GOR Chapter 382 Part 1 Fall

Qiao Qiao noticed Nicole who was seated not far away from her.

Rather, it was impossible for her not to notice Nicole. This was more or less the off-season for Zero City so there would usually be very little people in this bar. As for today, there was a huge event in Zero City, the Board of Patriarchs’ meeting. Most of the core members of the resident guilds of Zero City would have gone to attend the meeting as side observers. Thus, there was barely anyone left on the streets.

In this huge bar, Nicole was the only one there drinking in the bar, other than Qiao Qiao and Soo Soo of course.

Nicole and Qiao Qiao’s eyes made contact. Nicole then raised her glass of wine, gestured to Qiao Qiao, and smiled in a friendly manner.

There was an indifferent look on Qiao Qiao’s face but she did raise her glass of wine in response.

Naturally, she was unable to see through Nicole’s disguise. After gulping down the contents of her glass, Nicole poured herself another glass before moving over.

“May I sit here?”

Qiao Qiao turned to look at this incoming woman. She felt that this young woman had a welcoming smile and thus, nodded her head. “Do as you please.”

“Are you two new here?” Nicole smiled as she sat down.

Qiao Qiao was silent.

“New members of Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild?” Nicole pointed at the men standing outside the bar.

Qiao Qiao did not answer her. Instead, she asked, “What about you?”

“I’m here for business.”

“A broker?”

“Something like that,” answered Nicole. After pondering for a moment, she continued, “There is a Board of Patriarchs’ meeting today. Why aren’t you going?”

“Aren’t you doing the same thing?”

Nicole smiled as she looked at Qiao Qiao. “Don’t you know the rules? Only the formal members of resident guilds have the qualifications to attend the Board of Patriarchs’ meeting. Brokers and outsiders like me have no right to go there.”

Qiao Qiao straightened her body and stared at Nicole. She asked, “Are you really an outsider? A broker? Not a member of any guild?”

“No.” Nicole shook her head. “If I was, how would I miss such a huge affair? I would be sitting at the auditorium side of the Board of Patriarchs’ meeting room. This type of thing is not something that happens every day.”

“That’s right…” Qiao Qiao’s eyes darted around and she whispered, “How long will you be staying in Zero City?”

“Not long.”

“Are you interested in making a transaction?” Qiao Qiao looked into Nicole’s eyes.

Nicole’s heart jumped with joy.

“Speak your mind. If it’s appropriate, I won’t refuse a business transaction.”

Qiao Qiao was about to say something when Soo Soo who was beside her tugged her sleeve. She silently shook her head and said, “Unni…”

Qiao Qiao was surprised.

Soo Soo whispered, “We do not know her.”

Hearing that, a look of hesitation appeared on Qiao Qiao’s face. Soon however, it was replaced by a look of frustration. She said, “I know where to draw the line.”

She turned her gaze back to Nicole and said, “This transaction is very simple. After you leave Zero City, I need you to help me pass a message to someone outside. He is a friend of mine. It’s that simple.”

“As you know, Zero City has rules. Some sensitive information regarding Zero City is not allowed to spread outside. If that is the task, I cannot accept it.” Nicole deliberately said that. “Once found out, I will be punished. I will be blacklisted and barred from entering Zero City forever.”

“This message has nothing to do with Zero City’s matters. It’s a private message,” said Qiao Qiao as she shook her head. She purposely put on a casual look and continued, “I am temporarily unable to leave so I can only entrust someone to send a message to my friend outside.”

“And the contents of the message?”

“Tell him, I am in Zero City. Also, I will not give up, absolutely never.” Qiao Qiao clenched her teeth and continued in a whisper. “Tell him, do what he wants to do, do what he feels is the right thing to do. And I will never give up.”

“… just that?” Nicole was slightly taken aback.

“That’s all.” Qiao Qiao nodded her head. “My name is Qiao Qiao.”

“And the recipient of this message?”

Qiao Qiao thought about it and pulled out a piece of paper. She jotted down a phone number on the paper and said, “Call this number. His name is Chen Xiaolian.”

As expected.

Nicole held back her desire to smile. She nodded her head with a calm expression. Then, she glanced at the phone number before setting the piece of paper on fire. “I’ve remembered the number. I will help you do this… then, what about my reward?”

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment. “What kind of reward do you want?”

“This request is not that difficult, so I will make it cheaper for you.” Nicole deliberately put on an act of thinking. “200 points.”

Qiao Qiao’s face turned dark.

200 points… generally speaking, it was possible to acquire only a few hundred points by completing one instance dungeon…

“Is making a single phone call that expensive?”

“This is Zero City.” Nicole shook her head and continued, “This place cannot connect to the outside world. Since you’re requesting this from me, we should speak openly. You are surely unable to leave this place or contact him on your own, am I right?”

Qiao Qiao remained silent.

Soo Soo who was beside her suddenly spoke up. This girl blinked her eyes and looked at Nicole. “We… how can we know of you’ve sent the message to him? How can we be certain that you’ve completed this request?”

“That’s right!” Qiao Qiao was suddenly reminded of this. “What if you take the reward without completing the request? How do we determine that?”
