Why, she also... entered the card pool?

Chapter 30 I want you to help me check something out.

As the sun set, Lin Yuxia, with an indifferent expression, returned home.

An old man with a cane was standing in the courtyard and waved to her: "My dear daughter, did you encounter anything happy today? Tell me and let me be happy together!"

She obviously still had the same expression as usual, but I don't know how the old man could tell the difference. Maybe she was the wise daughter Mo Ruofu.

"It's just that nothing interesting happened... Isn't he also the person you arranged?" But Lin Yuxia's reaction was so quick, her brows suddenly furrowed.

To be honest, she had a very good impression of Qin Xiaolang.

Even if she deliberately hides her identity, Lin Yuxia is still a young lady who can easily rely on her reputation to make a living, so there are many guys around her who are dedicated to catering to her, who drop their books and grab articles at every turn.

This kind of deliberately pleasing behavior will reveal its flaws after a little testing. She especially likes to deliberately name a few temporarily made-up works of authors, and then listen to the comments of those people on these works.

In Qin Xiaolang's eyes, although he also admired her appearance, he did not pretend to understand just to save face. Instead, he confessed that he had never heard of those people and works.

Against the backdrop of a group of losers, his attitude seemed particularly sincere, and he indeed looked like a not-so-experienced literary lover. It was a pleasure to chat with him about these topics after work.

What's more important is that Qin Xiaolang's working ability is extremely good, and he is as familiar with the entire drainage system as his own home. Originally, Lin Yuxia was still having a headache with various conflicting drawings, but with his help, she quickly straightened things out. .

The construction period that might have originally taken more than two months, and most of the time had to be spent surveying the terrain and redrawing the map, can now be shortened to about one month.

Even though Shi Huaiya called it a pink-haired sewer creature, no one would like to stay in such a harsh environment except for the demands of work and life, let alone her as a girl.

All in all, the two of them got along very happily throughout the day.

But if this person was really arranged by his father in advance, and did all this in a targeted manner after knowing her identity... then it can only be said that Qin Xiaolang's acting skills are really terrible, and he can easily deceive her.

Why, are you going to take this opportunity to teach me a lesson again, telling me not to trust anyone who deliberately approaches me?Lin Yuxia stared at her old father, as if she wanted to see through him.

"Yuxia, you misunderstood. How could dad do such an outrageous thing..." The old father waved his hand quickly, but obviously he was not convincing enough.

In order for her to gain the ability to take charge of the slums as soon as possible, this person has really done a lot of similar things.

In fact, as early as when she was a student, the students around her called her "Miss Lin" respectfully instead of calling her by her nickname as they did in the past. After that, she became aware of her future life.

Is it possible to be like the heroine in that kind of vulgar TV series, shouting "I want to decide my own future", enjoying all the conveniences brought by the "Rat King's Daughter" with peace of mind, while evading the corresponding responsibilities?

No matter how sensible she is, Lin Yuxia is still a girl in her prime. She will inevitably get a little emotional when faced with her father's actions. And unlike ordinary girls who slam doors and smash things, she will use more effective methods to make her father uncomfortable. .

"Mom, I found Dad's private room..." Lin Yuxia suddenly raised her voice, pretending to go to the house to complain.

Either I can endure it and not make a move, or if I make a move, it will be a decisive move that will establish the world. This is what you taught me.

"Don't, don't, don't... Although it was indeed a deliberate arrangement, that young man didn't know your identity beforehand!" The old father grabbed his daughter, glanced at the room with fear and saw that there was no movement, and then hurriedly took her away. Go to the side and explain.

After briefly telling Lin Yuxia about the conversation with Uncle Dong, the old father took out Qin Xiaolang's resume and temporarily gained his daughter's trust.

"This time, I will not interfere with any of your decisions. You can investigate him in your own way." He nodded towards Lin Yuxia, his eyes full of love, "Of course, if you think he can really help you , you have to figure out how to make him willingly work for you."

Lin Yuxia carefully checked the file, quickly analyzed the situation, and recalled the situation with Qin Xiaolang. After confirming that these were the truth, she finally let go of her old father's small treasury.

Wait, Uncle Dong recommended joining the Guards Bureau. He once worked as an in-house clerk, and just a few days ago he became the exclusive assistant of Shi Huaiya...Have I seen the first half of this resume somewhere?

