"Who's ready?"
"I'm ready!"
"Who's ready?"
"I'm ready!"
…
When the time approached seven-thirty, SpongeBob's voice rang outside Sandy's house again - he had clearly told him last night to just come at seven-forty-five, so that he could get to work in time.
It seems that workaholic SpongeBob did not accept this suggestion.
Lin Li, who didn't sleep anymore, tidied up his appearance, put on his diving suit, left here, and went to the Krusty Krab with Spongebob.
The unpleasant smell became stronger and stronger. Even if I rinsed the wetsuit with water last night, it still didn't work. After all, the entire Sandy house was filled with this smell - including the water flushed from the water pipes.
"How do you feel on your second day at work, Lin Li?"
"It's pretty good." Lin Li rubbed his slightly sore eyes and said.
"You're going to love this job, I promise."
"But I think my views will gradually become consistent with Brother Squidward." Lin Li responded with a smile.
"Brother Squidward, you like this job as much as Brother Squidward!" Spongebob walked back and looked at Lin Li and said.
"How did you tell?"
"Because he's Squidward."
"I see."
Lin Li nodded. Although it was illogical, because he was Spongebob, it made sense for him to say this.
"Mr. Krabs also said that Squidward and I are the two best employees he has ever seen."
"Is there a possibility that he has only seen you two?" Lin Li couldn't help complaining.
"No, Patrick was once, but Mr. Krabs said he could only be fourth."
"...Then who is third?"
"Mr. Krabs would rather be an employee than see Patrick wearing that employee hat again." SpongeBob covered his mouth, although it couldn't block his huge smile at all.
"That's it."
When Patrick was an employee of the Krusty Krab, he really made Mr. Krabs collapse.
As expected of my boss.
Walking into the Krusty Krab, everything was as usual. Mr. Krabs had stayed in his office early, and Squidward still came at the same time.
"Have you followed today? Have you gained anything?" Brother Squidward, who was standing at the cashier with a stern face, waited for Lin Li to come to him, turned to look at him, and asked in a low voice.
"Although I still don't know the secret recipe, I have gained something. The information you provided is useful."
"You're welcome, my friend, it would be great if I could help you. If you still need any help, you can come to me."
"Yes, thank you, Brother Squidward." Lin Li nodded and said with a smile.
"Then after get off work today, do you want to come to my house to cultivate your sentiments? I wrote a song specifically for your arrival last night." Brother Squidward looked at Lin Li with eyes full of hope.
"..."
Lin Li's smile suddenly became stiff, and he was fighting in his heart for a long time. Then he nodded in millimeter increments and said in a vague voice: "Okay..."
If you refuse again, it will appear to be too deliberate, and you may lose Squidward, the ally you have attracted.
"Great, let's go back together after get off work."
"Um."
The door of the next room suddenly opened. Mr. Krabs was in a good mood, humming a melodious tune, leaning on a jellyfish net on his shoulder, and walked towards the door with small steps.
"Mr. Krabs!" Spongebob's body appeared in the window behind Lin Li and Squidward. His hands were still pulling their heads, so that he could successfully get closer and place his head in the upper area between them.
The big watery eyes looked directly at the jellyfish net, and he asked in a thinner voice:
"Mr. Krabs, are you going to catch jellyfish now? Can I come with you? Yes, yes, yes, yes!"
"Get off my head first." Squidward looked up at SpongeBob and said with a cold face.
But being ignored, Squidward took a deep breath, and Lin Li was about to reach out to catch SpongeBob - Squidward was expected to throw Spongebob off his head.
But Squidward didn't move anything, but his eyelids sunk, covering half of his eyes, making him look even more depressed.
"No, kid, I'm not going to catch jellyfish." Mr. Krabs put the jellyfish net behind him, put on a fake smile, and said as if he was trying to catch jellyfish.
"No - Mr. Krabs! I've seen it, you can't hide it, I also want to catch jellyfish! I am the second place in the jellyfish catching competition in Beachburg, take me with you, I can help you!"
Spongebob shouted hoarse.
