Promise

The next day, under Monte's arrangement, Su Ming moved into a different dormitory.

"Your dormitory was attacked by an unknown assailant yesterday, yet you came out of it unharmed. You're really lucky!"

Monte grinned as he spoke to Su Ming.

He then brought Su Ming to another dormitory and had him stay there temporarily.

Su Ming naturally had no objections. He glanced around the dormitory.

Hmm, it's not much worse than the previous one. Monte isn't bad at handling things.

"What happened yesterday? Did anyone investigate? I just happened to be out for a walk, and when I came back, I found the dormitory like that!"

Su Ming secretly felt relieved that the dormitory area had no surveillance cameras, since employee privacy had to be protected.

If it had happened in the workshop area, where cameras were everywhere, everyone would probably have discovered that he was a Gene Warrior.

Although this matter wouldn't have much of an impact, it was still better for him to keep a low profile on a logistics planet. After all, Su Ming had heard of cases where a logistics planet discovered a Gene Warrior, only for that person to be dragged onto the battlefield and killed in action.

Although Su Ming considered himself much stronger than ordinary people, once he went to the battlefield, his slight personal ability would be less useful than good luck.

He didn't want to go to the battlefield yet!

Monte scratched his head, then shook it with a bitter smile. "Who can say for sure about something like this? Logistics planets aren't as dangerous as the front lines, but they're still rather chaotic. It's not impossible for accidents to happen."

Su Ming nodded to show that he understood.

Monte glanced at Su Ming, then lowered his voice and said, "Little Master Su Ming, how have you considered the matter I mentioned before?"

Su Ming froze.

Monte immediately continued, "To be honest, after the mechanical components you repaired were sent to the battlefield, some soldiers still noticed them. Now everyone knows that there's a highly skilled mechanic in the workshop I manage."

"Recently, quite a few people have been asking me whether I take private jobs..."

After hearing Monte's words, Su Ming pondered for a moment, then nodded. "It's not impossible, but you have to agree to three conditions."

Monte's face lit up. "Tell me, tell me!"

Su Ming smiled. "First, I want a private dormitory with an independent workbench. After all, I can't take private jobs for you in a public area. It wouldn't be good for you if someone discovered me!"

Su Ming had wanted a dormitory with an independent workbench for a long time. Otherwise, he would have to keep working alongside ordinary mechanics in the production workshop. That was fine during work, but whenever he wanted to do something of his own, such as assembling a Mechanical Arm, he felt inconvenienced.

Hearing Su Ming's words, Monte immediately grinned. "No problem. With my authority, arranging a dormitory like that will be easy!"

Su Ming nodded, then continued, "Second, hide my identity as much as possible. I don't want too many people to know about my skills!"

Monte nodded. "That's no problem either!"

"Third, I want half of the profits from the private jobs!"

Monte fell silent for a while, then gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! I can give you half!"

After hearing Monte's assurance, Su Ming smiled in satisfaction. He then said to Monte, "All right, it's settled, then. Just let me know directly whenever you get a private job!"

Monte's face was full of delight, and he hurriedly nodded. "Little Master Su Ming, you're a straightforward person. If you want to do anything on Planet Nop in the future, you can tell me. I still have some influence here!"

"If nothing goes wrong, I should be able to get the private dormitory approved tonight. For now, stay in this dormitory temporarily!"

Monte laughed heartily.

Su Ming nodded and said nothing more.

During the day, Su Ming worked as usual, constantly repairing and reassembling machinery at his workbench.

By evening, Monte had successfully applied for the private dormitory he had promised Su Ming.

Su Ming now had his own private workshop.

Apart from needing to go to the workshop during work hours, he could usually produce his own mechanical weapons in his private workshop!

That night, Su Ming took out the Space Watch he had obtained from the assassin and placed it on the workbench, carefully repairing it.

Before long, Su Ming separated the Space Core inside it from the Space Watch.

He then took out an inconspicuous little pendant, hollowed out its center, and placed the Space Core into an activation circuit he had made long ago.

Very soon, the Space Watch had been transformed into a pendant around Su Ming's neck.

Looking at the pendant, Su Ming nodded in satisfaction. He connected it to his Brain Domain Level, then opened the pendant instantly under the control of his thoughts.

There were many things inside the pendant: several bank cards from various banks, a brand-new Identity Card, a Single-line Contact Phone, and all kinds of miscellaneous mechanical weapons.

"Hmm?"

Su Ming suddenly found an independent Star Coin card among the bank cards, and a hint of delight appeared on his face.

He couldn't use the other bank cards. Only the assassin himself could withdraw the money stored in them.

However, the independent Star Coin card was anonymous. Anyone could withdraw the Star Coins stored in it.

Su Ming's expression shifted. He then took the Single-line Contact Phone out of the Space Core.

After turning on the phone, Su Ming saw a message on it.

"How did it go?"

The message was anonymous, but this was a single-line phone, which meant it could only communicate with the person who had sent the message.

After seeing the message, a strange look flashed across Su Ming's face. He took out the phone and replied directly: "The target is dead. Don't contact me again."

Su Ming had been Chinese in his previous life and was thoroughly familiar with all kinds of undercover, police, and gangster films. Now that he saw a Single-line Contact Phone and a new Identity Card, then connected them with the message and the assassin's identity, how could he not guess that this phone was most likely the one the assassin used to communicate exclusively with the employer?

After sending the message, Su Ming destroyed the phone on the spot. He then carefully checked the phone's components again to see whether there were any trackers or similar devices. Only after that did he put the remains of the destroyed phone into the scrap bin.

After finishing everything, Su Ming secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Regardless, Suri most likely believed that he was dead by now. Even if he had some suspicions, it would probably take a long time to investigate and discover that Su Ming was still alive.

By then, Su Ming would probably have gained a certain degree of self-protection.
