When the group stepped out of the Hollow's exit, located in a remote corner of New Eridu, a silver-white sedan was already waiting for them.
Seeing the four people emerge from the Hollow, the lightly dressed, pink-haired girl in the driver's seat quickly rushed out: "Why did it take so long? I thought something had happened to you!"
Then, she was greatly surprised: "Huh, why are there two extra people? Billy, who is that on your shoulder? And what's the deal with this little sister in ancient clothes?"
However, Hu Tao did not immediately answer her question. At this moment, only two words filled her mind:
"So big."
Seeing Hu Tao's stunned expression, Amber looked at her worriedly.
Then, Amber realized the reason for her daze, and her face flushed slightly. She stepped forward to introduce them: "Ahem, let me introduce you. This is Nicole, the boss of the Cunning Rabbit House agency where I currently work, whom I just mentioned to you."
Next, Amber turned to Nicole and briefly explained what had just happened.
As Amber narrated, Nicole's expression went from confusion to shock, and finally turned into immense excitement: "Oh yeah! Today must be our payday! I'll go contact Conrad on the Rope Net right now!"
Next, she took a picture of Edmund, then excitedly ran to the side, her fingers moving so fast they left afterimages.
Taking this opportunity, Hu Tao asked, "What is the Rope Net?"
Amber replied, "In New Eridu, the private exploration of Hollows is actually not permitted."
"However, due to the rich rewards, there is still a massive grey community engaged in related professions. The most common among them are the Tunnel Robbers and the 'Ropemakers' who guide them."
"And the most common communication platform among this grey community is the 'Rope Net'."
Hu Tao suddenly understood: "Oh, so you guys are actually outlaws?"
Amber: "...(

Just then, Nicole also finished communicating and walked over, saying, "Conrad said it's inconvenient for him to come directly, so he has sent a car to pick us up."
Then, she leaned close to Hu Tao, her face showing three parts curiosity, three parts friendliness, and four parts avarice: "Little Sister Hu Tao, let's discuss the reward first!"
"Look, although Edmund's body was 'transformed' back by you, if they hadn't guided you there, and if Billy hadn't pointed it out in time, wouldn't this money have flown away? So..."
Hu Tao: "So?"
"How about nine for us, and one for you?"
Hu Tao: (●—●)?
Seeing this, Amber quickly stepped in to mediate: "Hu Tao, don't mind her, Boss Nicole... she's just a little fond of money."
But Hu Tao smiled: "It's fine."
Immediately, she cleared her throat, adopted her serious business-negotiating posture, and began a "friendly" tug-of-war with Nicole... This slightly surprised the other three, who hadn't expected that this lively girl's demeanor, when serious, was in no way inferior to Nicole, who had been struggling in society for many years.
Finally—
"Sixty-forty split, deal!"
Nicole friendly clasped Hu Tao's hand: "Amazing, little sister! You're the first person who could 'debate' with me for this long. From now on, you are my friend, Nicole's friend."
Hu Tao also friendly clasped her hand: "Hehe, you flatter me, you flatter me."
Just then, a black commercial vehicle slowly drove up.
The car door opened, and a man in a crisp suit stepped out, respectfully saying to the group: "Everyone, please get in. Mr. Conrad is already waiting for you at his Private Residence."
Everyone got into the car one by one. The interior was spacious and luxuriously decorated. Hu Tao looked around curiously, full of interest in this futuristic means of transport.
Everyone was a little excited along the way, as the haul this time was considerable.
After the vehicle entered the spacious front yard of Conrad's Private Villa, a haggard-looking middle-aged man quickly walked out of the villa, surrounded by several attendants.
As soon as he saw the body being carried down by several people, he burst into tears: "My son—!"
Conrad's sorrowful cries immediately echoed throughout the yard.
After crying for a good while, he slowly raised his head and looked at everyone, his eyes full of gratitude: "Thank you all for finding my son's remains so he can return to his roots. I must hold a grand funeral for him!"
At this moment, Hu Tao's eyes lit up: Did he just mention "funeral"?
