After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me-Chapter 1215: Lifetime Contract
Zhouzhou was fuming inside, but she also knew how hard her punches could be. So, she reined in her strength, controlling the force and not unleashing her full power. After all, if she went all out, there would be no one left to even fill the ranks by the time the competition came around.
Even so, one by one, they were all sent flying, defeated in less than ten moves.
When Xi Mo entered, he found Zhouzhou crouched on the ground, sulking with an angry pout on her face.
Seeing him, the young girl immediately opened her mouth like a sharp knife, "Uncle, they're so weak! Not a single one of them can fight!"
Xi Mo turned to look at the so-called geniuses, the pride of heaven, and coolly remarked, "Still arrogant?"
Fang Zichong quickly shook his head, and the others followed suit, shaking their heads in unison. They were no longer arrogant. They couldn't afford to be arrogant anymore. In front of Zhouzhou, they were nothing.
Seeing this, Xi Mo nodded with satisfaction. No matter what, at least he had managed to teach them some humility.
He had been frustrated before, watching them act like they were above everyone else.
Even Zhouzhou, as powerful as she was, never looked down on anyone. She never underestimated her opponents. That was the first lesson he and Ye Lingfeng had taught her.
Zhouzhou had always remembered that lesson and had never forgotten it. So, she had never made such a mistake on a mission. Even if her opponent was a child with some tricks up their sleeve, she'd never been deceived.
That was laughable. She'd been acting since she was a child. With their little tricks, did they really think they could fool her?
But Fang Zichong and the others hadn't had as much experience. They were all proud, and Xi Mo worried that their temper would cause them trouble in the future. By then, it might be too late to remedy.
Fortunately, Zhouzhou was here.
She had knocked each of their proud heads to the ground, and now, they would never dare to take things lightly again.
Good. Step one had been successful.
Turning to Zhouzhou, Xi Mo said, "Their basics are weak. Start from the foundation and teach them the basics."
"Alright," Zhouzhou sighed.
She had never taught anyone before. After thinking for a moment, she tilted her head and asked, "Should I set up the same training obstacles I did when I was at the Fourth Bureau for them?"
Xi Mo knew what she was talking about.
The obstacle course she had gone through when she first joined the Fourth Bureau—the one designed to select the leader of the Lion Group—was incredibly difficult. Many people couldn't pass it.
But not only had Zhouzhou passed it, she even kept going, topping the scores. Using that obstacle course, she had pushed herself into second place, right behind Ye Lingfeng.
After a pause, Xi Mo said, "Isn't that too difficult? Let's start with something simpler."
But Fang Zichong and the others were not happy.
"Captain, don't underestimate us," Fang Zichong said. "Fugui, just use that one. We can handle it."
After all, that was the same obstacle course Zhouzhou had trained on when she was a child. How hard could it be? They didn't believe it could be that difficult.
They might not be as good as Zhouzhou now, but they should be able to handle something from her childhood days, right?
Xi Mo looked at them, "Are you sure?"
"Definitely," Fang Zichong nodded confidently, not worried at all. "It's nothing. We've been training for over ten years. If we can't get past the training course that Zhouzhou took when she was a little kid, we won't have the face to keep going."
Xi Mo stared at them, wanting to say they were incredibly naïve.
Had they forgotten that Zhouzhou started taking on missions when she was young? Could the difference in age really be bridged?
But since they were all so eager to slap themselves in the face, Xi Mo didn't stop them. He simply nodded to Zhouzhou. "Alright. Let's go with that one."
Zhouzhou also nodded, then called Zhao Xinghua to get the design plans for the obstacle course and started working on it.
While she was getting started, Xi Mo suggested, "Add some difficulty levels."
Zhouzhou tilted her head, thought for a moment, then suddenly understood. "Oh, right! That's too simple. I'll make something more difficult."
"No," Xi Mo paused before continuing, "What I mean is, set your course to be the hardest, and on that basis, create two easier versions."
Zhouzhou froze for a moment, then stared at him with confusion. "My course... is that hard?"
Xi Mo watched her expression and realized she genuinely thought it was simple, with no intention of showing off. She was simply stating it matter-of-factly.
He couldn't help but feel a little jealous of Zhouzhou's natural talent.
How old was she back then? And yet, she didn't even realize how difficult that obstacle course was.
When Xi Mo went to the Fourth Bureau for training, he had tried it too. He passed it on his first try, but the speed was nowhere near as fast as Zhouzhou's. He had even gotten injured in the process.
Up until now, only Zhouzhou and Ye Lingfeng—this pair of freakishly talented father and daughter—could breeze through it with such ease.
Xi Mo had to admit, in this aspect, he really admired Ye Lingfeng. His genes were incredible, and he had passed that down to Zhouzhou.
For them, it really was easy.
But for the others, it was hard.
It wasn't that they were weak—it was that they were monsters.
The two of them stared at each other for a long time, but Xi Mo couldn't bring himself to say anything.
It felt like, if he did, he'd be looked down upon.

After staring at him for a while, Zhouzhou finally realized what he meant. She sighed lightly. "Alright."
She lowered the difficulty of the obstacle course a little, then muttered under her breath, "Good thing I didn't come here."
They were just too, too weak.
If she were here, there probably wouldn't be a single person who could spar with her.
Unlike her father, who was able to overpower her when she was much younger.
At the Fourth Bureau, even the group leaders could give her a challenge, and that was fun.
But here? This wasn't sparring—this was just her beating them senseless.
What's the point of that?
If she accidentally hurt one of them, she'd have to compensate for the damage.
The thought made her shiver. No, no, no. She almost got tricked into it.
Not only was the pay low here, but she'd have to pay for injuries—was she supposed to be working for free?
Absolutely not!
When Zhouzhou finished designing the obstacle course, she immediately called Zhao Xinghua again.
Zhao Xinghua was so nervous, fearing Zhouzhou would tell her she was staying there forever.
But before he could say anything, Zhouzhou spoke first, "Uncle Zhao, do you have a lifetime contract? I'll sign it!"
Zhao Xinghua was stunned.
He almost thought he had misheard her. "What did you say?"
Zhouzhou repeated herself.
Zhao Xinghua was so happy that he almost jumped out of his chair. "You mean a lifetime contract? If you back out, there's a penalty fee—several billion!"
At first, there hadn't been such a clause. The penalty fee was specifically set up to prevent Zhouzhou from leaving.
After all, she was so in demand, who knew if she'd suddenly run off with someone else?
But since Zhouzhou was a bit of a money lover, even if the penalty was just a hundred bucks, she wouldn't want to pay it.
He never imagined that one day, Zhouzhou would actually offer to stay forever.
He had to go outside and check if the sun was rising from the west!
