Kono Tomou opened the small door next to the stairwell, revealing a complete set of network cable interfaces, four of which corresponded to four ports.
701, 702, 703, and 704.
Below each port was a row of small characters.
This was an optimization measure to prevent disputes arising from fluctuations in people's home networks.
There would be no situation of "others occupying" a port.
He skillfully unplugged all four network cables, then pulled out his own network cable, one end of which was already connected to his laptop, and began inserting the other end into the first port.
Fujiwara Shunsui and Kojima Bin stood behind him like private bodyguards.
Five minutes after the first interface connected successfully, Kono Tomou confirmed the IP, and it was not the right one!
Then, five minutes after the second interface connected, Kono Tomou reconfirmed the IP, and it was not the right one either.
Kono Tomou skillfully reinserted the network cables he had pulled out back into their original positions in order.
Next, Kono Tomou inserted his cable into the third port.
Three minutes later,
While Kono Tomou was still carefully sifting through the data, the three of them heard a door open, and then they all turned their gaze in that direction.
Nakamura Aoi had just walked out of the door of 703.
She instinctively looked in their direction.
But when Nakamura Aoi saw Fujiwara Shunsui and his group standing near the network interface in the stairwell, she immediately panicked.
She didn't even greet Fujiwara Shunsui.
With just a glance, she immediately turned her head and slammed the door shut with a "bang!"
It was as if she had never appeared at all.
Seeing her reaction,
Fujiwara Shunsui was almost certain that the person who had been peeking at him was Nakamura Aoi!
Just then,
Kono Tomou, at his "workstation," could no longer contain his excitement: "Found it, found it! It's the people in 703!"
Seeing that the IP address displayed on his computer was completely consistent with the results he had painstakingly found earlier,
He finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Because before coming, he had some understanding of Kojima Bin's background.
Coupled with Kojima Bin's respectful attitude towards the tall man in front of him, the other person's status must also be quite high!
Working for someone of this caliber always brings a bit of panic and tension.
Fortunately, this matter was successfully completed!
Kojima Bin stood in a corner, silently clenching his fists, overjoyed. He hadn't even expected this matter to be handled so simply and smoothly!
Almost at the same time,
Fujiwara Shunsui confirmed the target.
[system prompt]
[side quest: The Pleasure of Peeking - Completed]
[Congratulations, Host, for successfully completing the quest and finding the peeker behind the 'camera' - Nakamura Aoi!]
[Quest Reward: 5 free attribute points!]
Upon seeing this quest prompt, Fujiwara Shunsui first felt a surge of joy, then he noticed something was amiss.
[Host, would you like to proceed with the next side quest?]
[Yes]
If Fujiwara Shunsui had even a moment of hesitation now, it would be disrespectful to himself. After all, he had just gained 5 free attribute points, which made him very happy, not to mention that a new [side quest] could be triggered. There was no way he could refuse!
[side quest - The Obsessive Nakamura Aoi]
[Nakamura Aoi's life seems like a huge deception. Her upbringing has created her obsessive personality. Please approach her, understand her, and help her escape her'self-imposed predicament' to start a new life.]
[Quest Reward: Unknown]
Fujiwara Shunsui had now almost mastered the "operating rules" of the System. Basically, anyone or anything that could be related to him had the potential to develop into someone else's "life mentor."
Of course, this was not the kind of "mentor" he defined for Miyaharuni Kiko, but a "life mentor" in the true sense, helping others solve life's dilemmas and overcome difficulties.
With the quest reward in hand and a new quest appearing, Fujiwara Shunsui felt it was necessary to interact with this "obsessive good girl"!
But the next steps wouldn't require the involvement of the two people beside him.
Fujiwara Shunsui turned his head and said to Kojima Bin:
"You did a very good job with this matter. I already have the answer in my heart. You should take Tomou home to rest first. As for the remuneration, I will have Taro contact you later. Thank you for your hard work!"
Hearing that Fujiwara Shunsui wanted to send him away, Kojima Bin thought it was because the other party was considering his physical condition, so he quickly interjected:
"It is our honor to serve Master Harumizu, and we do not need any reward! Master Harumizu, if there is anything inconvenient for you to handle personally in the future, I will take care of it, or even..."
A hint of ruthlessness flashed in Kojima Bin's eyes. He didn't want to miss any opportunity to climb higher.
However, he completely misjudged Fujiwara Shunsui's true thoughts.
Harumizu looked at Kojima Bin with some helplessness. For a moment, he didn't know whether to like or dislike Kojima Bin's personality.
To say he liked him, but Kojima Bin often made decisions that overstepped his authority.
To say he disliked him, Kojima Bin's ambition was something every leader wanted to see.
More importantly,
They were a Syndicate, they were the Yakuza, and they needed people like Kojima Bin who dared to fight, charge, and get things done!
Fujiwara Shunsui pondered for a moment, then let out a thoughtful sound:
"Hmm..."
He immediately added:
"Don't refuse the remuneration. One part is to thank Kono, and the other is to reward you. The Sankou-gumi always has clear rewards and punishments, and I don't want rumors spreading that people who work for our Sankou-gumi don't get paid."
When Kono Tomou heard the words "Sankou-gumi," his eyes clearly lit up.
He knew that Kojima Bin might have a Syndicate background, but that was the Sankou-gumi!
The largest Syndicate in Tokyo, and even all of Japan!
If he could work for such a big boss, his own status would naturally rise accordingly.
Hearing Fujiwara Shunsui say that, Kojima Bin could only nod!
Then Fujiwara Shunsui continued to add:
"I know the person in 703. Since it has been confirmed that someone from 703 infiltrated the community's surveillance cameras, I think some things I should handle alone. You go home and rest!"
At this point, Fujiwara Shunsui was afraid that Kojima Bin would once again act like he was on a caffeine high and pledge his loyalty, so he quickly added:
"I saw everything you did today, but you also need to take care of your health, okay!"
Kojima Bin was about to speak but was cut off by Fujiwara Shunsui's words.
In the end, he could only nod, patted Kono Tomou's arm, and motioned for the two of them to leave together.
Then Fujiwara Shunsui watched the two of them get into the elevator.
"Ding-dong—"
The elevator doors closed.
At this moment, Fujiwara Shunsui was the only one left on the seventh floor.
Just then, the door of 703 slowly opened a crack, and then half a body emerged from it. Nakamura Aoi was peeking out, and she happened to make eye contact with Fujiwara Shunsui!
"Bang—"
"Click"
Nakamura Aoi slammed her door shut again, and with the sound of a lock, she locked herself inside her home!
