It's the cyber age now, and you're still playing traditional villains?

Xu Shi turned to look at her with amusement on his face, "Even if there is, it's just a lie to fool Miss Xiao Feng. You didn't believe it, did you?"

"Ms. Xingchuan, understanding and acceptance are two completely different concepts."

Especially for someone like him who has had similar experiences, he would never accept it.

Just kidding, it has always been you, Master Xu, who has the right to bully others. Even though I am an outsider with many suspicious points, you cannot treat me like this, otherwise I will hold a grudge against you.

"Of course, it's not so much disgust as disappointment."

"disappointment?"

"OK."

Xu Shi nodded seriously, because this was a failing protagonist.

He couldn't be completely sure before, but after dealing with him just now, he was sure that Luo Yu was definitely the protagonist in the experimental field of the Hualan Empire.

Both his parents are dead, he is young and promising, and suffers from oppression...and he has a lot of potential romantic luck.

For example, the two sisters Pan Feng and Pan Ling, they are obviously his reserve harem, and the sisters are all very beautiful... And his identity is the Knights Templar who connects the Holy See and the royal family. There is a saint on the left and a queen on the right, which makes it easy for him to get them.

He could even imagine the subsequent development of the other party - currently being deliberately suppressed by those in the Vatican and the royal family, and then soaring to the sky and severely slapping their faces in a while... Luo Yu himself said just now that he was going to fight the "Poseidon" in person, so this was most likely a chance for him to make a name for himself.

Then wait for him to return triumphantly, and then...right? Those who understand will understand, it's an old-fashioned story.

This kid also has the so-called "protagonist's golden finger" - when Yu Xingchuan was dealing with the four bronzes just now, he noticed that when Luo Yu came out, his right hand was also on the sword, and there was a faintly glowing pattern on the back of his hand.

Perhaps it was to prevent the situation from getting out of control? Although it was a very small movement, it still did not escape Xu Shi's keen perception.

Even though he didn't know what it was, Xu Shi still subconsciously thought so. This was probably not a common characteristic of the "upgraded ones" or "chosen ones" of the Hualan Empire, otherwise why didn't anyone else have it?

If this isn't the protagonist, then who is? It's a pity that he doesn't meet Xu Shi's standards.

It's not that this guy lacks abilities, he hasn't even shown them yet. His brain is pretty good, as evidenced by what happened just now. He's not a hot-blooded, stupid protagonist, he's got a lot of clever tricks in him.

When encountering problems, he would test the waters on others first. If those four bronzes were his trusted supporters, then this would be called hypocrisy; on the contrary, if they were spies planted for him by the Holy See, then he was testing himself and finding an opportunity to clear himself and kill someone with a borrowed knife.

But all in all, this is called a little treachery, which in a sense is very similar to the classmate Shen He who has already died. This is definitely not a plus point in Xu Shi's eyes.

On the contrary, if he is really a very evil person, he might even take a second look at him. It's a pity that it is difficult for the protagonist to possess such good qualities.

Not to mention that this guy was so hostile to me as soon as they met... It's right to be cautious, but he's willing to hurt others without knowing anything?

Maybe it has something to do with the protagonist's natural jealousy? Seeing friends and relatives praising strangers makes him feel uncomfortable... You know, for a certain type of protagonist, even if others say a few more words to a girl, it's wrong.

But no matter what, this is the result. Director Xu had said long ago that if the other party had any bad intentions, they must not be allowed to stay. If they were allowed to stay, it would be a hidden danger.

That was why he felt disappointed, because there was no fundamental conflict between him and Luo Yu, but it was obvious that the other party was not qualified to be his ally in overthrowing "Heavenly Law", and it was over before it even began.

To be honest, among all these experimental fields, are there no real, magnificent and upright protagonists? Most likely, there are, but he just can't meet them.

At least not yet... Thinking of this, it’s not disappointment, Xiao Xu even feels a little sad.

Life is not easy, Xiao Xu sighed.

"So, Mr. Xu, what are your plans?"

Seeing that he was silent for a long time, Yu Xingchuan couldn't help but ask a question.

"Follow our pace."

Xu Shi sighed, "You can give up on people, but you can't let go of the goods."

For example, the "Poseidon" is also a research object of their concern. Maybe he has some good stuff on him... Then you can take it. The same goes for the others.

"learn."

Yu Xingchuan understood, "I'll hit wherever Director Xu points."

"You have a good work attitude, keep it up."

Xu Shi was very satisfied with this. "By the way, I forgot to ask you just now. When you fought with those people, what did you think of their level?"

“…I don’t feel anything.”

The adjutant shook her head. "I got up and killed them in one move. What's there to say... Even if they weren't wearing armor, it wouldn't be too difficult to kill them."

As she spoke, she took out a few small metal balls from her belt. She exerted a little force and the metal balls floated in the air and changed into various shapes.

This is the weapon she carries with her, and she can torture her opponent to death with just this - as an A+ rank "Upgrader", she still has this confidence.

"I didn't realize before that you are actually very capable."

Xu Shi did not deny her statement and asked with interest, "Can we go a step further? For example... forcibly extract the metal elements in the human body?"

He subconsciously thought of a scene from a movie in his previous life, so he asked casually.

"Well..."

Yu Xingchuan thought about it, then shook his head, "Sorry, I can't do it."

"If you can't do it, just use wormwood."

Xu Shi joked.

"You agreed?"

The adjutant looked surprised.

"Ok?"

Xu Shi was surprised and asked, "What are you talking about, Miss Yu Xingchuan?"

"You don't really want to get into my bed that badly, do you?"