"Kid, do you want to miss work?" Seeing that the cover-up failed, Mr. Krabs directly showed his cards and looked at SpongeBob seriously with his hands on his hips, "Do you still want to be the best employee of the month?"
"No..." Spongebob's tone instantly became very weak and frustrated.
"Mr. Krabs, why don't you take him with you." Squidward said with an unchanged expression.
"Yes, Crab..." Lin Li was about to agree.
Brother Squidward then turned his head and looked at Lin Li, his tone revealing excitement and expectation:
"I can't believe how wonderful the Krusty Krab would be without Mr. Krabs and Spongebob! I could be right here singing my song to you!"
Lin Li: "...!?"
He shut up instantly and swallowed the words he originally planned to say.
Lin Li instantly looked at Mr. Crab: Please, you must stick to your own opinions and cannot accept the employee's unreasonable request!
Spongebob, you'd better feel aggrieved!
"Sorry, I really can't, Spongebob, I really have something to do this time, let's do it next time. You work well here, that's the most important thing."
"Okay." Although frustrated, Spongebob nodded, "Then after I get off work, can I catch jellyfish with you?"
"As long as you are willing to pay a little money, I am very willing!" Mr. Crab said as he walked out.
"Okay, then it will be deducted from my salary next year!" SpongeBob instantly resurrected with full health and became full of energy again.
"Salary is not good, I need cash." Mr. Crab, who had already walked away, immediately turned back and warned before leaving again.
Lin Li speculated that Mr. Crab didn't think he would pay Spongebob his salary, so he didn't accept using his salary as credit.
As expected of you, Iron Rooster.
"Lin Li, Brother Squidward, do you want to go catching jellyfish with me after get off work?" After Mr. Crab walked away, SpongeBob looked at the two people under his head.
"I refuse. Also, get off my head!"
"I also have an appointment with Brother Squidward. Sorry, SpongeBob." Lin Li also shook his head.
"Well, it seems I can only find Patrick Star again."
--
Mr. Krabs, who left in the morning, came back in the afternoon and did not catch any jellyfish. SpongeBob went to comfort Mr. Krabs while suppressing his laughter.
Today's working hours are very routine. The boss didn't come to make trouble. Everything went on step by step until get off work.
"Friend, friend, my friend, you are a friend, friend is you, Lin Li~Li~Li~ (Friend, friend, my friend, you are a friend, friend is you, Lin Li~Li~Li~)"
Surrounded by the lyrics of "Welcome, Lin Li" full of elegant and artistic atmosphere, Lin Li walked out of Squidward's house in high spirits.
Top artists have magic that makes it impossible to escape from the environment in which they perform, such as now.
"Come back tomorrow, my friend. I suddenly discovered that I also have some talent in songwriting. I will improvise a few more songs for you tonight."
Squidward was very happy, held Lin Li's hand cordially, and said to him.
"Ah?" Lin Li was in a daze, his steps were frivolous, and he was as angry as a mosquito. "Oh, um, okay, of course!"
His desire to clear the dungeon has now reached a new level.
"Are you okay?" Brother Squidward asked with concern after noticing Lin Li's absent-mindedness.
"It's okay, it's just that, you know, art, the lingering sound lingers, my ears are still immersed in the atmosphere just now, and I can't extricate myself."
"It's still early, why don't you sing another song?"
Lin Li took a few steps back: "..."
Squidward takes a few steps forward: (*≧▽≦)
Lin Li was dragged back to the resurrection portrait room: or2.
~~~~
After another round of spiritual baptism, Lin Li had a premonition that he would have a nightmare tonight.
Patting the helmet on his head to wake himself up, Lin Li did not forget his original arrangement and went to the boss to make a tracker with better quality and longer signal reception range.
Returning the same way, making sure that no one was following him, soon the Tyrant of the Sea was in front of him.
Lin Li knocked on the door: "Boss, are you there? I'm Lin Li."
no respond.
"Sorry, I made a mistake. I am Captain Dragonfly."
Lin Li knocked on the door harder and changed his words.
"Crack-"
In the quiet night, the sound of the door rubbing against the ground was quite harsh. The door was actually ajar and not closed.
It was pitch dark inside now.
