Chapter 91

The girl is named Xu Xiaowan, and like Cao Jinhai, she is a student at Yingcai Academy. The boy sitting next to her is her boyfriend, named Yang Shucheng.

"A nightmare isn't a good dream, so what's there to listen to? I think you're just bored."

Yang Shucheng was somewhat dissatisfied with his girlfriend's intense interest.

"Look at you, just let Old Hai tell the story. Listening won't get you pregnant."

Xu Xiaowan wasn't angry with Yang Shucheng and remained highly interested.

"Xiaowan has made me curious too, just tell us."

This time, it was Cao Jinhai's girlfriend, Meng Juanjuan, who spoke.

Seeing his girlfriend speak up, Cao Jinhai no longer held back, cleared his throat, and said:

"I didn't have the patience to listen to Changye in detail, but the gist is that Changye has been having the same dream recently. In the dream, it seems like someone wants to kill him or something."

"Tch, how boring."

Xu Xiaowan had thought it would be a strange dream, but it turned out to be so mundane. She shook her head in disappointment, losing all interest.

"It's not interesting at all. I think you've been reading too many horror novels."

Yang Shucheng sneered and said to Cao Jinhai and Meng Juanjuan:

"You don't know how sick she's been lately, reading horror novels on her phone every day. She doesn't even find it scary."

"I think you're the one who's sick. If Xiaowan wants to read horror novels, let her. It's better than some people chatting on WeChat all day."

"Cao Jinhai! Stop being so sarcastic. What's wrong with chatting on WeChat? Does being with me mean I can't have other friends?"

"I didn't say anything, why are you so worked up?"

"I don't want to deal with you! Xiaowan, I'll sit next to you."

Meng Juanjuan got up unhappily and sat next to Xu Xiaowan, not even looking at Cao Jinhai.

The atmosphere in the private room became awkward. Finally, Yang Shucheng seemed to think of something and said to the others:

"Summer Qi that bastard is supposed to be back tomorrow or the day after. I heard he's doing great out there. We should give him a good welcome when he comes back."

"He's just boasting. How much can an intern earn? But compared to us, he's doing pretty well. At least he's making his own money."

"Is Summer Qi coming back for a health check?" Xu Xiaowan and Meng Juanjuan clearly knew Summer Qi.

"Yeah, otherwise he wouldn't come back. He went out to rent a place to look for a job."

Cao Jinhai's tone was clearly unhappy when he mentioned this.

While Cao Jinhai and the others were talking about Summer Qi, in a dormitory at Yingcai Academy, their other roommate, Li Changye, jumped out of bed as if he had seen a ghost, his face full of fear.

"It's a dream... it's a dream... it must be a dream."

Li Changye stared at the dormitory door with wide eyes, as if a monster would crash through the door at any second.

Since the school only conducts health checks at the beginning of the month, and it was still some time before then, Summer Qi didn't immediately return to school after coming back from home. Instead, he went back to the villa.

However, when he returned, there was no one in the villa. The three of them were either out on a mission or had gone out for their own reasons.

He took off his clothes and had a refreshing shower. His summary of this trip home was just three words—imperfect.

He had seen his parents, but the pressure in his heart had increased significantly. He had to have a life to come back home.

Then there was his grandfather. Initially, his purpose in contacting his grandfather was simple: to get some protective amulets that worked well for self-defense. However, he found out that his grandfather was out and couldn't be reached.

But after experiencing some events and learning some things, he realized that his grandfather's identity was not simple, and they might share the same fate.

Due to these factors, his mood was heavy on the way back, as if a stone was pressing on his chest, making it hard to breathe.

Fortunately, he had a naturally cheerful personality, so he remained optimistic and didn't walk around with a frown and sighs. He always believed that complaining solved nothing, and worrying only added wrinkles to his face.

"Meet the soldiers with generals, meet the water with earth. One difficulty at a time, and I'll handle it. Two difficulties, and I'll handle them both. What can possibly stump me, this genius?"

Summer Qi temporarily put aside these things that could make him feel terrible and instead thought about the gains from the last event.

A perfect rating, 5 honor points.

Honestly, he almost couldn't believe it. He had actually received a perfect rating.

Although 5 honor points were also tempting, they were still a bit less significant compared to the perfect rating, as this rating was the key to his future promotion to supervisor.

If honor points were insufficient, they could be accumulated by solving events, but getting a perfect rating was a matter of luck.

It really was a matter of luck. If Leng Yue hadn't waited for Xiao Li to kill Chen Lao Da and reduce his resentment, but had directly trapped him with a ghost trap, Leng Yue wouldn't have been able to convince Xiao Li.

Furthermore, if Leng Yue had been used as bait to lure Xiao Li into the ghost trap, Leng Yue, with his human constitution, would have been cursed and dehydrated into a mummy long ago.

So, although the last event seemed simple, and Xiao Li as a vengeful ghost didn't seem too dangerous, it was important to remember that her evil spirit constitution made her almost immune to Xiao Li's curse. That's why he managed to escape with his life. Otherwise, anyone else would have been dehydrated into a mummy many times over.

After all, causing dehydration through a curse was Xiao Li's ultimate move.

But regardless of the process, the event was perfectly resolved in the end.

Not counting the 2 honor points used for the last enhancement (speed/strength/reaction), he currently had 6 honor points and a perfect rating.

Thinking about how close he was to the position of "supervisor," Summer Qi felt a bit excited. No matter what the future held, at least he saw hope.

Once he became a supervisor, not only would the honor points he earned double, but he would also get a team "bonus," which was like having an extra life.

He still remembered clearly how easily Liang Ruoyun had dealt with the vengeful ghost.

Whether it was for money, power, or simply to stay alive, promotion was the only way to survive in this company.

"If I consider promotion, I can't enhance myself in the short term. Although enhancement is a bit risky, it seems to have some effect."

Summer Qi was unsure whether to enhance himself again. After all, he had already tasted the benefits in the last event. His reaction speed had indeed improved, and he would have definitely been unable to dodge those sudden water barriers otherwise.

But if he chose to enhance, the honor points would be consumed, making it harder to save up the 10 honor points needed.

"It would be great if I could earn some extra money."

Both options had their pros and cons, which made Summer Qi quite headache.
