Chapter 5: Did you break through too?

Lin Luo took out the key and opened the door, revealing two Abnormalities clinking glasses.

On the wooden table, two opened red wine bottles were placed, along with three appetizing dishes.

That is, if one ignored what the ingredients of those dishes were.

Seeing Lin Luo appear outside the door, one of the Abnormalities said in surprise, "You actually came back? I thought you were dead, after all, it's already this late."

This Abnormality's voice was very pleasant and sweet.

A delicate white dress revealed two fair and slender legs, with a pair of small, exquisite jade feet below.

Snow-white arms connected to soft, delicate hands with red nail polish.

A hint of roundness, different from the white of the dress, was supported and trembling slightly.

All of this was quite alluring, if one's gaze didn't move further upwards.

Closing the door behind him, the expressionless Lin Luo walked towards the table and said, "So, you two are having fun here at my place? Then you two can pay my electricity bill for this month.

Oh, and Si Qili, please make sure to fix yourself up top when you're at home, okay? Don't scare people.

I really can't understand how Kreed can eat facing you."

Si Qili chuckled, then said, "Lin Luo, little brother, you're not human either.

So, how do I look like this?"

She first gently stroked her face with her hand, then smiled charmingly at Lin Luo.

A small, palm-sized face, a graceful and delicate nose, and a pair of peach blossom eyes full of affection.

Her cherry lips were slightly parted, and her dark, ink-like hair was draped, forming a sharp contrast with her white dress.

But Lin Luo remained expressionless, pulled out a wooden chair, and sat down.

Seeing this, Si Qili pouted, her delicate brows furrowed.

"Lin Luo, little brother, you used to be very enthusiastic towards me~"

That's because I could get quests from you.

Lin Luo thought to himself, he had already discovered it.

As favorability increased, the difficulty of getting quests from the same Abnormality also increased.

If it were when he had just met Si Qili, there would definitely be a quest notification now.

That white slime from before was truly an exception.

Not only did it give a lot of favorability, but it was also very easy to get quests from.

Unfortunately, it got away.

On Kreed's grayish-green face, his features were normally arranged, and his head was covered in green scales.

He had four arms, which he was currently waving, and he looked at Lin Luo and said, "I say, Si Qili looked better before! Don't you have any aesthetic sense?!"

"Alright, then you make her transform back to her previous appearance, and you pay her electricity bill with yours, how about that?"

Kreed choked, crossed his four arms over his chest, and grumbled, "That can't be lumped together, those are two different things."

Lin Luo glanced at the three delicious dishes on the table, but in the end, he didn't pick up his chopsticks; he just poured himself a glass of wine.

There were three wine glasses on the table, and the dishes were untouched.

"Tell me, what are you two planning to do? It's not just a simple emotional bonding, is it?

I don't think there's such a thing as emotion between you two."

Si Qili extended her right hand, pointing her long, slender index finger, like white jade, at Kreed.

"Kreed, you tell him."

Lin Luo looked at Kreed, raising an eyebrow, "Is there anything you need my help with?"

A quest delivered to my doorstep?

"It's like this, I recently became unemployed, but a guy from my old company sought me out.

He said he could introduce me to a better job, very easy, without much effort.

I could even earn 3000 gray coins a month, much higher than my previous salary.

There's just one condition: I need to find another Plain-Class Abnormality to go with me for the interview."

Ding! Plain-Class Abnormality Phyllis Creed has issued a quest to you:

Accompany Kreed to the interview for his new job.

Quest Completion Reward: 500 gray coins, 1 Spooky Power, 20 Phyllis Creed's Favorability.

During Kreed's narration, Lin Luo listened quietly, but his gaze gradually became strange.

The strong sense of déjà vu that washed over him made Lin Luo involuntarily look at Kreed with sympathetic eyes.

And Kreed, meeting Lin Luo's gaze, saw the deep sympathy contained within it.

Kreed thought he was pitying his unemployment and felt a little touched.

In this cold world, there were truly too few warm-hearted, empathetic Abnormalities like Lin Luo!

"Lin Luo, honestly, when such a good thing came up, you were the first one I thought of!"

Well, thank you very much.

There might be many quests later, but there's only one life.

"Kreed, I'm really sorry, but I'm afraid I can't accompany you to the interview."

A hint of surprise flashed across Kreed's grayish-green face, and his four arms involuntarily waved as he murmured, "Why not? You're a Post Office mailman now, aren't you?

But you should know, official mailmen are all part of the regular staff, and you'll never become official no matter how long you work.

An intern mailman only gets about 800 gray coins a month, right?

What can that amount of gray coins even buy? It's hard to even soak in a Creepy Power Pool once!"

Lin Luo coughed lightly, and a trace of Spooky Power overflowed from his fingertips.

"It's not because of that, I accidentally broke through to Dangerous Grade.

I no longer meet your requirement for a Plain-Class Abnormality, I'm truly sorry."

"What? You also broke through to Dangerous Grade!?"

"Also"? What does "also" mean?

Lin Luo subconsciously looked at Si Qili.

Sure enough, she revealed a charming smile, resting her chin on her hand, and gently swayed her legs, causing ripples above.

"Kreed came to me first, but I also accidentally broke through to Dangerous Grade."

A hint of awkwardness appeared on Kreed's face, then turned into disappointment.

"Alright, it looks like I'll have to find other Plain-Class Abnormalities who are interested in this."

He used the act of drinking to cover up all his emotions, forcing a relaxed smile.

Lin Luo's heart stirred, and he asked curiously, "What was your previous company called again?"

I need to avoid that in the future.

"Sanleshi Company, its main business is the procurement of Creepy Power Pool raw materials; it's an old brand enterprise.

But the competition inside is fierce, and unemployed people who are about to be eliminated are constantly produced, like me."

Raw materials for the Creepy Power Pool?

Lin Luo's breath hitched, and a bad hunch flooded his mind.

He hoped his guess was wrong, but if it was true, then... then it would be too exciting!

Anyway, they were all Abnormalities here, and Lin Luo couldn't empathize with them.

Especially after witnessing how these Abnormalities treated humans.

Lin Luo deeply understood how those livestock awaiting slaughter felt.

"Ah, that's truly terrible. I wish you good luck with your new job!"

Lin Luo raised his glass to him, swirling the liquid within, and lightly clinked glasses with him.

However, he couldn't be considered a pure human now either.

【Lin Luo - Dangerous-Grade Abnormality/Human】

He could seamlessly switch identities between Abnormality and human.

If he switched to his human identity, the Spooky Power within his body would also undergo a corresponding change, transforming its nature into something called spiritual power.

When he knocked on Wei Weisi's door, he had switched to his human form, leaving human blood on the door.

And when Wei Weisi came out, he instantly switched to his Abnormality form, naturally getting two quests from that big octopus.

If Chen Xuanxuan hadn't appeared, he would have definitely given up the first quest and, after completing the second, turned and left directly.

Thanks to Chen Xuanxuan's contribution, the organization would remember his sacrifice.

Lin Luo drank the wine in his glass, letting out a satisfied sigh.
