Arknights, are you a good person?

The sharp handwriting with sword energy made Qi Yuan worry that the goods were not what he ordered, so he made a small request. Xingxiong hesitated for a moment and nodded.

“Only one page.”

Xingxiong turned to the title page of the boxing manual, and large, ink-rich characters caught his eyes.

[The sun sets over the splendid river, and the heaven and earth make me feel great! ]

With just one sentence, Qi Yuan immediately confirmed that this was the authentic Zhongyue Fist.

The goods are very pure.

Seeing that Qi Yuan was sure, Xing Xiong first breathed a sigh of relief, but then a sense of doubt came to his mind.

"Qi Yuan, why did you know for sure that this was the authentic product at a glance?"

“Maybe it’s because I’m a genius.”

Qi Yuan said vaguely.

Where is this going?

Xingxiong was even more confused. She suddenly remembered those Longmen comics that she had read while leaning on her motorcycle when she was a speed racer. There were strong martial arts elements in the comics. The genius of the comics could suddenly realize his own skills just by looking at the boxing manual.

Qi Yuan, could it be that you have had an epiphany?

It's not entirely impossible.

Unlike Qi Yuan and Xing Xiong who were having a cordial conversation, the employee lounge of Penguin Logistics was unusually tense at this moment.

Three people, gathered around a phone.

Silent as water.

There were bursts of noise coming from the hands-free receiver, as if it was backstage at a lively concert, but the person on the phone remained silent, occasionally making a clicking sound, as if he was very unhappy.

"So, while I was away at a music festival, not only did you recruit a new guy, but you were also planning to do something big with him?"

Croissant and Exia nodded repeatedly into the phone.

Only Texas was sober enough and said into the phone, "Boss, this matter is originally related to Penguin Logistics. Even if there is no Guard Bureau, we have to take action to solve it."

Silence again.

The three of them felt nervous at the same time, somewhat like the situation a long time ago when they sought the emperor's permission to adopt a hamster. The nervousness and uneasiness were exactly the same as today.

"Are you happy?"

After a long time, the emperor on the other end of the phone asked unhappily.

"Happy!"

"I feel very good."

Croissant and Exia expressed their opinions.

Hearing this, the emperor on the other end of the phone seemed even more unhappy: "You all feel happy, but you still ask me what I am doing? Do you expect me to spoil your fun?"

"You agree?" Texas asked.

"Isn't what I said clear enough?"

There was a hint of arrogance in the emperor's DJ voice: "However, you are not good at judging people. When I come back, I must carefully examine this Qi Yuan. That's it for now. I'm hanging up... Alas, a bunch of children who never grow up."

"Great!"

019: Crying also counts as time

Afterwards, Xingxiong gave a few more instructions and left the bar briskly at the end of the Guard Bureau's working hours.

"Efficient, no casualties."

"Try not to make a big deal out of it!"

Xingxiong repeatedly emphasized the last point, fearing that Penguin Logistics would fall on deaf ears.

"To be on the safe side, our Guard Bureau will form a panel of judges to observe the criminals' lair in advance. While helping you keep watch, we will also evaluate whether your behavior is out of line."

"Don't worry, I'm best at walking on the edge of the law." Qi Yuan comforted.

"Ah this..."

The heart that had been put at ease was weighed down again.

Xingxiong sighed. Let smart people worry about these things. She thought she was a stupid person who could only execute well and...

She lowered her head and stroked the shield, and the shield responded with a long humming sound.

In this commotion, don't let anyone get hurt.

“That’s all I can do.”

Xingxiong talked to herself, and Penguin Logistics watched her from behind until she disappeared at the intersection.

Croissant sighed with emotion: "I always feel like she's very tired. I don't know why, but Xingxiong and I have a lot in common."

"Maybe because you are all shield guards."

Qi Yuan's hint left Croissant completely confused.

Angel of Power came up to Qi Yuan and asked, "Qi Yuan Qi Yuan, Xing Xiong pulled you away just now. Is there any secret reward? Let me see."

“There are indeed rewards.”

Qi Yuan nodded gently: "As long as this can be done, not only will Penguin Logistics be able to receive commissions from the Guard Bureau in the future, but I can also get it personally..."

The pupils of the Archangel gradually began to glow.

"A boxing manual."

When Angel of Power heard that it was a book teaching people how to box, he immediately lost all interest.

That’s it?

"Times have changed, Qi Yuan, you might as well study magic and learn the basics of firearms from our Sakota."

She advised earnestly.

Compared to the noisy boxing, Archangel Exia prefers the clacking shooting. The latter is obviously more lively than the former, and the lighting effects are more gorgeous.

Qi Yuan shook his head and said nothing.

"Let's talk about action."

He changed the subject:

"Don't underestimate the enemy just because they act a little foolishly. Think carefully about the requirements of the Guard Bureau."

