In the blink of an eye, only the cigarette butt was left.
He continued: "Although my hot pot restaurant is prospering, it has not yet reached the point where it has a long-term reputation. We still have this bit of self-awareness."
Business is booming?
Yi Lin silently looked at the flies hovering near the ceiling, nodded silently, and agreed.
"Looking at your age, you're only about 20 years old? Have you graduated from college? Are you looking for a job? Hey, shouldn't you?"
"I approached my shop without saying a word. Faced with the salary and the conditions that were not too harsh, I agreed without hesitation."
"Furthermore, your facial features are ordinary, but your eyebrows are pointed in front and wide in back, you have a black mole on your life palace, there are red threads in your eyes, and there are three lines at the end of your eyes. This kind of face is either vicious or extremely evil..."
Yi Lin slowly typed a question mark.
"Of course, looks are not that important. The point is, if you don't give a real reason for applying, it will make us feel very suspicious, young man!"
Boss Ma slammed the butt of his cigarette on the ground, stamped it out, and stared at Yi Lin with an uncertain expression.
Yi Lin heard this.
Sighed.
"To be honest, I'm actually here for a trip."
Boss Ma raised his eyebrows.
It seems to be saying, are you lying?
travel?
"Okay, I'll tell the truth."
Yi Lin had no choice but to flash his personal ID account in front of Master Ma and said: "Actually, my family asked me to come out to practice. If I can't prove that I have the ability to support myself, I won't be able to inherit the old man's property. I have spent a lot of money recently.
We don’t have much money, so we can’t be so shameless as to ask for money from our families.”
Looking at the string of zeros on Yi Lin's personal account, Master Ma was slightly stunned.
Although it doesn't seem like much, if it's pocket money... then this pocket money is a bit excessive!
"Of course it doesn't matter whether it's money or not." Yi Lin added, "What's important is that I chose a store and I think this store looks the most relaxing."
Master Ma: "..."
In the end, Master Ma kept Yi Lin because of her honesty.
There is a single room upstairs in the hot pot restaurant, a loft of about four square meters, and except for the bed, it is surrounded by walls, which is very frustrating.
But to Yi Lin, this doesn't matter.
He didn't originally plan to receive Master Ma's salary for one month, so it would be nice to have a place to stay.
The hotpot restaurant is indeed doing a booming business.
If even flies can be considered customers.
There are only four tables in the entire hot pot restaurant. Even during the peak dining period, the four tables cannot be filled.
Master Ma was also doubtful about Yi Lin's reasons. But on the premise that Yi Lin did not show any obvious malice, he directly used Yi Lin as a cheap labor force and even handed over all the kitchen dishwashing work to Yi Lin.
Rin will handle it.
In his words, dishwashing consumes electricity and cheap labor is wasted.
Yilin's working life has stabilized.
"Master Ma."
"My surname is Ma, my name is Master."
"Gender is male, likes women, is addicted to smoking, drinking, gambling, and afraid of death."
"In the future, he will call himself King Gou and claim to be the man in the world who knows how to survive to the end in trials."
"It is said that he became an apostle three years ago and is still alive today."
"But the strange thing is that his level has never been high. Every time he tried, I don't know whether it was intentional control or just luck. He passed the trial with a super low evaluation of D or C, and he learned how to escape.
ability."
"But some people say that Master Ma is the successor of the ancient martial arts Ma family, and his 'Lightning Five Continuous Whip' move is as fast as lightning. No one can stop it. I don't know whether it is true or not."
"In the future, he spends more time hiding than bubbling up. Not many people have seen him actually take action."
At night, Master Ma's vague information silently flashed through Yi Lin's mind.
"However, what he is most famous for in the circle is not his Gou or his 'Five Lightning Whips' boxing technique, but his ability to collect intelligence."
