If I don’t become the last one, I will be immortal!

Chapter 71 Taking over the mission

My pants are ruined, but I can't go to see my boss in this state, right? Even if Yu Dongchen has no sense of shame, he wouldn't go to such an extent.

There was no choice but to be taken into an empty office first, and then have a new pair of pants sent to him by express delivery online.

It's just the pants that can be changed, but he made such a fool of himself on his first day at work. I'm afraid his colleagues will never forget the scene of his pants crotch torn.

While waiting for the pants to be delivered, he waited alone in the empty office, and no one came to ask about his situation.

It seemed as if everyone had forgotten about him.

He waited and waited, until the pants were delivered, but no one came.

Finally, he couldn't help it and took the initiative to stop an employee who was passing by the door.

"Hello, um..."

The employee stopped and asked in confusion, "You are..." Then he suddenly realized, "Oh~~~ It's you! The one with the ripped pants!"

Yu Dongchen: . . .

"What's up?" the employee asked.

Yu Dongchen said: "My employment procedures have not yet been completed..."

The employee suddenly realized, "Oh, it's not done yet? Okay, follow me!" As he said that, he led Yu Dongchen towards the boss's office.

Arriving at the boss's office door, the employee knocked and asked, "Boss, how are you handling Sister Yu's brother's employment?"

The boss's voice came from inside immediately, "What else can we do? Take him to HR. They'll know what to do."

Zhu Yan had already discussed this with Fanxing in advance.

"Got it." The employee turned around and left, saying to Yu Dongchen, "Come with me."

Yu Dongchen asked, "Don't you need to meet the boss?" He was still thinking about getting closer to the boss and asking the boss to take better care of him.

The employee laughed and said, "Our boss is busy, how can we meet him whenever we want?"

Yu Dongchen said nothing more after hearing this, as there would be plenty of opportunities in the future.

On Fanxing's side, after looking at the time, she took back the psychic cards from Hsinchu and Pharmacist and planned to leave the studio.

Now her work efficiency is much higher than before, and her skills have also improved. The amount of work that used to take two or three days to complete can now be completed in half a day.

She is not bound by time constraints at work, so she can leave whenever she wants.

"Sister Yu, are you getting off work soon?" Seeing Fanxing about to leave, an employee asked with a smile.

"Hmm~" Fanxing nodded without saying much. This has always been her personality. She is not close to everyone, and no one finds it strange.

"Sister Fanxing, see you later."

"See you later."

"Senior Yu, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

……

In this way, Fanxing greeted her colleagues while walking to the door of the studio. As soon as she came out, she saw Yato and Princess squatting at the door.

Yato also had a blue bird in his mouth.

This is a water-attributed bird spirit species. It was probably born not long ago and is very weak. It chirped and struggled desperately in Ye Dou's mouth, appearing to have completely lost its mind.

Fanxing reached out and held the bird in her hand, "Did you catch it while on patrol?"

"Meow~" Yato nodded.

Fanxing looked at the princess again and asked, "What about you? Did you gain anything?"

The princess raised her chin confidently.

"Gu~" No!
Fanxing knocked it on the head unhappily and said, "You seem quite proud."

"Okay, let's send this bird to the branch!"

Fanxing had no intention of eating this little guy. It was too weak and it would be useless to eat it. It would be better to send it to the branch to earn some merits.

The patrol members' achievements in capturing spirits, criminals, etc. are recorded. Their achievements are related to their welfare and future promotions, so they are very important.

Then Fanxing got on the motorcycle and took Yato and the princess all the way to the branch, and they soon arrived at their destination.

When she entered, Lu Xiaoling was lying on the sofa in a crooked position playing games, while his spirit seed baby was buried in a pile of potato chips and eating heartily.

Fan Honghong arrived before Fanxing. She was standing in front of the taskbar looking at something.

The taskbar, which had been closed in the past, was opened today.

Seeing Fanxing coming in, Fan Honghong said happily: "Xingxing, you are here!"

"Hmm~" Fanxing nodded, then asked in confusion, "What are you doing?"

Fan Honghong laughed and said, "I'm just looking to see if there's a task that's suitable for me!"

She wanted to become stronger quickly, so she naturally couldn't be a lazy bum.

Lu Xiaoling, who was lying on the sofa playing games, sighed without looking up, "Our 14th branch is finally going to be lively!"

