One person: Lu family bodyguard, who shattered Longhu Mountain with a single palm strike.

Lu Family Manor.

Passing through the main courtyard with its blue bricks and gray tiles, there is a large lawn and martial arts training ground behind it.

Five bodyguards in black stood in a row, each one burly and with their eyes fixed straight ahead.

Across from them, a pink-haired, bear-like girl with pigtails crossed her arms, her face scrunched up, clearly unhappy.

"Dad, is it really necessary to hire a bodyguard for me?"

Lu Linglong tilted her head and looked at the middle-aged man beside her.

Lu Qing stood with her hands behind her back, her face very serious: "There's no room for discussion on this. Things aren't peaceful outside lately, and the world of supernatural beings is a mixed bag. As a girl, you need someone to accompany you when you go out."

"I'm not a child anymore, and besides, I'm not someone to be trifled with. Who would dare to mess with me?"

Lu Linglong tugged at Lu Qing's sleeve and shook it.

Lu Qing said calmly, "It's precisely because you think no one will dare to cause trouble that you need someone to follow you. Stop acting like a spoiled child."

Lu Linglong blinked, knowing that she couldn't persuade her father this time.

Her eyes darted around, glancing at the five men in black suits in front of her, and she suddenly smiled.

"Okay, hiring bodyguards is fine. But five is a bit excessive, isn't it?"

"I went out for a walk and five big men followed me. People who didn't know better would think I was leading a group to collect protection money. It was incredibly embarrassing."

"Besides, this doesn't fit the low-key family tradition of the Lu family, does it?"

Lu Qing frowned and thought for a moment.

Although the Lu family is one of the four families, the old master Lu Jin really doesn't like extravagance.

"Okay." Lu Qing nodded. "Then you pick one."

Lu Linglong's eyes lit up, and the corners of her mouth turned up.

She turned around, held up one finger, and said with a smile, "Since you're here to protect me, you at least have to be able to beat me, right?"

"Whoever can beat me stays."

"If even I can't beat them, who's going to protect whom when something happens?"

Lu Qing could tell at a glance that she was deliberately making things difficult for her.

This girl isn't picking bodyguards; she clearly wants to beat them all up.

However, the Lu family had already investigated the backgrounds of these people, and with him personally overseeing things, they weren't worried about any trouble.

He looked at the applicants: "What did you say?"

The burly man at the top of the list stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lu, now that we're here, we're naturally willing to accept the assessment."

"That's good."

Lu Linglong moved her wrists, and her knuckles cracked softly twice.

She smiled and beckoned with her finger: "Don't worry, big brother, I'll go easy on you."

The burly man's face twitched.

Why does this sound so awkward?

Lu Qing stepped aside: "Let's stop here."

"Okay!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Lu Linglong pushed off with her feet and shot out like a nimble swallow.

……

The fourth position on the team.

A young bodyguard suddenly appeared dazed.

Lin Mo stared at the scene before him, his pupils contracting slightly. He felt as if he had been pricked by a needle, and his whole body froze on the spot.

who am I?

where am I?

Is this still in China?

The next second, a flood of memories rushed into my mind.

The wisdom accumulated in past lives is fully awakened at this moment.

He remembered.

After graduating from university, I encountered an economic downturn and it was difficult to find a job.

He saw on a local website that the Lu family was offering a high-paying job for bodyguards, with meals and accommodation provided, social insurance and housing fund contributions, and a monthly salary of 30,000 yuan.

Monthly salary of 30,000.

Those four words were like a golden light to him at the time.

So he came.

But the Lu family is no ordinary wealthy family.

This is a renowned Qi-refining family with a history spanning thousands of years, one of the four great families in the world of extraordinary beings.

This world has the Celestial Master's Mansion, Wudang Mountain, Na Du Tong, and all sorts of extraordinary people with supernatural powers.

They are collectively known as the Extraordinary People.

Lin Mo himself can also be considered an extraordinary person.

It's just that its origins are a bit shabby.

When he was a child, he was doing random Tai Chi exercises with an old man in the park and somehow gained Qi.

Later, I found a book on hard qigong at a used bookstore and practiced it for several years.

No sect, no master, no backing.

He's considered somewhat capable among ordinary people, but if you put him in the proper circle of supernatural beings, he's just a rogue cultivator who's barely out of the beginner's village.

Lin Mo broke out in a cold sweat.

Others who transmigrate are either invincible or reborn as powerful figures.

When it was his turn, even after awakening his innate wisdom, he still had to work as a bodyguard to earn a living.

The main focus is on authenticity.

As for making money through unorthodox methods using supernatural means?

Don't even think about it.

There is an official organization in this land called NaDuTong.

On the surface, it's a courier company, but behind the scenes, it manages people with supernatural abilities.

Anyone who dares to use any means to disrupt social order will be immediately checked by our staff.

At best, they'll be given a warning; at worst, they'll be sent to jail.

Lin Mo swallowed hard, secretly took out his cracked phone, and glanced at his WeChat balance.

102.5 yuan.

well.

They are very stably poor.

To make matters worse, the landlady in the urban village just issued an ultimatum yesterday.

If he can't pay the rent within five days, he'll be forced to sleep under a bridge.

Lin Mo took a deep breath.

