Chapter 024 The boss must have a conspiracy to raise his salary
In order to avoid some unnecessary rumors, after leaving the club, Alvin and the three girls divided into two teams in a very tacit understanding. The three girls walked in front and chattered, while he walked slowly behind.
At this time, the two girls Ming Qianhui and Aurora were mainly holding Xue Li to discuss the matter of transferring to the club tomorrow.
Yes, these two girls are not members of the martial arts club yet, but they plan to go through the procedures for transferring to a club tomorrow.
Compared with the flower arrangement that parents require, martial arts is really much more interesting!
Because the two girls lived in the same community, but were not in the same direction as Xueli's family, Xueli reluctantly said goodbye to the two girls at the door, and then walked alone to the rail train platform not far away.
Ai Wen followed her and got into the car with Xue Li who was busy swiping his card. Then he found a corner in the crowded car, stretched out his arms to create a space, and protected Xue Li inside.
"Thank you, Alvin."
Being protected in a corner of the car, feeling someone's breath vaguely between her nose, Xue Li shrank shyly, and then thanked her in an extremely weak voice.
To be honest, her voice was a bit soft, and Alvin almost didn't hear her from such a close distance.
"It doesn't matter. Speaking of which, you rarely take this kind of public transportation in Sydney."
"Well, I took the rail train with Uncle Rand several times when I was in elementary school. This is the first time without an elder accompanying me.
During the first two days of school, including this morning, Senior Sister Qianwei drove me."
Xue Li was obviously a little embarrassed when she said this.
In fact, it stands to reason that neither Xue Li nor the other two girls are short of money at home, and they are fully capable of getting a special car to transport them.
However, in the United States, the mainstream view of society is that high school students are considered half-adults and should try to get away from the protection of their parents.
Even schools try to avoid special requirements for students in terms of food, clothing, housing and transportation.
Driven by this ideological concept, except for some top rich and powerful people who really need to consider kidnapping, or who have to pick up and drop off for other reasons, most families will try their best to let their children go home on their own.
Last but not least, parents’ cars should be parked further away and get on and off directly near the school gate. School security will really chase people away.
This is also the reason why Sydney feels embarrassed that she has never taken a rail train.
As for safety issues, although there are some unsettling factors in society, or dynamic social organizations such as the Flame Society, it is generally very safe.
The probability of malignant events targeting ordinary people is indeed low.
Of course, Xue Li's explosive looks and figure, as well as her seemingly calm and smart, but actually naive and confused character, obviously do not fall within the scope of safety.
If Aiwen, a part-time bodyguard, hadn't appeared, the owner of the hotel would have really planned to hire a full-time driver recently, otherwise it would have been too easy for something to happen.
For example, now, Ivan found that there were many office workers nearby who were constantly peeking at Sydney, and even trying to squeeze in. The desire and greed that kept escaping were almost overwhelming.
Of course, these dirty guys were knocked back by him unceremoniously.
A gangster with a skull tattooed on his body glared and tried to scare him, but Alvin grabbed his neck and pinned him down on the carriage, and slapped him twice until his face was swollen.
After that, no one without eyes would dare to come close.
Seeing the gangster staggering away from the carriage with a swollen face, Xueli, who had already put her hand into her schoolbag, breathed a sigh of relief, and then whispered to her flower protector.
"Evan, I really caused trouble for you."
Someone smiled nonchalantly.
"Yes, I promised the curator to protect you."
Facing his smile, Xue Li, who was already a little dazed by what happened, suddenly felt even more dizzy.
As if he was drunk, the whole world seemed to be spinning, and his fair and clear cheeks couldn't help but reveal a touch of pink, like a tender peach.
Shy...but very, very at ease.
At this moment, in the noisy carriage, a strange tranquility slowly flowed between the two high school students, making time seem to slow down.
In the end, Sydney was so dizzy that she couldn't even remember how she was taken out of the car by Alvin and sent to the room.
Sitting blankly in front of the dressing table, looking at herself in the mirror, she seemed to have finally woken up from sleepwalking. She subconsciously screamed and fell directly on the bed behind her, rolling around with the quilt in her arms.
Ahhhh... I feel so ashamed!
"Xueli, let's eat...eh?"
Qianwei, who was wearing an apron, pushed open the door and looked at her junior sister who was rolling on the bed and didn't even notice her arrival, and she let out a light sigh.
