Chapter 851: 851
After she had jotted down everything important in the memorandum, she went back to sleep . As if a weight had been lifted off her shoulders, this time, she felt relieved and fell into a deep slumber . By the time she was awakened by Silas’s gentle light, nine hours had passed . After she woke up, she went on with her morning routine . She had her breakfast, took a hot bath, and changed into fresh clothes . When she was all done, she felt refreshed .
She took the memorandum and had a look . Suddenly, a bitter smile hopped onto the corner of her lips . Last night, when she was sleep-deprived, her mode of thinking seemed to have changed completely . When she was sober enough this morning, she instantly realized the most important problem .
If she wanted to settle each and every article in the memorandum, firstly, she had to shake off those little flies that kept pestering her . In this case, those flies were the personalities who had never once appeared from the dark and confronted her head-on .
It was not difficult on normal occasions, but with the checkpoint pocket dimension joining the mix, everything became complicated . Since her radius of action was pretty limited and there were only a few checkpoints around, it was easy for the personalities to keep track of her . So long as they deployed one person to wait for her at each checkpoint, they would definitely get to her .
Lin Sanjiu opened the checkpoint brochure she bought last time and put it beside the map . In the opposite direction of Black’s Market, which was almost half a continent away, there was another smaller-scale human settlement known as L’Orangerie . Perhaps because it was out of Mophead’s reach, he did not mark the checkpoints there in his brochure . However, Lin Sanjiu was confident that there must be checkpoints around L’Orangerie .
Judging from the terrain, L’Orangerie was situated in the center of a hill . If she parked Exodus between the sierra, she should be able to keep Exodus out of the public eye .
“Silas,” Lin Sanjiu said while she scanned all the maps into Exodus’ operating system, “After ten o’clock tonight, head to the target destination . Is that clear?”
“All right,” Silas responded softly . Soon after that, a three-dimensional map popped up from the operating station . A big, red “X” was hovering on top of her destination .
‘Let’s go to check-in now . ’
She had used up all of her [Mask] . After a few seconds of rumination, she decided not to buy any more [Mask] and go out with her true appearance . She took out several clothes from her card and put them on: a black tank top, a pair of cargo pants, and boots . Aside from the jacket to help her cope with the cold, she dressed in the same way as she did in Hyperthermal Hell .
“Screw it . I’m going out like this,” she explained to Mrs . Manas, “I can’t hide from them anyway . I don’t know how they do it, but they seem to be able to recognize me every single time . ”
“But that doesn’t mean you have to jump out and wave at them to let them know where you are . Do you know it’s like walking into the belly of a beast all by yourself?”
“Am I really that obvious?”
As Lin Sanjiu asked that question, she turned a half-circle in front of the mirror .
The reflection in the mirror was tall and slender but muscular . Every contour of her body was perfectly sculptured to maximize her physical function and to ensure stronger output . When she remained standing still, she resembled a statue that had been carved by a master sculptor . With a single flick of her muscle, she could release amazing speed and strength .
“Well, the more obvious it is, the better,” Lin Sanjiu laughed and exited the room . After she slid into a maglev pod, she continued, “Honestly, I actually plan to hold a sign which says ‘I’m Lin Sanjiu’, but you know—”
Even though she did not wear a [Mask], she was unflustered on the way to Black’s Market .

There was no one in front of the checkpoint . When Lin Sanjiu went near the electric pole, she had a hunch that somebody was watching her from behind . Then again, on second thought, this might be an illusion created by her brain since she knew that Luther’s personalities were secretly following her .
“Won’t they feel surprised to see that I’m still alive?”
Lin Sanjiu took stock of her surroundings after she checked in . She did not know whether it was her appearance or the aura she exuded, but she always became the center of attraction whenever she went . Among the posthumans who walked by the electric pole, around three or four would scrutinize her .
It took her not more than a minute to finish the check-in, and she reckoned that she should give her opponent some more time to catch up with her .
After she left the checkpoint, she dug her hands into her pockets and began wandering around the street . Black’s Market was huge . Even though she had been here many times, there ought to be some areas that she had never stepped into before . As she sauntered around the market, something caught her attention . At the fringe of her vision, there was a tent which seemed to be a tea shop . The tables and chairs were all placed on the road outside of the tent, and there were many customers .
It was an excellent spot .
“Hey, boss!” Lin Sanjiu slightly frowned as she skimmed through the hand-written menu, “Give me a…erm, ‘Faint Light Of Wisdom’?”
‘What the hell is this?’

“Right away!” a girl with flushed cheeks responded quickly . Judging from how crowded the tent was, Lin Sanjiu thought she would have to wait for a while, but soon, a teapot appeared on the table in front of her .
“Will I become more intelligent after I consume this tea?” she asked skeptically .
The girl with red cheeks was stumped by the question for a second . She soon gave out a hearty laugh as she said, “Nope! It doesn’t have that kind of effect . This is just normal tea . ”
As she tried to hold back her giggle, she opened the lid . Peering into the pot, Lin Sanjiu could see five thoroughly soaked, brownish-green leaves circling on top of the liquid that should be tea .
“Take a sip of the tea, then swallow a leaf,” the girl advised, “Remember, don’t chew the leaf and just swallow it . You must consume both at the same time . ”
‘What a weird way to drink tea . . ’
Lin Sanjiu had a lot of questions in her mind, but before she could shoot any of her questions, somebody from the other side of the tent ordered “The Heart Of An Iron-Blooded Warrior” . The girl wiped her hands on her apron and then hurried away to attend to her customer . Her hands were empty when she was running, but by the time she reached the table of her customer, a teapot had appeared . Lin Sanjiu did not know where she pulled the teapot out from .
‘Since I’m here, I might as well enjoy some tea . ’

Lin Sanjiu stared skeptically at the tea leaves in the teapot . She realized that the leaves were circulating at a constant speed as if they were being controlled by some kind of machine . She turned away and glanced around . After that, she took a big gulp of tea and picked a leaf . She swallowed it, and the leaf immediately melted down her throat . It happened so fast that she did not know what had happened .
She continued to finish the pot of tea but did not see anyone suspicious .
“In that case,” Lin Sanjiu said as she pushed the teapot away and flashed a card out, “I should get down to actual business . ”
With a mental tug, the card in her hand turned into a Special Item—[Party B’s Designer] .
This was a Special Item that could customize a Special Item to the owner’s liking . It looked just like a normal form with a pen attached . There were several templates on top of the form . As “a stingy party, A”, Lin Sanjiu picked a template and then proceeded to fill in her requirements .
“Well, how about this?” She picked up a “Non-offensive, Household Goods Type template” and said, “This should do the job…”
