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

"Beep, check-in successful."

At exactly nine o'clock in the morning, Lin Mo stepped into the entrance of the Lu Family Manor restaurant, a large meat bun in his mouth.

He had a rosy complexion, walked briskly, and his tracksuit was spotless, with not a speck of dust on his brand-new shoes.

No one would have guessed that this man had just single-handedly crippled ten Quanxing masters at the North China branch last night, and even captured a traitor along the way.

The three members of the Lu family were already seated at the dining table.

Lu Lin held the milk glass, her eyes filled with undisguised admiration;

Lu Linglong bit her chopsticks, staring intently at Lin Mo, as if afraid he would be kidnapped with money at any moment;

Lu Jin gripped her phone, her eyebrows raised high, her expression even more complicated than the other two.

Lin Mo pulled out a chair and sat down, casually serving himself a bowl of congee with preserved egg and lean pork, speaking as naturally as if he had just gone for a walk the night before.

Good morning, everyone. Today's lunch was quite plentiful.

Lu Jin put down her phone, looked at him for a while, and then slowly said, "Lin boy, Xu Xiang just called me."

Lin Mo looked up, his expression calm: "President Xu is dissatisfied with my outsourced services? That can't be. Of the ten Quanxing members, not one is dead. They're all here for him to interrogate, safe and sound. The mole has also spoken up. If he wants to cause trouble afterward, I have a recording."

Lu Jin's lips twitched.

"Satisfied, he was very satisfied."

Lu Jin took a deep breath, her voice unconsciously rising a little, "He told me early this morning that the North China branch was attacked by Quanxing last night. You single-handedly overpowered ten high-risk superhumans in less than three minutes, and then even managed to sell them a quick inquiry service at the end?"

Lin Mo nodded, speaking with conviction: "Time is money. The sooner I finish this, the sooner he closes the case, and the sooner I can go back to sleep. It saves everyone trouble; it's a win-win situation."

Lu Jin paused, holding back her anger, but couldn't help herself: "He also said that you transferred a total of 380,000 yuan from the North China branch's account this time?"

As soon as he said that, there was a loud crash in the restaurant.

Lu Linglong dropped her chopsticks on the table.

Lu Lin almost choked on the milk he had just drunk. He turned his head sharply to look at Lin Mo, his eyes wide open.

"How much? Three hundred and eighty thousand?!"

In one night, no, at most a few hours, he got 380,000?

Lin Mo put down his spoon, tore off a napkin to wipe his mouth, and spoke in a flat tone as if he were reciting the price of vegetables.

"The total is indeed 380,000. 60,000 is the deposit collected before departure, 200,000 is the interception fee for an emergency battle, and 120,000 is the final payment for catching the mole. Every transaction is documented in a contract, and Mr. Xu paid very respectfully."

The three members of the Lu family remained silent for a moment.

Lu Lin looked down at the black card in her hand.

Previously, his great-grandfather had given him tens or hundreds of thousands of yuan to help him advance to the second level of the Reverse Life Realm, which he thought was a generous gesture. Now, in comparison, Lin Mo's trip last night cost him more than several months' worth of training fees.

Lu Jin also fell silent.

He watched Lin Mo peeling an egg, and his mind started rapidly calculating.

We just raised this kid's base salary to 100,000 a month. That would be an astronomical sum for an ordinary bodyguard, but for a master like Lin Mo who can take down ten Quanxing superhumans in a short time, it seems a bit insufficient.

If Xu Xiang invests even more money, will his team really be poached?

The one with the strongest sense of crisis is Lu Linglong.

She glanced down at her WeChat balance and for the first time felt that her little savings were rather meager.

She used to think she had a lot of pocket money and would buy clothes, snacks and bags without batting an eye. But now, compared to her previous experience, Lin Mo made more money in one trip last night than she had saved up for two months.

She wasn't worried that Lin Mo would be kidnapped by Na Du Tong.

She just felt that the bodyguards she paid a base salary of 100,000 yuan shouldn't be lured away by Xu Xiang's side with high-priced missions every day.

Yes, that's it.

After finishing his egg, Lin Mo leaned back in his chair in a good mood, calculating his own expenses in his mind.

With a base salary of 100,000, plus Xu Xiang's 380,000 from last night, and the training fees and breakthrough rewards given by the Lu family grandfather and grandson, his total assets have now steadily exceeded 700,000.

In second- or third-tier cities, this amount of money would be more than enough for a down payment.

But Lin Mo would never take on a mortgage.

It's one thing for working people to work for their bosses, but to work for a bank for thirty years?

This won't work.

If you're going to buy, go for a large apartment in a first-tier city. If business picks up during the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony and you get a few big orders, then a fully paid detached villa isn't out of the question.

Just as Lin Mo was envisioning his future property, Lu Linglong suddenly slammed her hands on the dining table and stood up.

Lin Mo was startled and looked up at her: "Ms. Lu, is the lunch not to your liking?"

Lu Linglong's cheeks were a little red, whether from anxiety or anger, it was hard to tell.

She stared intently at Lin Mo, then pulled out her phone and slapped it down in front of him.

"Lin Mo, I want to hire you!"

