"And what's more, I've already bought a house! I paid for it all myself in full."
Keke stood with her hands on her hips, looking proud.
"Isn't that amazing? The soldiers you trained have become truly outstanding!"
"Aren't you... very proud?"
" Instructor Qin... I want to hear you praise me..."
Tick-tock, tick-tock...
Large tears streamed down Keke's cheeks and fell to the ground.
She covered her face and sobbed softly, tears streaming down her face.
" Instructor Qin... I'm so sad. Sister Hela is Variant, and Han Xiaoxiao has broken off all ties with me... My dad only knows how to ask me for money, and so many of my teammates have died..."
"I, I... Waaah... I don't want to Night Star anymore..."
"Now that I'm the captain of our squad, taking care of everyone is really tiring..."
"I long to lean on someone, but... I'm all alone now..."
Keke's voice trembled violently, and her eyes were red and swollen from crying.
"Hmm? Hehe..."
Liu An suddenly leaned over out of curiosity, and upon seeing Keke crying, he hugged her tightly and rubbed his head against her repeatedly.
"Hey, hey, hey! Sister Liu An, Sister Liu An!"
Liu An hugged Keke like a sloth, almost causing Keke to fall over.
"Alright, alright, stop fooling around."
Keke smiled helplessly, took it off her body, and her tears stopped flowing without her even realizing it.
She wiped her eyes and sighed, "Honestly, I cried again this year while visiting the graves. I cry every year when I visit the graves."
Keke looked at Qin Gucheng's tombstone and scratched her head apologetically, "Sorry, Instructor Qin, I cried in front of you again. I hope you don't find me annoying."
She chuckled twice, then glanced at the time and stood up.
"Alright, it's getting late. I think the application I submitted to the higher-ups has been approved by now."
At this point, Keke suddenly became excited, "Hehe, I wonder if they'll allow me to retire. When I retire, I'm definitely going to sleep in Tiantian! And eat all kinds of delicious food!"
Hehehe! Hehe!
Liu An hugged Keke and grinned foolishly, while Keke affectionately patted his back.
"Alright, Instructor Qin, we're off! See you tomorrow!"
Keke took one last reluctant look at the tombstone, waved goodbye, and then left the martyrs' cemetery with Liu An.
"Let's go, Sister Liu An, let's go home!"
As soon as they stepped out of the cemetery gate, Keke n't wait to pull out a Rubik's Cube made entirely of metal.
With a thought, the palm-sized metal Rubik's Cube floated into the air.
The 26 metal cubes that make up the Rubik's Cube then dispersed, leaving only the central axis, which fell into Keke's palm.
One of the cubes landed at his feet and slowly began to expand in length and width, transforming in the blink of an eye into a metal platform of about one square meter.
"Come on, Sister Liu An, be careful. You almost fell last time, it scared me half to death."
As Keke spoke, she carefully pulled Liu An onto the metal platform.
As the metal platform slowly rose, the other dozen or so metal cubes quickly surrounded it, rapidly extending to form several walls that firmly protected the two of them.
"Alright, let's go!"
With a whoosh, the 'spaceship' made of a metal cube streaked through the air at incredible speed toward Keke's home.
I just entered Nanchuan City B, near my home.
Keke noticed a man in black squatting at her doorstep, holding a letter.
Keke became incredibly excited and immediately increased her speed to the maximum, rushing towards the man in black.
Then it suddenly stopped in front of the man in black.
The howling wind made the man in black's clothes flutter loudly, but his expression remained calm throughout.
The cube slowly shrank, Keke pulled Liu An down from it. Then the cube reformed into a Rubik's Cube and was put into Keke's pocket.
"Hello, hello! Are you here to deliver my mail?"
Keke looked at the man in black with excitement, rubbing her hands together excitedly.
The man in black looked Keke up and down, then stood up and handed the letter to her.
"That's right, this is a notice issued to you by your superiors."
"Yay, that's great, thank you!"
Keke took the letter, but was a little stunned by its thickness.
Why are there so many?
The man in black merely glanced at Keke without replying.
This made Keke somewhat unhappy.
"What kind of attitude is that...?"
She muttered something under her breath, then stopped worrying and simply opened the envelope to take a look.
"Come on, let me see how much your pension is..."
When Keke saw the large characters "[Promoted to Gravekeepers ]" above, she froze instantly.
She rubbed her eyes and looked at it again.
[Promoted to Gravekeepers ]
"No, I'm applying for retirement, not a promotion! Besides, I don't even know what Gravekeepers is!"
The man in black shrugged. "I was just delivering a letter; I have no idea what's inside."
Keke's lips twitched, but she forced herself to calm down and continued reading the other letters.
But the more she looked, the colder her heart became.
This content simply explains that Keke's abilities are extremely suitable for Gravekeepers and introduces what Gravekeepers are used for.
The remaining majority of the text describes the various advantages of becoming Gravekeepers, including benefits and salary.
This includes, but is not limited to, a monthly salary of 100,000, post-mortem insurance of 20 million, and various benefits such as exemption from medical and travel expenses for oneself, one's descendants, or even family members in society.
But Keke had absolutely no interest in any of that. She already had millions in savings in her account, enough for her Keke live a carefree life. She had no desire to be Gravekeepers.
"Um... can I not take the job?"
The man in black shook his head mercilessly.
"Don't ask me, I'm just a messenger, but as is customary, once you're chosen, you have to go whether you want to or not."
"Oh, how could this happen..." Coco Keke like she was about to cry, but the man in black turned and walked away without a second thought.
"Sigh, is there really no way we can negotiate anymore! I've only just arrived at ' Ten Thousand Stars,' and I can't even beat people of the same realm..."
Keke tried to struggle a little more, but the other person disappeared in a flash.
"This, this... Wow--! Bullying honest people!"
Keke stood there helplessly, holding the report, and couldn't hold back her tears.
"Welcome to this news broadcast. Recently, a video of an Variant invasion of the Night Star headquarters in Atan Country has gone viral online."
"In the video, the disheveled deputy commander of the Atan Country is speaking directly to the camera about a major Disaster caused by Variant invasion."
"In this Disaster, this Variant not only slaughtered the garrison squad in City A of District B, but also the captain and vice-captain of the [Godslaying] Squad were killed by members suspected to be from the Light God Society!"
"According to the deputy commander's account in the video, we know that the invaded Fallen God Group had notified the Night Star [Five Calamities] would be coming to their company, and strongly requested that the [Godslaying] Squad be dispatched."