"It is precisely because of Master Ma that he passes the level with a super low evaluation every time. He has passed more trials than anyone else at the same level. He has met many people in the trials and has a wide network of contacts. Even if he is a special person,
group, and also has some contact with him.”
"I also heard that because there are too many people in this guy's communication list, in order to avoid unnecessary harassment, even small talk has to be charged. Replying to a message costs 100dp, and there is never any discount. The remote chat is capped at ten messages, and face-to-face chats are charged separately.
.”
Master Ma now probably doesn't have any information about Yi Lin.
After all, Yi Lin's level increased too quickly. After several experiences, he almost jumped level 4 in a row. In the blink of an eye, he was promoted to level 20, level 3. He had no contact with Master Ma.
But in another timeline, Yi Lin also purchased information from Master Ma.
Part of the information about the Eight Shadows came from this guy's summary.
To a certain extent, this guy is a weirdo.
While thinking about it.
Yi Lin got off the musty-smelling bed and remained silent.
At present, it seems that this guy's "history" is no different from what I remember.
Since he has peddled information about "Xiao Yang" in the future, Master Ma must have had contact with "Xiao Yang".
However, in this timeline, Henry Zhang landed in a box ahead of schedule. Master Ma had no contact with Henry Zhang, and it is unknown whether there were any changes in his growth trajectory.
"Is there any way to win him over completely?"
Yi Lin thought about this possibility.
Over the past few days, Master Ma's suspicion of Yi Lin has gradually diminished.
Still getting acquainted.
Yi Lin knows the identity of Master Ma's disciple.
Master Danma only had suspicions about Yi Lin, but there was no evidence.
After all, Yi Lin didn't show any flaws other than working neatly.
And Wang Tiandi also tried his best to act like an ordinary watchdog, squatting in front of the hot pot restaurant all day long, acting as a mascot-like existence.
I don’t know if it’s because of the dog that the business of the hot pot restaurant has improved a lot.
For this reason, Master Ma was happy to let Yi Lin stay and work. Watching the business that was gradually booming, he was beaming with joy all day long.
During this period, Su Xiaosu sent a message saying that he had discovered something strange.
But Yi Lin was busy working in the store at the time and had no time to pay attention to it. She just let them figure it out.
After all, Li Erpang is also an official member of the special group. The couple join forces and are very powerful. They can overwhelm all enemies, so nothing big will happen.
Even if something goes wrong, Zhao Yulong should be the one to deal with the headache. What does it have to do with Yi Lin?
hehe.
Only you, Zhao Yulong, are allowed to cheat on me?
Are you not allowed to trick me back?
Thinking of this, Yi Lin felt more at ease and allowed Fatty to express himself freely so that he could use up his excess energy.
As the weather gets cooler, more and more people like to eat hot pot.
Especially the spicy hotpot.
Perhaps this is another reason why business is gradually improving.
During this period of observation, Yi Lin discovered that Master Ma would leave the hot pot restaurant every few days. Every time he went out, he was high-spirited and arrogant, but when he came back, he was always downcast.
Feeling depressed and having no idea what I am busy with.
Although she was curious, in order to avoid being caught by Lao Ma, Yi Lin suppressed the urge to follow Lao Ma to find out what was going on, and guarded the store with peace of mind.
It's December in the blink of an eye.
early.
Pedestrians all wore long sleeves, and some even wore light scarves.
In the hotpot restaurant, it was in full swing.
Warm.
The spicy smell spread out and attracted many customers.
While carrying the plates to the guests, Yi Lin suddenly felt a sharp pain coming from the mark of death on her chest.
But Yi Lin's expression remained normal, her movements only paused for a moment, and then she endured the severe pain and put the dishes on the guests' table steadily, without twitching her face or shaking her hands.
The pain comes and goes quickly.
"Boss, I'm asking for a leave."
"Oh? Asking for leave?"
Lao Ma was smoking a cigarette and looking at the rising numbers on his books. Hearing this, his oily face raised and he casually asked: "Didn't we agree that we will work hard, bear no complaints, and never give up until we die?"
