Otherworld Girl Development Guide

The leader at the meeting took out some eye drops, put one in, and said seriously, "Comrades...we need to make strategic adjustments and establish diplomatic relations with Krobel as soon as possible. The organic crystal issue can't be delayed any longer!"

“I suggest we shift our focus to Krobel now. As an international metropolis on the mainland, it would be much easier to procure yellow crystals there. Moreover, fractal silica is also located in Krobel. If Krobel passes the evaluation, we can consider building a processing plant there directly.”

"It's a pity that we haven't established diplomatic channels with the Empire yet, otherwise we could purchase directly from the place of origin without middlemen taking a cut."

The entrance to a casual bar in Shangqiu.

Mura pressed Olivier's head down with one hand and bowed to apologize to the bar owner.

Olivier had suggested having a drink, and Mura hesitated for a moment before agreeing. After all, he had been in Shangqiu for a long time, so it was normal for him to go out for a drink.

But he soon regretted it. He shouldn't have trusted this idiot. He really dared to loudly chant cheesy pickup lines in the bar!

"We are very, very sorry, and we will provide appropriate compensation."

"No need..." the bar owner sighed, "...just don't come next time."

After the bar owner finished speaking, he shook his head and went back into the bar. A short while later, a sign was put up at the bar entrance with a lifelike chibi version of Olivier on it and the words "No Entry" written in both languages ​​below.

"You idiot! Look what you've done!"

A sneeze!

Olivier sneezed, rubbed his nose, and said without realizing it, "Mura, they just don't know how to appreciate it."

"We've been playing for so many days, when will we contact the official authorities in Shangqiu?"

"Let's wait a little longer..."

"You idiot, you didn't take it to heart at all."

Mura, who knew Olivier very well, understood his thoughts perfectly well: he was just out having fun!

................

Rental apartment complex in Shangqiu.

Seat B, Room 347.

Knock, knock, knock~ The sound of knocking on the door made Stans jump up from his rented room and look at the door warily.

"Who?"

"it's me..."

Hearing the familiar voice, Stans walked to the door, opened it, and saw a familiar person from Shangqiu.

The other party was a local gang leader in Shangqiu whom he met by chance. He helped him solve a few problems and temporarily gained his trust.

"Chen Haonan, you're late!" Stans poked his head out of the door, looked around, and only after finding no suspicious people did he open the door and gesture for Chen Haonan to come in.

After the two entered the house, Stans asked with some confusion, "Why are you alone today? Where's Pheasant?"

"He's being watched by the police and is trying to shake them off..."

"Tsk, the police in Shangqiu are too difficult to deal with..." Stans said with some feeling, "...Have the channels been opened?"

Chan Ho-nam didn't rush to answer. Instead, he sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and showed off his earring and tattoos. Like a gangster boss who had been around for many years, he picked up a can of beer from the table and took a sip.

“It’s done. I spent a lot of money to bribe the border patrol officer. He agreed to open a passage for you, but only for goods…” Chen Haonan said after putting down his beer. “...You have to understand how difficult it is to let people in here, but they only want the goods!”

“That’s enough. For the Order, goods are no problem!” Stans said proudly.

With the goods in, would there be a shortage of downstream agents? As long as he could establish an underground organization in Shangqiu, the higher-ups of the cult would definitely reward him handsomely.

"Hmph~ Stans, let me make this clear, I, Chan Ho-nam, also have my pride. I've already pulled the strings for you..."

Chan Ho-nam's expression hardened. He picked up the pale red bottle of Truth from the table and said with an unfriendly look:

"...But how can you even bring out goods of this quality? How can I possibly have the nerve to give this kind of product to someone?"

"This is just the Order's initial truth? Once things stabilize, there will be higher-end goods!" Stans said seriously, but he was a little puzzled. He had sold quite a few goods, so why was Chen Haonan so focused on quality?

"I'm a man of my word! If you do this again..." With that, Chan Ho-nam angrily threw the truth-telling stick in his hand to the ground, then stood up and crushed it into dust: "...we don't want a single gram!"

at the same time.

Inside the Ministry of State Security's monitoring room, the monitors were watching the live broadcast of Stans and Chan Ho-nam.

"I have to say... Xiao Liu is really getting into character. He's wasted not being an actor." The analyst exclaimed sincerely, "He really does have that Dong Shu vibe!"

"Xiao Liu should be grateful to have received such a safe mission... This guy named Stans doesn't have much modern common sense, but we can't be careless. We can tell that from the fact that Stans didn't let Xiao Liu join the cult."

"Tell the border guards to cooperate, act naturally, and don't let Stans notice anything amiss..."

All the truths that Stans sold in Shangqiu were acquired by the research institute, which greatly accelerated the institute's research progress on truths. Due to the supply shortage, they even had to open a back door to allow Stans to send in more truths.

However, the biggest problem is purification, which requires the help of the cult. The rabbit is very grateful for the cult's help and plans to send it a Dongfeng Express in the future.

"Don't worry, Master! Leave it to me. I'll make sure to take care of this Stans perfectly."

Chapter 18 is all a routine

Time: 23:47

Location: Forest area along the border of Shangqiu.

As night falls, because Mingrui has no moon, the planet's surface is illuminated only by starlight.

Under the cover of night, Chan Ho-nam, Chicken, and Stans headed towards the border.

Suddenly, Chan Ho-nam raised his right hand instinctively, wanting to clench his fist, but he controlled his instinct and waved his hand instead.

"Something's up! Take cover!"

The three of them immediately hid.

A short while later... a group of fully armed soldiers marched past in neat formation on the road ahead. Stans observed the soldiers from Shangqiu in front of him by the dim light of the night.

