Let's Squander A Billion First! - Chapter 154
Chapter 154: Chapter 154: The Last Day Tycoon (19)
Chuzheng stood on the street corner, watching Yang Gang being taken away by the military.
Zhou Jing, shivering, stood behind her, “I… I’ve done what you asked, so my part is over, right?”
Chuzheng withdrew her gaze and handed her a bag of Crystal Cores, “Your reward.”
Zhou Jing didn’t dare to accept it.
The girl’s methods…
But in the end, she accepted it and whispered, “Yang Gang was doing all these things, but it was Minister Feng who was hinting to him from behind. You…”
“He never offended me.” Chuzheng’s tone was calm.
“…” Zhou Jing carefully sized her up, “But by pushing Yang Gang out, you’ve already offended Minister Feng.”
Leaning against the wall, Chuzheng’s icy eyes swept over, “As long as you don’t tell, who would know?”
“…”
Zhou Jing felt a chill from her feet all the way to her forehead.
Her whole body felt as if it had been thrown into an ice cellar, freezing her limbs stiff.
“I… I don’t know anything.”
“Good, keep it up.”
Watching Chuzheng leave, Zhou Jing swallowed, what exactly was she supposed to keep up with?
By the time Zhou Jing returned to the housing management office, the orders from above had already come down, instructing her to take over Yang Gang’s position.
Zhou Jing: “…”
That girl, absolutely, must not be offended!!
In the end, Yang Gang probably never knew who was behind his downfall, right?
–
Chuzheng quickly gained a reputation in the base.
With the speed she spent Crystal Cores, it would have been difficult not to become famous.
What made people even more suspicious was that she had never left the base, and it was a mystery where those Crystal Cores came from.
So various strange rumors began to spread within the base.
Some said Chuzheng had acquired a lot of Crystal Cores when she entered the base.
Others said she was actually a gang leader with many underlings at her command.
The flower-armed man and the Brother Bao trio, who knew the truth: “…” Bullshit, she was all alone!
King’s Account advised Chuzheng to go out to stop people from suspecting her.
Chuzheng, with the excuse “there are zombies outside, it’s scary,” refused to go out at all costs.
Let them suspect.
What can suspicion do to me in this world?
They can’t win against me anyway.
So as long as King’s Account didn’t issue missions, she would never step out of the villa, except for Fang Yu, who she believed she had saved, would come to see her.
Over time, Fang Yu automatically assumed the position of a friend.
Of course, in Chuzheng’s view, this girl could bring her food so she didn’t have to go out, and thus allowed her to come and go freely from the villa.
If only she weren’t so noisy, it would be perfect.
Early one morning, Chuzheng was awakened by the noise, she sat up in bed for a while, and the sound outside was continuous, she got out of bed irritated, pulled back the curtains and looked outside.
People were coming and going in the villa opposite, and many people stood outside the villa.
These people were completely different from the flower-armed man’s group.
They had no tattoos, but they gave off even more of the vibe and presence of Ganster leaders.
To put it another way, if the flower-armed man was a street punk, these people were the real underground bosses.
“Chuzheng, are you up? I brought you breakfast,” Fang Yu’s voice came from downstairs.
To avoid having to go down to open the door, Chuzheng had given Fang Yu a key to the villa.
Chuzheng changed into a new set of clothes and went downstairs.
Fang Yu was setting up the bowls and chopsticks, and upon seeing Chuzheng come down, she immediately smiled, “You’re up? This is porridge cooked by my dad himself, it’s really delicious.”
Chuzheng sat down and took a couple of sips, “It’s good.”
“Right? Have some more,” Fang Yu pushed all the porridge towards her, looking at her expectantly.
Chuzheng: “…”
“`
Are they trying to kill me with this?!
“Chuzheng, did you see those people outside?” Fang Yu suddenly pointed to the people coming and going outside.
“Mmm.” It’s so noisy early in the morning, they have no sense of public decency whatsoever.
“Those people don’t look like good folks. You live opposite them, so you need to be careful.” Fang Yu said, “I heard from my dad that that group is from the Capital City Base, and they will leave once they reestablish contact with the base.”
Chuzheng: “Is communication down now?”
“Yeah, we used to be able to reach the nearby bases, but now we can’t get through at all.” Fang Yu nodded.
Chuzheng nodded back and continued eating her porridge.
Fang Yu was accustomed to Chuzheng’s cold demeanor and kept talking.
–
After Fang Yu left, Chuzheng spent her time idly alone in the villa until late afternoon when the King’s Account suddenly sent her a task.
[Main Quest: Please sponsor resources for the base, time limit ten days.]
Chuzheng: “…”
Are they insane?
Are you insane?
[Miss, I am not.] The King’s Account denied it aggrievedly.
I won’t do it.
[…Miss, if you let the time pass, it will rewind, you have to do it anyways~]
Rewind my ass!
Sponsor resources for the base, so, does that mean I can’t use Crystal Cores?
[That’s right, miss. You need to find resources by yourself; I won’t provide you with Crystal Cores. Once you complete the task, I will convert it into an equivalent amount of Crystal Cores as a reward.]
Chuzheng gave the King’s Account a cold stare.
Chuzheng dressed and went out.
People were also exiting the villa opposite, and the person enshrouded in their midst was none other than Ning You.
At this moment, Ning You was dressed appropriately and protected in the center.
Standing outside the villa, Chuzheng saw Ning You, too. However, Ning You’s identity had now been confirmed, and she was not worried about Chuzheng. So she held her chin high, her eyes gleaming with veiled pride.
Chuzheng did not even give her a glance as she completely ignored her and headed to the base’s task hall.
Ning You: “…”
After posing for so long, the other party completely disregarded her, and nothing was more infuriating than that.
It was as if no matter what she did, she was invisible to them, like a mere clown.
Ning You was secretly furious, unsure if Chuzheng really had amnesia…
She needed to find an opportunity to deal with her; otherwise, Ning You would still feel unsafe.
Ning You followed her people to the task hall.
Unable to contact the Capital City Base, they now had to look for a plane. But now, leaving the base required taking on a task at the task hall; otherwise, they couldn’t leave, so they had to follow the rules.
Ning You took the initiative, “I’ll go with you.”
“Miss, we will return as soon as we find it. It’s safer for you to wait at the base.”
“It’s okay, I have a Special Ability.”
Ning You insisted on going with them.
The people following Ning You hesitated but eventually agreed.
They entered the task hall, ready to casually accept a task.
“Hello, are you heading towards A City Airport?” the person in charge inside the task hall came over to ask.
A man beside Ning You nodded, “Yes, we are.”
“Here’s the thing, our military also has to go there. Could we go together?” the person in charge said, “It’s safer to move in larger numbers.”
The man wanted to refuse, but Ning You interrupted, “We’re not familiar with the situation in A City, do you have people that know the area?”
“We do, otherwise we’d never dare to go there blindly.”
Ning You answered for the people beside her, agreeing that they could go together.
The man beside her frowned, seemingly feeling that it was inappropriate.
But now that Ning You was their miss, they had to obey, and naturally, they couldn’t oppose her in front of others.
The person in charge quickly smiled and ushered them inside to discuss the details further.
