I'm the King of Wage Earners in Lobotomy City

The abrupt and incoherent words made Du hesitate for a moment, then he tentatively nodded, but the other party immediately got off the ladder and ignored him.

What's the situation?

I knocked on the door again, dispelling any doubts, wondering what was going on in this place.

Have you ever hugged someone?

"No."

The other party left again, which confused Du Jue so much that he simply kicked off the wall and flipped over the barbed wire fence.

The three young men in faded jeans were terrified and quickly grabbed the spiked club and machete next to them, still astonished by Du Jue's agile skills.

Upon discovering that they were wearing armor made of paper, Du Jue did not immediately attack them, but instead pushed over a nearby pile of garbage that was four or five meters high.

Bang!

The terrifyingly massive crusher instantly appeared in Du Jue's hand. With a single, forceful swing, he swept away all the flying trash, even creating a continuous gust of wind.

"We surrender!"

Seeing the bandaged monster burst in with such a terrifying weapon, and even wield it with such ease, the three of them dropped their weapons in fear and raised their hands.

Du Jue never expected that the concept of the Giant Item Workshop would actually work in the city, easily making these thugs realize the gap in strength between themselves and the workers.

"I'm the person who gets paid to finish things up. I came here looking for Ma Ji. Where is he?"

"Um, who is Ma Ji?"

thump.

The impact of the crusher made the three of them feel as if their feet were lightly lifted off the ground. Their legs went weak and they collapsed to the ground, unable to imagine what would happen if that thing hit them.

"No, no, no! No one needs to give their name at the hugging party, as long as they were invited by Parala!"

Du Jue followed the directions of the three men with some skepticism and found a clean building on the high ground, which was completely out of place with the garbage mountain below. He immediately pushed open the door and saw a large group of people gathered together.

These people were all wearing clean clothes that were worn down to almost white, and they had full-coverage hoods on their heads that only revealed their eyes. At this moment, they all stood up and turned to look at Du Jue, revealing a sense of collective oppression.

"Please wait a moment."

A beautiful woman who looked familiar to Du Jue stood up, raised her hands to signal everyone to sit down quietly, and exuded an indescribable sense of leadership.

Isn't that Parala?!

The last time, Xiaomian clearly killed her, so this guy couldn't possibly have anything like a regeneration injection.

With a mixture of surprise and uncertainty, Du Jue followed Palala uphill until they arrived at an empty rooftop. There was no longer any smell of garbage, and there was even an outdoor swimming pool.

Du Jue stared intently at the swimming pool and realized it was the place he and Elena had been. The experience of that night and Elena were still vivid in his memory.

Thinking about this, Du Jue's lingering anxiety and anger lessened, and only now did he belatedly relax.

Although he faces unknown threats from the City Star, he now has a good friend from the City Star.

"Du Jue, what brings you here?"

Parala looked at Du Jue strangely, and Du Jue, coming back to his senses, looked back in confusion, but was startled, wondering how he had suddenly been exposed.

"Who is responsible for eradicating the problem? I am Wen Duo, the one who cleans up the mess."

"Oh, I'm the driver. Don't you recognize me?"

"I'm really not trying to stop it."

"Alright, Du Jue, then I'll call you Wen Duo, okay?"

Hey!

It's unusual for someone to deliberately change their clothing and daily demeanor every time they switch identities, let alone have bandages wrapped around the lower half of Wen Duo's face and wear leather gloves on their hands. How did the other party see through the problem at a glance?

101

Chapter 101 Designated Commission.

"you are?"

Du Jue took a few steps back and cautiously sized up Palala, but his intuition told him that the other party posed no threat. The other party was wearing a pure white dress and was as calm as the surface of a pool of water.

"It's me. I drove for you several times before, but I'm not a driver anymore."

Hey!

Is gender reassignment surgery so common in urban areas?

Du Jue immediately thought of Pianjiang; could it be that this guy had also undergone gender reassignment surgery?

"Newcomers do get a discount, but I only had some cosmetic and body sculpting done to resemble Parala."

That's it?

"Then how did you recognize me? Am I that easy to spot?!"

Du Jue looked down at his appearance with suspicion. It was completely different from the smiling face he had been wearing back then, especially since he had been dressed in the red clothes and mask of the smiling face.

Parala simply gazed at the horizon with a look of reminiscence and emotion.

“I returned to the Depreciation Gang in Paralla to help more people, those who have been abandoned by their families and companies, who are drowning because they are not getting any recognition. So I am here to provide a platform where we can embrace each other.”

“I usually find drowning victims online and become friends with them. Now the Depreciation Gang recycles and evaluates second-hand items and people. I think the meaning of depreciation is to reshape their value.”

"It may sound strange, but I can see how empty they are. As long as they share and then give recognition and embrace, that emptiness will be reduced. I felt my own value and meaning from this process."

Du Jue was completely confused and didn't understand what was going on with Parala. It couldn't have been that she suddenly awakened superpowers, could it?

“Your emptiness is unique, so I can recognize it at a glance.”

"Never mind, I'm here to find Ma Ji, the kid of a second association's head. He must have run away from home and come here."

"I have to keep this a secret, everyone here is called Parala."

That's it.

I didn't expect this request to be so simple, but I still have some concerns about Parala revealing her identity, and I don't know if there is any amnesia spray for sale in the city.

"The reason I'm explaining this to you is because you helped me out of my darkest times before, but I won't reveal any information about the other members of the gathering. They all came here because they trusted me."

"I will not tell anyone about your affairs either."

