The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

2025 AD.

As evening fell, Song Gua rode a shared bicycle, swaying left and right, humming a little tune, his black backpack slung over his shoulder, on his way home, bathed in the glow of the setting sun.

Song Gua is convinced that the happiest time in the world is the time spent on the way home from get off work.

There was no pressure from company tasks.

He didn't go back to his rented single room, feeling the embarrassment of living in a bare-walled place.

In this vast world, it felt as if the entire world belonged to me.

Although life has been a bit tough.

But Song Gua still loves life.

He believed that statement.

The essence of life is being able to love it even after you've seen its true nature.

"I'll get a raise next month, and then I'll definitely move to a bigger place, one with a private bathroom! I'll work hard! I'll strive for it!"

Thinking of this, Song Gua couldn't help but stand up and pedal his bicycle.

"Unbelievable! Today, the winner of our Street Super Mario Speedrunning competition is a child who is only five years old!"

A lively sound came from a stage by the roadside, which caught Song Gua's attention.

"Playing video games in competitions, huh? I really envy young people, so carefree... If I hadn't been playing video games every day in college, I wouldn't have had to look for a job for two years."

When Song Gua saw that the first place winner was a five-year-old child, he was speechless.

"That's too young."

Song Gua shook his head and rode away.

The host squatted down and handed the microphone to the child.

"Little friend, what's your name?"

The child spoke through his leaky teeth.

"My name is Jia Xingchen!"

This was the only time Song Gua and Jia Xingchen met.

He didn't hear him say his name.

He didn't notice him in the crowd.

I finally rode home.

As he parked, he wondered which game from his library he should play tonight.

The bike's parked, I've thought it through, let's play Blackjack one more time, and face fate head-on!

As he entered the residential area, he wondered whether to start a new game tonight and stomp some newbies, or continue with the Tiger Vanguard game from yesterday, where he died a hundred times.

Before I could decide what to do, a tiger appeared in front of me.

Speak of the devil, and he appears?

Hmm... the neighborhood, a tiger?

Song Gua and the tiger stared at each other for a minute.

Song Gua remained motionless, attempting to feign death.

Until he discovered that the tiger seemed to be a cub, only the size of a husky.

"Dude, there's something fishy about you showing up here, isn't there?"

Upon closer inspection, Song Gua realized that the tiger looked rather strange.

Its fur is entirely silver with bright white stripes, and its fur is very soft, like silk.

It should be easy to masturbate.

Song Gua quickly dismissed the idea that he might end up working for the government.

Silver Tiger shrank into a corner and dared not come out.

This old and dilapidated neighborhood is almost deserted; many houses are vacant.

So there aren't many people coming and going right now.

The silver tiger hid in a cramped, dark corner, and only Song Gua knew it was there.

Upon realizing that this might be a protected animal that had escaped from the zoo, Song Gua immediately called the police.

The police told Song Gua to stay nearby, protect himself, and keep an eye on the Silver Tiger's movements so it wouldn't run away and get lost.

Although I really want to go back and play AAA games.

But since the police officer had asked him to, Song Gua had no choice but to cooperate.

Song Gua did not hide nearby; he stood directly in front of Yin Hu.

He's too small for a tiger to be afraid of.

Moreover, it seems that this young tiger is more afraid of the Song hexagram.

"Little tiger cub, why did you run away from the zoo? Are you looking for your mother? Your mother might have gone to a very far place..."

Waiting here is boring.

Song Gua and Yin Hu started chatting.

The silver tiger stared with its golden pupils, looking around at everything with great fear, including the chattering two-legged creature.

After waiting for more than ten minutes.

Instead of the police, Song Gua was greeted by a middle-aged woman in a white coat.

"Hello, did you call the police?"

Song Gua was taken aback.

"The police have changed to this uniform now? This version update is a bit unbelievable."

The middle-aged woman smiled.

"I am not a police officer, but an academician at the Yunshan Life Science Research Center. My name is Ye Wenjie."

"Your name..."

"It's just a homonym; I have no intention of inviting aliens to manage the world."

Ye Wenjie seems to have a certain sense of humor.

Song Gua didn't talk to her much.

After the other party presented relevant documents and the police confirmed the information, Song Gua instructed Ye Wenjie to take Yin Hu away.

Ye Wenjie leads a team.

A professional team.

They were all dressed in heavy, sterile clothing and used professional animal traps and cages to catch the silver tiger and put it in a vehicle.

As Song Gua was leaving, he heard Ye Wenjie speaking to the silver tiger while leaning against the iron cage.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here to help your people prosper again."

Song Gua smiled.

"I didn't expect Ye Wenjie to be as crazy as me. Go home! Turn it on! Start it up!"

Several more months passed.

The busy work and the hopeless life made Song Gua almost forget about this matter.

One morning, Song Gua was summoned to the leader's office.

"You've been fired."

"Why, why? I... I didn't do anything wrong!"

"Does not making mistakes at work equate to success? Young man, the company hired you to create value, not to just loaf around and do nothing! Sign this voluntary resignation letter immediately!"

Song Gua got angry.

"I won't sign! I'm going to labor arbitration!"

The HR colleague gave a cold laugh.

"Look it up yourself. We have a professional department to help you with the arbitration process. Do you have someone to pay your salary and next month's rent?"

The divination was completed.

He was kicked out of this tiny, insignificant company in the area, like a dog.

Even such an insignificant company couldn't tolerate him.

Song Gua didn't know where he should go.

"Sigh, let's go and comfort technician number nine first."

When in doubt, call a technician.

After the massage, the technician left, and Song Gua stretched out his limbs on the massage bed, feeling incredibly comfortable and completely relieved of his stress.

"The massage was really comfortable."

"Yeah yeah."

"Brother, you think so too, right?"

"Yeah yeah."

Which technician do you usually choose?

"I like number nine too."

"Great minds think alike!"

Song Gua turned his head to look, wanting to see who this similar hero was.

As a result, he saw a mirror.

"Who put the mirror on the massage bed? Who's responsible if it breaks? Get out of here or you'll try to extort money from me."

The reflection of Song Gua in the mirror nodded repeatedly.

"Yeah yeah."

Song Gua was stunned.

It's not a mirror!

There was another copy of myself lying on the bed next to me!

"Holy crap!!"

Song Gua was so frightened that he fell off the massage bed.

"What's going on??"

On the next bed, Song Gua struck a seductive pose, her fingers slowly sliding from her thigh down to her neck.

"I am your clone, you old thief."
