Otherworldly Singer: Pure-hearted Wolves and Fiery Love

Jiaoyue picked up a tablet, clicked on it, and then handed it to Zhou Qiqi: "Look, this is the current auction of finished sheet music."

Zhou Qiqi wondered: An auction?

Slide your finger.

There are only ten sheet music sheets, and they are all white-scale sheet music. The auction period seems to be 15 days and 30 days.

Huh?

Zhou Qiqi saw that two of the sheet music were up for auction, and the seller listed in the notes was Ning Xueting.

Looking at the auction information, Zhou Qiqi was surprised: "Did Ning Xueting put up the artwork she created on the day she was activated upon enrollment to make money?"

Since losing the competition with Zhou Qiqi, Ning Xueting is now penniless, so he has no choice but to put these two sheet music up for auction.

Jiaoyue, with her sharp eyes, spotted the screen Zhou Qiqi was browsing.

She used the conversational techniques she used with clients: "This Miss Ning Xueting has accepted the recruitment of the local military department where the Qin family is located. Her competition with that red-rank singer, Miss Zhou Qiqi, has been quite exciting lately."

Zhou Qiqi glanced at Jiaoyue.

Jiaoyue continued, "This Miss Zhou Qiqi currently commands an extremely high price for a head on the international assassin list, but we have already managed to remove her from the list. High-ranking singers are the bottom line for humanity, and this cannot be compromised. Besides, Miss Zhou Qiqi is only an adult now; in our eyes, she is still very young and has a bright future."

It sounds like this mercenary association in China has a lot of principles.

Jiaoyue gave a wry smile and said, "However, I'm not sure about international private deals. If someone hires a one-on-one assassin to try and kill Zhou Qiqi, I'm afraid the young lady's situation is still not optimistic."

Zhou Qiqi's expression changed, and she immediately became unhappy.

It seems she needs to frantically improve her skills and increase her personal safety!

Jiaoyue slowly said, "We have now identified the international party that is paying for the assassination of Miss Zhou Qiqi. They are from the Peacock Empire. If you would like to take the job, you can do so."

"It just so happens that a group of people from the Peacock Empire are in our country."

Zhou Qiqi was taken aback.

His expression turned strange.

The mercenary association not only canceled the assassination bounty on Zhou Qiqi.

They even want to hire someone to kill the real order placer behind the scenes?

Zhou Qiqi asked Jiaoyue curiously, "Aren't you afraid of breaking the rules and affecting the Mercenary Association's reputation?"

Jiaoyue explained, "Our mercenary association isn't a real assassin organization; it only relays orders from clients. This incident of killing the client might have misled you. The order wasn't issued by our mercenary association; it was placed by some clients."

Zhou Qiqi put down the tablet and continued to ask, "Aren't you worried about incurring international diplomatic responsibility by killing these foreigners in our country?"

Jiaoyue blinked: "If you successfully complete this kill, then other clients will naturally come to you."

Understood.

Zhou Qiqi was speechless.

So this woman recommended her to assassinate people from the Peacock Empire so that other assassins could capture and kill her after she completed the mission.

This isn't how you double-cross someone, is it?

That's a total rip-off.

Zhou Qiqi stood up and said in a flat tone, "Beautiful moon, see you next time~"

Jiaoyue quickly stood up and bowed, saying, "Please take care, sir."

Put on the hood.

Worried about being monitored, Zhou Qiqi took several detours before finally meeting up with Uncle Wu.

The black market not only had a sales area, but also a job market. In another large abandoned factory, people were everywhere discussing hiring and cooperating.

Each year, only about a thousand children who turn 18 can reach 50 energy points. Most mercenaries fall below this standard; they fail to enter the Holy War Academy and are recruited to the front lines as soldiers, eventually retiring as mercenaries.

Mercenaries hunt strange beasts everywhere, and the beast beads, hides, bones, and other items they drop can't be sold in public places. But if individual vendors want to sell these goods, they need to team up and find partners to hunt beasts, so there needs to be a place for them to exchange information.

The black market solved this major problem.

This regularly open market, which brings together a large number of mercenaries and intermediaries, is not illegal. The black market is the result of a power struggle among multiple forces, so it actually has official support.

Zhou Qiqi is going to the black market, and the Zhou family will not stop her.

Many scions of prominent families would secretly frequent the black market, partly to broaden their horizons and see all sorts of people, and partly to understand market trends and find the talent they needed.

Zhou Qiqi followed Uncle Wu to the job market area.

"Boss, boss!"

A young man stopped Zhou Qiqi and Uncle Wu.

He said to Uncle Wu, "Boss, look at me and my brother. We're top-notch. We can kill some rare beasts for you and run errands for you. My brother is amazing. Don't let his stoic appearance fool you; he's incredibly strong, a genuine mid-level warrior!"

The young man, with a shy smile, pulled along a man of similar age, wearing a mask and with a blank expression. After they finished speaking, the young man looked at Uncle Wu with expectant eyes.

Uncle Wu smiled kindly and waved his hand: "Sorry, young man, we don't need to hire anyone..."

The taciturn man suddenly narrowed his eyes and looked at Uncle Wu: "You are an expert, you are a high-level expert."

This statement came out.

Uncle Wu's smile vanished, and his eyes behind his sunglasses flickered.