Even in the dead of night, the soldiers on patrol remained meticulous and showed no sign of being perfunctory. Most notably, the glasses they wore on their faces seemed to have some special function.

After they had all left, Li Haonan gestured for Stans to get up.

"Quick, quick, according to the intelligence... we have a thirty-minute window..." Chen Haonan gestured for Stans to follow, and the group hurried towards the location agreed upon with the cult: "...Stans, have you arranged things with your people? I don't want any accidents to happen!"

"Don't worry, Chan Ho-nam! You can trust me to handle things!"

"Hmm..." Chan Ho-nam nodded noncommittally.

After the three arrived at the designated location, Chen Haonan glanced at his watch: 0130. In the upper right corner of the watch, an icon representing data exchange was flashing... The watch exchanged data with the airborne base station in the sky, serving as a temporary GPS before BeiDou was launched.

In the sky, a Wing Loong drone was silently monitoring the three people. The command center in Shangqiu was also coordinating to avoid any misunderstandings. Soon, six heat sources were detected on the Wing Loong drone's electro-optical sphere.

In the forest, special forces soldiers, blending seamlessly into the trees, set up sniper rifles to observe these uninvited guests.

??

The Order

??

Ten minutes later, a strange bird call suddenly rang out. Chen Haonan narrowed his eyes and, taking advantage of Stans's inattention, pressed the record button on his wristwatch... Stans also made a bird call, and the two called out a few times to confirm their identities.

After confirming that there was nothing unusual, several figures appeared in the distance and walked quickly toward the three of them.

Soon, several members of the cult approached Chan Ho-nam and Chicken, scrutinizing them with a critical eye.

"Stans, are they reliable?"

"Don't worry, they are friends of the Order." Stans reassured him, after all, the enemy of my enemy is my friend, and the fact that Chen Haonan was wanted by Shangqiu meant that Chen Haonan could still be trusted.

The cult member nodded, then placed the package he had been carrying on the ground and opened it, revealing a deep red container: "High-purity Truth. As agreed, the price is three times that of the previous goods..."

Chan Ho-nam glanced at Chicken, who coldly looked at the group of cult members, then put down the bag full of Mira that he was carrying on his back and opened it.

Seeing Mira in the bag, the cult's deliveryman nodded, and his men pushed the bag over, with Pheasant also pushing Mira over.

Cash on delivery.

"Okay, one month from now, we'll get the specific time and place later..." the cult's contact said before preparing to leave.

"Wait!" Chan Ho-nam called out to the cult's contact who was about to leave.

"What? You have something else to say!" The cult's contact looked at Chan Ho-nam with an unfriendly expression. "Speak quickly!"

"This little bit of goods isn't quite enough. I wonder if the cult could sell us the production formula for Truth?" Chen Haonan asked in a deep voice. "Money isn't a problem. What we lack is the goods. The market size in the Abyss Sea is beyond your imagination!"

"Ok?"

The cult's contact looked at the man from Shangqiu in astonishment. Even Stans was speechless. He wanted the production formula for Truth from the cult? This was the cult's core secret!

"The Order's truth? It's far from enough for us to sell. We plan to sell our truth to the Abyss Sea. With your limited output... forgive my bluntness, it's a drop in the ocean..."

A greedy expression appeared on Chen Haonan's face, and his eyes turned bloodshot as he said:

"...No one dislikes Mira, and I'm no exception. As long as you hand over the production formula to me, I, Chen Haonan, guarantee with my life and fortune that I will hire professional researchers to purify the Truth and reduce its side effects!"

"Are you kidding me? Setting up a production line in Shangqiu? Do you think we're not going to die any faster?"

Stans looked at Chan Ho-nam with the eyes of someone looking at a madman. After the cult's branch was destroyed in Shangqiu, the relationship between the two had reached the point of no return.

“Stans, you don’t understand. There’s an old saying in the Abyss Sea: the most dangerous place is the safest place!”

I will establish a production line for "Truth" in Shangqiu under the name of the research institute, claiming it's for developing health supplements. After all, I'm from Shangqiu, and no one knows Shangqiu better than me! And nobody wants to turn down money!

The cult's contact and Stans exchanged a hesitant glance. What Chen Haonan said was very...constructive and very attractive! Production volume had always been a major concern for the cult.

"We cannot make a decision on this."

“It’s alright, here you go…” Chen Haonan took out a stack of paper offer documents from his pocket and handed them to the cult’s contact person: “…This is the plan I made, please give it to the cult’s higher-ups.”

The contact, looking bewildered, took the plan and tucked it into his pocket: "Time's up, we need to leave. Stans, be careful while you're infiltrating! Don't get discovered!"

"Don't worry!" Stans nodded seriously.

After watching the contact leave, Stans looked coldly at Chan Ho-nam: "Why didn't you tell me your plan beforehand! What do you mean by this?!"

"Heh~ Stans, didn't you also have something to hold back?" Chen Haonan took out a deep red pill from the package and played with it in his hand: "Don't worry, you're after power, I'm after money, I just want to make more money."

Stans's face contorted with rage as he weighed the consequences of falling out with Chan Ho-nam. Finally, he let out a long sigh: "Chan Ho-nam, I don't want this to happen again!"

"Don't worry, Stans, there won't be a next time!" After saying that, Chen Haonan tossed a cell phone to Stans: "Your cult's communication method is too inefficient. Next time we'll use cell phones to communicate. It would be even better if the cult used cell phones too."

Stans took the phone and glanced at it. He knew what a phone was; it was a convenient and quick way to make contact. He put it in his pocket.

"Let's go, the patrol is coming soon!"
