Stink, stench, indescribable stench.

Zhao Jiuzhou only felt that the smell was like the barbed claws of some small monster, violently drilling into his nostrils, tearing the inner wall of his nasal cavity until blood dripped, and then continued to rush into his skull, like using a spoon to gouge out a watermelon.

Turned around hard.

At a certain moment, he seemed to feel that his soul had left his body.

The whole world went blank for an instant.

But at the moment when he lost consciousness in a trance, he was immediately stimulated to wake up by the obvious pain.

It's worth a cent, and the smell...can actually cause pain in people?

This cesspool of sin...

"Why do I have to work the night shift here?" Zhao Jiuzhou couldn't help complaining.

Even though today is already his fourth day on duty and his sixth day officially joining the workforce after failing the exam, he still cannot accept this reality, both physically and psychologically.

He was supposed to be on summer vacation now, waiting to be admitted to the academy in two months!

Damn it! It’s all the fault of that unreasonable dead woman...

I have nothing to do with you! If God gave me another chance, I would rather tear up the paper that day than squat outside the examination room until she came out, and then follow her all the way...

Phew~~~Pah!

Not far away, groups of gorgeous fireworks rose and exploded suddenly.

It also interrupted Zhao Jiuzhou's dark but impossible fantasy.

He thought about it and hated it, but even if he could turn back time, he would not dare to do that to the invigilator.

He would just put down his pen obediently, and would rather get a few points less than be sentenced to zero points for violating the rules...

The sky suddenly brightened, and colorful fireworks illuminated the night sky throughout Sheji City, and also illuminated Zhao Jiuzhou's regretful face. Sheji City is the seat of the Sheji Association, and the Sheji Association is the second largest alliance in the world.

The headquarters of the "Silver Prize Alliance" is located.

The name Silver Award Alliance is actually a bit difficult to pronounce, and it is far less smooth-sounding than the world's largest alliance, the Gold Picture Alliance. However, Zhao Jiuzhou has been calling it for many years and has long been used to it, so he doesn't take it seriously.

This year is 2022 in the global Gregorian calendar.

The world's two giant alliances, which have been fighting for nearly eighty years due to certain conceptual issues, have temporarily stopped fighting because of this year's world's largest entertainment event, the "Monster Hunting World Cup", and first joined forces to cut the world's leeks.

Say it again.

As the host of the event, the Silver Award League had already arranged the location of this important match 12 years ago in the most dangerous but safest place - the land that Zhao Jiuzhou is currently stepping on.

, the so-called capital of the alliance, referred to as Sheji City of the alliance.

For this competition, the Silver Alliance has been busy for more than 12 years. Not only did they have to get all kinds of weird and weird spiritual creatures from all over the world, and raise them carefully and meticulously every day, they also had to build various structures.

A variety of supporting facilities, training of various professional talents... and the ultimate goal of all these efforts is to allow these delicious and delicious monsters to die happily in the next month.

In the hands of master demon hunters from more than 200 alliances.

See who can kill more, faster, fiercer and handsomer.

Therefore, in the eyes of a loser like Zhao Jiuzhou who can neither kill monsters nor afford tickets, this kind of competition is of course extremely boring.

It’s a waste of time and money!

He thought bitterly in his heart, so he added: "Damn it, how could this world be like this? Why can those idiots have sex in the hotel while watching idiot games, but I want to make sure that they can have sex in the hotel with peace of mind

, use my precious youth to stay up all night and stand guard here to protect their safety?"

"Is that what you think?" The middle-aged temporary worker who was on duty with Zhao Jiuzhou couldn't help but speak.

Fireworks are fleeting.

In the corner of this huge city, the two of them breathed carefully and spoke quietly beside the cesspit that fell into darkness again.

"Do you think you protected them?"

Wei Mianzi, a middle-aged temporary worker, asked in a tone that sounded like he had been working for twenty years and had seen through all the truth in the world.

This condescending tone of educating young people made Zhao Jiuzhou feel very unhappy.

Classmate Xiao Zhao immediately asked angrily: "Isn't it?"

"Of course not." Wei Mianzi said very rationally, "First of all, you don't have the strength to protect them at all. If something really happens, the two of us can only blow the whistle and then be killed by the monster, and help them buy a second to pull out the carrots.

time. Some people may even rely on the fact that they have many people, guns and cannons, and they are too lazy to pull out carrots. If they shoot outside and cannon inside, they may be more excited. Secondly, the reason why the two of us can get it today

This opportunity to get overtime pay for working the night shift is thanks to the support of these people. It is these rich people who can have sex in the hotel while watching the demon hunters killing monsters. Only those of us who have the opportunity to work. You

Do you think such an opportunity is easy to obtain? Do you know how many people in this world who want to work such a night shift have not yet had the opportunity? You and I are also demon hunters after all..."

