Welcome to Shadow B's Brute Force

"Qualification check in progress..." A black screen suddenly appeared on the computer. In the center of the screen, a silver, mysterious ring was rotating, emitting blue light bit by bit, like releasing blue flames.

Lin Fan didn't notice that the candle above his head, illuminated by the blue flame, seemed to be showing signs of burning.

However, the blue flame on the ring then disappeared, and the computer screen only displayed the words "Qualification test passed" before quickly redirecting to a chat room.

"Newcomer Bao Zhaobao sound."

"Hehehe, someone else has fallen into the trap."

"Waaaaah, is big brother rich? I'm begging to be your sugar daddy and take you away!"

"Kill the whiny monster!"

"Newbie, don't be fooled, that's a burly man with unkempt feet."

"Uh, I think I've gone into the wrong room. I'd better go to room 13 first!" Lin Fan's intuition kicked in; this was definitely not a respectable place, and it would be better to leave as soon as possible.

"Since you're already here, don't leave. Once you're in this room, you're mine, and Brother B will treat you well!" A smirking voice rang out, sending a chill down Lin Fan's spine.

He turned around and saw a person wearing a black bodysuit and a strange mask appear behind him.

"The candle on your head is quite unique, do you have the same one on Taobao?" This person jokingly touched the candle on Lin Fan's head, finally bringing Lin Fan to his senses, and he darted to the side.

"You... you... who are you? How did you suddenly appear in my house!" Lin Fan was so frightened that he couldn't speak properly, especially since the other party had noticed the candle on his head. If the other party called the police, would he be taken away and dissected?

"Don't make a fuss. Although I know my handsome looks are indeed a bit shocking, don't be surprised. Working with your Brother B means you'll have food to eat, milk to drink, and money to earn. Our Group B is a perfect family. Working with Brother B, I promise you a lifetime of wealth and prosperity. Join now! You earn 1 second for every person you recruit, 2 seconds for every two people you recruit, and the more people you recruit, the more time you have. Live in a small house today, a villa tomorrow! Brother B will lead you to riches!"

"Who are you? I'm calling the police!" Lin Fan felt his worldview being shaken. This line seemed like brainwashing. Lin Fan swallowed hard and quickly said.

"Young people these days, do you even know who I am?!" Shadow B pulled out a business card, on which was written:

Some Shop the first enterprise in the Shadow Kingdom, Youjian Xiaodian; Honorary Warrior of the Shadow Legion; Top Revenue Maker of the Year; Top Summoning Performer of the Shadow Legion; 23rd Martial Arts Master of the Martial Arts World; Certified Golden Core Cultivator of the Cultivation Spirit Weapon World; Grandmaster of Forging Spiritual Weapons of the Martial World; Diplomatic Ambassador of the Shadow Kingdom to the Main World; Certified Cult Leader of the Countermeasure Bureau; Honorary Deacon of the Ring of Time and Space; First Prize Winner of the Shrimp Peeling Competition; Cross-dressing Master; A great, cultured, insightful, refined person who has transcended vulgar interests— Shadow B.

Behind this series of titles, there is also a chibi-style animated image of Shadow B dancing the Gokuraku Jodo dance.

"Well? Now you've witnessed my greatness!" Shadow B blinked his big eyes and patted the bewildered Lin Fan, saying, "Join the group now, and we'll give you a cultivation manual for Crow Sits on a Plane. How about it, are you tempted?"

"What the hell are these?" Lin Fan felt his worldview being challenged like never before. He shook his head frantically before finally regaining some clarity and said, "Are you from the Ring of Time and Space?"

"Yes, didn't you see this? Honorary Deacon of the Ring of Time and Space." Shadow B pointed to the business card and said, "Young man, let me tell you, there are only thirteen deacons in the entire Ring of Time and Space, and there's only one Honorary Deacon."

"Heh, truly remarkable!" Lin Fan said dismissively, though inwardly he was screaming that he had stumbled into a den of thieves. What kind of organization's deacon would act like such a madman?

"I know you look down on me now and think I'm a fraud, but you'll soon find out. Follow Brother B, and today you might ignore me, but tomorrow you'll be begging for my attention. So, young man, seize the opportunity!" Shadow B patted Lin Fan on the shoulder.

Lin Fan smiled awkwardly and glanced at the forum on his computer. He saw that the people in room B were still chatting.

"I bet the boss has already used time-space teleportation to harass the new guy, right?"

"I already feel some sympathy for him; I mourn for him, and for ourselves."

"Let's not talk about that anymore. Have you met your targets?"

"It's not that easy. There aren't many people who fit the time-sensitive constitution, and the Countermeasure Bureau is keeping a close eye on us."

"That's true. Lately, the Countermeasure Bureau has been acting like Mad Dogs, attacking everywhere and forcibly conscripting people, forcing us to hide all over the place."

"Well, even normally we're always trying to avoid XZ."

"Life is tough, don't expose it (^)"

"So, what's your decision, young man?" Shadow B was touching his nose with his little finger, picking out a wad of hair and flicking it to the side, then scratching his crotch. His ominous hand was about to pat Lin Fan's shoulder again.

Startled, Lin Fan quickly stepped back and said, "I already agreed to join the person who brought me into the Ring of Time and Space, to be part of her Room 13, Hall 12. I just accidentally went into the wrong room, Big Brother's."

"Entering the wrong room is also a kind of fate. Do you think you can just come and go as you please in Room B?" Although Shadow B's expression was unclear, he exuded a very serious and dangerous aura. At this moment, the background music of "The Return of the Night Ghost" started playing. Shadow B sat in the chair, crossed his legs, and asked, word by word, "Do you-want-to-die-once?"

"Gulp, Big Brother, I really did promise someone else first. Big Brother is a reasonable person. If I broke my promise, wouldn't Big Brother not understand?" Lin Fan swallowed and said, forcing himself to stay calm.

"You're right. Someone as reasonable as me certainly won't make things difficult for you. This is easy!" Shadow B turned off the media player on his phone, selected a number, and dialed. "Hello? Is this Xiaoli? Don't pretend you have no signal. I've used this trick before. There's a new guy who said he's one of yours?"

"You know what I mean. After I, Boss B, said it, we're taking this guy. Otherwise, tonight at midnight, I'll let you know what the Ring of Time and Space's boss is like!" Shadow B hung up the phone, turned on the player again, and played the ghostly background music. "Young man, what do you want to say now?"

"..."

"Very good, now you're mine. Don't cry, what are you crying for? I'll treat you well from now on, hehehe!" Shadow B said with a sly grin, rubbing his hands together, looking at Lin Fan like a big bad wolf looking at a little white rabbit.

It's my girlfriend's birthday today. We're going out to eat later. I'll see what time I get back; if I get back early, there will be another update.
