"Of course it's alright, Uncle Seth, we're very strong!"
Ruby peeked her little head out from behind Ellen, grinning.
"It's good that you're alright." Seth smiled helplessly upon hearing this, touched his hair, glanced to the side, and said somewhat shyly:
"Just... could you please stop calling me 'uncle'? I'm just a trainee sheriff, much younger than the captain... ouch!"
No sooner had he finished speaking than a small pebble flew out of the smoke and hit Seth squarely on the head.
Seth turned around and saw a tall female sheriff with a tuft of pink hair coming out.
Seth rubbed the back of his head, slightly puzzled, and asked, "Captain?"
Unfortunately, Zhu Yuan showed no intention of explaining. She narrowed her eyes at Seth, a hint of danger lurking in them.
Soon after, a petite female sheriff with pigtails also came out, stood in front of Zhu Yuan, raised a finger and pointed at Seth in the air, and said leisurely:
"Born into this world, you understand human nature. Seth, you should be mindful of the boundaries in your interactions with others. I don't really care, but some people are quite particular about age."
"Senior in green robes!"
Zhu Yuan suddenly turned her head, her eyes wide open.
How can you lecture others while simultaneously targeting me?!
Unfortunately, Qingyi didn't seem to realize she had said anything wrong; instead, she turned to lecture Zhu Yuan:
"Zhu Yuan, don't be so loud. As an elder, don't be too concerned about your weaknesses. Otherwise, everyone will know to stab you in the back."
“I…I understand.”
Although Zhu Yuan always felt that Qingyi was just making excuses for her, she still chose to believe her.
Although Qingyi is not human, thanks to the powerful capabilities of AI, she has simulated countless lives of others, and her life experience far exceeds everyone's imagination.
Of course, tricks are one of them.
"Alright, everyone, find a place to rest... And remember, Zhu Yuan, as the captain, you should be the one saying this. Don't keep placing your hopes on me, what if one day..."
"No, Senior Qingyi, there's no chance of that happening!"
After telling the other officers to go and rest, Qingyi still had no intention of giving up on teaching Zhu Yuan.
However, before Zhu Yuan could finish speaking, Seth on the other side hurriedly expressed his opinion.
"I mean, what if Zhu Yuan gets promoted one day based on her own abilities? She won't be able to be in the same group as me anymore... So, Seth, do you think Zhu Yuan's abilities aren't enough to get promoted?"
The man in green sighed, thinking to himself: This young man really needs more training.
So, Qingyi casually dug a pit for Seth.
"Uh, well... with the captain's strength, he'll definitely rise quickly. I... I definitely didn't mean that."
Seth was extremely nervous, as if his tongue was tied in knots.
Sure enough, as a complete newcomer, Seth's social experience might not even be much more than Ruby's.
At least for now, Ruby's eyes lit up as she watched Seth scratching his head.
We're kindred spirits!
It turns out that Uncle Seth, like me, is a mascot who gets teased in the team!
