The Makarov Family's convoy had just arrived at Haven 11 when it caught the players' attention.
Though most of the players had already followed Bai Fu and witnessed quite a few grand scenes, they had never seen such luxurious armored vehicles before.
In the wastelands, those who dared to be so ostentatious were either of extraordinary identity or possessed incredible power, and either way, the arrival of such a group at Haven 11 was a big deal.
Thus, when the vehicle stopped at the entrance to Bai Fu's residence, the area was already crowded with players.
"Could they be here to cause trouble for Fufu?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the surrounding players' eyes sharpened.
Who dares to provoke Bai Fu? I will end their lives! The number one bootlicker guard of the Fu Sect, equipped with the Burst Kill Rune, is ready to roll!
However, this speculation was quickly dismissed as the people stepping out of the vehicle respectfully took their places on either side of the entrance to Bai Fu's residence.
Their respectful demeanor didn't look at all like they had come to pick a fight.
After a while, the door opened, and Bai Fu came out. Her gaze fell on a middle-aged man with a scruffy beard.
The middle-aged man burst into laughter, "So you're the famous 'Silver Moon' Bai Fu? It's better to see once than to hear a hundred times. I am the Dark Web's contact, Dallas Makarov, and I appreciate you taking time out of your busy schedule to meet me."
Bai Fu calmly asked, "What do you want?"
Dallas replied, "We've heard of Miss Silver Moon's impressive achievements at Black Hawk Base and the Goli Desert, and just now we've upgraded your Assassin Level to the highest S-rank. From now on, you can enjoy a fifty percent discount on all services provided by the Dark Web, and we will prioritize your commissions above all others."
"Just for this, you've made such a fuss?"
"Some time ago, Miss Silver Moon put out a bounty on the Dark Web for high-level Spiritual Ability Knowledge. This bounty has now been taken, and I have been entrusted by that person to meet with you."
Bai Fu's breath hitched.
After leading the players in sweeping through the Wanderer Camp in the Goli Desert, she had accrued another 320,000 Experience points, and now she was getting closer to leveling up her Apprentice Spiritual Artist to Lv20.
But while her level was increasing quickly, the remaining two strands of the Spiritual Ability Knowledge Chain had been elusive. Dallas's words brought quite the promising news.
Of course, this was assuming it wasn't a trap.
Dallas continued, "The one who accepted the commission would like to have a proper discussion with you. It can be in person or through the terminal provided by our Dark Web, it's all up to you."
Bai Fu thought for a moment, "I don't want to waste a trip, so I'd like to hear their request first."
Dallas immediately replied, "Understood, please wait a moment."
With that, he began directing his people to move the terminal into Bai Fu's room.
While Bai Fu waited, the surrounding players started whispering among themselves.
As players, their favorite thing was to stir up trouble, and they could hardly contain their excitement at the prospect of something afoot from the recent cutscene.
[Dark Web, I've heard of it, the king of the underworld of Ancestral Origin Star, a super organization second only to the top five powers. Even they show utmost respect to Fufu, she's so badass!]
[I remember when I was about to join the Silent Court, my friend advised me against joining a small camp, saying the tasks were few and the rewards low. Well, I didn't listen, I chose to believe in Master Tai'er's judgment. Who could hate a white-haired girl?]
[Small? The Silent Court is as grand as Fufu's heart!]
[I'm getting more and more curious about Fufu's real identity now. Is she really from an alien planet?]
[Real or not, I only know that our Dear Fu is the Main Character.]
Ten minutes later, in the room.
After a series of beeps, the terminal was successfully activated, and an amiable figure appeared on the old screen.
"Miss Silver Moon, let me introduce myself first. I am Qiu Qingze of the Railroad Guild."
Bai Fu cut to the chase, "I heard you have the advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge I've put a bounty on?"
Qiu Qingze replied, "Yes, I would like to use this advanced Spiritual Ability Knowledge as payment to commission Miss Silver Moon to help us with a special task."
"Do you really need me to help with a task when the Railroad Guild's Special Agents are so capable?" Bai Fu asked with a half-smile.
Qiu Qingze began to explain, "You must have heard of the Genetic Primordial factory being attacked by the Truth Society, leading to the exposure of secret research, right?"
How could I not know; I was one of the participants. That news was even spread by my suggestion through Master Tai'er!
"We suspect that the Genetic Primordial is conducting a very secretive research project that could potentially deal a heavy blow to the Railroad Guild if it succeeds," Qiu Qingze's expression was dead serious, "To avoid such a catastrophe, we must investigate thoroughly. However, suspicion is just that, suspicion, and we are not ready to completely fall out with the Genetic Primordial, so it isn't convenient for us to get involved directly. We can only entrust someone else to carry out the investigation."
Bai Fu pondered, "Aren't you worried that I might actually be an Ace Agent of the Genetic Primordial? If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a lot of rumors to that effect going around."
Qiu Qingze smiled slightly, "We have someone on the inside at the Genetic Primordial, and he's quite certain that you have no ties to them."
"I see, then tell me, what do you want me to investigate."