?Who gave you the right to take leave? What's wrong? You don't want to work anymore? Do you still want to go home and inherit your old man's inheritance?"
Yi Lin wiped the sweat from his forehead and said helplessly: "No, the weather is cold. I ran out of the house in a hurry this time. Didn't I bring any clothes? I plan to go out for a walk while there are not too many guests.
Add some winter clothes. If I get sick, you will have less work to do, right?"
"You think too much. You have to do it even if you are sick."
Yi Lin was speechless: "Be careful, I'll report you."
Lao Ma thought for a while, put out the cigarette butt, and waved his hand impatiently: "Okay, Gungun, I'll deduct one day's salary from you. You're not short of money anyway."
Yi Lin smiled and didn't care. He took off his work clothes with the word "Gou Xiong" printed on them and left the hot pot restaurant.
He just walked off with his front foot.
Master Ma's expression suddenly condensed, and he stared at the direction Yi Lin left, silently.
Yilin walked slowly to the city center, the busiest area.
Although this area is considered the most prosperous area in Liangcheng County, with many high-rise buildings, it still lags far behind the scale of construction in Huating City.
At the very least, the sky train has not even been set up.
Yi Lin didn't delay and walked directly into the mall.
"This one, this one, and this one, bring them all to me to try."
Although physical stores are not easy to make a living, high-end clothing stores still have customers who like to shop. If they don’t open in March, they will only open in March. When I saw Yilin, a young and fair-looking young man, he came to try on clothes.
, the waiter immediately greeted him enthusiastically and kept promoting the benefits of the style Yi Lin chose.
It’s just that the style is very suitable for your temperament, this is the latest winter clothing.
He even lied and said, "Brother, you are so handsome. The reason why you can't find a girlfriend must be because you lack a piece of clothing that shows off your temperament."
Yi Lin tried on one piece after another.
From the beginning of 15 seconds, 20 seconds, 30 seconds, until one minute.
From one store to the second and third store.
After shopping for a full two hours, Yi Lin was trying on clothes but didn't buy anything.
in the distance.
A figure murmured in a low voice: "Why did Lao Ma ask me to follow this boy? He's weird and can't tell, but he's quite capable of doing it. He's quite discerning."
at this time.
Yi Lin took another expensive-looking piece of clothing and got into the fitting room.
He checked specifically and found that there was no secret surveillance or anything like that.
Safety.
"Enter the other world."
Yi Lin smiled softly.
In an instant, Yi Lin disappeared from the fitting room.
…
…
Not long ago.
capital.
Molly Labs.
A man with long black hair walked into the laboratory unhurriedly.
The strange thing is that wherever the long-haired man passes, no one notices him.
The professional security guard at the door didn't even raise his eyelids, as if he didn't see the long-haired man walking past.
All the monitors were buzzing for a moment, but soon returned to normal.
Molly was squatting in the secret laboratory, holding a smart wrench and banging on the Dire's armor plate.
"Oh, damn, no, no, there, yo~ Not here either, it's itchy, it hurts, ah, oh, oh... Beautiful lady, please be gentle."
"I hope your mind can be as calm as water, as spacious as the sea, and endless as far as the eye can see."
Bang bang bang bang bang!
Molly's face darkened, and she knocked harder, until she was dead.
The night dire howled and howled.
Very tragic.
Even the wheels were removed.
At this moment.
Molly heard footsteps behind her.
She didn't look back and said subconsciously: "Why are you back?"
"Hey, long time no see."
Molly's expression was startled.
Then turned around.
The expression was first surprised, then shocked, and finally solemn.
The wrench in his hand also made a clang and fell involuntarily to his feet.
"'Who are you?"
"..."
I don't know if it's a coincidence or not.
The Night Dire, who was banging and howling just now, turned into little streams of light behind Molly and disappeared from the world.