------------------------------

One afternoon a few days later, because it was Friday, Qin Xiaolang changed into casual clothes and prepared to ask Xing Xiong out for a drink as usual. However, he did not expect to see Lin Yuxia as soon as he came out of the locker room.

"Mr. Qin, can I ask you for a favor in private?" She hesitated and finally said.

"Ah? Just say it, as long as it's not a loan, we can discuss it." Qin Xiaolang stopped, looked at the little mouse's favorability score that had reached 8 points, and smiled and made a joke.

"I would like to ask you to help me find a book." Lin Yuxia smiled slightly, her expression relaxed a lot.

[Invitation mission: Break through the iron shoes

Even Lin Yuxia, who is destined to control the underground order of Longmen, still has small troubles that she is ashamed to talk about, and it is inconvenient to use the forces under her control. If you can help her solve these small things, Miss Lin will definitely become more and more favored by you.

Mission reward: Lin Yuxia's favorability +5, the characteristic of knowledgeable and strong knowledge is upgraded to photographic memory, and the Origin Stone skill is upgraded from ordinary to standard]

In the previous invitation mission of Shi Huaiya, the adaptability of Origin Stone skills was slightly improved, but this time the improvement should have reached the critical value, and the evaluation can finally be raised to the standard.

You know, relying on the guidance of Chen and Xingxiong, plus the daily BUFF cards, he is sure to upgrade all attributes to "standard" next month. The most talented battlefield mobility attribute can even be upgraded to "excellent" Attack.

The adaptability of Origin Stone skills is a fixed attribute that cannot be improved no matter how hard you practice.

It determines the upper limit of an individual's Origin Stone skills. No matter how many books he studies and obtains the "Permission to Use the Spell Unit", he cannot exceed this upper limit. In addition, his ability is to emit light, so he has no regard for Origin Stone skills. Not very interested.

What if after upgrading, the small light bulb can become a flare?

"Then you have found the right person. Some time ago, I was helping a friend find ancient comics. I wonder what kind of book Miss Lin is looking for?" Seeing that even the invitation task was triggered, Qin Xiaolang immediately said to himself, "I'm sorry, Sister Gui." Ask Lin Yuxia about the specific requirements.

In his opinion, this young lady might be looking for some out-of-print collection of poems and novels, and that was a hit in his hand. He could just ask the flea market to help pay more attention to it.

"Introduction to Close Combat, published by Longmen Seal Publishing House in 1086, has the words "top student" written on the title page. Unexpectedly, Lin Yuxia's expression was a little awkward, and she pondered for a long time before whispering.

"what?!"

Chapter 31 I'm looking for myself

"Sorry, I didn't make it clear. I still have some clues about the whereabouts of this book." Lin Yuxia thought Qin Xiaolang thought it was too difficult, so she showed such an expression and quickly took out a list.

After all, if you want to find a specific mass-printed book within the entire Longmen, even the gods will not be able to do it.

"Okay, let me take the liberty of asking, is this book important to you?" Qin Xiaolang came back to his senses, took the note and asked cautiously.

"Yes, that book was given by a friend of mine. It has an unusual meaning to me, so I must get it back." Lin Yuxia nodded and said vaguely.

The old book, which was regarded as a diary and filled with the girl's thoughts, was accidentally disposed of as scrap by her father's old subordinates. Now there is another book that cannot be found, which she really can't say.

After talking to her old father that night, she was surprised to find that Qin Xiaolang was one of the customers who visited the thrift store, and he was also the first one to be excluded by Lin Yuxia.

Naturally, an office worker in the Guards Bureau cannot be illiterate. Even if he wants to study, he must look for materials for professional qualification certificate exams such as accounting and auditing. He probably won't even glance at those middle and high school textbooks and combat training books.

Boss Liu was also ripped off by his rival Lao Huang because Xing Xiong bought comics. However, Qin Xiaolang, in order to stand up for her, recorded the fact that Qin Xiaolang bought tutoring materials as buying comics, and accidentally proved it for him.

Although I don’t know how an ordinary back-officer at that time suddenly became Shi Huaiya’s exclusive assistant, which caused her to not connect the two identities together at the first time, but in any case, he should not have touched those books.

The resume provided by the Rat King clearly states that he has strong reasoning and investigative abilities, including a fraud case and a kidnapping case. Her colleagues during this period also made her feel this ability. Qin Xiaolang can always find out Hidden passage.

Why not let him help find the last book.

