Zenless Zone Zero: I'm a Succubus in Sixth Street

Chapter 60: Chapter 60: Accepting the Commission



"Mmm, this should be considered complete. I added another 20-something chapters to wrap it up. It shouldn't be considered a rushed ending, right?" After posting the last chapter, Wise thought to himself that not many people were reading it anymore anyway, so no one would probably have an opinion if he ended it like this.

And then, he suddenly received a private message in his author backend.

[Master, it is detected that your novel's backend has received a private message. The words contain threatening language and are directed at you, Master.]

"Huh? No way? I just said that, and someone already sent me a private message to curse me out?" As he spoke, Wise also clicked on the private message to check the content. The private message that Fairy said contained threatening words was sent by an account called 'Laments of a Golden-Haired Princess'.

Unlike the other private messages with similar meanings like 'You're resurrected!', the overall meaning of the other party's private message was roughly complaining about him not updating for so long and also ending it so hastily.

Taking a look at the donation rankings, the other party was actually number one on his list. In that case, it seemed he had to reply seriously.

'I'm very sorry. Due to some matters in recent years, I haven't been able to continue creating this work. The current conclusion is for the sake of creating better works in the future. Thank you very much for your support.'

After replying to the other party, Wise also sent this message as a group message to the other readers who had sent him private messages.

And on the other side, 'Laments of a Golden-Haired Princess', uh, to be precise, it should be Lucy, also carefully read the reply she received from Wise. "Oh? So that's how it is? Alright then, this young lady will be magnanimous and forgive you."

As she spoke, Lucy also guessed that the other party might have encountered some difficulties, so she casually sent another large donation and then sent another private message. "Since you're back, then take some time to update properly. As long as you make me happy, you won't be short on donations."

Just as this private message was sent, Lucy discovered that a new novel had appeared in the author's works. Like the one that had just been completed, it was also a peaceful-era school romance for girls. And it had directly posted hundreds of thousands of words at once!

As for Wise on this side, after posting some of the content of this novel, he naturally also noticed the private message sent by the other party. After a polite reply, he didn't pay any more attention to it.

[Master, it is detected that a string of unfamiliar data has just appeared in the system. I suspect a hacker intrusion and am doing my best to intercept it.]

"Oh, no need to intercept. I did that." To be precise, it was the system that did it. Because Wise didn't want to type it out himself, he directly had the system import the novel into the computer.

[? But Master, you did not use any technological products. The source of this data does not conform to scientific principles.]

"Hm? Then do Hollows conform to scientific principles?"

[Affirmative. According to my search, I have found dozens of research papers on the internet that can prove the rational existence of Hollows. Would you like me to read them for you?]

"Forget it. It's better not to believe that kind of thing. Also, about this data matter, just treat it as my superpower and help me keep it a secret, understand?"

[Understood. This data has been sealed as Level 1 confidential content.]

After fooling Fairy, Wise also left the room on the first floor first. Because Nicole and her team had to act as the legal representatives for the trapped residents of the Hollow, Anby and Koma naturally also had no time to come to the video store. Tonight, it could only be him and Belle sleeping together. After letting the latter bear a little more of the burden, the night passed.

The next morning, Wise, pretending to be a morning jogger, set off for the vicinity of the appointed location. And Belle, although she was still a bit sleepy because she went to bed late last night, was still forcing herself to stay in the shop with Fairy. Although it might not be of much use, she was still prepared to support Wise at any time.

And Wise, after arriving at the appointed location, also glanced in that direction from a corner. It was a strong man with spiky, reddish hair. He was also wearing a coat, giving off a handsome and dashing feeling.

"Hello, hello, brother, can you hear me? How's the situation over there? Have you seen the client?"

He had just arrived at the location, and Belle's communication came through. And listening to her whispering tone, Wise couldn't help but find it a bit amusing. "Belle, other people can't hear your call. you don't have to whisper like that."

"Mmph, didn't I just think this would feel more cautious? Never mind that, hurry up and tell me the situation over there."

"Mmm, I see a rather suspicious person standing there talking to himself, like he's waiting for someone. I think he's probably our client."

"Oh, you already have a target? What does he look like? Is he one of those big, burly, fierce-looking guys?"

Hearing Belle's question, Wise also hesitated a little and observed again. It seemed there wasn't much difference from what she had said. "He is indeed a very strong-looking man, but I haven't seen his face yet. Uh, wait, I think he's spotted me."

Wise watched as the other party walked straight towards him. He wasn't too nervous. The other party, seeing him, spoke with a happy expression, "Ah, I've finally found you. I'm Anton from Belobog Heavy Industries. You must be the Rope-master I specifically commissioned—Phaethon, right?"

"Mmm. Since you could find our alt account on the Rope-Net, it must have been an acquaintance's referral. My name is Wise. If you have something to say, just say it."

"Heh, straightforward. I like your personality. I'm sorry, meeting you directly might be against the rules, but as I said before, our company is currently facing a life-or-death crisis. Because we need to maintain secrecy, we proposed this face-to-face meeting to add some constraint. I hope you can understand."

This point wasn't hard to understand. If such a situation really occurred, he would probably make the same decision.

"Alright. Since Nicole was willing to introduce us to Belobog Heavy Industries, then whether it's out of professional ethics or something else, we naturally need to take responsibility."

"Haha, with your words, young Mr. Wise, I can rest assured. It's just as the members of the Cunning Hares said... eh, wait, how did you know?"

"Don't panic, Mr. Anton. After all, there are only a few people who know our alt account, and the one who would leak the information is most likely Nicole. Alright, let's talk business now. What is the content of your commission?"

"Oh, right, right, I almost forgot about the important stuff. I'll take you to the construction site now. As for the commission, our company president will tell you personally when we get there."
