Collapse, how did I become the Devil King of Destruction while playing a game?

Around midnight, Fu Hua finished her part-time job for the night and returned to her dormitory at St. Freya Academy.

This is also when the dormitory doors close.

In the dormitory, Fu Hua's roommates watched intently as she completed a set of bedtime exercises.

"President is really amazing!" The girls were amazed by Fu Hua; President Fu Hua was practically a superhero.

"Thank you," Fu Hua said calmly, accepting the girls' compliments.

After the lights were turned off, Fu Hua closed his eyes, and the dreams, or rather nightmares, he had been having over the past few days floated into his mind. Some of the events in those nightmares were incredibly clear, while others were completely blurry.

Fu Hua quickly cleared her mind and entered a deep sleep.

Chapter 325 Morning (13)

As the morning sun rose, Padofelis looked at the huge number of police cars that surrounded the harbor, as well as the fully armed police officers of Canghai City.

"This...is such a big fuss really necessary?"

Paddy timidly raised her hands, letting the searchlight shine on her.

As the police officers approached, Pado's legs trembled more and more violently.

"We...we really didn't do anything wrong!" Paddy was so scared she was about to cry, but she didn't notice the strange looks on the faces of the police officers around her.

"Ms. Pado," a policewoman said helplessly as she helped Pado up.

"Sister Xie, I...I really didn't do anything!"

Pado quickly grabbed Officer Xie's leg.

"Get up first, we're not here to arrest you." Officer Xie could feel the gazes of the other police officers around him.

Officer Xie knew Paddo Felice, a foreign girl who had recently arrived in Canghai City, though he met her as a police officer, a habitual thief.

The large number of police officers at the scene were not there to arrest Pato. She was just a petty thief, and a habitual thief for whom there was insufficient evidence to convict her, so they could only give her a lecture. Why would they need such a large-scale operation?

But Officer Xie really didn't expect to see Pado on this ship; they were on a ship docked at the port of Canghai City.

Officer Xie led Paddo to a police car.

“Miss Pado, I need to ask you some questions now,” Officer Xie said, looking at Pado.

"Okay, okay," Pado said, her nervousness subsiding slightly.

How did you get on that ship?

"I just... I touched it up there."

Officer Xie was very curious about how Pado managed to get on the ship. The ship had just docked in the early morning, and the Canghai City Police Department was already waiting at the port, but they didn't expect Pado to get on the ship even faster than them.

"What are you looking for on this ship?" Officer Xie's expression turned serious as he asked this question.

"...I want to go back. I've heard that this ship is heading to America."

Pado looked at Officer Xie with trepidation.

"Where did you find out?" Officer Xie asked, somewhat surprised.

"I found out when Boss Li from the port and his men were talking about it."

Officer Xie then took out his walkie-talkie and asked the other officers, and found that there were indeed some goods belonging to Boss Li on the ship, which had been transported there with proper procedures.

Officer Xie then received messages from other officers, and it was finally confirmed that Pado was just an innocent passerby trying to sneak onto a boat and leave Canghai City.

Officer Xie looked at Pado, who was filled with unease, then put away his notebook and adopted a relaxed demeanor.

"Why would you want to leave Canghai City? I remember you just arrived here not long ago, why do you want to leave?" Officer Xie asked, stroking Pado's hair.

Pado remained silent.

The morning sun has gradually risen.

Officer Xie met Pado one such morning. A ship from America docked at the port of Canghai City. Officer Xie happened to have some business there, but unexpectedly ran into Pado hiding among the containers. Many people around were stunned; there was actually a living person hiding on the ship.

Officer Xie took Pado back to the police station, but soon discovered that Pado was an unregistered person with no identity information whatsoever. After talking with Pado, he learned that Pado was born in the Americas and had no family since childhood. She had lived alone until she boarded a ship bound for Canghai City and arrived there.

Officer Xie felt that Pado was quite lucky. Despite growing up in a chaotic area, she still had relatively normal values. So Officer Xie gave her a hand. As long as Pado could work peacefully in Canghai City, she could settle down in the city and obtain her identity.

Pado was well-behaved, but also restless. Officer Xie discovered that Pado was a habitual thief who specialized in stealing from bad people. However, the evidence was often insufficient. Although it was clear that she was the culprit, there was not enough evidence to constitute a crime. Heaven knows how Pado managed to hide her fingerprints and evade surveillance.

“I’m not suited to live here,” Pado replied softly.

Officer Xie sighed. She knew Pado's situation well; she was indeed not used to life in Canghai City. There was no chaos here. Even the most remote places were under surveillance by the Sky Eye network. Moreover, with the increasing sophistication of various investigative methods, Pado would be caught sooner or later.

"And what about you in the future?" Officer Xie didn't want to watch Pado, who was about the same age as his daughter, go down a path of no return. She was still young and had a bright future ahead of her. Although Pado was lucky, how long could luck protect her?

"..." Pado had never thought about these things. She was already very satisfied with being able to live a life where she had no worries about food and drink and could bask in the sun every day.

Seeing Officer Xie's worried look, Pado felt a little lost.

"Let's go to the police station to make a statement first."

Officer Xie looked at the silent Pado and said.

"Um"

Pado kept her head down.

On the way to the police station, Officer Xie sent some messages. Although she was willing to help Pado, if Pado did not intend to stay, Officer Xie would have to give up.

