"Don't you know that Lucifer is the sleep-resistant king of our Penguin Logistics?"
When it was lunchtime, Jiu returned to the dormitory and found that Lucifer still showed no signs of getting rid of the seal of sleep. His baby-like sleep quality made even the Archangel envious and cry.
Lucifer, who must sleep until his biological clock wakes him up naturally, seems to have become one of the traditional symbols of Penguin Logistics.
As if he heard Archangel Power slandering him, Lucifer immediately slammed open the bedroom door. The pair of emotionless bloodshot eyes made Archangel Power shudder, and he quickly sat up straight, pretending to be a model student.
Texas, who was used to this, said leisurely while picking Pocky from the snack box:
"You're awake. It's time to work."
"Gah, don't do that kind of thing where you have to work right after waking up!"
"Don't be crazy, go eat, it will get cold soon."
"walk slowly."
Watching Lucifer and Texas interacting like an old married couple, Jiu inexplicably felt a little envious.
She was quite intoxicated by this relaxing daily routine.
Then, she thought of something and looked up at Lucifer.
"By the way, Lucifer, the new car that the Governor reimbursed you for has arrived and is already parked in the garage. Do you want to come with me to take a look at it later?"
"I've been waiting eagerly."
But Lucifer still felt a little surprised in his heart.
Less than two days had passed, and Wei Yanwu had already approved his car. Lucifer thought it would have to go through layers of approval from the bigwigs above.
Wei Yanwu is a very easy-going person. He would really help me if I had a car.
The bad news is that Lucifer can no longer stay in the dormitory and slack off just because he has no vehicle (sad.
The good news is that Lucifer has a new special weapon (happy.
As the Crimson King deleted the lunch break, Texas and Exiah formed a team and left first to go to work. The remaining Nine and Lucifer went to the garage to sign in and receive Lucifer's second-generation special weapon.
What caught Lucifer's eye was a brand new Heisei generation jeep.
The gray-black paint exterior, the brand-new body structure, and the powerful kinetic engine are all produced by the old Columbia Zhengqi.
Although it is not from the same series as the Texas off-road vehicle, it is produced by the same manufacturer and is very practical.
"…Hiss, it really lacks the Showa flavor."
Lucifer touched his chin with a complicated expression.
If the jeep didn't have khaki paint, an open top, and slightly malfunctioning brakes, it wouldn't have won Lucifer's approval.
"Didn't you say you turned flat?"
"Showa is my lost youth."
"I thought people like you didn't like to reminisce about the past."
"I'm a bit of a traditionalist."
Jiu did not continue chatting with Lucifer about the issues of Zhao and Heisei. He threw the car keys to Lucifer and sat in the passenger seat.
Lucifer couldn't help but say, "What are you doing?"
Hearing this, Jiu showed a matter-of-fact expression.
"Wait for you to drive. I asked for a new car for you. Can't I take a ride in it? Or do you despise me?"
"What if I say yes?"
"Then I'll just stay in your car. Anyway, I'm not the chief of the Guards anymore, so I don't need to worry about any red tape."
"I'm speechless, man."
Naturally, Lucifer didn't dare to kick Jiuyi, who had turned into a shrimp-headed woman, out of the car. Otherwise, she would turn around and report him to Wei Yanwu, making things difficult for him. Where would he go to seek justice?
After counting the goods, the two men set out to drive through the streets and alleys of Longmen.
Jiu leaned against the window, seemingly admiring the flowing scenery, but in fact he was paying attention to Lucifer in the rearview mirror.
Enjoying this comfortable feeling, Jiu slightly raised the corners of his mouth and revealed a faint smile.
"To accompany you?"
Jiu's thoughts were drawn back by Lucifer's voice.
Turning around, I saw that it was Lucifer who handed me the Pocky, and he already had one in his mouth without knowing when.
Looking at Pocky in front of him, Jiu suddenly felt his instincts from the Guard Bureau playing tricks on him.
“You can’t eat while driving.”
"I've already lured you to Penguin Logistics, why are you still concerned about those red tapes?"
"Too."
She has become an infected person and mixed with Lucifer, so what else is there to be particular about?
