Hong Kong variety show: My Boss, Thirteen Sister

Abu was baffled by Jiang Lai's logic. He looked at Jiang Lai as if he were looking at an alien.

"Don't look at me like that, just tell me if I can help!" Jiang Lai continued to say to Abu.

"Of course I can, but why would you help me?" A sense of vigilance rose in Abu's heart. As an assassin, he wouldn't trust someone so easily.

There's no such thing as a free lunch, Abu knew that in his heart.

"Don't worry about why I'm helping you. Let me ask you first, is there a lot of risk in me helping you?" Jiang Lai had finally managed to dispel Abu's wariness, so how could he let himself be swayed by Abu's words?

“The risk is huge!” Abu said honestly.

"To offend figures from both the legitimate and criminal worlds for your sake, wouldn't that be considered a near-death experience?" Jiang Lai continued to ask.

Abu pondered for a moment, but still firmly said, "Yes!"

"Do you have anything that I would risk my life for?" Jiang Lai asked Abu.

"No!" Abu shook his head and said honestly.

"How about this, I only have one request: I'll help you, and you'll stay with me for three years and be responsible for protecting me, okay?" Jiang Lai finally revealed his true intentions.

"Protect you?" Abu was a little confused by Jiang Lai's actions. With Jiang Lai's skills, did he really need his protection?

“Yes, protect me for three years, and I won’t restrict your freedom. I’ll also find a way to stop both the police and the underworld from hunting you down!” Jiang Lai said.

After hearing Jiang Lai's words, Abu was somewhat tempted, but he did not immediately agree to Jiang Lai's request. Instead, he lowered his head and pondered.

"As you know, I'm a man of the streets. Although I'm fairly skilled, it's easy to dodge a spear in the open but hard to guard against an arrow in the dark. Sometimes, it's always good to be careful. With you by my side, I feel more at ease!" Jiang Lai continued to explain.

At this point, Jiang Lai took out a cigarette, lit it, and waited for Abu's reply.

"Thank you, but I don't smoke!" Jiang Lai offered Abu a cigarette, but Abu refused.

"Three years?" Abu pondered for a moment before speaking.

“Just three years!” Jiang Lai answered confidently.

“Okay!” Abu thought for a moment and then agreed.

Haha, great!

Jiang Lai was very happy to see that Abu had agreed.

"When you're out in the game, I only care about one word: loyalty!" Jiang Lai said nonchalantly.

Before Abu could speak, Jiang Lai continued, "Although we became friends through a fight, I always feel like we've known each other for a long time, so I consider you a brother and will naturally do my best to help you!"

"Thank you!" Abu didn't know what to say, so he could only express his gratitude.

Chapter 27 Signing in Again

"Abu, you say life is like a dream, so how should one pursue what one wants?" Jiang Lai asked Abu thoughtfully.

Pursue?

Abu was taken aback when he heard Jiang Lai's words, and then lowered his head to think for a moment.

Raising his head, Abu looked quietly at Jiang Lai, smiled gently, and replied, "My life is like a journey without an end!"

A person traveling alone doesn't have many extravagant desires. If there's anything they want, it's probably just the scenery along the way!

As night deepened, Jiang Lai and Abu continued their conversation, though it didn't cover anything substantial, and they talked quite late into the night.

Abu is an orphan, and Jiang Lai is also all alone in this world.

Unlike Abu, Jiang Lai, though alone, always maintains an optimistic and positive attitude towards life. Some scenery can only be seen by climbing hard.

After talking with Abu, Jiang returned to his own room, while Abu was arranged to rest in another room.

The night in Hong Kong was brightly lit and starry. Jiang Lai lay in bed, his mind filled with thoughts, but his tired eyes eventually gave way to sleep.

The clock tower rang at midnight, but it did not wake Jiang Lai from his sleep. What interrupted Jiang Lai's sleep was a clear, crisp sound.

Jiang Lai was fast asleep.

Suddenly, a system notification sounded in my mind.

"Ding! The check-in system has been activated. Would you like to check in?"

Jiang Lai regained consciousness and found himself in the system space.

Jiang Lai hadn't heard the system's voice for a long time, and he had almost forgotten about its existence. He didn't expect it to suddenly appear today, and even prompt him to sign in a second time.

Second sign-in?

Jiang Lai was filled with anticipation and excitement.

He answered subconsciously:

"Sign in!"

"Ding, host has successfully checked in!"

[Congratulations, host, you have acquired: God-level Sixth Sense!]

[Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Firearms Proficiency!]

[Congratulations, host! You have obtained: 100 Suit-Wearing Thug Recruitment Cards!]

[Congratulations, host, you have received: 10 million in cash!]

Just like last time he checked in, Jiang Lai received a total of four rewards!

Jiang Lai carefully checked the rewards given by the system!

The first reward: God-level Sixth Sense:

Jiang Lai's sixth sense will be amplified, and his ability to predict events and perceive risks will be greatly enhanced.

