Chapter 438: Chapter 196 You Don’t Even Want to Call Me Instructor!_1

Lin Baici entered the washroom and found an unopened toothbrush and toothpaste set on the washbasin, even the tooth mug was new.

"Use that blue towel!"

Gu Qingxiang’s voice came from the kitchen.

Lin Baici glanced at it, and it was also new.

He washed up quickly and went to the kitchen: "What can I do?"

"Just wait to eat!"

Gu Qingxiang did not turn around, still frying eggs, but a wry smile appeared on her face at the sound of Lin Baici’s voice.

Yesterday, when Lin Baici suddenly hugged her, she was quite startled. But who would have thought, this lad would end up calling her ’Mom’.

He did not act inappropriately; he was just emotionally exhausted and seeking a haven for his spirit.

At that moment, Gu Qingxiang felt a little unhappy because she was only a few years older than Lin Baici, yet she was being regarded as a ’mother’ figure.

Lin Baici didn’t leave; he wanted to apologize, but he was too embarrassed to say the words as they approached his lips.

Ah!

Lin Baici observed Gu Qingxiang, the female counselor in home attire, appreciating the way her skirt clung to her waist and hips, outlining her lovely curves.

Her skilled cooking and bustling silhouette gave Lin Baici a sense of warmth and security, and he suddenly began to enjoy this way of life.

So he leaned against the door frame, watching Gu Qingxiang.

Click!

Gu Qingxiang heard the sound of a photo being taken with a smartphone, turned around, and saw Lin Baici aiming his phone at her, causing her cheeks to instantly blush.

"What are you doing?"

Gu Qingxiang felt a hint of embarrassment: "Delete it quickly!"

"Keep it as a memento!"

Lin Baici chuckled, "To me, yesterday was like a rebirth!"

"You would only be reborn when you transition from a boy to a man!"

Gu Qingxiang glanced at Lin Baici: "The state you were in yesterday was purely because you were overfed and had too much idle time on your hands!"

"..."

Lin Baici was awkward.

"But you are an outstanding person with a bright future ahead. You won’t starve, and it’s normal to feel lost in life. I suggest you read ’Selected Works of Mao Zedong’ to get a fresh look at the world."

Gu Qingxiang slid the fried eggs onto a plate.

"I’ll carry it!"

Lin Baici hurried over.

He caught the scent of shower gel on Gu Qingxiang, and it was very pleasant.

"Lin Baici!"

Gu Qingxiang softly called out.

"Hmm?"

Lin Baici looked at Gu Qingxiang, thinking that having this woman, who was much shorter than him and had only graduated from college a few years ago, as a girlfriend wouldn’t be so bad.

Although she wasn’t very sensual, she was gentle, virtuous, and considerate...

[She just doesn’t like to dress up; it doesn’t mean she isn’t sensual. Plus, her figure is better than you’d expect.]

"Do you have a mother complex?"

Gu Qingxiang asked seriously.

Lin Baici was immediately embarrassed.

"There’s no need to be embarrassed; many boys’ first girlfriends have some resemblance to their mothers!"

Gu Qingxiang just wanted to confirm whether Lin Baici’s fondness for her was genuine or if he was substituting her for his mother.

[In this hunt, you’re completely at a disadvantage. Fight back!]

[Devour her and let her feel the might of a top predator in the food chain!]

[Dig in!]

[Only you are worthy of enjoying this ’delicacy’!]

"Go find yourself a girlfriend, one that loves you!"

Gu Qingxiang advised, taking the plate from Lin Baici’s hands; she was not accustomed to letting a man do these kitchen chores.

The breakfast was sumptuous: bread and ham, milk and cereal.

Lin Baici ate with great delight.

"What are you planning to do during the holiday?"

Gu Qingxiang sat opposite Lin Baici, eating her meal in small bites, exuding the elegance of a well-bred lady.

Lin Baici thought for a moment; Li Wei was working, and he had nowhere else to go: "Maybe study some Goryeo language?"

He was going to the Busan Divine Ruins during winter break and it would be more convenient to understand Goryeo language than to find a translator.

"Why do you want to learn that?"

Gu Qingxiang was curious.

"I have a Goryeo friend who invited me over."

Lin Baici replied nonchalantly.

"Are you planning to self-study or join a class? If you haven’t joined a class, I can teach you!"

Gu Qingxiang knew seven languages.

"Sure!"

Lin Baici could not ask for more.

"Then come over every afternoon!"

Gu Qingxiang set the time: "If there’s an emergency, let me know in advance!"

"Won’t it interfere with your holiday?"

Lin Baici was considerate.

"I’d be watching dramas anyway, teaching you Goryeo language allows me to learn as well!"

Gu Qingxiang had a small social circle and no obligations to entertain.

After eating, Lin Baici wanted to clean up the dishes but was refused by Gu Qingxiang. He sat on the couch and called Hua Yue Yu and Jin Ying, only to find he still couldn’t get through. He had no choice but to call Xia Hongyao to inquire about the situation.

"This time it involves gods, which makes it a bit more troublesome, so there’ll be some delay, but they’ll be released by tomorrow at the latest!"

Xia Hongyao explained: "Don’t worry, they’re my friends too, and I’m keeping an eye on things. I won’t let them be wronged."

"Okay, then take good care of it!"

Lin Baici knew that such matters couldn’t be rushed unless he took the seat of Xia Hongmian, wielding significant power.

"When are you coming to start your job?"

Xia Hongyao was already eager to become teammates with Lin Baici: "I can come to get you anytime!"

