Ye Zhongming finally had the mood to savor the delicacies and meals prepared specifically for top members.
He knew that his identity was recognized here, albeit temporarily.
The advantage of this organization, compared to other races, was that it did not care who you were, only what you could do.
And precisely, Ye Zhongming could do a lot.
As a portion of the operational expenses converted into meals and drinks, the quality was quite good, and satisfying one's appetite easily brought a pleasant mood.
In such a mood, Ye Zhongming welcomed his second visitor of the day.
This was a21, who became a top member at his recommendation.
Ye Zhongming was somewhat surprised by the visit but quickly dismissed his astonishment.
To be cautious, he decided not to engage with this person for the time being, nor accept any tasks, as he wasn't in a hurry to handle those matters.
However, a21 was different; as a newly promoted top member, he had a desire to quickly demonstrate his value, so he asked Ye Zhongming several questions, making him the primary target for his business outreach.
Ye Zhongming was not averse to this; after all, he had just received preliminary confirmation from this organization.
a21 entered and first greeted Ye Zhongming, who was sitting there.
This was not only because he had learned from others that Ye Zhongming had spoken up for him, but also because a11 was the top member, possessing significant influence and decision-making power.
This often meant that he could make many things easier or more difficult.
a21 was very aware of this; it was also his purpose for joining the organization.
Who wouldn't love Moon Age Gold? If bowing could earn him that, he wouldn't mind doing it continuously.
"Sit."
Ye Zhongming gestured with a hint of arrogance.
a21 complied and then instinctively glanced at the teleportation array, first slightly surprised, then somewhat enlightened.
Ye Zhongming was taken aback for a moment, but then he understood something.
When a01 came, he could tell that he wasn’t the "true" holder of the a11 identity, probably because... the other party was likely, no, should basically be a peak expert, which was why he confidently claimed that Ye Zhongming was not the one who killed Kun座.
However, a21 was different; he should not be a peak expert, otherwise, he wouldn’t have only just entered the ranks of top members and wasn’t even ranked among the candidates' forefront.
Though it was highly likely that he wasn't a peak expert, he could still perceive the energy fluctuations of the teleporters, as this thing was quite unique.
Initially, he was surprised that this a11 had not concealed such fluctuations; didn’t he fear others discovering where his safety point was? Was it a lapse in judgment?
But soon he realized that the other party probably didn’t fear being found out at all. Such confidence undoubtedly suggested that he was a peak expert!
Thus, he had an even more respectful attitude towards Ye Zhongming.
"I came just to ask you if you really have something to transport. I, well, I am indeed very skilled in this area. Listening to your words, it seems there is a demand, so I came here shamelessly to inquire."
a21 lowered his posture; this was the most normal attitude anyone who was not a peak expert would adopt when facing a peak expert.
When both sides were not hostile, this was not fear, merely instinct.
"What can you transport? Where can you transport to? What are your confidentiality measures? What’s the transport capacity at a time? Is it purely transport, or can there be additional actions?"
Ye Zhongming casually posed several questions.
a21's eyes lit up; he felt that business was knocking at his door.
"If it’s just transportation, then I can really transport anything, charging fees based on distance and the difficulty of receiving the goods."
"As for capacity, it’s hard to say, but in the vast majority of situations, I can transport everything in one go."
"As for confidentiality measures, you can rest assured; this is what I do. If there's no confidentiality, how can I keep doing it? I wouldn’t survive myself."
