The boy left in disgrace.
Qi kept watching the other person until he completely disappeared from his sight, then he snorted and turned around to see Ke Jin staring at him with a half-smile.
"What's wrong?" Qi Moming felt a little uneasy at the other party's "friendly" look.
Ke Jin pointed to the chair in front of him, motioned for Qi to sit down, then crossed his hands and said with a smile on his face.
"Mr. Qi, you can actually make cards?"
"Yeah." Qi's tone was very casual, as if he didn't think there was anything strange about this. "I've dealt with some card masters before, and I learned a little bit when I was bored."
"How come you never mentioned this?"
Qi shrugged: "You didn't ask me."
"Then have you ever thought about finding a job that pays well and isn't too tiring, such as..." Ke Jin coughed lightly and looked at the silver-haired young man with sharp eyes, "Come to the card pool and be a card maker?"
Qi folded his arms, stared at Ke Jin calmly for a while, then let out a long "Oh".
"Why, you want to hire me?"
Ke Jin nodded.
"I have a criminal record." Qi raised the corners of his mouth, with a sly smile flashing in his golden eyes, "Aren't you afraid that I will take action against your card pool again?"
Ke Jin thought about it and said in a rare sinister way: "Have you forgotten that Xiaochu is still in our hands?"
"..." Qi's eye twitched and he stared at Ke Jin without saying anything for a long time.
Seeing that the other party seemed to be wavering, Ke Jin continued to work hard.
"Aren't you always imitating humans and wanting to truly integrate into human society?" Ke Jin pointed at the bustling crowd of job seekers around him, "Don't you think that getting a job like humans, even developing it into your own career, and working hard for it, and finally gaining a sense of achievement and honor, is a good experience of humanization?"
Qi's eyes flickered again, he gently stroked his chin with his hand, and after a long time, he nodded lightly.
“Interesting.”
"As a card agent, I sincerely invite you to become a member of my card pool management team." Ke Jin said sincerely.
Qi smiled, changed his sitting position, and tapped the table lightly with his hands.
"But aren't you unwilling to sign a contract with me?" His tone was very subtle.
"Contract?" Ke Jin was stunned. "There is no need to sign a contract. I am not asking you to become a card spirit in the card pool. I just hope that you can come to be a card maker... just like ordinary humans, it is enough to sign a contract with me as your employer." As he said that, Ke Jin took out a previously printed contract template from the backpack on the table.
"Look, the rights and obligations of both parties are clearly defined in it. It is not a one-sided obedience relationship... and if you have any objections, these terms can be communicated and adjusted at any time."
Qi frowned, reached out to take the contract, read it carefully, and said nothing for a long time.
"Is there anything that needs to be modified?" Ke Jin asked a little nervously as he had no idea of the other party's attitude.
"...No." He put the contract aside and rubbed his temples with his hands. "I thought too much."
"?"
"It's nothing. It has nothing to do with you." Qi had a helpless expression as if he didn't want to say anything more.
"So your answer is..."
"I don't mind giving it a try. After all, it sounds quite interesting." Qi thought for a moment, "But I'm used to wandering around and I hate being bound. I probably won't stay in one place for too long. If you want to hire me for a long time, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed."
"Oh, I understand." Ke Jin was mentally prepared for this. He took the pen next to him and wrote a line on the contract, then handed it to Qi to read. "I added a clause. What do you think?"
Qi poked his head in to take a look and nodded with satisfaction.
"Can."
Thus, Ke Jin's recruitment of card pool employees was finally successfully completed——
Employees recruited: 1 person.
***
Oloy is in a good mood today.
The shameless card spirit hadn't appeared the whole day, and the vision seemed to be brighter and wider. His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince was really satisfied with this.
In the afternoon, he went to the card pool in the yard to draw cards as usual. Although "Butter Cookie" could not draw SSR cards within a month, Orloy's luck was still invincible in other cards - this time, he drew three cards, and all three hit, all SSR.