Lin Mo blinked: "Miss Lu, I'm now your full-time bodyguard, with a base salary of 100,000, and the contract is still fresh."

"Not a bodyguard!" Lu Linglong gritted her teeth, her voice a little louder than usual. "I want a sparring partner too. If Grandpa can buy your sparring package for my cousin, so can I!"

She had to keep Lin Mo by her side. Since this bastard only cared about money, she would pay him to do the work. As long as the deal was still going on, he wouldn't be able to easily go and take on other people's jobs.

Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, then his eyes slowly brightened.

It's rare for customers to come to you on their own initiative.

"cough."

Lin Mo sat up straight, instantly switching into professional mode. He pulled out a small notebook from his pocket. "I can be your sparring partner, but let me make this clear first: I'm a very serious trainer, so it will definitely hurt."

Lu Linglong raised her chin: "I'm not afraid."

"Okay." Lin Mo opened his notebook, glanced at her, and said, "I roughly understand your situation. You have a good foundation, but the problems are also obvious. You're prone to getting carried away in a fight, and once your Qi is disrupted, your footing will falter. I'll divide you into two levels."

Lu Linglong's lips twitched: "You really are quite observant."

"The professional habits of working people."

Lin Mo said seriously, "First level: basic dodging and stress resistance training. I'll help you correct your impulsive attack habit and train you to the point where you can withstand attacks from the same level for a while without using true qi. It'll cost two thousand per hour."

Lu Linglong frowned: "What about the second tier?"

Lin Mo held up two fingers, and his smile became much more sincere.

"The second tier, the premium version, combines practical combat stress relief with meridian unblocking. I use specific palm techniques to train you, dispersing some stagnant Qi in your body and then helping you to smooth it out. The process will be very painful, but the effect is stronger than that of ordinary sparring partners. Within a month, your Qi level and reaction will at least increase significantly."

Lu Linglong immediately asked, "How much?"

Lin Mo glanced at Lu Jin first, then announced the numbers: "Five thousand per session, one hundred thousand per month. Payment upon receipt, training begins."

Lu Linglong gasped.

One hundred thousand.

Her savings weren't enough right now.

She looked at Lu Jin expectantly, but still stubbornly said, "Grandpa, I don't mean to waste money. I just feel that as a member of the Lu family, I can't fall too far behind my cousin."

Lu Jin almost laughed at her words.

He knew his great-granddaughter all too well. She was talented, but also spoiled. Of course, she practiced her skills diligently, but her level wasn't outstanding among her peers.

Now that she's willing to take the initiative to request high-intensity special training, especially with top experts like Lin Mo personally coaching her, he'd think it's worth it, even if it were a million, let alone 100,000.

Moreover, spending this money will keep Lin Mo firmly at the Lu family's residence during the day.

"I'm out."

Lu Jin readily pulled out his phone. "Lin boy, let's make this clear first: the training can be tough, but don't actually damage Linglong's foundation."

Lin Mo handed over the payment QR code, his tone serious: "Don't worry, Mr. Lu, I rely on my long-term reputation. If I damage my foundation with clients, my renewal rate will drop, and I won't do business that loses money."

Lu Jin's eyelids twitched upon hearing this, but she still scanned the code.

"Ding, 100000 yuan has been deposited into your Alipay account."

A crisp notification sound rang out in the restaurant.

Lin Mo looked at the numbers on the screen, and he almost couldn't suppress the urge to smile.

Xu Xiang's side is a high-risk outsourcing project; it pays well but wears out shoes.

The Lu family is different. The environment is good, the settlement is fast, and the client's family members even take the initiative to renew their fees. That's what you call a stable and high-quality customer.

"Mr. Lu, that's great." Lin Mo put away his notebook, stood up, and stretched his shoulders. "No idle chatter during work hours. Miss Lu, have you finished eating? Shall we head to the training ground?"

Looking at his eager expression, Lu Linglong suddenly felt a chill on the back of her neck.

The image of Lu Lin being beaten until she vomited blood and collapsed flashed through her mind, and she felt a chill run down her spine.

But she's already paid the money. If she backs down now, what will become of the Lu family's eldest daughter's reputation?

"Fine, let's go! Who's afraid of who!"

Lu Linglong gritted her teeth and strode towards the backyard.

Lin Mo followed behind at a leisurely pace, in an extremely good mood.

I earned 100,000 as soon as I started work today, and the system has a high probability of triggering a high-quality martial arts reward at 5 pm.

Earning extra money by beating up an arrogant boss during the day, and clocking in on time at night to collect rewards—this extraordinary life is something even a god wouldn't trade.

Upon reaching the lawn, Lin Mo suddenly spoke up: "Ms. Lu, let me clarify beforehand. The 100,000 is only the training fee. If the lawn facilities are damaged during training, or if you need medical reimbursement, that will be charged separately."

Lu Linglong slipped and almost fell.

She whirled around, glaring fiercely at Lin Mo: "Can you shut up? Take this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, blue true qi surged around Lu Linglong, and with a stomp of her foot, she rushed towards Lin Mo like an arrow released from a bow.

Lin Mo watched her approaching steps and sighed softly.

Lesson one: Don't wear your emotions on your legs.

The next second, he raised his hand and pressed it.
