Chapter 119: What Do You Mean By Reward

Looking at the dozens of MTF members heavily armed behind Lei Shui, Zhang Jue laughed.

"Lei Shui, do your brother know that you're welcoming home your dad here to meet you?"

Provoking the enemy with words was the tactic that cost the least and gained the most, and it was also Zhang Jue's usual trick, from which it was a success more than once.

Yet Leshui was not one to be so easily angered, and he smiled, "Advisor Zhang, these are only necessary precautions. After all, the situation inside that cave is very complicated, and no one knows if anything will happen after going in."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Zhang Jue nodded, then pointed into the distance, "So, are they part of this too?"

Since obtaining the Dragon Crystal, Zhang Jue's perception had been greatly enhanced, although he couldn't access the exact location of the enemy. He knew that more than one sniper aimed a gun at his head from a few buildings away.

Lei Shui gave a slight pause, probably not expecting Zhang Jue to be able to aware of them.

He sighed in heartfelt admiration, "Advisor Zhang is really something."

Zhang Jue gave a heave, "You don't need to judge whether it's impressive or not. Say what you want from me."

Talking to a smart person, there is no need to beat around the bush.

Lei Shui said, "Advisor Zhang, I just want to know if you encountered anything special this time."

"No." Zhang Jue didn't even think about it, "Nothing. What do you think I should encounter?"

Lei Shui was hedging Zhang Jue's words, and Zhang Jue was no different. But Leshui had a heavy responsibility. He couldn't be as rogue as Zhang Jue.

He said, "Advisor Zhang, the Foundation has left a very important item inside the cave. If you find something, the Foundation will definitely not treat you badly."

Zhang Jue smiled heatedly, "Can I ask what that very important thing is? Maybe I found it, but I don't know."

"I have no comment on that." Lei Shui answered, "Advisor Zhang can also share his findings with me. As you said, maybe found something or a clue."

The two talked back and forth, neither one refusing to get to the point. Zhang Jue knew that it was impossible to expect someone like Lei Shui to have a flaw in his words. So, he wasn't going to waste time here either.

"Since you're not sincere, then we don't need to waste time here. Let's go our separate ways. I'm not going to lie. I recently bought a new game and haven't gotten through it yet." Zhang Jue said and then continued to walk out the gate.

Lei Shui picked up the phone, said a few words, and then handed the phone to Zhang Jue. Zhang Jue probably guessed who the other party was and picked up the phone.

"Good day, Zhang Jue-kun. This is O5-10 speaking." Hearing the accent, the other party seemed to be Japanese. It turned out that Lei Shan and Lei Shui were not serving the same O5. No wonder their style of action was so different.

Listening to the other party's greeting, Zhang Jue said, "I'm now having at least a few dozen guns pointed at my head if that can be called 'good'."

"Ah, I'm sorry. I'll have them to pull back down." O5-10 finished and said something Zhang Jue couldn't understand to the man beside him.

The MTF squad apparently also had an external reception device, and a few seconds later, they lowered the guns in their hands. The red dot on Zhang Jue's body also disappeared. Lei Shui took a few steps back to give them room to talk.

O5-10's voice came again, "Zhang Jue-kun, would this be better?"

Zhang Jue looked around, then nodded, "Uh-huh."

At least for now, the other side's attitude was impeccable. Zhang Jue wasn't a mad dog that bit anyone. In the end, everyone wanted to maximize their own interests.

O5-10 smiled, "Zhang Jue-kun, I know that what Le Shui-kun did upset you. I apologize on his behalf. In the end, he is working for the Foundation and for me. I hope you can understand."

"Ah, understandable." Zhang Jue said perfunctorily, "Then, O5-sama, you can say whatever you want, but I'm still waiting to go home and play Super Mario."

"Zhang Jue-kun is really as 'humorous' as the legend says, then I'll be polite." O5-10 pondered for a moment and said, "What's inside that hole is very important to the Foundation, Zhang Jue-kun. If you do find something, the Foundation will reward you accordingly based on your contribution."

"A corresponding reward?" Zhang Jue seemed to remember something and suddenly smiled, "Could you please explain to me what you mean by a corresponding reward, five hundred dollars plus a medal?"

Seemingly expecting Zhang Jue to ask this question, O5-10 said, "The corresponding reward is, within my authority, to grant you a request."

"That seems reasonable."

Zhang Jue said, taking out a camera from the other dimension. He raised his right hand high, "You can see what I'm holding, right? This is what I found inside the cave. It's from the future. It has some interesting things recorded in it. I believe the Foundation will be interested in it."

Zhang Jue did not tell the truth about having the remnants of the notebook because he did not trust anyone now.

"Yes." O5-10 agreed very readily, "Then what are your requirements, Zhang Jue-kun?"

Zhang Jue pondered for a moment and said softly, "I want to meet SCP-682."