It just so happened that Qin Xiaolang was not particularly familiar with her now, and Shi Huaiya would not spread the word about her childhood events everywhere. Even if she glanced at the contents of the book out of curiosity, she would never be able to deduce any useful information.

"Of course, I won't let your work go in vain. If you can find that book, I can give you 5 Longmen coins." Lin Yuxia continued, "At the same time, I also have some connections in my family that can allow you to transfer from the Guards Bureau. Go to government departments."

For normal people, compared with the civil service of the Guards Bureau, the latter is definitely more popular. Not to mention that the internal service of the Guards Bureau can only be a supervisor at most. It is completely incomparable with the future development of the government. The salary is also worse than that of the former. A big chunk.

Even if you want to mess around, you have to find a more comfortable place.

Lin Yuxia deliberately concealed some details of the book. In addition to the fact that the contents were a bit difficult to describe, she also wanted to test whether Qin Xiaolang would create a fake book to fool her for the sake of her future and money.

After all, she was not sure about the whereabouts of the last book. After half a month of searching, more than half of the people on the list had been screened out, but no clues were found. Even if it was burned as waste paper, it was not impossible. .

So let's just regard this matter as a simple test for him.

Lin Yuxia was very satisfied with the decision she made, and her little tail was raised.

Little did he know that Qin Xiaolang, who was directly opposite him, was already breaking out in a cold sweat.

Is there a possibility that the friend you are talking about is yourself!

During chatting in her spare time, Lin Yuxia accidentally said that her academic performance was very good and she had always been No. 1 in the class. In addition, she also liked reading. According to the students' habit of giving nicknames based on their characteristics, most of them were nerds, nerds, etc. Top student, good girl, whatever.

In other words...a top student.

Shi Huaiya also said that day that the two of them were very good friends when they were in school, but they became estranged because of certain things. So considering her family background, the name of a rich girl will definitely not escape her.

[The rich girl lied to me. She clearly promised to go to Longmen No. [-] Middle School together, but she secretly went to Victoria Dunyi Girls' School. What a disgusting liar, but I really miss her. 】

Combined with this sentence that he happened to see when he was looking through the textbooks of top students, he even deduced the reason why Shi Huaiya didn't want to see Lin Yuxia.

Hiss, I can’t recall it anymore!

He took a breath, and for the first time, he felt that the strong knowledge characteristic was a negative gain. This kind of adolescent past among girls simply means that the more they know, the more dangerous it is.

Fortunately, judging from Lin Yuxia's appearance, those textbooks that were completely used to record the dark history were successfully taken back, and now all that is left is the introductory fighting book with not much information.

There isn't much news, but it is there.

In the explanation of the nerves and vital organs of the head, it was mentioned that once a girl with facial paralysis stepped on the tail of a rich girl, and the two ended up fighting and pulling each other's hair, and they did not separate until their parents came...

This is definitely the easiest invitation task he has received to complete. After all, the book Lin Yuxia mentioned is placed safely on the bookshelf in his dormitory. He can finish it immediately as long as he takes it and hands it to her.

But this is definitely the most dangerous invitation mission he has ever received. Once the girl opposite knows that this book has always been in his hands and has been read over and over again countless times... the other party will be embarrassed and annoyed. He didn't dare to think about what he would do next.

Ordinary girls will at most punch you in the chest, scold you for being cute, and at worst they will never talk to you again. Maybe you can be a little more evil and use these messages to get a handle on the other person's thoughts, and the plot will turn into the East Kingdom. That’s the part where netizens are ecstatic.

But this is the daughter of the Rat King. Holding her dark history is no different from holding a box of Originium bombs. There are many gang members in the slums who disappear unruly every year. It is easy to follow Qin Xiaolang's example.

No, Lin Yuxia, who had at least practiced for more than five years more than him, could easily pin him to the ground and rub him with the skills written in the fighting introduction book without even having to do anything.

Maybe if this matter gets out, he wants to kill not only Lin Yuxia, but also the two people who constantly quarrel in the office.

After thinking about it, the easiest way was to go back and burn the book of disasters, then pretend to investigate according to the list, and tell Lin Yuxia that nothing was gained.

But this is still a worry for the eldest lady. There is no guarantee that she will find someone else to investigate someday. If some famous detective really investigates him, the result will be disastrous.

It would be better to take advantage of the fact that there is a mole to find the mole, and there is still a lot of room for maneuver, and quickly find a way to end the matter.

What's more, he couldn't bear to give up the reward given by the invitation mission.

