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

Lin Mo watched Lu Linglong stomp her feet and run away, shrugged, and slowly walked back to the guest room.

"These days, you get scolded for diligently fulfilling a contract and providing emotional value," he muttered to himself.

He closed the door and locked it. Lin Mo withdrew his Nine Yang True Qi, and the ever-flowing warm current within his body completely stabilized in his dantian.

With his maxed-out divine skill combined with 109 years of pure internal energy, he now even has the illusion that even if he takes on three consecutive night shift outsourcing jobs, he can still clock in at 9 a.m. with a rosy complexion the next day.

Of course, it would be best to avoid working overtime if possible.

Unless you pay more.

At the same time.

Tianjin, office of the North China Regional Manager.

Xu Xiang sat behind his desk, the ashtray beside him overflowing with cigarette butts.

Two newly delivered reports were spread out on the table: one was a battle damage assessment of the abandoned underground parking garage mission in the south of the city, and the other was Lin Mo's resume.

The battle damage report concluded simply: the target possessed top-tier close-combat suppression capabilities, extremely strong resistance to poison, miasma, and corpse energy, and was able to remain alive and intact under high-pressure conditions. In other words, this person not only fought well, but also knew how to control their attacks.

After reading the first document, Xu Xiang opened the document on the right.

This is Lin Mo's life resume, which the company's intelligence network dug up overnight.

From the hospital where he was born and his elementary school report card to his part-time job records and college failing grades, everything was clearly recorded. There was even a record of the supermarket receipts from when Lin Mo couldn't afford the 500 yuan rent and had to eat instant noodles.

Clean.

He was as normal as could be; he was just an ordinary, poor student through and through.

Xu Xiang stared at the two reports, tapping his fingers on the table, and couldn't help but mutter, "How did this kid train? Did he start meditating from the womb?"

Remembering Feng Baobao's line, "One slap could make me skinny," Xu Xiang shook his head, but then couldn't help but smile.

He was exceptionally skilled and loved money more than anything.

This is an extremely perfect, greedy, and super-powerful henchman!

Last night's mission in the underground parking garage was actually a test of Lin Mo's limits, a trap he had set to see if Lin Mo would accept it and how far he could go in the face of the All-Powerful.

The results are surprisingly good!

He's a man of his word as long as you pay him; he's strict about rules and never oversteps boundaries. If, in the future, the baby is unavailable, or there are dirty or strenuous jobs that the company can't handle, we can outsource them entirely to him.

As for that exorbitant overtime pay?

Xu Xiang picked up his thermos, took a sip of goji berry water, and smiled slyly.

The company is big and powerful. They can just set up a project, apply for a "special field work allowance" or "non-linear editing expert assistance fee," and the money will come out as soon as they leave on company funds. Although it is against the rules, it is still worth it compared to the benefits of hiring this super expert.

This deal was incredibly profitable.

Just as Xu Xiang was plotting how to trick Lin Mo next, the office door was suddenly pushed open.

"Mr. Xu! Something's happened!" A field supervisor rushed in, sweating profusely, without even knocking.

Xu Xiang frowned and put down his thermos: "What's the panic? Is the sky falling?"

The field supervisor swallowed hard, his voice strained: "The top-secret archives... have been burgled! They've been illegally accessed, and a classified old file has been leaked!"

Xu Xiang's face instantly darkened: "Which one?"

"Number 073." The supervisor's voice was even lower. "The dossier index of that mysterious expert from seven years ago, and a partial summary."

Click!

The thermos in Xu Xiang's hand was crushed and deformed, and the scalding hot goji berry water spilled all over the table.

He suddenly stood up and slammed his hand on the table, making the entire desk vibrate.

But the next second, everything went black before his eyes, his body swayed, and he could only support himself on the table with his hands. He had been barely holding on for the past few years, and in this moment of agitation, his old body immediately became unresponsive.

Xu Xiang knew that the file must never be exposed to the public.

It not only records the bloody battle seven years ago that involved veteran masters in the industry, but also touches on Feng Baobao's background!

It was because of the person recorded in that file that he had Bao Bao secretly keeping an eye on that child all these years.

And that child was none other than Zhang Chulan, the college student whom Lu Linglong and Lin Mo had just bumped into at the Tianjin night market a few days ago!

Xu Xiang took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the dizziness, and his voice was frighteningly cold: "Investigate!"

"Who was on duty in the archives at the time? Who touched the spare key? Check the communication records, private accounts, and internal access permissions—everything!"

