It turns out I'm a second-generation demon.
Chapter 18: One Waste with Two Pitfalls
Now that things have come to this, he has to consider the true nature of his relationship with his great-grandmother. After spending time together, he has discovered that his great-grandmother is not some kind of personal grandfather or family guardian spirit. Her true identity is: Ancestor!
In comparison, I, this grandson of a traitor from n generations later, am the baby that my ancestors always carried with them.
It's important to distinguish between primary and secondary priorities.
From now on, I'll probably have to obediently be a silly little servant sitting under my great-grandmother's thumb.
He had only known about the existence of bloodline for a week, and he was still a complete novice, let alone knowing how to awaken it. Next year he would be 22 years old (by Chinese reckoning), and what if his great-grandmother got upset and threw a tantrum on the sofa, saying, "You great-grandson are so unfilial and disobedient, I'll wait for your next generation"?
Then I picked him up and slid him out the window...
Li Xianyu died.
The Li family line ended thereafter.
Just as Li Xianyu was about to ask about salary and benefits, his great-grandmother tugged at his sleeve again, frowning slightly, "Li Xianyu, I'm hungry, I've said it so many times..."
Li Xianyu lowered his voice: "Don't be ridiculous, we can't afford the food here. We can't even pay off our debts by washing dishes."
Grandma swallowed hard: "It looks so delicious."
Li Xianyu: "Even if it tastes good, we can't eat it. We have to accept our fate. Who told us to be such a poor, destitute family like ours?"
The great-grandmother disagreed: "My Li family was once a prestigious and respected family."
Li Xianyu covered his face: "Great-grandmother, my Great Qing Dynasty has really been gone for over a hundred years!"
Grandma snorted, puffed out her cheeks, and sulked.
The doorman and the Thunder King exchanged a glance, and the latter coughed and said, "Our restaurant is open to employees free of charge..."
As soon as he finished speaking, he noticed that two pairs of eyes on the other side lit up with a "whoosh," two pairs of large flashlights.
Li Xianyu said solemnly, "Grandma, actually, I'm hungry too."
Grandma nodded twice: "Go order food quickly. Let's eat enough for three days, and then we can save on food expenses for the next three days."
Li Xianyu: "Good idea."
The abundant meal was quickly served, and the grandfather and grandson's ferocious eating habits made the Thunder King and the gatekeeper feel a pang of sadness.
The doorman said, "Didn't your dad leave you 200,000 yuan in savings? Why are you eating cornbread for three months straight?"
Upon hearing this, Li Xianyu was overcome with grief: "Gatekeeper, our 200,000 yuan savings are gone. We've been eating fried rice noodles for two days now, without the fried eggs."
The doorman asked curiously, "That's it? Did you get scammed, kid?"
What's even scarier than staged accidents is your great-grandmother.
Li Xianyu muttered, "I'm so stupid, really. I only knew she was a great-grandmother, but I didn't know she was a spendthrift great-grandmother with a screw loose."
Grandma was furious. Without even looking up, she continued to wolf down her food, and with one of her small hands, she gave Li Xianyu a twenty-hit scalp slap.
"By the way," said the Thunder King, "the salary for clerical staff is eight thousand a month, and interns get half that. As for you, since you're still in school, we'll treat you as a part-time worker, and your salary will be two thousand a month."
two thousand?
Li Xianyu looked up and swallowed his food forcefully: "So little? Two thousand yuan isn't even enough for my great-grandmother to have a pancake."
The Thunder King shrugged.
The doorman suggested, "Then you could consider joining the law enforcement department..."
Li Xianyu waved his hand: "There's no need to say anything. Two thousand it is. I'm a man of principle."
The doorman chuckled: "The law enforcement department's salary is 100,000 a month, and the intern's is 50,000 a month."
"Ding!"
The fork slammed onto the plate with a crisp sound.
Li Xianyu's face was blank: "How much? How much?"
Thunder King: "A full-time employee in the Enforcement Department earns 100,000 a month, and that's just the salary of a regular employee. Interns earn 50,000 a month. After all, the Enforcement Department is inherently dangerous, and since you've chosen an administrative role..."
Li Xianyu waved his hand and said seriously, "There's no need to say anything more. I have always believed that with great power comes great responsibility. Since God has allowed me to inherit my great-grandmother's legacy, I am willing to join the law enforcement department in order to maintain order and for world peace."
The Thunder King asked in bewilderment, "What about the principles?"
Li Xianyu's face radiated a righteous spirit even more awe-inspiring than that of the working people: "What do personal principles matter for the sake of world peace?"
Grandma put down her spoon and clapped her little hands.
Thunder King opened his mouth to speak, but Li Xianyu suddenly interrupted: "By the way, do ethnic minorities receive welfare subsidies or something? After all, you are a state-owned enterprise, and my Li family should be Manchu. I'm applying for my own welfare and allowances."
"No," Grandma blinked and corrected, "My Li family is Han Chinese, and has been Han Chinese for generations. If we were Manchu, we wouldn't have been wiped out back then... Oh right, actually my Li family is Manchu."
When Grandma saw Li Xianyu winking at her, she immediately changed her tune.
The Thunder King was shocked. How could a peerless warrior so readily betray his ancestors for a little benefit?
