Chapter 43: Join the Night's Watch

Views:

"What do you mean?"

If Gu Beichen hadn't asked seriously, Xu Le would have suspected that this guy did it on purpose.

“Ahem, an upright person like me has no interest in freeloading in clubs or paid shitting.

I mainly want Brother Chen to explain in detail the social status of the Night Watchmen and their future career direction."

Seeing Xu Le's serious face and insincere words, Bai Jing became more and more satisfied with him. She pushed Gu Beichen away and said directly:

"What this kid wants to know is how many hours he can slack off at work every day, and what level of club he is using for free.

As for the so-called work direction, it actually just asks whether you need to go out on field trips.”

Xu Le felt warm in his heart, the captain understands me!

"Captain Bai, how could you think that? Am I such a superficial person? You misunderstood me."

Bai Jing didn't intend to dwell on this issue any further:

"Okay, okay, as a civilian, you don't have to go out on field missions.

Our 6 teams can give you whatever conditions you want.

There may even be some additional benefits attached, such as occasional bribes from the citizens of Lighthouse and the private jobs you usually take on.

As long as it does not affect our work, we will not ask about these matters.

The Night Watchman can help you get what you want, including residence transfer, pension, etc.

Do you understand? "

Hearing this, Xu Le narrowed his eyes. It was so generous, Bai Jing was determined to get him!

The additional residence and pension were obviously Lao Zhou's business, and the details had indeed been investigated clearly.

Xu Le understood that if he wanted to join the Night Watch system, he would have to go through the Night Watch's political review.

This kind of investigation is just part of the political review.

Xu Leke is not as sensitive as the protagonist in the TV series. He gets anxious when others investigate him.

He has a clean background and is a pure international student, so he is not afraid of being investigated.

If this kind of job recruitment does not investigate his background and experience, then there is something fishy going on.

There is probably only one reason why senior security functions don't check your background.

Just prepare to let you die.

After thinking carefully again, Xu Le looked at Bai Jing a little awkwardly:

"So, when can I start work?"

"Tomorrow morning at 8 o'clock."

"What about me now?"

“You can go back now and have a good rest. Bring your things here tomorrow morning and we will arrange accommodation for you.

Tell the school as well, and the Night Watchman Administration will notify your school as well."

"Okay, anything else?"

"No more, go back and remember to come to work tomorrow."

Xu Le nodded and walked out of the Night Watch branch with a calm face.

When he disappeared from their sight, Bai Jing gave a sound of approval.

"Did you two see that? This guy's butt was almost sticking up when he walked, but he didn't make a sound until he got to the door. He must be suffocating.

This kind of person is called patient, and you must also be as patient as him in the future, do you understand?"

"I understand." Wang Shu and Gu Beichen said in unison.

As Bai Jing expected, after Xu Le walked out of the door, he immediately jumped up excitedly and the way he walked was almost distorted.

He rushed to the branch's fence, picked up the black cat sitting on the fence, and kissed and pinched it:

"Haha, starting tomorrow, I'm a civil servant!

I wonder who dares to speak loudly to me again in the future."

"Watch out when you walk. Can you afford to dirty my clothes?" a fierce fat aunt yelled at Xu Le.

"I'm sorry." Xu Le apologized directly.

Meow! ~

The black cat seemed to be about to attack the fat lady, so Xu Le quickly held it down.

The black cat looked at Xu Le, and his eyes seemed to be asking:

"Why are you so cowardly?"

And Xu Le just waved his hand in a signature way:

"This is not cowardice, this is a sensible compromise, to be a safe and free person.

One of the elements of being a free person is to stay away from trash people.

This fat woman is furious now. If you start arguing with her and she rushes up to you and stabs you, who can stand it?"

The black cat still had a look of disdain on his face.

Even the two passers-by couldn't stand it anymore. One of them pointed at Xu Le:

"I admire this kind of person. He can make a lot of sense out of being cowardly."

Xu Le ignored them. He said, "My buddy is already a civil servant, and you are just ordinary people. It's hard to be jealous of me."

When they reached the intersection, a steam tricycle stopped in front of Xu Le:

"20 cents at the bridge head, wanna go?"

Hearing these familiar words and touching the warm 20 yuan in his pocket, Xu Le smiled slightly:

"Walking."

Stopping at the bridge head, Xu Le squatted at the end of the moat suspension bridge and looked down at the lower city.

Although I have only been here for a few days, it feels like a long time has passed.

"Starting tomorrow, a new life and work will begin!"

Meow!

The black cat seemed to sense Xu Le's mood swings, and it rubbed its head in Xu Le's hand.

Xu Le smiled, turned around and walked towards the school.

Academic Affairs Office.

The co-organizer looked at Xu Le in surprise:

"You joined the Night's Watch?"

The man's voice was quite loud, and everyone in the Academic Affairs Office heard it. Even the Dean of Academic Affairs couldn't help but look over here a few times.

This shock made Xu Le secretly happy, but he still said calmly:

"Yes, I joined the Night Watch, but I have completed all the credits, so it will not affect my graduation."

