Chapter 1561: Chapter 844: The New Steward of the Outpost Base (Part 2)

The Marquis’s eyes lit up. He was in dire need of a newcomer to help him sort out political affairs. The Duke of Storm City was about to arrive, and he didn’t want to be impeached again.

But Marquis Bolton feigned indifference and asked, "Where were you before this assembly?"

"My lord, I was at Kennedy Marquis Manor, serving as the third butler, responsible for the daily life of the eldest son, Blue Mountain," Qing Chen replied.

"Your abilities seem decent, but how did you end up being assigned to clean toilets?" Marquis Bolton understood well that being sent to clean toilets usually meant someone had bribed base officers like Corgi, and then they humiliated their enemies, eventually sending them off to the Taboo Forest to die.

He knew some things. He also knew what Corgi and his people were doing, but he lacked the energy and ability to handle it...

So he became more and more confused.

Qing Chen answered, "I once risked my life to save Kennedy Marquis. This time, the Marquis sent me to the battlefield, intending to give me a nobility merit, but someone didn’t want me to take the credit."

Marquis Bolton chuckled, "This world is indeed filthy. Isn’t the Superconductor World more fun? Life is so short; it’s much happier to be in the Superconductor World."

However, Marquis Bolton was intrigued. Someone willing to risk their life for their master, with decent work abilities...

Forget it, better to observe a bit more.

He waved Qing Chen off, "Go about your business."

Qing Chen suddenly asked, "My lord, do you know the White Light Person? I’ve also watched his battle video outside the No. 8 Multidimensional World."

Marquis Bolton immediately felt awkward, "I don’t know him yet. I sent him a private message, and he didn’t reply. Of course, I understand; someone as formidable as him probably doesn’t have time for me."

"He didn’t reply to you? Didn’t you mention your status?" Qing Chen asked.

"I did, but he still didn’t reply. He’s a god in the Superconductor World, why would he engage with people like us?" Marquis Bolton said.

Qing Chen thought to himself, why are you starting to self-PUA? The Marquis is already a highly ranked noble...

Of course, this Marquis Bolton didn’t seem like a real Marquis. At least the Kennedy Marquis wasn’t like that.

He pondered for a moment and said, "What if I have a way for you to meet the White Light Person?"

"What way?" Marquis Bolton doubted.

Actually, Qing Chen had a very efficient method. He could say: Just mention my name to the White Light Person, and it’ll surely work.

Or he could say to Marquis Bolton: No need to log into the Superconductor World, the White Light Person is right in front of you. Just do a split for me.

At that time, this Marquis Bolton would bow low, and Qing Chen would reach the pinnacle of life on the West Continent in no time...

But that was too risky. The whole Roosevelt Kingdom was looking for him, what if this Bolton reported him? How could Qing Chen trust Bolton at a time like this?

After careful consideration, he said, "While I don’t know the White Light Person, when he opened the No. 8 Multidimensional World game mechanics, I was also in there. I even gave him an airdrop I picked up: an assault rifle and a bottle of potion. It was a chance encounter; I don’t know if it can be of any help. My lord, you could send him a private message, saying you’re a friend of Flash, and perhaps that might provide an opportunity. But I’m not too sure."

This statement was still somewhat risky. If Qing Chen hadn’t just used a substitute to clear his suspicions completely, he would have been even more cautious.

As for whether anyone had sent an airdrop to the White Light Person, wasn’t that up to him to say?

Marquis Bolton’s eyes lit up, "Really, you even sent a gun to the White Light Person?! Did you fight alongside him?"

"No," Qing Chen shook his head, "I was killed instantly, and just deleted my account to start over."

"Ah, then can I try using your friend’s name?" the Marquis probed.

"You can try first. This is all I can do," Qing Chen said.

Qing Chen turned and left the office, heading to clean the restroom as expected.

He walked into a cubicle and put on the virtual glasses. Upon entering the Superconductor World, he saw a private message from Marquis Bolton: "Hello White Light Person, I’m a fan of yours and would like to make friends. Sorry for presumptuously stating my identity before. A Marquis of such a rank should catch your attention. I’m friends with Flash, and he said he knows you..."

Qing Chen responded, "So you’re a friend of Flash! At that time in the No. 8 Multidimensional World, I was isolated and helpless, and Flash once helped me. His friend is my friend too. Let’s add each other as friends, and join a dungeon together sometime."

After responding, Qing Chen logged off.

He walked out of the cubicle and saw Corgi standing outside with a grim face, with two soldiers behind him.

Corgi said coldly, "You think you’re clever?"

Qing Chen shook his head, "Sorry, officer, I don’t understand what you’re saying. You just forgot where that document was, so I found it for you. I don’t think that makes me clever, nor do I think I’ve done anything wrong."

"Ha," Corgi sneered, "still being stubborn here. I suspect you’re a rebel spy who infiltrated the Marquis’s Office to steal documents, so I need to search you. Don’t even think of resisting, or it will be worse. Beat him, break his ribs for me! I know you’re C-Class, but think it over. In this outpost base, even an A-Class must obediently follow military law!"
