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

"Ding! Current time detected as 9:00 AM. Host has successfully clocked in for work!"

A crisp system notification sounded in my mind.

Lin Mo sat in the restaurant of the Lu family manor, looking very energetic. There were already four empty steamers of xiaolongbao stacked in front of him.

He was holding a large, golden, crispy fried dough stick in his hand, eating it in big bites, and then casually picked up a bowl of soy milk and took a big gulp.

Last night, he personally killed four Quanxing demons, and even went to the back mountain and riverbank in the middle of the night to experience a one-stop service of crushing bones to ashes.

But at this moment, Lin Mo's face was rosy, his appetite was great, and he was in an exceptionally good state, without even a trace of dark circles under his eyes.

Lu Jin, who was sitting across from him at the dining table, put down his chopsticks.

The experienced elder frowned slightly, his gaze fixed on Lin Mo.

Lu Jin knew very well that when someone kills someone with their own hands for the first time, even if they pretend not to care on the surface, they will definitely feel a great sense of moral guilt in their heart.

The fear of bloody scenes can often cause people to lose their appetite for days on end, or even have nightmares all night long.

He felt that Lin Mo's current ravenous eating was definitely a way to hide his inner panic.

Lu Jin sighed and spoke earnestly.

"Lin Mo, you did the right thing last night, don't overthink it."

"Those wicked people from Quanxing are not worth mourning. Any righteous sect can capture them and touch them at will. No one from Na Du Tong will bother you."

"You're so young, and this is the first time you've experienced something so bloody. Don't feel guilty."

Lu Lin, who was standing to the side, quickly nodded in agreement, put down her chopsticks, and prepared to share her experience.

"Brother Lin, my great-grandfather was right. The first time I got into a serious fight with someone, I was also upset for several days."

"These are all hurdles that we superhumans must overcome. You don't need to feel ashamed. If you have something on your mind, you can feel better if you say it out loud."

Lin Mo had just swallowed the last bite of the fried dough stick.

He tore off a tissue to wipe his mouth and looked up at the two of them with a sincere expression.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu, please rest assured, I am perfectly healthy."

"I went back to my room last night and fell asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. I slept like a log and didn't even have a dream."

Lu Jin and Lu Lin exchanged a glance.

They both saw disbelief in each other's eyes.

Lin Mo ignored what they thought, changed the subject, rubbed his hands together expectantly, and leaned forward.

"However, Mr. Lu, there's something I need to ask you."

"Last night, when I was dealing with those Quanxing members, their blood splattered and stained my pajamas. Later, I went to get gasoline to burn them, and then ran to the river to scatter their ashes. It was really exhausting."

"I got up in the middle of the night to deal with this, does that count as a work injury?"

"Can I get reimbursed for the cost of that pajama set, and the shower fee for all the overtime I've done?"

The restaurant fell silent instantly.

Lu Jin's prepared psychological counseling remarks got stuck in her throat.

His wrinkled old face turned bright red, and the corners of his mouth twitched uncontrollably.

Lu Lin swallowed back the words of comfort that were about to come out, her teeth hitting her tongue and she gasped in pain.

The Lu family grandfather and grandson stared in disbelief at the expectant young man in front of them.

They were absolutely certain of one thing.

This kid is not only a monster with unfathomable strength, but also an extremely oblivious and clueless office worker!

The person was so scared from killing someone for the first time that they wet their pants.

Not only did he eat heartily after his first murder, but all he could think about was getting his boss to reimburse him for the cost of his soiled pajamas!

Lu Jin rubbed her temples hard, unsure of what expression to make.

He waved weakly at the butler waiting beside him.

"Report!"

"Old Liu, reimburse him for everything!"

"Don't even mention a pair of pajamas, even if he wanted to replace his entire wardrobe, the Lu family could afford it!"

Lin Mo's eyes lit up, and he immediately stood up straight.

"Thank you, boss! You're so generous!"

After breakfast, Lu Jin and Lu Lin changed their clothes and said they had some private business to attend to before leaving the Lu family manor.

In the huge villa, only Lu Linglong, who was bored because the school was on holiday, was left.

There's also Lin Mo, dutifully standing in the corner of the living room, his hands clasped together, acting as a security statue.

Lu Linglong slumped on the sofa, rolling around in boredom.

She took out her phone and made a voice call to her best friend, Zhi Jinhua, intending to ask her out shopping.

"Flowers, come out and play!"

The sound of typing came from the other end of the phone.

"No, Linglong, I'm in the lab researching right now. My supervisor is pressuring me, so I can't leave."

Lu Linglong hung up the phone and then dialed Bai Shixue's number again.

"Little White! Since the flowers aren't coming, let's go shopping together!"

"Oh, my dear lady, I'm busy making money by reselling information, I don't have time to go shopping. Next time, next time for sure!"

After being rejected repeatedly, Lu Linglong threw her phone away in frustration.

But she really didn't want to be bored alone, so she rolled her eyes and decisively opened a small group on WeChat called "Lu Family Class".

She pressed the voice button, her voice full of energy: "Comrades! The weather is so nice today, let's all go out and have some fun!"

The message was sent just two seconds ago.

The group's number one sycophant, "Canglong," replied instantly.

"Go wherever you want! I'll take care of everything Linglong wants to do!"

"For Linglong, we'll brave any danger! Brothers, let's go!"

