A Cushy Government Job

Lu Bai stayed in the nightclub for less than half an hour before getting up and leaving.

To put it bluntly, no matter how enthusiastic he is, it's impossible Can Society these members to simply reveal all the information to him.

That's not called trust, that's called being brainless.

Initial contact is merely recognizing faces; only after several such encounters will a sense of acceptance gradually build.

After leaving the nightclub, Lu Bai didn't wander around the streets of Livability City; he went straight home.

After Lu Bai left.

Kang Meirou gave Ding Zhongmin a look, signaling him to come over and talk to her alone.

She got up and walked to a booth in the corner. Because the lights were off, visibility was very low, and her expression was barely visible in the shadows.

A moment later, Ding Zhongmin sat down in front of Kang Meirou.

How much do you believe him?

Kang Meirou asked in a low voice.

I don't believe it at all.

"And you..."

"Whether that kid genuinely wants to join us or is just playing along, does it make any difference to us?"

If that kid reports us now, we'll just have to abandon this outpost at most. But if he's here as an undercover agent, ha...

Ding Zhongmin snorted coldly, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth. Under the double cover of smoke and shadow, it was impossible to see his expression clearly.

Kang Meirou thought about it and felt that it made sense, so she also took out a Ladies' Cigarette and lit it.

"Suit yourself. Of all these council members, you're the most reliable."

Ding Zhongmin took a deep drag on his cigarette.

"Don't forget to have Director Yang investigate that kid's background."

"Rest assured."

When Lu Bai arrived home, the siblings were both curled up on the sofa playing on their phones.

The siblings were probably terrified of being poor.

Although she had a large sum of money, Lu Ziyi still didn't dare to spend it extravagantly.

Let alone going to high-end places, the only significant expense was buying Lu Qingyan a cell phone.

She herself is still using her old phone.

However, Lu Ziyi herself is quite satisfied with this kind of life.

She quit her job at the convenience store, which involved working three shifts. Now, aside from spending some time buying groceries and cooking, she has free time to do as she pleases.

She looked much more radiant, and her previously somewhat gaunt figure had gained some weight.

"Hey, bro, you're back so early today." The little kid heard the door close and saw it was Lu Bai, so he immediately stood up from the sofa.

Lu Ziyi immediately stood up, instinctively wanting to greet them, but awkwardly swallowed her words back.

I'm going out to buy groceries.

"Then be careful."

Lu Bai stepped aside, watching her open the door and disappear into the hallway.

The little kid pouted, "Women are so petty."

Lu Bai sat down on the sofa, snatched the phone from the little kid's hand, and while the kid was still confused, asked him the question that had been bothering him for some time.

Why is your sister always so cold to me?

Lu Qingyan was not surprised.

The excuse of drowning and amnesia is indeed very effective at fooling children.

However, he did not publicize this excuse, and only mentioned it when he was facing Lu Qingyan.

The reason for this was that he didn't want to be taken for testing.

He had looked into it.

The medical level in No. 9 Underground City is quite advanced; otherwise, they wouldn't have been able to detect Lu Bai's brain defect.

Neuroimaging tools such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), positron emission tomography (PET), and functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) are well-developed.

It is easy to determine whether the brain regions where the patient stores related information and forms memories are damaged.

If he were taken in for testing and something was found to be wrong, Lu Bai would be in real trouble.

"Why do you still ask?"

The little brat sat cross-legged with his hands on his hips, his legs seemingly boneless. "It's all because of what happened after Mom died."

"... What's the meaning?"

The little brat shrugged.

"How would I know? How old was I back then? You must have offended her somehow. Anyway, ever since Mom passed away, my older sister has never given you a kind look."

If you ask me, all women are petty, especially Lu Ziyi; she always holds grudges."

Lu Bai remained silent for a moment before offering his advice. "Don't say these things in front of her."

Ordinary days are spent in a tense manner.

These days, Lu Bai has resumed his life of going back and forth between school and home.

During this time, he was anxiously waiting for someone from the Can Society to come and find him.

However, no.

Forget about inviting him to do bad things together, there wasn't even any intention to meet up and reconnect.

They're just like sewer rats, unable to stand even a sliver of light.

Lu Bai was helpless in the face of this.

He was also hoping that Ding Zhongmin could introduce him to more members of the Can Society.

Although the last contact was only a brief glimpse, Lu Bai still gained some understanding of the organizational structure of the Can Society.

There is one president, two Vice President, ten directors, and the rest are ordinary members.

Lu Bai wasn't trying to Can Society; he just wanted to learn their abilities.

After all, the ability to [load saves] is too overpowered. It's fine to use it in the Deathmatch Arena, but if you use it in the real world, it's no different from ruining someone's future.

Putting the facts aside, Lu Bai still prefers to do good deeds.

It's not ideal to leave the temporary gear slots in the real world completely empty.

Targeting members of the Can Society would make him feel more at ease.

Lu Bai didn't think much of the abilities of those guys he met at the nightclub last time, otherwise he would have already taken action.

The principal's office at the Zudian Campus.

How are you feeling? Are there any difficulties adjusting to your work?

Pu Xueli was very concerned about Lu Bai's affairs and would often call him over for a chat.

After a few times, Lu Bai became much more relaxed, realizing that Pu Xueli wasn't the kind of leader who needed subordinates to tremble in fear to demonstrate his authority.

"You know what's going on in the Assessment Department."

Lu Bai picked up his teacup and took a sip of tea.

In fact, he had been officially employed for almost a month, and he hadn't even gotten to know all the faculty and staff in his Group Six, let alone the entire Assessment Department.

It wasn't that he was arrogant and disdained interacting with the team members; it was simply that the Assessment Department was too leisurely.

At least this month, he hasn't seen all the team members at the office. Most of the time, the office of the Group Six is empty, and you can only occasionally run into a few people if you're lucky.

Lu Bai couldn't find an opportunity to display his official power.

Later on, he gave up and would leave after clocking in every morning, spending all his free time in the Fighting Arena.

Pu Xueli tapped his fingers on the Desktop: "In that case, would you be interested in leading a team for next week's teaching exchange?"