"Okay, I understand."

The co-organizer looked at Xu Le with a complicated expression. Perhaps this is the difference between people.

Before Xu Le graduated, his career had already reached a level that he would never be able to reach in his entire life.

"It's done."

"Thanks."

Under the gazes of everyone in the Academic Affairs Office, Xu Le left with the black cat.

When I returned to the dormitory, it was already late. When I opened the door, I saw Zheng Wen exercising on the balcony.

He tied the dumbbells to a wooden knife and swung it with the knife.

Sweat was streaming down his cheeks and arms, and it looked like he had been practicing for a long time.

When Zheng Wen found Xu Le coming back, he hesitated for a moment, but finally pointed at the double-edged sword wrapped in black cloth beside Xu Le's bed and asked:

"Xu Le, that thing should be the weapon of the Night Watch, right?"

Facing Zheng Wen's question, Xu Le had no intention of hiding anything:

"No, it's Teacher Zhang Zhe's relic."

"A relic?"

Of course Zheng Wen understood the meaning of the relics. Xu Le and their teacher had died.

But Xu Le himself survived. Isn’t that strange

"Then why did you survive?"

This question is offensive!

Xu Le raised his head slightly, put the black cat into the quilt, and pushed it towards the inside of the bed.

"Why can't I survive?"

"Which classroom are you in?"

"A7."

Hearing Xu Le's answer, Zheng Wen's pupils suddenly shrank.

Zheng Wen also heard clearly the story that was circulating in the school today.

An angel who redeems his companions, a butcher who kills monsters.

When he heard those stories, he thought that if he had the power of the butcher, perhaps his two roommates would not have died.

Zheng Wen looked at the sword beside Xu Le's bed, then looked at Xu Le himself, his expression changed:

"Why you? Why you?"

"Why can't it be me?"

Zheng Wen suddenly clenched his fists, and a sudden anger arose in his heart.

He threw the wooden sword in his hand aside and punched Xu Le.

Faced with Zheng Wen's sudden attack, Xu Le actually felt that it was expected.

He instantly consumed some of his emotions and entered a state of emptiness, dodging Zheng Wenshi's powerful punch.

After activating the emptiness, Zheng Wen's speed, which was not fast to begin with, slowed down even more in Xu Le's eyes.

Although Xu Le has not practiced physical skills, he has the bonus of the Veteran Soul, an ancient relic. His physical fitness is actually no worse than Zheng Wen, and he is even better in terms of skills.

The second punch brushed past Xu Le's nose, and Xu Le had already seen clearly Zheng Wen's attack pattern.

He didn't raise any questions or ask why the other party took action.

Of course, he wasn't going to hold back.

Dodging the punch again, Xu Le kicked Zheng Wen on the knee.

The precise blow caused Zheng Wen to stagger and almost fall.

The pain made it impossible for him to concentrate for a short period of time. When he looked up again, Xu Le's fist had already hit his face.

Bang!

With a heavy punch, Zheng Wen was knocked to the ground.

Next, it was Xu Le’s silent fist.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He rode on Zheng Wen's body and punched him again and again until his fingers were covered in blood and Zheng Wen's face was almost a bloody mess.

Xu Lecai slowly stopped.

"Awake?"

Zheng Wen turned his head away in shame. He didn't understand why everything changed overnight.

My friends died, and the people I once looked down upon became more powerful than me.

What is his use? What has he practiced in the past few years

Lying on the ground, Zheng Wen started crying again. This was the second time he cried in front of Xu Le.

Xu Le ignored him, went to the bathroom, washed his hands casually, and then began to organize his clothes, books, and some sundries.

Zheng Wen saw all of this.

"Are you leaving?"

"Yes, I joined the Night's Watch."

Zheng Wen was stunned, then he suddenly realized. While everyone was still chatting and joking, had Xu Le quietly become the night watchman

"So... you've been working hard behind everyone's back. No wonder you never go out to play every time we ask you to."

Xu Le's face turned a little red because of the blow, but he didn't explain.

After Xu Le packed up his things, the black cat poked its head out and happily lay in Xu Le's arms.

Just as he was about to turn on the light and take a rest, Zheng Wencai spoke again:

"Xu Le, will it be like this again in the future?"

"have no idea."

Xu Le knew that he was talking about the Kuroshio Tide, and he really didn't know whether future Kuroshio Tides would be the same as this one.

"If it still happens, what should we do?"

“Try to leave yourself some options.”

"Right to choose? Thanks, Xu Le. I will work harder in the future."

Xu Le hummed as a response.

Zheng Wen didn't say anything else, and the two of them remained silent all night.

The next day, Xu Le walked out of the dormitory carrying a burlap bag filled with items and a broadsword on his back.

High-end suitcases are too expensive, so take your time.

Looking at Xu Le leaving, Zheng Wen suddenly shouted:

"Xu Le, I will definitely become a transcendent. Just wait for me."

Xu Le waved his hand without even turning his head.

"oh!"

The black cat standing on his shoulder also waved, but it was unclear who he was waving to.

One person and one cat finally left school.
