Terrible news! My deskmate's first chapter is gone!

In a small city like Yancheng, Flying Tennis is considered a very high-end tennis court.

The store is only closed for four days throughout the year: Lunar New Year's Eve and the first, second, and third days of the Lunar New Year. The rest of the time, it is open 24 hours a day.

Chen Xi was surprised that she hadn't been dragged into the Black Tower yet.

Today, the population of Yancheng is more than 90% less than before the black fog descended.

Following the trend, everyone will eventually have to go in, but for ordinary people, it's definitely better to go in later.

Looking at the female receptionist still standing at the front desk with a smile, Chen Xi felt quite strange.

The other person was the first to witness him step into the extraordinary world.

Just as Chen Xi was about to take another step forward.

Yang Wei tugged at Chen Xi's sleeve and whispered:

"front desk."

Chen Xi's expression remained unchanged, but a hint of surprise flashed in his eyes.

This woman is actually a superhuman?

When did this happen? Was it before you met me?

Could it be that she was playing dumb all along?

Thinking of this, Chen Xi felt a sense of gravity.

But I'll say it again.

Since we're already here!

Let's see what this receptionist is up to.

Chen Xi led the two to the front desk.

The employee badge had the female receptionist's name on it.

Lin Xiaohui.

A name that sounds nice, is easy to remember, and is also common.

Then Chen Xi uttered a familiar line:

"Court No. 5"

Unexpectedly, the female receptionist looked at Chen Xi and immediately cursed:

"That idiot is playing tennis again!"

"Before, you took advantage of your illness to bully me and didn't dare to do anything."

"They even threatened to make me watch the security footage."

"He was muttering something at the door again just now."

"I'll just say 'hehehe'~~~"

The receptionist was furious when she saw Chen Xi and made a face at her.

This action clearly exceeded Chen Xi's expectations, leaving him stunned.

However, having seen a dragon before, he possessed a strong mental fortitude and quickly calmed down.

"When did you awaken?"

Chen Xi got straight to the point.

Yang Wei saw that his identity was that of a receptionist, and the serial number of this identity was 303.

Yang Wei is currently at Stage II, and his extraordinary characteristic "Truth" reveals his identity as a fellow Stage II individual.

If I didn't see it, it means it didn't exist, which means the female receptionist is only a Level I superhuman.

In addition, this identity is relatively easy to upgrade, so Lin Xiaohui's awakening time will definitely not be very long.

But it certainly won't be as fast as the career advancement of a food delivery worker.

On the one hand, a front desk user needs visitors to gain experience; simply standing there might give experience points, but not many.

On the other hand, her working hours are also shorter than those of food delivery drivers.

"Awakening?"

"What is it?"

"etc!!!"

"How can you see me?"

"You're dead too?"

"Are you ghosts too?"

"ghost?"

"What nonsense are you spouting?"

"We are staunch atheists!"

Yang Wei didn't want to speak, but Lin Xiaohui was indeed beautiful, so he instinctively interrupted.

"Aaaaaaahhhhhh~~~"

Lin Xiaohui suddenly screamed.

That was the sound of excitement.

"I've finally found someone I can talk to!"

"Suddenly it got dark, and everyone acted as if they couldn't see me, going about their own business. I felt like I was in the underworld!"

"Excuse me, who are you? Or who are we?"

Lin Xiaohui, who had just been calling Chen Xi an idiot, suddenly looked at her with shining eyes, as if she had found a long-lost relative.

"Ahem... I'm from the organization!"

"Awakening is about acquiring an identity. The identity you've acquired is that of a receptionist, right?"

"How did you awaken, and when did you awaken?"

As the saying goes, one's identity is determined by oneself when traveling, and Chen Xi readily offered this, so the two were even.

Sure enough, everything went smoothly after that.

"right!"

Lin Xiaohui affirmed.

"I had a fight with my ex-husband the other day, isn't it ridiculous? We just got divorced, and he's already refusing to hand over his salary every month?"

"Do you think this person has any conscience?"

Seeing that Chen Xi and the other two remained silent, she was certain that they agreed with her idea.

"Later, for some reason, a handsome male colleague who was supposed to switch shifts with me went to change clothes and never came out. I got angry and just left."

"When I got home, I got angrier and angrier. When I was so angry that my brain almost shut down, the identity you mentioned appeared in my mind: receptionist."

"I didn't think much of it and just assumed it was a hallucination, but my health has improved a lot."

"It should be that the so-called Ren and Du meridians have been opened."

"After standing all day, my back doesn't ache and my legs don't hurt anymore."

"I continued to go to get off work as usual, but one day a week later, I woke up and the sky never brightened again."

"Therefore, I awoke on the eighth day before nightfall."

After listening to Lin Xiaohui's speech, Yang Wei extinguished the flames of hatred he felt for Cao Cao.

Extreme anger?

Indeed, all emotions are essentially a kind of mental power, Chen Xi thought to himself.

"Since you say no one can see you, why are you still working here? Is it even worth it?"

Chen Xi didn't care about Lin Xiaohui's family conflicts; he focused on being pragmatic.

"Of course it's meaningful, but it might be related to the identity you mentioned. Just standing here makes me feel very comfortable."

"That feeling will disappear once I leave that front desk position."

"So I've just been standing here. Anyway, I'm in good health now, and I'm not tired."

Chen Xi nodded in understanding.

So this is an identity where you can gain experience points just by standing there!

One can already imagine how difficult her Phase II mission will be.

"Wait, you said you'd stand here the whole time?"

"Is it like this after dark?"

"No, about half a month after dark, I thought I was a wandering ghost."

"I didn't know what to do, and I wasn't hungry, but I remembered that identity, so I came to stand at the front desk."

"I got hooked on standing there after just one stop."

"Where will you sleep?"

"A guest room?"

"Do you want to pay?"

Yang Wei suddenly asked a question, his focus unusual.

No, that's not the case.

After Lin Xiaohui finished speaking, she grabbed at the wall and opened a door.

It wasn't very big, but it had everything you'd expect: a bed, water, food, a bathroom, and so on.

"I don't know what this means, but after I got the front desk job, I gained the ability to 'book rooms'."

"A room can be created from any wall."

"I don't know where to go. My parents and ex-husband are gone, so I'm just staying at the front desk."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xi finally understood.

All my previous assumptions and conspiracy theories about the female receptionist were utter nonsense.

They just happened to awaken at a certain point!

Have you ever seen such a person?

"Only one eyebrow, and it's a man's."

Chen Xi's description was rather hasty, but the other person's appearance was distinctive enough that Lin Xiaohui would likely remember them if she had been here before.

The fake person likes their own appearance and generally will not change their appearance.

If a person with a single eyebrow doesn't look handsome, it means they care a lot about their appearance and therefore haven't tried to change anything.

"have."

Lin Xiaohui didn't think much and gave an answer immediately, which meant she must have remembered it well.

"To be honest, I was reading a novel at the time and didn't even look up."

"I only saw his face through the reflection of my phone as he walked past me."

"He also said something strange, something like..."

"The Black Tower is right here!"
