That day, Liu Guang was stunned to see a group of men standing shirtless on the beach, looking like grilled fish.
"Teacher N, what's wrong with you...?"
"You should go too."
Before he could finish speaking, Qi Jiu interrupted him. The girl didn't even look up, her voice flat.
"Huh? What do you mean... Ouch!"
Perhaps growing impatient, the girl didn't give him a chance to finish speaking and kicked him. "Just go! Enough with the nonsense!"
Liuguang: "..."
She was dressed in military green casual wear, and although she wore a mask, those around her could still tell she was different. Especially her eyes—why did they look so sinister today?
Looking at them was like looking at... prisoners?
"Based on previous results, you are at the bottom. It's normal to be punished for losing, right? Push-ups are not difficult for you. So, push-ups, keep doing them until your clothes are soaked with sweat, keep doing them until you can't do any more."
Everyone was stunned by these words.
But Qi Jiu didn't give them a chance to react at all, saying, "Your island lord tacitly approved it."
The implication is that these words were not her own, but rather the will of the island lord of Death Gate Island.
Everyone: "..."
When Chong Yu saw rows of mercenaries, standing neatly like grilled fish, doing push-ups like they were doing their lives off: "..."
what happened?
It would take some time for them to do push-ups, but Qi Jiu wasn't in a hurry. She somehow got hold of a beach chair with a large parasol next to it.
She lay sprawled on a beach chair, with chilled drinks on a small table beside her.
Judging from her appearance, anyone who didn't know better would think she was on vacation.
"N, what's wrong with you...?"
"You've come." The girl adjusted her mask and pointed with her pretty finger at the group of people doing push-ups.
"You're going too? Your grades are an eyesore. I always treat everyone equally."
Chongyu: "..."
Looking at the mercenaries who were doing push-ups with their second-in-command: "..."
Is the world about to change?
They're supposed to be mercenaries from Dead Gate Island, terrified even in the face of gunfire, and now they're completely subservient to a computer guy? Is there no law anymore?!
The girl seemed to be able to read minds; the corner of her mouth curved into an extremely arrogant smile. "I am the law! Hurry up and do it! If you keep dawdling, you won't get to eat!"
Mercenaries: "..."
The sun had moved a large step forward in the sky, and somehow, the mercenaries who had been doing push-ups on the beach were now soaked to the bone, as if they had just taken a shower.
Sweat streamed down his forehead and clothes.
My arms were trembling slightly.
They didn't know how many push-ups they did, or how long they did them; they only knew that they did them from dawn until the sun was about to set.
My arms are so sore now, they feel like they're borrowed.
Qi Jiu looked at the mercenaries lying on the beach like dead fish, stood up from the beach chair, and seemed to be in a pretty good mood.
That's all for today.
These words were like a get-out-of-jail-free card; as soon as they were spoken, the dead fish on the beach burst into a wail.
"Ouch... my arm..."
"My arm is going to be ruined..."
Once the mission was over, they started chatting.
"Have you heard? Sister Meng is back. I haven't seen her in so long."
"N must really like her. She's quite talented in computer science, especially among our mercenaries. In terms of computer skills, she's pretty good."
"..."
Qi Jiu didn't listen to what was said next and turned to leave.
On the other side, the helipad on Deadgate Island.
Looking at the familiar surroundings, Meng Han's smile widened, her eyes filled with excitement.
"Sister Xiaoyu, you said they must be very happy that I'm back. I haven't seen those brothers in a long time."
Liu Yu looked at her, her face expressionless. "Probably."
Her attitude wasn't enthusiastic, but Meng Han seemed used to it and smiled brightly.
Main building offices.
Qi Silin looked at Liu Yu in front of him and flipped through the documents in his hand. "Thank you for your hard work."
If they secure this partnership, Deathgate Island will have more opportunities to venture out into the world.
"Master, this is what I should do."
Liu Yu's lips curled up slightly, a rare occurrence.
Standing behind Liu Yu, Meng Han's eyes never left Qi Silin. Noticing the quiet atmosphere in the office, she took the initiative to speak.
"Island Master, Sister Xiaoyu is amazing in this collaboration. She completely baffled the other party with just a few words. I didn't even have much of a role to play."
She took a step forward, but Qi Silin ignored her. Chong Yu stood beside her, holding her phone, seemingly not intending to say anything either.
The air suddenly went quiet, and an awkward silence descended. Meng Han looked at Liu Yu with pleading eyes, but Liu Yu remained silent.
Pretend you didn't see that look.
She could tell that her master didn't like this person. Since her master didn't like this person, then she didn't like him either.
The worst thing is when the air suddenly goes quiet~
Seeing that no one in the entire office spoke up for her, Meng Han's face flushed slightly. Just as she was about to say something more, Qi Silin looked up.
"This is none of your business. Get out."
The man's voice was deep, cold, and distant.
"Huh?" Meng Han didn't react immediately and subconsciously wanted to look at Liu Yu, but before the other party could give an answer, the office door was pushed open.
"Click".
A noise drew the attention of everyone in the office.
Meng Han looked at the newcomer with a puzzled expression in her eyes.
A delicate silver mask hangs on her face, her upper body is covered by a cropped top and a black outer garment, and her lower body is covered by cargo pants and Martin boots, exuding a casual yet slightly sexy vibe.
She has a great figure and is a walking clothes rack, but why is she wearing a silver mask?
For some reason, she suddenly felt a sense of crisis. Whether it was towards Death Gate Island, or towards… the island lord.
"Who are you? Why didn't you knock before entering the island owner's office?"
An inexplicable hostility surfaced as Qi Jiu stared at her, her dark eyes unfathomable.
"Your island lord has given me special permission; I don't need to knock." The girl spoke without batting an eye, as if it were the truth.
Actually, there was no special permission from the island owner. It was because she never knocked when she came in. Qi Silin had mentioned this issue at the beginning, but she never listened.
Qi Silin: "..."
Chongyu: "..."
Don't be so ridiculous.
"Then you can't..."
"Alright! This is an honored guest of our Death Gate Island! Speak politely!" Chong Yu finally couldn't hold back anymore, his eyes filled with impatience.
Why is this woman so annoying? She keeps chattering away, doesn't she know no one in the office is paying any attention to her? If she weren't a member of Death Gate Island, he would have kicked her out long ago!
The words "distinguished guest" caused Meng Han's expression to freeze slightly.
