World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 18: New employee assessment

"Sir, where did you hear about the Heavenly Demon's body possession? I was just treated by a doctor with acupuncture. You seem capable, how could you believe in such absurd things like the Heavenly Demon's body possession! Whoever told you this, I suggest you go out and kill him..." Wang San said with a bitter face. "Isn't there Black Dog Blood over there? Just pour a bowl on my face and give it a try!"

"Mr. Qi, can you tell what his keywords are?" Feng Yunjie looked at Wang San on the bed and asked curiously.

At the moment he heard the keywords, Wang San's breathing suddenly paused for a moment, but quickly returned to normal. He looked at Du Ge with a confused look and said, "What are you guys talking about? What keywords?"

"Innkeeper, when the people from the mansion went to find him, what was he doing?" Du Ge, with his keen senses, had already determined his background from his micro-expressions and smiled as he turned to ask.

"He was flirting with the neighbor's little girl," Feng Zhong said.

"Flirting!" Du Ge looked at Wang San on the bed and smiled. "Then it must be related to love. Let me guess what your keyword is. Romance? Love? Sweet talk? Infatuation? Affection? Casual..."

"Mr. Qi, I don't know what you're talking about. I'm just an innkeeper!" Wang San said. "Why don't you believe me? Isn't there Black Dog Blood over there?"

"Are you really the Heavenly Demon?" Du Ge asked.

"I'm not." Wang San said.

"None." Wang San said.

"Third Young Master, how should we deal with people suspected of being the Heavenly Demon?" Du Ge turned to Feng Yunjie and asked.

"Better to kill the wrong person than let them go." Feng Yunjie thought for a moment and said.

"Kill him then, consider it him dying of tuberculosis, living one more day is his luck." Du Ge glanced at him and said indifferently.

Swish!

Feng Yunjie drew his long sword and decisively slashed at Wang San's neck.

"Stop." Wang San suddenly closed his eyes and quickly said, "Romance, my keyword is romance. Don't kill me, I'm not a threat."

Romance!

Everyone in the room frowned at the same time.

Feng Shiyi said, "Mr. Qi, is it useful?"

"It's useful, it's useful, bro, don't kill me. I can help you. Let's cooperate. I'll be your right-hand man. I just ask you to give me some more time to experience the beauty of this world... " Looking at the sword blade just three inches away from his throat, Wang San's mouth moved quickly. "I haven't even tasted good food yet. I don't want to die like this. Please, please, I have no ulterior motives. I promise not to harm you."

"Innkeeper, can you bring the little girl he was flirting with last night?" Du Ge ignored him and turned to Feng Zhong. "I want to know what exactly he said to the little girl."

"Alright, I'll arrange it right away." Feng Zhong said.

"No!" Wang San's demeanor suddenly wilted. He looked at Du Ge and suddenly asked, "Brother, is it raining today?"

"..." Du Ge was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood what this random question meant. So this was their secret code!

He couldn't help but cry and laugh. Cheaters like this could be found in any kind of exam!

Du Ge asked, "How should I answer that?"

"It's not raining today, it will rain the day after tomorrow." Wang San sighed and said dejectedly.

"Now you can tell me your real keyword. If it's useful, we can cooperate." Du Ge said, "Wang San, this is your last chance. Think carefully before you answer."

"Sickly adorable, my keyword is sickly adorable." Wang San said with a gloomy face, revealing another keyword.

"Sickly adorable?" Du Ge was stunned, looking at the ordinary-looking Wang San on the bed, almost asking why you chose someone with this appearance for such a keyword?

But soon, he understood the reason.

Closed-book exam!

Body possession first, then the given keywords!

Damn it!

This not only tested acting skills but also luck!

Fortunately, his keyword was maintenance!

If he had been assigned a keyword similar to sickly adorable, he would have eliminated himself. He wouldn't be able to act out that kind of madness and perversion at all!

"What does sickly adorable mean?" Feng Shiyi asked.

"It means someone who is sick and weak!" Feng Yunjie said, "Otherwise, why would he possess someone with tuberculosis?"

Du Ge glanced back at the two of them without saying a word.

"Brother, I really didn't lie to you this time." Wang San looked at Du Ge and pleaded, "Although my keyword is a bit weak, I can still grow and help you. Two people are always stronger than one, right? You didn't attack me as soon as we met because you wanted to cooperate with me, right?"

"Alright, you can stay." Du Ge remained silent for a moment and said.

"Thank you, brother." Wang San was overjoyed and looked at Feng Zhong again. "Innkeeper, didn't you hear? Brother agreed to spare me. Why don't you untie me?"

Feng Yunjie swung his sword, cutting the rope on Wang San's body, and Feng Shiyi released the acupoints for him.Wang San sat up, rubbing his arm to stimulate blood circulation. He looked around at everyone in the room, then his gaze fell on Du Ge again. "Bro, what's the plan next? I'll follow your lead."

"I want to build a team, and no one in the team can be weak," Du Ge said. "If you want to join, you must show potential and value. I don't keep useless people in my team."

"Value? Is this a test for me?" Wang San asked.

"Yep." Du Ge nodded.

Wang San looked around the room, slightly frowning. "Bro, don't we have any women in our team?"

"Not for now," Du Ge replied.

"Oh." Wang San responded, then turned to Feng Yunjie and the others, tentatively asking, "They will cooperate with me, right?"

"Yep." Du Ge glanced at the people in the room without expression and nodded.

He had to keep Wang San. Firstly, to give an explanation to the Feng Residence, and secondly, to see how he would portray a 'sickly adorable' character, learning from his acting experience in case he encountered similar keywords in the future.

Wang San gave a slight smile, looked at Feng Yunjie, coughed twice to clear his throat, and tried to change his voice. "Little brother, I like you."

"..." Feng Yunjie was taken aback, looking at Wang San incredulously. "What did you say?"

Under everyone's gaze, Wang San looked at Feng Yunjie, his expression turning cold in an instant.

He reached out to touch Feng Yunjie's face, but seeing the long sword in his hand, he withdrew his hand. He just looked at him with adoring eyes, his voice changing in an instant. "Yes, you heard right, I like you. The moment you entered the room, I took a liking to you. But, I have a strong possessiveness, I don't like others touching my things. I also believe that what's mine, others can't take away... Hahaha, you look so cute right now..."

"..." Du Ge was stunned. Damn, was it that blunt?

Feng Shiyi and Feng Zhong were petrified on the spot, looking at Wang San, their facial muscles twitching unconsciously.

Feng Yunjie's face turned extremely ugly in an instant, goosebumps visibly rising on his skin. His hand gripping the sword tightened as if he was about to slash at Wang San's neck the next second, but fortunately, he still had his sanity and restrained his impulse. He turned his head to look at Du Ge, his eyes full of confusion.

"Wang San, have you gone mad?" Feng Zhong scolded. "Do you know who he is? He is the third young master of the Feng Family."

"Feng Zhong, from now on, please call me Mu Haoran," Wang San turned to Feng Zhong, maintaining his previous tone and voice.

"Cough!" Du Ge finally couldn't help but cough. "Wang San, hold on a second. Before you play the 'sickly adorable' character, I suggest you mess up the innkeeper's clothes first. Your acting skills are great, and your voice is great, but this outfit, coupled with your looks, honestly, it's quite distracting, it hurts the eyes..."

Feng Yunjie let out a sigh of relief.

Wang San looked down at his clothes, gave a wicked smile. "Little brother, wait for me. I'll come to you after I change my clothes."
