<h2>Chapter 507: Good Girls in Real Life</h2>


    “Ah?”


    The leader of the special police force was stunned. The color of his face changed. Why had he let his imaginations run wild, how many braincells did he kill for this? He wished he could give himself two ps across his own face. Why the hell did he have to say that? He was asking for it. Now all he had to go back with was a headache.


    …


    After returning to Crescent Bay, Xiao Luo took a cold shower in the bathroom before going to lie down on the huge and soft bed in the bedroom. The corpse of his old ssmate, Guantong, had already been turned in to the police. Although his heart felt really heavy, he had questions regarding the state he was in during the afternoon.


    At that moment, it was as if he had no control over his body and the only thought in his head was to kill.


    To kill everyone and not spare a single person. To kill every single living being there!


    And in that moment, he had gained a weird, but tremendous amount of power. It felt like if he used all his strength, he would have been able to smash the entire Wild Wolf Mountain into pieces just by himself.


    “System, what happened back there? Are my abilitiesing back to bite me?” Xiao Luomunicated with the system that was one with his body.


    “Ding, this is the Berserk State. It consumes some points to maximize the physical strength of the host, including, but not limited to: speed, power, internal force, sight, hearing, and many more.” The icy voice of the system started speaking inside Xiao Luo’s head.


    “Berserk State?”


    Xiao Luo furrowed his eyebrows, then looked at the number of points he had in his system. He still had 1.9 million points. He had 2.1 million points thest time he checked. But this amount was supposed to increase on a constant basis. Before the Berserk State, he should have roughly 2.3 million points, or even more. This would mean that he had used up about 400, 000 points just by entering Berserk State.


    “Why did the Berserk State activate? Besides, why is it that I couldn’t control my body at all when I was in the Berserk State?”


    Xiao Luo was most concerned about these two points. The system had activated the Berserk State, which he had never heard of before, without his permission and this was bothering him quite a bit.


    “Ding, when the host’s anger reaches a hundred percent, the system will automatically activate the Berserk State. In the Berserk State, all the stats in the host’s body will reach its maximum value, and the host will lose control of their body.” The system replied.


    “So, it’s just like when one only knows how to drive a car, and you have that person drive a huge truck all of a sudden, that person won’t be able to get used to it?” Xiao Luo said.


    “Ding, you can put it in that way as well.”


    “Can I switch off this Berserk State?”


    Xiao Luo hoped that he didn’t hurt unintentionally hurt someone if he lost control again. It was fine if that person was an enemy, but he would never forgive himself no matter what if he identally hurt someone he loved or a good friend.


    “Ding, the Berserk State is a hidden ability of the system. You can’t switch it off. The host will have to better control their own emotions because the Berserk State will only activate when their anger reaches a hundred percent. This way the host does not have to worry about anything else.” The system tried to assure him.


    Xiao Luo sneered: “It seems like the system that’s self-proimed to be a hundred and thousand years ahead of technology has its own negative side effect as well!”


    After saying that, he switched off the interface window that allowed him tomunicate with the system. He also turned the system into the ‘do not disturb’ mode, so that he didn’t receive notifications about the points he had gathered from the system because it could get really annoying.


    Lying on his bed and looking at the crystal chandelier on the ceiling, Xiao Luo was in a rather terrible mood. Though he might not have been very close friends with Guantong, but that was his university ssmate, and he still treated him as a close ssmate. Guantong’s passing must have had a big impact on him, if not he wouldn’t have lost control in the afternoon.


    “Xiahai won’t have any more MLM organizations, and I’ve already gotten rid of ‘Fog’ from behind the scenes. Guantong, you can rest in peace,” Xiao Luo muttered to himself, sighing.


    …


    Su Li had be a lot busier recently. From the starting up of “Liyue Media”, to choosing the office location, to recruiting talents and many more, she was in charge of everything. Besides that, she had epted a role from a TV series, and was about to board the ne soon. She was really busy now.


    Su Xiaobei had been living at Silver Dragon Vi all this while. She was living with Su Li’s mother and younger brother. She dide back once because she really missed Xiao Luo. After spending an entire day with Xiao Luo, she then went back to Silver Dragon Vi. This was Su Li’s intentions, Xiao Luo needed a career of his own and couldn’t have his life revolve around a little kid.


    Since she was being taken care of by Su Canye and her mother, Xiao Luo was not too worried about that little girl.


    Liu Yiyao and Si Yueting, two of the staff under him from Huayao Group, sent him a voice message all of a sudden. They mentioned about how the new department head had flipped out again and talked about how he should just get lost if he didn’t want to work anymore. He should stop taking up the position of a team leader if he was always not reporting for work.


    “Where’s the new department head from?”


    Xiao Luo raised his eyebrows. Shen Qingyan had already given him special permission, had this new department head not heard of it?


    “Thepany recruited him from outside, his surname is Ma, his name is Ma Dequan. I heard he opened a headhuntingpany in the past, so hiswork is wide and is really capable. Since taking over, the sales department has been doing pretty well. Targets that used to take a month and a half to achieve can be achieved in just a month now. Because of that, CEO Shen has even written a special post in thepany’s forum praising his performance,” Si Yueting said.


    “Just because CEO Shen has praised him, he is raising his tail up high now. He basically has been using you as a negative example and won’t stop mentioning you on a daily basis. He keeps saying that you’re a typical example of a chicken that upies a nest withoutying any eggs,” Liu Yiyao reported.


    Xiao Luo giggled: “Does he not know that the reason I have so much freedom is because CEO Shen has already approved of it?”


    “I’m sure he knows, but the new boss has to crack the whip three times. Since there’s nowhere else for him to burn, he’s burning you instead,” Si Yueting said.


    Xiao Luo was stunned, thenughed and said: “Alright then, I’ll head over to thepany in the afternoon.”


    There was no other reason as to why he was going to thepany but to quit this job that had given him so much freedom. Firstly, it was because of Guantong. It was a sad ce that would remind him of his ssmate. Secondly, it was because he no longer saw any reason in continuing with the job. He had already given in to Su Li once, but he was not going to keep giving in to her for the rest of his life and make himself feel miserable.


    “Yay, Team Leader! We haven’t seen you in such a long time, we’ve missed you so much,” Si Yueting said whileughing.


    “That’s right that’s right! Our Team Leader is so handsome, and so sophisticated. Even if I had to be your mistress and serve you every single day, I’d do it willingly,” Liu Yiyao said in a seductive tone.


    Xiao Luo cut them off in one sentence: “Alright, you girls are like female hooligans when you speak, but are actually good girls in real life.”


    The two women were surprise and kept quiet. They could only chuckle a little over the phone. Because of the nature of their job, they had developed an upational disease, and that was to subconsciously try to get close with other people. The methods they used were ambiguous. Everyone in the office saw them as a loose and fickle person and had most probably slept with multiple clients. Xiao Luo was the only one who understood them and could tell who they really were as a person.


    “Team Leader, do you know that we’re really touched now. If you’re right in front of me now, I’ll hug you no matter what,” Liu Yiyao said.


    Si Yueting also said: “Team Leader, it’d have been great if you weren’t already married, I’ll go after you, and pester you so much so that you’ll fall for me.”


    “…” Xiao Luo had nothing to say.


    “Right, Team Leader, I heard something happened to Guantong?”


    Liu Yiyao became serious all of a sudden, “The death notice was sent to ourpany. Just what in the world happened? Why did he… die all of a sudden?”


    Xiao Luo couldn’t help but sigh: “To be honest, I have no idea what exactly happened either.”
