A Low Rank Female Goes Viral Across the Galaxy-Chapter 34: Bodyguard

Jiang Qin scrolled on her phone in the break room, bored, for quite a while.

Suddenly, a mechanical voice sounded in her ear.

[Ding! Reputation value has reached one million. The Shop has been upgraded.]

[Upgrade failed...]

[As compensation for the error, a grand gift package has been issued to the host. It has been delivered to your temporary inventory.]

Jiang Qin: "..."

’It was like seeing her golden finger arrive, only for it to take a wrong turn midway, but it still tossed her a few flecks of gold dust as a consolation prize.’

Since she was out, she didn’t dare to check what was inside the gift package. She could only wait eagerly, hoping to get home soon.

After another long wait,

she finally saw You Wei walk over, wiping away sweat and leading three men.

’Hmm... three handsome men.’

But there were basically no ugly people in the Interstellar era, unless they simply didn’t care about their appearance.

So, Jiang Qin was only momentarily surprised and had no other thoughts on the matter.

To be honest, having spent years surviving on the brink of death, she didn’t have the slightest inclination for romance.

Even though this place was very friendly to females, she never dared to let her guard down, let alone trust anyone.

It was rare for a female to be betrayed by their partner, but it wasn’t unheard of.

After letting her mind wander for a few seconds, she heard You Wei’s introduction. "Xiao Qing, these three are Bounty Hunters I found. Starting today, they’ll be your bodyguards."

"The current contract is for one year. We’ll see if we want to renew it after that."

"Uncle, why did you suddenly hire bodyguards for me?"

You Wei hesitated for a moment, then gestured with his eyes for the three men to stand guard at the door.

After sending them away, he asked uneasily, "Xiao Qing, did you know that your Spiritual Body came out on its own while you were singing?"

Jiang Qin was stunned to hear this.

Although she had been kept in the dark by the Jiang Family in her previous life, she had done her best to learn about the Interstellar world after she left.

So she knew very well under what circumstances a Spiritual Body could emerge.

Currently, a Spiritual Body could only leave the mind during a deep soothing.

’But I was just singing...’

Seeing her expression, You Wei understood. "You didn’t know."

Jiang Qin frowned and shook her head, a heavy feeling settling in her heart.

’It’s not scary being like everyone else. What’s scary is being the special one in the crowd, especially when that specialty involves soothing.’ 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

’The Interstellar era is no peaceful and prosperous age. It’s all too common for people to just disappear.’

No wonder You Wei had to hire Bounty Hunters for her. And judging by the aura of those three, their levels probably weren’t low.

For this, Jiang Qin was grateful.

’These days, what kind of boss constantly overextends himself to take care of an employee?’

But You Wei had already overextended himself many times.

Although the bar had gained popularity because of her, she had only been working there for a few days. The money he’d earned was surely less than what he’d spent on her.

First, an advance on her salary, then a custom-made instrument, and now hiring Advanced bodyguards for her...

’The future is so uncertain. Who knows if You Wei will ever make back the money he’s invested in me?’

"I don’t know why it happened either, but that doesn’t change the fact that you’re being watched now."

This was also why You Wei had spent a fortune hiring Bounty Hunters.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t have been willing to spend so much money. After all, it’s not like the bar lacks its own security.

"Don’t worry. As long as you work at Moonlight for another day, I, You Wei, will find a way to protect you for that day."

You Wei comforted her, "You don’t need to be too nervous. Those people won’t dare to come after you openly."

"And if they try anything behind our backs, we won’t be afraid of them."

"Okay."

Despite this, Jiang Qin was still very uneasy.

In the end, it all came down to her being powerless. So what if she was a female Beastman? She could only play a support role for the males from the rear.

’Perhaps this is why females have such a high status.’

They have almost no combat ability. The males’ spiritual power is a weapon, while theirs is just a repair tool.

’Is it because the tools that can repair the weapons are so rare that they must be protected...?’

"Don’t overthink it. If you’re really scared, worst-case scenario, we can move the bar to the Main Star. The security there might be a little better."

You Wei had actually considered this.

Someone else might not have the qualifications to open a shop on the Main Star, but he did.

Even though the price would be returning to that suffocating family of his.

Jiang Qin shook her head and refused. "Thank you, Uncle You Wei, but you don’t have to change your plans for my sake."

"If someone with ulterior motives wants to harm me, it won’t matter whether I live on the Main Star or a Second-class Star."

"Rather than constantly moving and hiding in the dark, it’s better to find a way to become stronger and protect myself properly."

Since she couldn’t compete physically, Jiang Qin figured she might as well work hard to earn more money and buy more high-tech gear to protect herself.

’There are so many powerful weapons in the Interstellar era. I refuse to believe a Beastman’s body can withstand something like a laser cannon.’

"Besides, at the end of the day, they just want to know why I can make my Spiritual Body emerge while singing."

"It’s not that mysterious. If they really want to know, I’m willing to share my experience unconditionally."

Jiang Qin felt that anyone with half a brain could probably guess why.

’To kill a C-level female for an answer that’s practically out in the open... I don’t think the officials would do that.’

Only those organizations conducting illegal experiments in secret would be interested in her.

After all, they’re just a bunch of lunatics. There’s no reasoning with them.

***

After her talk with You Wei, Jiang Qin left with her three bodyguards.

The three bodyguards were: Shi Lichuan, an S-level male, 26 years old.

Although he was the strongest of the three, he had a youthful face, and his short, choppy black hair made him look like a clean-cut college student.

Because of his black hair, Jiang Qin asked what kind of Beastman he was.

She then learned that he was a Bone Armor Bear.

Jiang Qin had seen this type of bear before.

’If she had to describe it, it was like a giant panda wearing white bone armor!’

’No wonder his hair is black and he has a baby face...’

As for the other two males, they were both A-level males.

Kui Wen, a Flame Bird Beastman, 32 years old.

Ba Zi, a Sea Snake Beastman, 28 years old.

The three of them were a team of Golden Level Bounty Hunters.

Normally, they didn’t take on long-term protection missions like this.

However, You Wei had once saved their team’s lives, so they didn’t mind spending some time to repay the favor.

This was also why You Wei had sought them out.

If it had been any other Bounty Hunters, he would have had to worry about the possibility of them being bribed.

He had no such worries about Shi Lichuan’s team. He trusted the three of them completely.

You Wei had told her all of this, mainly to put her at ease so that she could choose to trust these three men.

On the way back, Shi Lichuan kept stealing glances at Jiang Qin.

He was thinking, ’Why did Uncle You Wei say this mission was extremely dangerous?’

’It’s just protecting a C-level female...’

’It’s not like she’s an S-level.’

’Of course, if she were S-level, it wouldn’t be their team’s turn anyway.’