Fan Honghong asked doubtfully, "Captain, can you really support yourself by staying in the branch like this all day?"

Through yesterday's conversation, they learned that Lu Xiaoling was a lonely man without any relatives or friends, and he had no job in the outer world. Apart from the basic salary of the patrol team, he had no other source of income.

"Oh my god!" Lu Xiaoling stared at her phone with a look of regret, then replied, "Of course I can. I'm the captain, and my salary is higher than yours!"

Fan Honghong couldn't help but complain, "The alliance is really generous. They are willing to support a freeloader like you."

Lu Xiaoling put down her phone and said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by 'freeloaders'? That's really harsh. I'm not like you!"

"What's the difference?" Fan Honghong asked.

"Hmph! I can't tell you that." Lu Xiaoling said with her arms folded across her chest.

"Tsk~ I don't even want to know." Fan Honghong turned his head and continued to look at the taskbar.

Fanxing walked to the taskbar and saw various tasks densely written on it.

"What mission are you going to take?"

Fan Honghong replied as he browsed through the pages, "Let's take a simple one first and take our time."

"That's right." Fanxing nodded, "But taking on missions too frequently will delay your work in the surface world, right?"

Hearing this, Fan Honghong paused, "Xingxing, what do you say about me quitting my job in the outer world?"

She wanted to focus all her energy on improving her strength.

Fanxing was stunned. "Then the medical skills you have learned over the years..."

Fan Honghong smiled bitterly and said, "There has to be a trade-off."

Fanxing: "Have you discussed this with your parents?"

Fan Honghong nodded. "Of course we discussed such a big thing. They told me to follow my own ideas and they all supported me."

Upon hearing this, Fanxing smiled and said, "Then follow your own wishes."

A smile appeared on Fan Honghong's face, as if he had made up his mind, "I understand."

After browsing for a while, Fan Honghong suddenly pointed to one and said to Fanxing, "Xingxing, what do you think of this mission?"

Fanxing looked in the direction she pointed, and saw the task description read:

"Lately, livestock have been disappearing frequently at the pig farm in Houwang Village, a suburb of Changshi County. Neither villagers nor police can pinpoint the cause. We suspect a spirit is at work. Requesting a patrol member to investigate. Mission Difficulty: E."

Fanxing nodded and said, "Yes, the mission is not difficult. It is suitable as a first mission."

Fan Honghong said happily: "Then I'll take this!"

Fan Honghong just long-pressed the task over there, and suddenly a red option popped up.

"Accept!"

After Fan Honghong clicked to accept, another information bar popped up with the content:

Name of the person who accepted the task:
Affiliated branch:
Identity confirmation:

Fan Honghong quickly filled in the first two columns, and then pointed the spiritual pattern bracelet at the third column. With a "beep" sound, her identity authentication was successful and the task was successfully accepted.

At this time, Lu Xiaoling suddenly came over and said, "Xing, do you want to take one too? Our 14th team has finally opened, you should join in the fun."

Fanxing asked, "Then why don't you answer it yourself?"

Lu Xiaoling quickly stepped back upon hearing this. "Why should I accept this? I'm the captain. It would be so embarrassing to go out and carry out these low-level missions!"

Fan Honghong said, "The captain is a B-rank and he still goes out to take missions. Why are you, a C-rank, being so pretentious?"

Lu Xiaoling said indifferently: "Huh, can they be the same as me? My ancestors were big men, but I have what Yu Ze left me. I don't need to work hard!"

"Big shot? What big shot?" Fan Honghong asked curiously.

"I can't tell you that!" Lu Xiaoling turned around and lay back on the sofa in a crooked manner.

Fan Honghong didn't take his words seriously and rolled his eyes: "Virtue."

Fanxing looked at the tasks scrolling on the taskbar and thought: Should I listen to Lu Xiaoling and take a task?
Her eyes quickly scanned the tasks one by one, and soon her attention was drawn to one task.

"Recently, there have been frequent murders in Hongguang City. It is suspected that a spirit species named 'Skull-Splitting Butcher' was responsible. All B-level spirits from each branch are requested to assist in the capture.

Mission Difficulty: B."

It seems that the matter of the Skull-Splitting Butcher has been reported by Rowan and others, and has attracted the attention of the alliance.

However, this level of task is not something Fanxing can handle.

She continued browsing.

About ten minutes later, she took on a task.

