New Employee Assessment

"Sir, where did you hear about a Heavenly Demon Body Snatching? I truly was cured by an acupuncturist. You seem like a capable person, so why would you believe in something as absurd as a Heavenly Demon Body Snatching? Whoever told you that, I suggest you go kill them after you leave…" Wang San said with a bitter expression. "Isn't there black dog blood over there? Just splash a bowl on my face and see if it works!"

"Mr. Seven, can you tell what his Keyword is?" Feng Yunjie asked curiously, examining Wang San on the bed.

The moment he heard "Keyword," Wang San's breathing hitched for half a beat, but it quickly returned to normal. He looked at Dug, his eyes filled with confusion: "What are you talking about? What Keyword?"

"Shopkeeper Feng, what was he doing when the people from the manor went to find him, as you said earlier?" Dug, with his keen senses, had already determined Wang San's origins from his micro-expressions. He smiled and turned to ask.

"Flirting with the neighbor's little girl," Feng Zhong replied.

"Flirting, huh!" Dug looked at Wang San on the bed and chuckled. "Then it must be related to love. Let me guess your Keyword: Love? Passion? Romance? Affection? Doting? Adultery…?"

"Mr. Seven, I don't know what you're talking about! I'm just a shop assistant!" Wang San said. "Why don't you believe me? Isn't there black dog blood over there?"

"You're really not a Heavenly Demon?" Dug asked.

"Really not," Wang San replied.

"No Keyword?" Dug asked.

"No," Wang San said.

"Third Young Master, how do we usually deal with suspected Heavenly Demons?" Dug turned to Feng Yunjie and asked.

"Better to kill by mistake than let one escape," Feng Yunjie thought for a moment and replied.

"Kill him. We'll just say he died of consumption. Living one more day is already his luck," Dug glanced at him and said indifferently.

Swish! Feng Yunjie drew his long sword and, without hesitation, swung it towards Wang San's neck.

"Stop." Wang San suddenly closed his eyes and quickly said, "Romantic. My Keyword is Romantic. Don't kill me, I'm no threat."

Romantic!

Everyone in the room frowned in unison.

Feng Shiyi said, "Mr. Seven, is it useful?"

"Useful, useful, Brother, don't kill me, I can help you, we can cooperate, I'll be your weapon from now on. I just ask that you let me stay a bit longer, let me experience a few more days of… the good life in this world…" Wang San's words tumbled out quickly as he looked at the sword blade just three fen from his throat. "I haven't even had a few bites of good food yet, I don't want to die like this. Please, please, I have no ambitions, I promise not to mess up your plans."

"Shopkeeper, can you find the little girl he was flirting with last night?" Dug ignored him and turned to Feng Zhong. "I want to know exactly what he said to the little girl."

"Okay, I'll arrange it right away," Feng Zhong said.

"No!" Wang San's demeanor suddenly wilted. He looked at Dug and suddenly asked, "Brother, is it raining today?"

"…" Dug was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what he meant by that nonsensical question. So, he was trying to use a secret code! He didn't know whether to laugh or cry. No matter the test, there were always these cheaters! Dug asked, "Then how should I answer?"

"Not today, the day after tomorrow," Wang San sighed, dejectedly.

"Now you can tell me your real Keyword. If it's useful, we can cooperate," Dug said. "Wang San, this is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer."

"Yandere, my Keyword is Yandere," Wang San said, his face dimming as he revealed the true Keyword.

"Yandere?" Dug was stunned. He looked at the ordinary-looking Wang San on the bed and almost asked, With a Keyword like that, why did you choose someone with such an appearance? Shouldn't you have chosen a woman? But then he quickly understood the reason. Closed-book exam!

First the Body Snatching, then the Keyword is given!

Shit!

This not only tests acting skills but also luck! It's a good thing this guy Body Snatched a young man. If he had Body Snatched an old man and then been assigned a Yandere attribute, he wouldn't have been able to play the game for even a minute…

Thankfully, his Keyword is Maintenance! If he had been assigned a word similar to Yandere, he would have eliminated himself. He simply couldn't act out that kind of madness and perversion!

