Got it, got it!

Finally healthy!

Fang Yue couldn't help but cheer.

The minor issue of daytime stats plummeting was buried under the joy of being cured of the 【Curse】.

He realized he'd rather fight a 【Power-Driven Weird】 for three hundred rounds than face another special weird like 【Trapped-Bullet Weird】—the aftereffects were truly torturous.

Most importantly, the treatment cost was too high.

Just looking at the gear An Shenyi had assembled—the flashy, over-the-top procedures—made it feel like money was flowing away in a rush.

"Alright, you can go. And bring Niu Niu in."

Hearing An Shenyi's words, Fang Yue quickly replied, "Yes."

An Shenyi may be greedy, but his medical skill is truly unmatched—no explanation needed, absolutely amazing!

Fang Yue pushed open the door; the three waiting outside immediately turned to look at him.

"Xiao Ye, you're better?" Lord Han gave him a quick glance and smiled.

"Congratulations," Lin Ling said flatly, expressionless as a corpse, voice utterly devoid of inflection.

"Ye Ge!! Ye Ge you're better you're better!! Finally it's my turn! Heaven and earth, I've suffered so much!"

The most excited was Niu Niu; as soon as Fang Yue moved, he slipped past him and dashed into the room.

Immediately came the sound of a thud as someone fell to their knees, followed by…

"An Shenyi, save me!!!"

That volume…

Fang Yue covered one ear with his hand and slammed the door shut.

Seeing this, Lord Han seized the chance to mention the traitor and the matter of Fang Yue assuming his duties today.

"Me? Directly take on the Captain's duties? Patrol during the day?"

Fang Yue immediately shook his head like a rattle drum.

"You don't want to?"

Lord Han blinked in surprise.

He'd heard Captain Lin say Fang Yue had already agreed to take the Deputy Captain position.

The Captain's seat would be secure once the official Document arrived.

So in every sense, Fang Yue was already one of the village's Captains, and carrying out missions was only natural.

But what did Fang Yue mean now?

Enjoying the benefits without fulfilling the duties?

As Lord Han puzzled over this, Fang Yue shouted out:

"I don't want the day shift! Reject the day shift! I want the night shift! I love the night shift!! Night shift is number one!"

Huh?

Everyone else avoids night shift—you're the one rushing to take it? This this this this.

"If you want night shift, I have no objection. But today you must first go through the procedures with Captain Lin, familiarize yourself with the Captain's duties, and then you may take night shift. Is that acceptable?"

Fang Yue's eyes darted—having Lin Ling accompany him all day wouldn't be a problem.

As for why he chose night shift? That goes without saying! With Night's Breath, who in their right mind would pick day shift?

After thinking it over, Fang Yue said: "I can agree, but I need to collect my benefits first."

Lord Han nodded. "Good. Salary is a minor issue. Lin Captain, take the lead—show Xiao Ye to collect his Deputy Captain's monthly salary."

Lin Ling gave a flat nod, then shot Fang Yue a sour look and walked out ahead.

Fang Yue trotted cheerfully behind him, utterly unfazed by Lin Ling's attitude.

Come on, rewards are coming soon!

Tonight's night patrol pay, bounty for killing Weirids, hard work defending Gu Yue Cun—I want it all. jpg!

With this pile of rewards dropping on me, how much lifespan will I gain? Hehehe!

As he was thinking this, a piercing scream suddenly erupted from An Shenyi's room.

"Aaaaaah!!!"

"An Shenyi! This needle is too thick! It'll kill me! It'll kill me! It'll kill me!!!"

"Ahh!! Pain pain pain pain pain, my heart—my poor heart can feel it! Go easy, go easy! Aaaah—"

The pig-slaughtering screams echoed through the corridor, piercing through doors and windows.

Lord Han and the others exchanged glances.

Lin Ling glanced curiously at Fang Yue. "Does An Shenyi really strike that hard?"

Fang Yue fell silent for a moment: "Yes!"

"Huh? But I didn't hear you scream just now."

Fang Yue's eyes instantly misted over; he looked at Lin Ling and spoke slowly, syllable by syllable: "Men! Have! Tears! But! Do! Not! Cry! Lightly!"

Oh—

"So tragic!"

Hehehe!

Lin Ling beamed, suddenly finding Fang Yue much more agreeable.

Lord Han stepped forward, patted Fang Yue on the shoulder, gave him an encouraging glance, then left first—he had many matters to attend to, and had only stayed here waiting because Fang Yue's safety was at stake.

Seeing Lord Han leave, Lin Ling grew even bolder, grinning like a flower: "Come on! Let's go collect your salary!"

Damn! Why is he so happy? Does he get a bonus every time I collect my pay? Is this some kind of pyramid scheme by headcount?

Without overthinking it, Fang Yue followed Lin Ling out of Han Fu straight toward the Guard Station.

"Give me your Life Order."

"Deputy Captain's monthly salary: ten days of Yang Shou."

"Night patrol duty: six hours of Yang Shou."

"If you detect a strange entity during night patrol: reward one day of Yang Shou."

"If you respond to the Gathering Fire Order: reward three days of Yang Shou."

"Guarding Gu Yue Cun, slaying two 【Black Grade Low】 strange entities: major merit, reward twenty days of Yang Shou."

"Total: thirty-four days and six hours of Yang Shou. Merit recorded in your official record."

Lin Ling scribbled a long list of characters onto the record scroll.

Whether because he'd learned from Chen Mu before, or because he'd long harbored this ambition and secretly practiced,

Lin Ling handled all these procedures with ease, remarkably skilled.

In no time, he distributed the rewards.

"Here's your Life Order back. Also, I'll have someone fetch a set of Deputy Captain's uniform from the warehouse for you."

"Technically, during duty hours, a Deputy Captain must wear the official uniform—that is, this special attire."

"But Gu Yue Cun is a small place, no such strict rules—you can wear it if you want, or leave it at home. Unless someone from above visits or it's a special day, nobody cares."

Saying this, Lin Ling pulled out a brownish-yellow map.

"This is the village map. Green marks are vacant houses. You can pick one to live in."

"Lord Han said that since you'll eventually become one of the Guard Team's Captains, you may directly choose a large house—this benefit doesn't require higher approval; the village has the authority to decide on its own."

Fang Yue first took back his Life Order and happily checked the Yang Shou.

"Yang Shou: two months, two days."

Two months of Yang Shou!

Fang Yue's spirits lifted; he felt as if his entire being had been elevated.

If Yang Shou were used as a rank system, Fang Yue was now a Month-Level Yang Shou cultivator!

As for other players, they were mere Hour-Level or Day-Level Yang Shou weaklings—no comparison at all!

Too bad there were no other players nearby to compare with; otherwise, he could've immediately spat out one word—loser!

Seeing Fang Yue remain silent for so long, Lin Ling asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

Fang Yue's voice suddenly turned deep and mature, his expression as stiff as constipation, he said coolly: "I'm showing off!"

"I fucking… you're showing off your damn old man? If you don't want the house, I'm taking the map back!"

"Oh oh! I'm looking! I'm looking… Ah! This house is great! Facing south with north behind it, warm in spring, cool in summer, nearly twice the size of every other vacant house—I'll take this one?"

"Good taste. This house is on the left of the crematorium, right of the graveyard—extremely heavy yin energy. Perfect for someone like you! Alright, I'll draw up the deed right now…"

Fang Yue:?!!
