The Abyssal Garden: No Room for the Idle

Before packaging the customer's items into the exquisite box,

Su Qi had contacted the customer. This step was often to ascertain any additional requirements from the customer.

If it were ordinary goods, this step wouldn't be necessary. However, high-end customers usually had some troublesome and demanding requirements regarding their goods and packaging, among other details.

For instance, this Ms. Florence Grace—even before Su Qi could reply, she had already taken the initiative to speak, and her tone was quite polite.

"That... "

"Can it be shipped tomorrow?"

Su Qi responded, "Sorry, I'm afraid that won't be possible."

".....Then when can it ship?"

"This afternoon."

"...."

Florence Grace fell silent for a few seconds, seemingly unable to wrap her head around the answer. After a few seconds, she slowly typed out her message:

"Can it be sent via Star Express? Our estate... is a bit troublesome, with quite a few restrictions."

Look at that.

Estate... Rich ladies sure are rich.

Su Qi replied politely, "We don't accept couriers outside of the company's partnerships, dear."

"But..."

She seemed to want to say something but hesitated for a moment: "Okay then, what courier do you guys use?"

"Star Express."

"????"

The person on the other side of the screen was silent much longer this time. She didn't know why, but she always felt the urge to slap this employee.

Nevertheless, she... obviously couldn't be bothered with that now and after hesitating for a few seconds,

"Additionally... I can make a request to you, right?"

"I would like you to place a Super Dream MR412 inside..." she paused, tentatively asking, "Is that possible?"

Su Qi raised an eyebrow.

Something wasn't right.

Judging from the account level, the customer was clearly a long-time client, often purchasing various luxury items. However, the person currently using this account seemed like someone not very familiar with online shopping.

And... Super Dream MR412?

Su Qi knew about it; it was a miniature virtual internet connection device, quite valuable...

He was about to reply.

Just at that moment.

Su Qi's eyelid twitched slightly as he was slowly shown a [!]

[Delivering Super Dream MR412 to the customer will reward you with... Super Dream Hacker Agreement]

Just hand it over?

Su Qi replied:

"The product link has been sent to you, you need to place an order to purchase it."

This thing was even cheaper than lipstick, just 10,000 Cyber Coins. Since the customer wanted it and she was a rich lady, she definitely wouldn't hesitate.

But.....

"....."

The customer was silent for a few seconds, then replied: "Sorry, let's forget it."

Hmm?

Just let it go?

Su Qi's gaze flickered.

Not batting an eye at a million Cyber Coin lipstick but stepping back from a virtual device that cost less than one percent of that.

The issue definitely wasn't the price.

Moreover, based on the previous conversations, he had a pretty good idea.

There was only one possibility: she was not the account owner and even the lipstick wasn't something she had purchased. She was just trying to use this channel to secretly acquire the items she needed.

"Just like a child without a phone, sneakily using their parents' account to buy a Fiji Cup."

Su Qi understood.

However.

He didn't want to miss this exclamation point task.

He was just about to reply, "If you really need it, I can personally help..."

At that moment.

The electronic monitoring holographic detector next to him suddenly flashed red!

And emitted a warning, all the text that had been typed was deleted!

Bad.

It's this sensitive?

He hadn't even finished speaking, and it was already blocked.

Su Qi glanced at the screen; the customer hadn't said anything for ten seconds, and their previous statements were being retracted. Seems like she was indeed using it sneakily and was probably about to go offline now.

"Time waits for no one, so be it..."

He faced the electronic monitoring holographic detector, without any hesitation, he activated [Artificial Team's Counterattack]

The next moment.

[Judgment Successful]

The whole device malfunctioned as if it had short-circuited.

[Attention to workstation 213's monitoring system malfunction! Please repair immediately!]

The warning popped up!

The malfunction seemed to be very brief.

So Su Qi moved quickly, writing his private number on the corner of the lipstick packaging with his pen.

Just as he finished doing all this.

The device's red light flickered on again!

"Beep beep beep..." It was scanning everything in front of it.

[Monitoring system at workstation 213 has been restored, no anomalies found]

Su Qi replied slowly, "Please make sure to personally receive the delivery, and carefully check the barcode inside the packaging."

The customer seemed stunned for a moment, but did not respond, and then went offline.

Don't know if she saw it.

"...Well, with the afternoon's expedited delivery, the result should be known by evening."

Su Qi glanced at all the various instruments, devices, and electronic eyes surrounding him.

In this world full of surveillance.

Every action seemed destined to be recorded; it was indeed a hassle, even with the help of [Artificial Team's Counterattack], it was only a drop in the bucket and couldn't make much impact.

Time passed by, minute by minute.

When people left the company, the sky had already darkened.

The middle-aged man sighed, his eyes numb, feeling as if he had been drained:

"This is the hardest task I've ever done. Even fighting against various monsters, I never complained, but now, I feel like I've lost half my life."

Ponytail looked at the other employees, puzzled: "But why don't they feel tired? Instead, they seem very excited."

"Fatty mumbled, "Night owls, I guess. I just get excited at night and can't sleep; I often stay up late."

Su Qi looked over calmly: "This is completely different, after 14 hours of work, whether it's physical or mental, one would end up exhausted, but... after undergoing prosthetic enhancement, things are completely different."
