Chapter 681 Prejudice and Gentlemen

Faced with Lyon's suggestion to make a nest, the female bait cleaner couldn't help but break down on the spot.

No... So either you eat me or the fish eat me? If I don't feed it something today, will this matter go wrong?

"Don't get me wrong, this is a serious suggestion."

Looking at the female cleaner whose mouth was uncontrollably drooping and seemed like she might burst into tears at any moment, Leon organized his words a little and promised seriously:

"Although I can't guarantee a 100% success rate, if you can jump down one more time, I can at least be 70% sure that we can get out of the fish tank and pass the Pisces Palace's assessment."

As long as I jump down, I can pass the test?

After seeing Yanang's sincere expression, the female cleaner was stunned for a moment, and then asked doubtfully:

"You mean... you already know what this test is about?"

"It's just speculation at the moment, but it should be very close to the truth."

After smiling at the short female cleaner, Leon asked back:

"Do you remember what Director Pisces said before he left?"

Before the Pisces director left?

The female cleaner recalled what she had said, and then said uncertainly:
"Let's cheer us up?"

"Um...one sentence earlier."

"There's movement in other fish tanks, she wants to go check it out?"

"Yes, this sentence is the key."

After nodding slightly, Leon explained:

“Director Pisces’ words prove that there are other cleaners who are being assessed with us.

And if the specific content of the assessment is just to watch how the fish swim by the lake, then why do we have to separate everyone? Can't we just throw everyone into a fish tank?"

"It seems to be true! So..."

"So the Pisces Palace assessment should require cooperation, and at least two people should be involved."

After giving his own judgment, Leon turned his head to look at the lionhead goldfish in the lake, and said with a firm expression:

"Although the secrets of these fish tanks are not easy to discover, they are not difficult to see through if someone reminds you. In addition, not every person has a fish tank, so the directors separated the people taking the assessment. It is definitely not because they are afraid that the cleaners taking the assessment will 'copy the answers' from each other, but there are other reasons.

Of all the reasons I can think of, the most reasonable one is that the Pisces Secret Art cannot be performed by a single person, at least not when you are just learning it. You need at least one person to cooperate with you in order to successfully learn it."

At least one person is required to cooperate...

After thinking about Leon's thoughts for a while, the short female cleaner said uncertainly:
"You mean... if you want to use the Pisces secret technique, one person needs to interfere and another person needs to observe?"

"Correct."

Seeing the female cleaner who gave a summary after he only mentioned it briefly, Leon couldn't help but flash a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then nodded slightly and said:
“That’s what you mean… After all, if even you and I, with our mystical talents, can’t find the ‘real fish’, then it will be even more difficult for other cleaners.

Besides this, there are many other doubts.

For example, why did Director Pisces not save you immediately after seeing you being chased by the goldfish? It is very likely that in her eyes, you being chased by the goldfish was a step towards breaking the secret technique, so she was not in a hurry to save you. Also, earlier, you clearly showed resistance to me and didn’t want to come with me, but Director Sagittarius still forced us to come to Pisces Palace together. I guess he did this to make up the number of people. "

"what?"

Hearing Leon mention the previous incident, the short female cleaner couldn't help but shudder, and then whispered with an embarrassed look:

“Mr. Leon, I…I’m not resisting you, it’s just…it’s just…”

"You just heard some bad rumors from others, right?"

"Forehead……"

"Those rumors are all false, and are basically prejudice against me."

Leon sighed helplessly, then asked back:

"Those people who called me the God of Food and spread rumors that I would eat people when I was hungry, aren't they still alive and well now? If I were really that crazy, would they still be alive today?"

"But...but more than one person said so..."

Facing Leon's defense, the short female cleaner shrank her neck and then said carefully:
"For example, in our Aquarius Branch, there were two seniors who participated in the previous promotion assessment. After they came back, they swore that they were really swallowed by you and almost died..."

"They did swallow it, but which one of them really died?"

Hearing this, Leon couldn't help but complain speechlessly:
“The situation was critical and I was protecting them!

If I hadn't swallowed it in time, with their level, would they be able to withstand the attack of the Nightmare King? Or withstand the siege of millions of nightmares? If I wasn't there for the last promotion assessment, it would be great if half of the candidates could come back! "

"..."

It seems... that makes sense?

Looking at Leon in front of her, who looked unhappy but had clear eyes and a lucid demeanor, without any trace of madness at all, the petite female cleaner couldn't help but nodded and tightened Leon's coat.

The seniors who participated in the promotion assessment last time did return safely from the dream world. Apart from some who were too frightened, they didn’t even suffer any injuries. And Mr. Lyon just lent me his coat after my clothes got wet. He was quite gentlemanly, so he…

"Okay, stop talking nonsense and get in the water first!"

"?!"

Looking at the stunned female cleaner, Leon thought for a moment and explained:

"It's not that I won't take care of you. It's mainly because you've been in the water once before and you're already wet. Plus, you've been chased by fish once, so you're more familiar with the situation. So it's more appropriate for you to go down than for me."

"..."

I admit that what you said makes some sense...but I am a girl, and you look older than me. At this moment, wouldn't a man usually behave like a gentleman, right?
After looking at the goldfish in the lake with fear, the little female cleaner couldn't help but turn her head and said helplessly:
"Mr. Lyon, how about..."

"How about this."

After taking a look at the sticky cleaning lady, Leon thought that Anna would not be willing to spend money to wash clothes. If she was really swallowed by a fish, she would probably continue to wash her clothes by hand in this cold weather. So he said something nonsense decisively:

"I take back my previous explanation. Aren't those people in your branch office just rumors? For example, I really will eat people when I'm hungry... and I didn't have breakfast today!"

"..."

Liar! You're definitely saying that because you don't want to get in the water!