System evaluation: This is a glimpse into the power of destiny!

The second reward is Firearms Mastery:

Jiang Lai's mind was filled with a wealth of knowledge and experience about firearms. He absorbed everything about each different type of firearm, from its manufacture and use to mastery and then expertise.

System evaluation: From this moment on, you are the gun god!

The third reward, the Suit-Wearing Thug Summoning Card: In Jiang Lai's consciousness, a golden card appeared with a character template on it, dressed in a black suit and trousers, and black leather shoes, holding a black pistol, but the face was blurred.

Jiang Lai was curious about the reward, so he carefully read the system explanation. This "Suit-wearing Thug Summoning Card" was similar to a character summoning card in a novel, except that the system only provided Jiang Lai with a template.

After carefully reviewing the template description, Jiang Lai roughly understood that, just like choosing a character in a game, he could choose the type and skin color of the character, such as black, white, or Asian, and even the gender.

Every time Jiang Lai recruits someone, those recruits will join Jiang Lai's ranks under different circumstances, posing as real people. They will not only be loyal to Jiang Lai, but also have clean identities and come with their own equipment.

System review: Don't let my suit and tie fool you, I can still take on ten men without taking my clothes off!

After seeing the reward, Jiang Lai's mouth was practically watering.

One hundred henchmen, each capable of taking on ten men, were not only uniformly dressed but also skilled with firearms, each carrying their own pistol.

With that kind of strength, who would dare to mess with him?

Ignoring the last reward, Jiang Lai excitedly used the first character customization.

He chose an Asian race, male, 1.95 meters tall, with a strong build, a buzz cut, and a face that he considered quite handsome.

Instantly, a bright light burst forth from the golden card. Jiang Lai subconsciously closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, a figure appeared in the system space.

A handsome man stood in front of Jiang Lai.

He was holding a pistol, wearing a black suit and trousers, a black shirt underneath, and black leather shoes.

The person who appeared was taller than Jiang Lai, upright, and had an extraordinary air about him.

"Hello, Mr. Jiang." The character manifested by the system was not rigid; instead, he first put the gun in his pocket, then bowed to Jiang Lai and greeted him politely.

"Hello!" Jiang Lai replied, then looked at everything with some surprise, finding it unbelievable.

"My name is Li Hua, I am 25 years old, born in Hong Kong, and I served in a foreign military unit for three years. I have now retired and returned home. I will report to you in twelve hours!" The man named Li Hua, who was summoned by Jiang Lai, gave Jiang Lai a brief self-introduction.

"Oh, okay!" Jiang Lai said subconsciously.

Then, under Jiang Lai's astonished gaze, Li Hua's figure slowly disappeared into the system space.

Jiang Lai was completely dumbfounded by this scene. He had been wondering if the characters summoned by the system would be like robots, cold and impersonal, and whether it was too exaggerated for a hundred people to appear at once.

Unexpectedly, the characters assigned by the system not only have their own emotions and personalities, but their identities and backgrounds are also integrated into this world.

This made Jiang Lai even happier.

Looking at the recruitment card for the suit-clad thugs in front of him, the number on it had decreased from one hundred to ninety-nine.

After figuring it out, Jiang Lai followed the same procedure as before and made all one hundred slots in one go, ninety for men and ten for women.

Everyone has their own name and identity. Jiang Lai also discovered that most of the summoned characters have military or overseas backgrounds.

Jiang Lai originally wanted to have all the women be men, but after some consideration, he chose ten women instead. After all, aside from fighting and killing, women sometimes have an advantage over men!

After finishing the third reward, Jiang Lai turned his attention to the last one.

The fourth reward is ten million in cash: After use, the host will receive ten million in cash, which will be deposited into your bank account through legitimate channels.

System review: Money makes life better!

After receiving the previous rewards, this last one left Jiang Lai feeling somewhat uninterested, but it was better than nothing.

Jiang Lai wanted to ask the system a question, but after distributing all the rewards, the system disappeared again, and no matter how Jiang Lai called out to it, it didn't work!

The system is pretty good, but it feels a bit unintelligent, Jiang Lai thought to himself.

Because time is stopped in the system space, Jiang Lai can sleep soundly after receiving the system's rewards. Tomorrow at noon, he will have a hundred loyal and skilled underlings.

Chapter 28 Report

Sunlight filtered through the clouds, gently illuminating the bustling streets. Amidst the busy traffic and hurried crowds, Hong Kong, this vibrant metropolis, seemed to have just awakened from a dream.

Perhaps it was the reward from the system that gave Jiang Lai a sense of fulfillment, which made him sleep exceptionally well that night.

"Good morning, Abu!" Jiang Lai greeted Abu when he woke up and found him already sitting on the sofa.

"Good morning!" Abu glanced at Jiang Lai and then replied.

After tidying up, Jiang Lai said to Abu, "Let's go have some morning tea!"