Moreover, this guy, like Feng Jiu, only said one Keyword. It seems he's the only one with two Keywords. With two examples, Dug finally felt relieved.

"What's a Yandere?" Feng Shiyi asked.

"Someone who's sickly and delicate, I guess!" Feng Yunjie said. "Otherwise, why would he Body Snatch someone who had consumption?"

Dug looked back at the two of them but didn't speak.

"Brother, I'm really not lying to you this time," Wang San looked at Dug, pleading. "Although my Keyword is a bit weak, it can help you when it grows. Two people are always stronger than one, right? You didn't attack me as soon as we met, so you want to cooperate with me, right?"

"Okay, you can stay," Dug said after a moment of silence.

"Thank you, Brother!" Wang San was overjoyed. He then looked at Feng Zhong. "Shopkeeper, didn't you hear? Brother said he'd let me go, why haven't you untied me yet?"

Feng Yunjie swung his sword, cutting the ropes binding Wang San. Feng Shiyi then unsealed his pressure points.

Wang San sat up, rubbing his arms to clear his blood circulation. He looked around the room at everyone, and his gaze landed back on Dug: "Brother, what do we do next? I'll listen to you."

"I want to build a team, and everyone on the team must be strong," Dug said. "To join, you must demonstrate potential and value. My team doesn't keep deadbeats."

"Value? Is this a test for me?" Wang San asked.

"Mm," Dug nodded.

Wang San scanned the people in the room, frowning slightly: "Brother, are there no women in our team?"

"Not for now," Dug replied.

"Oh," Wang San responded, then looked at Feng Yunjie and the others, tentatively asking, "They'll cooperate with me, right?"

"Mm," Dug glanced expressionlessly at the people in the room and nodded.

He had to keep Wang San, firstly to give the Feng Manor an explanation, and secondly, to see how he would portray a Yandere, to learn from his acting experience in case he encountered similar Keywords in the future.

Wang San smiled slightly, looked at Feng Yunjie, coughed twice, clearing his throat and attempting to change his voice: "Little brother, I like you."

"…" Feng Yunjie trembled, looking at Wang San in disbelief. "What did you say?"

Under everyone's gaze, Wang San looked at Feng Yunjie, his expression turning cold in an instant.

He reached out, wanting to touch Feng Yunjie's face, but seeing the longsword in his hand, he pulled his hand back. He simply looked at Feng Yunjie with doting eyes, his voice changing in an instant: "Yes, you heard me right, I like you. The moment you walked into the room, I set my eyes on you. However, I'm very possessive and don't like others touching what's mine. I also believe that what's truly yours can't be taken away by others… Mwahahaha, you look so cute right now…"

"…" Dug was stunned. What the hell, that's so awkward, isn't it? Feng Shiyi and Feng Zhong froze on the spot, looking at Wang San, the muscles in their faces twitching involuntarily.

Feng Yunjie's face instantly turned incredibly grim, goosebumps visibly rising on his skin. He tightened his grip on his sword, as if he would hack at Wang San's neck the next second, but thankfully, he still had his wits about him. He suppressed his impulse, turning to look at Dug, his eyes filled with confusion.

"Wang San, you've gone mad," Feng Zhong scolded. "Do you know who he is? He's the Feng Family's Third Young Master."

"Shopkeeper Feng, from now on, please call me Mu Haoran." Wang San turned to Feng Zhong, maintaining his previous tone and voice.

"Cough!" Dug finally couldn't hold back. He coughed once. "Wang San, stop for a moment. Before you go full Yandere, I suggest you change out of that waiter's uniform. Your acting is great, and your voice is great, but that outfit, combined with your looks, honestly, breaks the immersion and is an eyesore…"

Feng Yunjie let out a long breath.

Wang San looked down at his clothes, then gave an evil, charming smile: "Little brother, don't run off. Wait for me to change my clothes, then I'll come find you."
