Chapter 236: Finding the Bottom
"Subscribe to the newspaper!"
After waiting in line for a long time at the newspaper subscription window of the post office, Leon finally managed to squeeze to the service desk. After handing the list of newspapers and periodicals he had copied in advance to the radio operator, he spoke very quickly:
"All of these must be renewed, for a maximum of two weeks, newspapers must be double-edition, popular entertainment magazines and political and business quality magazines must be renewed, and magazines must be platinum editions with special features and supplements!"
"Okay, I'll do it for you!"
After taking the subscription form filled out by Lyon and glancing at the long list of newspaper and magazine names on it, the radio operator, who had just looked tired and a little indifferent during the service, suddenly smiled like a morning glory that had just bloomed.
According to the name of the newspaper on the order form, after dialing the counter for a while, the radio operator said with a smile:
"Sir, the total amount of money you need to pay for the renewal of these newspapers and magazines is 7 silver wheels and 9 copper wheels. Do you have a stamp collection card from our post office?
If you are an old customer of our bureau, according to the quantity of newspapers you order, you don’t need to queue up in the gift area to get the new stamp. I can stamp the new stamp for you directly.”
"Then trouble you."
After hearing what the radio operator said, Leon couldn't help but let out a long sigh, then took out a stack of stamp collection cards from the director's drawer and handed them to the radio operator through the small door on the side of the window.
The so-called stamp collection card is actually a disguised rebate given by various post offices and newspapers in order to retain old customers. After subscribing to a newspaper or magazine at the post office for the first time, you can receive a corresponding thin iron sheet. After that, every time you renew your subscription to a newspaper or magazine at the post office, a stamp can be pressed on the iron sheet by a machine.
Once the subscription period is long enough and a sufficient number of stamps are collected, the post office and newspaper will send corresponding gifts and renewal discount qualifications, or invite you to participate in special activities such as annual ceremonies and reading clubs for enthusiasts. These are exclusive benefits for big customers.
Under the dissatisfied gaze of the people in the long queue, the radio operator who was "licking the big customer" behind the window sill didn't even do his job. He directly moved a stamp pressing machine from under the table, put a stack of Lyon's stamp collection cards on it one by one, and started stamping.
After a while, after stamping all the stamp collection cards, the radio operator didn't even wipe the sweat off his face. He just handed over the stamp collection cards with a smile and reminded carefully:
"Sir, the three publications you subscribed to, Wine Traveler, The Sun Popular Edition, Quality Edition, and Beauty Focus, have been fully subscribed. You can go directly to the gift area to receive the gifts.
I just checked for you. The gift of [Wine Traveler] is a small bottle of specially selected Chardonnay dry white, and the gift of [Meili Focus] is the Meikou lingerie Meiyou card, which allows you to try on new lingerie in advance and enjoy a 30% discount on purchases.
As for the gift of [Sun Double Edition], it is a temporary pass that you can take to the Sun newspaper office across the street to visit the reporters and editors you are interested in and ask about some secret news that is not printed in the newspaper due to space or policy issues. "
"Thank you."
After getting the stamp collection card back from the radio operator, Leon, who had finally completed the "mission", couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. Then he followed the other party's instructions to the gift area and took away three stamp collection gifts.
Needless to say, the small bottle of wine and the underwear discount card must be taken back to the director. If I am not mistaken, she must have been thinking about these two things for a long time, otherwise she would not be in the headquarters for a meeting and specifically asked me to help her subscribe to newspapers.
But this pass...
Looking at the pass with a golden gear-shaped sun emblem on it, Lyon hesitated on the side of the street. Instead of getting on the public carriage, he walked towards the Sun newspaper office across the street.
In the past, Lyon had neither the money to subscribe to newspapers nor much interest in them. Even if he occasionally needed to know some news, he would just read other people's old newspapers. Naturally, there was no reporter who wanted to visit him.
However, when he flipped through the director's newspaper yesterday and found that she was cutting out embarrassing photos of herself, Leon saw a name under those reports about himself that made him want to visit.
Nicole Collins. If I remember correctly, the only person who didn't show up at the rebel meeting was named Nicole, and the old Owen couple who treated little Baggins as their own child, their last name was Collins, so...
Is it possible that the reporter who wrote several articles about him that were negative about him was the twelfth rebel?
Although he was very suspicious of the background of the Sun reporter, according to Lyon's original habit, he would naturally play it safe and wait for the director or senior Emma to come back.
However, now that I have the pass granted by the stamp collecting card, I have a reasonable excuse for investigation, and I have the double protection of the sheep's heart and the director's hair, so there is no harm in going to check it out in advance?
……
"Huh... You almost suffocated me to death during these days of being undercover!"
After Leon took it out of the small mirror and put it into the shopping bag in his hand, the black goat, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but complain:
"Isn't the undercover mission over? Why are you still stuffing me into that broken mirror? Can't you just carry me like before?"
Let me tell you, your broken mirror is really depressing. Apart from that stupid heart that no one cares about, there is just a stupid dog. There is not even a living thing that can chat with us! It is too boring to stay in there!'
"Okay, I'll try to carry you more often in the future."
Although the Black Goat is not a good person, as a teammate who fought side by side with Lyon in the past and helped him through the most dangerous "newbie period", he still has some status in Lyon's heart, so there is certainly no need to refuse such a small request.
After getting Leon's promise, the Black Goat, who was holding back from returning to the Mirror World, suddenly felt very happy. After laughing twice, he took the initiative to ask, which was rare:
"Kid, just tell me, whose soul do you want me to help you see this time?"
Hmm? In the past, although Black Goat cooperated, he always wanted this and that, and was never so easy to talk to. It seems that he has been very depressed these days.
After looking thoughtfully at the Black Goat whose attitude had changed drastically, Leon showed his stamp card and pass to the guard at the Sun Newspaper and answered:
"It's a reporter named Nicole. I suspect she is the owner of the anomalous object of the rebels, so I plan to find out her background... The specific process is the same as before. After we find her, if she lies, you can remind me."
"Okay, leave it to us!"
Afraid that Leon would find it troublesome and throw him back into the barren mirror world, the Black Goat decided to show his own "value". He rarely exercised his subjective initiative and took the initiative to examine the souls within a one-kilometer radius.
'Um? '
After looking around, the black goat seemed to find something wrong. His expression changed drastically and he hurriedly urged:
'Quick! Take us back!'