Therefore, how to hand over the fighting introduction book to Lin Yuxia without arousing her suspicion became the biggest problem faced by Qin Xiaolang at this time.

He looked at the list in his hand and suddenly had an idea.

Chapter 32 Simple pulling and moving

Sunday afternoon, outside a cafe in the outer ring.

The pink-haired Zarak girl was sitting under the awning, but her mind was not on the open book at all. From time to time she would look up and look around, like a little girl in love waiting for her boyfriend to go on an appointment.

"Ms. Lin, I found the thing."

Just eight simple words on the mobile phone text message made her become like this.

Not long after, Qin Xiaolang squeezed out of the bus and jogged to Lin Yuxia.

"Wait a minute, Miss Lin, look at this..." As soon as he took out the book from his backpack, he saw a black shadow passing by, and the "Introduction to Close Combat" was already in Lin Yuxia's hands.

"Thank you so much. I didn't have any expectations at all, but I didn't expect you to find it in only a day and a half!" Although the smell was a bit unpleasant, I casually opened a few pages and saw the very familiar handwriting. She confirmed the authenticity of the book.

However, Qin Xiaolang's speed was really too fast. Lin Yuxia had been searching for more than half a month without finding anything, but he found this book only one day later, so he would inevitably think more about it.

In particular, Qin Xiaolang also visited that thrift store. At that time, he heard Lao Liu say that he had been browsing among the books for a long time. What if... what if he really got this book and saw that he had paid such a high price? I decided to take out the reward.

Maybe he just bought it and put it away in the past, but after learning about the importance of this book to Lin Yuxia, there was no guarantee that he wouldn't open it and read it a few times driven by curiosity.

Don't hesitate to judge human nature with the greatest malice, and only by being careful can you sail the ship of ten thousand years. This is what her old father often taught her.

"Actually, it's thanks to your previous efforts that you eliminated so many wrong options, otherwise it would never have been so smooth." Qin Xiaolang, who had been prepared for a long time, acted unusually calm and quickly changed the topic:

"I know you were too anxious at the time to offer me those conditions. Anyway, it didn't take much effort, so there's no need for payment or anything like that."

Tips on fighting the road to gain the advantage first.

It's like being interrogated by your girlfriend when you come home late from fooling around. Instead of racking your brains to respond to the interrogation and eventually discovering the flaw, you should take the initiative to attack before she opens her mouth and ask her who the opposite sex likes in her friend circle are. .

"Sorry, that's not what I meant... Please don't worry. Although my family is not very rich, my father also taught me the principle of trustlessness and trust. I will definitely do what I promise others." Sure enough, Lin Yuxia was successfully captured. He took the lead and explained in a serious tone.

Let’s not say it out loud first. The most important thing is to keep your word. If the future slum rulers break their promises, who will follow the rules she set in the future? The main reason is that she also feels that this idea is too unfounded and cannot withstand scrutiny at all.

First of all, the nature of Qin Xiaolang's work was there, and he didn't need to fight, so he had no motivation to buy this book.

Secondly, based on his current position, it is impossible to know Lin Yuxia's identity. At most, through Shi Huaiya's reminder and contact during this period, he can infer that her family is somewhat powerful.

And just relying on this kind of ambiguous information, even if you read a few pages, you can't understand the dark history recorded in the book.

"It really didn't take much effort. I just did some simple reasoning and tried my luck." Seeing this, Qin Xiaolang took the initiative to talk about his process of "looking for" this book:

"Your list has excluded customers who bought books. You only bought other groceries and haven't checked them yet. So I was wondering if it might be caught in some large goods and brought back by unsuspecting customers. Make a home."

"Following this idea, I quickly found an aquatic product store. They had bought a batch of detachable shelves, so I pretended to be a part-time job worker and sneaked in. Finally, I found this book in a wooden sandwich. .”

"Just explain your intention to the boss directly, why bother?" Lin Yuxia finally understood where the smell in the book came from. She looked at the dusty Qin Xiaolang and couldn't help but ask.

"You said that book is very important to you, and the remuneration is so high. It must have recorded a lot of private things. I thought it would be better not to attract other people's attention." Qin Xiaolang waved his hand nonchalantly and said with a He said with a tone of concern for Lin Yuxia.

If you ask questions openly, and then the boss takes you in to look for things, secretly hiding the book in a corner and pretending to find it is a bit difficult, it is better to do everything in secret, highlighting the fact that it cannot be verified.
