Chapter 71 - Self-Rescue Manual of a Villainess

Chapter 071: Miao Luo There is always a brave man under great rewards, and White Wolf's methods were indeed simple. As he himself had said, the people of the Philo district were inherently different from those in other places. This place was rife with poverty and oppression, making everyone here desire wealth and stability in such an environment. The Philo district, abandoned by the official of Tianzhou city, had a distorted environment. Under such a long-term distortion, the people here were inevitably shrouded in a pathological atmosphere - synonymous with crime and congregation. No people loved to band together more than the locals of the Philo district - you simply couldn't survive in the Philo district without being part of a group. Under such high-pressure circumstances, the people of the Philo district worshipped power and wealth. Wealth could solve their problems of food and clothing, while strong power could enable them to enjoy the wealth without worries. White Wolf's strategy under the condition of heavy rewards was nothing but selecting the desperadoes who would do anything for money, and then giving them high rewards. After all, these desperadoes had only themselves and would do anything with a desperation that risked their lives. White Wolf, as a military officer, naturally preferred such lackeys. Nan Yin may not be aware of the other places, but the Philo district was never short of such desperadoes; they were abundant in the streets. As for the issue of loyalty - these desperadoes revered the law of the jungle where the strong prey on the weak, and Fuhu Zhengsi and White Wolf who single-handedly dealt with a gang faction certainly fit the image of a "strong person" in these desperados’ hearts. In short, unless someone stronger than White Wolf and Fuhu Zhengsi appeared, these desperadoes could still be used. But this is certainly not a long-term solution. In Nan Yin's view, such desperadoes weren’t conformed to stability and certainly represented more of a forced act of strength. And what Nan Yin needed, wasn't a thug who only knew violence but qualified subordinates. "Let's do this, White Wolf. You can select fifty thugs to train first according to your plan. My only request is that these thugs, when fired upon, won't turn tail and run." Nan Yin turned her head and spoke indifferently. White Wolf understood Nan Yin's intention. Before everything settled down, these thugs were just cannon fodder for him - of course, they also belonged to the lady. "Of course, to maintain our plan, relying solely on these fifty thugs will not be enough. Therefore, I need you to select ten more people from your town." "These ten people I am prepared to give a heavy responsibility. It doesn't matter if they are male or female, and they don't necessarily have to be physically strong. This task is also handed to you." Nan Yin naturally referred to the previously mentioned Basel slaves. She wanted to start training her own action team now and the best source of manpower currently was the helpless slaves. After all, the best people to control are those who are helpless and have families to look after. Upon hearing this, White Wolf immediately nodded. The townsmen from Basel were unemployed at this time, and the fact that their lady was willing to use them was a good thing in White Wolf's view. There was no reason for him to disagree. "Very well, continue according to the plan. Once the ten people are selected, inform me, and I will personally train them." Having said that, Nan Yin left. She trusted the abilities of Fuhu Zhengsi and White Wolf to handle things here without a problem. As for herself, there was something else she needed to do. And this matter was indeed small - it was to go to the central plaza of the Philo district to quit her job. Yes, to quit the job left to her by the original body. As mentioned before, before Nan Yin crossed over, the original body had already started repaying the hundreds of thousands of debt. After all, the total debt was much more than the two hundred thousand left when Nan Yin took over. The reason why only this much was left was naturally because of the original body's earnings from her work in increments. In the central plaza of the Philo district, there was a flower and cake shop. The original body had been working there since the first grade, helping out every weekday night during the school term and practically every day during the long holidays. Including the time the original body had spent messing around, Nan Yin had been working at this cake shop for nearly six years. The cake shop's manager was a local fox-woman from Tianzhou city named Miao Luo, a very kind person who had taken care of the original body many times in these six years. The background of this Miao Luo was also not small. She was the mother of Miao Xin who had been helping Nan Yin, and also the wife to Chen Yi, who had been treating Nan Yin as an adopted daughter. As said before, Miao Xin, serving as a police officer in the Philo district, always took good care of Nan Yin, often taking her to her mother's cake shop. At that time, Miao Xin was always trying to find a decent job for Nan Yin - this is how the cake shop job came about. Now that Nan Yin had her own business, and since she wasn't particularly interested in waiting tables, it was necessary for her to quit the job. Nan Yin had just crossed over a while ago and hadn't thought about going to work yet, and Miao Luo hadn't urged her - until today when she notified Nan Yin to go to the shop to check in. Coincidentally, Nan Yin had a favor to ask of this aunt Miao Luo, so she took advantage of this opportunity to ask while she was quitting her job. ...... After hailing a taxi, Nan Yin finally arrived at the cake shop before seven o'clock in the evening. "Welcome~" As soon as she entered the door, Nan Yin heard the boss's sluggish voice. "Eh? It's our little cutie Nan Yin? Why are you here today? Have you finished your homework yet?" Once Miao Luo recognized who it was, a smile appeared on her face, having recognized the completely transformed Nan Yin at a glance. "Sister Miao, did you forget that I've dropped out of school? I'm here to help." Nan Yin bowed lightly with a smile, not mentioning her resignation first, but quickly put on the working apron of the cake shop as there were no customers. Miao Luo looked at the silvery-haired young girl whose aura had changed significantly, her fox eyes squinted gently, and her tail swayed slightly behind her. Miao Luo adjusted her fox ears, then took a bag of cherry cake and handed it to Nan Yin: "Eat it quickly, I just made it for that guy Chen Yi today, you're lucky to have caught it." "Thank you, sister Miao...speaking of which, is brother Chen here today?" Nan Yin took the cake and asked curiously. "He is here~ He finally had a day off today, so I dragged him over to help. But even if he's here, he's still hiding inside reading documents, you see, isn't he coming out?" Miao Luo said, pointing to Nan Yin's back. A man dressed in a police platoon leader's uniform, holding a cup of coffee, walked out from behind Nan Yin. It was none other than Chen Yi, who she had just met a while ago. "Good evening, Brother Chen." Nan Yin greeted Chen Yi with a soft laugh. "Yo, it's Nan Yin. I haven't seen you these days. You've got to taste the cherry cake your sister Miao made today." Chen Yi handed the coffee in his hand to Miao Luo, greeting Nan Yin with a smile. "Brother Chen must have been busy these days? I've seen the news." Nan Yin asked with a laugh. "Haha, in Tianzhou city, it's rare that a day goes by without a case. But today, Nan Yin, would you like to try this top-grade Longjing tea I bought?" Chen Yi took a bag of tea leaves out from his ability space. "This is a good thing I got from the bureau chief."
