Chapter 018 Weird Resume
After leaving Flora's house, Su Ming went to the largest shopping mall nearby to buy a mobile phone.
You don’t need to bind your ID card to buy a mobile phone on this island. You don’t need to provide any proof to buy a mobile phone, just pay the money.
In addition to the mobile phone , Su Ming also bought a computer with the highest configuration available in the store and bought himself a set of clothes to wear when going out.
Although he was a gigolo, Su Ming had no guilt in doing so, because Xia Xiaoyu's income would never be fully consumed, and his expenses were not even a drop in the bucket for Xia Xiaoyu.
While shopping, Su Ming began to feel fortunate that the first person he met in this world was Xia Xiaoyu.
If he hadn't met him, he would probably have to sleep on the streets now.
After buying all the necessities, Su Ming immediately returned to the hotel and began to investigate Flora.
First, he planned to check Flora's resume. According to Xia Xiaoyu, aristocrats like Flora had many personal honors that were public on the Internet and could be checked by anyone.
Su Ming typed Flora's name into the browser search bar, and soon, Flora's personal profile appeared on the homepage.
[Name: Flora Osborne
Born on December 31, 2260 on Souris Island, she is the second daughter of Nodorak Osborn. In June 2279, she won the first round of the 37th Supernatural League.
Main honors: Champion of the 37th round of the Supernatural League
She appeared on the cover of Recovery magazine and was called the "Valkyrie of Mercy" by the media.
……】
Su Ming read all of Flora's information and found something fishy about her resume.
"There is indeed a problem."
Su Ming found that Flora's personal honors were too uneven.
The children of the nobility would start attending high-class banquets from a very young age. They would show up in various places without any low profile, so their honors and news would be left on the Internet since they were young, and could be traced and clearly checked.
Especially those heirs with special talents in the family, they are often surrounded by the flash lights of the media and news since they are old enough to understand, and grow up under the spotlight.
Whether they participate in gatherings, receive honors, improve their strength, or interact with others, everything can be found on the Internet, and news about the nobles never stops.
This reminded Su Ming of the melodramatic idol dramas about wealthy families in the old world. The two were quite similar, except that one was a fictional TV series and the other was a real reality.
The supernatural families in this world seem to attach great importance to external reputation.
This is true for the Osborn family and for other families as well. This seems to be a common rule that all supernatural families follow.
Perhaps for them, showing strength to the public is, to some extent, tantamount to consolidating their position in the aristocratic circle.
But Flora is an exception.
Flora's most dazzling achievement is winning a round of the Superpower League. However, the Superpower League is a competition with an extremely high mortality rate, and the Superpower Family will never allow family members to participate.
If they want to become famous, these families have marketing methods that are more professional and more effective than the Superpower League. They don't need to gamble their lives in that kind of competition.
But Flora went, and not only did she go, she also won the league championship with an unprecedented and amazing record of six injuries and one death!
No one in history has ever achieved such a record. In a life-and-death match, no one cares about the life or death of their opponent. All players have only one goal in mind, which is to win! To win the championship!
Only those who have absolute confidence in their own abilities and absolute control over the situation are qualified to dominate the field in such an almost arrogant way.
Flora is the first and currently the only one.
It was from that time that Flora became famous overnight, became a household name in a short period of time, and was named "the Valkyrie of Mercy" by Recovery magazine.
After she won the championship, news about Flora increased explosively... This was the first strange thing Su Ming discovered.
Digging deeper, it's easy to discover another oddity: Flora's childhood and youth before she won the title were a bit fishy.
Although there are many articles on the Internet that describe in great detail the various anecdotes and interesting events of Flora's childhood, a careful observation will reveal that these articles have no basis and are more like false information fabricated by the writers.
If you search all the public photos of the Osborne family on the Internet, you will find that Flora is rarely seen in these photos, and even if she is, she was taken recently.
Flora had never appeared in any photographs as a teenager, not even in family portraits, and the only family photo in which she appeared was taken quite recently.
Su Ming was not the first person to discover this matter. Others had already questioned the Osborne family.
The Osborn family explained that Flora was a super genius who had been placed high hopes on by her family since she was a child, so she began to receive top-secret training and had no contact with outsiders until recently when she made great progress in her training and appeared in the public eye.
The Osborne family's explanation is indeed self-consistent, but Su Ming doesn't believe it.
Su Ming had a vague feeling that Flora was estranged from the family, and the family obviously did not give her enough support.
The best evidence is Lance's attitude towards Flora.
The Mitchell family was weaker than the Osborn family, but for Lance to have the nerve to question Flora in that tough tone...it was out of character.
…
Early the next morning, Su Ming got up early, called Xia Xiaoyu and went directly to Flora's apartment.
Because he had something to ask her, he didn't plan to wait for Flora to come to her.
“Ding Dong~~”
The doorbell rang, footsteps were heard in the house, someone walked to the door and looked out through the peephole.
Then, the door opened.
"You're here really early. Come in."
Flora looked a little surprised, perhaps because she didn't expect Su Ming to take the initiative to find her, but she had already put on her clothes and was obviously ready to go out.
"It was clearly my request to visit Dongyang Island, and I should have been the one to pick you up, but you ended up picking me up instead. I feel so embarrassed...but, I'm very happy." While apologizing, Flora seemed to be hinting at something.
"No, I just wanted to get familiar with this place anyway, and I woke up early today and was bored, so I thought I could come and chat with you."
"Of course, you are always welcome! I am not used to coming to Dongyang Island alone. I would be very happy if you could come to my house often." Flora smiled brightly, "Please don't think this is just a compliment. If you don't mind, I would also like to visit you."
"You're welcome anytime."
Su Ming also looked at the other person with a smile, while thinking about other things in his heart.
There is no doubt that Flora has an inexplicable "liking" for him, or rather, an intention.
He still remembered the first time he saw Flora in the other dimension. At first sight, he felt that she was a very confident, strong, decisive and arrogant woman.
But now Flora gives people the feeling that she is very approachable, considerate, gentle and polite.
She is two years older than him, but she does not have the airs of an elder at all. She is even a little reserved when interacting with him. It seems that the true character of this Valkyrie is not what she shows in front of the public.