After waving and taking the card, he habitually turned to the back to take a look at the attributes, and found that the divination that appeared this time was unexpectedly different from what he had seen before.
——【Little evil. Enemies often meet on a narrow road, and the future is uncertain.】
ha?
Oloy frowned, thinking it was ridiculous—
How could a lucky guy like me (someone once again selectively forgot the few bad luck events he had encountered) draw a "little bad luck"?
Well, it seems that the impact that guy had on the card pool was such that not only could a single card not produce an SSR, but even the accuracy of the divination was affected... There was no doubt that the divination was inaccurate, completely inaccurate.
After coming to a firm conclusion, Oloy threw the three SSRs into his own card library. Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the house, he suddenly heard footsteps outside the courtyard gate, and then saw Ke Jin and Qi walking in chatting together.
Oloy: “???”
How come they suddenly become so close?
…
No, no, the point should be - how did these two people come back together? ?
"Hi, Ounuo, I'm back." As soon as he entered the door, he saw the boy standing in the middle of the yard, and Ke Jin greeted him naturally.
But the boy ignored him and kept his eyes fixed on Qi behind Ke Jin.
"Ounuo?" Ke Jin felt that Ounuo's expression was very strange, so he waved his hand in front of him curiously, "Hey? What's wrong with you?"
The boy finally turned his gaze back to Ke Jin, his expression tense and he seemed very dissatisfied.
"What's going on?" he asked sternly, "Why are the two of you walking together? Didn't you go to the downtown area of Qixing City?"
"Yeah." Ke Jin nodded, "Qi just happened to be going there too, so we went together."
"That's right." Qi agreed with a smile, "Xiao Jin and I went to the city together and had a great time all day... Hehe, you must have been tired looking after the house by yourself, little one. Did you feel lonely?"
Oloy: “…”
What did this guy call Ke Jin just now? Xiao Jin? ?
…
I%￥＃%!!! Did you call me Xiao Jin? How long have you known each other and you call me that intimately!!! Damn it!!! I have never called you that!!!
Ke Jin walked a few steps towards the house and found Ou Nuo still standing there, a little confused.
"Ounuo, why are you standing here? Aren't you going into the house?"
Oloy glared at Qi fiercely, then turned and spoke to Ke Jin with an innocent look.
"I suddenly feel very tired... Brother Ke Jin, can you carry me in?"
Qi raised his eyebrows and almost burst out laughing; although Ke Jin felt that the boy's request was a bit sudden, he didn't think there was anything wrong with it.
"Oh...Okay."
Oloy was contentedly picked up by Ke Jin, but before he could feel proud for long, he turned his head and found that Qi had also followed him and seemed to be heading towards the house.
"Why are you following us?" Oloy's face was extremely unfriendly and his tone was extremely fierce.
"I want to go in too." Qi pointed at the hut with a smile, "Xiao Jin said I can live here."
Oloy: “…”
Am I hallucinating? What did this guy just say?
…
Live, here?!?!
"Oh, I forgot to tell you just now." Ke Jin heard the conversation between the two and explained to Ou Nuo while opening the door.
"Qi will be the new card master of my card pool from today on. He will be responsible for making and renewing cards. He doesn't have a fixed place to live, so he will just squeeze in with us for the time being."
Oloy felt like he was going to die. "What?! Are you crazy? Let him be the card master here?!"
"Qi's card-making skills are pretty good." Ke Jin carried Ou Nuo into the house, put him directly on the sofa, and then went to pack his backpack.
"Well, the contract has been signed. It's a two-month probation period, during which our relationship is mutually selective. In other words, if he's not satisfied, he can leave at any time, and if I'm not satisfied, I can also let him leave at any time."
I am very dissatisfied now! ! Let him go immediately! ! !
"Some unpleasant things happened before," Qi looked at Oloy with a smile, and patted the contract in his hand to the boy proudly, "But from today on, Xiao Jin and I are good partners. Please give me more guidance, little one."
My good friend, what the hell are you?! Get out of here right now!
Oloy was so angry that he slammed the armrest of the sofa: "I don't agree! I object!!"
