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

Inside the café, the fragrant aroma mingled with soft music, creating a pleasant atmosphere.

As soon as Feng Shayan finished speaking, it was like throwing a pebble into a calm lake, creating ripples that instantly made the atmosphere at the table more subtle.

Lu Linglong stopped chewing on the straw, her big eyes darting between Feng Shayan and Lin Mo, sparkling with intense curiosity.

Qi Body Origin Flow, Eight Extraordinary Techniques, descendant of the Thirty-Six Thieves of the Jia Shen Year, Zhang Chulan...

These labels have been the hottest topics in the community of people with supernatural abilities these past few days.

Pick any one of them at random, and it's enough to make the old guys' hearts race.

Not to mention that the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony is about to begin, and all forces are keeping a close eye on this student who suddenly appeared.

At this point, the World Society was going to "invite someone," which didn't sound like something as simple as just having tea and chatting.

Lu Linglong hesitated for a moment, then subconsciously turned to look at the bodyguard beside her who was calmly sipping his free coffee, her big eyes questioning.

"Lin Mo, would you like to go and take a look?"

Lin Mo held his coffee cup, tapping his fingertips lightly on the rim, while his mind raced with calculations.

Go see Zhang Chulan?

tonight?

Nankai University?

If he remembered correctly, wasn't this the famous scene where Feng Shayan led people to have Feng Yaya wear a mascot costume to the boys' dormitory, put a sack over her head, and drag her to the woods?

interesting.

This job may not be profitable right now, but it's definitely a lively and bustling place.

Moreover, Zhang Chulan is currently in a phase where his worldview is being repeatedly crushed. If he gets messed up by the World Society like this, he might start to wonder if he has entered some kind of hidden server.

More importantly, as the core of the Jia Shen Rebellion, Zhang Chulan will definitely be the center of the storm in the world of supernatural beings in the future, and also the biggest source of "business opportunities".

Observing this future "client" up close beforehand will be entirely beneficial for him in formulating his "business plan" for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony.

Thinking of this, Lin Mo took out his phone, opened the notes app, and typed a line of text on the spot.

Lu Linglong leaned over and glanced at it, only to see that it clearly stated: "[Zhang Chulan, potential core traffic for the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony, with potential for developing security consulting services.]"

Lu Linglong's lips twitched violently: "You actually thought of making money from this?"

"Occupational hazard. Observing customer profiles in advance is a form of market research."

Lin Mo calmly put away his phone, met Lu Linglong's gaze, and spoke with his usual professional tone.

"Going to take a look is fine. But we've agreed beforehand that we'll only look and not do anything."

"After all, this is outside my job scope. Once I intervened, the nature of the situation changed."

"Mmm-hmm!" Lu Linglong nodded immediately, her expression becoming more serious. "That's what I think too. After all, this was initiated by the World Society. It's fine to watch the show, but it's not appropriate to actually get involved."

"If word gets out, people will think that our Lu family has also set its sights on the Qi Source Stream. Grandfather will definitely scold us if he finds out."

Lin Mo nodded in satisfaction: "As expected of the boss, your political acumen is eight percentage points higher than yesterday."

Lu Linglong had only been serious for a couple of seconds when she heard this and immediately rolled her eyes at him, annoyed: "Can you please not compliment someone like you're writing a daily work report?"

"Don't worry, you two."

Feng Shayan watched the interaction between the two and smiled knowingly. "My father just wanted to invite this young man Zhang Chulan to sit down and have a chat."

"You two can just watch the show from the sidelines; there's absolutely no need for you to show yourself or even lift a finger."

"Our World Society is hiring people, but we won't drag the Lu family into this mess."

"Then... shall we take a look?"

Lu Linglong breathed a sigh of relief, but ultimately couldn't resist the temptation of curiosity. She then blinked, somewhat puzzled, "By the way, you said you'd invite me tonight. How exactly?"

Feng Shayan picked up her cup, took a small sip, and spoke in a calm tone as if she were asking what to eat for dinner, but her smile carried a hint of a strong person's amusement: "Of course, it won't be an ordinary visit."

"Shouldn't we test the mettle of a legendary Qi source cultivator first?"

"Huh?" Lu Linglong opened her mouth slightly and wrinkled her nose. "But hasn't he always lived as an ordinary person? He's still a student. Isn't it a bit inappropriate for him to do this?"

"Yes, sister." Feng Xingtong couldn't help but speak up, her face showing a mixture of youthful gentleness and worry.

"Maybe we should just take a gentler approach and invite them instead."

"What if we scare him? He hasn't been exposed to much of our industry, and he might not be able to adapt to this all of a sudden."

Feng Shayan glanced at her younger brother, her eyes leaving no room for argument: "Xingtong, you need to understand, the World Society isn't a charity. Father asked us to invite him, but the condition is that he has to be worthy of the invitation."

"If he is truly capable, then it is worth it for my father to meet him in person."

"If he is just an ordinary student who has been pushed to the forefront by rumors and is powerless, then bringing him to the World Society would only harm him."

