The Party Secretary's Office.
“Zhou Yi, this is Secretary Guo Huaiyu,” Ouyang Fei introduced.
Secretary Guo had a square face and was about 50 years old. He looked at the documents in his hand, his brows furrowed slightly, exuding an air of authority without anger.
"Alright, Xiaofei, you can go out now."
Ouyang Fei hesitated, then glanced coldly at the person beside her.
A young man was leaning against the sofa next to him.
He crossed his legs, a cigarette dangling from his lips, and his eyes were heavy with sleep.
"You are Zhou Yi?" Secretary Guo raised his head and scrutinized Zhou Yi with a critical gaze.
Zhou Yi nodded.
Secretary Guo tossed the documents in his hand.
"Your skills and abilities don't match the information you've registered with at all!"
Zhou Yi raised an eyebrow: "So, what does the secretary mean?"
"Ouyang Fei should have already conveyed the spirit of the meeting to you. All personnel on the payroll must register their background, abilities, game equipment, missions, and strategies, and keep the information updated in real time," Secretary Guo said calmly.
"You have been unwilling to disclose this information in the past, and you have never participated in any activities organized by Bureau 749 in the game. This is a serious violation of discipline. Go back immediately and write a self-criticism, and rectify the situation within the specified time!"
Zhou Yi calmly said, "I remember when Bureau 749 invited me to join, there were no such rules."
Secretary Guo tapped the table with his finger.
"The past is the past, the present is the present! Now I am the head of the Demon City branch, and my demands are the highest demands!"
"You need to understand your place! Since you're on the government payroll, you should take on the corresponding responsibilities!"
He softened his tone, "But considering that you've performed well on several occasions, I can consider reducing your punishment and assessing your allowance for two months."
"In addition, the Demon City branch is preparing to form a guild. You should leave your original guild and join the branch's guild, and strive to contribute to the guild."
Zhou Yi looked at the other person as if they were an idiot.
Does this guy even know what he's saying?
"What? You're not willing?" Secretary Guo frowned immediately when he saw Zhou Yi's expression.
"You should know that behavior like this would be a major demerit in the organization. Giving you this chance is already very kind of you. I hope you won't let a small thing cause you to lose a big one!"
Zhou Yi shrugged. "Sorry, I refuse!"
Secretary Guo immediately narrowed his eyes. "What did you say? Say it again!"
Are you hard of hearing?
"Damn it! You're so ungrateful!" The man sitting on the sofa suddenly stood up, pulled out a pistol, and pointed it at Zhou Yi.
"You little bastard! You think this is still a game? I'll shoot you dead, let's see how you respawn then!"
Zhou Yi turned his head and looked at the person, finding him somewhat familiar.
The young man, seeing that Zhou Yi remained silent, assumed he was afraid and gave a contemptuous smile.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Guo Ming, Ouyang Fei's fiancé, and my game name is Little Rascal."
Zhou Yi immediately remembered.
"Oh, so you're that newbie mage who got kicked out of the team."
"You...you son of a bitch! I'll blow your brains out!" Guo Ming roared in fury.
The humiliation of the past few days resurfaced in my mind.
"Alright!" Secretary Guo waved his hand.
"Zhou Yi! As long as you agree to your previous request, I can make the decision to only assess your salary for one month. This is my final concession!"
That matter-of-fact tone almost made Zhou Yi laugh in anger.
Zhou Yi pointed to the pistol. "Is this how you do things? If I don't agree, are you going to shoot me?"
Secretary Guo leaned back in his office chair and said calmly, "This is a special period, and it's not that we're targeting you intentionally."
"Kid! Think it over before you speak! I don't want to hear another 'no'," Guo Ming said coldly.
I've already started fantasizing about how to create a version of the I Ching.
Zhou Yi chuckled softly.
What a pair of father and son, one with red faces and the other with white.
"What are you laughing at?" Guo Ming frowned.
"I laugh at your overestimation of your abilities."
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yi had already flashed in front of Guo Ming.
Guo Ming reacted very quickly and tried to pull the trigger.
But Zhou Yi had already gripped Guo Ming's wrist and lifted it upwards.
Bang!
The bullet hit the ceiling.
Then came a snap, and Guo Ming's arm was bent upwards at a 90-degree angle.
A sharp bone pierced the skin.
The pistol had already fallen into Zhou Yi's hands.
Guo Ming was stunned for two seconds, then let out a desperate scream.
"You bastard!" Secretary Guo slammed his fist on the table and stood up.
Zhou Yi raised his pistol and pointed it.
"What? Does the secretary want to experience the power of a pistol?"
Secretary Guo's mind cleared up instantly.
"Zhou Yi! Don't do anything foolish! If anything happens to me, you won't have a place to stay in the entire Dragon Kingdom!"
"Bastard! I'll kill you!" Guo Ming condensed a fireball in his other hand and threw it at Zhou Yi.
With a flick of his wrist, Zhou Yi sent the fireball veering off course and crashing into the desk, quickly setting it ablaze.
He raised his hand high and delivered a powerful, heavy blow.
With a snap.
Guo Ming spun around three times on the spot.
"Stop!" Secretary Guo shouted.
Guo Ming was completely dumbfounded.
I've never been hit like this before, not even once in my life.
"I……"
Zhou Yi raised his foot and delivered a side kick.
Guo Ming was sent flying backwards, crashing against the wall and slowly sliding down.
Clang!
The door was opened.
Ouyang Fei rushed into the office in a hurry, and the scene in front of her made her stunned.
Then, looking anxious, she said, "Zhou Yi! Don't be impulsive! He represents the Central Plains."
A group of armed men rushed into the room, carrying automatic rifles and aiming them at Zhou Yi.