The supervisor shuddered, sweating profusely: "A section of the surveillance signal was interfered with, for about three minutes and forty seconds..."

"Three minutes and forty seconds, that's professional enough," Xu Xiang sneered. "Even if we have to turn the North China branch upside down today, we must find this mole!"

The supervisor nodded repeatedly, then turned and ran out to seal off the building.

Xu Xiang was the only one left in the office. He slumped back into his chair, rubbing his increasingly dizzy temples, and looked out the window.

If Zhang Chulan's file is leaked, the world of supernatural beings is likely to be in turmoil.

The waters of North China are about to become completely murky.

He took out his phone and glanced at Lin Mo's WeChat profile picture. If things really came to a head, he might really have to spend a fortune to get this kid to step in.

……

At the same time, in Lin Mo's luxurious guest room at the Lu Family Manor.

The computer screen flickered with colorful lights and shadows. Lin Mo sat in his gaming chair, his hands moving like blurs across the keyboard as he played a ranked League of Legends match, wearing headphones.

In the voice chat, Lu Linglong's voice boomed louder than during a team fight: "Lin Mo! Charge! Aren't you supposed to be fast? Why are you still farming jungle camps?!"

Lin Mo controlled his hero to finish off a group of jungle monsters, and said calmly, "Ms. Lu, calm down. The win rate for team fights is only 31.7% right now, so it's not a good time to blindly work overtime."

Zhi Jinhua's voice followed immediately: "He's right, the enemy mid laner doesn't have Flash, and the jungler is in the bottom half of the map. Wait another ten seconds."

Bai Shixue chuckled: "Hua'er, you're so meticulous even when playing games? But Lin Mo, hurry up, I want to see you show off."

"We can fight." Lin Mo suddenly spoke as soon as the ten-second countdown was up.

As soon as he finished speaking, he controlled Yasuo, weaving smoothly through the encirclement of five enemy players. The terrifying reaction speed brought by the max-level "Divine Speed ​​Transformation" combined with his five senses enhanced by a century of internal energy, along with Zhi Jinhua's callouts, caused sword light to flash wildly on the screen.

Five seconds later.

PentaKill!

Pentakill!

The enemy base exploded instantly. The results screen popped up, and Lin Mo glanced at the data panel: highest damage dealt, second highest damage taken, and 87% participation rate.

"We won! We won!" Bai Shixue yelled in the voice chat, "Holy crap! Lin Mo, you're amazing! With that hand speed, you'd definitely win a championship if you went pro!"

Lin Mo picked up the soda next to him and took a sip: "That's a good compliment. You can do it again next time."

"Tsk tsk tsk." Bai Shixue's tone turned frivolous. "Lin Mo, tell me honestly, how many years of being single did you develop this hand speed?"

Lin Mo said seriously, "Not much, twenty-three years. Long-term single, stable training."

Bai Shixue laughed so hard she slapped the table: "So now that you're living in the Lu family's house and Linglong's personal bodyguard, have any unbearable stories happened in the middle of the night?"

A scream from Lu Linglong instantly came through the earphones: "Xiao Bai! What kind of indecent things are you saying! What do you mean you can't broadcast this? This is my house!"

Lin Mo almost choked on the water he had just drunk.

Two drops of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Are girls' conversations these days going this far?

Fine, since you dare to open this shop and try to test the limits of what a working person like me can do, then I won't hold back either.

Lin Mo put down his water glass, cleared his throat into the microphone, and spoke as calmly as if he were signing an expense report, without any hesitation: "No, I have been single since graduation and have never had any bad habits. As a legal adult male, my normal physiological condition is that I am still fully erect every morning."

As soon as those words were spoken...

The entire voice channel fell into a deathly silence instantly.

Even the background sound of typing on the keyboard is gone.

A full three seconds.

Bai Shixue, holding her headphones, blushed, completely unprepared for her teasing to be so directly countered; Zhi Jinhua, pushing up her glasses, blushed and opened her mouth, unable to say a word; Lu Linglong even stopped breathing.

"Pah!" Lu Linglong finally exploded, stomping her feet in embarrassment. "Lin Mo, aren't you ashamed?! How could you say something like that! You're shameless!"

Hearing the three women completely flustered, Lin Mo's last bit of tension vanished. He leaned back comfortably in his gaming chair, gave a cold snort, and took the initiative.

"Tch, you little brat, that's all? What else do you want to talk about? Bring it on, this bodyguard will take it all."