"Stop it." Zhao Jiuzhou finally couldn't help it anymore. He was really wondering why Wei Mianzi could say so many words in one breath amidst the stench of feces, but that's not the point. He pinched his nose and interrupted, "So we

Do you have to kneel down to thank them?"

"Otherwise?" Wei Mianzi seemed to take a deep breath.

Zhao Jiuzhou was shocked, this guy could actually take a deep breath in this environment?!

"Then should I kowtow to them?"

"Are you worthy?" Wei Mianzi sneered disdainfully in the darkness, as if he was one of those rich people.

"Fuck..." Zhao Jiuzhou could only take what Wei Mianzi said and return it to him, "We are also demon hunters after all."

"Hehehe..." In the darkness, someone suddenly made an undisguised laugh.

The sound of footsteps approached.

Several beams of bright light shone directly on the faces of Zhao Jiuzhou and Wei Mianzi.

Tonight, the leader of the third team of the Sheji Hui Heishan Heishan Heishan Heishuling Branch City Defense Department Night Shift, Zhu Dachang, an inner disciple of the Blackhuling Branch helmsman, left Zhao Jiuzhou and Wei Mianzi with seven or eight of his subordinates.

Standing far away, he hit Zhao Jiuzhou's face with the flashlight first: "You are so happy to brag about your awesomeness! Bronze one star, this demon hunter, are you wronged to guard the cesspool here?"

"No... no, no! Not at all!" Zhao Jiuzhou quickly glanced over and blocked the light with his hands.

Zhu Dachang turned and pointed the flashlight at Wei Mianzi again, "What about you! Two silver stars?"

Wei Mianzi closed his mouth very experiencedly, lowered his head, did not answer the words at all, and did not make eye contact with the other party.

"Humph! Are you still chatting?" Zhu Dachang said, "It is your blessing to arrange for you to be on duty here! If I hear you forcing yourself to do anything again, I will tell you to get out!"

"Yes, yes, we must strictly abide by discipline! Captain Zhu, walk slowly..." Zhao Jiuzhou smiled with a smile on his face.

Zhu Dachang snorted coldly again, "Let's go!"

Seven or eight people walked away again with a clatter.

The light and footsteps are getting farther and farther away.

Wei Mianzi finally breathed a sigh of relief.

But now, the two of them really didn't dare to say anything anymore.

Zhao Jiuzhou was even a little assimilated by Wei Mianzi, and felt that he had gone too far.

His identity as a temporary employee of Black Tiger Ridge's helmsmanship apprenticeship was something that the school managed to win for him. Fortunately, his psychic test data were quite acceptable, and he belonged to the group of psychics who account for about one-tenth of the total human population.

So that he can have a chance to get this job, otherwise, he will have no choice but to "start his own business".

But idiots also know that if a person has no money in his pocket and no money in his family, the only way to start his own business is to sell himself. But how could Zhao Jiuzhou, a failed student in school, do such a despicable thing?

matter.

So of course he chose to be an upright temporary worker.

Just like Wei Mianzi, even if he has been working for twenty years, he still has something to eat, right?

Thanks to Silver Award Alliance for its superior social insurance system...

As a poor orphan, he finally did not starve to death.

And speaking of tonight's job, from a probability perspective, it is indeed a good job in a certain sense.

Although the probability of spiritual creatures appearing in a big city like Sheji City is very low, low does not mean that there is no possibility. If they do encounter it, according to the dual rules of the alliance and the sect, as long as they can

If you survive, you will be able to accumulate a very valuable military merit. With this military merit, even if you cannot become a full-time employee, you will definitely not be able to get away with a bonus at the end of the month.

And if they can not only survive, but also survive with injuries...

"If we were injured, we would definitely become regular members, right?" Zhao Jiuzhou held it in for a while, then couldn't help it anymore.

Wei Mianzi was a bit like a frightened bird, but maybe he had just talked too much and was weakened by the poisonous gas attack from the cesspit. He was quiet for a while and then slowly answered: "It's impossible. If a monster takes action, there will be no chance of survival."

Zhao Jiuzhou pouted, dissatisfied with Wei Mianzi's pessimism.

Unlike him, he not only wants to escape alive in the hands of monsters, Zhao Jiuzhou even hopes that a certain legend will become a reality - it is said that in a corner of the Silver Award Alliance, one day, a monster will spawn and drop

A piece of psychic crystal core is dropped. The crystal core contains power that can make a person invincible...

I don’t know when this legend originated, but anyway, it seems that there are similar sayings all over the world.

In the past, Zhao Jiuzhou had always wondered whether this was a white lie concocted by some people to deceive them and give them a little hope for life, just like the nonsense that "a magician can cure all monsters". But now

, when he lost the opportunity to sit in an office and became a part-time worker, he really hoped that this legend was true.
To be continued...