Immediately afterwards, other members in the group followed suit.

"Let's go, let's go! It's rare to have Linglong take the lead!"

"No problem, it's on me today!"

The screen was filled with positive responses, instantly bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

Seeing that a grand gathering of friends was about to take shape, Lu Linglong smiled with satisfaction and quickly typed.

"Great! Let's go to Tianjin today!"

After this message was sent.

The group chat, which had been bustling with activity and flooded with messages, suddenly fell into dead silence.

The chat interface is completely frozen.

A full half minute passed before a few messages slowly appeared in the group chat.

Hidden Dragon: "Oh dear, the limited edition figure I ordered just arrived today, and I have to be home to sign for it! Sorry, Linglong!"

Zero: "My master suddenly told me to go into seclusion to practice my skills, but I really can't leave!"

hope, who is 1.5 meters tall: "Currently on a date, please do not disturb."

Seeing the screen full of excuses that were so perfunctory, Lu Linglong was so angry that her pink pigtails were trembling.

She gripped her phone tightly, gritting her teeth: "Those treacherous bastards! Would a trip to Tianjin really kill them?!"

Left with no other choice, Lu Linglong turned her head and stared at Lin Mo, who was standing ramrod straight beside her.

She jumped up from the sofa and decisively declared, "Lin Mo! Since none of them are going, let's go to Tianjin just the two of us today!"

Lin Mo, who was in standby mode, was instantly activated.

His eyes instantly became extremely alert as he looked at Lu Linglong and skillfully posed a series of professional questions.

"Miss Lu."

"First, does cross-provincial travel fall under the scope of the accompanying security contract?"

"Secondly, who will pay for the high-speed rail ticket to Tianjin?"

"Third, will meals and travel expenses along the way be reimbursed?"

Lu Linglong was so angry that she laughed. She walked a few steps to Lin Mo, pointed at his nose, and spoke irritably.

"All-inclusive!"

"Your food, drink, sanitation, transportation costs—all of it is on me!"

"We won't deduct any money from your salary, and you won't need to pay a single penny, okay?"

Upon hearing the financial backer's verbal assurance, Lin Mo's wariness vanished instantly.

He immediately put on his warm, professional smile and deftly walked over to pick up Lu Linglong's bag from the sofa.

"Thank you for your lavish hospitality, sir. Bodyguard Lin Mo will be at your service, ensuring a safe and comfortable trip to Tianjin. When shall we depart?"

Lu Linglong rolled her eyes, too lazy to bother with this guy whose mind was only filled with money and contracts.

The two took a car straight to the high-speed rail station and boarded a train to Tianjin.

Upon arriving in Tianjin, Lu Linglong immediately embarked on an intense period of eating, drinking, and having fun.

Lin Mo perfectly played the role of an emotionless bag-carrying machine and full-time bodyguard.

From the ancient cultural street to the Italian style area, from Goubuli steamed buns to jianbing guozi (Chinese crepes).

Aside from not having to pay out of his own pocket, Lin Mo can be said to be fulfilling his duties as a working person to the best of his ability.

Finally, it was five o'clock in the afternoon.

The two were walking on a bustling pedestrian night market street.

"Ding! Current time detected as 17:00!"

"Host has successfully clocked out!"

"No unpaid overtime was worked today; professional performance was perfect!"

"Congratulations, host, you have received the daily check-in reward: Iron Palm Technique!"

The mechanical sound fell into my mind the instant.

A powerful and unparalleled martial arts memory was deeply etched into Lin Mo's mind.

The techniques for generating power, the flow of energy, and the trajectory of the palms—all the essence of Iron Palm Kung Fu—was instantly mastered and fully integrated at this moment.

Lin Mo stood in the crowd and subtly clenched his hands.

A faint, bluish-black luster, like that of raw iron, flashed across the surface of his palm before quickly disappearing.

He could clearly feel that the pure internal energy that had been accumulating within him for a hundred years had finally found the perfect outlet!

Before this, although he had over a hundred years of internal strength, he relied entirely on his strength to throw bricks when fighting enemies, making his methods extremely simplistic.

If you encounter a skilled or defensively adept individual, it's hard to say how quickly you can take them down.

But it's different now.

Iron Palm Skill is an extremely powerful palm technique in Jin Yong's martial arts novels, with power no less than the Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms, and its exquisiteness is even greater.

Combined with the continuous flow of pure internal energy accumulated over a century within his body.

Now, with just one slap, he can turn even a solid iron ingot into a flat iron disc on the spot!

The weakness in close combat has been completely overcome.

Lin Mo suppressed his inner elation and remained outwardly calm.

Lu Linglong, who was walking ahead, stopped in front of a stall selling candied hawthorns and turned around to wave at him.

"Lin Mo, come over here to pay! And hold these skewers for me while you're at it!"

Lin Mo snapped out of his daze, strode over to scan the code, and while paying, dutifully reminded, "Here comes the boss. Just so you know, this bill was deducted directly from the 'Tianjin Special Tourism Fund' you allocated to me before I left. That's not over the limit, is it?"

Lu Linglong shoved two strings of candied hawthorns into his hands, annoyed: "You're taking all my money! Even eating them won't shut you up!"

Lin Mo took a bite of the candied hawthorn, the crunching sound filling his heart with sweetness.

With money to spend and cultivation techniques to acquire, this paid vacation is simply amazing.
