A long-awaited help request appeared on the Awakened Forum of S City, asking about the quality of the city's "Mind Your Own Business Agency."
The post soon got replies:
User A: The director's a useless nobody with the lowest-grade lighter spirit. You really think he's capable?
User B: My opinion? Not much skill, but plenty of rules. You'd be better off hiring me.
User C: Put it this way: I am Qin Shi Huang.
The comments were nothing but bad reviews and ridicule. The original poster didn't reply again.
Half a month later, the post was bumped to the front page. The latest comment was a video posted by the original poster.
In the video, an ordinary man with tousled hair, wearing a T-shirt, beach shorts, and flip-flops, looked at the rampaging beast spirits filling the room and shook his head helplessly. Then he turned around and snapped his fingers.
The room immediately burst into roaring flames. The beast spirits shrieked in agony, their cries sharp and wretched. A few seconds later, the sounds stopped, and the room had turned to ash.
Then the man's lazy voice came through the video: "Kid, next time, take this kind of business to another agency. I'm really busy. Don't let it happen again."
The video set off an uproar in the comments.
Bystander A: Incredible. The classic lowest-grade lighter spirit, the useless nobody. With firepower like that, some people wouldn't even have ashes left. Am I right, guys? @User A @User B @User C...
Bystander B: No wonder the agency is called "Mind Your Own Business." An A-rank commission really is nothing in front of power like that.
Bystander C: I'm curious how much the OP had to pay to get an immortal master of this caliber to take the job.
OP: A string of bodhi beads.
Everyone: ??!! There's a deal like that? Is the agency director a philanthropist?
And so, the "Mind Your Own Business" Agency, whose motto was not to deal with chores, meddlesome affairs, or any damn thing at all, became busier than ever.
You Shuo, the agency director, was suddenly swamped and utterly baffled. What was going on? Had all the other agencies gone out of business?