Feng Shayan paused for a moment, then continued, "Perfect, let Ya Ya try it tonight."

"If they're really capable, take them back to talk; if they can't even handle Ya Ya, then forget it, let's pretend nothing happened."

"It will also make Zhang Chulan aware of the dangers of the supernatural community and prompt him to stay away."

Feng Xingtong opened her mouth, but couldn't find a reason to refute it, so she could only sigh helplessly: "Sister, then you have to tell Ya Ya to be gentle and not too rough."

"You're right." Feng Shayan nodded, a rare occurrence for her. "I'll remind her to be mindful of her behavior."

Lu Linglong rubbed her chin. Although she felt this approach was a bit domineering, she thought again that if Zhang Chulan really was an extraordinary person, he would have to face the bizarre and wonderful world sooner or later.

Although you may suffer some grievances, sometimes, grievances can help you grow faster.

After listening to the discussion, Feng Xingtong looked at Lin Mo with some admiration: "Brother Lin, the way you took notes just now... was indeed quite business-like."

"That's what made your Tianxia Society so big and powerful," Lin Mo nodded.

Feng Shayan chuckled softly, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her beautiful eyes.

She became increasingly interested in Lin Mo; although he seemed greedy, he had a strong ability to judge boundaries.

He knows exactly what money to earn and what troubles to avoid, and he follows the rules more clearly than anyone else.

"If Mr. Lin is willing to come to the World Society, my father would be very happy." Feng Shayan took the opportunity to extend an olive branch.

Lin Mo put down his coffee cup and looked at her seriously: "Is your Tianxia Society's reimbursement process fast?"

Feng Shayan was taken aback: "What?"

Lin Mo asked seriously, "For example, I took a taxi from the hospital today, and the fare was thirty-eight yuan and sixty cents. How long does it take for this kind of small reimbursement to arrive in my account?"

Feng Shayan remained silent for a second.

Feng Xingtong almost spat out the coffee in her mouth.

Lu Linglong rubbed her forehead in anguish, already used to her bodyguard's absurd focus on her.

Feng Shayan suppressed a laugh and replied cooperatively, "If it's Mr. Lin, it should be able to be handled on the same day."

Lin Mo's eyes lit up slightly: "Your company is quite efficient."

Lu Linglong immediately became alert, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on: "Hey! Don't be bribed by thirty-eight yuan and sixty cents!"

Lin Mo leaned back on the sofa leisurely: "Don't worry, boss, I'm just objectively evaluating their financial system, it doesn't mean I have any intention to switch jobs."

Just then, Lin Mo's phone vibrated slightly.

4:59. One minute later, at exactly 5:00 PM, the familiar system notification sounded in his mind right on time.

[Ding! It's 5 PM, time to clock out!]

[The host was detected to have left the protected target's vicinity by more than 100 meters during working hours today due to special circumstances (emergency medical outsourcing).]

[Successfully checked in today, maintaining perfect attendance. However, there is no extra reward; today's check-in reward is cancelled.]

Upon seeing the words "reward cancelled," Lin Mo's previously calm expression froze instantly, as if someone had snatched a handful of cash from his heart.

Lu Linglong noticed the change in his expression and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Lin Mo silently placed his phone face down on the table and took a deep breath: "It's nothing. It's just that I was reminded that today, in order to extend Xu Xiang's life, I lost an invaluable amount of hidden income."

Lu Linglong blinked: "But didn't you make a lot of money today?"

Lin Mo remained silent for two seconds.

As working people, we can't have it all.

With millions of dollars in cash flow coming in, what's a little daily reward?

"Thinking about it that way makes me feel much better." Lin Mo regained his composure.

When Feng Shayan and Feng Xingtong, who were sitting opposite, heard this conversation, their pupils suddenly contracted, and their faces were filled with shock.

The news of Xu Xiang's critical illness naturally reached the Tianxia Society; it was a terminal illness that left him with no energy left and half his body nearing the grave!

Lin Mo actually saved her?!

Faced with the shocked looks of the two, Lin Mo casually said, "It's nothing, just regular medical outsourcing. The client pays, and I provide the service."

Feng Shayan came to her senses, smiled slightly, and was amazed.

To be able to save someone like Xu Xiang, who was destined to die, and to make it sound like he was fixing an air conditioner, this person is even more exaggerated than my father said!

She composed herself and got back to the point: "Then it's settled for tonight. Let's grab something to eat first, and then head to Nankai University later."

"Observation is permitted." Lin Mo made a final disclaimer, "In the event of any additional danger, my responsibility is only to ensure Miss Lu's safe evacuation."

"Other matters are not covered by the Lu family's contract."

"Understood." Feng Shayan nodded slightly.

Feng Xingtong scratched his head and sighed, "I hope Ya Ya doesn't go too far."

Lin Mo's lips twitched involuntarily, while he inwardly cursed wildly.

Be gentle?

Send someone dressed as Pleasant Goat to the boys' dormitory, put a sack over their head, and physically knock them unconscious.

These three words have a touch of dark humor to them.

……

As night deepens, the city lights begin to illuminate the night.

