It was a rare moment when the computer "found its conscience". Ye Zhou was amazed by the variety of bodyguard options after just flipping through a few pages.
Although the photos of these bodyguards all look like people, once you click on the picture, the person's age, gender, race, personality and hobbies will pop up.
Yes—and race.
However, this race is different from what Ye Zhou understood.
When he came across a photo of a little girl, he clicked on it out of curiosity. When the information appeared, he was shocked by the girl's age.
The girl looked less than ten years old, with a chubby round face. Her skin looked too pale, probably because of the filter she used, but her eyes were big and her pupils seemed a little red. She grinned at the camera, with her fangs somewhat noticeable.
Four hundred and twenty years old?
Ye Zhou: “…”
One look at the race - vampire.
Ye Zhou swallowed.
In addition to vampires, there are werewolves, magicians, cyborgs, and "people" whose race names reveal that they are aliens.
It is difficult to find a real "human" here.
Ye Zhou's worldview was shattered.
Is this okay?
Fortunately, hiring a bodyguard requires signing a contract, which can guarantee the interests and personal safety of both the employer and the employee.
In other words, Ye Zhou doesn't have to worry about the hired bodyguards turning against him.
No matter what the bodyguard's personality is, at least he won't hurt him or rob his supermarket.
And no matter what the situation, he will never abandon him and run away.
These people cannot be interviewed. He just clicks on the hire button after he picks them, so he can only judge the cost-effectiveness of these people from a few words in the introduction.
The most expensive one had a monthly salary of two million. Ye Zhou gave up immediately after seeing the price.
No matter how capable this person is, whether he can be worth a hundred or even ten thousand people, he cannot afford to hire him.
There are also lower prices, such as the vampire girl, who only earns three thousand a month.
But Ye Zhou didn't dare to hire someone because the price was too low, for fear that the price would be proportional to his ability. He needed a bodyguard, not a daughter to raise.
Three thousand yuan, he doesn't look like a capable person at all.
And what do vampires usually eat? He can't be saving people while killing people for her to drink blood, right?
This doesn’t work either.
Ye Zhou could only look for bodyguards in the mid-range price range.
He himself prefers a "human" bodyguard, with whom he can get along better. It would be best if he is Chinese. If not Chinese, then it would be best if he is Asian, and he must be able to speak Chinese.
This way, his options became much smaller.
But because there are fewer choices, it actually becomes simpler.
Ye Zhou only looked at bodyguards with Asian faces in the mid-range price range, but their race was indicated in the profile but not their nationality.
Now Ye Zhou could only rely on his intuition.
After spending three hours, Ye Zhou finally picked out three people.
He spent another hour debating before finally deciding on two people.
Three people would cost too much, two people would be just right. When he earns more money, he can hire security guards, a chef, and a doctor.
"There shouldn't be any need for a summoning ceremony, right?" Ye Zhou leaned back in his chair after clicking the hire button.
He was now just curious about how the bodyguard would come to his door.

"What should I do?" Li Si couldn't stop shaking all over when he reported the news.
Even though they have magical weapons given by immortals, ordinary people's fear of bandits is still engraved in their bones.
These people are monsters who kill without blinking an eye and do not care about human life at all.
In his entire life, Li Si had killed chickens only a handful of times - the chickens raised at home were all used to lay eggs in exchange for salt, and they were only slaughtered when they were sick or old and could no longer lay eggs.
Wu Yan was also afraid, but he forced himself to say, "Don't be afraid, let's wait until they leave."
It is difficult to get around now, unless you go back, but there is nothing behind.
If you want to fulfill the immortal's instructions, you can only go south.
"They are just mortals no matter what." Wu Yan comforted everyone, "We have immortal magic weapons, so why should we be afraid of them?"
This statement barely calmed the employees, but they still looked panicked.
Li Si whispered, "Why are there yellow bandits here? The yellow bandits are so powerful, shouldn't they have headed south early?"
Chen Liu suddenly said, "I once heard from an old hunter in the mountains that the bandits never troubled the elderly, women, and children. They only killed corrupt officials and wealthy landlords who were unkind and rich."
Li Si glared at him and said, "If Huang Bandit was so easy to talk to, how could he have such a vicious reputation?"
"These words must have been made up by the hunter to deceive you!"
Chen Liu retorted: "How do you know that the Huang bandits are really as rumored? Maybe it's because they killed corrupt officials that they were given such a vicious reputation?"
"Alright!" Wu Yan shouted in a low voice, "No matter whether they are good or bad, we can only hide now."
"Wait until they leave, then we'll catch up."
"We all come out together, and we must avoid internal strife."
Li Si and Chen Liu stopped arguing, but neither of them was convinced by the other, and both believed that they were the one who had understood the truth.
Wu Yan called Chen Liu aside and asked in a low voice: "Have you ever thought about it?"
He could hear from Chen Liu's words that he was defending the Huang bandit. Either he had been a Huang bandit, or he wanted to be one.
Chen Liu did not hide it. He said confidently: "If Huang Bandit did not take in old and young, I would have left the mountain long ago!"
He held his breath, and now he dared to let it out: "My parents almost starved to death a few years ago! My family grows wheat, and after the autumn harvest, the court sent people to collect the grain. We grow our own grain, but we almost starved to death. Why?!"