Ke Jin expected that Ounuo would be unhappy, and he was planning to coax this little ancestor, but Naqi spoke first.
"You don't agree? Haha, little guy, don't you think you have the least say?" As if he didn't notice the other party's eyes that wanted to kill him immediately, Qi's smile was always calm and elegant.
"I am now 'turning over a new leaf'. What is it in Xiao Jin's words... Oh, I have turned over a new leaf, accepted reform, worked diligently, and actively labored, constantly striving to be closer to human life. And what about you?" Qi changed the subject and glanced at Oloy provocatively.
"You're just here to eat and drink for free, right? If we really need to kick someone out, it should be you, haha."
***
Ke Jin had to use a lot of effort to hold down Ou Nuo, who was clamoring to kill Qi immediately.
"No fighting here! Do you want to tear off the roof and leave us sleeping on the street?"
After teaching the boy a lesson, Ke Jin turned around and gave Qi a severe scolding.
"Don't stir up trouble! Do you want him to tie you up and beat you up again? Don't ask me to beg for mercy when the time comes!"
Ounuo was not convinced: "It's obviously him￥%%...＆&*!!"
Qi also felt wronged: "But I%...￥&...％＠!!"
Ke Jin had been out for the whole day and was already a little tired. Now, when he heard two people arguing fiercely in his ear, he immediately became angry.
"Shut up, everyone!" Ke Jin said angrily, pointing his hand toward the door. "Whoever makes another noise will get out of this room! Right now!"
...The world is finally quiet.
***
At dinner time in the evening.
Oloy had just sat down in his seat when he saw Qi dragging a chair and sitting opposite him.
The corners of Oloy's eyes twitched wildly, and the sound was almost squeezed out from between his teeth.
"What are you sitting here for?"
Qi said as if it was a matter of course: "Let's have dinner."
Bullshit! What kind of food do you, a Kaling, eat? !
"Doesn't Karling only eat card energy?" Ke Jin asked Qi curiously as he brought the hot tomato beef brisket soup to the table.
"That was the case with the low-level card spirits, but I am different from them. I can also eat some human food." Qi generously served himself a bowl of soup, "But the main energy supply comes from cards, of course. Human food is like your snacks to me - it's okay to eat it occasionally, but it's not okay to eat it as a meal every day."
"So that's how it is. How magical." Ke Jin exclaimed.
Qi took a sip of soup with a spoon, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.
"Hey, Xiao Jin, your cooking skills are pretty good. They're better than those of some human chefs I've eaten."
"Eh? Really?" Ke Jin was still happy to be praised.
"Actually, this soup can be prepared in another way. When I was in the Cancer Galaxy, people there usually prepared it this way...%＆%#..."
"Oh, there is actually such a method! In that case, we can also handle it this way...%#＃%..."
The two culinary masters soon started a heated discussion, and Ke Jin even took out his communicator and started taking notes in the memo on it.
Oloy, who knows nothing about cooking, said: “…………”
Can we still have a quiet dinner? Is it a big deal to be able to cook? ! ! ! !
***
This meal was simply the most frustrating meal that Oloy had ever had.
During this time, he wanted to put the soup basin directly on the head of Qi, who was "flirting (?)" with Ke Jin countless times. He also made countless plans in his mind, thinking about how to get this hateful (electric) mixed (light) egg (bubble) out once and for all.
Just as Oloy was planning the 101st plan to drive people away, Ke Jin, who was sitting opposite him, seemed to remember something and suddenly said.
"Oh, by the way, Uno, you and I will go to the city tomorrow."
"Huh?" The boy was stunned. "What are you going to do in the city?"
"I'll register you." Ke Jin said while eating, "I mentioned it to you once before. The Xingchen International School in Qixing City is very good. I have made an appointment with the teacher there and will take you to register tomorrow. At your age, you should be in the third grade of elementary school... Of course, if you are worried about not being able to keep up, you can apply to be in the second grade."
Oloy almost spit out the soup in his mouth.
"--What?!!!!!"
