Zhang Yida laughed, "Here’s the deal, we’re organizing a drinking get-together and wanted to ask our landlord brother if you’d like to join us."
"He’s busy, and besides, he never drinks..."
Leng Wanbai was just about to refuse when Qin Shou appeared behind Zhang Yida like a ghost, completely silent.
"Let’s go."
A voice inexplicably sounded behind Zhang Yida, startling him.
"What the... You, you, you..."
When did this guy get behind ?
So creepy!!
Zhang Yida’s inner thoughts were screaming.
"In that case, I’m going too," Leng Wanbai suddenly spoke out.
"Girls are not allowed to drink. Stay ho."
Qin Shou left this line behind as he turned and walked towards the elevator.
Zhang Yida followed behind Qin Shou, filled with admiration.
No wonder he’s the landlord; his household authority is no joke!
At the door, Leng Wanbai let out a huff, puffing up her cheeks, and stealthily followed the two of them.
She’d seen it on TV—one thing the bars in this city never lacked was pretty girls.
She couldn’t let Qin Shou flirt with those vixens!
...
"Co on, everyone, take a look who I’ve brought with !"
"Wow, young man, not bad! You even managed to invite our landlord brother," Zeng Xiaoxian chuckled.
"Of course!"
Zhang Yida gestured at the people standing up and introduced them one by one.
"Landlord brother, this is Hu Feifei, a PhD and a Taekwondo expert..."
"This is Lv Xiaobu..."
"And this is Tang..."
Qin Shou waved his hand and smiled, "Alright, no need for introductions. I’ve t them all before."
Finding this group of oddballs had taken quite so ti.
He turned his gaze to the cool and confident young man seated at the table and asked Zhang Yida, "Who’s this one?"
"Oh, he’s a friend of mine, doesn’t live here. He goes by Xi Zhao now," Zhang Yida said with a smile.
"Surna Xi? That’s pretty rare."
"Haha, it’s not his real na. It’s a rule at their company—they can only use codenas outside."
Qin Shou suddenly understood, "Ah, a codena. So he’s a mber of the ERP team. Impressive."
Zhang Yida was startled, "Landlord brother, how did you know he just joined the ERP?"
Qin Shou patted him on the shoulder and smiled, "Because I’m also kind of part of ERP."
"Landlord brother, you really keep deep secrets, huh? By the way, landlord brother, is your na also a codena?"
Zhang Yida asked excitedly.
"No."
"Impossible! Using codenas is ERP protocol..."
"My rank is too high; they can’t boss around."
Upon hearing this, Zhang Yida’s eyes lit up.
"Sir, how much would you pay if I worked under you?"
"No salary. It’s all volunteer work."
Zhang Yida: "..."
What is wrong with young people these days? Isn’t working all about making money?
And now you’re telling there’s unpaid labor? Forget it, I’m out.
The whispered conversation between the two didn’t escape Xi Zhao. He quietly looked up at Qin Shou, gave a small nod, and said nothing further.
Sitting next to him, Tang Xiaoyou rested her chin on her hand, staring dreamily at Xi Zhao’s handso face, utterly infatuated, completely ignoring the annoyed looks from the others around her.
"Miss Tang, please wipe the drool from your mouth. It’s basic decency," Xi Zhao coldly reminded her before standing and approaching Zhang Yida.
"Alright, it’s about ti. I need to head back to the base."
"Your ERP training schedule is that tight?" Zhang Yida asked, surprised.
Xi Zhao glanced at him, "ERP isn’t like your Youma Rescue Team. You’re the only mysterious warrior there, and your training is so lax that you can even organize drinking etups."
Zhang Yida shrugged it off, "I don’t have big ambitions. I’m fine with just dealing with weak abnormalities, earning money to buy a house, a car, and maybe get married. Saving the world—that’s your job, not mine. I’m hopeless in that respect."
"By the way, how much does ERP pay? Maybe I should apply to join you guys..."
Xi Zhao thought for a mont and didn’t respond.
"Hey, don’t tell even salary info is classified?" Zhang Yida asked, disbelieving.
Xi Zhao shook his head, "It’s not classified. I just... forgot to ask about the salary when I joined the ERP."
Zhang Yida: "..."
Are you kidding ? Am I the only one who cares about salary?
Do none of you work for money?
"Forget it, forget it. Asking you is useless. I’d better just perform well and hope my commander gives a raise."
"Let’s go. I’ll see you out."
"Alright."
"Landlord brother, you guys carry on. I’ll step out and be right back."
...
At the bar entrance, an eerie gust of wind suddenly swept through, making Zhang Yida shudder involuntarily.
"Weird, where’d that cold wind co from in this weather?"
Xi Zhao looked into the dark corner where a rather ordinary-looking man erged and said, "That’s not a cold wind. We’re being watched."
"Huh? Who’s bold enough to target us?"
Zhang Yida imdiately beca alert and, without making a sound, moved to stand behind Xi Zhao.
"Xi Zhao, protect ."
Xi Zhao: "..."
With his combat stats, this guy’s Golden Armor Warrior wasn’t inferior to the Snow Mastiff Armor.
But now...
Sigh, what kind of oddballs live in this building?
He strode forward, heading toward the man erging from the corner.
"Too many people here. Let’s go sowhere else," Xi Zhao said.
The man cracked his neck, his bones making loud cracking sounds. His bloodshot eyes sparkled with madness, and a crazed grin spread across his face.
"Hehehe, too many people? Isn’t that just perfect?"
With that, the man stretched out his hand, and a dark red chanical beetle shot out from the void.
"Transform!"
The man sneered as he placed the chanical beetle on his waist. Dark red armor rapidly enveloped his body, with a dark red horn running along the middle of his face. His insect-like visor flickered faint yellow light.
Xi Zhao’s expression changed, and Zhang Yida exclaid, "That’s Tianfu City’s mysterious warrior, Jiadou!"
"No, it’s not Jiadou. I sense an abnormality’s power!"
Xi Zhao had barely spoken when an excited shriek ca from behind.
"Ahhh! It’s a mysterious warrior! Everyone, look..."
"What? A mysterious warrior..."
