Chapter 1039: 0636 Chaos and Confusion

"Two of you, you must be very careful of this man who smiles so wickedly!"

Watching the old man, his face full of fear, throw off the 【Memory Headscarf】 and panting heavily, a short middle-aged woman summarized with a serious expression:

"Although the three of us were arranged to provide support, you are also clear about the situation at the Virgin Branch. The danger of being their allies is no less than being their enemies.

Whether it is the 【Executioner】 who kills indiscriminately regardless of friend or foe based on the degree of evil, or the 【Dice Emperor】 who only cares about the success or failure of the mission and cannot control what happens during the process, both can cause harm to us.

And now the person we need to be extra careful of has added one more: the 【Food God】. According to the cleaners from our Tmall Branch who participated in the promotion assessment, he is even more dangerous than the 【Executioner】 and the 【Dice Emperor】!"

Indeed...

After hearing the middle-aged woman's summary, the other two branch chiefs selected to support the Virgin Branch couldn't help but look at each other, then nodded in unison.

The Executioner's ability distinguishes neither friend nor foe, so at worst we just stay far away; the Dice Emperor's ability cares only about the result, not the process, but at least the result is good. But this Food God...

We can only pray not to be targeted by the Slasher King Association.

Based on the scenes the two of us saw inside the 【Memory Headscarf】, it seems that once the situation goes wrong or falls into a disadvantage, this 【Food God】, who dares to kill the True God of Food, will go berserk and start craving his teammates' bodies in the literal sense.

"Thank you for the reminder."

After looking gratefully at the middle-aged woman from the Tmall Branch, the little old man who had just thrown off the 【Memory Headscarf】 said with some lingering fear:

"I've been a cleaner for nearly eighty years, and I've seen quite a few madmen before and after, but I've never seen anyone this crazy..."

"Yes, his mental state is too terrifying."

Hearing this, the other branch chief couldn't help but nod and couldn't resist adding:

"Compared to those madmen who write their madness on their faces, this... this 【Food God】 is terrifyingly normal. Even his image in the Dream Realm is that of a normal human.

This is too outrageous. He clearly possesses such terrifying power, yet his self-perception hasn't shifted even a bit. And what's even more terrifying is that he looks rational and clear-headed, and even quite polite.

Even when preparing to eat people, he will apologize to the person being eaten first... Hiss... No more, no more! Just thinking of him smiling at me in that memory makes me a little... a little..."

A little cold down your back, right?

After mentally finishing that sentence for him, the little old man couldn't help but sigh, secretly lamenting his terrible luck at having to carry out a mission with such a pervert.

And seeing the two of them look listless, the middle-aged woman from the Tmall Branch could only offer words of comfort:

"Actually, the situation isn't that extreme. According to the cleaners our branch referenced, although the Food God is very crazy, his strength is truly formidable. If the Slasher King Association really comes knocking on the Virgin Branch, it might actually be safer with him around.

As for when he goes berserk... once the director of the Virgin Branch is transferred to the General Bureau, the three of us branch chiefs will be the highest in rank, and he will have to take orders from us three.

As long as we prepare in advance and arrange for him to be with the people of the Virgin Branch, even if he goes crazy and wants to eat people, he won't get to us for a while."

"Right, right, right, that's a good idea!"

Hmm... Senior Emma was right, I seem to be smiling more than before...

Unaware that the three branch chiefs who came to support were already eyeing him in the rumors, Li Ang was now facing the full-length mirror at home, constantly striking various friendly smiles.

He is smiling more, and he has become handsome too.

Looking at himself in the mirror, no longer weak after replenishing his nutrition, with a complexion that has become quite healthy, and now worthy of being called handsome, Li Ang couldn't help but nod in satisfaction. He then turned his head and advised Anna, who was sitting by the table with a face flushed red with anger:

"Alright, alright, it's just homework, not worth getting so angry. Just take it slow."

"It's not... it's not just about the homework!"

Anna, who was tutoring her younger siblings, heard this and couldn't help but grit her teeth, replying angrily:

"Brother! You don't understand what's going on! They don't not know how! They just won't write properly! They insist on... they insist on... Ah!"

"..."

Although he didn't know what they insisted on, it seemed that tutoring homework was indeed a hurdle every parent must inevitably cross in their life.

"Uh... why don't you take a break?"

Looking at his sister, who was gnashing her teeth in anger, and then at the two little ones cowering under her shouting nearby, Li Ang hesitated slightly before tentatively suggesting:

"I happen to be free right now, and you've been tired all day. How about... I take over today?"

You tutor?

After hearing Li Ang's suggestion, which couldn't be called bold but only reckless, Anna fell silent for a moment. Then, driven by some small "evil thoughts," she stood up and gave up her seat.

Li Ang, who had just been smiling at the mirror for several minutes and felt surprisingly friendly, picked up Melanie's homework book with the smile he had just practiced.

The first thing that came into view was a reading comprehension exercise excerpting a religious story.

Question: With the help of the devil, Ashur obtained unimaginable wealth, but in doing so, he lost his soul. What does this tell us?

Answer: You must read the terms carefully when signing a contract.

Question: Although the merchant earned unimaginable money and became the richest person in the Monai City-State, why did he not feel happiness?

Answer: He only knows how to earn, not how to spend.

Question: The king did not gain happiness from power, the merchant did not gain happiness from wealth, but why did the little beggar with nothing, looking at the sunflowers blooming by the roadside, smile?

Answer: He must be hallucinating from hunger, or maybe it's because sunflower seeds are edible.

"..."

Okay, let's switch to another one.

Li Ang's smile remained unchanged on his face. He handed the homework back to Melanie with a peaceful expression, then sat down beside William and picked up his homework book.

Compared to Melanie's homework book, William's homework was much more advanced.

It was the same religious story reading comprehension with the same three questions. Melanie wrote only a few words for each answer, and even to make the answer space look substantial, she wrote every character as big as a thumbnail.

William's homework, however, was densely packed with tiny characters finer than rice grains. As for the answers given...

William's first question mainly discussed the military thought of "do not cooperate with people you cannot control." The second question explained how to use money to bribe votes, penetrate the military and political system of the Monai City-State, and successfully take over by borrowing a shell.

As for the third question, he wrote a fairly reliable action plan for the little beggar who was staring blankly at the sunflowers, teaching him how to start with a single bowl and try to fight for an outcome of a kingdom...

Silently closing William's homework book, Li Ang looked at his younger brother, who looked innocent and sturdy but had his head full of dragon-slaying techniques, and couldn't help but sigh softly.

How to put it... Brother's job seems to be indeed hindering your personal development a bit...
