Guān Wěiyún's favor wouldn't come instantly; relationships needed to be nurtured slowly.
Xu Qian stepped outside and looked at the empty garden, clapping her hands lightly.
"Come out."
Soon, a familiar man in black darted in front of her.
"Miss Xu, what are your orders?"
"I want Lu Yang's file, and his current precise location."
The man in black's expression remained unchanged as he quietly acknowledged.
In less than half an hour, Lu Yang's fresh, hot file arrived.
"Miss Xu, Lu Yang is on a mission in City B."
"Good."
Xu Qian flipped through the file. It was very detailed.
Lu Yang was young, twenty-five years old, his family was all dead. He was low-key and honest, with some nearsightedness.
His photo was attached: a crew cut, his appearance ordinary and unremarkable.
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, finding him inexplicably familiar.
He looked like the man who had told her to move aside in the mission hall before.
Nearsighted?
Xu Qian put away the file and turned to the mission hall, casually accepting a mission in City B.
She drove while checking her rearview mirror, but no cars followed.
What kind of strange ability did that man in black have?
She didn't sense any feeling of being tracked at all.
Two hours later, Xu Qian arrived in City B.
Xu Qian drove directly towards Lu Yang's mission location. His mission was peculiar.
Adding water to the reservoir?
Low-level water ability users definitely wouldn't take it, and high-level ones would be too lazy.
This was a measured task; too little would be a waste of effort, and too much wouldn't yield many points.
Before Xu Qian even approached the reservoir, she saw a huge water column pouring into it. The entire reservoir was surrounded by an iron fence, and only those with accepted missions could swipe their ID cards to enter.
She picked up her own ID card and swiped it, and 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 dry yellow 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 cool, indifferent female voice sounded in his ear.
Lu Yang was startled and jumped up directly, stammering, "No, no need."
At that moment, the water column seemed to lose all control and fell, drenching both of them.
Xu Qian: ...
Lu Yang: ...
Lu Yang awkwardly scratched his head, unsure what to do, and could only apologize repeatedly.
A hint of a smile flashed in Xu Qian's eyes. Her light shield was still somewhat useful.
To get to know someone, there at least needed to be some connection between them.
"If apologies worked, what would the police be for?"
The girl was drenched, her clothes sticking to her body, like a drowned rat.
Lu Yang cautiously asked, "Then what do you want? I'll try my best to compensate you?"
"Or, I can transfer you 500 points to buy clothes?"
Xu Qian narrowed her eyes, a hint of surprise flashing in her gaze.
Honestly, 500 points was a lot at Hope Base. 500 points could buy over a dozen sets of clothes.
In the apocalypse, things like clothes and shoes were sold very cheaply.
Essential items like food and weapons were the most expensive.
This Lu Yang was quite generous.
Suddenly, Xu Qian's eyes rolled, and she thought of a method to cultivate friendship.
"I don't lack points. How about this, let's form a small team for a month?"
Lu Yang shook his head and waved his hands simultaneously. The reason he never joined teams was because of his social anxiety.
A few years ago, he did have a team, but later he found it too difficult to get along with people and quit.
Now, he felt it was good to do missions alone.
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."
