Ling looked at the electricity bill that Zhe gave her. The electricity bill was five times higher than last month and was quite eye-catching.

"…I'm sorry, I don't know what you're talking about."

"This guy always acts like an artificial idiot at times like this. It's because under her control, the HDD is running at full speed all day, so the electricity bill is naturally high."

If I continue like this, I'll definitely be out of money in a short time. Should I trade my emotions for some Dinny? Or should I go back to my old job of writing novels?

Thinking of this, Zhe also recalled the time when he first started writing novels on the Internet.

Because I had nothing to do at that time and wanted to earn some pocket money, I secretly created an account to write novels.

Because I read many excellent works in my previous life, and because of the collapse of civilization, many novels from the old civilization period have disappeared.

So it's no surprise that his novels became a huge hit, and many of them were adapted into comics.

It was only later, because of the Hollow Zero disaster and his subsequent business as a rope maker, that he tried to clear his teacher's name.

As a result, he had to put it on hold temporarily, and this pause has actually been several years. Even now, there are still a few loyal fans who urge him to update.

The main reason is that there is still a girl's school romance novel that has not been completed and has been in a state of discontinuation.

Ling on this side also looked depressed after hearing what Zhe said. It seemed that it was because of the heavy pressure of repaying the loan this month.

"Oh, I really want to go to the next door to connect some wires..."

"Well, you're making jokes like this now. Are you influenced by the Rabbit House? Actually, there's no need to take such a risk for money."

"Yeah, yeah. After all, they're so close that they even sleep in the same bed. How could they not be affected?"

When Ling said this, the expression on her face turned into a scornful smile, and even the look she gave Zhe carried an inexplicable meaning.

"Ahem, anyway, you don't have to worry about the income and expenditure. The main reason I came to you this time is actually because someone on the rope network suddenly named us and issued us a high-priced commission."

"Huh? A high-priced commission? How high is it?"

"Um... please, this isn't the point, okay?"

Zhe held his forehead with his hand helplessly, and Ling stuck out her tongue playfully when she saw this.

Of course she knew that this was very unusual, she was just a little curious.

Chapter 59 God’s blessing?

"Okay, I'm just kidding, so what exactly is the commission?"

"Putting aside the content of the commission, I think this is more like a rope net scam than anything else. After all, it's quite popular these days."

Having said that, Zhe suddenly thought of something and looked at Fairy beside him.

"Fairy, do you have any way to find out who issued this commission?"

"Please, all the accounts on the Rope Network are encrypted, even Fairy..."

Before Ling could finish her words, Fairy's voice came from the side.

"Yes, based on analysis, we have detected that the client probably belongs to Baizhi Heavy Industry."

"Huh? Really? I can really find it!"

Then, in front of Ling's somewhat shocked gaze, Fairy gave the reason for reaching this conclusion, which was just because of a blurry profile picture.

I couldn't help but sigh that the advanced artificial intelligence in the big data era is really terrifying, but this is not the end yet. Fairy issued another prompt.

"Master, a private message has been detected from the client who previously issued the designated commission."

"Hmm? The other party contacted us?"

"Yes, it has been detected that the private message contains certain threatening words. Please allow me to read the content of the letter to you."

"Why are there threatening words?"

After hearing Fairy's words, Zhe was also a little confused. Since it was a specific commission, why did it contain threats?

But before Zhe could think too much, Fairy started reading the contents of the letter aloud.

The content was roughly that the other party said that their current situation was very critical and they urgently needed the help of "Phaethon", but because the online explanation would expose their identity, they arranged to meet offline.

The time is 5 o'clock tomorrow morning, and the location is the intersection of Liufen Street. Anyway, Zhe has been listening to this point, but he still can't hear any threat to them.

"Fairy, remember to clearly state the target of the threat when you detect threatening words next time. It's easy to cause misunderstandings if you do this."

"Okay, Master. This command has been included in the 'Code of Conduct for the World's Strongest Artificial Intelligence'."

Haha, it’s just an artificial intelligence, but it really likes to brag.

After Zhe complained in his heart, he looked at Ling beside him.

"Hmm... Judging from the content of the letter, the client seems to be in real trouble, and his tone is quite sincere. However, the other party actually requested a face-to-face meeting, which is a bit suspicious.

"The rope network never requires a physical meeting with a rope craftsman without first explaining the details of the commission, especially at 5 a.m.."

However, what puzzled Zhe the most was that he had never mentioned Phaethon's identity on this account, but the other party knew it.

Did someone introduce us to them? Well, apart from Nicole, I really can't think of anyone else who would do this.

"Master, the client just sent a new private message: 'As a token of sincerity, I'd like to pay you 20% of the commission in advance as a deposit. I really appreciate it.' Your Rope Net account has received the corresponding amount."

Well, before we could figure out the situation here, the client had already paid the deposit in a hurry.

"Brother, brother, this, this is so much money, we..."

Ling took a quick look at the amount of the deposit, which was roughly equivalent to 1.1 times the total revenue of the rope net last month.

You have to know that they were still operating Phaethon's account last month, and this was only 20% of the total amount!

"Alright, although we said we shouldn't make this 'money or life' choice, it shouldn't be a problem if I just pretend to be passing by and take a quick look. Anyway, leave it to me."

"Oh? Is that okay? Brother, your acting skills never seem to be that good."

"I'm really sorry for my poor acting skills, but this time I don't need any acting skills. Besides, if I really encounter any danger, I can get away with it."

