After leaving the manager’s office, Luo Heng wiped the sweat off his forehead.

He had never seen such an easygoing manager before.

However, if it were himself, and a subordinate proactively suggested working overtime for free, he might also be enthusiastic, right?

Shaking his head to dismiss these thoughts, Luo Heng needed to start considering the second issue.

How to tell the team members, who are currently on holiday, that their day off tomorrow is canceled.

Although two hundred life coins have a high chance of success, it’s normal for there to be some discontent. Reducing their complaints would test him as a captain.

As Luo Heng was pondering, a figure suddenly walked towards him, blocking his path.

Looking up, it was none other than his right hand, the most promising candidate for the Level 2 Venue Assistant, Xue Mei.

However, Xue Mei seemed somewhat hesitant, as if she wanted to say something but couldn’t find the words.

This was the first time Luo Heng had seen Xue Mei like this.

"What’s wrong? Is there something you want to tell me?"

"Well... Captain Luo, I have a request." Xue Mei thought for a moment and said.

A request? What kind of request requires such hesitation and embarrassment?

Could it be that?

Thinking about it, it makes sense. Ever since he knew Xue Mei, she hadn’t been in a relationship.

As toolmen, having personal rights stripped away is true, but most of the time, Paradise is fairly lenient about such matters.

So here’s the problem.

If Xue Mei wants me to help with her physical needs, do I agree or not?!

At that moment, Xue Mei gathered her courage, finally ready to speak, but Luo Heng quickly raised a hand to stop her.

"Hold on!" Luo Heng raised his right hand, looked down, and showed a troubled expression. "I need to think about it!"

"Captain Luo, you... already know..."

Xue Mei’s voice trailed off, "I know it’s difficult for you, but I really need it!"

In the end, Xue Mei suddenly raised her head, her voice resolute.

"Don’t worry, don’t worry, I know you need it a lot..." Luo Heng waved his hand.

How bottled up had she become!

As a captain, he hadn’t paid much attention to the physical and mental health of his team, a serious dereliction of duty!

With this thought, Luo Heng took a deep breath.

He finally made a decision.

"Alright! I agree to your request!"

"But I’m not just anyone." Luo Heng continued, looking up at Xue Mei.

The young woman before him had fair skin, a perfectly toned body from constant training, and was suitable for raising a family.

Living together with Xue Mei in Pure Beauty Paradise seemed quite appealing.

Xue Mei couldn’t guess Luo Heng’s thoughts. Her face beamed the moment she saw him nod in agreement.

"I understand, I understand!"

"Captain Luo, you’re not just anyone, and I know my request is indeed a lot."

"Which is why I’m willing to pay a compensation of a hundred life coins for each team member!"

Wait, what?

I’m solving your physical needs, why are you giving money to others? Shouldn’t that be for me...no, wait! Why money, is it just a transaction?

Luo Heng thought about this, and his expression turned dark.

I want to be your boyfriend, you see me as a gigolo?

No, that’s not right!

Xue Mei said she’d give money to other team members, does that mean... I alone can’t satisfy her? She wants several?

Xue Mei, oh Xue Mei, who would have thought!

Usually so cold, unsmiling, rigid, and serious about work.

Never expected such a contrasting side.

"If that’s the case, then it’s not just for me to decide." Luo Heng sighed, "I need to ask if the other team members are okay with it."

"If a hundred life coins isn’t enough, I can offer more! But my funds are limited..."

Xue Mei lowered her head again.

"But, as long as I can convince everyone to forfeit the holiday and take on the task of cleaning Boxing Ring #2, I’m willing to try harder!"

Luo Heng: "???"

"Wait, you mean, you want to give up tomorrow’s holiday and have everyone help clean Boxing Ring #2?!"

"Yes, Captain Luo... didn’t you already know?" Xue Mei curiously asked.

Luo Heng: "..."

It was awkward, luckily he didn’t explicitly say anything, otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to face staying in Pure Beauty Paradise.

"Captain Luo, if you find it difficult, I can add a bit more."

"Difficult? No no no, it’s not difficult at all, not difficult in the least." Luo Heng shook his head, "For this matter, you don’t need to pay me extra, as someone has already applied."

"And, he’s willing to offer an extra two hundred life coins for everyone, as holiday compensation."

Upon hearing that, Xue Mei’s eyes widened in disbelief.

I wanted this chance after seeing Lord Luo Qiuhong’s Sword Slash to the Star and wanted to experience it in the field... Xue Mei thought, asking curiously, "Who proposed this?"

"Han Zhan," Luo Heng answered.

"It’s him? That newcomer? How does he have that many life coins, and why does he..."

Suddenly, Xue Mei’s mind was filled with questions about Han Zhan, but Luo Heng just shook his head.

"Regarding these questions, I can’t answer them, and if you want to know, you’ll have to ask him."

"However," Luo Heng paused, recalling the scene when Han Zhan predicted that Luo Qiuhong would ultimately win during the boxing ring battle,

"Never underestimate this young man named Han Zhan."

"He is anything but simple."

...

After Luo Heng left the office, the manager of the Life Span Boxing Ring slouched in his chair, letting out a long sigh of relief.

A bothersome matter was temporarily resolved, easing the pressure in managing the boxing ring.

He tugged at his bright red rose bowtie, clicking his tongue, "What a day."

Suddenly, a figure appeared abruptly in the office.

The sight startled the white-suited figure who had just sat down.

Upon closer inspection, it was none other than Luo Qiuhong of Sword Hero Star, who had just won the challenge match on Boxing Ring #2!

"Lord Luo." The white suit immediately put on a smile once he recognized the guest.

Such a stark contrast compared to when he met Luo Heng earlier.

For a VIP, a Tier Nine Ultimate Powerhouse not considered a toolman, the Paradise management had to show the utmost respect.

"Lord Luo, how come you have time to visit me? The earnings from tonight’s bets on Boxing Ring #2 have already been transferred to your account..."

"There’s something I need your cooperation on." Luo Qiuhong was brief and to the point, with no small talk.

"Wh-What is it?"

As the white-suited man finished speaking, with a snap, an item of dazzling brilliance was placed on his desk.

"With granted authority, I invite you to a duel!"
