Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 36 Development Game
This was a huge project. When Duan Mingyuan finished the reconstruction of the "Outer World Vocabulary", he was already sweating profusely. Compared with when he was in high school, the current high school courses are several times more difficult.

"Thank you."

Yang Ping hesitated for a long time before speaking in a low voice.

He had been prepared to be scolded by his parents when he got home, but he didn't expect that Senior Ming Yuan would sit down patiently and help him clean up the mess.

Finally, before he was about to say goodbye, he mustered up the courage and asked, "Senior Mingyuan, why did you choose this path?"

However, the moment he asked the question, Yang Ping's gaze drifted away.

He felt that the man in front of him might be the only person in the world who could answer the questions in his heart. He had tried to ask his parents indirectly before, but the only answer he got was "Hurry up and do your homework."

Overly earnest expectations became a heavy burden on his shoulders. He tried his best to be admitted to the No. 1 Middle School in the city, but found that he was just the most inconspicuous one in the crowd. Words like excitement and friendship seemed to have never been associated with him.

In this monotonous life, Yang Ping gradually felt that life became boring.

Every day, from the moment he opened his eyes, questions, studies, exams and rankings flooded into his mind, overwhelming him and making him want to escape from his current life.

Looking back, in addition to repaying Xiangwei's kindness, he also had selfish motives for embarking on this path.

Rattle originally disagreed with him, saying that this might be the most dangerous job in the world.

He has to deal with unknown evil spirits every day. Perhaps on some inconspicuous night, he will enter an alley while tracking the evil spirits, and from then on he will lose all traces forever like his predecessors, and even his bones will not be left behind.

What really attracted Yang Ping was the danger that Xiangwei repeatedly emphasized.

Rather than cowardly choosing to end your own life one day because you are tired of life, dying in the cause of saving others seems to be more meaningful.

Dying like a hero is a way of giving an account of one's life.

“Because I quit my job.”

"……what?"

"I don't want to go to a new environment in the short term, so I might as well do something I'm familiar with."

Four years of work inevitably made Duan Mingyuan enter a period of burnout. Fortunately, the company run by Tianwaimin paid him well, and he didn't have any hobbies that required him to spend money lavishly. The savings he had accumulated were enough for him to live for a while.

Although he rated both jobs as garbage, there were differences in the degree of garbage they were.

As long as the problems of poor pay and high risks in this industry are solved, this way of working is more in line with Duan Mingyuan's wishes.

In other words, the future is promising.

Again, the situation in this industry has not gotten any worse than it is now. Just like those funds in the account that seem to have been green for a century, Duan Mingyuan is willing to believe that they will all bottom out and rebound one day.

Their high school teacher once said that as long as you look at the problem from a different perspective, you will find that bad things also have a good side.

Inevitably, the conversation reached a deadlock.

Yang Ping hesitated for a long time but couldn't say anything.

He originally thought that people like Mingyuan must have a broad mind and take saving the world as their responsibility, while quitting one's job and changing careers are more like issues that ordinary people need to consider.

"Then...how can I become as strong as you?"

"I just started my career earlier than you did, and I've encountered more evil spirits. You guys will catch up sooner or later. I'm very optimistic about you."

Duan Mingyuan did not lie. If the industry needs to continue to develop, more people will need to obtain senior professional titles.

Yang Ping is undoubtedly the person closest to this goal, because the other person is Tang Qianqian.

When he was using his phone just now, he also saw a new message in the circle of friends. Tang Qianqian specifically tagged him and posted the equipment she had prepared all night.

Anti-wolf spray, a modified stun gun equipped with fangs, bulletproof lining purchased online, brand name running shoes, and a cup of milk tea of ​​unknown meaning, with the caption "I'm already fully equipped with divine equipment."

Well, Yang Ping has a bright future.

Duan Mingyuan is serious.

This kid is definitely the first person in Yunlong City to be promoted to senior position.

"I understand."

After getting Duan Mingyuan's affirmation, Yang Ping's eyes suddenly became much firmer.

"You've done well. Only those who are alive can make progress."

Duan Mingyuan was in a good mood today. After witnessing the game between Yang Ping and the figure, although it was still a baby bus in essence, at least it could be driven. The next focus of his work would be to discuss with Dajiang the details of the interns' regularization. He had a hunch that in just a week or less, Yunlong City would have a truly formal employee!
More importantly, for the first time in his life, he found joy in his work.

Just like those development-type RPG games, you can also gain a sense of accomplishment by watching a weak character grow step by step.

On the way home, Duan Mingyuan went to the supermarket near the community as agreed and bought a bag of hand-rolled wide noodles. It was already dark when he got home.

