"During dinner, I also observed, and it really made me feel depressed. Fortunately, the delicious food comforted my soul," Lin Fei said.

"You two, if they make you feel depressed, then you should quickly find a partner. That way, you won't be fed dog food by them," Wang Xiaoru said with a smile.

"No," Lin Fei and Zhou Yue said in unison.

The three of them strolled for a while and, seeing that the time was about right, they headed towards the cinema.

The movie tickets were booked by Zhou Yue, and the screening time was at nine o'clock.

When they walked into the cinema, they were once again hurt by these young couples. Everywhere they looked, there were pairs of lovers.

"Did you buy tickets for a couples-only screening?" Lin Fei looked at Zhou Yue in confusion.

"No, I bought regular tickets. It's just that today is a bit special!" Zhou Yue said.

"Let's go buy popcorn and drinks!" Wang Xiaoru said.

Although Lin Fei felt that he was being hit by these lovey-dovey people, those with girlfriends also felt that they were being hit by Lin Fei.

They were very envious of Lin Fei, who was watching a movie with two mature and beautiful women.

"Have you had enough?" a girl asked her boyfriend.

"Huh? No, I haven't!" the boy was suddenly startled.

"Do you think I'm blind? You've been staring at them ever since those two girls came in," the girl said angrily.

"I only looked for a moment, and it's not just me who was looking at them," the boy muttered.

"Fine! You admit it, then you can keep looking! I'm going home." The girl stormed out of the cinema.

"Jiajia, wait! I'm sorry, I won't look at other girls anymore. The movie is about to start, let's go into the theater!" The boy hurriedly chased after her to apologize.

Similar incidents happened many times in the cinema. The three of them, as the main characters, didn't notice at all. It was only after they bought the popcorn and drinks that they realized the couples in the lobby were no longer showing off their affection.

...

At 10:30 PM, Lin Fei and the others came out of the cinema, feeling very satisfied.

In this world of superpowers, most of the special effects in movies don't need post-production; they are directly displayed using superpowers during filming.

"The fire-type superpower used by the protagonist at the end of the movie was really impressive!" Wang Xiaoru said.

"Yeah, the way he controlled the fire dragon was cool," Zhou Yue said.

"Not bad! That fire dragon was just so-so. If I were to use my superpower, I could create a much larger fire dragon," Lin Fei said dismissively.

...

Lin Fei used his superpower to send them home, then ate a bowl of tangyuan as a midnight snack at their house before returning to his flower shop.

On December 28th, Lin Fei had been quite idle these past few days. Although the flower shop's business had plummeted compared to before, he still managed to sell a few pots of spirit plants every day.

The spirit plants currently on the market were much cheaper than Lin Fei's, but the variety was limited, not as rich as what he offered. Those with more money still chose to buy from Lin Fei's shop.

"Boss Lin, your milk tea is here." Lin Wan's voice suddenly rang out in the shop.

"Thanks," Lin Fei said, taking the milk tea he had ordered.

"Boss Lin, I want to buy a pot of Cymbidium to put in my house," Lin Wan said.

"Sure, pick one, and I'll pack it for you," Lin Fei said.

"This one," Lin Wan pointed to a pot of Cymbidium.

Swish.

Lin Wan saw that Lin Fei was sitting behind the cash register and didn't get up, but the pot of Cymbidium she had chosen flew up on its own and slowly drifted towards her. A packing bag flew out from the cash register, opened its mouth, and packed the Cymbidium.

"This..." Lin Wan was a bit surprised; this was the first time she had seen Lin Fei use his superpower.

"What's wrong?" Lin Fei looked at her in confusion.

"Nothing, just that your superpower is really convenient," Lin Wan said, reaching out to take the Cymbidium that was floating in front of her.

"Your superpower is also very convenient. The ice-making superpower can quickly create many ice cubes, saving you a lot of time when selling cold drinks in the summer," Lin Fei said with a smile.

"Thank you, Boss Lin. How has your shop been doing these past few days?" Lin Wan asked.

"Pretty good! I can sell a few pots every day. Although it's not as good as before, I still have a turnover of tens of thousands every day," Lin Fei said with a smile.

"That's great, several times better than our shop, and you don't have to work as hard," Lin Wan said with a smile.

Ding dong...

Lin Fei's phone suddenly rang. Seeing that it was an unknown number, he had a feeling that trouble was coming.

Lin Wan saw that Lin Fei wasn't answering the call and thought it might be because she was there, so she said, "Boss Lin, I'll go back to my shop first. We can chat next time."

"Okay," Lin Fei nodded.

"Hello, who is this?" Lin Fei, seeing Lin Wan leave, thought for a moment and then answered the call.

"Abnormal Ability Administration Bureau, Investigator Han Xue," a woman's voice came from the phone.

"Sure enough, trouble is coming," Lin Fei thought to himself.

"What do you need me for?"

"There's a mission for you. I can't explain the details over the phone. Come to the bureau at 2:30 PM today."

"Okay, I'll hang up now. A customer just came in."

After hanging up, Lin Fei sat in his chair and regretted his previous talkativeness. It had only been a few days, and a mission was already coming his way.

"Director, I've informed Lin Fei," Han Xue said.

"Good, you'll lead the operation this afternoon. Let these new recruits get some practice," Xie Yurong said.

"Director, I'm your secretary now! How can I lead them? Let Chen Shu lead them!" Han Xue protested.

"Nine new recruits plus one temporary worker, three of them are at the 3rd stage, and the rest are above the high 2nd stage. How can Chen Shu, who is at the mid 2nd stage, lead them?" Xie Yurong asked.

"I'm only at the high 2nd stage too," Han Xue said softly.

"You're my secretary. Even if they have some thoughts, they won't show it. I'll explain it to them at the meeting this afternoon," Xie Yurong said.

...

At 2:30 PM, at the Rongcheng Abnormal Ability Administration Bureau, the same old place.

Temporary worker Lin Fei and nine rookie investigators were listening to Xie Yurong speak in the conference room.

"This is your first mission. I hope you can complete it successfully. My secretary, Han Xue, will lead you. You must follow her instructions. She will help you gradually adapt to your new job and understand that this is not just a job but a responsibility.

I'll leave it to Han Xue now. I have other matters to attend to. If you have any questions about the mission, you can ask her." Xie Yurong finished speaking and left the conference room.