Bai Shixue completely lost her temper and muttered under her breath, "Linglong, your bodyguard... he's got something."

Zhi Jinhua coughed twice and quickly stepped in to control the situation: "Cough cough! Stop, stop, stop! Don't say anymore, really don't say anymore! If you keep talking, what if we get our voice channel banned? Come on, let's start another round."

This interruption finally helped to ease the tension.

Lin Mo knew when to stop and was just about to click the accept button.

"Knock, knock, knock." There was a knock on the guest room door.

Lin Mo paused, not even looking at the door, but just by the slightly heavy breathing outside, he knew who it was.

Lu Lin.

Having just violently pushed through the level during the day, the edges of the membrane of the Reverse Regeneration Double are wobbling a bit right now, like the system is updating in the background, so it's normal for the body to have a backlash.

The follow-up visit fee was delivered to my door.

Having won several rounds in a row, and with it being his private time after get off work, Lin Mo unusually didn't switch to work mode. He casually took off his headphones and hung them around his neck, his attention already focused on Lu Lin's disordered breathing, completely forgetting that the microphone was still on.

The door opened, and standing outside was indeed Lu Lin, dressed in pajamas, her body shrouded in a layer of ethereal white mist.

"Lin Mo, did I disturb your rest?" Lu Lin asked, a little embarrassed.

"You are a valued customer, so you can start by discussing your business."

Lu Lin scratched her head: "My internal energy is still a bit unstable after this breakthrough. My grandfather is asleep again, and I don't want to wake him up, so I wanted to ask if you have any suggestions."

"Okay, no problem. Come in." Lin Mo stepped aside and then added in the most natural and casual professional tone.

"Go sit on the bed."

……

The air seemed to freeze in that instant.

In the computer voice channel.

The three women, who were waiting in the lobby for their turn, suddenly fell silent.

Lu Linglong's hand trembled, and the mouse almost flew out of her hand. Bai Shixue gasped and immediately turned up the volume. Zhi Jinhua hesitated for a second; reason told her she should leave the channel, but her hands honestly remained on the keyboard.

The conversation between the two men could be heard clearly through the three people's earpieces.

"Grandpa is asleep again..."

"Come in, sit on the bed."

Lu Linglong's cheeks burned, and her mind was buzzing.

Lin Mo... my cousin... in the middle of the night... in bed?!

Bai Shixue lowered her voice, trembling with excitement: "Feed...Linglong, flowers...did you hear me?"

Zhi Jinhua swallowed hard. "I...I heard it...it's Cousin Linglong's voice, isn't it?"

None of the three girls uttered a sound to urge them on. They held their breath in unison, turned the computer volume up to the maximum, and pressed their ears tightly against the speaker holes, afraid of missing any sound from the guest room.

Inside the guest room.

Lu Lin closed the door behind her, obediently walked to the two-meter-wide bed, sat cross-legged, placed her hands on the buttons of her pajamas, and looked somewhat nervous.

A rustling sound of clothes rubbing came through the headphones.

Immediately afterwards, Lu Lin asked, her voice slightly tense, "Um... Lin Mo, do you need to take off your clothes?"

hiss--!

The three women simultaneously gasped in their respective rooms, their eyes gleaming with a cold light.

The next second, Lin Mo's calm yet authoritative voice came through clearly.

"You don't need to take your clothes off completely, just pull your shirt off, leave your pants on. I want to see that puffy spot on your chest. It might hurt a little in a bit, so bear with it and don't make a sound."

"Okay... I'll do my best." Lu Lin took a deep breath.

boom!

The three women were completely dumbfounded in the voice channel; their brains simply shut down.

Bai Shixue couldn't help but let out a very soft "Holy shit!"; Lu Linglong couldn't hold back any longer and blurted out into the microphone in a low voice, "Lin Mo... what are you doing?!"

Lin Mo, who was holding a bottle of mineral water and about to unscrew it, suddenly froze.

He then realized that Lu Linglong's voice was coming from the earphones around his neck! The microphone wasn't off!

Lin Mo turned his head and looked at the computer screen.

In the bottom right corner of the screen, three avatars in the voice channel were brightly lit: Lu Linglong, Zhi Jinhua, and Bai Shixue.

Lu Lin, still clutching the open neckline of her pajamas, froze as she followed Lin Mo's gaze.

A deathly silence fell over the guest room.

Lu Lin swallowed hard, pointed at the computer, and said in a slightly unsteady voice, "They...are listening?"

……