Nankai University, a male dormitory building, inside a certain dormitory room.

Zhang Chulan sat alone on the edge of the bed, his hands tightly tucked into his hair, radiating a sense of confusion and despair, as if asking himself, "Who am I? Where am I? What am I supposed to do?"

The computer screen was lit, but he couldn't concentrate on reading a single word.

The events of the past few days have been more stimulating than the previous twenty years combined, utterly shattering his values ​​and leaving nothing behind.

First, when I returned home for summer vacation, I discovered that my grandfather Zhang Xilin's grave had been dug up and his remains had disappeared.

Immediately afterwards, a strange woman who claimed to be his sister, named Zhang Baobao, emerged from the graveyard, dug up the grave again in front of him, and even fought with a zombie that crawled out of the ground with a kitchen knife, as if cutting cabbage.

Then, this woman clung to him like glue, chasing him all the way to the school in public.

In the grove, a few slashes shattered the Golden Light Mantra that he had hidden for many years and was so proud of!

That wasn't the end of it. That same night, he was kidnapped by a girl from western Hunan named Liu Yanyan using a corpse-driving technique, and he met a man and a woman who claimed to be "Quanxing".

Later, the woman, whose real name was Feng Baobao, appeared with a bespectacled man in a suit and a large group of people who looked like deliverymen and whose fight was more exaggerated than a Hollywood special effects blockbuster.

It wasn't until that moment that Zhang Chulan realized that there really was a group of people in this world called "Outsiders".

And surprisingly, "NaDuTong" is an official management organization.

The worst part is that he discovers he is also an outcast, and the kind of person who is most likely to be targeted in the outcast community!

"Qi Body Source Flow... Grandpa, what exactly did you leave me?"

Zhang Chulan held his head, feeling that his life was utterly bleak.

He just wanted to go to university as an ordinary person, so how did the whole world suddenly start targeting him overnight?

No one else in the dorm is here tonight, and the quietness of the room is unsettling.

Zhang Chulan looked out the window. The campus streetlights were dim, and the shadows of the trees swayed gently in the wind.

He felt something was wrong with everything he saw. It was as if someone was hiding behind a tree, there were footsteps in the corridor, and even the sound of dripping water from the pipes outside seemed like a secret signal!

The CPU is practically burning out.

"Don't panic, don't panic..."

Zhang Chulan rubbed his face, forcing himself to calm down. "Didn't Na Du Tong say they would handle it? Although Feng Baobao isn't exactly a normal person, at least she's on my side."

"There shouldn't be any more accidents, right?"

"Knock knock knock—"

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a clear knocking sound suddenly rang out in the deathly silent corridor.

Zhang Chulan shuddered and jumped up from his chair, his heart leaping into his throat.

No!

Dear brothers and sisters, please, please stop messing with me!

I'm just an ordinary college student. I don't want to cultivate immortality, I don't want to maintain world peace, and I certainly don't want to be kidnapped!

He was screaming inwardly, but the knocking continued unhurriedly.

dong dong dong.

After hesitating for several seconds, Zhang Chulan took a deep breath and slowly moved to the door.

One hand rested on the doorknob, the other already clenched unconsciously, prepared to die. If it was some strange, supernatural person outside again, he'd run!

Even if you can't beat them, you still have to maintain the right attitude.

He suddenly yanked the door open.

The next second, Zhang Chulan was completely stunned.

Outside the door, there were no menacing Quanxing demons, nor was there Feng Baobao with a cleaver, expressionless.

Instead, there was a giant "Pleasant Goat" doll that was more than a person's height.

Its fluffy, round body is adorable, and it has a standard cartoon smile on its face.

The dim light from the corridor shone on the doll's face, and its two large, black bean-like eyes stared straight at him, giving it an indescribably eerie appearance.

"???"

Zhang Chulan's brain went blank for a moment, and his scalp tingled.

His lips twitched violently, and he uttered a soul-searching question: "Dude? Are you on the wrong set? What kind of new play is this?"

Pleasant Goat didn't say anything, but simply took a step forward.

"No. Absolutely wrong!"

Alarm bells rang in Zhang Chulan's mind, and his body instinctively shrank back, just as he was about to retreat back to the dormitory and lock the door.

However, his opponent was much faster!

The giant Pleasant Goat doll suddenly moved, a large, furry hand abruptly rising, and a rough burlap sack with a strange smell appeared out of nowhere.

It's black in front of you.

A sack came crashing down on him!

"Holy shit!" Zhang Chulan's muffled voice came from inside the sack as he struggled.

"Who is it?! What's wrong with all of you?! Can't you talk things out properly?!"

He tried to circulate his qi to resist, but was struck precisely on the back of the neck with a light tap.

Although the force wasn't strong, it just interrupted his reaction.

Zhang Chulan felt everything go completely black before his eyes, and his whole body went limp.

Then, the "Pleasant Goat" nimbly hoisted the sack onto its shoulder and easily disappeared at the end of the boys' dormitory corridor.

……

Thank you all for your support, godfathers! Please give me a small gift!