The other party was so straightforward that he didn't know how to respond.

"... Mr. Xu doesn't like it?"

Yu Xingchuan answered irrelevantly, and just showed off her slender figure, "I am not worse than Governor Tang, am I?"

To be honest, the adjutant lady definitely has a good figure - or rather, how can a combat-type personnel have a bad figure?

She is similar to Tang Shuang and Xia Wuyou, all of them have a very fit body without a trace of fat, and their deliberately exposed belly clearly shows the outline of their abs.

And that pair of long legs in over-the-knee boots is enough to show off for a year.

But Xu Shi also knew that her purpose was not pure, so he just smiled.

"Have you ever done this before?"

"No."

Yu Xingchuan made no secret of this question, "In fact, I have never even had a boyfriend... Director Tang used to be very strict and did not allow office romances."

Speaking of this, she still wanted to complain. You didn't allow others to talk about it, but you took the lead in breaking the rules... Although Governor Tang and Xu Shi officially confirmed their relationship after leaving the Inspection Bureau, the signs had been there for a long time. She was his close adjutant, so naturally she had feelings about this.

But this is just an excuse for her. The truth is that she has no such intention at all. Her ultimate goal is to get promoted and become a successful person.

At present, Xu Shi is her goal, and the so-called dedication is just a means.

"Why me?"

Xu Shi asked again.

"Because... no one before you has achieved more than you."

The adjutant answered honestly.

In fact, she had anticipated this a long time ago, but she just didn't know how to approach it. Fortunately, Xu Shi took the initiative to find her before the last riot, so she certainly didn't want to miss this opportunity and decisively bet on it.

The good news is that the bet was successful, and Xu Shi became the top leader of Night Sin City. Of course, she was willing to go a step further.

"Is that all?"

Xu Shi thought for a moment, and then asked a very interesting question, "What if someone becomes more successful than me in the future, or I am an old man in my seventies or eighties?"

“…I can’t find anyone better than you.”

Yu Xingchuan paused and gave an equally interesting answer, "Besides, you're not an old man, are you?"

“That makes sense.”

Xu Shi didn't comment, but he wasn't impressed by this blunt answer. "Let's talk about this later."

“Is there any difference between now and later?”

The adjutant lady was a little reluctant. Having said that, she also wanted to test Xu Shi's attitude.

"The difference is whether I want to do it or not, right?"

Xu Shi said seriously, "You are now considered my employee. There must be a probation period."

"Then...how would Mr. Xu rate my current performance?"

Yu Xingchuan blinked and said.

“Above average?”

Xu Shi's answer was ambiguous, "At least, following your boss is not a good habit, right?"

"Hey?"

The adjutant was stunned. "Did you find out?"

Xu Shi thought to himself, what do you think? Don't underestimate my buddy's mental strength... When he went out in the morning, he knew that there was such a little tail following him.

How else could Yu Xingchuan show up at such a perfect time? I really thought she just happened to pass by.

"I was just wandering around..."

Yu Xingchuan did not admit it and just kept a tough attitude for a while.

But the reality is indeed like this. We can always find more opportunities by following him. If that doesn't work, we can still create opportunities... Don't underestimate my ambition!

Moreover.

"If I weren't here, you wouldn't be able to find someone to play the villain, right?"

She curled her lips and took credit for herself.

The fact is that it is not Luo Yu’s privilege to play the good cop and the bad cop at the same time. Xu Shi did the same thing just now, didn’t he?

It was Yu Xingchuan who did the hurting. Xiao Xu just played the gentle little white lotus. Not only did he not destroy his impression among the people on Yinsong Island, he also did not suffer any loss.

Didn’t you see that Pan Feng just came to apologize to him... From this perspective, he is going to win more.

"Don't bother me. I can handle it without you."

Xu Shicai did not admit it, but what he said was not a lie. Although he was a non-combatant facing four or even five people at one time, he had the latest technology of Night Sin City, "Yujing" in his hand.

When he was trapped in the sword formation just now, he only felt the oppression for a moment, but when the protective force field was deployed, he felt no pressure at all. This was why he was so relaxed that made those bronze warriors drop their jaws.

This is the case without turning on Attack Mode. We don’t know what will happen if the real thing comes to pass.

The fact that the protective force field can resist it also indirectly proves that no matter whether it is the Night Sin City or the Hualan Empire, the supernatural powers used are all derived from the "Rust Mist" or "Divine Breath", and they all remain essentially the same.

But.

"Their sword formation is quite interesting."

Xu Shi did not deny this either, "At least in the technology we currently have, there is no such collaboration."

This is true. In the past, everyone in Night Sin City fought alone. If they cooperated, it was based on their respective abilities. I have never seen a multi-person move like this where everyone works together.

This also proves that the Hualan Empire's supernatural power system still has its merits. Every stick has its own strengths and weaknesses.

“It’s really… wrong!”

Yu Xingchuan reacted to this, but she soon realized that someone was trying to change the subject. "Anyway, it's me this time! If I perform like this...will give me some extra points, right?"

"...Okay, okay, one point."

Xu Shi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. Why did you keep focusing on that topic? Your ambition was about to overflow the screen...

"Great!"

I have the final say on the total score... Xu Shi silently complained, "Let's go back to the base."

On the way, he casually asked another question, "Come to think of it, what did you call me just now, Master?"

"Yeah...yes."

The adjutant nodded. "It would be weird to call you Mr. Xu here, right? Calling you Captain Xu is also a bit awkward... I'll just call you the same way as Director Su. I'm your bodyguard."

"that's not allowed."

Xu Shi corrected him seriously, "How can you call me this casually?"
