Chapter 2: Decent Benefits, Girls and System
After Li Zhiyao changed her clothes, Yan Shuo paid the bill, and the two left the tailor shop side by side.
I can't stay in this rented place any longer—several colleagues know the address.
The two quickly packed their belongings, disguised themselves as a middle-aged couple, and Li Zhiyao wrapped her belly with a strip of cloth to pretend to be pregnant. They flagged down two rickshaws and headed out of the city with their luggage.
Halfway there, Yan Shuo told the driver to stop at the alley entrance and send him away. The two of them then walked through the narrow alley and changed into another outfit: shedding their middle-aged clothes and becoming two students, carrying small suitcases, and throwing the old suitcase along with the clothes inside into the trash heap.
After going through this ordeal three times and changing rickshaws three times, they finally arrived at the escape house that Li Zhiyao had rented in secret.
"I rented this place through a dental clinic; nobody knows about it." Li Zhiyao pushed open the door. The room was clean and tidy, with gas, a shower, and a telephone—everything was there. There were also medicines and money piled up in the corner. "I pay rent every six months, just in case."
Yan Shuo looked around the room: "Where did you get so much money?"
“Unlike you men, who go to nightclubs and casinos as soon as you get paid.” Li Zhiyao took off her coat, preparing to take a shower. “I earn about 100 yuan a month. 20 yuan is enough for me. Rent is 18 yuan, and phone bills are 11 yuan. It’s not hard to save for half a year. I also saved all the stipends I received when I was in school.”
"I didn't go to those places." Yan Shuo poured himself a glass of warm water. "The money was all spent on maintaining informants." He made a "three" gesture. "Three informants. I need to give them living expenses, and I need to pay for their activities when they gather information. I've made several trips just to apply for funding."
Li Zhiyao paused for a moment, then didn't ask any more questions—she herself had two informants and knew the expenses involved.
He turned and went into the bathroom, the sound of water soon filling the air. Yan Shuo changed into his pajamas, sat at the tea table, lit a cigarette, and mentally called out to the system, "System, are you there?"
"Beep! Super Agent System at your service."
"You have a name? What are your functions? Why were you chosen to come here and risk your life?" Yan Shuo asked in rapid succession.
"My name is Xiao Zhi." The system's voice was emotionless. "You can enhance your physical abilities, skills, disguise, assassination, and telecommunications, and sell spy gadgets and supplies. You were chosen because after the system's web crawler code was filtered, your data was the top priority—you are good at adapting, have outstanding resource management capabilities, strong motivation, and can quickly collect emotion points for the system."
"What advantages do I have?" Yan Shuo retorted.
"Your ability to flexibly handle tasks in the factory and your tireless pursuit of side hustles are core traits." The system skipped over his explanations. "You have been given 68 emotional points in modern assets, a 100-cubic-meter space ring (blood-binding, time-fixed, no living creatures allowed), and access to the basic area of the shop. There is also a newbie gift pack to be activated."
"Xiao Zhi, open the store and take a look." Yan Shuo's eyes lit up.
A virtual panel instantly appeared in my mind, clearly listing all kinds of supplies:
