I Will Never Submit to Miss Grim Reaper - Chapter 243

Chapter 243: Special Operation, Codenamed “Fox Fox Fox!”

 

“What’s going on?”

 

While speaking with the fitness girl, Su Yunjin noticed the situation over here. Ouyang Xue, who had changed into her work uniform, also noticed, but she obviously didn’t recognize the “Miss Zhao” and looked at us with confusion.

 

“Are you friends?”

 

“Sort of friends. I’ve met her a few times before, but it was never in good circumstances,” Su Yunjin explained.

 

“Zhao Yue, Miss Zhao from the Zhao family. She’s also the only daughter of the Zhao family. Those people who came here claiming to have stomachaches and demanded apologies were under the Zhao family.”

 

“That was a misunderstanding,” Zhao Yue, standing at the staircase, scratched her head and explained, “Actually, I didn’t know about that. It was my dad and them…”

 

Apart from her very noticeable style and curvy figure, Zhao Ming’s appearance was actually quite decent. She had prominent eyelashes, single eyelids, giving off a scent of ancient “nobility.” Perhaps due to regular exercise, her face was clean and fresh, with hardly any acne or freckles visible. She exuded the air of a mature elder sister, and her voice was commanding. However, it seemed that because Yin Xiamo was present, she spoke very cautiously, as if afraid of offending someone.

 

Actually, I only learned many things after entering society… At least from what I understood from living in the Wujia Apartment before, in this relatively progressive society, people can no longer be judged with the same standards as ten or twenty years ago.

 

For example, in terms of appearance and physique, twenty or thirty years ago, people generally couldn’t afford to eat well, the lower class had low incomes, couldn’t afford meat and high-quality food, and usually ate plain rice and pickled vegetables.

 

Most people looked thin and weak, while in contrast, some wealthy people and officials were quite fat. Back then, there wasn’t much concept of fitness and health, rich people ate and drank lavishly, believing that good eating meant good health, and eating meat and game could prolong life. As a result, as science progressed, diseases like gout, known as the “disease of the wealthy,” were discovered.

 

Also, precisely because of the inherent beliefs at that time, people generally thought that those who didn’t exercise regularly, ate richly, and had a big belly were high-ranking officials, had connections, and were wealthy. That was indeed the case back then, but it seems different now in this era.

 

People’s living standards have improved, and most can afford meat now. Even ordinary workers, as long as they’re not too lazy, can have two meat buns for breakfast, fast food or takeout with some meat or a chicken leg for lunch, and a bowl of meat soup in the evening without any problems. During this period, people also generally have concepts of “fitness” and the like. The inherent impression of “high-ranking officials” seems to have begun to “reverse.”

 

Because everyone can afford meat, it’s not a problem to “gain weight.” Most ordinary people don’t have time to exercise, so those in the middle and lower classes who have a tendency to gain weight or some small business owners with a bit of money, busy with work, will also appear quite overweight.

 

I remember back when I was living in the Wujia Apartment, after a murder case, some police officers came to handle the situation. Some experienced old police officers actually had a bit of a belly. The reason was that everyone was too busy. Busy before and after, eating takeout for meals, takeout is oily, and there’s no time to exercise after eating. Then, they sit in the office for most of the day or even overnight, irregular sleep, and it would be strange if their bodies didn’t change shape.

 

Now it’s the other way around… Those who are particularly wealthy at home, the kind of people who don’t have to worry about money, are the ones who have time to exercise. They may even hire personal trainers, have time every day to study reasonable drinking and control calorie intake, strictly control their weight, and maintain their figure.

 

Scientific development has progressed, and people have started to know how to prolong their lives and also began to pay attention to health. Just like this “Miss Zhao” Zhao Yue.

 

Previously, when Yin Xiamo and I went to find her, we traveled a long way and even went to the underground boxing arena — this belongs to the activities of the wealthy. Ordinary people like us can’t afford to go to such “formal” places to box every day after work.

 

Of course, this is not absolute. Nowadays, many ordinary people have strong willpower. After a day of work, they come home and spend one or two hours exercising, rest on time, eat healthily. There are also many examples of binge-eating among the wealthy. However, this situation can also be viewed in the long term — if ordinary people’s willpower can truly be so firm and their self-control so strong, they will sooner or later make big money and enter the ranks of the wealthy. Similarly, if the wealthy lack any control, their wealth will eventually be squandered.

 

It’s like a cycle.

 

“I didn’t say you were aware, but it’s always true that you are from the Zhao family.”

 

After listening to Miss Zhao’s explanation, Su Yunjin crossed her arms and adopted an attitude of “go on, I’m listening”.

 

“Because of dissatisfaction with the construction in the Nanqi District, which touched on the core interests of the Zhao family, you tried every means to interfere. Hm? Wasn’t the incident on the commercial street last week also done by your people?”

 

“It was my dad and them.”

 

This time, Zhao Yue didn’t refute. The girl, who stood over 1.7 meters tall with a refreshing short haircut and a great figure, smiled bitterly. “You should also know that my dad and them… have a lot of real estate in the Nanqi District…”

 

“Stop.”

 

Seeing that the other party was about to say something, Su Yunjin raised a hand. “I’m not interested in whether your dad lost money in his business. Our people specifically talked to you about this matter before, I remember it was made clear to each other at that time, and my uncle and them gave the Zhao family enough time.”

