Chapter 17: Writing a Letter (New Book Seeking Support!)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Returning to the room, Sean came out of his bedroom, patting Su Lu on the shoulder: “Cheer up, mate… I know it’s hard when your secret crush turns out to be a serial killer, but look at it this way, isn’t that cool?”

“Cool?”

Su Lu could hardly keep a straight face, Sean didn’t know that the serial killer was, in a way, his creation. He had no idea she was so fierce.

He had only given the order to stay away long ago. Now it seemed that the Corpse Maiden did go far, but it also did a lot of other things.

“Okay, let’s not talk about this, let’s talk about business! There’s a temporary job, are you in?”

Sean rarely talked about work.

“What job?”

In the White Eagle Federation, it’s normal for a college student to work part-time. Especially for Su Lu, given his recent expenses, it seemed necessary to supplement his wallet.

But Sean didn’t have much credibility in this area, especially after the last time, when Su Lu almost got tricked by him to work as a bar waiter. Su Lu always asked for full details since then.

“Cleaning the university district sewers …” Sean frowned: ” Although it’s dirty, stinking, and tiring, there is little competition, and the employer is willing to pay as much as 50 coppers a day!”

“You’re not going to pull me in to make up the numbers, are you?”

Su Lu looked at Sean suspiciously: “Or you’re hiding something? Don’t lie to me, I have my own channels for investigation, as you know!”

On hearing this, Sean immediately pleaded: “I have already signed a contract with the employer. If it is not completed, I will face a huge claim… Su Lu, you can’t abandon me!”

“I knew it…” Although it was a dirty and tiring job, the terms were good, so Su Lu was rather puzzled: “At a daily wage of 50 coppers, are they still afraid they can’t get people?”

Sean’s face suddenly became hard to speak on this issue: “Ah… Su Lu, there have been some queer talks about our university district sewer area recently!”

“Queer talks?!” Su Lu perked up and became interested: “Specifically?”

“For example… Someone heard the crying of a revenant in the sewer, and it’s even said that… there’s a monster deep down there! An environmental worker who was hired before was injured because of this and was sent to the hospital …”

Sean frowned, “And the employer doesn’t want to increase the wage, so the job dragged till now… Yesterday I saw him at the St. George Student Mutual Aid Society and struck up a conversation, I swear, it was only a few words… then somehow, I signed the contract, now no one will cooperate with me, you’re my only hope!”

“Are you sure, you didn’t just snap up the contract due to the tempting wages, only to find out later that it was trap?”

Su Lu had great doubts about this guy’s character.

“Oh… I’m sorry!”

Sean immediately knelt down: “The employer subcontracted the project to me, giving me a total of 10 silver coins, asking me to finish the job within ten days, otherwise he’ll claim ten times the money… Su Lu, you must help me!”

“Heh…”

Su Lu crossed his arms and laughed coldly: “You even tried to lie to me at first?”

“I tried to contact as many people as possible, but no one paid any attention to me!” Sean awkwardly laughed: “But then I thought of you… Monsters in sewage or whatever, they’re all just horror stories. Su Lu, aren’t you trained in fighting?”

“This thing… it’s not impossible!”

Su Lu thought and nodded: “But… I need a reward of 6 silver coins!”

“Ah! You might as well kill me!” Sean jumped up as if he had been slashed.

“Then 7 silver coins!”

“Bullshit, why is it that when you bargain, the price goes up?”

“Pay the half beforehand, or nothing doing!”

…

After a lot of joking around, Su Lu accepted and set his reward at 6 silver coins, prepaid half of it.

This is already a very lucrative offer. If it wasn’t for the monstrous rumors from the sewer and the reality of injuries, people would have been fighting to take it.

Su Lu thought that he should be stronger than the injured environmental worker, as long as he was careful, there should be no problem.

And, with this 6 silver coins, it is a great supplement to his wallet.

He looked at the silver coins in his hand. This was the third edition recently issued by the White Eagle Federation. The body of the bill is a soft silver, and the paper is thick and sturdy, giving an indescribable pleasure when touched.

The front picture is of the ‘Founding Father’, Stephen Slay, and the back is the landmark steel structure of the Federation – the Goddess of Light Memorial Tower in Posey Port.

Every bill issued at this time has a strict serial number and watermark anti-counterfeiting identification, and it can be exchanged for a silver eagle coin at any bank, which is definitely a real deal.

But Su Lu knows that according to the historic trends, the Federal Government will certainly promulgate a law in the future, canceling this linked exchange and making paper money a real ‘national credit bond’.

‘If I take advantage of this opportunity and hoard a lot of Golden Dragons and Silver Eagles, I might be able to make a fortune!’

“3 silver coins huh… This is more than half my savings!”

Sean looked at the three 1-silver bills in Su Lu’s hand, his eyes reluctant, like he was losing his girlfriend. He finally turned his head abruptly: “We have a deal, remember your promise, start at eight o’clock tomorrow morning!”

“No problem!”

Driven by life, Su Lu had done a lot of dirty and tiring work before, he didn’t mind at all.

He returned to his own bedroom, thought for a bit, and took out a piece of stationery to write a letter:

[Dear Rod Pottery:

Sorry for the late reply, I am very happy to welcome you to Nia City to meet me. To be honest, I also encountered many challenges recently, like …. a shadow that kills! It looks just like a flowing shadow… Sorry, I can’t find any other better words to describe it, my poor Demon Hunter knowledge is not enough to identify it, I hope you can help me!

Su Lu Pottery]

As for more advanced stuff like the Dawn of the Gods and Transcendent Awakening, Su Lu planned to wait for Rod to come and help him solve the current problem and then have a good chat with him.

“Hmm… The tone is about right, and the usual phrases as well…”

After finishing, Su Lu checked it over and was quite satisfied.

Ever since he fully obtained the memories of the original host, he had no difficulty pretending to be Su Lu Pottery, and was not afraid to meet his family.

Moreover, in this situation, he might already be in danger and had to find a way to break the game.

Whether it’s to enhance his own strength or to find outside help!

“I’ll mail the letter tomorrow!”

After sealing the letter, Su Lu made up his mind to mail the letter before starting work tomorrow.

At the speed of the Federal Post Office, it would probably arrive in Gusta State in 5 days. Rod will take the same time to rush back here. At the earliest, ten days, at the latest, half a month.

“That is to say, at the latest, I will get reinforcements in half a month?”
