Delta: We'll let you protect us, but you'll end up protecting our profession?

"what?"

Hearing Sang Yu's birthday wishes, Gu Tian was taken aback.

Who makes a cake that costs 10,000 yuan?

Have we truly stumbled upon the imperial palace by mistake?!

After the initial shock came a deep sense of emotion.

He spends most of his time playing games and has almost no friends in real life.

Grandma is the first person to wish me a happy birthday since my birthday started.

In previous years, only my grandmother remembered my birthday and only my grandmother would wish me a happy birthday.

Over the years, Sang Yu seems to be the second person to genuinely wish himself a happy birthday.

"Thank you, Sister Sang! Your kind gesture is enough."

Moved, Gu Tian accepted the transfer.

He kept only the 10,000 he was entitled to and transferred the other 10,000 back.

Sang Yu smiled and shook her head: "Just accept it, this amount of money is nothing to me."

"I eat more than this in one meal."

Sang Yu spoke casually, and the facts were indeed as she said.

She spends tens of thousands on a single dinner, so this 10,000 yuan is nothing to her.

Gu Tian firmly replied, "No, I cannot accept a reward without merit."

"Sister Sang, your money didn't come from thin air."

"If you respect me, then accept this money. If you really want to take care of me, just order more of my food in the future."

Seeing how stubborn Gu Tian was, Sang Yu realized that her approach might have been somewhat inappropriate.

This is not her fault; in her social circle, friends often exchange gifts worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.

This amount of ten thousand is really nothing.

However, she underestimated the significance of 10,000 yuan in Gu Tian's mind.

They also underestimated Gu Tian's strong sense of pride.

However, once something has been sent out, it can't be taken back, otherwise it would be too disrespectful.

Sang Yu thought for a moment, pursed her lips, and said softly, "Then how about this, consider this ten thousand as a deposit with you first."

"Next time, I'll pay you for the whole day to offset the cost, then I won't have to pay, okay?"

Gu Tian nodded upon hearing this: "Okay, Sister Sang! Thank you so much, Sister Sang!"

"Sure~ Sure~ I'll log off now, bye-bye, God!"

"Bye-bye, Sister Sang~"

After hanging up the phone, Sang Yu returned the 10,000 yuan that Gu Tian had transferred.

This time, Gu Tian accepted it without any guilt.

He understood the principle that "he who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to pay his debts," and he didn't want to owe anyone anything.

"Hmm... there's still 20 million left. Who should we ask to protect it?"

"Go ask Brother Liu and Brother Xin if they're free, or just go for the 10 Yuan God of War in the lobby..."

Gu Tian was caught in a dilemma.

The escort mission is now only 20 million points away from completion, which will earn 10 attribute points.

We need to find a boss to protect us first!

Just as he was struggling with this decision... the phone rang.

Gu Tian picked up his phone and saw that it was PDD calling.

His eyes lit up instantly and he answered the phone:

"Hey? Brother Liu? I was just looking for you!"

Brother Liu's honest voice came from the other end of the phone: "Huh? What do you want?"

"Is there something you need?"

Gu Tian chuckled, "Of course I have to thank you! I've received and installed the computer! It's really awesome!"

"To thank Brother Liu! Log in now! Let me protect you for a few rounds!"

PDD's tone was somewhat strange: "Protect me, my ass?"

"Whether to say it or not..."

Gu Tian coughed twice: "Ahem! Don't worry about the details! Log in! Attack!"

PDD snorted: "You didn't even call to thank me after I just finished installing it?"

"You only remembered me after the game was over and you were out of business?"

Gu Tian retorted, "No, no! The order hasn't been settled yet! I'll contact Brother Liu as soon as it's settled!"

"Quick, quick! Call Xin Ge along!"

PDD joked, "What's wrong? You're addicted to protecting us?"

"Absolutely! I love hanging out with you two, Brother Liu and Brother Xin."

"Alright! Chen Xinzai! Get on board! Heaven must protect us!"

"They're here..."

In a short while, PDD and Xiaoxin were both logged in.

"Set off!"

Gu Tian had already prepared his gear and was ready to go as soon as the two joined the team.

On the matchmaking screen, PDD smiled and praised Gu Tianlai, "You're pretty good, kid!"

"You've made me proud again!"

"Brother Liu, what do you mean?" Gu Tian was a little confused. Did Sang Yu praise him?

PDD chuckled and said, "What do you mean? Didn't you kick Tianba, Lin Shu, and the other two out of the way?"

"They called to ask me about it right after you kicked the tree; does that mean they want to dig you up?"

"You little rascal, Lao Feiyu just finished digging up Lin Shu and he's already here digging again. He's really become a hot commodity!"

Gu Tian immediately understood and replied with a smile, "Good luck, good luck."

"I was lucky to kick Lin Shu and the others that time; the main reason was that they didn't know it was me."

"Otherwise, if they seriously attack all three at once, I really can't say for sure."

PDD shook his head: "You little brat..."

"This is truly the first time I've ever met someone who is both arrogant and humble."

Gu Tian chuckled: "Haha...that depends on who it is."

"Be arrogant when facing the enemy, but be humble towards Brother Liu and your brothers."

PDD laughed and cursed, "Damn, your flattery skills are way better than Chen Xinzai's!"

"hey-hey..."

"By the way, Boss Sang also mentioned you to me, saying you played very well and had a fantastic experience."

"I'll still order from you in the future, and I'll give you priority when I have big orders."

Gu Tian was very grateful upon hearing this and said, "Please thank Sister Sang for me."

He knew that both PDD Liu and Sang Yu were benefactors on his life's journey.

You must be truly grateful to those who help you rise to the top.

PDD said earnestly, "Work hard, I have high hopes for you."

"I will!"

And so, Gu Tian, ​​along with PDD and Xiao Xin, embarked on their space adventure once again.

With PDD and Xiaoxin on board, the strength is significantly higher than before.

However, Gu Tian is not afraid of high intensity.

The problem is that the strength is too low, and it might encounter those scoundrel potato mines and the ghost flow of the trenches, Mai Xiaowen.

Unsurprisingly, Gu Tian easily killed three escort teams and cleared the map in eight minutes with 13 kills.

PDD and Xiaoxin both enjoyed a feast worth over ten million.

"Package confirmed on its way, welcome home!"

[Escort mission complete, reward: 10 attribute points!]

Hearing the heavenly music-like prompts in his ears, Gu Tian felt a surge of joy in his body and mind.

"Awesome!! Finally finished!"

It was worth all the hard work he put in these past two days.

"Full response!"

Gu Tian had already planned his stat allocation clearly, putting all ten points into reaction.

[Skill point allocation successful! Your reaction speed has increased from 87 to 97!]

[View the panel!]

[Host: Gu Tian.]

[Game Understanding (Strategic Management, Tactical Decision-Making): 75]

"Forehead?"

After glancing at the panel, Gu Tian keenly sensed something was amiss.