September chose a strange combination of pajamas and apron, and the sound of a washing machine turning could be heard from the bathroom.

The aroma of stew and spiciness filled the room.

"Mr. Mingyuan, today is another day of overtime." Seeing Duan Mingyuan coming in, Jiu Yue immediately came up to him and waved his phone in front of him. "It is 19:42 now. Your overtime today is 2 hours."

"There were some minor troubles."

"Could it be that the evil spirit that attacked you is so powerful that even you, Mr. Mingyuan, find it troublesome?"

"That's not the case. The main reason is that the knowledge points that high school students learn nowadays are too difficult. It takes a while to figure out what the textbooks are talking about."

As soon as Jiu Yue heard about textbooks and knowledge, he immediately lost interest.

She is a monster who advocates freedom, and no textbooks or knowledge can confine her in the classroom.

"The big plate of chicken is already cooked, and I'm starving."

Jiu Yue excitedly took the wide noodles handed to her by Duan Mingyuan, completely forgetting the slogan she said during the "interview" that she could be fed with one chicken every three days. According to Duan Mingyuan's evaluation of this little fox in the past two days, three chickens a day might be in line with her actual level.

strangeness.

Duan Mingyuan looked at Jiuyue's back. How come this little fox doesn't gain weight even though he eats so many chickens?
What an enviable physique. The reason why he abstains from sweets at night is to maintain his figure. It is said on the Internet that people like them who need to sit for more than ten hours a day need to control their diet. Otherwise, if they are not careful, they will not only gain weight quickly, but also suffer from diseases such as fatty liver.

"Mr. Mingyuan, this is the dish I am best at. I have studied it for a long time--"

After putting the wide noodles into the boiling pot and coming out of the kitchen, Jiu Yue was stunned.

Mr. Mingyuan, how come there are two of you?
Oh, no, one of them is a fake one by Dajiang who sneaked in at some point.

"I'm so sorry, it seems I came at the wrong time."

Dajiang exchanged pleasantries with Duan Mingyuan, but he had no intention of leaving despite saying this. He brought a gift, a bottle of wine that didn't look too expensive.

Jiu Yue narrowed her eyes and immediately defined Dajiang in her mind.

This person has ulterior motives!

Not only does he want to eat and drink for free, he also wants to get drunk with Mr. Mingyuan!
She knew very well that once people got drunk, they would go to sleep, and Mr. Mingyuan's time after get off work should belong to her!
Now is the crucial period to cultivate feelings, how can we let a mere Dajiang ruin our good fortune?
This is her wide face.

Her chicken,
Her Mr. Mingyuan!

Thinking of this, Jiu Yue greeted him with a smile, "Mr. Dajiang, you came just in time. Have you eaten yet?"

"Well, I was in a hurry to go out at night and didn't take care of it."

Dajiang put the wine on the cabinet at the entrance. However, before he took off his shoes and joined the dinner, Jiuyue's hand "gently" rested on his shoulder.

The little fox smiled like a flower and sincerely offered him advice, "I happen to know a good restaurant called Lao Sui Restaurant nearby. It's only 5 minutes away from the community."

"Hey?"

“Enjoy your meal!”

Before Dajiang could come to his senses, he heard the sound of a door closing behind him.

"Why!?"

A cool breeze hit Dajiang's face. For some reason, he always felt that today's cold wind was particularly biting.

Ps: Let me explain to new readers that the timeline of the mini-theater is independent and can be regarded as a small story after the main storyline.

Small theater 2:
Sunday, evening

Ms. Ye Huo, the "Executive Director of the Evil Organization", was severely taught a lesson by Duan Mingyuan again.

If this continues, the evil organization will lose all its face because of this fox, but she always looks like she is enjoying it.

On this day, the elder in the mirror who was concerned about the evil organization could no longer hold back and started to denounce, "How can you do this? You make a mess of yourself to anger others, is this what a standing director can do? ... What's that expression on your face?"

This fox is becoming more and more annoying.

In the past, September would have made a few symbolic retorts, but now she simply stopped pretending, shrugged her shoulders, and looked at the mirror with pity.

The person in the mirror suddenly felt his blood pressure soar, and he wanted to rush out of the mirror and give the fox a slap.

"Mr. Mingyuan is a man with a sharp tongue but a soft heart."

"This has nothing to do with what we are talking about, right?"

"Of course it is."

A hint of pride crept onto Jiu Yue's face. "The key point is what happened after I was taught a lesson by Mr. Ming Yuan."

“?”

"Every time after he taught me a lesson, Mr. Mingyuan would help me put on my socks, comb my tail, touch my head, and sometimes even lift me up high."

Jiu Yue really enjoyed this process. "But people like you who have never been in love won't understand."
