I'm Just an Ordinary Relationship Consultant
The voice was like a gentle breeze, softly brushing past people's ears.
Yet, it contained an endless longing, as if the owner of this voice had an indescribable affection for this city.
This city holds an unparalleled place in "his" heart.
"Now, please remain silent and witness the final brilliance of this city."
"Let this serve as a warning; if the evil in human nature is not curbed, it will only lead to self-destruction."
The people of Haibei City, who were forced to absorb certain information, were completely baffled. What were they being asked to do?
A clear image began to emerge from the enormous black curtain in the sky.
Ze Hai City is an incredibly prosperous and beautiful port city.
Because of its largest overseas port trade, this city has developed very well.
Both in terms of prosperity and being a port city, it is very similar to Haibei City.
But the difference is...
Haibei City still suffers from various chronic problems left over from the wars of the last century. Under the rule of the Xia Kingdom, there are still some powerful and unruly corrupt elements.
However, they can only operate in the darkness and cannot surface to affect the lives of ordinary people during the day.
However, Ze Hai City, which is known as the City of Crime, is different. It is prosperous and beautiful, but due to the inaction of the higher-ups, the public security is not very good.
Insects, snakes, rats, and ants that should have been in the darkness were openly active on the water's surface.
People walking on the streets mostly seemed to be in a hurry, their faces showing sorrow and fear, constantly glancing around warily as if they were hiding from something.
In this bustling crowd.
A boy wearing a hood stood out.
Compared to the anxious and fearful people around him, he appeared quite relaxed and calm.
He leaned slightly against a road sign, seemingly lost in thought.
Across the street, a middle-aged woman with an anxious expression walked quickly towards them, carrying a backpack. She stopped at a road sign and looked around.
Then he took out his phone and dialed the number pinned to the top of his chat list. "Hello? Is this Mr. Consultant? I've arrived here."
The boy tilted his ear slightly, and through the earpiece came the woman's urgent voice. "Sir, will this really work?"
"I mean, what if I...?"
The young man interrupted her, "Well, madam, I'm just an ordinary relationship consultant. I've already answered all the questions you asked me."
Is there anything else you're not satisfied with?
The man stammered for a long time, but in the end, he gave up asking any more questions.
The call ended.
The middle-aged woman left the street.
The boy waited a while before crossing the pedestrian crossing to the other side of the street. He stopped in a spot without surveillance cameras and picked up a thick envelope.
He didn't open it; instead, he put the envelope in his pocket and left humming a song.
He walked through bustling streets, boarded a bus, passed through countless stops, and finally got off at the terminal station.
Even in prosperous cities, there are less prosperous places, such as urban villages. These villages are teeming with all sorts of people and forces, making them the most chaotic and dangerous places.
The boy walked into the urban village with familiarity, turning left and right through several alleys, and finally returned to the room he had rented there.
As soon as the boy closed the door, he pulled down the hood that was covering most of his face, revealing his youthful face.
The boy has a handsome appearance, and even though he hasn't fully grown up yet, it's easy to see how handsome he will be when he grows up.
If an employee of the Anomaly Containment Association were to see this, they would be surprised to find that this person is a younger Bai Zuo, who looks only twelve or thirteen years old.
Of course, this excludes those who watched the live stream inside Yi Gui Company, and the high-ranking officials from various countries who saw the video through espionage.
No one in Haibei City recognized the boy's identity.
They were a little confused as to why this strange canopy was showing them these images.
We can't just trap the entire city here so they can see what this boy's life is like, can we?
The local garrison in Haibei City reacted quickly and, after receiving orders from their superiors, immediately took control of the entire city. They first evacuated the group of people who had been besieging the edge of the city's darkness, sending them home.
Then go out into the streets to arrest those who are looting, vandalizing, or committing various crimes.
Soon, Haibei City was locked down, and everyone was required to stay at home and was not allowed to go out.
However, even when they are at home, they can still see the images playing on the screen from their balconies, rooftops, and through their windows.
Having entered the special scene, Shen Yu has learned from the system that his every move will be broadcast to everyone in Haibei City through the sky screen.
This means that from the moment he enters a special scene, Shen Yu must play the role according to the personality of the Character Card.
Otherwise, if someone notices anything amiss, the completion score might be reduced, preventing him from completing the special scene.
Shen Yu wasn't worried at all.
After reviewing the updated information on the Character Card, I became completely immersed in portraying the Character Card.
After Bai Zuo lowered his hood, he slumped down completely, and he walked unsteadily toward the sofa.
As soon as I got close to the sofa, my body went limp and I slumped into it, curling up into a ball.
He rolled over, put his legs on the armrests of the sofa, and lay on his back. He reached into the inside pocket of his coat and took out the envelope.
Upon opening the envelope, a thick stack of brand-new banknotes was revealed.
The Bai Zuo took the money out of the envelope. It was all the largest denomination bills he had just withdrawn from the bank, each worth five hundred. There were two hundred of them.
The total is 100,000 Zehai coins.
Even for Ze Hai City, which relies heavily on port trade, this is a considerable sum of money, enough for an average white-collar worker to earn in a year.
The value of currency had been instilled in the minds of the people of Haibei City beforehand.
Seeing this, many people gasped softly.
Because after they calculated, based on the purchase rate of 100,000 Zehai coins, when converted into the Xia Kingdom coins, it would be about half again as much.
What exactly is the profession of this relationship consultant?
Is it really possible to earn such a large sum of money so easily?
Many people are very envious.
It's important to understand that Haibei City isn't just full of wealthy people; there are also many young people from other cities who come to Haibei City to earn their first fortune, as well as many people who do manual labor.
Most of them earn only five or six thousand yuan a month, which is not much to save in a city like Haibei City where prices are high and rent is expensive.
The Bai Zuo casually tossed the money onto the table, his nonchalant attitude provoking a lot of people.
Some people speculated with envy and jealousy. "Could it be that she became a gigolo?"
