104 Teenage girls always get the short end of the stick
After school, Xia Mi declined her classmates' invitation to go home together and went straight to an internet cafe. She had previously worked there part-time and had an outstanding record. She had only been handing out flyers at the entrance, yet she had already generated hundreds of membership cards for the internet cafe.
This is a legitimate internet cafe; only adult customers are allowed to use the internet, so there's no need to worry about running into classmates. Xia Mi is a part-time employee exploited by capital, not a customer.
"Here we go again?" The receptionist's eyes lit up.
"Brother Chu Nan, could you turn on the computer for me? Just for an hour," Xia Mi said in a low voice.
"My name is 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 can he do to you? Unlike me, I don't even have the money to find some college entrance exam materials, sob sob sob." Xia Mi pretended to cry.
"Okay, okay, I've given you a corner machine. You have to come handing out flyers next month, it'll still be twenty dollars an hour."
Lunch is included!
"no problem."
Xia Mi sat down in a corner seat, turned on the computer, and after a few steps, skillfully opened the Hunter website.
She had been staring at the five million dollar commission for a long time, partly because she wanted to earn the money herself, and partly because she felt the task description was off and wanted to figure out what was behind the commission.
Upon opening the page, the status of the assignment was displayed as "Completed," and the recipient was Indiana Downs.
It's that bastard again.
Two months ago, Xia Mi discovered this big job online. The mission objective seemed complicated, but it was actually very simple for Xia Mi: just steal a dangerous item from a heavily guarded research facility. Besides, the employer said the mission location was in the suburbs of Chicago, and the round-trip travel expenses would be reimbursed!
With her travel expenses reimbursed, what could possibly be difficult for her? No matter how strong the research institute's defenses are, could they withstand a punch from the Queen of Earth and Mountains?
It can't be stopped!
So when she confidently applied for the mission, Indiana Downs beat her to it and took it.
In fact, Xia Mi herself knew that she could only ask the school for leave once or twice to "take care of her brother." If she asked for leave too often, the teacher might come to visit her with milk.
So she could only watch many of the commissions on the hunter website, and very few were actually suitable for her. But even the few rare opportunities she had were snatched away by this bastard!
It is said that this hunter takes on all kinds of jobs, even finding lost cats and runaway children.
To be fair, this guy is really good at handling unusual events. Xia Mi really wanted to take on some of the dragon-related commissions she saw, but he always managed to snatch them up. It's like fate has other plans; this time he earned her a five million yuan order, which is even more painful than Xia Mi losing five million yuan herself!
"Always stealing my business, Indiana Downs, you just wait!" Xia Mi glared fiercely at the hunter avatar that resembled an Indiana Jones fan, and said, "You better not run into me. If I catch you, I'll beat you to a pulp!"
After the Void threat subsided, Xia Mi browsed the news as usual.
The Hunter website has a lot of news posts with all sorts of random and unreliable content, but occasionally there are some valuable pieces of information related to dragons or hybrids.
For example, Xia Mi just saw a news report that a private school in Chicago suddenly exploded, suspected to be due to a gas leak, which triggered a wildfire. The explosion caused a riot, with students mistaking it for a school shooting, leading to a large-scale disturbance where students pulled out guns and fired at each other, resulting in heavy casualties!
"Kassel College..."
Xia Mi ignored the "FAKE NEWS" text at the end and zoomed in on the photos attached to the post, frame by frame. They seemed to be casually taken by construction workers. The resolution was poor, but barely usable.
The school square in the picture was a mess, with signs of renovation everywhere. She scanned it and saw that all the metal objects that originally existed in the square, except for the steel bars and scaffolding that were obviously added later as construction materials, had been violently removed.
Xia Mi was secretly shocked. What was going on? Why would Kassel College destroy her school with an explosion? Gunshots could be heard throughout the school and even start a wildfire!
Xia Mi recalled a highly successful operation recently conducted by Kassel College, in which two members of the Executive Department even fell in love, creating a beautiful love story. It was said that the operation went very smoothly, and the school hadn't kept it a secret; the legendary S-rank descending from the sky was quite famous in the mixed-race community.
Shortly after the operation ended, the school was bombed.
A group of students about to start their preparatory course created a chat group. Many girls in the group fantasized about falling in love with an S-class domineering CEO. In order to have common ground with the S-class, some European students also came here to study preparatory courses. Among them, a girl named Isabella was the most active.
"Heh, a bunch of infatuated girls." Xia Mi sneered. She had actually met S-class Lu Mingfei. It just so happened that she and Lu Mingfei went to the same junior high school. Didn't she know what that famous loser in the whole school was like?
It's just creating a god. They choose a weak-willed person to manipulate, push them to the forefront to attract attention, and then launch a sneak attack from behind. Such childish schemes are completely useless against me, Xia Mi!
However, a terrifying thought was born in Xia Mi's mind.
If Kassel College brought back anything from the Three Gorges during this operation, such as the egg of the King of Bronze and Fire.
Then they were forcibly awakened prematurely, causing them to be unable to exert even one percent of their power. As a result, they were surrounded and killed by a group of unruly mixed-race people in the trap that had already been set up!
That's terrifying, absolutely terrifying.
Norton and Constantine were completely outmaneuvered by humans and were thus killed in a very frustrating manner.
Xia Mi took a deep breath. Fortunately, she understood the principle of "better safe than sorry," and diligently followed the compulsory education curriculum. She even got into a top-tier high school, ranking at the top of her class, and was a promising student for Tsinghua and Peking Universities, cherished by her teachers. No one would doubt her youthful beauty and charm as a high school girl!
but……
If they truly are the Kings of Bronze and Fire, and if they were indeed killed, then their remains must be at Kassel College.
Xia Mi turned her gaze to the "Indiana Downs" homepage. This person, who always stole her tasks, had recently acted strangely. Before, he always took advantage of her being a high school student who couldn't access the internet at any time, and many of his tasks were taken by him. But this time, it was the first time he had posted a task publicly, and the task content was very mysterious, with the description written in a cryptic way, basically just two words: private message.
"I'd like to see what you're up to!" Xia Mi opened the chat window.