While chatting and laughing, they broke the shackles of the past. Jiu stretched his head and bit the Pocky in Lucifer's hand and put it in his mouth, constantly licking the chocolate on it with the tip of his tongue.
Ever since that group of infected thugs were wiped out by the Guards, Lungmen and the slums seemed to have returned to their former peace, and for a while there were no gangsters or thugs who showed up to challenge Penguin Logistics.
"Give me another one."
"Did I give you too much face? You still owe me two boxes."
"I'll give it to you when the salary from Penguin Logistics comes in."
"No, buddy, you didn't save any money when you were the chief of the Guards?"
Lucifer looked at Nine in surprise.
No matter how honest the director of the Imperial Guard Bureau is, he shouldn't be without any savings after working for so many years, right?
"Your Penguin Logistics employees' salary is half of what I earned when I was director, and I live paycheck to paycheck."
"That's okay."
Lucifer gave Nine another Pocky out of pity.
Although Jiu is not a materialistic person, money does make the world go round. You know, when she was first promoted to the position by Wei Yanwu, she was still worrying about the monthly rent.
The car drove to an intersection and saw that the traffic light in front of him had turned yellow. Lucifer, who was being watched by Nine, had no choice but to step on the brakes and stop steadily.
Next to them happened to be a police car from the Royal Guards on routine patrol.
Out of curiosity and a hint of nostalgia, Jiu looked over to the window and happened to meet the eyes of a blue dragon girl.
"List?"
"...The Director is not... Nine?"
"My chief, is he really nine?"
Chen Huijie and Xing Xiong, who were out on patrol together, never thought that they would see Jiu from the Guard Bureau while waiting for the traffic light.
"You guys on patrol?"
"Right...wait, whose car are you riding in? Lucifer? Why is it always you?!"
When Chen Huijie saw Lucifer in the driver's seat, he became more and more confused.
"Nine, have you joined Penguin Logistics?"
But before Jiu and Chen Huijie could explain, the owner of a car behind started pointing at the jeep in front in dissatisfaction.
"No buddy, the light is green, go ahead, you're shitting here... I'm sir!"
The car owner stuck his head out and saw the police car of the Guard Bureau nearby before he could finish his words. He immediately behaved himself.
When they first met, the Guards called him "cop" directly, which made Chen Huijie angry.
Just as she was about to rush out to enforce justice, Xingxiong, who was almost losing his voice, rushed to stop her.
"Lao Chen is not... Lao Chen, forget it."

Chapter 75: Do big things, do big things.
"So, you really joined Penguin Logistics?"
"Director Nine has joined Penguin Logistics. How could I have such a dream?"
Heisei's jeep and the Imperial Guard Bureau's police cars stopped on the side of the road. Four figures looked at each other, each with their own ulterior motives.
Jiu stood beside Lucifer and shrugged helplessly.
"I am no longer the director of the Guard Bureau. I am just an ordinary logistics employee."
"Down and out, family."
Lucifer, who was pretending to be a supporting actor, had just opened his mouth when he was hit by Nine's black elbow.
Xingxiong patted Lucifer's shoulder in a familiar manner. After all, she didn't dislike Penguin Logistics and Lucifer that much.
But Chen Huijie already had some PTSD towards Penguin Logistics. Now the director whom she once admired had jumped to Penguin Logistics. How could she have such a dream?
Looking at the interaction between Lucifer and Jiu, Chen Huijie was about to say slanderous words but couldn't utter them.
Biting her lip and thinking for a long time, Chen Huijie looked at Jiu Zang's shoulders and neck under his clothes and asked a new question.
"...How is your mineral sickness?"
Chen Huijie has always felt guilty about Jiu's unfortunate infection with oripathy.
If she had not been so young, reckless and careless, she would not have indirectly caused Jiu to be infected with oripathy, and finally she would not have been forced to leave the Guard Bureau due to Longmen public opinion and various reasons.
"Fortunately, the doctor told me that it's just the initial stage and there won't be any problems as long as I take the medicine regularly."
Nine has let go of this matter, thanks to Lucifer.
Although it was a little difficult to say in front of Chen Huijie, Jiu felt that life in Penguin Logistics was much more comfortable than being the director of the Guards Bureau.
"Is it……"
Seeing Jiu's expression, Chen Huijie stopped pursuing the matter further.
