Chapter 13: Kill Value Rising — Someone Is Stalking Me
1187 Words
Young Master Su, this way please.”
“Manager Liu, don’t call me young master. Just Su Ye is fine.”
“Then I’ll call you Student Su. What kind of part‑time work are you looking for?”
“Something I can kill.”
Manager Liu froze for a second.
He stared at the strikingly handsome young man before him. He never expected such a flawless face to deliver such a brutal line.
Still, Su Ye was a friend the young lady had personally recommended. He had to meet his request.
Manager Liu led Su Ye straight to the back kitchen and pointed at the fish tanks lined against the wall.
“Student Su, once an order pops up on the screen, the chef will send the requirements here. You grab the corresponding seafood, clean and prepare it…”
He gestured toward a monitor on the wall and walked Su Ye through the workflow step by step. Then he called over a burly man standing nearby.
“Lao Zhao, this is our new part‑timer, Su Ye. He’s new here, look out for him.”
Lao Zhao watched Manager Liu personally escort the good‑looking teen. He instantly realised this boy had an unusual background.
“Got it, Manager Liu. I’ll take good care of him.”
Su Ye quickly familiarised himself with the whole process. No wonder Golden Moon Seafood Restaurant ranked first in Fangyuan City. The kitchen was spotless, tidy, and fully modernised.
Right then, an order flashed on the screen.
【Ten Silver‑Scaled Fish】
Su Ye scooped ten fish out of the tank with a net.
He stunned them, slit their bellies, gutted them, and scraped off the scales with smooth, practiced moves.
【Kill Value +0.2】
He really gained kill points.
Even more than from prawns.
Motivation surged through him. His knife moved fast. In moments all ten fish were cleaned, placed into boxes and sent rolling down the conveyor belt straight to the chefs.
No need to talk to the kitchen staff at all. This would make farming kill value far more efficient.
Su Ye was quite satisfied.
Ding.
Another fresh request popped up.
【Twenty Black Tiger Prawns】
Before Lao Zhao could offer to split the work, Su Ye had already netted the prawns and started processing them at lightning speed.
【Kill Value +0.1】
Lao Zhao stared in pure shock.
He’d assumed this elegant, good‑looking boy was some rich heir killing time for fun. Instead, Su Ye worked with incredible speed.
That suited Lao Zhao just fine. No messy mistakes to clean up. He happily returned to his own tasks, glancing over every now and then to keep an eye on the newcomer.
They kept working until eleven at night.
Su Ye finally set down his knife.
After one long evening, his kill value had jumped by 24.2 points.
At this rate…
In just three or four days, he could raise his cultivation level once more.
Five days would earn one extra proficiency point for his combat skill.
The college entrance exam was still three months away.
He could easily reach the Ninth Layer of the Origin Realm before the exam. He might even break through to the Transcendent rank.
Unfortunately, the deeper path after Transcendent could only be systematically taught once he entered a martial arts university.
Still, leftover kill value would not go to waste. He could keep upgrading his Basic Combat Arts.
The Blue Star Martial Arts University entrance exam scored applicants on four categories:
Written culture test + Martial Theory
Physical fitness
Combat technique
Battle performance
Combat skill and real‑world fighting heavily relied on his Basic Combat Arts.
Su Ye quickly planned how he would spend his kill value. He did not notice Manager Liu walking toward him.
“Student Su.”
Su Ye snapped out of his thoughts.
“Manager Liu.”
Manager Liu sighed inwardly. Truly the young lady’s friend — his casual arrogance felt completely natural.
“You’ve worked hard today. Here is your pay for the shift.”
Manager Liu pulled out his phone and transferred the money.
Pay?
Su Ye had been so focused on farming kill value he had forgotten to ask about wages.
He checked his phone and confirmed the transfer.
Three hundred yuan.
That was generous.
If he worked every evening for a month, he would earn nine thousand yuan.
His father Su Xiangdong exhausted himself doing construction labour, only making seven thousand a month.
“This money…”
Su Ye knew for certain this special treatment came from Xiao Qiyue.
Manager Liu watched his reaction and grew even more convinced Su Ye was a wealthy young man here for experience. His smile turned warmer.
“Sorry I didn’t settle the pay rate earlier, Student Su. This is our standard daily wage for part‑timers — three hundred yuan, paid each day. I hope it meets your expectations.”
“Be careful heading home. The streets aren’t safe late at night.”
Su Ye held back a wry smile.
The money was more than fine. He almost wanted to recommend this job to his father.
But the thought faded quickly.
He could not keep relying on favours from Xiao Qiyue.
If he wanted to lift his family out of poverty, he would have to rely on himself.
“Thank you, Manager Liu.”
Su Ye slipped his phone away.
He silently swore he would repay Xiao Qiyue for this kindness one day.
Just one single night, and he already owed her two favours.
……
After bidding Manager Liu farewell, Su Ye carried a staff gift box of grilled seafood. He headed home. He had messaged his mother Liu Ruxin earlier to tell her he would be late and they should rest without waiting. Yet he knew his mother would stay up for him.
The thought of a lamp burning at home for him filled his chest with warmth. He quickened his pace.
Then —
Su Ye halted.
Someone was following him.
Could it be the serial killer who had been hunting young girls in the city lately? Manager Liu’s warning echoed in his mind.
He quickly shook the thought away.
After awakening his vampire physique, his hearing had been drastically enhanced in darkness.
The stalkers tried their best to hide, yet Su Ye caught the faint sound of footsteps and shifting wind.
Not one pair of eyes on him.
Two separate groups tracked his every move.
One pack was heavy‑footed, large in numbers.
The second trail belonged to a lone figure, footsteps silent and far deadlier. Both teams were here specifically for him.
Neither group resembled the girl‑targeting murderer.
This just got interesting.
Su Ye slowly stopped walking.
Seven or eight young men blocked the road ahead.
Five more cut off his escape from behind.
“Su Ye?”
“That’s me.”
“Kid, you offended the wrong people. Our boss wants your legs. Don’t fight us, make this easy.”
“Hmph. You talk too much.”
