My organs are too abstract.

Chapter 104 Please let me join!

Xu Yuan stared intently at Gu Ya, his gaze unwavering.

"W--what's wrong?" Gu Ya felt uneasy under his gaze and became somewhat insecure. Remembering the dangers of staying up late that he had listed earlier, she nervously touched her cheek. "Is there something on my face?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Xu Yuan suddenly moved.

His steps were steady, each step like walking towards the most important podium in his life. He walked straight to Gu Ya, and an extremely intense passion emanated from every pore of his body.

"Comrade!"

Before Gu Ya could react, Xu Yuan swiftly and firmly grasped her right hand with both of his, his expression solemn and earnest: "Please, please let me join your glorious organization!"

Gu Ya was completely stunned, her mind reeling: "But—but didn't you just say that only idiots would join the Sickness Management Bureau?"

"A misunderstanding, a huge misunderstanding!"

Xu Yuan's expression remained unchanged as he forcefully shook her hand, his tone righteous and awe-inspiring, "In fact, I've had a dream of becoming a hero who defends peace since I was a child! Joining such a great organization as the Sickness Management Bureau is my lifelong dream and honor!"

As he spoke, his expression grew increasingly solemn, and he recalled the past with deep emotion: "I remember when I was three years old, watching cartoons where heroes punished evil and promoted good, I secretly vowed that when I grew up, I would protect those who deserved my protection!"

"When I was four years old, I saw Pleasant Goat bullying Bald Qiang. Fortunately, Calabash Brothers stood up for me, which brought tears to my eyes and made me laugh out loud."

Seeing Xu Yuan spouting nonsense and going on and on, as if he were recounting his life story from age three to eighteen, Gu Ya couldn't take it anymore and said with a troubled tone, "It's not that I don't want to help you, but whether or not I can join isn't up to me."

Xu Yuan abruptly stopped shaking the other person's hand, his initial enthusiasm instantly cooling down: "You don't have the final say? What do you mean?"

'

Gu Ya tried to pull her hand away but failed. She could only explain helplessly, "The Sickness Management Bureau's recruitment process is very rigorous. It involves long-term observation, competency assessment, psychological review, and background checks—"

There are several levels, and the specific rewards are directly linked to your ability rating, combat power level, and mission contributions; it's not a one-size-fits-all price.

"I see—" Xu Yuan accepted this explanation. That makes sense. If everyone started with millions, he would have suspected it was a scam.

Gu Ya thought for a moment and added, "However, if you really want to speed up the process, there are ways. If Captain Yu is willing to be your recommender and voucher, the review process will be much simpler, and the chances of passing will be much higher."

Upon hearing this, Xu Yuan's eyes lit up immediately.

He said with a hint of dissatisfaction, "Why didn't you say something so important sooner?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he decisively released Gu Ya's hand, his actions almost too swift. His previous enthusiastic demeanor seemed to have been nothing more than Gu Ya's illusion.

Xu Yuan didn't even glance at Gu Ya again, smoothly turned around, and strode towards Yu Hanqiu. His ability to change his expression was truly remarkable.

"Hanqiu, no, Captain Yu!" He greeted him with a warm, gentle smile.

"As you know, I've had a hero's dream since I was a child—I remember when I was five years old, I saw Ultraman Tiga teaming up with a group of kids to bully Gatanothor, and I felt so sorry for him that I wished I could lend Gatanothor a ray of light too—"

Gu Ya watched Xu Yuan's indifferent back as he walked away without looking back, and listened to him rattle off his job-hunting quotes to Yu Hanqiu, without even changing the original lines. She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "This is too realistic—"

As she spoke, she couldn't help but turn to look at Cheng Tuo: "And did he think I'd never seen cartoons before, and just kept talking nonsense, treating me like an idiot?"

