After school, Xia Mi turned down several classmates' invitations to walk home together and ran straight to an internet café. She had worked part-time here before, with outstanding results: just by standing at the entrance handing out flyers, she had signed up over a hundred members for the café.
This was a legitimate internet café that only allowed adult customers to use its computers, so she did not have to worry about running into classmates. Xia Mi was a part-time employee exploited by capital, not a customer.
"Back again?" The receptionist's eyes lit up.
"Chu Nan, pretty please, set me up with a computer? Just for an hour," Xia Mi said in a deliberately sweet voice.
"My name's Chu Ran, not Chu Nan. What if the boss finds out and I lose my job?" the receptionist said.
"You're the boss's nephew. What could he do to you? Unlike me, I don't even have the money to look up college entrance exam materials. Boo-hoo." Xia Mi pretended she was about to cry.
"All right, all right. I've activated a computer in the corner for you. You have to come hand out flyers next month, okay? Still twenty yuan an hour."
"Lunch included!"
"No problem."
Xia Mi sat down in the corner and turned on the computer. After a series of practiced operations, she opened the Hunter Website.
She had been eyeing that five-million-dollar commission for a long time. On the one hand, she wanted to earn the money herself; on the other, she thought something was off about the mission description and wanted to figure out what lay behind the commission.
She clicked into the page and saw the commission status marked "Completed." Claimed by: Indiana Downs.
That bastard again.
Xia Mi had discovered this big job online two months ago.
