Chapter 7: Letter of Recommendation
The scorching sun was high in the sky and raised the temperature outside to thirty degrees.
The number of people on the streets began to gradually decrease...
Su Xiao, on the other hand, rode his carriage through the streets, and the passersby who were on the same street as him kept frowning and looking at him with disgust.
Su Xiao ended up selling his newly purchased carriage along with his horse at a low price.
After counting the notes in his hand, Su Xiao sighed. He received 100,000 belli for selling the horse and cart. This amount looked like a lot, but it was actually equivalent to 6,000 yuan.
And with that 100,000 belli, you could buy a lot less stuff than you might think.
Su Xiao needed to give 8,000 belli just for one good suit, and another 900 belli for a regular meal.
In the end, after all the preparations, Su Xiao went to a private house...
From the outside, it looked like he had chosen a random house, but in reality, he had been observing this house for a long time.
Although the house didn't look neat, there were no vines visible on the walls, indicating that this house had been taken care of by someone.
But a thin layer of dust on the doorknob meant that the owner of the house didn't come home often.
For him, this house was an excellent choice for temporary residence.
As for a hotel or tavern, there were usually fish and dragons in such places, which could easily cause him some very unnecessary trouble.
He came to this world for a mission. He only had seventy-two hours, and at the moment, he only had sixty-eight hours left. He didn't want to mess with too many people and waste his time on them.
Contact with extra people could attract trouble, and trouble could put him in danger.
After making sure that there was no one around him, Su Xiao took out a few simple tools.
*Click* - *Crack* - *Click*~
The door to the house soon opened. The elemental locks of this world didn't provide any barrier to him.
Without giving any sign, he entered the house as if it were his own, then closed the door firmly.
As he had expected, there was no one in the house.
It was a private house with an area of one hundred square meters. There was a picture on the wall. The photo showed a man, a woman, and a little girl. From the woman's sincere smile, it was clear that this was a happy family.
Su Xiao quickly undressed and went to the bathroom. Even though his stamina was amazing, the smell of his body was already starting to infuriate him.
Soon, the clear water started flowing down his body, washing away the terrible smells from his body, and after changing into a new suit, Su Xiao felt much better.
Sitting down on the sofa, a white chest suddenly appeared in Su Xiao's hands.
[Treasure Chest (White)
Open?
yes/no]
As soon as he wished to open it, the chest opened quietly without a single sound or any kind of audible alert.
[You have opened the treasure chest (white) and received the following items:
500.000 belly (can only be used in this world)
Letter of recommendation from the captain of the Side City Gate Guards
100 coins of paradise.]
The harvest was not very rich, but it was clearly not bad. After all, it was just a white treasure chest. According to the previously provided information, the white quality of the item was the worst of all existing ones.
After putting the belly away in his inventory, Su Xiao picked up the letter.
[Letter of recommendation from the captain of the Side City Gate Guards.]
Quality: White.
Type: Contact Item.
Score: 5 (The higher the item's score, the more valuable it is).
Description: This passionate letter of recommendation was written by the captain of the side city gate. According to the content of this letter, the person who possesses this letter has the necessary qualities to join the ranks of the guards.
With this letter, you can join the ranks of the guards, but only if the owner of this letter is a man with a sufficient number of belli.]
After reading the description of the letter, Su Xiao smiled.
This letter was exactly what he was missing.
At least he had to see his target first. Given the complexity of this world and the quest, he couldn't solve everything with brute force.
Su Xiao put all his things in his inventory and left the house.
He found a restaurant where he could have a good meal and began to carefully observe the guards who were patrolling the streets.
These guards patrolled the streets and punished brazen thieves and other troublemakers. Although they had little power, they were part of the state forces of the Goa Kingdom.
After following a couple of guards, Su Xiao arrived at their headquarters. It was a two-story office building with two obviously bored guards at the entrance.
Su Xiao had a letter of introduction in his hands, so he didn't fear anything as he walked towards the entrance of the building.
— Stop, this building belongs to the security department, no outsiders are allowed to enter — " the young guard displayed an arrogant attitude and looked at Su Xiao, who was dressed in civilian clothes, with disdain.
— Su Xiao wanted to say his name, but quickly realized that the name "Su Xiao" was a bit unusual for this world. — I'm new, my name is Byakuya.
The young guard was caught off guard and looked Su Xiao up and down.
— New guy? Byakuya? I haven't heard anything about...
— Reese! Remember what the captain said earlier. Byakuya, follow me, " the other older guard glared at his younger colleague, then led Su Xiao to the headquarters.
The young guard glared at Su Xiao and muttered something under his breath.
Su Xiao ignored him and just followed the senior guard, and soon they came to a certain office.
The senior guard straightened up and began to tidy up his appearance, and just as he was about to knock on the door, quick gasps escaped from the room.~.
Su Xiao and the senior guard looked at each other and realized what was going on in the room. The senior guard lowered his hand and quietly stepped aside.
Knocking on the door at such a moment would obviously bring the other party some trouble, and it might even harm the senior guard's career.
The guard looked at Su Xiao with a smile, and he nodded in response.
They walked away together. Su Xiao took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and handed one to the guard.
Soon, two cigarettes were lit and the two people started chatting quietly.
With just one cigarette, it was sometimes possible to create very reliable "friendships".».
— You're really lucky. Since you were given a letter like this, you will definitely join the ranks of the guards. My name is Hank, by the way. We will soon become colleagues.
Su Xiao smiled. "My name is Byakuya, please take good care of me," Su Xiao said as he stuffed a pack of cigarettes into Hank's pocket.
Since he didn't know anything about the situation in the capital, this guard could bring him some benefits for a very modest investment.
The smile on Hank's face became a little more pleasant, and at that moment, a short groan came from the office.
They both knew the time had come.
Hank waited a few minutes and then knocked on the door.
— Come in, " a gruff voice said from the office.