When Ling heard this, she thought of the last time Zhe rescued her from the cave. With such strength, letting him go is indeed the best choice.

"Well, if you really encounter danger, you must run away quickly, but don't let me worry, brother."

"Okay, okay, don't worry."

Now that this matter has been decided, the next step is naturally for everyone to do their own thing.

At this time, Zhe took advantage of his free time to open his writer account after a long time.

The last time an update was shown was several years ago. In that case, I might as well finish the unfinished novel first.

After making the decision, Zhe sat in front of the computer and started typing quickly, his fingers sliding quickly on the keyboard.

With his current physical fitness and reaction ability, typing is naturally a very easy thing, as for inspiration.

This requires drawing on many excellent literary works from previous lives. After all, it is for Ding Ni, so it is not shabby.

'Ding, my dear master, if you want to write a novel now, I highly recommend you to take a look at the updated mood value store.'

Hearing the system's voice, Zhe was also a little confused. Logically speaking, the system would not come out if the situation was not related to the favorability target.

But since the other party suggested this, he might as well go and take a look.

Mood Store:

Blessing of one of the four gods (SSS): 100000000 sentiment points.

Introduction: Master, which blessing do you think this system should have?

……

Different World Comic Novel Gift Pack (B): 500 Emotion Points

Introduction: Contains various comics and novels from another world. The system can help import them into the computer, and comes with master-level painting skills.

Storage space upgrade (1 cubic meter): 500 mood points

I took a look at the new things in the mood value store. The first one is also the most conspicuous. What the hell is it?

Putting aside its price, if you really buy it, are you sure nothing bad will happen?

"Master, please rest assured. This system will absolutely protect your consciousness and thinking, and your appearance will remain as charming as ever."

That's not the problem!

Then Zhe simply ignored this thing and turned to look at the gift package.

500 emotion points can be exchanged for 500 million dini, but considering the current prices, it is nothing compared to the things in the gift package.

After all, in today's new civilization where entertainment projects are scarce, the profits that can be obtained from these things are definitely more than 500 million dinars.

After exchanging it, Zhe continued to update, finishing the previous novel first so that he could put the new novel content on it.

As for the storage space, let’s not consider upgrading it for now.

Not long after, Zhe also posted the sequel to his previously unfinished novel.

Meanwhile, somewhere far away in the Outer Rim.

The blonde girl, who had just returned home and was about to take a shower, picked up her cell phone and took a look after hearing it ring. Her eyes lit up after seeing the content clearly.

"Huh? This novel is finally updated! I thought the author died in the Hollow Disaster."

There was no way. After all, when she asked someone to open the box of the other party, she found that the last login address was in hole 0, so she subconsciously thought that the person was gone.

Chapter 60 Accepting the Commission

"Well, this should be considered complete. It took more than 20 chapters to finish the story, so it shouldn't be considered a bad ending, right?"

After Zhe posted the last chapter, he didn't have to think about it. Anyway, there weren't many people reading it at the moment, so no one would object to ending it like this, right?

Then he suddenly received a private message in his background.

"Master, I've detected a private message in your novel's backend containing threatening words directed at you, Master."

"Huh? No way? I just finished saying this and someone sent me a private message cursing me?"

As Zhe spoke, he opened the private message and checked the content. The private message that Fairy mentioned contained threatening words was sent by an account called 'Jin Si Ji Ai Ge'.

Unlike the private messages sent by others with similar meanings like "resurrected", the overall meaning of the other party's private message was probably to complain about the fact that he had not updated for so long and that it ended hastily.

I took a quick look at the reward list and found that the other party was number one on my list. In this case, it seems I have to reply seriously.

'I'm sorry, but due to some things that happened in recent years, I haven't been able to continue working on this work. The end of this work is also for the creation of better works in the future. Thank you very much for your support.'

After replying to the other party, Zhe also sent this sentence to other readers who sent him private messages.

On the other side, 'Golden Silk Elegy', uh, to be more precise, Lucy, also looked at it carefully after receiving the reply from Zhe.

"Oh? Is that so? Well, then I will be magnanimous and forgive you."

As Lucy spoke, she guessed that the other party might have encountered some difficulties, so she gave him a lot of rewards and then sent another private message.

"Now that I'm back, I'll take the time to update. As long as you make me happy, I'll definitely give you a reward."

Just after sending this private message, Lucy discovered that the other party had a new novel in his works. Like the previous one that had just been completed, it was also a school girl's love story in peacetime.

Moreover, he directly published hundreds of thousands of words of content at one time!

As for Zhe here, after he posted part of the content of the novel, he naturally noticed the private message sent by the other party.

After a polite reply, I ignored it.

"Master, I've detected some unfamiliar data in the system. I suspect it's a hacker attack and am trying my best to intercept it."

"Oh, no need to intercept, I did that."

To be precise, it should be done by the system. Since Zhe didn't want to type it himself, he directly let the system import the novel into the computer.

"? But Master, you haven't used any technological products. The source of this data doesn't conform to scientific common sense."

"Hmm? Does emptiness conform to scientific common sense?"

"Sure. I've found dozens of research papers online that prove the existence of empty rationality. Would you like me to read them to you?"

"Forget it, it's better not to believe that kind of thing. Also, regarding this data, just treat it as my superpower and keep it a secret for me. Understand?"

"Understood. This data has been classified as Level 1 confidential."

After fooling Fairy, Zhe left the room on the first floor first.

Because Nicole and the others have to act as defense lawyers for the residents trapped in the cave, Ambi and Nekomata naturally have no time to come to the video store.