This job, with room and board included and a monthly salary of 30,000, is a must-take!

But when he looked up at the field, his lips twitched immediately.

call--

A strong wind blew in my face.

Even from several meters away, he could feel the pain in his cheek.

Lu Linglong was extremely fast and decisive in her attacks, each move powerful and heavy.

Those fair and delicate arms could generate a frighteningly powerful punch.

The burly man, weighing 200 pounds, was like a sandbag in front of her. After several collisions, she pressed his chest down with one hand.

Immediately afterwards, a whip kick slammed into the strong man's waist.

boom!

It exploded with a muffled thud.

The burly man was sent flying, sliding more than five meters across the grass before coming to a stop, clutching his waist and unable to get up for a long time.

Lin Mo's eyes twitched.

Could a human have made that noise?

Who can stand this?

Lu Linglong shook her wrist and only breathed a slight sigh of relief.

"Want another one? Next one."

Less than two minutes later, the second bodyguard was also punched in the shoulder by her, staggered a few steps, and sat down on the ground to admit defeat.

Lin Mo felt a chill in his heart.

It’s over.

It seems like I can't handle this job.

Lu Linglong may look like a cute girl, but she is actually a legitimate member of a prestigious family, practicing the Quanzhen School of martial arts, and possessing abilities related to blood.

With my limited skills, what can I possibly use to fight?

Do you want to take my head?

If he had known this was the world of "Under One Person", he should have applied for jobs everywhere.

Even starting as a deliveryman is better than getting beaten up here!

"Next."

Lu Linglong's clear voice rang out again.

The third bodyguard took a deep breath and stepped out.

This man was even stronger than the previous two, with frighteningly thick arms.

"It's a rudimentary family skill, Iron Wire Fist. Miss Lu, please excuse my poor attempt."

Lu Linglong laughed and said, "Don't be shy, I'm serious."

"drink!"

The bodyguard's arms jerked, his muscles bulged, and his aura sank downwards as he slammed his arms down like iron rods.

Bang!

bang bang!

Lu Linglong neither dodged nor avoided the attack, but met it head-on.

The two men's arms collided repeatedly, the sound not like flesh colliding, but like two solid pieces of wood slamming together.

Lin Mo's teeth ached from listening to that.

This guy had mastered Iron Wire Fist, and his hand bones were as hard as iron, but he could only manage a few rounds with Lu Linglong.

He truly deserves to be a member of the Lu family who has practiced the Quanzhen Neidan Gong (Complete True Internal Alchemy Technique).

I'm fourth in line, and he's next.

Why would you use your skinny, untrained arms to bump into something?

I'm afraid they won't be able to withstand even one move.

"Let's get out of here, our lives are more important..."

Lin Mo muttered to himself, completely giving up the idea of ​​joining the company.

You should go to the labor market and find a day-wage job.

I'll do anything: deliver food, move bricks, or work as a security guard, as long as I can at least pay the rent.

Just as he lifted his heel, preparing to slip away unnoticed—

[Ding! Host's awakened innate wisdom detected. System is activating...]

[Successfully linked to the 9-to-5 attendance system. We are dedicated to serving you!]

A cold, mechanical voice suddenly rang in Lin Mo's mind.

Lin Mo froze, his foot hovering in mid-air.

system?

The cheat system that's standard for time travelers has finally arrived!

He almost burst out laughing on the spot.

This system emphasizes legal working hours and punctual departures. As long as the host clocks in and out on time, they will receive martial arts manuals, years of cultivation, and special rewards from the martial arts world.

[System Requirements: During working hours, the host must remain within a 100-meter radius of the employer.]

[If you take on tasks without confirming additional compensation after get off work, it will be considered unpaid overtime, and your daily sign-in bonus will be forfeited.]

Lin Mo: "?"

The excitement that had just begun to rise was instantly abruptly halted.

What does it mean to work legally?

What does it mean when unpaid overtime bonuses are voided?

Are you the system administrator or the HR manager?

This is so typical of working-class people!

Before he could finish complaining, the system voice continued to sound.

[The host is currently in the "job interview and trial period" stage, which is considered as being in a working state.]

[Temporary mission issued: Successfully recruited as Lu Linglong's personal bodyguard.]

[Task Reward: Daily check-in feature officially launched.]

[A welcome gift package is now being distributed for first-time sign-in employees.]

[Congratulations, host, you have received a reward: a century's worth of pure internal energy!]

boom--

The moment the system's voice fell, a torrent seemed to explode in Lin Mo's dantian.

A powerful force surged through his limbs and bones.

After that internal force entered his body, it did not conflict with his original Qi. Instead, it seemed to have found a channel and quickly merged into his meridians, transforming into a more profound and solid power.

Bone fever.

Muscle swelling.

Even breathing became long and deep.

A full century of refined internal energy is cleansing his body.

Lin Mo quickly lowered his head, pretending to adjust his cuffs.

Not far away, Lu Qing seemed to sense something and glanced in their direction.

Lin Mo's heart tightened, and he forcefully suppressed the surging aura.

After a moment, he slowly raised his hand and looked at his slightly trembling fingertips.

I was just about to run away.

just now……

He suddenly realized that this job with a monthly salary of 30,000 might not be so bad as to not compete for it.

……
