Start from Wusheng

Chapter 224: The internship ended peacefully
Rejection, Zhou You rejected the olive branch thrown by Captain Chang?
No, how could he refuse, how dare he?
Captain Chang was shocked and couldn't react for a moment. He stared at Zhou You and wondered why.

"bass!"

Captain Ye had a frosty look on his face as he flicked his fingernails, producing a buzzing sound similar to the high-frequency vibration of iron sheets.

Since Zhou You refused to join the city gate guards, he is no longer one of us. After learning so many secrets, how could he just walk away?

The best outcome is to be imprisoned in the secret place of the city gate guards, never to see the light of day for the rest of your life.

If he dares to resist, he will die.

Although the other two captains sighed and admired Zhou You's talent, they also hardened their hearts when faced with major issues.

In an instant, the originally harmonious scene turned tense.

Zhou You didn't move, and most of the yellow dots on the panel did not change. Only a few turned orange, but not completely red.

This means that the situation is far from being a falling out.

Even if a conflict occurs, he still has 1-2 hours of battlefield perspective, increasing the probability of escape.

But the situation remains serious.

Half of the city gate guards have arrived, and there are four martial artists alone. If they are really determined to attack him, he will be surrounded on all sides and unable to escape even with wings.

"Zhou You, you really don't want to reconsider it?"

Among the eight ghost-catching lieutenants, Captain Chang is famous for his clear distinction between kindness and grudge, and for repaying kindness and grudges tenfold.

Because Yang Xi failed to provide adequate protection, he ordered that the body should not be buried and was allowed to stink and rot: the flower thief was the culprit who killed his daughter, so he had him executed by slow slicing, skinning him alive into a pile of meat slices.

It was also in the case of the flower thief that Zhou You performed outstandingly, using his strength to block the powerful enemy and save people from the flower thief.

From that time on, he began to admire Zhou Yousheng and thought of recruiting him into the city gate guards.

Last night, after Zhou You became an abandoned disciple, he fought hard in desperation and killed three transformed ghosts, catching all the ghosts that had been causing trouble in the city recently, and amazed many high-ranking city gate guards.

The martial arts school doesn't want such talents, but the city gate guards are eager to have them.

But why didn't he agree?
"Captain Chang, I appreciate your kindness. I have elderly parents at home and I need to take care of them until the end of their lives. The city gate guards do important things and I am afraid I will not be able to take care of my family."

Zhou You said so.

"You are short-sighted. If you can't protect the peace of the city, how can your family be at peace?"

A lieutenant shouted, "Zhou You, today you are either one of us or a prisoner."

The attitudes of several ghost-hunting lieutenants were unprecedentedly consistent. Knowing the secret of the city gate guards, they still refused to join? Dream on!
"Zhou You, you've seen it too. This is the rule for the city gate guards. I can't make an exception for you."

Captain Chang said sincerely, "Join us, you are a genius at killing monsters."

"Captain Chang, I just killed three transformed demons. I did nothing wrong but achieved success. Are you really going to attack me?"

"The ones who are happy about my traveling around, killing or imprisoning are not others, but those enchanting creatures hiding in the dark."

Zhou You said firmly, "It's not only by joining the city gate guards that one can kill the monsters. I can do it alone, and it's more convenient."

"Captain, the city gate guards are a big family with a big business and a big target. The charms must be avoiding you. Otherwise, why haven't you discovered this group of transformed charms for such a long time?"

"I acted alone so that I could lure the snake out of its hole and take advantage of the opportunity to attack."

What he said made sense and many city gate guards thought deeply about it. It was indeed true.

The city gate guards were too big a target, and the demons all knew they were their natural enemies and had been prepared for them, so all previous searches had yielded no results.

Zhou You is different, he is an ordinary warrior and the target of hunting by the evil spirits.

"Captain Chang, I have a suggestion. How about we work together?"

Before Captain Chang could say anything, the other three captains burst out laughing, "Cooperation? What a joke!"

How can a mere abandoned disciple of a martial arts school be qualified to cooperate with the city gate guards? They are the feudal lords and worldly guards who guard the city gates. Zhou You ignored the ridicule and sarcasm and continued to express his thoughts.

"Although I won't join the city gate guards, I can continue to eliminate enchanted creatures and protect the peace in the city."

"Cooperation means I will help you kill the monsters and complete the targets."

“Have you ever heard of project outsourcing?”

"I can find the enchantments that you can't find, and I can kill the enchantments that you can't kill. I can do a better job traveling around than the city gate guards."

Zheng Qing stood a few hundred meters away, surrounded by his colleagues who were guards at the city gate.

After hearing Zhou You's words, the city gate guards started talking to each other, "What a big mouth! He really takes himself seriously."

"otherwise!"

Zheng Qing shook his head. "Who among you can do what he did and wipe out a whole nest of transformed demons by himself?"

The corpses of the three transformed ghosts were still lying on the ground. If it weren't for Zhou You, the four ghost-catching captains would have come to surround and hunt them.

Such a tricky and cunning enemy was destroyed by Zhou You alone.

Now it depends on what the captains decide, how to deal with Zhou You?

Zheng Qing shook his head. He also hoped not to attack Zhou You. This young warrior deserved respect.

After a moment's silence, Captain Chang finally spoke.

"You will never be able to leave this place without joining the city gate guards."

The secrets of the city gate guards are only known to insiders. Once you know them, it is impossible to stay out of it.

Even if he was a captain at the level of a martial artist, it was impossible for him to make an exception and allow Zhou You, who knew the inside story, to leave.

We still have to take action!

Zhou You sighed and began to think secretly...

"However, the threshold for becoming a city guard is not low, and you need to be assessed to join."

"The probation period may be long or short, depending on the individual. During this period, you are still not considered an official member of the City Gate Guard."

"Zhou You, if you take the initiative to apply for the assessment, it will be considered that you are interested in joining the city gate guards."

"As for whether you are qualified to become a formal member based on your performance, it depends on your performance in the future."

Captain Ye and others were amazed and impressed after hearing this. This was a clever method.

Since Zhou You doesn't want to join, he won't be given a formal identity and will be listed as a non-staff member under the pretext of a probation period.

In this way, the city gate guards had a step and Zhou You could also have his freedom, and the two sides ended peacefully without fighting.

This method has the best of both worlds and is quite preferential to Zhou You.

The so-called probation period is aimed at those warriors who are not strong enough. People like Zhou You can be directly converted to a regular employee, starting from the officer position that Li Hao's father had to endure many years to be promoted to.

Captain Chang proposed this probation period out of love for money and to give both parties a way out.

"Captain Chang, thank you very much, Zhou You. I am willing to apply for the assessment."

Zhou You was not inflexible. Since the other party was willing to make concessions, he might as well go with the flow.

"Okay, take this token. From now on, we will kill the monsters together and protect the peace of Gongliang City."

Captain Chang picked up a wooden box and handed it to Zhou You. It was so heavy that no one knew what was inside it.

From this moment on, Zhou You was a non-staff member of the city gate guards. He was free to move around without having to sign in at the camp. As for the benefits and treatment of formal employees, he didn't care.
