Chapter 189 Wants to Ride a Helicopter
Li Chengxi was the type to go home and open a convenience store right after graduating from university.
He had never really held a job, so his experience with society was not very deep.
But he still had some experience in judging people.
After all, people came and went from the convenience store every day, so he came into contact with quite a few.
The moment he heard Qian Sen's tone over the phone, he immediately sensed something was up.
"Is it very troublesome?"
"Well, not exactly very troublesome..."
"Can you just say it clearly? What's with all the hemming and hawing?"
"You're right. It's not clear over the phone. I'll be right there."
After saying that, Qian Sen hung up.
Less than a minute later, Li Chengxi heard a car stop at the entrance, and then Qian Sen himself walked into the convenience store.
"What's the situation? You couldn't say it over the phone, is it some kind of secret?"
"It's not a matter of being a secret or not. This is just a little difficult to bring up."
Li Chengxi looked at Qian Sen's expression.
"A personal matter?"
"Yeah."
"What the fuck, didn't you say you can't use your position for personal gain?"
"It's not my personal matter, and this is sort of operating in a grey area, I guess."
Qian Sen sat down and said:
"Do you still have any Potions of Remove Disease on hand?"
"I do have one bottle. You need it?"
"How could I afford something so expensive? I usually don't dare to get sick for more than five hundred yuan. Any more than that and I'd have to use my medical insurance."
He lowered his voice and said:
"Actually, it's for my captain from when I was in the army. He also works for Section Nine now. He said his old captain from when he was in the army..."
"Hold on, I'm a little confused. So, your captain's old captain is the one who came to you for help?"
"He didn't ask me directly, but it's more or less the same."
"Is he an insider?"
"He's an informed party, not an insider."
People like Li Chengxi, who had direct contact with transmigrators, were called First-Class Contactors.
They were usually included among the insiders because many of them would have more than one encounter with transmigrators and needed to be managed centrally.
On the other hand, those who were merely aware of the situation but had no actual contact with transmigrators were Second-Class Contactors.
"The old captain is over seventy this year. He was diagnosed with liver cancer some time ago. The doctor said the surgery would be very risky, and he has at most half a year left to live."
It had been mentioned on the forum that the reason the Potion of Remove Disease could sell for several million was that it had a chance of curing terminal illnesses.
"Then they can just buy it on the forum themselves."
"The problem is, they can't buy it."
Informed parties were different from insiders; they couldn't log into the dedicated forum established by Section Nine for insiders.
"It's just a matter of a login program. Besides, you could just buy it for them."
"When I say they can't buy it, I don't mean they can't get on the forum. I mean they can't get their hands on one."
Qian Sen sighed.
"If you've paid attention to the Trading Zone, you'd know that things like the Potion of Remove Disease are in extremely high demand. The moment someone posts one for sale, it gets snatched up immediately."
He remembered a few of the old brothers in the forum's chatroom saying that some people specifically act as scalpers for this, using their connections to sell things at a high price.
"So the old captain's family called your captain, and your captain called you."
"Yeah, that's pretty much how it went."
With many people in need and few items available, one couldn't rely on normal means to acquire it.
"I've helped contact a few people who have some in stock, and I came here to check with you as well."
One Potion of Remove Disease couldn't guarantee a cure.
It was clearly stated that it only had a chance of working.
If one's luck was bad, it was possible that even ten bottles wouldn't do the trick.
So if they were going to buy, they had to buy several bottles as a backup.
If they didn't use them all, they could always save them for an emergency.
If all else failed, selling them off again wouldn't result in a loss.
"Don't worry, you'll definitely be paid well. The old captain's family is not short on money, and they'll give you a higher price than you'd get on the forum. And this transaction won't go through the platform; it will be a personal account transfer, so there's no commission for Section Nine, and you won't have to pay taxes."
Not going through the proper channels meant the guarantee rested entirely on Qian Sen personally, which was, of course, against the rules.
However, the scalpers on the forum had been doing this all along.
The reason this had to be kept quiet was that Qian Sen was part of Section Nine, and it wouldn't look good for him to do this.
It could potentially violate the organization's internal discipline.
No wonder Qian Sen said this was operating in a grey area when he came in.
If no one made a fuss, it would be as if nothing happened.
But if someone did take it seriously, Qian Sen would be in no small amount of trouble.
He probably had a very good relationship with his captain, and his captain, in turn, had a particularly good relationship with his own captain.
Otherwise, he wouldn't take on such a huge responsibility for an ordinary friend.
Li Chengxi didn't need to consider too much.
He was going to sell it sooner or later anyway, so how he sold it and to whom didn't really matter.
"I don't have a problem with it. How will the transaction work?"
"I'll call my captain later. The old captain's family will probably send someone to trade with you in person. I'll definitely be there too. We'll discuss the specifics then. Just keep the benefits you get to yourself and you'll be fine."
"Got it. Give me a call when they arrive."
Viola's side was waiting for a counterattack.
A large batch of supplies at this time would certainly give them a better chance.
Besides, it was Audel who gave him the potion.
Using his elder sister's money for his younger sister Viola wasn't a waste, so Li Chengxi didn't really care much.
"Oh, right, that wanted serial killer you mentioned before..."
"Don't ask. If you do, the answer is no news."
Every time he met Qian Sen, Li Chengxi had to ask.
After all, it was very likely that the person had disguised themselves as Gan Xiaoyan and come face-to-face with him, which was frightening to think about.
"The Head Office only told us that the target has already left your jurisdiction. The rest is not our concern."
"So can they be caught?"
"It shouldn't be a problem. The Head Office has never failed to handle something they've taken on. They should be locked up in prison by now."
"What the fuck? A son of a bitch like that even gets to go to prison?"
"It's a special prison for people with supernatural abilities. Don't ask about the specific location. As long as you don't commit a crime, you'll never see it in your life."
Although from a harm perspective, it would be best to just execute such a bastard with a bullet and be done with it, Section Nine's understanding of supernatural powers like magic was still very limited, despite how adept they seemed at handling these situations.
Capturing friendly transmigrators for experiments could very well lead to a collective uprising among all transmigrators.
But capturing a criminal like this for experiments? Naturally, there would be no problem.
Human rights?
Please, you're not even a registered citizen here.
You're talking to me about human rights?
"Let's not talk about this for now. Whether it's asking Miss Audel for her suggestions or the old captain's family buying the potion, we still have time to arrange things. We can just pick a time that's convenient for everyone. No need to set a rigid schedule."
"I'm free anytime. It's up to you guys."
"Alright, it should be within the next few days. I'll call you once it's confirmed."
Qian Sen stood up to leave after speaking.
He still had a pile of things to attend to.
Just as he was about to walk out of the convenience store, Li Chengxi suddenly remembered something.
"Hey, wait a minute, I almost forgot."
"What's up?"
"Audel mentioned to me before that she has another small request."
"Uh... what request? Go ahead."
"She wants to ride in a helicopter once."
Qian Sen leaned against the door, a look of utter confusion on his face.
"Wait, why would she want to ride in a helicopter?"
"Maybe, probably, perhaps, I let it slip."
"..."
In fact, it was yesterday when Viola and the others were drawing up their battle plan.
Li Chengxi was talking to Audel about Qian Sen's matter at the time.
In the end, he looked at the map and said, 'If we had an attack helicopter to sweep through, it would be so much easier.'
And then Audel proposed that she wanted to ride in a helicopter once.
"Alright, it's not too difficult a request. At least it's much easier than asking to buy a cannon."
