Tomb Raider: What the hell is this strange commission?

Chi Yu had just finished the work at hand when he received the call from Black Glasses.

Facing the 1990s, a time when gold was everywhere, Chi Yu always felt that if he didn't do something, even if this was not his original world, it would be a waste of his trip.

So after Chi Yu celebrated his first New Year in this world, he took out all the money he had earned from completing commissions and reselling black glasses and started a small company.

With his previous experience, it took him about a year to become successful in the industry.

As a new company that has just started, Chi Yu has a lot of work to deal with every day.

As a result, he even had less time to clear out the commissions in the communication box, and the accumulation speed of crystal fragment tokens slowed down. He was still one-third away from achieving the original goal.

However, Chi Yu's passive resistance did not reduce the number of people who wanted to hire him. Instead, it gave people a feeling of hunger marketing, making people more curious about Chi Yu's abilities.

The result was that even though the expired commissions in Chi Yu's communication box would be automatically deleted, the number of pending commissions increased dramatically.

This made Chi Yu very suspicious. He wondered where in this world there were so many ancient tombs for him to explore.

"Boss Chi has really become a very busy man. Even I can't contact you sometimes."

As soon as Chi Yu answered the phone, the person on the other end began to complain.

Chi Yu had long been accustomed to Black Glasses' occasional tantrums, so he calmly passed it by: "What's the matter?"

The performance was ruthlessly interrupted and the man with black glasses sighed helplessly: "Didn't you find it boring to fight all the time and mentioned that you were more interested in primitive jungles?"

Chi Yu recalled that he seemed to have said something similar when he declined Black Glasses' invitation to play a game, so he nodded and said, "Yeah."

Seeing Chi Yu admit it, the man with black glasses returned to his usual tone and started chatting with him. It was not until Chi Yu couldn't listen any more that he interrupted and said, "Let's talk business."

"I'm actually talking about serious business, Boss Chi, you should be more patient with me." The man with black glasses replied lazily.

You are talking nonsense. There is no one in the world as patient as Chi Yu who is willing to listen to your nonsense.

If he hadn't been afraid that Black Glasses really had something to ask him and couldn't contact him, he would have blocked this person's cell phone number long ago.

Chi Yu complained in his heart, but he didn't want to tolerate the pretentious look of Black Glasses, and replied to him: "I'm hanging up."

Then decisively press the hang up button.

The next second, the call request interface popped up again, still with the black glasses.

Chi Yu stared at the phone and waited for ten seconds. Seeing that the other party still didn't hang up, he picked up the phone again: "Go ahead."

After being fooled by Chi Yu once, Black Glasses couldn't keep the secret any longer.

"It's like this, brother, I just happened to have a way. A friend of mine is planning to organize a rainforest ruins survey. I did some research on it for you before, and it seems to be quite interesting. Do you want to go and take a look?"

Hearing this, Chi Yu began to think silently.

Now he can finish the work at hand, as there is nothing particularly urgent to deal with.

It just so happened that he hadn't cleaned up the commissions for a while...

Thinking of this, Chi Yu opened the communication box interface.

【Communication box: a mailbox used to deliver power of attorney. 】

[Current pending commissions: 326]

Chi Yu's eyes slid across the astonishing number of commissions, "What's your friend's name?"

The man with black glasses laughed twice: "Cheng Bingqiang."

"Cheng Bingqiang..." Chi Yu searched for a while and indeed found the commission task belonging to this name, so he called up the commission and checked it.

[Random Commission: Exploration]

[Task description: "It is said that there are countless treasures hidden in the Peacock Kingdom. Today I will lead my brothers to dig out all these treasures!" Of course, to the outside world, he firmly claimed that this was just a relic survey activity. ]

"Relics survey, gathering in Xishuangbanna, and setting off across the border rain forest?"

"Yes, it seems that you have also seen his commission."

"I'm watching." Chi Yu said, "Cheng Bingqiang himself doesn't seem to have a high level of education. As the initiator of this investigation, do you think his motives can be trusted?"

"For me, as long as the money is in place, everything will be fine. This guy is definitely up to no good anyway, and the so-called 'inspection' is just a fig leaf. We can just do whatever we want when the time comes."

Chi Yu raised an eyebrow and said, "Your tone doesn't sound like that of a friend."

The man with black glasses replied calmly, "How could that be? Boss Chi, don't think too much about it."

"Really friends?"

"Really, more real than real gold."

"When did we meet?"

"it's been a while."

"When are you going to leave?"

"We'll leave in two days."

"How much did he give you if I asked him to come over?"

"Thirty thousand."

"..."

"..."

For a moment, no one spoke on either end of the phone.

Chi Yu sneered in his heart. He knew that the man with black glasses would never miss any opportunity to make extra money.

The man with black glasses also coughed dryly a few times, "How about we do it again? I won't say anything this time."

"Don't give me that. I want to see these thirty thousand dollars appear in my account before the end of today. Otherwise, go check it out with your 'friend' yourself."

"Come on, Boss Chi, you're taking all my money in one swoop. Isn't that a bit bad? You should at least let me have some soup, right?"

Black Glasses wanted to struggle again, but he heard Chi Yu say lightly: "Isn't it enough for you to get all the rest of the money besides this? This 30,000 yuan should have been intended for me."

If you didn't ask, of course I wouldn't give you a penny, but who made you happen to be asked?

The man with black glasses shook his head regretfully: "Okay, I can't hide this from you. I'll transfer the money over, Boss Chi, and we'll see you in two days."

Chi Yu was a little surprised when he saw the call being hung up quickly.

He went over the whole incident in his mind again and came to a conclusion: the commission that Black Glasses actually received might be even more than he expected.

The man with black glasses was afraid that Chi Yu would find out and ask for an exorbitant amount of money from him, so he decisively threw the 30,000 yuan out and ran away.

However, this behavior made Chi Yu, who was familiar with Black Glasses' personality, feel that something was wrong.

But it doesn’t matter how much commission Black Glasses got.

After all, during this period of cooperation, Chi Yu had already helped Black Glasses earn more money than this, and the other party had already expressed his attitude, so Chi Yu was too lazy to haggle with Black Glasses over this little profit.

As the text message reminded Chi Yu that 30,000 yuan had just been deposited into his account, Chi Yu's gaze returned to the system interface and chose to accept the Mo Yu commission task hanging on it.

Looking at the letter of entrustment that had become a physical object, Chi Yu reconfirmed the contents on it before writing: "I have learned about your needs. I will set off in two days and arrive at the designated location by then."
