Armor Guardians.

Chapter 8 Xia Qianmeng's Work
"What? This is really a weapon made of armor? A new armor has appeared?" The Dragon Group members surrounding Dr. R asked in surprise.

“Yes, the advantages and disadvantages of this armor for us now mainly depend on the quality of the summoner. So, the most urgent task is to find the summoner of this armor and get her to join our Dragon Group. That's the safest approach.” Dr. R then asked Xia Qianxue, “Do you remember what this armor looks like? Where did you meet her? What are its characteristics?”

"The armor is platinum-gold, and there seems to be a sun pattern on the helmet. It's a woman's armor, and I guess her summoner is a girl about my age. I met her near my house. She didn't seem to know anything about fighting and was almost killed by a very low-level monster. I saved her in time, and after exchanging a few words, she left," Xia Qianxue said.

"Well, based on the information Xiaoxue provided, we don't need to search for a needle in a haystack. We just need to find people who have the above characteristics. Then, you can go and investigate."

As he spoke, Dr. R turned to operate a huge computer, searching for files on girls aged 6 to 15 in the city, and then excluding those girls who were bold and had good fighting talent, as well as those whose height and body size were too different.

In this way, only a little over ten thousand girls met the criteria. Fortunately, the Dragon Group had a large number of staff members, so they could conduct the investigation in a dispersed manner.

Thus, the investigation into the Candlelight Armor began, little did they know that they had already ruled out the correct answer from the very beginning.

At this time, Xia Qianmeng had already arrived at the convenience store to take over her shift. Although the work seemed easy, there were so many people at night.

It wasn't until 1 a.m., when there were almost no customers left, that Xia Qianmeng suddenly remembered that he hadn't eaten dinner yet, and he was now starving.

So he went outside the counter, found a packet of instant noodles, and paid for it under the surveillance camera...

The reason Xia Qianmeng bought bagged instant noodles instead of the cup noodles was because the cup noodles were too expensive. Her parents weren't home, and she still needed to save a lot of money to support her younger sister Xia Qianxue's schooling.

With this in mind, Xia Qianmeng gently tore open the packet of instant noodles, then tore open the seasoning packet and poured it in, finally adding hot water.

This wasn't the first time Xia Qianmeng had used a bag to make instant noodles; she often did it when she was still in school to save money.

What if there are no chopsticks and forks? No problem, Xia Qianmeng can wait for the soup to cool down a bit and then eat it from the bottom of the bowl. He'll eat it all, except for the bag. One packet of instant noodles isn't enough to fill Xia Qianmeng's stomach. He wants more, but he resists the urge because he needs to save money and can't afford such extravagant spending.

At two o'clock in the morning, there were hardly any customers left. Xia Qianmeng finally succumbed to sleepiness and fell asleep on the counter.

She wasn't worried about anything being stolen while she was sleeping, because the glass door of the convenience store was poorly installed and made a loud noise when pushed, which would wake Xia Qianmeng up instantly.

And so, Xia Qianmeng's first night working at the convenience store came to an end. After her shift ended, she had to go to Duan Dao Martial Arts School to continue working.

Xia Qianmeng felt dizzy and wanted to sleep, but she dismissed the thought, thinking that as long as she worked at Duan Dao Martial Arts School and kept moving, she wouldn't feel sleepy.

And that was indeed the case. While working, Xia Qianmeng wasn't that sleepy, but when she finished and stopped working, the sleepiness came back.

Helpless, Xia Qianmeng could only walk to a corner where she used to sit down and close her eyes to take a nap.

"Xia Qianmeng, we need to do wooden plank training. Quickly bring us a hundred planks."

Hearing the call, Xia Qianmeng wearily opened her eyes; she had to start working again…

One hundred planks are neither a lot nor a little, but Xia Qianmeng couldn't lift them at all, so she moved the planks onto a small cart backstage and then pushed it around.

After parking the trolley next to the students, Xia Qianmeng turned around to get the cleaning tools, because he still had to clean up the mess.
