The Nandu Snake Demon lurked behind the fence, silently watching him.

Lin Qiye squinted his eyes, standing outside the fence, also staring into the eyes of the Nandu Snake Demon.

In his field of vision, a familiar panel had already unfolded.

“

Criminal: Nandu Snake Demon

Choice: As the mythical creature you killed with your own hands, you have the right to decide its fate:

Choice 1: Erase its soul directly, completely extinguishing it from the world.

Choice 2: Increase its ‘loyalty value’ to 60, and hire it as a hospital caregiver. It can take care of patients while providing you with a certain level of protection.

Current loyalty value: 0/85

“

After reading this information, Lin Qiye’s eyebrows slightly raised.

This task was different from the last one. If he remembered correctly, the last caregiver standard was “fear value,” but this time it became “loyalty value.”

In other words, the hospital had different caregiver standards for different mythical creatures.

Moreover, the loyalty value this time was divided into two parts: one was 0, and the other was 85. If Lin Qiye guessed correctly, it was because the Nandu Snake Demon’s original form was divided into two different consciousnesses.

The first value came from the Nandu Snake Demon itself, and the second value came from the independent consciousness of “Li Yifei.”

“I think you already know your own fate.”

After a while, Lin Qiye spoke slowly.

“If you kill me, Li Yifei will die too.” The Nandu Snake Demon stared into Lin Qiye’s eyes.

“Oh?” Lin Qiye smiled faintly, “Do you think I care about his life and death?

Indeed, if he dies, I will be troubled for a while, but that’s all. Our relationship… isn’t that close, as you should know.”

The Nandu Snake Demon fell into silence.

As an existence that had been observing everything from behind, it knew every move of Li Yifei. From the time they met until now, it had only been a little over half a month. To say that their relationship was close was nonsense.

Moreover, Li Yifei had even abandoned him and ran away once.

The Nandu Snake Demon wasn’t so foolish to bet everything on their relationship.

“What do you want?”

“I think you have misunderstood something.” Lin Qiye calmly spoke, “Now it’s your turn to show me your value. If your value doesn’t meet my expectations…

Sorry, my hospital doesn’t keep idle people.”

The Nandu Snake Demon paused for a moment and slowly spoke, “I am good at disguises. I can plant snake seeds and excel in infiltration.”

“Not enough.”

“I am good at planning and can give you advice.”

“…What are you good at?”

“…I didn’t say anything.” The Nandu Snake Demon almost forgot that his plan was exposed, “But brainstorming is not a bad thing. Your wisdom alone may not be comprehensive. Our ways of thinking and levels are different, and perhaps I can provide you with some references.”

“Well, that’s not bad. Anything else?”

“Although my current form has low combat power, once I mature, my original form will also have powerful combat abilities. Moreover, I can shed my skin and am difficult to kill.”

“Continue.”

“…That’s all.”

Lin Qiye thought for a moment, “Can you entertain the elderly?”

“…I can’t.” The Nandu Snake Demon’s mind almost couldn’t keep up, “But Li Yifei is very good at it.”

“That’s enough.”

After a moment of pause, Lin Qiye spoke again, “You can stay, but there are additional conditions.”

“What conditions?”

“Unless necessary, let Li Yifei take control of this body.”

The Nandu Snake Demon hesitated for a while, then nodded, “…Okay, I agree.”

Freedom was indeed important, but it didn’t want to be scattered. Besides, Li Yifei was also a part of it, so it wasn’t too difficult to let him have the body.

Lin Qiye nodded and reached out his hand, grabbing a piece of parchment and a pen out of thin air.

“This is your labor contract. Take a look, and if there are no problems, sign it.” Lin Qiye acted like a big boss, casually throwing the parchment in his hand.

The Nandu Snake Demon took the paper in his hand and carefully read it. His expression became lively.

Rather than a labor contract, it was more like a contract of servitude. It listed a long list of obligations that the Nandu Snake Demon must fulfill, including but not limited to “must unconditionally obey Director Lin Qiye’s orders,” “must not harm or intend to harm Director Lin Qiye and his interests,” “must not damage public property in the hospital,” “must regularly clean the hospital,” “must prepare breakfast for the patients in the morning”…In the additional clause, there was a sentence, “In non-essential situations, the personality ‘Li Yifei’ must control the body.”

And in the column of obligations that Lin Qiye should fulfill, there was only a solitary “None.”

This was undoubtedly a ruthless one-sided contract that exploited the caregiver’s interests, the kind that was so dark it was infuriating!

However, the Nandu Snake Demon had no other choice at the moment and could only grit its teeth and sign its name.

The moment the name was signed, the parchment automatically ignited, and the strange runes around the cell gradually dissipated, and the cell door automatically opened.

At the same time, the body of the Nandu Snake Demon quickly returned to its human form, and it was now wearing a blue caregiver’s uniform, with a black nameplate on the chest of the uniform.

— Caregiver 001.

Li Yifei looked blankly at the clothes on his body and scratched his head.

He had heard the conversation between the Nandu Snake Demon and Lin Qiye clearly and basically understood the current situation… He had fallen from being Lin Qiye’s classmate to being his subordinate.

“How does it feel to be resurrected?” Lin Qiye walked up with a smile.

“Not bad…” Li Yifei said with a bitter smile, “Boss Lin, don’t exploit me too much in the future, I can’t take it…”

“Call me Director.” Lin Qiye patted his shoulder and turned to walk out of the cell, “Follow me, let me introduce you to this hospital.”

Li Yifei, dressed in the caregiver’s uniform, sighed and quickly followed Lin Qiye.

“This area is the ward, only one room is open now, and there is only one patient in this hospital, her name is Nyx, you can check the medical record I wrote for her condition later.

Over there is the activity area, you can take her to watch TV or play chess when you have nothing to do, don’t let her always stare at the vase in the yard, in case her mental illness is not cured, and she gets dementia…

This is the pharmacy, these few medicines, give her three times a day, two pills each time…

…”

As Lin Qiye introduced, Li Yifei was completely numb.

What the hell is this place?

“Mother, I found you a companion, from now on he will accompany you instead of me.”

Finally, Lin Qiye brought Li Yifei to Nyx and introduced with a smile.

Nyx stared at Li Yifei, seemingly pondering something.

After a while, she opened her mouth wide,

And exclaimed in surprise:

“Grandson! Grandma has found you!!!”
