95: Chapter 0095 Account

Overall, Li Size's preliminary judgment was:

The first possibility was the most likely, the second ranked second, and the third could basically be ruled out.

He wanted to pry some information about the mission issuer from Flora, but Flora said all transactions were conducted anonymously through the Dark Web platform, and she had never directly contacted the employer, so she couldn't provide any more clues.

The Dark Web platform used encrypted runes to hide identities, and even transaction records could not be traced.

After hearing this, Li Size's vigilance toward the Dark Web deepened—this platform hidden behind the scenes was indeed strict and mysterious.

However, Li Size was not too worried about never figuring out who was behind it.

When leaving Glen City, Old Payne had promised him that he would help him figure out which organizations intended to commercially snipe Li Size before the new semester began.

Old Payne's promise was like a stabilizing pill, allowing Li Size to temporarily set aside his doubts.

Whether it was these giants or that Deputy Director of the Department of Education, Li Size had no intention of letting them off so easily.

Since they intended to make a move against him, they should have expected to pay the price sooner or later.

The truth might be complex, but the resolve for revenge was simple and direct—so who did it, and what did it matter?

Ultimately, none of them would escape.

Seeing Li Size deep in thought with a furrowed brow, Flora slowly moved over and crouched beside him.

She placed her soft hand on his tense thigh and began to knead. The warmth from her palm seeped through the fabric; the pressure was light but effective, slowly easing the stiffness in his muscles.

Li Size couldn't help but let out a slight moan, and his body gradually relaxed.

Flora didn't speak, just continued what she was doing, her gaze quietly fixed on his face, as if trying to read the thoughts he hadn't spoken aloud from his subtle expressions.

Flora was only wearing a long robe, and when her hand moved, the hem swayed slightly. Li Size glanced down and caught sight of her slender, pale ankle, causing a small ripple in his heart.

As if sensing what Li Size was thinking, Flora's face flushed slightly, and she whispered:

"Master, is my massage comfortable? I also know how to do... that kind of... crooked massage. Would you like me to try...?"

Li Size felt a strong urge, but remembering that he hadn't 'provided rations' to the two women for several days, he still restrained himself and said softly:

"This is very good. I have things to do later, maybe next time."

Flora stopped talking and focused on gently massaging Li Size, her fingers soft yet strong, relieving the tension in his neck and shoulders.

Li Size closed his eyes to enjoy the moment, but suddenly remembered something and opened his eyes to ask:

"Flora, how did you know my information? For example, my current location."

"Master, the Dark Web has a service for selling information," Flora's voice was gentle, her reply concise, her hands never stopping their movement, as if this were a common occurrence.

Li Size nodded, slightly relieved: as long as it wasn't the person who placed the order.

If the person who placed the order could track his information at any time, then that party's power was too terrifying, and the danger Li Size faced would be even more dreadful, possibly leaving him nowhere to hide.

He mused that the Dark Web was indeed too powerful and too mysterious; perhaps he could gain more benefits through Flora on the Dark Web, such as obtaining intelligence on enemies or resources.

However, this practice of selling one's information also made Li Size extremely averse and sensitive. He quickly asked:

"Is there a way to stop them from selling my information? I don't want to become a transparent person in others' eyes."

Flora thought for a moment, the massage on her hands slowed down slightly, and she shook her head, saying:

"No. The Dark Web rules are strict, and information trading is public.

However, they do have a rune encryption service—if Master pays 10 Gold Coins to encrypt your information, anyone who wants to buy it must pay 10 Gold Coins as a starting price. This can raise the threshold and reduce the number of irrelevant people prying. Encryption uses special concealment runes to lock the information, which is unlocked only after sufficient payment."

"Cough, cough!"

Li Size choked upon hearing this, almost laughing out loud. This service was so sly, essentially profiting from both sides!

It earned money from sellers and money from buyers.

But since he was extremely sensitive about his personal information, he thought for a moment and still took out 20 Gold Coins to hand to Flora:

"Encrypt my information. Pay 20 Gold Coins first; I hope it has some effect."

Flora shook her head and did not accept the Gold Coins, but instead said softly:

"Master, I still have over 20 Gold Coins saved. Please let me pay for the encryption for you.

You have already given me so much; this is what I should do."

Her eyes were sincere, with a hint of unrefusable insistence.

Oh wow!

Li Size's eyebrows shot up; this 'medicine' was quite potent!

After enjoying about half an hour of intimate time, Li Size gradually felt he was losing control.

The faint fragrance emanating from Flora, her soft demeanor, and her occasional slightly shy gaze were like a net slowly closing in, causing his heart to race.

He warned himself internally: if this continued, he might truly fall into this gentle trap.

He looked up toward the window and saw that it was already late, the outside pitch black. Li Size quickly collected his thoughts and arranged for Flora to prepare to leave.

Before leaving, he called her to his side and seriously instructed her on several tasks, his tone carrying unquestionable authority:

"First, pay attention to all intelligence related to me, especially the commercial attack plan targeting the little sorcerer donkey.

They might take action soon; it would be best if you could figure out their intentions and steps."

"Second, I need you to inquire about a person's movements: the former Deputy Director of the Monte Province Department of Education, Bachima. Find out what he has been doing recently."

"Third," he paused slightly, his tone becoming even more solemn, "Help me find out where to obtain 'melancholy fruit,' or any clues related to it."

brain in a vat was a Zero Ring permanent Mental Energy enhancement Wizardry Potion that Li Size intended to refine. It could directly increase his Mental Energy limit; he was just missing the melancholy fruit as the main ingredient. Once he got it, he could start refining it.

"Fourth," he continued, "Keep an eye out for new alloy formulas on the Dark Web, especially those with high strength and good compatibility with energy particles.

Also, if any Wizardry advancement knowledge is for sale or auction, regardless of the school or the price, report it to me immediately."

The performance of black demonic iron was no longer sufficient for Li Size's needs.

The Wizardry version of the barrett sniper rifle he wanted to build required a sturdier Wizardry alloy that could interface well with Demonic Energy particles to unleash its envisioned power.

Having given his instructions, Li Size couldn't help but curve his lips slightly. Having such a smart, capable, and obedient Wizard Apprentice as a subordinate made things much less worrying.

Not only was her ability reliable, but her looks and figure were also rarely seen. Such an assistant was indeed pleasing.

He couldn't help but think:

If he could have a few more helpers like her, many things would become much easier.

However, seeing how many tasks she had taken on, while also bearing the risk of being 'bullied' by his momentary impulse, a trace of slight apology arose in Li Size's heart.
