30 Then I Refuse The Job

The tunnel was long and a bit dark for Lin Fang's taste. He had to walk for quite a while before seeing light at the other end.

Lin Fang had always been a cautious person, he used human appearance before appearing outside the path. The moment he stepped outside, the path behind him disappeared into the ground.

Lin Fang looked in the surroundings to ascertain his location. He was standing in the middle of the forest with tall trees covering the surrounding areas. It took Lin Fang quite some while to find the nearest road due to the trees covering all his surroundings.

He had just stepped on the road when he received a call. Players could contact each other if they knew the other person's name, of course, at a hefty fee, you see, everything in this game was a method to earn money for the creators.

The phone call came as a surprise to Lin Fang. He had been playing this game for a little time only and no one should know his name, not even Flame Princess so who was calling him. He looked at the caller's name," Secretary of the Sun". Lin Fang had never heard of this name before so he couldn't judge the person's intention.

He had a small battle in his heart about whether to pick it up or refuse it. Finally, after hesitating for a while, he ended up picking it up. A few minutes later, he would regret this decision.

"Hello", he said

"Fallen Angel?", a calm and indifferent voice came from the other side.

"Yes", Lin Fang replied, since the other person used his name to call, he obviously knew who was gonna pick up so why bother asking.

"Mr. Fallen Angel, I have a proposal for you", the person on the other end got straight to the point.

Lin Fang felt that something was wrong with this guys brain, he didn't tell him who he was nor how he learned of his name?

"I am sorry but who are you?"

To Lin Fang, this guy felt like a person from those product promotion calls. (Basically, people who call and force you to buy products that you don't want to buy nor need but they make you feel that life would be so much better for you with their 'useful product')

The person on the other side just snickered at his question.

"Mr. Fallen Angel, who I am is not important, what's important is the proposal I am about to share with you."

Okay, Lin Fang's first impression of this guy was that he was a douchebag. Just give a straightforward answer already, no need to beat around the bush. Lin Fang unhesitatingly cut the line off, he doesn't need any shitty offers, he already has a quest and the first thing he needs to do is enter the city. He looked at the tutorials where he had seen the trick to enter and hoped with all his heart that it worked. Wait, why was he thinking like that, he still remembered how terrible it was watching, that seen in the tutorial.

A minute hadn't even passed when 'Secretary of Sun' called again. This time Lin Fang was fully prepared to ignore him. He cut off the call the moment it appeared on the caller screen.

The first time...

The second time...

The fourth time...

The eleventh time...

The fifteenth time...

This was one persistent man. Lin Fang finally couldn't take it anymore after twenty calls and he picked it up. He had tried muting the other person but it hadn't worked at all, he even reported the issue but no message came from the other side.

"Just what do you want from me?", he asked in rage.

"Mr. Fallen Angel, you should have heard of the names Heavenly Sword and Fairy Queen, right?

The moment the other person said those names, Lin Fang felt an explosion go off in his mind as he connected all the disjoint dots.

"Who are you?", he asked again in a calm and cold voice. If anyone who knew him heard him talk like this, they would surely realize that his anger had reached a point where he had blown his top completely. Of course, the man on the other side didn't know about this, he was happy that he had finally gotten the attention of the other person, this should be easier now, he thought in his heart.

"Mr. Fallen Angel, as I said, I am nobody important, what I would like to discuss with you is the proposal which I have brought for you."

This time Lin Fang remained silent as he waited for the man to continue. The Secretary was also smart enough to get the hint as he started speaking:-

"Mr. Fallen Angel, Heavenly Sword, and Fairy Queen are the apple of my master's eyes, that is why my master has asked me to come to you and offer this deal."

"Your job will be pretty simple, you will just have to create trouble for the two in the game world so that they fight the demon faction together instead of fighting each other. In return for your hard work, my master has decided to share with you various secret information of the game to allow you to level up quickly in the game. He has also agreed to pay you a very high sum in real life for the pains you would have to take during this mission."

The secretary was already sure that he had this man in his bag which such an enticing deal in front of him. They just needed this guy to take care of the two until they reached level 5. Then according to the agreement, he wouldn't be able to hurt them and thus failing to complete the main quest and losing out on the advanced class. His services would no longer be needed after that as he would be too weak to take care of them. They would have to find someone else at that point in time but what else could they do, the Demon Wargod class II was too terrifying to allow Lin Fang to continue with that class. Of course, Lin Fang didn't know this secret but that didn't mean he wasn't enticed by this deal.

Not because of the rewards he would get but because he might be able to see his father and learn what kind of a person he was.

"I want to talk with your master.", Lin Fang didn't immediately accept the terms of the contract. He was only even thinking of doing this because of the slight chance of meeting his father. Otherwise, he would have refused straightaway, he wasn't a nanny, why should he take care of those two brats when it was his father's job which looking at the way of things didn't seem to be going so well.

The person on the other end of the sneered at his statement and almost laughed out loud at his statement as he said coldly," Do you think you are worthy?"

This time, Lin Fang was struck by reality as he felt as if someone was stepping on his heart. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. He stood there for a few seconds to calm his heart before saying coldly," Then I refuse the job."

Even though he said this, the pain in his heart was unbearable. He wanted to break into tears, beat his father up into a pulp and question him, question him if he even remembered the woman who sacrificed everything for him and his dream, for his own personal greed, Lin Fang thought sorrowfully. But he knew he couldn't do it, at least not right now...
