Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 1171 Special Tea
And so, the situational game continued amidst everyone's casual conversation.

Along the way, when Su Weiyu encountered topics that interested her, she would ask Xia Shou to act as a mouthpiece and express her opinions.

On one occasion, Ke Hen even said that her idea didn't seem like Xia Shou's idea, which made Su Weiyu happy for a while.

At the dinner table, everyone toasted and ate heartily. Finally, it was time to go home.

Baihe left early because he had to go back to take care of his young nephew.

The two men of the Ninja Wind Squad, who were known for their invincible alcohol tolerance, were both defeated after a drinking contest with Mo Ying and are now lying dead.

In addition, there was a little incident: Li Ming's parents suddenly made a video call.

So Shangguan Yan had no choice but to appear on camera as a temporary guardian, praising Li Ming highly and also drawing up a perfect employment blueprint for Li Ming's parents, who were just ordinary people.

In this short conversation, Shangguan Yan demonstrated his powerful persuasive skills, convincing the parents of the other party with just three reasons.

The first reason is that Jiangbo City has now reached a state of extraordinary living, and will inevitably have to coexist with the extraordinary and abnormal in the future.

Secondly, Li Ming has always worked in clerical positions, has excellent talent, and the annual mortality rate for administrative staff is less than 0.2%, so Li Ming is actually very safe.

Furthermore, as Li Ming's family members, they will also have very strict security guarantees in the future, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone.

Third, Xiaoming is a genius who has been performing exceptionally well recently, earning high bonuses and already having 500,000 yuan in his bank account.

After Shangguan Yan unleashed these powerful weapons, Li's parents, who already held the traditional belief that their son would become a dragon among men, immediately and firmly stood on the side of the Control Bureau.

The two parents treated Shangguan Yan with the same respect that ordinary parents would show to their son's boss, expressing a great deal of gratitude for his care and consideration.

Afterwards, he also told his children to study hard and work hard in the future.

Aside from these minor incidents, Xia Shou also witnessed Fatty once again losing 200,000 yuan to the minister at the dinner table, relying on his so-called "spirit."

They also witnessed Huangfu winning first place in the ankle-wrestling competition with his amazing leg strength, earning him the nickname "Big Foot" and a bonus of 20,000 yuan specially approved by the minister.

After the banquet, Xia Shou felt that he understood everyone better, especially those "special talents" that were not apparent from their appearance.

For example, Sister Ying can really drink a lot.

Among those who haven't undergone physical training, Huangfu's leg strength is truly remarkable.

And so, amidst the rather chaotic atmosphere, the dinner party finally came to a successful end.

There were a lot of people who were drunk, including Goro, who was pretending to be drunk to avoid being scolded by Kurosawa Yoru.

A group of people hurriedly carried the drunkards into Huangfu's car and drove them back to the control bureau, while the rest of the people got into Shangguan Yan's luxury car.

"There's still some time left, and everyone's minds are still clear, so let's go have some tea. I know a teahouse owner whose tea is specially supplied; it's the best for digestion and refreshing the mind."

"While we're having tea, I'll also take this opportunity to talk to you about the work arrangements for the coming period," Shangguan Yan said while fastening his seatbelt.

"Minister, let's talk about it tomorrow. Isn't today a holiday?" Jiang Wengao grumbled.

"No, our job is to save lives. Other professions can be paused, but will life pause just because you want to rest?"

These words immediately silenced Xiao Gao.

The car started, drove for three blocks, and finally stopped in front of an unremarkable teahouse.

After everyone got off the car, they realized that the entrance to the teahouse was full of familiar faces from the Control Bureau. Xia Shou immediately spotted Mark and Gu Liang, who were wearing cowboy hats.

"Yo! Demon... cough cough, Xia Shou is here for tea too." Gu Liang was about to call Xia Shou by his nickname when he saw him, but when he saw the red figure next to him, he immediately changed his mind and called him by his name.

"Why is everyone here?" Xia Shou asked in surprise as he stepped forward. Gu Liang replied, "Don't you know? After the supernatural became commonplace, many hidden shops are planning to officially open. This teahouse owner is one of them. The tea here can remove minor impurities from magical energy. It's only sold here, and drinking it regularly is very beneficial for supernatural beings. It's good for your health."

Mark whistled at Xia Shou as a greeting.

The next second, two girls appeared out from behind Mark, waving and greeting Xia Shou: "Long time no see! (in unison)"

"Xiao Zuo and Xiao You?" Xia Shou breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the smiles on their faces.

Even after Lin Tiandong's death, he was still worried about Xiao Zuo and Xiao You's situation. Now it seems that they have also moved on from that incident.

That's wonderful.

While Xia Shou was greeting acquaintances, his other colleagues were also greeting their own acquaintances.

What surprised Xia Shou the most was that Li Ming had a lot of acquaintances.

Moreover, many people, including older employees, affectionately call him Brother Li, which seems to have become a recognized nickname.

After exchanging pleasantries and entering the teahouse, Xia Shou finally couldn't help but ask, "Xiao Ming, were those people you knew just now?"

"Yes, I handle miscellaneous tasks when the minister is away, so I have a lot of handover with other departments."

"I've noticed they all call you Brother Li," Xia Shou continued in amazement.

"Because I'm young, they all tease me like that. I don't know which guy started it, but when I came to my senses, everyone was shouting it like that." Li Ming shrugged.

Seeing Li Ming's appearance, Xia Shou also felt that the nickname "Little Brother Li" was quite fitting, because he was young but had the demeanor of a little adult, and this contrast was indeed impressive.

"Sigh, if only I could be as strong as you, Brother Shou, then even if some busybodies give me some unpleasant nicknames, they wouldn't spread," Li Ming suddenly sighed.

Xia Shou was taken aback: "What do you mean? Hasn't my nickname already spread? The Witch's trump card?"

"This nickname is cool, I think it's great, but there are actually some nicknames that aren't so nice, but because you're strong enough, people don't usually call you that."

"What nickname?"

"Bull and Horse Brand".

Xia Shou frowned: "What do you mean?"

"It's just a compliment to your ability to work overtime; you're the last trump card for all three departments' overtime efforts," Li Ming subtly hinted.

Xia Shou frowned, lost in thought.

While everyone was chatting, Shangguan Yan had already arranged a private room with ease and received a mysterious paper bag from the owner.

She turned around and gave everyone a meaningful look.

"Let's go upstairs and have some tea."

As you climb the old stairs to the second floor, the noise on the first floor immediately disappears.

Shangguan Yan walked ahead, introducing the place like a guide: "You can come here often when you have time, especially Mo Ying, as well as Bai He and Wu Lang."

If the level of abnormality is high, you need to pay special attention to health preservation, because the erosion of curse power is no joke.

The owner here uses his privately supplied tea; drinking it daily can increase one's tolerance to magical power. I just told the owner about it. From now on, you and your friends can drink this special tea for free when you come."
