Chapter 9: The End of the Dog (Thanks to Hogus for being the leader)

According to the system prompts in the watch, the dial is a kind of progress bar that reflects the wearer's own condition.

After that half-golden 0 turns completely golden, he should be able to complete the breakthrough from nothing to something and become the official Chosen One - that is, from 0 to 1... This description sounds vague, as if there is something wrong.

It’s not me anyway!

I don’t know where the so-called Tiangui Group came from, and they can actually create such a weird thing. Although they don’t say a word except for the system report, every time Ji Jue feels that his spiritual essence is drying up and can no longer be sustained, new spiritual essence will silently emerge to supply consumption.

Compared with Ji Jue's half-bottle of water capacity, this small watch seemed to contain a large water tank. No, it was even more exaggerated than that, like... a bottomless reservoir. However, he could only mobilize and utilize a tiny part of it.

I don't know if there will be any new changes when he becomes a regular employee. As for the current stage... forget it. It's a great honor for you to be a temporary worker. What do you want?
"What bike?"

A curious voice sounded.

Right next to him.

Ji Jue was startled, and when he turned back suddenly, he finally realized the long hair that had fallen on his shoulders without him noticing, and the face that seemed to always have a sly smile on it.

He narrowed his eyes and looked at himself.

Look carefully.

"Senior Ye?"

Ji Jue was shocked, "Why are you here?"

"Go shopping."

Ye Chun shook the plastic bag in his hand and said with a smile: "Just now I waved at you for a long time outside the window, but you didn't notice me. But, it's really rare to see you drinking tea... I thought you were still a stubborn person and would continue to study hard during the summer vacation."

Who are you saying is rare?

Ji Jue became anxious.

"Can't I take a break and have some tea?"

He picked up the almost cold black tea on the table and took a sip, pretending to straighten his body: "I haven't touched the thesis all day today. I'm really enjoying life, okay!"

"Eh? It would be nice if it were true."

Ye Chun pulled out a plastic stool without hesitation and sat down beside him. He didn't care about the bag whose logo made a poor guy like Ji Jue suffocate. He threw it on the dirty table and picked up the chopsticks to eat his oatmeal bag. He was very skilled, just like he was snatching his chicken drumstick in the second cafeteria.
"I wanted to ask you out to play yesterday, but my aunt said you were still working on your thesis and wouldn't let me interrupt... How much have you written? Can you finish it before the holiday?"

"Just give it a try."

When Ji Jue thought of that paper, his head started to spin.

"Wow, you're like this again... Every time you say you know a little bit, you act like a dog instead of a human." Ye Chun glanced at him, not believing him at all: "You make me look stupid like this."

"This time it's real. I just passed the proposal report, and nothing else has been done yet."

Ji Jue raised his hands in surrender. He couldn't just say, "Don't worry, sister. I'm busy catching a group of bloodthirsty Lao Deng's accomplices. I really don't have time to finish my thesis recently."

Ye Chun smiled brightly: "If we want to slack off, let's do it together. Whoever hands in the paper is a dog. It's a deal!"

Ji Jue was already numb.

Sister, Professor Ye is your aunt, not my aunt!
Besides, after school starts, I will be a junior and you will be a graduate student, so our levels are different. How can you get a Der?
But Ye Chun always seemed to enjoy seeing him in trouble, and took pleasure in it. Even though she had been taking care of herself the whole time, she always liked to tease him, which always made him helpless.

Poor Tom was at her mercy.

It’s broken, it’s been manipulated.

Is she trying to PUA me?
Just when Ji Jue was distracted, he heard a teasing voice beside him: "Hmm... So you like that type?"

"what?"

Ji Jue was confused, "Which one? What?"

"That's the kind, big breasts and a big butt, big wavy hair, shiny black silk short skirt with red high heels. She has good taste." Ye Chun looked in the direction that Ji Jue had been looking at, and sighed.

"Where? Where?"

Ji Jue looked in the direction she was looking at blankly, and then he could no longer laugh.

He froze in place.

On the street, behind a white van, the trunk was opened. Two strong men bowed and took a heavy box from the woman next to them.

The slender figure and big, expressive eyes, with their graceful looks and charm, are so charming that one cannot take their eyes away.

That woman...

Ji Jue felt like he was falling into an icy cave.

——It was clearly the woman who kept trying to seduce me out in the auto repair shop yesterday afternoon!
She even asked me in a coquettish way to look at the car lights!

Clearly she was full of charm when he saw her yesterday, but when he looked at her again today, he could only feel that she was nauseating. Behind the light blue polarized glasses, the pair of eyes adorned with long eyelashes were clearly a rich scarlet!

So, not only Master Da Ji…but even Master Xiao Ji is in her recipe book?
Literally, edible range.

He was frozen in shock for a long time, until Ye Chun, who was standing beside him in a daze, waved his hand and glanced in front of him: "Hey, hey, come back to your senses, they have already left, how long do you have to wait?"

"what?"

Ji Jue woke up as if from a dream.

"Junior, listen to what I have to say - women in society are very cunning, and you are a minor, so you can't beat them." Ye Chun advised earnestly: "If a boy like you who has not experienced the world is tricked into her house by her, you will be locked up in the basement and tied up, and become a toy of the rich woman. From then on, you will live a life of one, three, five, steel wool, and two, four, six, small whips. You must be careful."