"Today?"

Lin Baici was indifferent, having made up his mind, he would not go back on his decision. Besides, starting the job earlier meant earning a day’s salary sooner.

"Where are you? I’m coming to pick you up!"

Over the phone, you could hear Xia Hongyao getting out of bed.

"Then meet me at the school gate in an hour!"

After setting the time, Lin Baici went into the kitchen: "Qingxiang, what study materials should I buy?"

"You won’t even call me ’instructor’!"

Gu Qingxiang was a bit resentful, but she didn’t really mind being called by her name directly by Lin Baici.

"Sister Xiang!"

Lin Baici had decided that unless he was at school, he would never call Gu Qingxiang ’instructor’.

Gu Qingxiang gave Lin Baici a look: "No need to buy, I have everything here!"

"Then I’m heading out, got some stuff to do, I’ll come to you in the afternoon!"

Lin Baici left.

An hour later, Xia Hongyao arrived.

As soon as Lin Baici settled into the passenger seat, High Ponytail sniffed.

Sniff! Sniff!

"Little Linzi, why do you smell like a woman?"

Xia Hongyao was surprised: "Have you got a girlfriend?"

"No!"

Lin Baici fastened his seatbelt: "I drank too much yesterday and slept at the instructor’s place!"

"Impressive!"

Lin Baici spoke candidly, and Xia Hongyao had no other suspicions, driving the car quickly, arriving at 128 Taian Road in just forty minutes.

"Let’s hurry!"

Xia Hongyao parked the car and pulled Lin Baici into the commercial building.

The employees they encountered along the way greeted Xia Hongyao warmly, showing that High Ponytail was quite popular within the Security Bureau.

Of course, with a sister who was a director, High Ponytail’s popularity couldn’t possibly be bad.

Xia Hongyao took Lin Baici straight to the director’s office.

"Big sis, Lin Baici is here, where’s the contract? Bring it out!"

Xia Hongyao was visibly excited.

"Can you not be so restless?"

Xia Hongmian frowned, then opened the drawer, took out a document, and handed it to Lin Baici: "Read it, and if there’s no problem, just sign it."

This contract, after she had talked with Lin Baici and he returned from the high-speed train, had already been prepared.

"It’s still the same deal we agreed on before, exempt from exams, an annual salary of one hundred million yuan, 3,000 Meteorite Coins, the ability to use Taboo Things kept by the Security Bureau, and access to data collected by the Bureau!"

"After each conquest of the Divine Ruins, once you purify the rule pollution, you will receive an additional reward!"

Plus paid leave, five insurances and one housing fund, and other subsidies which Xia Hongmian did not mention, because at Lin Baici’s level, these things were beside the point.

Xia Hongyao held a pen, waiting by his side.

Lin Baici skimmed through the contract, saw no issue, took the pen, and signed his name.

As of today, my annual salary has reached a hundred million.

Lin Baici felt somewhat moved; going to Dragon Temple to pray really had changed his life.

With this money, buying a house in Haijing was basically no issue.

Clap clap clap!

Xia Hongyao clapped excitedly: "Let’s go, I’ll treat you to lunch, we’ll have a feast."

"You take him to go through the onboarding process first, get familiar with the Security Bureau,"

Xia Hongmian instructed.

"Director Xia, are there god hunters active at Haijing Normal University?"

Lin Baici was concerned about the safety of his childhood friend.

"Not sure, but there have been some strange incidents there recently,"

Xia Hongmian explained as she walked to the coffee machine: "Would you like a cup?"

"No thanks!"

Lin Baici declined: "Can you tell me more about it?"

"Lately, several shopping malls there, as well as the medical university, have been losing human anatomical models, and a few corpses in the city’s third hospital morgue have had their organs taken."

Xia Hongmian took a sip of coffee: "What, are you interested in this case?"

"I have a friend at Haijing Normal!"

Lin Baici explained.

"Then do you want to take charge of this case?"

For events that potentially indicated rule pollution, the Security Bureau’s procedure was to assign newcomers to follow up to gain experience.

"Yes!"

Lin Baici agreed.

An annual salary of one hundred million, indeed wasn’t easy to come by; he had just started the job, hadn’t met many colleagues yet, didn’t even know where his workstation was, and now he had a task already.

Xia Hongmian was pleased with Lin Baici’s response; she liked subordinates who acted swiftly and decisively: "I hope you kick off on the right foot!"

"I’m coming too!"

Xia Hongyao raised her hand.

"Director Xia, about Hua Yue Yu and Jin Ying..."

Lin Baici intended to ask about their situation.

"Hua Yue Yu can leave this afternoon, as for Jin Ying, we have to wait for his brother to arrive,"

Xia Hongmian explained.

...

Both of them left the director’s office, with Xia Hongyao taking Lin Baici to Human Resources to have his photo taken, receive his badge, and listen to important notices...

About an hour later, when the two of them left, nearly everyone in the Security Bureau already knew that a new employee named Lin Baici had started working there.

Recruited personally by Director Xia, he had signed the genius clause.

The last person to receive this contract was Ying Baili, hailed as the most promising newcomer of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, and her performance over the past year had proven her worth.

Now, there was a new addition.

"Damn, another Dragon Level in the making!"

"I heard he’s still a college student?"

"Not sure about that, but he looks quite young and handsome!"

The employees discussed fervently.

Receiving this contract was significant; those who got it were known as Dragon Level reserves within the Security Bureau and were expected to have great futures.
