After Lu Yu logged into the game, the sun was setting, and the night quickly arrived.
Whether in real life or in the game, this was Lu Yu’s first night shift. He was a little excited, and he stopped his training at 10:30 pm. He was fully equipped as he waited by the logistics department for work.
He was in such a hurry not only because he was a little excited about his first night shift, but also because he would have enough experience points to level up the Fierce Tiger Fist Style after he completed the patrol mission.
In order to upgrade the Fierce Tiger Fist Style, he had already worked hard in the game for three to four days. He was about to complete a small goal, how could he not be excited?
The logistics department closed at 10 o’clock in the evening. Right now, the servants and steward inside were checking today’s bills and supplies.
When it was around 10:50, everyone would leave. At that time, the security task here would be handed over to Lu Yu.
He touched the whistle in his pocket. It was still there. He did not forget it in his room.
When it was close to 11:00, the steward in charge of the logistics department locked the door of the warehouse and locked the gate of the logistics department.
He looked at Lu Yu, who was waiting at the door, and noticed that he was wearing formal protective clothing. He did not pay much attention and left the logistics department.
Lu Yu began to patrol around the logistics department to see if there were any unusual movements.
It was late at night, and only a few places in the outer courtyard of the Han Residence were still bright The logistics department was even more deserted. One could only see the figures of the courtyard guards who were also patrolling at night.
There was no movement in the logistics department either, not even a mouse could be seen.
A few hours passed. At first, Lu Yu would carefully inspect the corners that Wang Qiang had pointed out. But now, he could just walk around casually. As long as there were no problems, it would be fine.
Boring.
That’s right. The biggest problem with night shift was that it was boring, especially when he was walking in a circle. There wasn’t even anyone to talk to.
They didn’t arrange for others to patrol with him, so as to prevent them from chatting while they were on patrol. This would make it easy for outsiders to discover them.
“Being bored is also a good thing. This means that tonight’s mission can be easily completed.”
Just as Lu Yu was consoling himself, he suddenly received a system notification.
[ Quest triggered! Thief in the Han Residence — Recently, the warehouse of the logistics department had been mysteriously losing some items. As an official courtyard guard of the Han family, it was your duty to find this thief. Quest reward: 200 experience points. ]
Lu Yu was a little surprised that the quest had suddenly been triggered. He quickly picked up his saber and whistle and rushed to the warehouse of the logistics department. He did not find anything unusual.
When Lu Yu arrived at the main gate of the logistics department, he only saw the back of a man far away. That man was much faster than him. There was no way for him to catch up.
Lu Yu wanted to blow the whistle. When the whistle was about to reach his mouth, he suddenly stopped. He did not choose to blow the whistle.
Now that the man had run away, he had no evidence to prove who did it. If he were to rashly blow the whistle, they might blame him and then punish him.
After all, he had just entered the Han family for a few days, so it was easy for him to be suspected.
Lu Yu put away the whistle and walked to the gate of the logistics department. After careful observation, he did not find any signs of picking the lock.
After walking around the logistics department, he did not find any traces left by the thief.
Looking at the two-meter-high wall, he hesitated for a moment. He put the saber into his backpack. Then he jumped and grabbed the top of the wall and climbed into the logistics department.
The logistics department was composed of three parts. There was an accounting room in the front, an empty yard in the middle, and a warehouse in the back.
The items were taken from the accounting room. Only the workers and stewards in charge of the logistics department would enter the yard and the warehouse.
Lu Yu looked around in the yard. There was nothing suspicious. The front door and the back door of accounting room were both locked, so he could not enter.
He walked to the warehouse and found that the lock was not broken. Everything was normal.
Lu Yu wondered if the person he saw was not a thief. Or maybe the thief had the keys to all the doors in the logistics department. Otherwise, there would be traces left behind.
He left the logistics department and continued to look for the traces.
Even when the rooster crowed and the sun rose, Lu Yu did not find anything. It was like the logistics department was not broken in by a thief. It looked very normal.
Lu Yu yawned and stretched his body. When he saw the experience points received after completing the patrol mission, his sleepiness seemed to have lessened a lot.
Seeing that Steward Bai and the workers of the logistics department had started to work, Lu Yu walked towards the canteen. He planned to go back and catch some sleep after eating.
On the way, Lu Yu added 200 experience points to his cultivation technique, raising the Fierce Tiger Fist Style to third level.
[ After hard work, the Fierce Tiger Fist Style has broken through to third level, qi-blood + 8 ]
[ New skill learned– Fierce Tiger Fist Style– Fierce Tiger Roar (beginner) ]
[ After hard work, the realm has broken through to the second level of the body refining realm, qi-blood + 3 ]
His qi-blood had reached 38 points. Compared to the first level of the body refining realm, the second level of the body refining realm was much stronger.
Just from the number of qi-blood, it could be seen that the qi-blood of the second level of the body refining realm was almost twice that of the first level of the body refining realm.
