Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

Chapter 9 Your Job Title
September widened her eyes, trying her best not to miss any details in the notebook.

Mr. Mingyuan...actually knows so much about evil spirits!

"When I was thinking about doing this business, I wrote down all the evil spirits I encountered."

Duan Mingyuan looked normal. The main purpose of recording was to summarize the types of evil spirits, just like building a question bank for the same type of math problems. In this way, he could understand the evil spirits he had to deal with at the most efficient speed at work and formulate corresponding strategies.

"……ability?"

Jiu Yue looked very surprised. "You mean the evil spirits can evolve upwards?"

The amount of information in the notebook does not seem like something that an office worker can summarize. Currently, industry insiders in Yunlong City have only seen those wandering individuals who lack independent thinking, but the notebook mentions higher-level existences.

But this is still not the limit of the evil's evolution.

One of the pages mentioned that Duan Mingyuan once accidentally broke into an abandoned construction site while tracking an evil spirit. The moment he set foot on the construction site, the surrounding scene was distorted and turned into a scene like hell on earth. It was as if he had walked into the belly of the evil spirit, and everything around him was controlled by its power.

The description in the notebook suggests that when the wisdom of evil spirits reaches a certain stage, the concept of "home" will arise.

The abandoned construction site became its nest. Once the nest was built, any unexpected intruders would become its nutrients, and the evil spirit would enter a state similar to hibernation. Duan Mingyuan believed that after the hibernation of the evil spirit building the nest ended, it might be possible to transform into a higher-level life form.

Unfortunately, until Duan Mingyuan decided to give up this unreliable job and concentrate on studying for exams, he had never encountered the evil spirit that had completed its transformation.

This also illustrates another fact that is terrifying to think about.

If the contents of the notebook were not fabricated by Duan Mingyuan, it meant that Mr. Mingyuan had seen these terrifying beings before, and escaped unscathed after figuring out their abilities, and then completed the above records.

There is a saying among them that intelligence is life.

This is the most true portrayal of their lives. The price of "killing at first sight" is often painful. Not long ago, two members paid the price of their lives to confirm the appearance of an intelligent evil spirit, and they were unable to reach the latter's ability until their death.

An evil spirit with wisdom and ability could lead to the annihilation of all the people in Yunlong City.

She blurted out, "How could you survive such a terrible guy!"

Duan Mingyuan didn't know how to respond for a moment.

To say he had escaped death was an exaggeration, but he did pay a heavy price to deal with the evil spirit that had built its nest in the abandoned construction site.

Although the evil spirit eventually died in his hands, it also severely damaged his usual schoolbag before it died, causing him to be severely criticized by his homeroom teacher and subject teachers the next day.

Duan Mingyuan looked at Jiu Yue, whose face was uncertain. When the other party asked in surprise, "Can evil spirits evolve further?", he knew that everything was going to become difficult.

Not only did his future colleagues have extremely limited practical skills, but they also had little theoretical knowledge.

That confused look was like a student who had just learned linear equations and encountered calculus.

"Why don't they have names?"

Jiu Yue was like a curious baby. Seeing that Duan Mingyuan didn't respond, she pointed to the blank part of the notebook and asked, "You classified them, but the only thing missing is the category name." "Because I wasn't good at naming at the time, I didn't write it down."

Anyway, this notebook is for him to read, so it doesn’t matter whether there is a name on it or not.

A lot of time has passed since he wrote these words, and he has also transformed from a student into an adult who has experienced his first resignation.

Naming will no longer be a problem.

He picked up his pen and explained to his potential colleagues, "The evil spirits I know can be roughly divided into four stages: 'intern', 'formal employee', 'intermediate professional title', and 'senior professional title'. Among them, interns are the most common type, lacking independent consciousness and wandering around; when they gain ability and wisdom through long-term feeding, they will complete the transition to formal employees, which takes about three months to six months; as life gradually settles down, the evil spirits will enter the nest-building stage and evolve towards a higher level, just like many people will take the intermediate professional title in the industry after working in their jobs for one or two years; the moment the nest-building process is completed, it is when they have completely completed their transformation, which is like those who have obtained senior professional titles and are also considered to be influential in their respective industries."

Perhaps there are evils in this world that are more powerful than those who have obtained senior professional titles, but at his age in high school, he is not yet in contact with these powerful forces hidden in the deep.

This is also normal. It is not easy to meet the leading figures in any industry.

Duan Mingyuan felt that this classification was easy to understand and could accurately summarize the different stages of evil spirits.

"Mr. Mingyuan, what made you become like this?"

Jiu Yue stared at Duan Mingyuan with her big amber eyes, and blinked a few times until her eyes became sore. "I always feel that you have completely lost the passion of youth."

She was very sure that when the young Duan Mingyuan wrote these in his notebook, he would never have thought that he would use job title evaluation to measure evil spirits several years later.

“Passion won’t help you complete your work successfully. Those who shout about friendship and bond to defeat strong enemies are just artistic techniques in virtual works. In real life, job title evaluation can help you quickly understand yourself and your opponents. This industry should also have a corresponding evaluation system. Only in this way can we properly delegate manpower when encountering incidents and minimize casualties.”

Duan Mingyuan's full of momentum made Jiu Yue shrink her neck. Whenever they talked about work, the man in front of her would burst out with unparalleled aura.

"Before we proceed with the next step, I have a few questions for you. First, how many regular employees are there in Yunlong City?"

"Three, three, if you count."

Jiu Yue was obviously lacking in confidence, and after finishing her words, she added, "Originally there were five, but two were killed."

"The second question is, among these people, how many can deal with the evil spirits at the official employee level on their own?"

"Do you count as one?"

"Not counting."

"……No."

The conversation fell into a long silence again.

Duan Mingyuan's eyes went dark as the third question inevitably changed, becoming direct and sharp.