She is nine years older than Xue Li, just like her adoptive mother's mistress passed away early, so she is almost like the sister who raised Xue Li with her own hands.
As the saying goes, a daughter is better than a mother. As the eldest sister who is about half a mother, Qian Wei suddenly realized that her precious junior sister seemed to be in a bad state.
Was he bullied at school or on the way home from school? It doesn’t look like that...
Not only did he stuff an electric shock device into her schoolbag, but he also had that young man named Alvin accompanying him...wait a minute!
Squinting her eyes, Qian Wei suddenly felt as if she had grasped some key clues.
You know, a sixteen-year-old girl is the age when love begins...
And it’s easy to prove this.
Thinking of this, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she knocked on the door with a smile...
At this time, Ai Wen, who was eating at a noodle shop outside, did not know that he had been targeted by a sister who suspected that his sister was in love.
He spent eighteen yuan to consume three large bowls of bolognese noodles. After eating and drinking enough, he sat down to digest while thinking about whether to continue his part-time job.
The original intention of his part-time job was pure, mainly to make money and improve his life. But now that he has more than 10 million in his account, he seems to have no need to continue working.
However, the current situation is a bit embarrassing.
His bond with the White Crane Gym seems to be mainly maintained in the name of part-time work. In his opinion, no matter what the Mufeng Gym Leader thinks or how he appreciates his talent, the "half of us" who signed the contract
, is actually the basis of everything.
Once he is no longer "one of our own" but becomes a paid student who spends money, the originally harmonious relationship seems to have deteriorated, and daily interactions will become awkward.
Actually speaking, Mu Feng accepting him as his disciple is the best solution.
Ai Wen does not object to becoming the other party’s disciple at all and will fulfill the obligations of a disciple in the future.
It's a pity that the owner of the museum has not shown such intention so far. Instead, he keeps placing favors on his daughter, which makes him a little unsure of the other party's thoughts.
Could it be that he wanted to bring himself and Xue Li together?
It's a bit like it, but Alvin is afraid that this is just his own sentimentality.
"Forget it, let's maintain the status quo for now. Anyway, we can study at Alda's place, and we won't miss an hour of work."
After making a decision, Alvin stretched himself, walked out of the noodle shop, and found a deserted alley to travel to the Alda plane.
He planned to practice spear throwing.
In any case, this is also an ability. If you practice more, you may be able to use it one day.
Compared with the relatively "explicit" additional effects of the ordinary soldier skill [Troll Regeneration], the difficulty of in-depth development of the two heroic skills [Night Hunter] and [Death Coil] has skyrocketed.
Ivan guessed that [Night Hunter] should be used to deal with some of the Night Stalker's talents and powers, such as the occasional induction of other people's negative emotions that has appeared so far.
However, so far, the results of further development are very limited.
He can only add more dark power to the weapon, thereby forming an additional effect similar to "magic damage", and allowing the attack to touch incorporeal existences such as shadows.
The development progress of [Death Coil] is also about the same.
It just has the ability to slightly manipulate the power of death, or turn the power of death into a black-purple energy chain with a length of about ten meters, and pull the distant target over.
Well, this move was decisively named [Death Grip] by Ivan.
However, compared to the expected extent of the power of the Death Knight, this simple development is obviously not enough.
"I always feel like something is missing, like there's a layer of paper between them..."
With a casual move [Death Grip], he pulled a piece of gravel, and then split it in half with the rune sword. Ai Wen lowered his head, stared at his palm with two distinct powers of black and green, and frowned slowly.
With just a little chance, he seemed to be able to further develop some of the more essential things hidden in these two forces, but he just couldn't grasp the elusive inspiration.
"No, I still can't find the feeling."
With a helpless sigh, Alvin temporarily gave up today's exploration of his own strength, turned around and returned to a house that had been cleared out as his temporary residence on the outskirts of the ruins, and then took out his homework.
There wasn't a lot of homework at the beginning of his freshman year of high school, and he finished all the test papers in about an hour.
After reading the newspaper for a while and relaxing his brain, Alvin returned to the main world and continued his martial arts studies at Baihe Gym...
Um, maybe we need to add part-time work?
By the way, because he accidentally mentioned the encounter with gangsters in the carriage while chatting, the owner of Mufeng Hall laughed and gave up the task of accompanying Xue Li to school in the morning.
The good news is that Alvin, who was confused at the time, got a salary increase and earned an extra three hundred yuan a week, which was really gratifying...
