Enemies Are All Nourishment for My Fungi-Chapter 186: Fetching Someone from the Internet Cafe

"The twins’ monthly living expenses add up to an adult’s monthly salary, several thousand dollars. How much did you guys actually spend?"

Ye Nai delivered another heavy blow.

Each twin received an eight hundred dollar government allowance, and she added another eight hundred, making it one thousand six hundred for one, and three thousand two hundred for both. This was comparable to outside salary levels, where even five thousand was considered high. Plus, with rent payments, mortgage, utilities, and living expenses, the financial pressure was anything but low. If it weren’t for the real cash given until the child turned eighteen, no one would be willing to have kids. And yet, many parents still pushed their children to go work as soon as they finished junior high.

"Ah?!" Jiang Hui was genuinely shocked. "Is there, is there that much?"

"Didn’t you check the balance in their accounts when you stole their phones? Each had over a thousand. Do you have that much money every month in boarding school?"

Jiang Hui was stupefied, tears coming from deep within, suddenly crying and laughing at the same time.

"They, they have that much money... I handed over the phones, gave them back, they spent it..."

"Alright, stop crying in front of me, I’m soft-hearted, I can’t stand to see this, take a break."

Jiang Hui was crying when suddenly his voice stopped, his eyes closed, and he fell asleep.

Ye Nai took all four into the Space, leaving the spore to clean up the area, and she returned to the hotel.

From the dark Secret Realm forest in the dead of night to the bright hotel room at noon, she had barely steadied herself when the sunlight from the window dazzled her eyes.

Ye Nai checked the time, it had only been half an hour of interrogation, and it wasn’t even 12:30 yet.

No wonder the sunlight was so intense.

She took a sip of water and went out.

Ye Nai was very familiar with Wuyuan Road, a small two-lane road running north to south, with Gaofei Internet Cafe located at the southern end of the road. Standing at the intersection and looking around, there were two elementary schools and a junior high school.

This junior high was where the twins studied, and where Ye Nai had attended herself. If her parents hadn’t divorced, her sister would have naturally followed suit and progressed to this junior high as well.

However, she was truly unfamiliar with this internet cafe; after school, she had to go home to do chores and had no spare cash to spend time at an internet cafe.

Close to the school, and favored by students, it was no wonder they had lookouts specifically watching for any sudden inspections.

Ye Nai rode to the vicinity of the internet cafe, parked her bike, then walked in.

Upon entering, she discreetly infused a group of idling young men at the entrance with a wave of spores.

Past the main door was the cashier’s desk, where you had to pay to start a computer.

Ye Nai lifted her chin at the cashier girl.

"Is Huang Yuanhao here?"

Ye Nai’s attire clashed with the rest of the people in the internet cafe. She was clean and had a faint scent of mosquito-repellent floral water, clearly not from their world.

The cashier girl looked at her and chewed her gum twice.

"Who are you? What do you want with him?"

"I’m a courier, have a message for Huang Yuanhao."

"You’re a courier and dressed so clean?"

"I don’t take those small jobs for just ten or so dollars."

Ye Nai smiled warmly, the very picture of a good-natured older sister at home, further reinforcing the impression of a pricey, high-quality service.

The cashier girl was bamboozled yet skeptical.

"Huang Yuanhao made friends with a rich boss?"

Ye Nai just smiled and shook her head, "I can take more expensive jobs because I’m discreet."

The cashier girl suddenly understood, took another few looks at Ye Nai, chewed her gum forcefully, checked something on her computer for a while, then looked into the internet cafe and nudged her mouth towards it.

"There, walk down this aisle, and the last room in the VIP area is his. If he’s playing games, wait a bit. He has a fierce temper if you interrupt him."

"Okay, thank you."

The cashier girl touched her colorful hair, thinking she wasn’t bad-looking herself. She wondered if she could do this kind of errand work after cleaning herself up a bit. Earning fifty or a hundred just for delivering a message would cover her daily meal expenses, with enough left over for snacks and drinks.

Ye Nai walked along the aisle to the innermost private room area, and continued inward following the numbers on the doors, stopping in front of the last numbered door.

Even through the crack in the door, she could hear the intense sounds of gaming inside.

With caution, Ye Nai released a spore to sneak into the room for a reconnaissance, only to find there was just one person inside.

She gently turned the doorknob and pushed the door open to enter.

In front of the game desk sat a young kid, half of his face hidden by the monitor, furiously tapping on the keyboard with his left hand, swinging the mouse with his right, while still commanding his teammates on where to back up troops.

Just by seeing his profile, Ye Nai recognized him as Huang Yuanhao. She closed the door, following the cashier girl’s advice, and patiently waited for him to finish the game, not just to guard against his possible fury but also to avoid letting his teammates on voice chat hear any unusual noise.

Taking advantage of Huang Yuanhao’s focus on the game, Ye Nai crouched beside the computer, donning white silk gloves as she waited.

Two minutes later, the sound of the game ending came through – Huang Yuanhao’s team had won, and he excitedly waved his arms to celebrate the victory before saying through the headset.

"Take a five-minute break, I’m going to pee. Be right back, and then we’ll keep pushing for stars today."

Watching him take off his headset, Ye Nai quickly acted, pulling out the headset wire connected to the main computer.

Huang Yuanhao stood up and was startled to see someone standing behind the desk, letting out a weird scream.

"Who are you?!"

"I’m just someone doing delivery jobs."

"What are you here for?"

"To deliver a message to someone named Huang Yuanhao."

"I am Huang Yuanhao. Who’s sending me a message?"

"My boss is with the Skyfire Association."

"Skyfire Association? What the hell is that?"

"You don’t know? Gaofei Internet Cafe is the Gaofei Gang, you’re aware of that, right?"

"That, I know."

Huang Yuanhao nodded, seeing the person mention Gaofei Internet Cafe and Gaofei Gang convinced him somewhat; the elder brother he admired most right now was the one who oversaw this place.

"Then do you know that the Gaofei Gang is just a small front gang? That there’s a bigger gang backing it up?"

"A front gang? A backer gang?" Huang Yuanhao was young after all, with a sharp mind. It didn’t take him long to connect the dots, quickly concluding, "Is the Skyfire Association the one behind it?"

"Right."

"But why are they looking for me?"

Ye Nai pulled out her phone and recited Huang Yuanhao’s personal and family background by rote, a textbook case of an alcoholic father, an overworked mother, school-dropout siblings, and his own anger.

The more Huang Yuanhao listened, the more he sweated, and he hurriedly called her to stop.

"Stop, stop, stop, I believe you, I believe you."

"Just to confirm, this is your information, right?"

"Yes, it’s mine. Skyfire Association is really powerful to have found all this out."

"Then there’s no mistake, someone from above specifically asked for you. You need to report to Six Bridge Park at four in the afternoon today, I’m just here to pass on that message," Ye Nai lied with a straight face.

"This afternoon at four? Okay, okay, I’ll be there on time."

"Also, be mindful of keeping it a secret. Aside from you, no one else in this internet cafe knows about Skyfire Association’s order."

"Oh oh, okay. But can’t I let my elder brother know either?"
