Bizarre Survival: I Can Devour Thousands of Talents

Chapter 103, Section 102: The Legendary Burn-Resistant King, the Yang Energy Stealer

The battle was fierce, but actually not that fierce.

It looked quite frightening with the flames, but neither of Ling Xiao's two acquaintances had a bad review.

Smoke curled up on the sidewalk.

After the intense burning, only two charred, thin skeletons remained on the ground.

It's hard to imagine that two people of such enormous size would have so few bone fragments left after being burned.

To be fair, the fire was indeed very strong and burned for a very long time.

Ling Xiao waved his hand, dispelling the heat waves and smoke.

A sanitation truck wobbled along.

The sprightly old man, rarely seeing trash, excitedly unscrewed the brakes, grabbed the shovel stuck beside the car, and rushed over.

Fortunately, Ling Xiao, being a citizen, was already able to sense the fluctuations of the official uniforms of the self-governing officials and others.

That's why I'm waiting so calmly.

"Young man! This is you...?"

Could you please pick up any litter you find on the street?

"Hehe! Alright!"

When the old man saw that Ling Xiao was so understanding, he grinned with genuine joy.

"I didn't see anything! I picked these two up on the road!"

He swung his shovel as he spoke.

With a seemingly small shovel, two corpses were firmly thrown into the back of the sanitation truck.

"Young man, you are a blessed person! You will surely make a fortune through good deeds and acts of kindness in the future!"

The sanitation worker was quite a character; after chatting with Ling Xiao for a few moments, he turned on the switch and continued collecting garbage.

Actually, Ling Xiao had some other thoughts just now.

After all, the more monsters you fight, the more comfortable you become with the loot.

Having it suddenly taken away by someone else inevitably brings a sense of loss and mixed emotions.

However, he always kept in mind the few unspoken rules of society that Wang Taige had "unintentionally" revealed.

For example, temporary citizens must walk on the sidewalk unless absolutely necessary and must not step onto the road!

Even when crossing an intersection, you have to use the zebra crossing.

These are the most basic traffic rules, but trying to be clever here is truly courting death!

Wang Taige and Xin Ba's seemingly joking conversations about other municipal workers were actually subtle hints to Ling Xiao.

Therefore, while Ling Xiao was wary of these two officers, he was also genuinely grateful to them.

Aside from Qi Heng, they were the most trustworthy "characters".

For the rest of the journey, nothing else dared to cause trouble.

Ling Xiao returned to the staff lounge through the back door.

No turtles were seen.

I don't know if I was too quick, or if the other person was busy with other things after returning.

I glanced at the window; there were no new delivery orders.

Ling Xiao brought the money for the meal to the cashier, where Xiao Mo, whose feet couldn't reach the ground, was sitting and drawing something.

"Hello, I've delivered the food. The cost... should be fifty, right?"

Seeing Xiao Mo look up in surprise, Ling Xiao couldn't help but ask, "Is there a problem?"

"Oh, no."

Xiao Mo accepted the five blue chips from Ling Xiao with both hands, opened the drawer, and neatly arranged them.

With his tall and strong physique, Ling Xiao successfully glanced at the various chips in the drawer.

Blue was the most common color, arranged in six columns.

There are fewer red columns, only three.

Black is the rarest, with only a handful.

After putting it away, Xiao Mo smiled sweetly and said, "Yellow, you did a great job!"

As Xiao Mo confirmed the meal cost, Ling Xiao felt a cool breeze surge through his yellow windbreaker, as if it were blowing directly through his body, carrying away the "dust" that had accumulated over time.

So this is what it means to complete an order.

When was I contaminated?

Or perhaps, I had already undergone some kind of alienation?

Before he could think any further, Xiao Mo smiled gently.

"If it's the blue turtle, it will hand over three coins and then keep the remaining two for itself."

Damn it!

Eat 40%?!

My senior colleague seemed honest, but I never expected him to be such a thief!

"That……"

His instinct was to ask what the punishment would be.

With a new employee like myself now able to complete orders, does that mean the old employee, Turtle, who's been lining his own pockets, will become the dish on the plate?

But he managed to hold back in time.

Because if a leader exposes a colleague's shortcomings in front of you, you'll have to think about it carefully, whether it's good or bad!

Ling Xiao used to scoff at it, but now he wants to analyze it frame by frame!

Fortunately, Xiao Mo didn't speak vaguely like the seasoned veterans, leaving his subordinates to speculate wildly and try to guess the "sacred intentions."

She said in a clear voice, "The minimum and the minimum are actually a game between the restaurant and the customers, and it is also the main source of your reasonable income."

"As long as the delivery driver can recover the minimum payment, any extra desire points will be considered as your bonus."

"Of course, it's not acceptable to pay less than the minimum amount, but it's also your responsibility to pay more than that."

The latest novel is first published here!

"If customers cause a scene at the restaurant, we'll have no choice but to expose your greed to prove your innocence!"

Damn it!

Huge loss!

Ling Xiao wore a look of half-understanding on his face, but his heart was bleeding.

That's twenty yuan!

Security guards only dare to extort ten yuan.

The value of twenty desire points is likely to far exceed the purchasing power of normal currency.

With this in mind, Ling Xiao quickly inquired about the salary and benefits and how to spend money.

The former was still in his probationary period, so he did not have a basic salary, only a "performance" bonus that he earned himself.

The latter required Xiao Mo to give Ling Xiao a good talking-to, so that he could roughly understand how to spend money.

"It's almost noon, you can have a staff meal in advance. If you're willing to pay extra, the kitchen can prepare some snacks."

While keeping accounts, Xiao Mo gave Ling Xiao a suggestion.

After careful consideration, there is nothing wrong with it.

Because he was really "hungry".

Having already reached LV15, Ling Xiao had already increased his physique to 17.

Logically speaking, even without food or water, he could survive for a long time without any supplements.

But this body did indeed convey the long-forgotten concept of "hunger" after a morning of running around.

Without forcing himself to endure it, Ling Xiao readily discussed the price of the customized employee meals with Xiao Mo.

The reason he only communicated instead of placing an order was because he was currently penniless.

It could have been twenty...

Unexpectedly, dimples appeared on Xiao Mo's face. She opened the drawer again, took out a blue chip, and said with a smile, "Don't do it again!"

"Once the meal expenses are deposited into the treasury, the only way to pay you out is through your salary. I'll pretend these 10 o'clock expenses were never recorded."

"Thank you! Thank you so much!"

Now, the adorable Xiao Mo is on par with Wang Taige!

Employee meals are free, but additional charges apply for dietary restrictions.

If the kitchen can and is willing to make it, I'll add five yuan per serving.

Ling Xiao was initially quite happy, but when he thought of the can of eyeballs in the delivery box and the fingers that were sent as a dish, his smile involuntarily faded.

I ordered a beef bento box; I don't want anything else weird or unusual.

He thanked Xiao Mo again and returned to the lounge.

While waiting for the food, I sent Qi Heng the rules and strategies I had found out.

The text message had barely been sent when the other end replied with a string of exclamation marks.

"!!!"

"Holy crap, Brother Xiao! My yang energy is being drained dry!"

"???"

Ling Xiao quickly pressed, "Which one is absorbing your yang energy? Weren't you supposed to be in charge of the morgue?"

"Wait... ah!?"
