Gatekeeper Of All Realms Chapter 146

Hotel.

The carriage drove directly to the hotel, and only then did Shen Ye slowly get out.

“Rest well, come find me at the song and dance troupe tomorrow.”

Madam Daisy’s voice came from inside the carriage.

“Yes,” Shen Ye replied.

Lily, sitting beside Madam Daisy, smiled at him.

“Baxter, I look forward to rehearsing with you tomorrow,” she waved at Shen Ye.

“See you tomorrow, Lily,” Shen Ye lowered the carriage curtain.

The carriage then slowly drove away.

Shen Ye walked into the hotel, slowly went upstairs, and arrived at his room door.

He took out his room card, swiped it on the door, and the door opened with a “click.”

A strong body odor emanated from the room.

This was the smell of Orcs!

…Last time it was an assassin, this time it’s Orcs, are they not going to let him rest!

Shen Ye pressed his hand into the void, and with his other hand, pressed the Count’s emblem on his finger—

Summon!

Bang—

With a soft sound, the protective power from the Phantom Manor immediately appeared before Shen Ye’s eyes.

It was a small, sharp-dagger-wielding zombie!

“Kevin!”

“Baxter!”

They both shouted in unison.

“You summoned me? How are you qualified to summon me!” Kevin was full of murderous intent.

Shen Ye’s mind had already turned around by now.

He showed the emblem on his finger and said:

“This is the Count’s decree—after all, my strength is extremely low, and the Count intends to protect me.”

The zombie Kevin stared at the emblem on his hand, slightly stunned, momentarily unable to react.

However, from inside the door, a deep, muffled voice came:

“Respected Baxter, we have come uninvited, please don’t mind.”

—The other party already knew what was happening outside the door!

“Let’s go in.”

Shen Ye stood still and said to Kevin.

Kevin had already digested the whole incident by now, silently opened the door, and entered first.

An orc was sitting in the room.

There was a long scar on his face, running from his forehead, across his nose, all the way down to his chin.

This made him appear even more ferocious; even when he smiled, there was a frightening quality to it.

His body was quite robust, and the wide two-seater sofa could barely accommodate him.

“Let me introduce myself, I am Emutu, the second son of the Orc Chieftain. I came here specifically to invite you to join our Orc tribe’s Green Earth Troupe.”

The orc Emutu spoke directly.

This was too straightforward.

Shen Ye was caught off guard, and couldn’t help but slightly twist his ring.

Big Skeleton’s telepathy immediately echoed in his ear:

“Strange, orcs used to disdain song and dance; they have their own shamans.”

Shen Ye then said,

“I remember the Orc race has shamans, and you didn’t value the profession of singers in the past.”

Emutu explained: “In the past, we would gather in front of the shaman’s tent to sing and dance, drawing strength from it, striving to gain resonance with the pháp giới, and enhance our power.”

“But now, it’s time for us Orcs to change.”

“Change?” Shen Ye repeated.

He looked at Kevin, who also had a bewildered expression.

“Indeed…”

Emutu moved his body, trying to appear more patient: “The shaman doesn’t support 996, saying it goes against the will of the ancestral spirits, contrary to the meaning of life coming into this world, and will crush the orcs’ souls, leaving them without a future.”

Shen Ye subconsciously said, “Your shaman is quite insightful.”

Emutu grinned, revealing sharp teeth: “All the shamans are dead.”

Shen Ye was stunned once again.

No way…

Could it be that there were problems within the Orcs?

But they are clearly arrogant now, not even putting the Count of the Undead Empire in their eyes.

“The Chieftain is about to conquer the entire world, how can those noisy fellows disrupt military morale?”

“So we abandoned the shamans.”

“Respected Mr. Baxter, I have long heard of the reputation of the Night Rose Troupe, and you are Madam Daisy’s top singer—”

“I sincerely invite you to join us Orcs and become the leader of our Green Earth Troupe!”

Green Sky…

You’re even more direct than when I learned “Gloom Whisper.”

“Forget it, I’m a vampire, it’s not good for me to go to your orc territory, and Madam Daisy has bestowed upon me the grace of recognition,” Shen Ye said.

