OBS Chapter 62 The Weak Me
Chapter 62 The Weak Me
The review continued until 10 p.m.
When Lu Shi was released, he saw Captain Fu and Xiao Chen not far away, as well as Sister Xu yawning not far away.
She usually goes to sleep around this time.
It's hard to stay up late when you get old.
Seeing Lu Shi's bloodied appearance, Sister Xu immediately stepped forward with heartache, pulled Lu Shi to the car, and then cleaned Lu Shi's wounds.
"It's good that everyone is alright," Captain Fu said with a cigarette in his mouth.
Xiao Chen had his head down as if he was thinking about something, but when he saw Lu Shi, he raised his head and a smile appeared on his face.
Then the sound of a motorcycle came from the side, and Wang Zijian pulled over the motorcycle he had used when he landed.
The review department found the key that Lu Shi had left on the ground. After confirming that there was no problem, Wang Zijian picked it up on his behalf and drove over the car that Lu Shi had parked on the other side.
Looking at the people in the third squad, Lu Shi twitched the corner of his mouth, which could be considered a smile.
Regardless, his attempt this time can be considered a success.
By returning to Monday under the banner of "Sunday without God," history is supposedly rewritten.
Xiao Chen did not die at Zhou Jianye's hands.
The vice president was not transferred as a result.
Next, if the mastermind wants to manipulate the changes at No. 1 Middle School, they will need to find another means.
In this way, the situation can be brought under control.
Lu Shi's path to promotion will be much smoother.
Just ...
"Let's go, didn't we say we'd have a barbecue dinner?" Captain Fu looked Lu Shi up and down and steered the conversation toward food.
"Is the captain going to treat us?" Wang Zijian asked with a smile.
"Go away, go away, what kind of treat am I offering? The great hero is treating!" Captain Fu waved his hand and looked at Lu Shi.
"Single-handedly interrupting the erosion domain—that's enough to level you up two levels!"
In the Metaphysics Society, contract workers have no ranks; their wages only increase with their seniority.
After being transferred to a permanent position, job grades began to be established.
When you first change jobs, you start as a level 1 employee. You need to rely on your merits or years of service to be promoted to the next level.
Only after reaching level three are you eligible to apply to lead a team, which is the current position of Deputy Captain, the captain of Team One.
Of course, at this level, one can also enter the third division without leading a team.
The heads and deputy heads of the Logistics Department, Analysis Department, and Review Department are all team leaders.
Generally speaking, after the captain level, there can be three levels.
Once you reach level three, you can be promoted to the level of president or vice president.
Throughout the process, the level of metaphysical ability can accelerate the process, but it is not the decisive factor.
For example, the deputy directors of the logistics department and the analysis department are not level three ability users.
Comparatively speaking, among the six teams, the field agents place more emphasis on the level of metaphysical ability.
Level 3 staff do not need Level 3 abilities, but if they want to become team leaders, they must raise their metaphysical abilities to Level 3.
Lu Shi is currently a Level 1 employee, but today's achievements will likely allow him to become a Level 3 employee.
It is estimated that Lu Shi will be able to get promoted and make a fortune in about ten to fifteen days.
He really did get rich; he was a first-level employee at the metaphysics society, earning a monthly salary of 12,000.
A level 3 employee can earn around 20,000 yuan a month.
With all the benefits included, the actual take-home pay is estimated to be around 25,000.
Besides that, many other things can be reimbursed.
For example, fuel costs, weekday food and lodging, etc.
If anything around you is damaged due to metaphysics or supernatural events, the metaphysics society will reimburse you.
Generally speaking, the employees of the Metaphysics Society don't have to worry much about money, except for Captain Fu.
As the team leader, he wears the same leather jacket all year round, and he never lights a pack of cigarettes. Since Xiao Chen joined the company, the pack of cigarettes in the team leader's hand has been the same, and he hasn't changed it yet.
"Xiao Chen is treating," Lu Shi said with a smile. "He still owes me a meal."
"Wait... are you sure you're not mistaken? Don't you owe me a meal?" Xiao Chen looked completely bewildered.
In his memory, yesterday, Sunday, he and Lu Shi bumped into each other at the mall and ate barbecue together.
We agreed back then that you would come back next time we travel to Lu.
"You still owe me over nine hundred yuan," Lu Shi said with a smile, offering no explanation.
Upon hearing this, Xiao Chen was even more confused. He recalled many things but couldn't remember when he had ever owed Lu Shi money.
"Let's go, I'm hungry," Lu Shi said, his smile fading.
The cars then sped off toward a nearby barbecue restaurant.
Lu Shi seemed somewhat tired and dizzy, perhaps because he had lost a lot of blood due to his injuries.
This barbecue restaurant is quite unique. It's located in the suburbs and uses charcoal fire instead of electric stoves or alcohol lamps.
Charcoal fire has a unique woody aroma.
Various meats and vegetables were grilled on the rack, sizzling and dripping with oil; the aroma of the fire made time seem to slow down.
The sounds of my colleagues chatting and laughing filled my ears.
In the distance, one can hear the chirping of insects.
Looking up at the sky, a half-moon was already hanging there.
"Let's drink! Let's drink!" Captain Fu raised his glass, and Lu Shi held the glass in his hand. The moment he raised it, all the noise and fireworks around them disappeared.
"Oh, it's twelve o'clock." Lu Shi looked around at the empty seats.
Time stood still at that moment.
Lu Shi looked ahead, where their time continued to pass, but Lu Shi was left behind on this day.
Shaking his head, Lu Shi held a wine glass in one hand and opened the other, revealing a dozen or so Time Coins, which represented his only remaining future.
This was only because Lu Shi had taken the opportunity to acquire more Time Coins during the previous invasion of the domain; otherwise, the number of Time Coins would have been even less.
This act of recklessness has come at a severe price.
Lu Shi remained in the past, and day by day, his thoughts became connected.
The connection of nine thousand thoughts instantly surrounded Lu Shi with emotions, and then he broke free from them.
At this moment, Lu Shi realized his serious shortcomings.
If he really was just an ordinary person with metaphysical abilities, then he could indeed be proud of taking down Zhang Lifeng and killing Zhou Jianye within a single day.
But that's not all he is.
This time, I sensed the power of time, as well as various other special forces, within the eroded domain.
That immense power to manipulate and control time, that unique existence of life forms on the timeline.
This experience made Lu Shi realize one thing deeply: his own weakness.
To be honest, if Zhou Jianye were a fully-fledged Level 3 ability user, it wouldn't be too difficult for him to defeat Lu Shi.
The difference is actually quite obvious.
"Next time, I absolutely cannot be this powerless again!"
"The simulated horror of a failed New Year's Eve celebration needs to be put on the agenda."
Lu Shi pondered for a moment, then tossed the time coin in his hand into the air.
The power of time within the Time Coin broke through the barrier of a day and began to wriggle at midnight on May 12th.
A new Lu Shi was replicated at this moment, and the old Lu Shi body that saved everyone remained forever on the eleventh day.
On this new day, Lu Shi, with a new body, raised his glass and smiled as he said "Cheers!"
