"Bro, save me."
Shen Jin glanced at the number. The saved name was "Heavenly Net Beggar."
That was right-it was Liu Jiannan!
"What happened, Section Chief Liu? Aren't you at Heavenly Net Headquarters? Did a zombie horde breach your defenses???"
Beyond that, Shen Jin couldn't think of any reason he would call asking to be saved.
"Ahem... no, but you have to help me out this time! I can barely take the pressure anymore. Everyone in Heavenly Net is sidelining me. I can barely get by anymore, boohoo~"
Liu Jiannan's rough, thunderous sobbing came through the phone.
"Holy shit! Speak normally, Section Chief Liu. Don't do this! I'm cringing so hard I've got goosebumps... did you study under the Queen of Cringe?"
"Boohoo~ Bro, just tell me, how have I treated you? Haven't I done everything I could to find the materials you wanted? Never mind steel, iron, copper, tin, and all that-that's routine. All those snacks you usually want-sachima, Maltesers, potato chips, Cornetto, and so on-I've done my best to find them every time, too. And that precious metal, iridium, you wanted recently? I specifically asked Senior Colonel Yang, a Tier 3 Superhuman from the Combat Department, to get you quite a lot. I've treated your business as a major priority, you know. I've put more effort into it than I would for my own brother. I haven't even waited on my own parents like this!"
Shen Jin thought it over. That really was true.
At the very least, the iridium from last time had let him produce Quantum Armor many days ahead of schedule, which had made this battle where he crushed the Divine Assembly's Tier 3 experts possible.
Although he had supplied them with plenty of armor and weapons, too,
he still had to acknowledge this favor.
