"So, you're saying you can get it, right?"
Luo Qing's voice was calm. He had a wealth of knowledge from his previous life, and if combined with the real-world dreams he experienced, extracting and utilizing this knowledge could prove immensely useful.
"I can, of course, but the price..."
Dori rubbed her hands together eagerly. The device for extracting canned knowledge was tightly controlled by the Akademiya, making it nearly impossible for ordinary people to access. However, someone as well-connected and resourceful as Dori had her ways.
"You don't need to worry about that."
Luo Qing casually pulled a bank check emblazoned with the insignia of the Northland Bank from his pocket and handed it to Dori.
"Write whatever amount you want. I won't stop you."
"Huh?"
Dori was momentarily stunned.
She took a step back, giving Luo Qing a once-over.
While his appearance was decent, the wind discipline officer uniform he wore hardly screamed "wealthy elite." Yet here he was, offering such a grand gesture.
"Northland Bank..."
Dori accepted the gilded check and held it up to the sunlight, inspecting it carefully.
Having done business with Snezhnayan merchants from time to time, she was familiar with Northland Bank checks. Only an elite few had access to these blank checks, allowing the holder to fill in any amount.
And this one didn't seem fake.
Is this guy really a wind discipline officer?
"Well then, rest assured, customer! My prices are always fair and reasonable—I guarantee you'll get your money's worth!"
Grinning, Dori tucked the check into her pocket.
"When can I expect the device?" Luo Qing asked offhandedly, indifferent to how many zeros Dori might add to the check.
As an operative, his funds were astronomical; even if he ran out, he could always apply for more from headquarters. Mora was the least of his concerns.
After all, earning mora wasn't his responsibility...
Why should he worry?
"This kind of thing is under tight scrutiny by the wind discipline officers. How about this—give me your address, and I'll deliver it to you late tonight. Does that work?"
Dori's face lit up with her trademark business smile. She had always favored generous customers.
"By the way, may I have your name? I'm Dori, and there's nothing in Sumeru I can't procure. If you ever need anything else, feel free to find me~."
"We'll talk about that later," Luo Qing replied, jotting down an address and handing it to her.
The address was where he and Theresa were currently staying in Port Ormos—a modest one-bedroom suite.
"This inn, huh..."
Dori patted her chest with a confident grin. "Got it, customer. I'll have it delivered tonight—you can count on me!"
"Fine. See you tonight."
Luo Qing nodded and left the alley.
He trusted Dori's reliability. While she was undeniably a shrewd merchant, her reputation for fulfilling deals was solid.
He wasn't concerned about her running off with the check either. Without his approval, the bank wouldn't release a single mora.
And if she did try to flee...
She'd face a little punishment.

Emerging from the alley, Luo Qing glanced toward the direction he had parted ways with Theresa.
To his mild exasperation, he saw her standing by the riverside, holding two cups of milk tea—one in her hand and the other dangling by her side. Clearly, she hadn't taken his instructions seriously and had gone to a milk tea shop instead.
She stood there aimlessly, pouting slightly, her violet eyes gazing around in
"I walked around, but I couldn't find the person you described... and then I got hungry..."
"..."
"You're not going to drink it?"
Seeing that Luo Qing hadn't taken the milk tea, Theresa peeked up at him, looking sheepish.
"Next time we're on a mission, don't go buying random things."
Luo Qing finally accepted the milk tea, though his expression remained stern.
"Hehe, got it, my lord!"
Relieved that he hadn't scolded her, Theresa broke into a grin.
In a burst of boldness, she looped her arm around his.
"So, my lord, what's next?"
"I've already met the person. We'll head back to the inn to rest and wait for the delivery tonight. Once we get the goods, we'll leave."
"Back to rest? Sounds great!"
Theresa's thoughts drifted to the inn's large, comfortable double bed.
Her heart fluttered with excitement.
Her chance had finally come!