 

“I also talked to her before in the Beiyang District.”

 

Yin Xiamo stared at this “young lady” with a bruised eye. “At that time, she did promise not to have any more dealings with us.”

 

“So this time it’s not for that matter…”

 

Zhao wore a helpless expression. “I really just represent myself… I want to join you, really.”

 

“Coming here to steal business secrets up close?”

 

Su Yunjin frowned. “Miss Zhao, this isn’t good. Your plan is too obvious.”

 

“I really just want to learn boxing from Boss Xiamo. You have to believe me.”

 

The fitness girl ahead looked sincere. “In the Zhao family, they always flatter me, please me, and never speak the truth. I’m tired of this environment, I want to break out of this atmosphere, otherwise, I’ll never be able to progress… I hope I can join you.”

 

I cautiously approached Yin Xiamo.

“What did you do to her that day?”

 

“I beat her up.”

 

“Huh?”

 

“At that time, there was a match at the underground boxing gym. Maybe because she’s a young lady, many people went easy on her. When I arrived, she asked me to spar with her, so I went up.”

 

Yin Xiamo looked nonchalant. “I almost didn’t control my strength properly, but she has quite good recovery abilities.”

 

You beat someone up, and she still comes over, wanting to work as a laborer for the café? What kind of new masochist is this…

 

“I’ve investigated this person, and she does seem to have a… very obsessive attitude towards boxing, and her thinking might be a bit strange.”

 

Yin Xiamo shook her head. “At least for now, based on her heartbeat and physical characteristics, what she just said should be true.”

 

“She wants to work here?”

 

“Maybe she thinks I’m a disciple of some high-level expert.”

 

I think I understand now.

 

It’s like… that knight lady in the anime “KonoSuba: God’s Blessing on This Wonderful World!”? Darkness?

 

Listening to Xiao Mo’s description, I felt like I suddenly saw the short-haired girl in front of me through a strange filter.

 

I used to think that all the young ladies from wealthy families were the type who understood etiquette and had cultivation. At worst, they would dress themselves up beautifully like Li Denghua with various little skirts and bows, or like many female internet celebrities in videos nowadays, flaunting brand-name cars and handbags, going for the sexy route.

 

Do young ladies with such emotional dispositions and a liking for simple-minded bodybuilders exist as well? It seems my understanding of the “upper class society” is still somewhat skewed.

 

“If this young lady intends to get close to Xiao Mo by applying for a security guard position here, then I can tell you… it’s not going to work.”

 

Fei Luo, who had changed into her maid uniform, walked out from the dressing room behind with a smile on her face. “Your people came here to cause trouble before and even threatened Nuo’er, you know, Nuo’er is Xiao Mo’s lover. The fact that she didn’t retaliate fiercely that night was already the biggest concession.”

 

“Ah…”

 

The young lady from the Zhao family at the staircase became even more embarrassed. “What do I have to do for you to believe me?”

 

“Nuo’er, let’s go back.”

 

Yin Xiamo didn’t respond but came over to rub my stomach. “How are you feeling today? Still hurting?”

 

“A bit.”

 

I smiled. “Should be better tomorrow.”

 

Damn menstrual cycle… Why hasn’t it passed yet?

 

“We’re just servers here. If you want to apply for a security guard position, talk to our manager.”

 

As Yin Xiamo led me past the young lady from the Zhao family, she didn’t directly address the “Miss Zhao”.

 

“It’s not my shift with Nuo’er today, so we’ll be leaving first.”

 

“……”

 

After we exited the café, Xiao Mo took my hand and gestured towards the direction of the sea.

 

“Do you want to go together?”

 

“Um… the angel?”

 

I recalled the incident when Su Yunjin mentioned recruiting an “angel staff.”

 

“Is her name Gabriel?”

 

Even in the dream, my impression of Gabriel was quite minimal. At least I didn’t remember the hero encountering any “angels” from another world, or having any interaction with this angel named Gabriel.

 

“Yes, Gabriel. She’s now the chief archangel over there, akin to… managing a province here.”

 

Yin Xiamo closed her eyes, seemingly sensing a certain aura.

 

“She’ll be here in less than an hour.”

 

“Is magic like the kind that allows travel between worlds common for most people in that world?”

 

The thought of potentially having many more people coming over to this side in the future made me feel overwhelmed.

 

“Is traveling between two worlds… easy?”

 

“Not easy at all. Crossing world magic falls under forbidden spells. Only beings like Fei Luo, Gabriel, or the Queen of Elves can learn it in a short time. And even if they learn it, it’s useless without coordinates.”

 

Yin Xiamo helped adjust the bow on my clothes, “You also need to cooperate with the power of ‘coordinates’.”

 

“Oh… I see…”

I pretended to understand.

 

“Then how did Xiao Mo find her way here?”

 

“Because I smelled the scent of Nuo’er’s little cat.”

 

“What!”

I protested, “Can you be a bit more serious!”

 

“Anyway, I found you.”

 

Yin Xiamo gestured towards the coastline not far away.

 

“Shall we? We can go and see the foxes you fed earlier.”

 

“If possible, we can also try to persuade that angel who has been strict with herself for thousands of years to try using some of the entertainment devices in this world.”

 

“Like playing online games or doing live streams.”

 

“……”