Ji Jue was silent for a long time, hesitating to speak: "Senior sister..."

"What?" "Well, I'm already nineteen."

"Novel age doesn't count!" Ye Chun pinched his face unhappily, "Is that the point? You didn't object to the steel wool and the whip at all.

Besides, if you go with her, what will happen to me and the two children? Wuuuuuuu! "

Under the shocked gazes of the people around him, Ji Juesheng sighed helplessly, "...Senior, next time when you act like a drama queen, could you please hide your expression a little bit?"

"Oh, I'm worried that you might make a mistake and go astray."

Ye Chun patted his shoulder, laughing, and seemed to want to say something else, but after checking the time on his phone, he sighed slightly: "Okay, I won't tease you anymore, I still have to go buy groceries.

I'm leaving now. You can eat slowly."

Ji Jue suddenly felt as if he had been pardoned. If he continued like this, he really didn't know how long he could pretend, and whether his senior sister would find out something.

After watching her go away, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Pay the bill."

"I've already paid for it, pretty boy."

Behind the counter, the boss, smoking a cigarette, glanced at him, his eyes seemed to contain some sighs, and it seemed that he saw his own beautiful youth in Ji Jue. He couldn't help but flicked the ash and sighed:
"Oh, thinking back to those days..."

Confused, Ji Jue couldn't help but look back in the direction where Ye Chun left, but he could no longer see any trace of him.

Only the phone vibrated and an emoticon came through.

【Dog head pointing at people.jpg】

[We agreed not to be a curled dog! ]

Ji Jue was stunned for a long time, and couldn't help but laughed softly: [Okay]

The screen went dark, revealing Ji Jue's smile.

To be honest, it's pretty stupid.

But relieved.

It was as if all of a sudden, the panic and anxiety receded like the tide, even though they would come back again.

First there was the Creator Truck, then the strange abilities, the Chosen Ones, the temporary workers… the bloodthirsty Old Deng, the malicious temptations, and even those inexplicable attacks - suddenly there were too many bad things.

He was dragged into these inexplicable whirlpools, not knowing where he was going.

But for a moment, he suddenly felt that he was still on the solid road and still in his own life.

He is still living well, just as he wished. Even if he is plagued by bad luck, there is still a bright future waiting for him.

So, we still have to hurry up -

Ji Jue rubbed his hands and walked in the direction where the female car owner left.

Get it done quickly and go home to write your paper!
That’s right, the curly dog ​​is me!
.
It’s over. This doesn’t seem to be easy to handle.

Ten minutes later, Ji Jue suddenly realized that he might not be able to be a curly dog ​​anymore.

He stood at the intersection, looking far away at the place where the woman disappeared in the surveillance video...

An exquisite building that stands out among its peers, with a huge parking lot outside and neon lights shining brightly in the early twilight.

That was a nightclub that Ji Jue had never been to since he was born!
The drumbeats of energetic songs could be heard faintly from the venue. People were already lining up in front of the door. Young ladies wearing very little clothing were leaning on the people next to them, and luxury cars were parked in the parking lot in front of the door like a stream. Each one of them was emitting a light that made Ji Jue tremble with fear...

This one has its paint scratched for 20,000, that one for 48,000. This one is really terrible. It needs to be sent back to the original factory in Central City, the capital of the Federation, to have the whole car repainted for 816,000. This one might even have to be sent to the Empire in the South Continent... There's another car whose brake pads seem to make some strange noises. I took it to a mainland auto repair shop to replace it with an aftermarket one. They'll have to charge at least 36,000, right?
Snapped!
Ji Jue slapped his forehead, interrupting his slippery train of thought.

In the shadows that were not illuminated by neon lights and street lamps, he stared at the lights blankly, just like any other young man passing by with no money in his pocket.

While I was hesitating, I saw... the van that I had been waiting for during the day actually went around the door and went to the back of the building.

When Ji Jue walked around, he saw the car parked in the nightclub's employee parking lot. The license plate had been replaced with a new one, and there was no one inside.

Even at the back door, there was no slackness. Through the half-open hollow iron door, one could see several burly security guards walking in the parking lot. Each of them was carrying a walkie-talkie and holding a rubber stick that looked like it was no good.

There was also one who, upon seeing Ji Jue approaching, stood still and looked over.

Ji Jue could only lower his head and leave in a hurry.

Went back to the front and looked at the security guard at the door.

Everyone who queued up to enter had to hand over something, like a membership card or something. If you have a card, you get the card, if you don’t have a card, you get the money. Some people didn’t queue up at all, and were invited in by the foreman directly by hugging the young lady, or they just hugged the foreman...

Ji Jue got a headache after seeing this.

Occasionally, there were people who tried to sneak in without a card, but they were all asked to move aside by the burly security guards in front of the door. At least they didn't seem to get beaten.

Damn, does it have to be so strict?

Water can’t be poured in, right?

Ji Jue felt a sudden headache. Unless he could suddenly produce a large amount of money, or grow wings behind him and fly up to the sky, it would be harder than dreaming to get in today.

You can't just rely on your looks to cling to a rich young lady to get in, right?

Wouldn't that make me a duck?!
Ji Jue looked at the young ladies, big sisters, and old sisters who were driving luxury cars, wearing high-end clothes, and carrying various small bags in their hands... How to say it, he suddenly felt a little shaken.

Just grit your teeth and you'll get through it, right? Maybe you can even earn some subsidies.