Cheng Tuo nodded knowingly, then said seriously, "It is indeed a bit inaccurate. Theoretically speaking, Gatanothor itself cannot absorb light energy, so even if it were borrowed, it wouldn't be able to use it."

"?"

Gu looked at him in disbelief: "—Are you serious?"

On the other hand, Yu Hanqiu had actually gotten used to Xu Yuan's style of painting.

She remained calm and subtly steered the conversation back on track: "I'll keep an eye on joining the Surgery Bureau. It requires careful consideration. Let's get down to business. You asked me for paper and pen earlier; what are you planning to do?"

"Oh! I almost forgot if you hadn't mentioned it!"

Xu Yuan slapped his forehead, suddenly snapping back to reality.

Following the thought of his left hand, he immediately turned the notebook to a blank page and held it steadily with his right hand.

The next second, he tightened his five fingers on his left hand, neatly gripped the ballpoint pen, and began to draw quickly on the paper. The pen tip made a scratching sound, and almost in an instant, several images appeared on the paper.

The first thing to take shape was a black dog. It stood upright, strutting around like an old man taking a stroll, with a fierce look in its eyes and the number "401" on its head.

"Drawing with your left hand—you're left-handed?" Gu Ya asked curiously, leaning closer.

"What are you drawing?" Gu Ya looked at the lifelike figures on the paper, her eyes wide with surprise. "Wow! I never expected you to be such a good artist."

Gu Ya was rebuffed and said sullenly, "Tsk, so aloof."

"You don't understand."

Cheng Tu crossed his arms and looked at Xu Yuan with admiration. He slowly said, "It's normal for some people to be completely absorbed in their creations and forget themselves. He is completely immersed in his own artistic world right now, blocking out all external distractions. This is a sign that he has entered a state of mind."

Gu Ya looked surprised: "How did you know?"

"Because that's how I am when I'm making dolls." Cheng Tuo looked at Xu Yuan, who was meticulous, and couldn't help but nod in admiration. "It seems that he has a deep love and focus on painting, which is why he has such a presence. This kid is not simple."

"So that's how it is." Gu Ya knew that Cheng Tuo's illness was related to the doll, so she believed him and her opinion changed immediately upon hearing this.

Looking at Xu Yuan painting with his eyes down, I felt that he was indeed different. His eyes were focused and serious, calm and reserved, and he really had the aura of a master. I couldn't help but nod in agreement: "I have to say, he looks quite handsome when he is focused."

Watching the two men analyze the situation so seriously, Yu Hanqiu felt that they were overthinking it.

She stepped forward and asked softly, "What are you drawing?"

"Captain Yu," Gu Ya couldn't help but lower her voice to remind him, "He's probably immersed in the world of art right now—"

Before she could finish speaking, Xu Yuan interrupted her.

"You mean this?" Xu Yuan, who had seemed lost in thought just moments before, had turned around without stopping his hand movements.

He looked at Yu Hanqiu with a beaming smile, "She should be my neighbor on the fourth floor."

Gu Ya was stunned: "You—you can hear us?"

"What are you talking about?" Xu Yuan glanced at her as if she were an idiot. "I'm not deaf, and you're all speaking so loudly, how could I not hear you?"

Gu Ya asked, puzzled, "Then why did you ignore me just now?"

"At first, it was because you were too noisy."

Xu Yuan explained in a serious tone, "Later, when you guys praised me so lavishly, I unconsciously started to get a little carried away. Oh, right—"

He turned to look at Cheng Tuo, his face full of anticipation, and said, "Dude, could you say a few more compliments to me? I really like hearing your words."

"?"

The appreciative smile on Cheng Tuo's face instantly froze completely.

Gu Ya was speechless and couldn't help but ask, "Then why did you respond to Captain Yu as soon as she spoke?"

"How can that be the same?" Xu Yuan retorted confidently. "Han Qiu is my future boss, the one who will pay my salary. Can you compare?"

Gu Ya: "————"

Cheng Tuo: "————"
