Great, I'm surrounded by villains.

How much energy does an intern need to become a full-time employee?

How much life energy would be required to obtain a junior or even senior professional title?

The answers to all these questions are hidden in this girl with clear eyes and a head full of question marks.

Small theater one:

Sunday, afternoon

Duan Mingyuan is a terrible devil, and in the minds of the evil spirits in Yunlong City, he is like an ogre. If he were to be divided into levels, he would at least be a chieftain-level figure.

On this day, the evil spirits once again held a meeting on the topic of "How to anger the devil".

They generally believe that under normal circumstances, the devil is invincible, and only by making him emotionally insane or mentally disturbed can they find an opportunity to take advantage of him.

But the devil's emotions are so stable that no evil spirit has ever seen the devil angry.

To this end, they specially invited Ms. Ye Huo, the "Executive Director of the Evil Organization".

It is said that this lady is a real tough character who has achieved her current status step by step through the battle with the devil. It is not an exaggeration to describe her as a hero among evil spirits.

"You want to irritate him?"

After hearing the request from the evil spirit, Ms. Night Fate thought for a moment and said, "That's easy."

She went back to the lounge and when she appeared in the evil spirit's sight again, she had changed into light clothes. She had one black and one white stocking on her legs, with the black one hanging down to her ankles. There were several leaves stuck in her furry tail, and a dead leaf was stuck between the two pointed ears on top of her head.

A moment later, the evil spirits who had followed Ms. Nightsbane all the way home finally witnessed the devil's angry look.

"September!"

"To!"

"How many times have I told you to wear your socks properly?"

Chapter 25 Industry needs reform

Duan Mingyuan had long realized that his experience was not applicable to the general public. If newcomers to the industry used him as a reference, they would undoubtedly lose their lives in vain in their first action.

Because to him, there is not much difference between the evil spirits of an intern and a senior professional. So far, he has never met an opponent who could make him sweat profusely, so he cannot make a detailed division of each rating.

And this heavy burden naturally fell on Tang Qianqian's shoulders.

The clearer the vision, the better. Duan Mingyuan firmly believes that in the near future this girl's "glorious deeds" will become a source of inspiration for countless people.

If even Tang Qianqian can handle things on her own, why should you be worse than someone who has four negative entries and can print out Shiba Inu emoticons into a report and hand it over to the section chief?

"First of all, the meter shows that your current energy is 1 point. You are currently at the 'intern' stage, so the only evil spirits you can deal with are at this level. In this line of work, the most important thing is to have a clear self-awareness. Once you realize that your opponent is beyond your ability, your first choice is always to evacuate."

Duan Mingyuan felt like he was back to the time when he was supervising interns, an area in which he had rich experience.

The lesson he learned from this was that you should never impose what you consider to be common sense on interns, and you must explain everything to them in detail, otherwise their creative operations will give you a fatal blow in unexpected places.

To put it simply, it means that if you encounter someone you can't beat, just run away.

This is a truth that even a three-year-old child can understand, but recent events have forced Duan Mingyuan to suspect that the members of the organization may be inferior to three-year-old children in some aspects.

The investigation into the night disaster was undoubtedly tragic.

Many people with lofty ideals in the organization sacrificed their young and precious lives in order to find out the true identity of the Night Disaster.

But if we look at this issue from another angle...

The first group of members who tracked down the Night Hazard died, bringing back the news that the pursuit could lead to bad luck and even death.

After hearing this, the second group of members went there happily. As expected, they were wiped out. They used their own lives to confirm that the message left by the first group of members was true.

The third team used vehicles to gain important intelligence that was useless even if they hid in a car.

Then it was Mr. Oe's turn. Hearing that Yehuo might have come to Yunlong City, he, as the liaison officer of Yunlong City, took the lead and set an example for other members by dying at the hands of Yehuo first.

You guys can’t even give away the Calabash Brothers!

The above is Duan Mingyuan’s opinion on this matter. No wonder there are fewer and fewer people in this industry and it is becoming increasingly sluggish.

! “Ensuring your own safety should be your top priority no matter where you are or when you are.”

Duan Mingyuan once again emphasized the importance of escape. He did not appreciate this meaningless act of giving away one's life.

If there is anything in this industry that needs to be reformed the most, it is the practice of exchanging intelligence by piling up people. Under such a practice, new members who have just entered the industry become consumables.

Duan Mingyuan never thought so.

When measuring a person's talent, we must look at it from multiple perspectives. Some people may just not be good at fighting evil spirits, but if they change their positions, they may become an excellent intelligence analyst, an excellent logistics staff, or even a psychological counselor, as well as a mentor who helps newcomers quickly understand the industry.

Even Tang Qianqian may become a pioneer who inspires countless people in the future.

But once you die, your value as a person will be forever stopped there, and there will be no possibility of a future.

"Remember, Tang Qianqian, only living people can create value. If you ruin your life for some stupid reasons, I will not respect you, nor will I mourn for you."

This was the third time Duan Mingyuan emphasized the importance of this matter, and it was also the most familiar way of getting along between him and Tang Qianqian.

Because he knew very well that if you didn't emphasize something to Tang Qianqian three times, she would forget it and show it to you.

Mistakes at work can be corrected, but there is no second chance in life.

"I understand, senior!"

Tang Qianqian nodded seriously.

"Then, please listen to the question."

"Eh?"

"Tonight, Xiao Ming found himself being followed by an evil spirit on his way home. The evil spirit followed him all the way to the subway and seemed to be waiting for him to be alone. If you were Xiao Ming, what would you do?"

"Ah? Uh..."

