There were only two people in the office: me and Bai Haotian.

Bai Haotian had looked like a tomboy when we met before, but when we met this time, she actually wore a little makeup. Her outfit still kind of made her look like a boy, though.

Our two desks were facing each other and there was a thermos cup of brewed goji berry tea on the desk [1].

When I sat down, she sat opposite me. I looked at her and she looked at me. It was so awkward.

"What do you need me to do, Manager?" I asked her.

Bai Haotian was trembling a little and had to take a few deep breaths before she shook her head and said, "Just wait. We usually check the goods once a week and patrol the warehouse before getting off work."

"What do you usually do?" I looked at the numerous documents hanging on the wall, many of which were old. I flipped through some of them and found that many had traditional Chinese characters written on them.

Bai Haotian smiled and I quickly corrected my question, "What do you usually do here?"

Bai Haotian's face turned red and I sighed. I really wasn't good at communicating with little girls. I was too lazy to ask any more questions, so I turned on the computer in front of me which was very old. I didn't know who used it before, but the desktop background was a picture of me.

I was too lazy to pursue the matter, so I simply changed it and began the boring task of checking through the files on the computer. In addition to the numerous inventory documents, I saw a strange icon on the desktop. After clicking on it, I found that it was actually a storage system.

Although Warehouse Eleven's storage system was very old, it was still relatively easy to use. I began searching through the items inside. The codes, shelf numbers, and storage time of these items were all very clear, but I couldn't see the names of the items. When I clicked on the items, I could see very detailed records, but they were all encrypted.

It seemed that the warehouse managers didn't have full access to view specific information.

I was a little interested in this since I had always been full of curiosity. At the end of these columns, I saw that the names of the people who entered these items into the warehouse were all coded.

These coded names represented the big shots in the Nine Gates, but when I looked at them, I couldn't see any sort of pattern.

"You've been here for almost a year," I said to Bai Haotian. "Have you ever tried to figure out what these coded names stand for since you have so much downtime?"

"The Bai family is only responsible for managing the warehouse. As for the details regarding the warehouse, we can't ask questions."

"My grandfather said that all rules were meant to be broken," I said to her. "You're supposed to be curious at your age, yet you've been wasting your time here all year. Come on, don't tell me you really can't think of anything? Don't be afraid to share it. Even if you won't tell me what you've figured out, I'll definitely be able to find out on my own after a long time," I said lightly as I looked at the computer.

Bai Haotian looked at me and seemed to be debating with herself. I glanced at the flowers she had given me earlier, "Tell me and I'll invite you to dinner tonight."

"087323 is Zhang Da Fo Ye's number," Bai Haotian whispered to me.

I made a note of it on my cell phone and then opened the icon on the computer and searched for it. It turned out that Zhang Da Fo Ye really had a lot of things here.

I scanned through everything carefully and noticed a strange mark on several files. Zhang Da Fo Ye's storage directory had several items with a small * symbol on the labels.

"What does this asterisk symbol mean?" I asked Bai Haotian.

"This represents danger," Bai Haotian said. "These goods are very dangerous, so special people must be present when they enter or leave the warehouse."

"Then what do we do when we patrol? Won't we be in danger when we pass by? Or do the warehouse managers die often here and get replaced at any time?"

"The goods with asterisks aren't on the ground level, they're all underground," Bai Haotian said. "I'll show you what the real Warehouse Eleven looks like when we patrol the warehouse before getting off work."

I frowned. "Underground?"

Bai Haotian nodded. I looked at my watch. There were still fifteen minutes before I actually started work and I already wanted to run away.

When I thought about it, Wang Meng really didn't have it easy. I touched my forehead and opened Minesweeper.