It has to be admitted that the intelligence gathering capability of the Guard Bureau is indeed much higher than that of Penguin Logistics. From interrogating the prisoners to field investigations, and then to compiling them into detailed intelligence booklets, it took less than a day in total.

Texas held the intelligence book in his hand and suddenly had a wonderful feeling of working with professionals. His future was bright.

Thinking of this, she looked at Qi Yuan with another complicated look.

"You can call this enemy stupid or cunning."

"Except for the time when I accidentally called Penguin Logistics when delivering the dragon head stick, they were on the right track every step of the way... Angel of Death, please don't laugh and try to overcome it."

"I'll try my best." Exiah covered her mouth apologetically.

Texas then straightened his face and continued speaking.

"This is a gang that has just arrived and has no idea about the division of power in Longmen, but they are very tactical and cohesive. They are advancing aggressively with powerful tactics wrapped in a strategic pig that is unbearable to watch. This is Shi Huaiya's comment."

"The leader's nickname is Feixue, and he likes to ask his subordinates to recite the gang rules..."

Texas tells the story.

"What? The brother we sent out this morning has been out of contact for a day?"

The fat and big-eared leader stood on the top of a tall building, smiling at the secular world below. He had the illusion that he had already entered the Dragon Gate, as majestic as Feng Xu riding the wind, but was immediately thrown down to the mortal world by intelligence.

Fei Xue was so angry that he put out the cigar in his hand, and the veins on his arms were visible.

"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier?"

"I'm afraid he has already betrayed me." Gang member B was secretly making trouble.

"Shut up!"

Fei Xue threw the cigar in a parabola, hitting Gangster B squarely in the face: "Those who fabricate rumors, spread rumors, and alienate brothers shall not be killed by ten thousand swords!"

"This is your second mistake. Last time you misjudged some big boss from Penguin Logistics. Since you're new here, you have to recite the gang rules fifty times!"

"what?"

The gang member named, B, started crying and looked sad.

"Boss Feixue, you know me well. I joined gangs because I couldn't concentrate on my studies. I've been in so many gangs, but I've never been asked to memorize anything. The Thirty-Six Oaths are too long. I'm new here, and I haven't memorized them yet."

If you are in a gang, you need to study. If you are not in a gang, you also need to study...

Then this gang is in vain?

"There is no order without rules. All walks of life must abide by rules. Our underworld must also have our own rules." Fei Xue argued confidently, jumped down from the observation deck, and put on the silver mink cloak handed to him by his gang members.

"We have encountered temporary difficulties..."

He spoke of his ambitions with great vigor: "Do you know why I rented an apartment in a wealthy area?"

"According to my observation, any incident that happens in the slums is always covered up by an invisible hand and never causes a big stir. I guess it's the work of the Guards. This way, they won't have a headache no matter how many people die in the slums. Renting a hall in the slums to save money is not worth the loss."

"The density of villas occupied by the top wealthy people is too small. In addition, the wealthy often have their own private security forces, and some of them have close personal connections with the Imperial Guard Bureau, so they are not suitable for gangs."

"Only here..."

Fei Xue shook the cigar in his hand and said clearly, "The people here are rich, but not rich enough to contact the real high-level officials of Longmen. However, there are many of them and they have money. The combined strength will be a headache for the Imperial Guard Bureau. Therefore, as long as all the people here do not suddenly run away, the Imperial Guard Bureau will not launch a major operation."

"These middle-class people...will not behave as obediently when facing the Royal Guards as they do when facing the gangs."

"It may seem expensive, but this is an investment in the future. With time, we will surely become the largest underworld in Longmen!"

"it is good!"

Cheers came and went.

Only Gang member B, who was reciting the gang rules, burst into tears, feeling that he was out of place.

"If you are so good at selling real estate, why don't you become a real estate agent..."

For no reason, Gang Member B began to miss that person, when he was a D-level personnel in the black pharmacy, when he was a water deliveryman in the underground boxing match, when he was a cleaner in the gigolo bar... that figure who made him lose his job countless times.

"Qi Yuan, come and destroy this gang!" Gang member B was in tears and talked to himself.

Meanwhile, on the first floor of the same apartment building.

Bang bang bang.

Hearing the noise, the homeowner opened the door vigilantly and ran into four murderous men in sunglasses, three women and one man.

"We have requisitioned your house. Disappear for a few days."

The leading man took off his sunglasses and spoke with a tone as majestic as a mountain, which made people feel breathless. The female Sakta behind him drew her gun in response, and for a moment, murderous aura and suffocating breath flowed freely.

"Who are you...I...I know a police officer from the Guards Bureau!"

The man backed away again and again, but still retorted with his neck stiff, like a rooster with its neck pinched.

"Guards Bureau?"

Qi Yuan took off his sunglasses and said sarcastically.

"I'm telling you, the one I'm least afraid of is the Imperial Guard. Get out of here right now, and don't come back in the next two days."

Ah this.

The gangs are so arrogant that they are not even afraid of the Guards?