This question came too suddenly, but Tang Qianqian only thought for a while and gave an answer, "Get off at the busiest commercial center subway station halfway, find a restaurant with the largest flow of people, go in, and then call the senior."

She just wants to live a life of idleness and wait for death, she is not really stupid.

From the beginning, she had no intention of giving up her own interests for the future of the industry.

There is a future only if you are alive, and even if the industry has no future, she can still change careers.

"correct answer."

Duan Mingyuan nodded with satisfaction. This was exactly the answer he had in mind.

"senior……"

Tang Qianqian thought of something.

This notebook is filled with densely packed records of evil spirits, and can be called an encyclopedia in the industry, but Miss September said that all the knowledge in it was recorded by the predecessors on their own.

She suddenly understood why the senior had repeatedly emphasized to her the importance of escape in such a serious manner. This must be a lesson learned by example. If the senior had not chosen to escape at the beginning, but faced the enemy head-on like a passionate young man, perhaps this extremely important encyclopedia would not have been published, and all the information would have stopped at the first evil spirit the senior encountered.

And then, just as the ending mentioned in the notebook, he would forever become a member of the missing population, with a missing person notice posted on a telephone pole.

"This must be what you say from the bottom of your heart after dealing with so many evil spirits."

Duan Mingyuan was stunned, and his eyes swept across the familiar records in the notebook.

Memories of high school came flooding back.

"Yes."

After a long pause, Duan Mingyuan nodded, "Nothing is more convincing than this notebook. Evil spirits are different from humans. Regardless of whether they are intelligent or not, once they identify a target, they will never retreat. They will follow you to the ends of the earth until the moment you die."

"Eh? Then, Senior, you are..."

This time it was Tang Qianqian's turn to be stunned. Why was the senior's answer a little different from what she expected?

She thought the other party would give her some specific escape strategies.

"This is a negative example, which illustrates the harm of being stubborn."

Duan Mingyuan's tone was full of regret. "If they had understood the importance of flexibility and retreat at that time, they would not have been recorded in this way."

Thank you to the love warrior Wilde for being the leader!!

Chapter 26: Hmm, Red-Eyed Demon

Now Tang Qianqian understood.

The situation now is no different from when she was working. As long as she follows the footsteps of her predecessors, she can get the most out of them. After being in the company for so long, the only thing she is good at is the skill of currying favor with others.

"Senior, I just have one question."

"You said."

“Is there anything like a learning device in this industry?”

Pokémon fans all know that the best way to train the weak Pokémon in the team is not to specifically look for wild Pokémon of the same level to engage in equal battles, but to make good use of learning devices or feed them experience candies.

If she used the Pokémon world as an analogy, she felt that the senior was at least a powerful character with a race stat of over 600, and most likely already at the maximum level.

"No."

Duan Mingyuan ruthlessly shattered Tang Qianqian's unrealistic fantasy. He actually wished there were learning devices in the world so that he wouldn't have to risk high blood pressure to supervise interns.

"The first step in entering the industry is to know how to deal with evil spirits who are at the same level as you as an intern."

As both are at the internship stage, the two sides should be considered equally matched opponents.

September's pointed ears twitched.

After listening for so long, it’s finally her turn to appear!

Oh, no, it wasn’t her who appeared, but the intern she most favored in this session!

Tang Qianqian doesn't look like someone who would study theoretical basics well. Compared to wasting time sitting at an outdoor dining table, actual practice is the best teacher.

The corners of her mouth rose slightly. Although she respected Mr. Ming Yuan from the bottom of her heart, she did not think that she was inferior to him in the identity of "Pokémon Trainer".

"There are many kinds of evil spirits in the internship period, among which..."

Duan Mingyuan's explanation came to an abrupt halt. A familiar and pure malice locked onto them. He turned his head and looked at the source of the pure malice. A thin figure was standing across the street. Her hair was as dry as straw, and her bangs covered her right eye. Her scarlet left eye was staring at them intently.

Energy level, 5.

Tang Qianqian also noticed the evil presence across the street and immediately tensed up.

Her intuition was very sharp, and her sixth sense told her that the evil spirit across the street was coming for her.

Duan Mingyuan finished the introduction. "Those who maintain their human form are relatively rare. They usually do not possess powers beyond common sense, so they are perfect for training."

"Senior, didn't you say that evil spirits don't like to come out in broad daylight?"

“There will be special circumstances as well.”

At the same time, September exchanged glances with the thin figure and assigned it a task.

The key is to get to the point.

It would be best if you can win, but if you are defeated by Tang Qianqian, you must say something like “What a disgusting feeling” or “I will definitely come back”.

The thin figure raised his right hand tremblingly and pointed directly at Tang Qianqian.

"She's challenging you to a fight."

Duan Mingyuan acted as a temporary translator.

This evil spirit that suddenly appeared was very strange. Its energy was only a pitiful 5, but it seemed to have its own consciousness and was targeting Tang Qianqian from the very beginning.

This means that there may be loopholes in his intern grading theory. Even the weakest evil spirit may develop autonomous consciousness?

What's even weirder is that when they needed an intern to give a lecture, he showed up on his own initiative.

Is this kind of warm-hearted situation really just a coincidence?

"A fight? Here?"

"Accept the challenge. This is a good opportunity."

Duan Mingyuan didn't want to miss this opportunity. Instead of letting Tang Qianqian encounter the evil spirit alone and have a battle without any preparation, it would be better for him to watch from the side. Even if the latter was defeated by the evil spirit, it would not trigger death or special defeat.

"When dealing with evil spirits, remember not to show fear. The more afraid you are, the stronger they will become."