"Who told you that state-owned enterprises have preferential policies for ethnic minorities? Besides, we only register based on ID card information," Thunder King politely declined the female warrior spirit's offer. He then added, "After dinner, I'll have the gatekeeper take you to sign your employment contracts. During your internship, you'll handle some trivial and strange events. You won't need to get involved in tasks involving bloodlines. Secondly, given that Senior Li's strength is sealed, you lack the ability to protect yourselves. I'll arrange for someone to mentor you. From now on, you don't need to be too reserved when working with the company's seniors. The bloodlines in our company have always been friendly and loving, everyone is talented, and they speak very kindly, just like family."
Suddenly, a commotion broke out in the revolving restaurant.
Suddenly, a young man inexplicably overturned a table and started spewing fire everywhere, engulfing most of the revolving restaurant in flames and causing chaos among the crowd.
"Damn it, the fire-breathing kid's mental illness hasn't fully recovered yet, who let him out?"
"Are all the guys in the medical department useless?"
"Damn it, this fire is all over my face."
"My eighteen-meter-long eyelashes were licked away by fire, so I'll fight him to the death."
"Stop him quickly..."
Several men rushed towards the raging flames, trying to stop the crazed man, but were forced back by the intense heat.
The crazed man continued to breathe fire everywhere, shouting, "It's not me who's wrong, it's the world!"
There are countless scapegoats in the world, and half of them are ministers.
The doorman took out his wallet and was about to pull out his leather rope when a girl came running from the east corner, leaping high into the air with a brick in her hand.
"Bang!"
Braving the raging flames, she slammed a brick into the crazed man's head. The man's head throbbed with pain, and he collapsed to the ground with a groan.
The doorman manipulated the leather rope, instantly binding the man in a perfect turtle shell bondage.
so beautiful!
The girl carrying the brick caught the eye of the seasoned driver Li Xianyu. She had beautiful features, a tall figure, and a delicate oval face, just like her great-grandmother.
However, compared to her great-grandmother's beauty mark that added vibrancy and brightness, this young lady possessed a purity that remained untainted by the mud.
Although pointed chins and oval faces are now considered "internet celebrity faces," those internet celebrities all have too much of a worldly air about them, and no matter how pretty their faces are, they can't be considered top-notch.
A true beauty's temperament surpasses her appearance.
This girl's temperament is like a pure white lotus flower that rises from the mud unsullied.
The Thunder King ordered his men to carry the crazed man away, then beckoned to the girl: "Sanwu, come here for a moment."
A tall, slender girl with long legs walked over, her voice clear and melodious: "Uncle Zhongma, it's been a long time. Your Majesty, what can I do for you?"
The doorman was exasperated: "How many times have I told you? You don't need to say the prefix out loud."
The innocent-looking girl nodded sincerely, "Understood, Mr. Stallion Gatekeeper."
The Thunder King patted the doorman on the shoulder, giving him a comforting look, and then turned to say, "I was just looking for you. This is a new employee at the company. He'll be training you for the next three months."
The innocent-looking girl immediately turned her gaze to Li Xianyu, tilted her head as if recalling something, and then her eyes lit up: "Oh, it's you."
Li Xianyu: "???"
The doorman coughed and changed the subject: "Sanwu, Li Xianyu is in your hands now. My mission is complete. The boss said he'll have a new mission for me soon."
"Gentleman," Li Xianyu said, "what was that person doing just now? Could he breathe fire?"
If I'm not mistaken, that's a bloodline's innate ability?
This was the first time he had seen them. At the same time, Li Xianyu glanced at the Thunder King with suspicion. They were all talented people, and their words were very insightful. Whether it was the crazy man or the beautiful white lotus, they were all quite something.
But what is meant by being loving and affectionate is actually getting angry at the slightest disagreement and getting something in your face?
"That was an accident. The fire-breathing kid has mental issues. He suffered a mental trauma due to an accident, and after more than half a year of psychological treatment, we thought he had recovered, but unexpectedly, he suddenly relapsed. Alas, it's all Long Aotian's fault," the Thunder King explained. "As for fire-breathing, that's his innate ability. Ancient demons possess supernatural abilities, and these abilities are passed down to their bloodline along with their genes. My superpower is manipulating lightning, the doorman's superpower is telekinesis, and Sanwu's ability is 'precision strike'—no matter what he throws, it will definitely hit someone."
Seemingly to cooperate with the Thunder King, the white lotus girl didn't even turn her head, casually tossing a brick that landed precisely on the madman's head with a thud.
The man, still unconscious, kicked his legs in response.
This is practically the archetype of human figure drawing.
"I'll add you to the company's bloodline group later, and you can download the details from the group files," said the Thunder King.
Li Xianyu nodded and asked curiously, "Grandma, what is the innate ability of our Li family?"
The great-grandmother solemnly said, "Strengthening! Any tangible matter can be strengthened by the Li family. The extent of the enhancement depends on the bloodline's cultivation level. Before the Li family declined, it was a renowned family of weapon refiners in the bloodline world."
Li Xianyu: "So you're a blacksmith?"
The great-grandmother gave her great-grandson an angry slap on the head.
The Thunder King exclaimed, "It is precisely because we are a renowned family of weapon refiners that we are able to forge such an unparalleled battle spirit that has stood the test of time."
Li Xianyu extended his hand to the white lotus girl and said, "Hello, my name is Li Xianyu. I hope you will give me your guidance in the future."
White Lotus Girl: "Hello."
Li Xianyu: "..."
The doorman leaned over and whispered, "Don't mind her, this girl's got a screw loose. Come on, let's go downstairs and sign the contract, we can talk as we walk."
Are you out of your mind?
Li Xianyu turned pale. He already had a great-grandmother with a screw loose, and now he had to have another one.
