Lu Yibai felt that ever since he ran into these two people, his entire world had become different.
Honestly, the things they said to Lu Yibai were very easy to understand literally, except that they challenged his worldview a little bit.
Lin Xiaoqi probably saw through this, which was why she decided to shatter Lu Yibai's worldview using violent means.
With a gentle flick of her fair, slender fingers, Lu Yibai heard a crisp snap.
The wall behind him... had a hole in it.
It was a bit like Huang Yaoshi's Finger-Flicking Skill.
Seeing Lu Yibai's dumbfounded expression, Lin Xiaoqi flicked again.
Pfft!
It seemed something else had been punctured.
On the wall behind Lu Yibai, a larger hole appeared.
Lin Xiaoqi's expression looked very calm and casual, putting on the demeanor of a grandmaster, exceptionally noble and cold.
After a moment, she seemed to recall something, and turning to Lu Yibai, she said, "Boss, you'll pay to fix the wall, right?"
Lu Yibai: "..."
What kind of person was this!
He suddenly wanted some peace and quiet.
"Don't call me boss, just call me Lu Yibai."
Ghost knew what kind of monster Lin Xiaoqi standing in front of him was; being called boss by her over and over again just felt weird.
"Alright, boss."
"Thanks." Lu Yibai's mouth twitched as he said.
"You're welcome, boss."
Lu Yibai felt that his life right now was like a perfectly fine modern slice-of-life novel where the settings were changed on a whim, turning into modern urban supernatural, or perhaps urban cultivation???
The reason he was able to be chosen, according to Lin Xiaoqi's words, was because his constitution was rather special.
One in ten thousand, or even one in a million, was no exaggeration.
According to her, it was: "Want to become as strong as me?"
"Then first, you have to be a spirit body capable of cultivation."
It sounded pretty badass, one in a million.
Yet alas, China's population was massive...
Therefore, the Night Watchmen was not a small organization; on the contrary, the headcount was quite considerable.
Since he had signed the contract earlier, it meant he was now officially on the payroll of the Night Watchmen.
Word had it that the organization even covered social insurance and housing fund internally?
And this bar was an asset assigned by the organization internally.
The suspected gay guy who went upstairs to change clothes was called Ji Dekeng, which spelled backward sounded like "KFC".
His very name exuded a rich "gay vibe".
Codename: Gentleman.
You had to know that mentioning a gentleman reminded people of England, and besides producing balding men, England also produced some "warm-hearted and helpful" men.
Ji Dekeng's urgent desire to transfer ownership of the bar was equivalent to transferring his current position to someone else. After all, the bar owner was equivalent to the person-in-charge arranged by the Night Watchmen organization to take charge of the stability of this sector, and actually served as the principal person in charge.
According to what Lin Xiaoqi said, Ji Dekeng's performance records were among the top few in the organization, so he could have been promoted long ago, except that he had never run into a suitable successor.
According to the organization's internal rules, if you couldn't find a successor, promotion wasn't allowed.
Today he was lucky enough to run into Lu Yibai.
"Every Night Watchman has the responsibility of discovering newcomers."
This was the original sentence Lin Xiaoqi told Lu Yibai.
There were simply too few people like them, especially compared to the number of demons and ghosts.
Unity is strength!
Up until now, Lu Yibai didn't have the slightest sense of belonging to this magical organization, but that didn't hinder his curiosity.
Every man had a martial arts dream, not to mention that this setting leaned somewhat toward immortal cultivation.
With all this talk of cultivation and spirit bodies, if most Night Watchmen didn't operate mostly at night, calling them the Cultivator Alliance would be much simpler and easier to understand.
"He got promoted, aren't you going with him?" Lu Yibai asked.
According to Lin Xiaoqi, in every sector, there was one person-in-charge, plus one assistant.
She was Ji Dekeng's former assistant.
Logically speaking, since Ji Dekeng's performance among the sector heads was among the top, then Lin Xiaoqi's performance among the assistants must definitely be top-tier as well.
"Not going, it's pretty free and easy here, boss you'll find out later!" Lin Xiaoqi stretched lazily, stretching out her hot figure as she spoke.
Finally, she didn't forget to flash a smile at Lu Yibai, waving her small hand as she said, "Boss, from now on this turf belongs to the two of us!"
That was truly fucking bold and magnificent!
The development of things, up to this point, had completely escaped Lu Yibai's control.
Being called boss over and over again by Lin Xiaoqi, he was a little dazed.
However, despite the fact that he kept a pair of deadpan eyes all day long, looked somewhat listless, and occasionally had a thick-headed nerve, his mind was very clear.
Soon, he discovered a very crucial issue.
If Ji Dekeng's performance was among the top, then he must definitely be a somebody within the Night Watchmen.
Then Lin Xiaoqi, as his assistant, naturally wouldn't be shabby either.
And what about himself?
Though extremely reluctant to admit it, for the time being he was indeed still a muggle, or rather, a weakling.
Makes sense, since Ji Dekeng got promoted, it would be about right for his assistant Lin Xiaoqi to take over his position, and then have a newcomer like himself take over the assistant's position—that would seem reasonable and rigorous, wouldn't it?
For him to become the person-in-charge right off the bat was a bit too rash and casual.
Could it be that he was somewhat special?
Lin Xiaoqi looked at Lu Yibai, seemingly seeing through his doubts, and after letting out a yawn, she spoke up, "Boss, don't think too much either, it's mainly because I'm lazy!"
Lu Yibai: "..."
That was airtight.
It completely shattered Lu Yibai's "genius monstrous protagonist dream".
Seriously, in ordinary industries, people at the bottom like assistants were definitely more hard-working, but subduing demons and slaying monsters was somewhat special after all.
At the end, Lin Xiaoqi didn't forget to add, "Crow City itself is the birthplace of the school that Ji Dekeng belongs to, boss, your spirit body's attribute is extremely suited to his school, which is why Ji Dekeng chose you."
"Oh?" This reignited Lu Yibai's enthusiasm.
I really am special!
"Then, exactly what school is he from?" Lu Yibai asked with eager eyes.
A man capable of pushing his performance to the organization's peak must be someone with genuine skills.
Even if he was a little gay-ish.
Lin Xiaoqi was merely his assistant, yet just by flicking her fingers twice she managed to break the wall; that was pretty formidable.
When would I be able to be as awesome as her?
Lin Xiaoqi walked out from behind the bar counter and sat down beside Lu Yibai. Lu Yibai could faintly catch a faint scent coming from her body, which felt very comfortable.
She looked at Lu Yibai with a serious expression, and then said very solemnly, "Boss, it's the Destined Protagonist School—Trash Protagonist School!"
"Awesome, right?"
Lu Yibai was speechless...
That was seriously fucking cliché-ridden!
He gazed up at the sky.
