Guan Weiyun couldn't be rushed; one had to slowly cultivate feelings.
Xu Qian stepped outside and looked at the empty garden, clapping her hands lightly.
"Come out."
Soon, the familiar man in black darted in front of her.
"Miss Xu, what are your orders?"
"I want a profile of Lu Yang, and his current exact location."
The man in black responded in a low voice, his expression unchanged.
Less than half an hour later, Lu Yang's fresh, hot profile arrived.
"Miss Xu, Lu Yang is on a mission in City B."
"Good."
Xu Qian flipped through the profile. It was very detailed.
Lu Yang wasn't old, 25 years old, his family was dead, he was low-key and honest, and was somewhat nearsighted.
His photo was also attached: short hair, ordinary, unremarkable appearance.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, finding him inexplicably familiar.
He looked like the man who had asked her to move aside in the mission hall earlier.
He's nearsighted?
Xu Qian put the profile away and turned to accept a random mission in City B from the mission hall.
As she drove, she checked the rearview mirror. No cars were following.
What kind of strange ability did that man in black have?
There wasn't even a hint of being tracked?
Two hours later, Xu Qian arrived in City B.
Xu Qian drove directly towards Lu Yang's mission location. His assigned task was strange.
Adding water to a reservoir?
Low-level water ability users definitely wouldn't take this, and advanced ones would be too lazy to.
This was a quantifiable mission; too little meant it was done for nothing, and too much wouldn't yield many points.
Xu Qian saw a huge column of water pouring into the reservoir before she even got close. The entire reservoir was enclosed by a wire mesh, and only those with a mission could swipe their ID card to enter.
She picked up her own ID card and swiped it. The gate automatically opened.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow. Guan Weiyun had given her this card considerable authority.
Walking further in, she saw a man lying on the ground, a withered blade of grass in his mouth.
Even after releasing so much water, he was still leisurely.
It seemed this amount had no effect on him.
Xu Qian walked over and sat down about a meter away from him.
"Hello, your water ability is very powerful. Can we be friends?"
A cold, indifferent female voice sounded in his ear.
Lu Yang jumped up in fright, stammering, "No, no, thank you."
The water column, in that instant, seemed to lose all control and fell down, drenching both of them.
Xu Qian: ...
Lu Yang: ...
Lu Yang scratched his head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do, and could only repeatedly apologize.
A hint of a smile flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. Her light shield was still somewhat effective.
To get to know someone, there had to be some kind of connection between them, at the very least.
"If apologies were useful, what would police be for?"
The young woman was drenched, her clothes clinging to her like a drowned rat.
Lu Yang said cautiously, "Then what do you want? I'll try to compensate you?"
"Or, I can transfer 500 points to you for clothes, okay?"
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, a flicker of surprise crossing them.
Honestly, 500 points were a lot at Hope Base; that could buy over a dozen sets of clothes.
In the apocalypse, clothes and shoes were sold very cheaply.
Essentials like food and weapons were the most expensive.
This Lu Yang was quite generous.
Suddenly, Xu Qian's eyes lit up, and she thought of a way to cultivate friendship.
"I don't lack points. How about this, we form a small team for a month?"
Lu Yang shook his head and waved his hands simultaneously. The reason he never teamed up was his social anxiety.
Years ago, he did have a team, but later he found it too difficult to get along with people and quit.
Now, he felt doing missions alone was good.
Xu Qian raised an eyebrow, of course, she wouldn't let this opportunity slip away.
"Just one month. If you don't agree, I'll find you every day and bother you every day."