“It’s fine, we’ll pay—how many bone coins is your monthly salary?” Emutu said.

“The Count is also very good to me, and even specially sent someone to protect me,” Shen Ye said.

“We pay in gold,” Emutu emphasized.

Shen Ye raised his eyebrows.

That’s fine!

If not for acquiring enough materials here for Big Skeleton to go to Hell…

Wait!

He could also procure materials from the Orcs.

And without being monitored!

The Big Skeleton’s voice suddenly rang out: “No, don’t be tempted, the Orc race doesn’t have the spellcasting materials I need, only the Undead do!”

The door to earning gold slowly closed.

Shen Ye’s heart sank, and he coughed lightly, “Emutu, thank you for thinking so highly of me. How about this—”

“I usually work here, but if you have any song and dance needs over there, I’ll go over and help, considering it as extra overtime.”

“Overtime?” Emutu said with a sarcastic tone, “You think this counts as overtime?”

“Otherwise?” Shen Ye asked.

“In our Orc race, you have to work from 8 AM to midnight every day, 7 days a week!” Emutu said.

Kevin couldn’t help but interject, “This isn’t 996!”

Shen Ye’s body trembled, and he blurted out, “807!”

—This is a more brutal working method than 996, dominating among the enterprises of various capitalists, only slightly weaker than 007!

Emutu grinned menacingly: “Mr. Baxter, you truly have a talent for summing up the key points.”

Thump!

A heavy, half-human-tall bag was taken out and placed on the ground.

The bag’s opening was revealed.

Inside was a heavy pile of gold!

“How about it? As long as you accept our work system, you can come work at the Green Earth Troupe!”

“—These are all your rewards!”

Emutu said loudly.

The glitter of gold dazzled Kevin’s eyes, and he couldn’t help but gasp, muttering:

“So much gold…”

Shen Ye, however, took a few steps forward and reached into the bag.

Clink—

Amidst a golden glow, countless shimmering silver lights flashed.

“Why is it all silver underneath?”

Shen Ye sneered.

Speaking of this, Emutu showed no embarrassment at being exposed, and even seemed to revel in it:

“Mr. Baxter, these are just your basic wages.”

“—You must complete various tasks assigned by the Chieftain, and after passing the Chieftain’s assessment, you will finally receive a full bag of gold!”

“This isn’t just drawing a big pie, it’s a—”

“KPI,” Shen Ye interjected.

Emutu was stunned, and asked in confusion, “What is KPI?”

Shen Ye shook his head, not continuing.

This world already has 996 and 807; even performance evaluations have emerged.

Orcs…

Too evil.

“I will not join you, give up on this idea,” Shen Ye said.

Emutu was somewhat surprised and asked, “Aren’t you a poor vampire from the countryside? Logically speaking, you should be one of us! Why refuse?”

“My life is more important than the reward; I don’t want to die of exhaustion,” Shen Ye said.

The air seemed to solidify.

“Is that so? That’s very disappointing,” Emutu murmured softly.

The next instant.

A sudden change occurred—

Emutu pulled out a money bag and threw it towards Kevin.

Kevin caught it, and asked in surprise, “What’s wrong?”

“You go out for a bit,” Emutu said.

“I am ordered to protect him.”

“—Actually, you dislike him very much, don’t you? As long as he disappears from here, you can pin everything on us Orcs, and we will not defend ourselves.”

Shen Ye suddenly shouted, “Kevin! You should protect me, not listen to the Orcs!”

“No,” Emutu pointed at the door, “Get out, zombie, I promise he will always be a slave of the Orc race, toiling until death and never returning to the Eternal Night City.”

“Are you sure?” Kevin said.

“Have you not heard of our Orcs’ methods?” Emutu’s face revealed a cruel expression.

“Hmph.” Kevin weighed the money bag, then turned and walked out.

“Farewell, Mr. Baxter.”

He said, closing the door considerately.

Shen Ye was furious and dismayed, shouting, “This is Eternal Night City, how dare you kidnap me?”

—That’s it, Kevin, you’re dead.

He silently said in his heart.

Emutu, however, said:

“Mr. Baxter, you haven’t learned any combat skills, so for your dignity, please don’t act rashly.”
