Storm of Gods

Chapter 5 Looking for a job

Everyone in the dungeon would flatter the night patrol, let alone the captain of the night patrol. This guy doesn't take himself seriously. He has been really busy these past two days.

"Oh, this is what I want. Put it here. You can go home now." Luo Jin pointed to the head of the table and said.

Casey waved her hand. "That won't do. Being late or leaving early will result in salary deductions. I'm right outside. Would you like a cup of tea? I made the Hundred Flowers Tea."

"Okay, give me a drink." Luo Jin was at a loss whether to laugh or cry, and began to look through Li Xin's information. He was quite interested in this kid.

As Luo Jin looked at her, the corners of his mouth unconsciously rose. Lin Fei... shouldn't be a coincidence. The case from that year seemed to be right in front of him. Alas, they were all poor people.

Li Xin was adopted by Lin Fei six years ago and makes a living by hunting. Judging from the prey, he should have awakened his psychic powers five years ago. He is very talented in fighting and makes a living by hunting. He has had several conflicts with the Spade Group due to the sale of prey and protection fees.

Afterwards, the Spade Group not only did not retaliate, but also became honest and well-behaved. They changed their previous looting and theft and started collecting protection fees once a month. At the same time, they took on the responsibility of maintaining order in the Blackwater area and had several clashes with foreign gangs. On two occasions, they were obviously weaker than the opponent, but they won both times. As for the area near Li Xin's home, it became a safe zone in Blackwater.

This is probably the reason why the public security in Heishui area has been very good in recent years.

Luo Jin touched his chin, thinking of the look Qi Badao had given Li Xin. It was likely that the two had reached some kind of agreement.

To make a gangster boss like Qi Badao obey you, you have to use some tricks. Just think about his moves, he is a ruthless person. But being ruthless is useless. Gangsters also have to make a living. If they have no money, let alone risking their lives, the younger brothers will kill them in minutes.

It's nothing if they don't do it openly, but they are maintaining it in secret, so they must have been subdued... Collecting protection fees regularly, maintaining order, and building credibility, I don't know if it was Li Xin's idea or Qi Badao's, but it is a strategy. The city hall doesn't care about the dungeon at all, and order is always better than chaos.

Luo Jin continued reading. The night patrol's investigation showed that Li Xin still relied on hunting for a living, did not participate in the Spade Group's profit sharing, and rarely had any contact with them.

This is quite interesting. At the age of sixteen or seventeen, he has such skills and can control his desires. This makes Luo Jin a little impressed. Frankly speaking, if he were in Li Xin's living environment, he would definitely want a piece of the pie.

The night watchman's investigation was very detailed. Li Xin was very good to his adoptive mother and sister. People who value family cannot be bad people.

There's a list of unusual beasts and rare medicinal herbs. Specialty herb shops or Hextech material recycling stations will record their origins. This guy is quite famous in the market. There are several unusual beasts that are extremely difficult and dangerous to hunt, like the Charming Ear Rabbit. They don't have strong combat power but have amazing insight. For example, the Charming Ear Rabbit, beloved by the nobles, is the only one who can catch one alive. His own insight and action require...

?

Luo Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly. Damn it, he was mistaken. This guy must have discovered him when he was killing the Licker. He must have deliberately turned his back to give the worm a chance to lure him in. With his insight, he shouldn't be unable to react. No wonder he wasn't surprised at all when he appeared.

Also, it was normal for the Licker to want to run away after sensing his presence, but why did his head explode suddenly? At that time, he thought there was something wrong with the Licker itself, but now he thinks that it might not be the case.

Luo Jin subconsciously touched his chin and couldn't help but smile. What was he thinking? It was too exaggerated. This was an occupational disease. He would dig deep into everything he encountered. After all, he had seen all kinds of people.

He had previously been somewhat irritated by Li Xin's ambiguity with the gang, but now that was different. This kid had his own set of principles and valued family, which he admired. A night watchman needed to be ruthless, but not lose his original heart. This kid was born to be a night watchman.

The person involved was completely unaware of Luo Jin's admiration for him. On the sixth day, the wanderer finally returned home.

On this outing, the bone spear was lost, the dagger was missing, the only canvas backpack was full of holes, the clothes were tattered and only had strips of cloth hanging on them, the hair looked like it had been rubbed together by something, the face was covered in bruises and patches of something unknown, and the body exuded a strange smell, as if it had been washed in a jar of stinky soy sauce and then air-dried.

When she entered the house, Xueyin didn't recognize her and pinched her nose as she handed her a steamed bun.

Looking at the steamed bun in his hand, Li Xin almost cried. If he used the dice that even dogs don't want, he would be a dog.

Suddenly, a warm embrace embraced Li Xin. Aunt Fei touched Li Xin's head and pulled him into the house without saying a word. She checked him up and down and asked, "Are you injured?"

Li Xin grinned, "I'm not injured, but I didn't get anything this time, and I even lost my equipment."

"I'm glad you're okay. Go wash up and I'll prepare something delicious for you." Lin Fei said gently.

Li Xin nodded. Aunt Fei usually likes to yell, but when something happens, she is always very calm and has a very stable mentality.

"Why are you standing there? Take off your clothes. Let me see if I can save him."

Li Xin coughed dryly a few times, and Lin Fei smiled, "Oh, you've grown up and now you know how to be shy. I've seen everything about you."

……

Li Xin squatted in a simple bucket and scrubbed the dirt off his body. He lay in all the mud ditches in the deep forest. He was really fed up with it. He couldn't live like this anymore and had to find a better job.

If you want to go into the city, you have to have someone to back you up. Luo Jin is an option. If he didn't dislike the night watchman's job with a very high casualty rate, he would have taken him over long ago. But now this kind of life can't last. Aunt Fei has her hair disheveled all day long, pretending to be strong. The days pass by one by one, and Xueyin is also old enough to attend the grace class. All of these require money and status in the city.

After thinking it through, Li Xin's mood improved. He took a shower, had a meal, and had a good sleep.

The next morning, he changed into clean clothes, picked a piece of the best quality air-dried smoked meat, wrapped it up, and carried it to the night patrol's base. From the underground city to the city, Li Xin could feel it with his eyes closed.

The Night Watch is a subordinate agency of the City Hall, but because it involves the awakened ones, it is actually managed by the church and its station is very close to the church.

In order not to dirty his clothes, Li Xin did not take the shortcut, but walked on the ground, which took some time. It was almost noon when he arrived in the city.
