When the game shut down, I took my skills with me.

Chapter 4: Am I being kept by the state?

Su Muqiu stood in front of the tightly closed door, listening to the faint, cheerful laughter coming from inside: "Royal Flush! Spring! Hahaha!" He was completely bewildered.

In Mr. Lu's eyes, what was an apocalyptic disaster really just affecting his card playing?

The worldview she had built up over twenty-three years was repeatedly shattered and trampled on the ground on this day.

She took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the sense of absurdity in her heart, and turned to leave. As the property manager, she still had a lot to do, such as reassuring other residents and cooperating with the approaching officials…

However, as soon as she stepped down the stairs, she saw several black SUVs with special license plates silently drive into the residential area.

The car door opened, and a group of men dressed in black suits, with solemn expressions and a decisive, military-like demeanor, stepped out. Leading them was a tall, handsome young man—Li Mo, the ace field agent for Dragon Shield.

"Hello, are you Supervisor Su Muqiu?" Li Mo walked up to her and showed her an ID.

The document did not have an organization name on it, but only a gold-plated dragon-shaped shield badge and the title "Senior Commissioner".

Su Muqiu's heart tightened; she knew the person in question had arrived.

"Yes, that's me. How can I help you?" she answered quickly.

Li Mo's gaze lingered on her for a second, as if confirming something, before he said in a calm but undeniable tone, "From now on, we will take full control of the security and logistics of this community. All staff members of your property management company will be temporarily given paid leave, with triple bonuses."

"Huh?" Su Muqiu was stunned.

A complete takeover? Paid leave? What kind of operation is this?

"Why? We didn't receive any notification..."

Li Mo didn't explain, but calmly looked at her: "This is an order. You are handing over to me. Now, please give me all the information about the community, including resident information, architectural drawings, and access to the surveillance system."

Behind him, the men in black had already begun their operation. Some were installing sophisticated, incomprehensible instruments throughout the complex, while others headed directly to the property management office and monitoring center. Their efficiency was frighteningly high, completely unlike that of ordinary security personnel.

Su Muqiu's mind went blank, but she understood from the other person's aura that she had no room for negotiation.

After handing over all the documents, she was politely "asked" to step aside.

She saw Li Mo holding a newly printed list of homeowners, circling the name "Lu Yuan" in red pen, and then instructing his subordinate in a very low voice:

"Activate the 'Guardian' Level 1 Contingency Plan. Establish a three-layer 'Silent Zone' centered on Unit 1, Room 602, Building 7. All signal jamming devices will be on 24 hours a day to ensure that no unnecessary electromagnetic signals will disturb 'the Master'."

"Logistics team, immediately contact the top domestic fresh food suppliers and deliver the freshest ingredients to 'Mr.'s' doorstep daily at the highest standards. Remember, do it like a regular courier service, so as not to offend 'Mr.'"

"Information team, block all negative news about 'abnormal events' that might be pushed to 'Mr.' We want to ensure that the world in 'Mr.'s' eyes is always peaceful and tranquil."

Su Muqiu stood not far away, listening to these unbelievable instructions, the turmoil in his heart was beyond words.

gentlemen?

They call that lazy Mr. Lu, who complains that the noise outside is affecting his card game... "Mr."

Moreover, it was delivered with an almost reverent tone, as if in a pilgrimage.

She suddenly remembered Lu Yuan's languid appearance before closing the door, and an absurd yet perfectly reasonable thought uncontrollably welled up from the bottom of her heart.

Could it be... that the disappearance of that giant dragon in the sky is related to him?

……

Lu Yuan won a few rounds of Dou Dizhu (a card game), stretched contentedly, and felt the effects of the cola wear off, and then felt a little thirsty.

"Ugh, why do people need to eat and drink? It's so troublesome."

He was muttering to himself, just about to "create" some more drinks, when the doorbell rang again.

"Are you trying to kill me?" Lu Yuan said impatiently as he got up to open the door.

Standing at the door was the same expressionless, cool guy in the black suit from before.

It was Li Mo.

When Li Mo saw Lu Yuan open the door, his body tensed instinctively, his eyes filled with extreme awe and nervousness. This was completely different from the cold and aloof he was when facing Su Muqiu.

He carefully recalled the "300 Articles of the Administrator's Manual" that Director Qin and his staff had analyzed overnight. The first article was: Do not speculate, do not ask too many questions, and complete the task with the utmost humility.

"What's up?" Lu Yuan asked lazily, leaning against the doorframe.

"Hello, sir." Li Mo bowed slightly and handed over a plain-looking black envelope with both hands. "We are the new property management company. This is a 'welcome package' prepared for you, as well as instructions on some 'convenience services'."

Lu Yuan raised an eyebrow. Such a good thing?

He casually took the envelope, and it felt a bit heavy in his hand.

Upon opening it, there was no fancy welcome letter inside, just a few items.

A pure black metal card, without any bank logo, only a dragon shield emblem that he couldn't understand.

A set of keys, which looks like they belong to a luxury car.

There was also a file folder.

"What is this thing?" Lu Yuan waved the black card.

"Sir, this is your 'Community Service Card'." Li Mo carefully chose his words, trying to sound like a genuine property management staff member. "You can use it anywhere in the country for purchases, with no spending limit. All bills will be settled by our 'property management company' at the end of the month."

Lu Yuan: "..."

He looked down at the black card in his hand, then looked up at Li Mo, who had a serious expression.

Nationwide spending, no limit? You call this a community service card? Your property management company has quite a wide range of businesses.

He didn't say anything, but opened the file folder again.

Inside was a stack of property ownership certificates.

From a courtyard house in Beijing to a river-view apartment in Shanghai, and a sea-view villa in Sanya... a total of more than a dozen properties are all under his name.

It also came with a roster containing information on top chefs, housekeepers, and private drivers, who would be available 24/7 with just one phone call.

Lu Yuan's fingers paused slightly.

He finally understood.

My act of casually killing that dragon while going out to buy Coke that day was still discovered.

He had originally planned to use alchemy to turn lead into gold to raise some start-up capital, then buy a house and enjoy life. But now, the government has practically delivered a top-of-the-line "salted fish lifestyle" package right to his doorstep.

This……

This incredible wealth has finally fallen right on my head!

Looking at Li Mo, who had an expression that said, "I'm just an ordinary property manager, please don't overthink it," Lu Yuan suddenly found him somewhat agreeable.

He cleared his throat, accepted the items, and patted Li Mo on the shoulder, mimicking a leader's gesture: "Yes, your property management company has excellent service; I'm very satisfied. Keep up the good work."

Li Mo froze when he was patted, and an indescribable excitement welled up in his heart.

Sir... is satisfied!

He was praising the work done by our Dragon Shield Bureau!

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!" Li Mo instinctively straightened his chest and raised his head, shouting out the slogan only soldiers would use.

He regretted it as soon as he shouted it; it was so un-"property management" of him.

However, Lu Yuan didn't care at all. He was considering whether to go to his villa in Sanya to sunbathe or to a courtyard house in Beijing to drink tea.

"Alright, you can leave now if there's nothing else." Lu Yuan waved his hand and slammed the door shut, leaving Li Mo alone at the door, his face flushed with excitement.

Back in the living room, Lu Yuan threw the black card and a bunch of property deeds on the coffee table, then slumped heavily into the sofa and let out a long sigh.

"Ah, here comes my decadent life."
