I deliver food in a bizarre world

Chapter 133 A New Commission

"Hey, has the sun risen in the west? You're late today!" Zhou Mingyu poked his head out from behind the computer screen, sniffing hard. "You even brought food! Have a change of heart, huh!"

"Go away!" Chen Mo placed the pan-fried buns on the desk next to him. "I ran into an acquaintance at a stall on the way here and bought too many. Anyone here who hasn't had breakfast yet?"

Li Wenjing put down her work, smiled, and walked over, picking up a bag: "What kind of filling is it?"

Chen Mo looked around: "There are all sorts of people. How many more are there?"

Zhou Mingyu also came over and rummaged through the plastic bag: "One went for morning exercise, and the other two are still asleep."

"Morning exercise? It's almost ten o'clock, is that still morning exercise?" Chen Mo immediately complained.

"Well, there's nothing I can do about it. I didn't go to bed until 2 a.m. last night, so I woke up late."

As they were talking, Su Yifan came downstairs yawning. He looked a little listless, with dark circles under his eyes.

"Your condition... what did you do after dropping someone off at home last night?" Zhou Mingyu asked, his mouth full of pan-fried dumplings, his speech unclear.

They came back last night and went straight to sleep; they were just too tired.

Su Yifan yawned widely, slumped in his chair, looking completely drained.

"Don't even mention it! That jerk lives in a place even further out than the suburbs. It takes two hours to drive there and back, a total of four hours!"

"Ah-Jie didn't have a driver's license, so I had to keep driving! By the time I got back to the office, it was already dawn!"

"This kid was super excited the whole way, asking all sorts of questions... I almost thought he was a spy sent by the rivals. Luckily, Ah Jie had plenty of energy to chat with him, or I would have gone crazy!"

Chen Mo handed him a cup of soy milk: "Thank you for your hard work, the situation is special."

"It's nothing, I'm just sleep-deprived. I got up to run the water and heard some noise, so I came down to check. I need to go back and sleep for a few more hours..." Su Yifan waved his hand, took the soy milk and chug it down, then disappeared.

"But seriously, boss, after what happened last night, our agency is now completely famous. I just checked my phone, and even gaming forums are talking about us. Our studio's social media accounts are flooded with inquiries and requests."

Li Wenjing picked up the stack of printed papers she had been looking at: "That's what I was just about to say."

Chen Mo was speechless: "Another order?"

Last time it was because of Xiaoxing's request. After all, they are classmates, so I helped her if I could, and I didn't charge her any money.

"No, it's a follow-up to what happened yesterday. This morning, four families pooled together about 200,000 yuan and brought it over as a token of their goodwill. What should we do with this money? Should we return it?"

Chen Mo thought for two seconds and said, "Since it's here, let's accept it. We're already here! Oh, and give some to the other seven people too. They helped out, so you can divide the rest among yourselves."

Zhou Mingyu said, "And the game developers of 'Fantasy World' also took note of what happened yesterday. They called this morning to inquire about the incident. Should we tell them?"

Chen Mo nodded. This was a good thing; there was no reason to refuse.

"Just briefly explain the situation, omitting the information of the person involved, but don't mention anything taboo. Also, discuss with them whether they can disable the single-player mode during midnight hours. Why does an online game need a single-player mode... I'm speechless!"

No matter how many conditions are met, as long as you can't enter single-player mode, you still can't achieve your ultimate goal!

"What caused this incident? Boss, do you have any ideas?" Li Wenjing asked.

"I don't know. It would take too much time to investigate. We don't have enough manpower or experience. We can just leave the rest to the public opinion survey office," Chen Mo encouraged his father. He would just ask them directly when the time came!

"Okay!" She nodded. "I've done a preliminary screening, eliminating requests that are obviously pranks or beyond our capabilities. Basically, they're all here, only three."

She placed those documents separately on the table.

Hearing about the prank, Zhou Mingyu couldn't help but laugh: "It's kind of funny. This morning, Sister Jing received a phone call. Someone actually asked us to go and capture aliens. She almost cursed them out."

Chen Mo looked completely bewildered.

"Forget about whether aliens exist or not, even if we caught one, the first thing we'd do is hand it over to the government! What was this person thinking?!"

While complaining, he looked at the information that Li Wenjing had compiled, which consisted of three commissions.

The first case came from an old residential area on the eastern coast of the city. The client said that the furniture in his home would move by itself in the middle of the night, and there were handprints on the walls that could not be washed off.

The security bureau went to check but found no signs of human intervention. The old lady then called the polling office, but they simply didn't have enough staff.

The second case came from a young white-collar worker living alone. She insisted that she could hear the sound of marbles coming from the ceiling every night, even though no one lived upstairs.

Another appeal came from a farmer in the suburbs, who said that his chickens and ducks had been dying one after another without explanation, with a third of them already dead, causing losses of several hundred thousand yuan.

The chickens and ducks all had small holes in their necks, and their bodies were shriveled. The farmers suspected that they might have been infected by something unclean.

Chen Mo glanced at the quotes; none of them were low, with the cheapest commission being around 30,000.

"None of these are actually that dangerous, which one should we choose?"

Chen Mo examined it carefully: "The bloody handprint and the movement of objects seem to be caused by low-level wandering spirits or obsessions. These two are relatively low-risk and suitable for you to practice at this stage, and also to accumulate some experience in handling these kinds of routine events."

"However, it would be best if all three of us took a look... The first and second ones might just be the Polders phenomenon, have you heard of them?"

Li Wenjing nodded: "I know that. There's a folk saying about this kind of situation: 'a mischievous little ghost.'"

Chen Mo said, "Yes, the third one could be a snake or a weasel..."

Zhou Mingyu thought for a moment: "Considering the large number of dead poultry, if it's the result of these two animals preying on each other, then these animals should be overpopulated..."

Chen Mo nodded: "Yes, so we can rule out that it was hunted by natural enemies."

He looked at everyone and said, "Everyone, please rest well during the day and do some preparation work. Adjust your mindset. Jingjie, please contact the client and arrange a specific time. Once they wake up, we'll go to the east of the city together to check on the situation. Mingyu, check the background and past records of that neighborhood."

"good……"

In the afternoon, after conducting a preliminary investigation of the area surrounding the residential area in the east of the city, they did not find any major problems.

So everyone met with the person who had made the request, Grandma Wang, and Chen Mo went to Grandma Wang's house alone to check on the situation.

After his confirmation, it turned out to be just a stubborn obsession stuck in the same place, without any resentment, and could be easily soothed and guided.

Although he can solve the problem easily, he can't always be the one to do it.

So Chen Mo told the homeowner that he needed to go back and make some preparations, and that he would proceed with the specific handling the next day.

This was a test he had arranged for everyone, and also the reason why he came to the site alone to conduct the investigation.

Since it's an exam, it should naturally be closed-book!
