Demanding More Updates by Kidnapping the Title-Giver 0014, Author Refuses to Compromise, Has Already Torn Up the Ticket, Deeply Mournful!

Holding an address and a business card obtained from Mr. Fox, Lin Qi found the "friend's shop" Mr. Fox mentioned, a small shop called "Space Light Bath".

Contrary to Lin Qi's expectations, there didn't seem to be many people here, especially at the entrance, where there was no queue, which was a bit different from what one would expect from a trendy place.

As soon as he pushed the door open, a young girl at the front desk, who seemed bored, greeted him, "Sir, is there anything I can help you with?"

The girl looked to be around twenty years old, with some freckles near her nose, radiating youthful energy, giving a very comfortable feeling.

Lin Qi's gaze shifted from the girl to a corridor behind her. There were doors every few meters on both sides of the corridor, all leading to light bath rooms.

Since a certain organization claimed that Light Baths could effectively kill Pubic Lice and some mild visible skin diseases, many people had begun to enjoy the effects of Light Baths in the nude.

Whether it was effective or not was debatable, but it clearly satisfied some people's urge to be naked in semi-public places, releasing pressure, and making what could have been a group activity rather embarrassing.

Eventually, most Light Bath shops transitioned from semi-open spaces to semi-private rooms to protect the privacy of some and the eyes of others.

The girl was about to say something when she heard a door open in the corridor behind her. Immediately after, a naked girl wearing sunglasses stood in the aisle, stretching her body and looking at the two people outside the corridor, not at all shy about exposing herself to the air.

The sunglasses she wore were similar to aviator glasses, covering most of her face, leaving only her nose and mouth exposed. Combined with a diving cap that covered all her hair, even people who knew her well would find it difficult to recognize her true identity through the thick disguise.

This was why these people dared to undress in public; they weren't worried about being recognized by anyone.

The front desk girl screamed, apologizing as she escorted the unruly lady back into the room, warning her that if she ran around again, her subsequent appointments would be canceled. Only then did the lady calm down a bit.

"I'm very sorry for the trouble...", the girl said, returning to the counter to apologize to Lin Qi after dealing with the situation.

"It's okay, that lady has a great figure, I think I got a good deal." These words made the girl's face flush slightly, and she felt that Lin Qi was... she didn't know what to say.

If she called him a bad person, he was honest; if she called him a good person, he didn't hide the dirty thoughts in his heart.

The girl, unsure how to express her feelings, stood there speechless, while Lin Qi said with a smile, "Help me contact your Boss, tell him Mr. Fox sent me, I want to meet with him."

The girl breathed a sigh of relief. She said "one moment" and picked up the phone. After about thirty, forty, fifty, sixty, seventy, eighty seconds, she put down the phone and pointed to a side door not far away, "The Boss is waiting for you in the back, you can go ahead."

Lin Qi thanked the girl and entered the back office through the side door. A balding Boss in his thirties greeted him and said hello.

This Boss was called Toby In. When he opened this Light Bath shop, he didn't have enough money, so he borrowed some from Mr. Fox. As the Light Bath shop became more and more popular, he quickly repaid the loan.

He was an ordinary, clumsy, and interesting small businessman who always felt he owed Mr. Fox a favor and wanted to repay it. So when Lin Qi mentioned the Light Bath shop, Mr. Fox immediately thought of Mr. Toby In.

"Mr. Fox is very important to me. He gave me a lot of help when my business was starting out. You are his friend, so naturally you are my friend too..." He shook hands with Lin Qi and didn't let go, but enthusiastically pulled him to sit on the sofa. "What can I do for you?"

His expression was focused, not fake. This society can cultivate bad people, but it can cultivate more good people.

"Mr. Toby In, I need a set of Ultraviolet Light Bath lamp equipment. I don't know if you have any to spare here?"

These words made Mr. Toby In pause. After a brief change in his expression, he asked somewhat uncertainly, "Sorry, maybe I shouldn't ask, but can you let me know what you want the Ultraviolet Light Bath lamp for?" He added with an apologetic tone, "You don't have to answer, I'm just curious."

Lin Qi shrugged. Even the best people have special moments, such as when their core interests are involved. He didn't want to make an enemy for no reason. Although he wasn't afraid of such an enemy, it would be a hassle, wouldn't it? So he explained, "I heard that there are many terrible bacteria in the water we are using. Irradiating it with ultraviolet light for a period of time can effectively kill these bacteria..."

Mr. Toby In was stunned for a moment, then laughed. He nodded, accepting this explanation. Some developed cities' water plants did start using ultraviolet lights to disinfect water, but how effective it was was hard to know.

Lin Qi gave a passable explanation. As long as the other party didn't plan to open a Light Bath shop to increase competition, Mr. Toby In didn't care what he wanted the Light Bath lamp for.

"No problem, give me an address and I'll arrange for someone to send it over..." Mr. Toby In was very generous. He didn't even mention whether Lin Qi needed to pay for the transaction.

In the end, Lin Qi took the initiative to ask, and after several refusals, Lin Qi paid three hundred and fifty yuan, as payment for buying a single lamp stand.

A little later, Lin Qi returned to his rented warehouse with the workers sent by Mr. Toby In. At Lin Qi's request, the workers set up the Ultraviolet Light Bath lamp before leaving.

After the workers left, Lin Qi found a small restaurant nearby to eat something, then returned to the warehouse. He closed the door and took a leak under the Light Bath lamp...

The next morning, around nine o'clock, an excited Richard arrived at the office with a somewhat old backpack. His face was slightly flushed, and the backpack made a metallic clanging sound as it was taken off his back.

He wiped some sweat from his temples, "This is what I collected yesterday..." He reported a number, looking at Lin Qi with anticipation.

Honestly, this job might not be entirely in line with the rules. After all, there wasn't even an employment contract between him and Lin Qi, and the job might even be a bit illegal.

But he didn't care. As long as he could make money, who cared about legality? What good was being law-abiding if he had no money? "Just tell me how much you should take..." Lin Qi opened the drawer, took out a stack of twenty-dollar bills, and held them in his hand. Richard's breathing immediately quickened.

"You owe me one thousand two hundred dollars, Boss!"

With every ten bills stacked together, Richard's eyes were fixed on Lin Qi's hand, counting softly, counting the bills that were about to become his! After Richard left contentedly with the money, promising to return soon, Lin Qi pushed a cart full of coins into the office room.

He placed the cart under the ultraviolet light, turned on the switch, and the coins lay quietly in the light