"Those corrupt officials should have been killed long ago!" Chen Liu's eyes were red, as if he had returned to that time.
The wind blows the wheat waves, everything is golden, it is a rare year of bumper harvest.
He had thought it through by then. After paying the taxes, he would have enough food for a year, build a small house, and then he would be able to marry a wife.
But the grain collector came.
Most of the food in the house was taken away, and the remaining food was not enough for the family to wait until the next autumn.
Chen Liu panted, "Later, I heard from the old hunter that the Huang bandits are short of people now, and as long as I am willing to go up the mountain, I will be given resettlement fees."
"The Huang bandits don't kill good people, old or young, or women. Compared to the imperial court, the Huang bandits are more like the imperial court!"
Wu Yan looked at him, but he didn't see any sign of lying on his face, so he asked again, "How sure are you?"
Chen Liu: “I’m very sure.”
Chen Liulue said anxiously: "Those rumors that Huang Bandit killed people like crazy are just stories. If Huang Bandit was really that vicious and cruel, how could he leave anyone alive?"
Wu Yan frowned, thought for a long time, and then looked at Chen Liu: "Let's go first."
Chen Liu: "Brother Wu, please let me pass, I will go and talk to them!"
Wu Yan: "What are you going to say? Say we have immortals to help us and want to save the good people? Then what? Take them back? If these people are bad guys, how will the immortals look at us?!"
Chen Liu: "They must not be bad guys!"
Wu Yan no longer looked at him: "You have no say, unless you are an immortal who knows everything in the world and can see through people's hearts."
Chen Liu still didn't give up: "If they are bad guys, I will kill myself with a headbutt!"
"You don't recognize them, but you think they are good people just because they are wearing yellow belts." Wu Yan didn't understand where Chen Liu got his confidence from. "Even if they were not bad people before, what about now?"
Chen Liu said anxiously: "Brother Wu! I have been to the mountain before!"
Wu Yan was shocked, his eyes widened: "Have you ever been a gangster?!"
Chen Liu also realized that he had let the cat out of the bag, but once the words were out, there was no way he could take them back, so he gritted his teeth and nodded.
"When my parents were about to starve to death, I went up the mountain." Chen Liu smiled bitterly, "The imperial court wanted to kill our family, but the bandit Huang, who was rumored to have killed countless people, saved our lives. From then on, I followed Huang to work, and my parents only told the villagers that I was an apprentice in the town."
"I couldn't bear to leave my parents behind during the drought, so I returned home." Chen Liu patted his chest and said, "I stayed in the mountains for three years. You can't become a bandit just because you want to. My brothers and I have all worshipped Lord Guan and sworn an oath."
Chen Liu: "The king has set the rules. We don't rob ordinary people, we don't rob landlords who treat their tenants well, we don't rob the elderly and women, and we don't rob honest officials."
"We only rob the local bullies, the rich and unkind, and the corrupt officials."
"Do you know the person next to the fire?" Wu Yan couldn't help but ask.
Chen Liu nodded repeatedly: "I recognize them, they are all brothers who worshipped Guan Erye with me, Brother Wu! They have never harmed good people, please save their lives!"
"Chen Liu, it's not that I don't believe you." Wu Yan patted his shoulder, "But this is a serious matter. There are only five of us, and none of the brothers who came out have ever fought with anyone. No matter how much you guarantee, they are bandits after all."
"A person who has killed someone cannot be called a good person."
Chen Liu said blankly: "They killed the evil ones."
Wu Yan said sternly: "That also means his hands are stained with blood and he is involved in a murder case!"
Wu Yan pursed his lips and said: "The immortal can forgive you and save you, but I am not an immortal, so I cannot make the decision."
Chen Liu didn't know how to refute.
Tears welled up in his eyes: "Brother Wu, they are really not bad people..."
When he was in the most difficult time, his brothers shared their rations and asked him to take them back to his parents.
The first time he worked, his brothers saw that he was afraid and told him to hide at the back, but they still gave him a share of the work afterwards.
Chen Liu's body swayed, and suddenly he pressed down his knees, and with a "thump", he knelt down in front of Wu Yan.
"Brother Wu, Brother Wu! Please save them!"
"Give them my rations!"
Chen Liu: "Don't take them back! Give them my rations!"
He cried in a low voice: "I have never been to school, I don't understand the truth, I only know that they saved me, the saints said that a drop of water should be repaid with a spring, if I don't repay, I am not a human being!"
Wu Yan anxiously pulled him up: "Don't kneel! I answer you!"
"When it gets darker, throw your rations over."
"But you are not allowed to recognize them, and you are not allowed to take them on the road!"
"Chen Liu, it's not that I'm heartless, but we can't afford the risk."
He knew that Chen Liu was not lying, but they themselves had nothing and relied on the immortal for everything they had. How could they be generous to the immortal?
Allowing Chen Liu to share his own rations was the best Wu Yan could do.
If these people were good people, God would not have abandoned them.
But their hands were stained with blood, so Wu Yan could never take them back.
Chen Liu wiped his tears and stood up on his knees: "I know."
Everyone has his own destiny and cannot be forced.