Shortly after, Pado finished giving her statement and walked out of the police station with Officer Xie.

“…Um, Sister Xie, I’ll be going now,” Pado said after a moment’s hesitation.

"Wait a minute," Officer Xie said, pulling Pado's hand.

I'll take you somewhere.

"what?"

Officer Xie led Paddo into his car.

Pado didn't know where Sister Xie was taking her, and she felt confused and bewildered along the way.

Before long, Officer Xie brought Pado to a very ordinary building.

"Where is this place?" Pado asked, somewhat puzzled.

Officer Xie had changed her coat by then; she just smiled and didn't answer.

After Paddo was led into the building, she heard lectures coming from various rooms, as well as directional signs.

"This is a training center that teaches people a skill that allows them to support themselves."

Officer Xie replied.

This was a solution she had just come up with. She had previously asked a friend to help Pado find a job. Although Pado did not refuse, her friend told Officer Xie that Pado was learning very slowly and that her mind was not on the job.

In response, Officer Xie finally remembered a place: a training center that taught people various legitimate ways to make money.

"Let me show you around. What's interesting to you?"

Officer Xie smiled at Paddy.

"Oh, I'll take a look first," Pado nodded, unsure of what she should learn.

The two then wandered around the training center.

Paddo is actually very interested in making money, but more accurately, she likes shiny or rare things. Paddo also remembers that many of the things she used to collect are still buried in the place where she used to live.

While Officer Xie and Pado were looking around, some people were observing them curiously, but Officer Xie quickly noticed this.

After being discovered, the person walked over with a natural smile.

"Hello, ma'am, are you helping this little foreign girl learn some vocational skills?"

"you are?"

"Sister, I'm a manager at a company. Do you know anything about the live streaming industry?"

"I'm not sure about that."

Officer Xie genuinely didn't know what these young people's professions were.

"Ahem, this little girl is very pretty, and she's a foreigner too. She's just a livestreamer promoting products."

As the company manager was speaking, he noticed Officer Xie's sharp gaze.

Then I immediately understood why he was so sharp. Officer Xie asked some questions about the manager's company, and in no time he had uncovered all the details about the company.

"Is this alright, ma'am?" The company manager asked, his voice trembling slightly. He felt as if he were being questioned by a police officer, whose demeanor and gaze were exactly the same.

Officer Xie found the company manager's attitude a bit strange. He was just asking some simple questions that could be made public, so why was he so nervous?

"Pado, are you interested?" Officer Xie asked, looking at Pado.

“Our company has classes being taught here; you can go and take a look,” the company manager said.

“Oh,” Pado scratched her head.

Before long, the company manager suddenly felt very fortunate, thinking he had struck gold! This girl named Pado was not only extremely beautiful, but also very shrewd. In her interactions with others, she gradually revealed her optimistic nature, attracting attention from the moment she appeared.

When Officer Xie saw the girl on the platform receiving praise from many people, the weight on his heart finally lifted.

She had just secretly asked her colleagues to investigate, and the company that wanted to recruit Pado was a legitimate company with no bad records.

"It looks like a lucky cat," the company manager couldn't help but remark.

The girl named Padofelis really gave him the feeling of a lucky cat.

However, the company manager's joy was short-lived, turning into shock.

"What? Pado only has a temporary ID card? Was she an unregistered person before?"

"What? Pado doesn't know a single word? Has she never been to school?"

The company manager felt incredibly frustrated.

Officer Xie was helpless; Pado currently did not have an official identity and they could only wait and see.

The company manager gritted his teeth, feeling that if he missed out on Pado, he might regret it for the rest of his life. He thought for a moment and then called the company boss, sending him the recording of Pado's guest appearance as a live-streaming sales host.

"Sister Xie, our boss said that if we follow all the proper procedures, she has a way to resolve Pado's issue." The company manager then turned to look at Pado, who had just walked over.

"Little sister Paddy, our boss is planning to sign a scholarship agreement with you. You'll be attending St. Freya Academy, and in return, he can help you retrieve the treasure you left behind in America."

"Really?!" Paddo was immediately delighted; she missed the treasure she had hidden away.

However, Pado then looked at Officer Xie.

"No problem," Officer Xie nodded with a smile.

Paddo really is like a lucky cat.

the other side

"Hmm, lucky kitty?"

Ellie hung up the phone and stretched comfortably.

"Everyone is doing well and is very happy."

"Is this the beautiful, peaceful life that everyone wants?"

Ellie looked out the window at the bustling city, a light smile in her orange-red eyes.

Chapter 326 Noon (1)

The midday sun shone on the ground, and the laughter of children filled the amusement park. A young couple sat together, enjoying the scenery.

Kevin was somewhat confused, but he didn't know why he was confused. Mei was already by his side, and they had gone out on dates together, so why did he feel so lost?

"Kevin, what's wrong?" Mei, who was next to Kevin, noticed Kevin's confused look and asked in bewilderment.

"No, it's nothing," Kevin smiled at May, but he didn't realize that his smile was awkward.

"Strange, Kevin, what's wrong with you lately?" May asked, puzzled, and reached out to rub Kevin's cheek.

"I......"

Kevin also wanted to know what was wrong with him.

"I had a very strange nightmare..."

Kevin spoke in a somber tone.

"Dream?"
