“I thought that if you were truly a divine being, you wouldn’t allow me to negotiate with you.”
“That’s because I’m soft-hearted!”
The “divine being” seeing Yu Yi silent, continued: “You’re not angry, are you?
I didn’t intentionally deceive you. It’s just that you’re an ancient person suddenly transported here, seeing so many strange things. If I said I wasn’t a divine being, you’d be scared and unable to complete the test mission. Additionally, I initially couldn’t confirm if you could stay. If you ultimately returned to your own time and space, treating this as a divine manifestation would be easier for you to accept.”
Yu Yi listened quietly, smiling and shaking her head: “I’m not angry, I won’t blame you. In fact, I’m very grateful to you…” After a pause, she curiously asked: “How should I address you from now on?”
“Boss.”
“Just call me Boss, drop the ‘Lord’ part.” Boss changed the subject, “This mission took quite long. Rest for a few days.”
“I don’t need rest. I want to select a mission right now.”
“You really don’t need rest?”
“The previous mission was mostly Meng’s credit. I just cooperated, so I don’t feel tired. By the way, is Meng doing okay?” Yu Yi thought about his wink to her, then being hit by random gunfire.
“Him? He’s fine.”
Yu Yi sighed in relief and began reviewing the mission brief Boss sent.
She slightly furrowed her brow; most were small missions with rewards of a few hundred points, even some with just dozens of points, though these dozens-point missions were relatively easy to complete.
After Ding Jingman and Yu Taoer were sent to the countryside to avoid disaster, Yu Yi had nothing much to do. She recalled the entire mission, repeatedly thinking about what Boss said when she selected missions. Perhaps this mission wasn’t truly suitable for her, and the mission’s success ultimately depended on Meng Qing.
She had once greedily wanted to clear her debt with one mission, but instead, she was counterproductive. She spent months and ultimately only received a third of the reward. Now she understood that when choosing missions, besides considering reward levels, she also needed to consider completion time and her own strengths.
