigator, they are still a top-notch combat team.
However, due to its equally notorious double-crossing practices, few people are willing to hire the Cunning Rabbit House for lost and found items.
It's only recently, with the title of 'Saving the Cunning Rabbit House in Canvas Alley,' that things have gotten a little better.
However, the person who commissioned the lost item for five million dinis must have had a lot of nerve.
The Rabbit House may have shown kindness, but that doesn't mean they don't care about profit.
For such a large project, wouldn't it be better to hire a more professional and considerate company like Victoria Housekeeping?
"A five million Tenny's lost item!" Nicole exclaimed excitedly. "The item must be extremely valuable!"
"Ahem, the value of the items is not important. I think the reward for completing the commission is more worthy of our attention."
"What we're looking for this time is a spare chainsaw blade that was lost in a dead-end alley. It's very important to the client, but it's not something black market dealers like."
The shepherd was speechless. She hadn't even taken any action yet and she was already eyeing other people's things. The cunning and ruthless Nicole from the Rabbit House truly lived up to her reputation.
"Five million deniers for a chainsaw blade! Is this the world of the rich?" Nicole's eyes widened, and she said impatiently, "Shepherd, I'll take this job!"
"Yes, the deposit of two million Tennys will be transferred to your account soon, and the remainder will be paid in full after the commission is completed." The shepherd nodded, Nicole's reaction was exactly what he expected.
"What a thoughtful person, even offering a deposit!"
Nicole couldn't help but sigh.
After delivering the message, the shepherd quickly left, and Nicole then called on everyone to get moving.
"Su Chen, are you going or not?"
Nicole looked at Su Chen and asked.
"I dont go."
Su Chen shook his head and refused.
Finding lost items is the type of quest he's least interested in, especially when it involves finding something in a dead end or an empty space that's already been cleared. That makes him even less interested.
"Alright." Nicole didn't insist; this was a small matter that Su Chen really didn't need to handle. "Ambi, Billy, Neko, let's go!"
So the four of them, along with their protector Baal, set off for the Dead End Void.
In the room, only Su Chen remained, preparing to review the highly acclaimed Three Kingdoms Kill game alone.
Just then, the doorbell rang again, catching Su Chen's attention.
"who is it?"
Su Chen got up and opened the door with some curiosity.
Is Lingmei here to ask him to play video games at this hour?
Standing at the door was a handsome and elegant wolf-man with smooth fur, and three maids, each with their own unique characteristics.
"Hello, Mr. Su Chen, I am Lekahn, the butler of Victoria Housekeeping." Lekahn bowed, displaying his elegance to the fullest. "It is an honor to meet you for the first time."
The shepherd designated the rabbit hutch as the client, and the item they were looking for was Corinne's broken saw blade.
This action was naturally intended to lure Nicole and the others away, to probe Su Chen's intelligence, and of course, to eliminate other variables.
"Hello, Mr. Su Chen."
Led by Lina, Ellen and Colleen bent down at the same time.
"Hello, Mr. Su Chen..."
Eileen said somewhat awkwardly.
"Hello to all of you." Su Chen responded to the group first, then looked at the somewhat uncomfortable Ellen: "Also, hello Ellen, you look very beautiful today."
He certainly knew who these people were, but apart from becoming friends with Eileen, he didn't seem to have much interaction with Victoria Housekeeping.
Could it be because of the time Eileen fainted while playing games with him?
Eileen, dressed as a maid, looks even cuter than when we first met.
"..."
Eileen didn't want to talk.
Meeting Su Chen disguised as a maid made her feel a little embarrassed.
"Please forgive our abrupt visit." Lycan saw Su Chen's confusion and said in a deep voice, "We have come here because we have encountered an insurmountable enemy. We have heard that Mr. Su Chen is a respectable and powerful person, so we have come to ask for your help."
"Of course, we have already prepared the corresponding reward. As long as you make a move, you will receive a reward of one billion dinis."
After gathering intelligence over the past few days, Lycahn knew that this Mr. Su Chen was extremely eager for Tenny, just like the apparent boss Nicole.
A billion dinis is an extremely high reward, top-tier even in the ropes.
"..."
Su Chen narrowed his eyes slightly.
Victoria's housekeeping team had a very clear goal: to get him.
Logically speaking, there doesn't seem to be anything Victoria's housekeeping skills absolutely require him to do.
But I can't say for sure.
What if they only came to him for help because they heard he had cleaned up the reputation of the entire hollow?
Even Victoria Housekeeping found Yi Hai unmanageable, which piqued his interest.
His magnetic field rotation technique certainly requires a sufficiently powerful opponent.
He was also a little envious of the reward of one billion denarii.
Thinking of this, Su Chen smiled and said, "It must be quite troublesome that the renowned Victoria Housekeeping has sought out an outsider like me."
Lykahn was a little nervous. Was Su Chen going to refuse?
“Logically speaking, I personally hate trouble.” Su Chen glanced at Ellen, “However, since Victoria Housekeeping is so sincere, and Ellen is my friend, I can’t ignore her troubles. I’ll take this job.”
Lykan breathed a sigh of relief and said sincerely, "Thank you for your help. Victoria Housekeeping will never let you down!"
After saying that, he added in his mind: as long as they're not from that side.
"..."
Eileen stomped her foot slightly, feeling a little guilty.
Su Chen said he agreed to this in order to help her, but she came with the intention of testing Su Chen's intelligence.
well,……

Thank you so much for the generous donation from the generous friend, Kuyouling. I've fallen behind on a lot of chapters, but I'll do my best to make up for it.
Let me push myself a bit and see if I can challenge myself to update four times a day.
There might not be an extra update tomorrow, because I need to check on the information for the new version.