"Then you should keep an eye on it."

"What is this, Urban Girl?"

Seeing that Parala had clicked into the Urban Girl's live stream, Du Jue quickly brought up another matter.

"Can I join your new Depreciation Gang?"

"No problem, please tell me about your troubles."

"Um, I'm really short on money right now."

After delivering his dry and stilted words, Parala did not point out his perfunctory attitude, but simply listened with a smile, while Du Jue immediately received the response of his work card.

Congratulations on joining the Depreciation Team!

[Gained the talent for part-time work: Parala]

[Description: Depreciation is not about denying the past, but about shaping the future]

[Effect: The sense of security emanating from your words and writing is greatly enhanced]

Ok?

Why is this the result? It's supposed to be a gang, yet they don't offer any combat-type talents, and only one effect at that. It seems to be on par with the level of the Garbage Collector and the Good Agency.

"Your gang seems pretty positive and motivated. If anyone causes trouble, you can contact me."

"Thank you, Wendo."

"But don't you have any armed personnel? The three guards at the gate were scared to death by me."

"They were just volunteers put together temporarily to provide protection for the gathering, but I will do a good job of this later. After all, there are many people who are eager to take over the rebuilt gangs. This is the biggest recycling plant in the area."

"Then why don't you hire Du Jue as the deputy leader? With a ruthless guy protecting you, even the neighborhood watchmen shouldn't target you."

"Thank you, please stop."

As soon as he finished speaking, Du Jue vaguely noticed a clear change in Palala's emotions. It seemed that the part-time job card was capturing this ethereal thing to provide him with magical talents and tools.

Moreover, the cards that Kagi transformed into were not as uncontrollable as other distortions or L Company's anomalies; in fact, they continuously provided him with positive benefits. Is this really a distortion phenomenon?

Congratulations on your promotion in the Depreciation Team!

[Obtain work item: worn-out jeans]

[Description: Time can only erode the future, but it cannot erase the past.]

【Effect: This item will never wear out】

This thing is surprisingly useful; at least it eliminates the worry of your pants being torn to shreds by a smoke explosion someday.

Du Jue put on his pants and went downstairs, pulling off the hoods of each party member one by one. He still managed to pick up the blond-haired boy, Ma Ji, who was trying to escape. The people around him didn't surround him after being comforted and explained by Parala.

"Let me go! That bastard always finds fault with everything I do, saying this is no good, that is bad, and everything has to be done his way!"

"My things have to be arranged the way he wants, and he forces me to eat things I don't like. He just wants me to obey! Only here will he approve of me!"

thump.

Do not throw him into a taxi.

“It’s no use talking to me. You can run away from home again next time. Anyway, I can make money off your dad. How about we split the profits 50/50?”

"What the hell! You're trying to scam us out of our money?! I'm going to file a complaint against you!"

"My name is Wen Duo. I'd better be careful. If the Depreciation Gang turns out to be human traffickers, you're doomed."

"Hmph! Parala is different! You don't know anything!"

[Shamisen: Angelica [60000 eyes] So the rumors were true! Amazing! Shirt [10000 eyes] Does the streamer only reply to messages with over 10000 eyes? Does the command also care about money? Yang [10000 eyes] Urban Girl, may we meet privately?]

[To Eliminate: To Angelica: The Alley of Sound is about to face disaster. To Shirt: Knowing the meaning of the command must come at a price; now 100000 eyes are needed. To Yang: I am the city.]

[Please do not send messages containing shamisen or less than 100000 eyes; I can't handle too many.]

He casually replied to those strange questions, not caring about changing the plot or being too arrogant and attracting attention. As long as he could generate buzz and get involved with Wen Duo to finish things off, he would take off, and high-level commissions would come knocking on his door.

Anyway, it's the index finger and the instruction that have suffered reputational damage, what does it have to do with him, an ordinary working man?

Molar Dental Clinic.

Ma Ji, who was standing next to him, was taken away by the client with a dark expression. Du Jue, on the other hand, couldn't wait to take on the next client. Although the talents and tools of the low-level organization were generally average, it was always better to have more of these things.

"Wen Duo, here's a commission specifically for you, and it's from within K Nest. When did you get involved with them?"

Olga, on the stairs, waved curiously to Du Jue below.

"What? Someone specifically requested me to handle this case?"

102

Chapter 102 Repair.

"I don't know the specifics, but they called me and specifically asked me to come. You're really famous now."

"Although Harold's review last time was a bit troublesome, many other people who were finishing up their projects elsewhere have heard of your name. Tsk tsk tsk, I'm afraid you'll be leaving my little firm soon."

Olga, sitting behind her desk, sadly covered her forehead and stamped the power of attorney signed by her client.

"I'll treat you to drinks after get off work."

"I told you you weren't an ingrate! Wen Duo, you'll definitely become a reliable forbidden hunter. We might even need to contact you for help sometime. Here, I've sent you the client's phone number."

Du Jue immediately called back, but no one answered for a long time. Somewhat puzzled, he was about to ask Olga when a text message from Company K arrived.

[Dear Wen Duo, this is a request from a department under Company K. If your performance is outstanding, we will consider hiring you as a full-time closing specialist. If you are interested, please call this number back privately.]

Why are you being so secretive?

Du Jue immediately greeted Olga and went to the back of the office to call back. He was still wondering why K Company had suddenly given him an offer. Could the reputation of the back alley have spread to Wings of the World?

"Hey, what's the request? Keep it brief."

A cool, clear male voice came from behind.
