Xiao Shi will never forget the heartfelt and relieved smile on Su Wen's face, as if the person who stepped on the iron shoes finally found the treasure he wanted. However, until the end of the day, such a smile was only a flash in the pan, and it was never revealed a second time.

She was really puzzled.

That mercenary can be said to be quite ordinary in all aspects, whether it is appearance, strength, dress, or racial origin, there is almost nothing outstanding about it. However, Su Wen was unmoved when facing any applicant, as if he was looking at the green vegetable steamed buns, but when he saw this ordinary gold-level mercenary named Betty, he was as excited as if he had discovered a new world.

Naturally, among the hundreds of applicants, she was the only one chosen by Su Wen. Su Wen immediately recruited her and informed her to come to report in three days.

As for the reason for the selection, Su Wen did not say, and Betty, as the party concerned, seemed to be a little confused. It can be seen that she is just attracted by the high commission, and she came with the mentality of giving it a try, unlike those super mercenaries who are arrogant and have arrogant capital, there is a lot less sharpness and self-confidence, but there are quite a few people like her, why did Su Wen choose her?

Could it be that there is really something that I haven't discovered?

Xiao Shi searched his stomach and couldn't find Betty's shining point, so when Su Wen, who had been busy all day, stretched his waist and planned to take a hot bath, he opened his hands to block his way. She could no longer suppress her gossip spirit.

"Dad, what are your selection criteria for recruiters? If you don't make it clear, don't think about it today!"

Su Wen was furious: "Where did you get your confidence?" Anyone with a modicum of common sense will see that if I plan to move on, can you, a gangster with a mantis arm blocking a car, be able to stop it?"

A person, oh no, a slime, when he makes up his mind to do something, shows super high execution and tenacious willpower. After realizing that she couldn't make a breakthrough in the front, she cried and made trouble and hanged herself, and finally made Su Wen tired of it.

"I can't rely on it, do you, you just want to know?"

Xiao Shi nodded vigorously, and the slime liquid on his head was about to be thrown out.

Su Wen really had no choice but to talk about her.

"First of all, the Magister and below are all weak, and even if the Magister is willing to become a mercenary, he will not be seen everywhere, let alone surrender his identity for a weekly salary of 20,000 gold coins, and come to apply. So for the recruits who come today, no matter what kind of great achievements they have, no matter how strong they boast of their strength, I will treat them equally, you should know this, right?"

Xiao Shi suddenly realized: "Oh! So what moved my father was the pure heart of a child!"

"It's not all, I don't know how to read minds, how can I see the other person's heart at a glance. But you think that's how I'm just going to see it? Then you're very wrong, I've done a lot of elaborate arrangements for this recruitment - here, here, and here. ”

Su Wen pointed to the three directions in the living room, and Xiao Shi looked along, only to see a decorative bronze mirror on the wall, a bookshelf that was also used as a decoration, and a small kitchen with a hole in the west door.

"If I hadn't reminded you, would you have noticed anything wrong?"

Su Wen asked Xiao Shi.

Xiao Shi shook her head blankly, to be honest, even if Su Wen reminded her, she didn't notice anything wrong for a while, until she got closer and took a closer look, and finally found out what the so-called wrongness meant.

There was a piece of dust the size of a fingernail on the bronze mirror, a set of two history books on the shelves was out of order, and a mountain of drink boxes and bottles loomed in the kitchen—this was Xiao Shi's own handiwork.

However, these three points cannot be noticed at all unless you look closely. Especially the first two, who cares about the inconspicuous cloud of dust on the mirror and the wrong order of the two books on the shelf, do you have enough to hold on!

"You don't understand this, you have to have enough insight and care to be able to discover these details, and you can do this inside, and the vast majority of people will be like you, thinking that this is just a trivial matter that is not worth mentioning, so they will naturally ignore the past. As everyone knows, how to sweep the world without sweeping a house. Su Wen said impassionedly, "Among the more than two hundred applicants, only one person found the exam questions I had assigned as soon as she entered the room, and not only stayed in these three places for a few seconds, but also showed an intolerable look, what does this mean? It shows that she is a perfectionist!"

"Eh, that's it?"

"Of course not. Immediately afterward, I looked at her outfit, and guess what I had found, although she was wearing the armor worn by the mercenaries and the magic boosters on her hands and neck, trying to show her best like the other mercenaries who came to recruit, it was clear that this was not her true face. It takes a very keen sense of observation to be able to notice: a part of her hair shows a faint indentation, which is a phenomenon of long-term use of a cap or a headscarf, the sleeves of the light armor shirt sleeves are subconsciously folded, which is also a professional habit, and most importantly, her movements, postures and appearances throughout the whole process from entering the door, greeting me, and then sitting down all feel very familiar to me. ”

“......”

"To prove it, I offered to look at her palm. It is important to know that compared to ordinary mercenaries who fight with weapons, as elemental mages, both men and women, they will pay special attention to their palms as the output port of the elements, and will not let them suffer any damage, and even maintain them from time to time. However, the palms of this mercenary, like those of the non-magical mercenaries who often use weapons, are covered with calluses and rough skin, and are not delicate, but they are not as scarred and torn as the latter, that is to say, the reason for this is not because of the long-term use of weapons in battle, but because of the long-term labor of a peasant!

After Su Wen finished speaking, he found that Xiao Shi hadn't replied for a long time, and when he looked down, he found that this slime was expressionless and looked sluggish, as if he had lost three souls and six spirits.

"Tsk, what kind of expression do you have, I told you just now after you begged for a long time. ”

"I didn't ...... It's nothing, it's Xiao Shi's fault, I shouldn't have any expectations for my father. ”
