The one who welcomed Yuan Tianxing was a Deputy Chief of Sea City Base, who was also the only female among all Deputy Chiefs.
"If you want to find these people, you can create a mission in the Mission Hall. As long as you pay, I believe some people will be willing to go," Yan Fangyu sat on the couch as she looked at Yuan Tianxing and gave him a suggestion.
She was a pretty woman, looking around twenty-five or twenty-six years old. But in fact, she was twenty-nine already. She was the only woman in the base who was at the peak of level-six, and was about to step into level-seven.
Yuan Tianxing was here to find Wu Chengyue, but as the latter wasn't in the base, he met Zou Shizou instead. Zou Shizou was a busy man, so after the first polite meeting, he asked Yan Fangyu to help Yuan Tianxing.
They wouldn't lend their army to Yuan Tianxing, but as long as he paid enough, quite some people with skills would be willing to work for him.
Yuan Tianxing smiled and responded, "Thank you for providing me with a platform for hiring!"
Yan Fangyu smiled elegantly, then said half-jokingly, "Even though you're handsome, we won't help you for free because of that. We charge for our work too."
Yuan Tianxing responded carelessly, "Ah, I understand! I brought some, just don't know if it's enough." While speaking, he asked Du Yuanxing, who stood behind him, to take out a little cloth bag which was designed to contain jewelry. Then, he opened the bag and poured what was inside it on the table.
Clang! Three zombie nuclei fell on the table.
Yan Fangyu recognized them as three level-five zombie nuclei. That was a little too much, so she hurriedly waved a hand and said, "Ahyaya, this is too much! We didn't do you much of a help, did we? As this is our first cooperation, I'll give you a discount." While speaking, she stood up and walked to Yuan Tianxing, then bent her slim waist. A refreshing aroma invaded his nose immediately.
She picked one zombie nucleus, then straightened up and turned her head to smile at Yuan Tianxing. Afterward, she went back to her seat.
"One is enough. Normally, we'll charge one level-five zombie nucleus and five level-four, not as much as you offered. Today, I'll only charge you one level-five, for your sake."
'For my sake?' Yuan Tianxing continued smiling while looking at her. However, the look in his eyes turned meaningful.
Yan Fangyu sat down and crossed her long and slender legs as she smiled at him and asked, "What? Don't you trust me?"
Yuan Tianxing shook his head and responded, "I surely believe that Miss. Yan won't lie to me."
Yan Fangyu looked at him straight in the eyes, then said, "Alright then, give me a list of the technicists you need, then I'll publish it for you. You can put up the reward amount, or you can negotiate it with them later."
Yuan Tianxing nodded and replied, "Sure, I'll have my people send the list to you tomorrow. Thank you for helping us!"
Yan Fangyu grinned, gazing at him in a meaningful way while saying, "You're welcome! If you really want to thank me, how about joining me for dinner? I wonder if Mr. Yuan will be willing to have a meal together with me."
'Here it goes!'
Yuan Tianxing felt a little embarrassed, but still, he maintained a polite smile while responding, "Of course I am! It's my pleasure to have dinner with such a beautiful lady."
Standing behind Yuan Tianxing, Du Yuanxing wore no expression on his face, though he had already burst into screams internally.
'Wow! Deputy Chief! You do have some fortune in love affairs! As I thought, you're able to make a living with your appearance!'
'Why can't I be so lucky? Ah, I'm so jealous, so jealous.'
Afterward, the two Deputy Chiefs went to the canteen together for dinner. Soon, Yuan Tianxing received lots of gazes containing strong hostility. Many people stared at him enviously. Most of them didn't know who he was, so they just threatened him with their eyes.
Yuan Tianxing smiled at Yan Fangyu and said to her, "Miss. Yan, you're really popular! I guess if your suitors in the base lined up, the line would even extend outside the base."
Yan Fangyu, who was sitting in front of him and eating with an elegant manner, turned to coldly glance at the surrounding people. Instantly, those people turned their eyes away from Yuan Tianxing.
After that, she turned back and gave Yuan Tianxing a faint smile, then responded, "They just want all pretty women for themselves. I just can't understand why you men are all so possessive. When you can't have something that you want, you'll tend to use violence. Moreover, these people just like my appearance."
Having finished talking, she picked up the goblet and took a sip of the wine as Yuan Tianxing looked at her with surprise. He didn't think that this woman could be so frank off work.
She was right; those men looked at her with their eyes filled with desire, with no other feelings at all.
He had been in Sea City Base for a few days, and had learned quite a lot about this base. Regarding pretty women, two of them were the most famous among everyone, and one of them was Yan Fangyu.
Yan Fangyu managed to become a Deputy Chief, which meant she did have some capabilities. She was efficient and capable, and was at a high power level. Besides, she had a strong vibe. She was beautiful indeed, but men could only appreciate her from a safe distance away; because if they attempted to approach her, they might get burned.
Another famous pretty woman in this base was notorious. She was beautiful too, but was only an ordinary person. She didn't have any power, neither was she willing to work. She would get tired in just a couple of days and quit even during simple jobs.
She was not only lazy, but also a bully and trouble maker. She bullied others recklessly only because she was the mistress of a base leader.
People weren't afraid of her, but were afraid of the base leader who was protecting her. Therefore, they never dared to voice out their discontentment when she bullied them.
Yuan Tianxing forgot to ask people about that evil woman's name. He had heard that she caused people trouble almost every day, so after she died, people even applauded for her death.
After politely finishing the relatively luxurious meal with Yan Fangyu, Yuan Tianxing returned to his room, where he asked Du Yuanxing about the evil woman's name.
Du Yuanxing answered his question with a weird look, "Ah, that woman…I heard that her name was Lu Tianyu…"
Hearing that name, Yuan Tianxing was puzzled at first. Three seconds later, he paused, then turned to Du Yuanxing and asked with confusion, "What? What's her name?"
Du Yuanxing coughed slightly and said with laughter, "You're right, her name is Lu Tianyu!"
Yuan Tianxing looked at Du Yuanxing and responded with a weird look, "What a coincidence! We recently met a zombie whose name is Lu Tianyu as well…"