"Two adult men have recently gone missing from Yunlai Village in Changyu County. Police have been investigating for a while but haven't found any leads. It's highly likely they're related to spirit seeds. We're requesting a patrol member to investigate.

Mission Difficulty: F."

After accepting the task, Fanxing handed the bird in her hand to Lu Xiaoling and asked, "What should we do with this?"

Lu Xiaoling took the bird and said, "Give it to me. I'll take care of it. I'll record the merit for you."

After stuffing the spirit seed into Lu Xiaoling's mouth, Fanxing called Fan Honghong and said, "Honghong, do you want to have lunch together?"

Fan Honghong: "Okay!"

Then the two of them left the branch together.

After lunch, Fanxing and Fan Honghong separated again.

Fan Honghong went to Changshi County according to the mission instructions, while Fanxing went to Changyu County where her mission was located.

There are a total of eight counties under the jurisdiction of Hongguang City, Changshi and Changyu are two of them.

Changyu County, where Fanxing is going, is the poorest of the eight counties in Hongguang City, and the area where Yunlai Village is located seems to be the poorest area in Changyu County.

Riding a motorcycle at lightning speed, Fanxing arrived at Yunlai Village safely after an hour.

When the car stopped at the entrance of the village, Fanxing saw a tall harvester coming towards them. It turned out that this was the time to harvest rice in the countryside.

The harvester was driving very slowly. When the driver saw Fanxing, a stranger, he asked loudly, "Girl, where are you from? What's going on?"

Fanxing asked loudly, "Excuse me, how do I get to the village chief's house?"

The driver stopped the car upon hearing this.

"You're looking for the village chief? Are you looking for someone to investigate a missing person?"

"That's right." Fanxing nodded.

The driver pointed to the road ahead and said, "Go straight along this road. At the end you will see a single two-story building. That is the village chief's house."

Fanxing: "I see, thank you."

The driver restarted the harvester and said with a smile, "Search carefully and find the people quickly. We've seen dead bodies and alive bodies. Losing three people for no reason is really scary."

Fanxing was stunned when she heard this. Three people? Didn't the mission description say two people?
She wanted to ask more about the situation, but saw that the driver had already driven away.

Forget it, it’s the same if I ask the village chief.

Thinking of this, she drove along the road ahead.

When he reached the end of the road, Fanxing saw a separate two-story building.

The houses in Yunlai Village are basically the same in style, but other houses are built together in groups of three or two, and only the village chief's house is built alone at the foot of the mountain.

If you go further from the village chief’s house, you will see a vast mountain.

After parking the car, Fanxing walked to the gate of the village chief's house and stretched his neck to look inside.

At this moment, an old lady came out of the house holding a basin.

Seeing Fanxing, she was slightly startled and asked doubtfully, "Girl, where are you from? Is there something wrong?"

Fanxing nodded and said, "I'm here to investigate a missing person case in the village. I want to ask the village chief about the situation."

Hearing this, the old lady's face lit up with joy, and she quickly called Fanxing in, "Come in, come in, we've been waiting for you..."

At this point, the aunt was stunned, "Just you?"

When the police left, they said that more professional people would come to help with the investigation. The aunt never expected that only a little girl would come.

Fanxing smiled and said, "As long as we can get the job done, the number of people is not the key."

The aunt thought so too, thinking that this girl might have extraordinary abilities.

"Come in and have a cup of tea." The aunt warmly invited Fanxing into the house.

After looking around the room, Fanxing asked, "Are you the village chief?"

While pouring tea for Fanxing, the aunt replied, "No, the village chief is our husband. He is working in the fields with the children and is not at home."

Fanxing suddenly realized, "Oh, I wanted to ask him something!"

The auntie heard this and said, "We're going to take food to him and the kids later. How about you come with us, baby?"

Fanxing nodded and said, "Okay, thank you for your help!"

The auntie said with a smile, "It's not a problem. Wait a moment, baby. Auntie will be there soon."

As she spoke, the aunt hurried into the kitchen, and soon came out with some difficulty carrying a large bamboo basket, which was full of lunch boxes.

"There are many people at home." She said with a smile.

Seeing this, Fanxing said, "Auntie, let me help you carry it."

The auntie shook her head repeatedly, "No need, no need, you are just a city girl, how can you lift this!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Fanxing picked up the bamboo basket easily.

She couldn't help but widen her eyes and said, "Oh my goodness, what did you eat to grow up like this?"
