Chapter 878: No. 1: You came at just the right time

No. 1: You came at just the right time.

The first half of October was a relatively calm period.

Although it had a Mid‑Autumn Festival slotted in between it and the short‑distance horse girl derby, and the beginning even featured a holiday evolved from National Day, the East Yan top‑trend holiday, those two were ultimately East Yan‑specific holidays.

Although Aomo grew up under the East Yan school atmosphere since elementary school, causing his lifestyle and thinking to be deeply influenced by East Yan culture, it's unfortunate.

His job position is of the Jidong style.

Our horse girl school already has its own arrangements; flexible holidays are scheduled alongside official competitions, yet the Mid‑Autumn and National Day holidays still want time off?!

What country! Now everything's been regionalized—there's no country!

——This remark comes from the imagination of Trainer Lin Dun.

That cheerful chairman certainly wouldn't say such things; in fact, from students to trainers, to teachers, security staff, etc., hardly anyone feels that attending school/classes/work as usual is a problem.

Only a small number of horse‑girl students from East Yan have any complaints about this system.

But no one is foolish enough to actually go ask teachers, trainers, or secretaries why there's no holiday.

Aomo himself hadn't paid much attention to this, but helplessly, he still has a senior‑year classmate who defies common sense.

What does it mean to defy common sense?

First, Aomo was in the college‑prep rocket class in high school; the whole class had a 0% retention rate, so generally speaking—his classmates couldn't possibly still be stuck in senior year.

Second, that classmate's age, conservatively, should be in graduate school; being in senior year is truly standing out like a crane among chickens.

Obviously, this pressurizing person is Bi Ze.

Already at an age when peers are starting work, he's still enrolled in the senior‑year class.

Even during the Mid‑Autumn and National Day holidays, he bombards Aomo—who is overseeing the horse‑girl training—with game screenshots and real‑life travel photos, then pretends to casually ask if he has time off.

Regarding this, Aomo gave it serious thought.

He pondered whether, among the many electronic pets on his screen, any could serve as a fiery chili to give the other a taste of this world's specialty as an electronic shock.

But…

It's a shame, but we can only let it go.

Because Bi Ze is just an ordinary person.

Although he's already using a magic staff to try to save on transportation costs, and has found an android girlfriend, he's largely been trying to challenge the android's weight…

But this person's physical fitness is indeed that of an ordinary human.

A more intuitive description is—too fragile.

Not very friendly to outsiders, and with no regard for strength, the witch beast can easily deal Bi Ze a heavy blow.

Morisen‑type legal electronic ghosts, when manifesting in the material world, are illegal.

But if one were to instead spend some time with the Heart of Terra, the Gilbalis—who can stay in touch when needed—…

That's a bit too heavyweight.

After thinking it over, only a super agent giving him a slap would be appropriate.

But Jie Si Ti Si, like Zhouri Ningjing, cannot be considered an electronic pet.

It can only be called an electronic nigga.

To summon an electronic nigga, you need to come up with a relatively reasonable, highly convincing reason.

Because Aomo thinks the cost of coming up with such a reason is far greater than the cost of instantly teleporting to the school to punch Bi Ze…

So in the end, we still let it go.

Thus you can, a weekend after the week following National Day, come to Lin Dun's office and, together with Ya Bu Lu, utter an incredulous exclamation:

"Is it a tradition of monster tamers to hang humans at the gate, or is this a custom of the demon folk?"

Ya Bu Lu claims to be very familiar with human life and culture, but in that region of the demon realm, the atmosphere is indeed quite different from human society.

"Whoa! Abo people!" the youth hanging above also exclaimed in shock, "And it's even the Iron Ao version of the Abo people!"

"Iron Ao?"

The meaning of this East Yan term, after being translated by the portable translator, left Ya Bu Lu somewhat confused.

"He means to say 'Ultraman'," Aomo said, setting down a cup of tea on the table and gesturing for the other to sit, "Don't mind him; he just offended me."

"Oh… oh…"

Hearing such a blunt answer, Ya Bu Lu's sitting motion became somewhat stiff.

Does this mean I should watch my words and deeds from now on, or else the next one to be hung up will be me?

According to his understanding of human civilization, this should be considered a kind of show of force before dismounting.

But just as he was thinking that, he then heard the other smile and say:

"Don't be nervous; his existence isn't any kind of warning. His name is Bi Ze, he's my friend, and receiving this treatment is his own doing."

This inevitably left Ya Bu Lu astonished again.

"Has Mr. Lin Dun newly mastered mind‑reading?"

"Not really; it's just that your gaze and actions are telling me this."

"What do you mean 'self‑inflicted'! You're too petty! Aomo! When I was catching up on lessons, couldn't you also show off your gains?!"

The Bi Ze bound above like a maggot writhed in protest.

"Didn't you have time off last weekend?!"

"Um… Mr. Bi, Mr. Aomo was indeed working overtime last weekend."

"Uh…"

"We've said not to bother him, Jie Si Ti Si."

"Even the agent Mr. is actually here." The Abo person, who selectively ignores certain conversations for his own benefit, stared in surprise at the strangely device‑levitated Jie Si Ti Si explaining things to Bi Ze.

Immediately, his gaze swept over the corner of the counter and the side of the corridor.

Could I have just stumbled onto some case?

No, not really; Sai Luo, Mr. Lu, and Lipiya aren't here either. Noticing some expectation in the other's eyes, Aomo's usually calm demeanor also became slightly awkward. It's just that I've recently had some speculations about another world, and I need Jie Si Ti Si to provide long-term assistance.

Another world?

Yes, Director Abulu is also interested, right?

Then forget it… I just came back from the police station yesterday," Abulu shook their head repeatedly, "I don't want to get involved in any incident for a while.

It's a pity; I was actually looking forward to Yabo Company's technical support—you know, my staff always sings praises of your company's products.

Is that Miss Xin Tiao? Jin Gu Qiao also mentioned that high-quality client to me.

Yes, your company's products are in the basement lab's freezer, and they might even still have the trademark attached.

That truly is an honor; I would be willing to open a direct sales channel for monster materials for your firm at cost, but unfortunately…

As Abulu said this, their hesitant gaze swept over the super agent sitting opposite, and also over the rows of monster cards in front of the counter.

They wondered whether to speak of such an abnormal situation involving industry secrets, even though the other was undoubtedly a monster master.

But the other beat them to it, saying:

Recently, the monster materials, and even the monsters' condition, haven't been very good, right?
