Dis Mendi's news made Moyu set a clear goal.
However, at the moment, he only wanted to quickly challenge Bisiji to test the results of his month-long training and to recognize his own level.
He took out his phone and dialed Bisiji's number, but heard the prompt that the other party was powered off.
"This..."
Moyu felt a bit disappointed.
Recalling Bisiji's dispirited appearance, it seemed that it wouldn't work today.
"I'm hungry."
Looking up at the various neon lights on the street, Moyu turned to call Sambika's number.
He was very hungry now, but he had no money.
A moment later.
Click, the call was connected.
"Hello."
Sambika's easily recognizable pleasant voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Sambika."
Moyu held the phone to his ear, looking straight ahead, his eyes reflecting the unique glitter of the bustling city, and said, "It's Moyu, do you remember me?"
"Ah."
Hearing Moyu's voice, Sambika first let out a soft exclamation, then said in a light tone, "Moyu, you finally got a phone."
"What?"
Moyu was a bit stunned, not understanding.
But he didn't delve into Sambika's words and instead straightforwardly mentioned the payment.
"Actually, it's about the payment for escorting you to Shwadani City last time. I think it's time to settle it."
"Okay, sure."
Sambika sighed in relief and said softly, "You only left me your number back then, but you never contacted me, which made me a bit uneasy."
"Because various things happened, so..."
Moyu casually brushed it off.
He couldn't say that he and Bisiji stayed in a hotel room for a month without going out.
However, from Sambika's words, he could tell that she was the type who would feel uncomfortable until she repaid a debt.
She was also the type who would consider others' feelings.
A girl with such a likable personality and abilities was worth getting to know better.
Mainly because, in the Hunter world, where "more people means more power," a lone wanderer wouldn't get far.
Even someone with top-tier talent like Gon needed the assistance of various talents on his journey to find what he wanted.
So, during his journey, Gon would actively get to know various "like-minded" people and wouldn't treat non-Nen users any differently.
In fact, the non-Nen users from various fields whom Gon had befriended were still providing him with continuous help to this day.
This also demonstrated the importance of "teams" in the Hunter world.
Of course, someone like Don Freeccs was an exception.
Based on this understanding, Moyu never thought about being a lone wanderer.
"Okay, I understand."
Sambika didn't press Moyu on why he only got a phone after a month and changed the topic to the main issue: "About the payment..."
"Let's talk about it when we meet."
"Okay, where are you now, Moyu?"
"Wait, let me check."
Moyu quickly scanned his surroundings and noticed a shop two meters away with a sign that read "Send You Away."
What kind of shop is this?
A funeral service?
"..."
After a brief silence, Moyu reported his location to the phone: "I'm in front of a shop called 'Send You Away.'"
"Oh, I know where that is, I'll come right over."
The unique name of the shop helped Sambika quickly pinpoint the location.
"Okay."
Moyu responded.
The call ended.
Moyu stood aside waiting for Sambika to arrive.
Half an hour later.
Sambika arrived at Moyu's location.
Her attire, as always, was completely covered, with only a pair of beautiful black eyes visible.
"Moyu..."
She ran up to Moyu and apologized habitually, "Sorry, did I keep you waiting?"
"No, it's fine."
Moyu waved his hand.
Although they hadn't spent much time together, he had gotten used to some of Sambika's behaviors.
Sambika looked at Moyu and said softly, "We didn't agree on the payment amount back then, so... just tell me a number, and whether you want it transferred or in cash."
Afraid of wasting Moyu's time, she brought up the main issue as soon as they met.
"This isn't urgent, have you eaten?"
Moyu didn't respond to Sambika's words and instead asked.
Sambika was slightly taken aback and shook her head, "Not yet."
Due to the nature of her work, she sometimes had to stay in the lab for a whole day, making irregular meals inevitable, and she often went without food for a whole day.
Moyu suggested, "Let's find a place to eat first."
He felt even hungrier now.
He wasn't sure if it was because he was growing or because of the intense training this month.
He was getting hungry more easily and his appetite was getting bigger.
"Okay."
Sambika didn't refuse.
Moyu immediately found a decent-looking restaurant on the street, went straight to a private room, and ordered enough food for ten people.
After quickly filling his stomach, Moyu felt much better.
"Escorting you to Shwadani City wasn't too difficult, so just give me whatever you think is appropriate."
After the meal, Moyu left the pricing of the payment to Sambika.
He had taken on the mission voluntarily, partly because Liz had wanted to help Sambika but couldn't, and partly because he wanted to fight more Nen users.
The journey only involved taking down one armed helicopter.
Apart from that, there were no other battles, and the mission was completed smoothly.
Moyu felt the mission was too easy and, not knowing the market rate, left the pricing to Sambika.
"Okay."
Seeing Moyu's words, Sambika didn't think much and said without hesitation, "Can 50 million Jenny be okay?"
This amount was her account balance.
Clearly, her thoughts were completely different from Moyu's.
She didn't consider the difficulty of the escort mission but simply thought that the escort mission played a significant role in the "g2" incident, so she planned to give all her savings as payment.
"Sure."
Moyu didn't know that the amount this naive girl quoted was all her savings, and he nodded in agreement.
Seeing Moyu agree to the price, Sambika sighed in relief and then pushed a bank card to Moyu, saying softly,
"The money is on the card. I've set it up for password-free withdrawal. If you want to set a password, you can do it at the nearest ATM."
"Pretty convenient."
Moyu glanced at the bank card and casually asked, "How's the g2 situation?"
"The Association submitted a report to the Sahertah Union to clarify the situation. After that, the Sahertah Union intervened and easily resolved the issue, and began to reassess the regulations related to the legalization of g-drugs."
Sambika lowered her head and said in a steady tone, "However, although the crackdown was smooth, some g2 still found its way into the underground world."
"I see..."
Moyu nodded slightly at her words.
He thought g2 was a good thing, but its harmful effects were indeed significant.
"By the way, do you need Bisiji's contact code? You probably want to contact Bisiji quickly to settle the payment, right?"
Thinking that Sambika might be worried about not being able to pay quickly, Moyu kindly asked before leaving.
"Ah..."
Hearing this, Sambika couldn't help but slowly widen her eyes.
She had forgotten that Moyu and Bisiji were not a team that took the mission together but had taken her mission separately.
This meant the payment had to be settled separately, but...
She frowned and looked at the bank card in front of Moyu with difficulty.
That was all her savings...
"What's wrong?"
Sambika's strange reaction made Moyu confused again.
