Secret: I can play two paths

Chapter 33 Xiao Ke's Visit

Star's eyes were blurred and his mind drifted to another world, as if his hands and the "Rose Monster" created by his pen became one, flying up and down at an incredible speed.

The sound of typing echoed in the room.

Just when he was getting so excited that his whole body was shaking, he heard a knock on the door.

Star shuddered, glanced at the manuscript, and put it away.

It should be Xiao Ke who is here.

Star walked to the door and saw Klein in a black suit and carrying a cane. He was in a playful mood and took the initiative to speak:

"You came."

“I’m here.” Klein sighed and glanced at Star nervously.

Although he had received another prayer from Star in the morning, he was still worried and couldn't help but come to check on Star's condition.

"You shouldn't have come." Star sighed.

"I'm here." Klein picked up the joke out of habit, then felt something was wrong. Why did the atmosphere become so "ancient dragon"?

He came to check on Star's condition!

Still a little worried, Klein couldn't help but ask, "Sta, is your promotion really okay?"

It should be alright, right? After all, Star can happily play with modern memes.

Star gestured for him to come in, and said as he walked side by side with Klein, "Actually, there are still some things."

"what?"

Klein's heart, which had just been at ease, suddenly rose again. A large number of cases of serious consequences after failed promotions popped up in his mind. He listened to Star's speech with concern.

"Well, my current mental state is affected by the potion. I may be a little neurotic in my speech and behavior in the future. But it doesn't matter. As the potion is digested, this situation will gradually be brought under control."

Star saw that Klein's face was full of worry. He didn't want to tease him, so he told him his true situation directly.

"So that's how it is. I thought you would lose control."

Only then did Klein put his worries at ease.

For him, such a Star is certainly acceptable.

As long as the promotion is successful, that's enough.

Klein felt somewhat relieved for a moment, but this mood was immediately interrupted by Sta's words.

"Then I'll have to ask the great 'Fool' to bear with me from now on. I hope He can forgive my offense."

Star said with a grin.

His words left Klein at a loss for words and he fell silent.

Is this what Star meant by "neurotic"?

It really embarrasses me...

Klein wanted to turn around and leave, but suddenly, he heard his stomach growling and felt a strong hunger.

Oh yeah, I haven’t had lunch yet…

Although the security company provides meals, I rushed here without taking a rest after finishing my classes in the morning.

Oh my god, I was so busy that I forgot about it and didn’t even get to eat the 7 pence “office meal”.

Klein's expression changed several times. He wanted to pretend that he was full and leave to go back to the company to see if he could order another meal at Old Ville's.

At this moment, Star glanced at him sideways, pointed to the kitchen and said, "I left a fresh fish and a roast chicken for you, and there's still a lot of oyster soup left."

OK OK.

Star, I forgive you for your offense!
Klein's mood suddenly improved. Bribed by Sta's food, he couldn't wait to run to Sta's kitchen and started to feast on it.

He picked up a piece of roast chicken coated with honey. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, golden brown and delicious. The slightly sweet meat and the taste of oil intertwined together, making Klein feel that the gravy was slightly overflowing, and it tasted very delicious when chewed.

"How is it? Does what I made taste good?"

Star strolled into the kitchen and chatted with Crane.

"Uh-huh."

Klein did not stop what he was doing. Coming from the Great Foodie Empire, he was now reveling in the deliciousness of the food.

"By the way, you suddenly came to my house now, and it seemed like there was no reason. It was a bit abrupt. After all, we didn't interact much in normal times."

Star thought of the attention Klein received and sighed imperceptibly.

Even though he has now isolated the real and the virtual from possible prying eyes, there is no guarantee that he will be discovered.
Alas, who made me tell Xiao Ke my address before?
Klein also noticed this problem. He thought about it for a moment and said hesitantly:
"Star, I wonder if you would mind being my informant?"

"I think I can develop you into an informant for the Nighthawks, or a secret peripheral member."

"Now you are also a regular Beyonder. You don't have to worry anymore. You don't have to be afraid that one day you will be captured or killed by the Nighthawks, the Mandated Punishers, or the members of the Mechanical Heart. You can enjoy your life peacefully and happily."

"We will give you some identification items when the time comes."

"From now on, I will be the only one who will contact you offline directly, and at most only our captain will know about it."

Klein did not hide the fact that he had joined the Nighthawks.

After the "last words" in the gray fog, he suddenly realized that a senior like Star had planned his affairs after his death so carefully, and it could be said that he had left many things to his fellow villager.

This senior time traveler was so honest and reliable that Klein felt embarrassed to hide too much from Star.

Hence the scene where he revealed his identity as an official Beyonder and offered suggestions.

Moreover, although Klein felt that given Senior Sta's erudition, he might not worry about the pressure from official Beyonders such as the Nighthawks, the Punishers, and the Mechanical Heart.

But it would be better to make more preparations, and the identity of an informant would not impose too many restrictions on Star.

It just made it convenient for him to come to Star for a free meal.

The food Star makes is much better than the company's "office food".

Is this an abuse of privacy?

Klein couldn't help but complain in his heart.

At the same time, Star was thinking about the pros and cons of this matter in his mind.

Become an informant? That sounds good.

After all, Star also knew the cruelty of the extraordinary world. Although he was temporarily staying in Tingen City, the official extraordinary people in this "small" Tingen City were not as powerful as the wild extraordinary people like Ins Zangwill, Azik and Pales in Leonard's body.

But he knew that in the original novel, there was an excellent physician who had saved many patients and had never hurt anyone. However, just because he took a magic potion and became an Extraordinary, he was imprisoned by his grumpy brother's Extraordinary to a place where he could never see the sun, and was even made a subject for the Punisher's experiment.

Without announcing the "playing method", most wild Beyonders that might get out of control are considered time bombs in the eyes of the authorities...

Anyway, after I become an informant, Xiao Ke won't let me do anything. Maybe he will even help me get some money from Hei Ye...

After thinking it over again and again, Star finally made a decision: "Okay, but you'd better report it as I say..."
