After that day, the others never came to see Lin Xi again.

Only Cheng Sheng, because his workstation was close to hers, would still chatter away every day, gossiping with her or complaining about the bizarre phone calls he received that day.

In one month, Lin Xi completed a total of four system tasks.

Now we don't have as much free time; we can only squeeze in the one day off we have each week.

However, the accumulated points are getting closer and closer to 20,000.

My first day on the job in my second month with the city guard team.

Lin Xi had been answering phone calls for half the day and listening to others complain about their family matters for most of the day, so she was already numb.

She's figured it out now.

If you can get one serious phone call in a day, that's considered a great success.

As the break time approached, Captain Ma Haoyu, along with Xiao Ge, walked around in front of them several times with a solemn expression.

Lin Xi rested her chin on her hand and started to slack off.

Anyway, as Xiao Ge said before, although work performance is important, it is not that important in the face of absolute strength.

Anyway, I'm sure I'll stand out in the internal selection competition two months from now.

Ma Haoyu looked at her, his brows furrowed tightly.

Lin Xi found it a bit strange.

Normally, if Captain Ma found her late or slacking off, he would inevitably come over and give her a long and earnest scolding.

What's going on today?

She was mentally prepared, but Ma Haoyu didn't come to yell at her!

Is there any justice in this world?

I'm just saying, if you're not going to swear, then leave! Those eyes were staring intently at her, and it was kind of creepy.

Finally, Ma Haoyu's foot moved.

The direction of the steps they took seemed to be towards themselves.

Lin Xi sat up straight instantly.

"Third brother, come to my office first." His tone was much gentler than usual, with a hint of inexplicable regret.

"What? You're not going to fire me, are you? I swear, I've been working diligently and conscientiously while I was employed! You can't just fire me like this..."

"Shut up! Just go when I tell you to, stop talking so much nonsense."

Lin Xi immediately fell silent; she felt as if she could see three black lines on his forehead.

Xiao Ge smiled gently, her eyes crinkling slightly. "Our city protection team doesn't easily dismiss its employees, so don't worry."

Lin Xi nodded, half believing and half doubting.

After Ma Haoyu finished speaking to himself, he immediately turned around and left.

It's like a starving ghost reincarnated.

However, Lin Xi was familiar with his office; he had passed by it several times even before joining the city guard team, so there was no need for him to wait for them.

Cheng Sheng glanced at her, about to ask something, when the phone screen started flashing again. Resigned, she put on the headset, "Hello..."

As Lin Xi walked through the noisy operator area, the air instantly quieted down, and she felt her entire mind relax.

Push open the door to Ma Haoyu's office.

The two faces inside looked over at the same time.

Lin Xi was stunned.

What's going on?

She even knew one of them!

Yuechi?

Isn't he from the military region?

There was another woman, whose appearance was completely unfamiliar, but judging from the uniform she was wearing, she was also from the military region.

Why were people from the military region in Ma Haoyu's office?

Since the military personnel were in his office, why did Captain Ma have to come over himself?

So, he wasn't looking for her to criticize her, but rather it was related to the military region?

"Is this the third brother?" the woman said, looking at Yue Chi with a hint of a smile. "Your video has really made our military region lose face."

Yue Chi nonchalantly flicked his fingernails. "Go ahead and hit me if you dare."

The woman wasn't angry. Instead, she looked at Lin Xi with a friendly expression and said, "Hello, my name is Xin Ning."

"Um."

Xin Ning frowned. Hmm? She hadn't expected this newcomer to have such an attitude.

She lowered her head, and when she raised it again, the smile in her eyes was not diminished at all. "It's okay. Although we are not familiar with each other now, we will spend more time together in the military region in two months. Maybe we will even be roommates."

Lin Xi finally reacted, "What do you mean? We need to register for accommodation to enter the military area?"

Xin Ning didn't know why she was so bothered by this. "Of course, it's called a military region now, so the management system isn't much different from the old military management."

This was the first time she had ever heard of it.

She couldn't help but start to worry. If she went to the military region, wouldn't her older sister and younger sister have to live here alone?

It seems she'll have to find someone to look after them, otherwise she's really afraid that if she's not there to watch over them, they might turn the world upside down on Worry-Free Island.

Not long after they started chatting, Ma Haoyu and Xiao Ge returned, and the door remained open when they came in.

Lin Xi walked over and was about to close the door when a hand with distinct knuckles gripped the doorframe. The thing was, she was quite familiar with this hand.

Sure enough, Jiang Chuan revealed half of his face, looking at her with one eye as if she were trash.

Lin Xi lowered her head and stepped aside, pretending nothing had happened.

Ma Haoyu and Xiao Ge were also surprised by her actions.

What the heck?

In broad daylight, under the clear sky, she's actually engaging in internal strife here.

"Why are you still blocking the doorway? Come over a little." Ma Haoyu tried to keep his tone calm.

Looking at Jiang Chuan's eyes, he could easily tell that there was a personal grudge between the two.

But what exactly did the third sister do? How could she make even the usually emotionally stable Jiang Chuan dislike her?

After much deliberation, Ma Haoyu became even more confused.

Aside from being occasionally late and sometimes spacing out at work, the third child doesn't seem to have any other problems.

Lin Xi really didn't want to stand too close to Jiang Chuan, so she immediately obediently moved to another spot.

Being disliked by him is the least of my worries.

If I lose control and do something habitual that he notices, that would be terrible.

"Alright, when it comes to important matters, put personal grudges aside. Besides, we work in the same place, we'll run into each other all the time, so why not just talk things out? The way you're acting makes it seem like our city guard team has internal conflicts," Ma Haoyu couldn't help but complain.

Jiang Chuan didn't speak, and neither did Lin Xi.

Ma Haoyu sighed, "Alright, let's talk about the important matters first. The military region came here specifically to borrow the two of you for a high-level mission."

"Advanced mission?" Lin Xi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this name. "What makes it advanced?"

“It’s the kind of situation where there’s a fifty percent chance of losing your life,” Xin Ning replied, half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Huh?" Lin Xi immediately feigned a troubled expression. "Don't you have people in your military region? Why are you looking for me?"

"This is about trusting your abilities."

When Ma Haoyu heard Xin Ning say that, he didn't feel proud at all.

In truth, he didn't want his city guards to take on this kind of job.

A 50% mortality rate is no joke.
