Lu Yibai felt like his entire world had changed since he met these two people.

Honestly, the things they said to him were easy to understand literally, but they really challenged his worldview.

Lin Xiaoqi seemed to have noticed this, so she decided to shatter Lu Yibai's worldview with brute force.

With a gentle flick of her slender, fair fingers, Lu Yibai heard a crisp sound.

The wall behind him... had a hole in it.

It was a bit like Huang Laoxie's "Finger Flicking Divine Skill."

Seeing Lu Yibai's bewildered expression, Lin Xiaoqi flicked her finger again.

Pfft!

It sounded like she'd poked through something else.

A larger hole appeared in the wall behind Lu Yibai.

Lin Xiaoqi's expression was calm and casual, like a master with an air of noble aloofness.

After a moment, she seemed to remember something and asked Lu Yibai, "Boss, you can afford to fix the wall, right?"

Lu Yibai: "..."

What kind of people were these!

He suddenly wanted some peace and quiet.

"Don't call me boss, just call me Lu Yibai."

Who knew what kind of monster Lin Xiaoqi standing in front of him was? Being called "boss" by her felt really strange.

"Okay, boss."

"Thanks," Lu Yibai said, his mouth twitching.

"You're welcome, boss."

Lu Yibai felt like his life, which was supposed to be a normal urban life novel, had suddenly changed its setting without warning, turning into an urban fantasy, or perhaps urban cultivation???

According to Lin Xiaoqi, the reason he was chosen was because his physique was special.

One in ten thousand, or even one in a million, wouldn't be an exaggeration.

In her words, it was: "Do you want to become as strong as me?"

"Then, first, you must have a cultivable spiritual body."

It sounded pretty amazing, one in ten thousand.

But unfortunately, China had a large population...

Therefore, the Night Watchmen were not a small organization; on the contrary, they had a considerable number of members.

The contract he signed earlier meant he was now a registered member of the Night Watchmen.

He heard the organization even provided social security and housing funds?

And this bar was an industry allocated by the organization.

The guy who went upstairs to change, who was suspected to be gay, was called Ji Dekeng. If you read his name backward, it sounded like "KFC."

His name carried a strong "gay vibe."

Codename: Gentleman.

You know, when you mention "gentleman," it makes you think of England, and England, besides producing bald men, also produced some men with "warm hearts."

Ji Dekeng was eager to transfer the bar, which was equivalent to transferring his current position to someone else. After all, the bar owner was an arranged hidden identity by the Night Watchmen organization, and they were actually responsible for maintaining stability in this area.

According to Lin Xiaoqi, Ji Dekeng's performance was among the best in the organization, so he could have been promoted long ago. However, he just hadn't found a suitable successor.

According to the organization's internal rules, promotion was not allowed without finding a successor.

He was lucky today to have met Lu Yibai.

"Every Night Watchman has a responsibility to discover new talent."

These were Lin Xiaoqi's exact words to Lu Yibai.

People like them were too few, especially compared to the number of demons and ghosts.

Unity is strength!

Up to this point, Lu Yibai had no sense of belonging to this magical organization, but that didn't diminish his curiosity.

Every man has a wuxia dream, and moreover, this setting leaned a bit towards xianxia.

With cultivation and spiritual bodies, if it weren't for the fact that most Night Watchmen operated at night, they might as well have called themselves the Cultivator Alliance for simplicity.

"He's been promoted, aren't you going with him?" Lu Yibai asked.

According to Lin Xiaoqi, each area had a principal official and an assistant.

She was Ji Dekeng's former assistant.

Logically, if Ji Dekeng's performance among the regional leaders was top-notch, then Lin Xiaoqi's performance as his assistant should also be outstanding.

"I'm not going. It's quite comfortable here. You'll understand later, boss!" Lin Xiaoqi stretched lazily, showing off her hot figure.

Finally, she didn't forget to smile at Lu Yibai and waved her small hand, saying, "Boss, from now on, this area will be under our protection!"

How incredibly heroic!

As of now, the situation had completely slipped out of Lu Yibai's control.

Being called "boss" by Lin Xiaoqi at every turn left him a bit bewildered.

However, despite having the eyes of a dead fish all day, appearing listless, and sometimes being incredibly careless, his mind was quite clear.

Soon, he discovered a very crucial point.

If Ji Dekeng's performance was top-notch, then he was definitely a significant figure among the Night Watchmen.

Therefore, Lin Xiaoqi, as his assistant, was naturally not bad either.

And himself?

Although he was very reluctant to admit it, for the time being, he was still a muggle, or rather, a weakling.

Frankly speaking, with Ji Dekeng getting promoted, it would be more appropriate for his assistant Lin Xiaoqi to take over his position, and then for him, the newcomer, to take over the assistant's position. That would seem reasonable and rigorous.

Him becoming a leader right off the bat was a bit too hasty and casual.

Could it be that he was special in some way?

Lin Xiaoqi looked at Lu Yibai, as if sensing his confusion. She yawned and said, "Boss, don't overthink it. It's mainly because I'm lazy!"

Lu Yibai: "..."

This was completely unassailable.

It perfectly shattered Lu Yibai's "genius prodigy protagonist dream."

To be honest, in most industries, the subordinates like assistants are usually more hardworking. But demon hunting and ghost subjugation is a bit special.

Lastly, Lin Xiaoqi added, "Wucheng was originally the birthplace of Ji Dekeng's sect. Your spiritual body attributes are extremely suitable for his sect, which is why Ji Dekeng chose you."

"Oh?" This reignited Lu Yibai's enthusiasm.

I really am special!

"Then, what exactly is his sect?" Lu Yibai asked eagerly.

Anyone who could achieve top performance within the organization must be truly capable.

Even if he was a bit flamboyant.

Lin Xiaoqi was just his assistant, but she had just flicked her fingers twice and broken the wall, which was quite impressive.

When will I be as excellent as her?

Lin Xiaoqi walked out from behind the bar and sat next to Lu Yibai. Lu Yibai could faintly smell a light, pleasant scent from her.

She looked at Lu Yibai with a serious expression and then said sternly, "Boss, it's the Destined Protagonist School—the Trash Protagonist School!"

"Amazing, right?"

Lu Yibai was speechless...

So utterly cliché!

He looked up at the sky.
