Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Xie Qingyu only learned about the death of a lab technician in the park that morning.

It was a day off, so they didn't have to work in the planting area.

Xie Qingyu's original intention was to go to the mission points to check on the base's missions, especially those related to the experimental area.

Ji Lingshen had no objection to this.

The two were stopped at the park entrance, where a number of people were blocking their way.

Or rather, no one was allowed to leave their homes.

"What happened?" Xie Qingyu asked.

The staff on duty at the gate were also superhumans, and they were relatively polite to the people living in the experimenter's area. "We just received news that an experimenter died under mysterious circumstances. We need to investigate and we need your cooperation."

The staff on duty were polite, so no one made things difficult for him.

In particular, most of the people living here are experimenters, and unexplained deaths are a threat to them.

Even if it were a screening, these people wouldn't have been stuck here for so long.

Once the time of the crime was basically determined, the door was opened directly.

Even if you block the door and prevent people from leaving today because they died last night, you won't get any useful information.

After all, the records of overnight stays are kept on file.

Most of the people going out now are lab technicians, chatting in twos and threes, discussing issues involving technical jargon.

Xie Qingyu spotted someone in the crowd almost immediately; he had a straight posture and a steady gait.

Xie Qingyu glanced to the side, but Ji Lingshen did not react.

Xie Qingyu looked in the direction of the man and, seeing that the man's features resembled Ji Lingshen's, she could almost determine his identity.

"Is that your father?" Xie Qingyu asked when she saw Ji Lingshen looking in that direction.

Ji Lingshen nodded, then casually looked away.

The man didn't notice them, or rather, he walked with his eyes straight ahead, not glancing anywhere else at all. Even when many people greeted him on the street, he would at most nod, without giving them a single extra glance.

Ji Lingshen didn't bring it up himself, and Xie Qingyu didn't say much either.

The mission lobby has many sections.

They are broadly divided into missions within the base and missions outside the base.

Missions within the base are divided into official and unofficial.

The official announcements are likely related to construction or staffing within the base park; tasks are posted directly here, and applicants can sign up.

Also, the laboratory will post information here about the need for drug testing or experimental personnel.

Unofficial tasks might include doing housework, repairing things, or even exchanging items.

Missions outside the base are also divided into official and unofficial categories.

The official team will have daily tasks similar to those at Xie Cheng's base, such as clearing zombies and finding supplies, but there will also be some additional requirements for the laboratory, such as needing people who have been bitten by zombies but have not yet turned into zombies or their blood.

Most of the unofficial ones are tasks that involve finding people for others.

There are many tasks here, a dense array of them.

There were many people in the lobby, making it hard to tell whether they were there to post tasks or to complete them.

The Northern Base has very strict management in this regard, and does not allow people with superpowers to accept missions privately. They must go through the mission hall, which will take a cut and at the same time ensure that the transaction between the two parties can be completed smoothly.

Xie Qingyu stood in the mission hall for a long time before finally fixing her gaze on two missions related to the laboratory.

One task is to collect experimental items, and the mission location is SS University.

One is that the laboratory recruits gifted individuals to cooperate with experiments, with generous compensation.

The task of collecting experimental items from SS University was the same one Xie Cheng and his team did last time. Because the location was quite dangerous, the reward was very high.

However, the compensation is now much lower.

Xie Qingyu stepped forward and inquired about the mission details. It was roughly the same as before, except that the reward was lower this time because someone had already been there and the zombies had been mostly cleared out, so there was no particular danger.

Xie Qingyu looked fine when she came out of the mission hall.

This change in the task further validated the results they had previously observed.

Xie Cheng's death had nothing to do with zombies. The reason this mission was dangerous for Xie Cheng was due to human factors.

In such a large base, the death of a Level 3 ability user is not a trivial matter—after all, the sacrifice of an ability user usually means the emergence of a more evolved zombie.

However, Xie Cheng's sacrifice did not cause any stir or even any discussion.

Everyone in the base seemed to remain silent, and they knew what that silence meant.

If any party wants to gradually erode a foreign power, it must first deprive them of their leader.

Xie Qingyu wondered if Xie Cheng would regret bringing the people from the base to defect to the Northern Base in his last moments.

Or perhaps Xie Cheng had anticipated this, when he gave all the crystal cores he had to Xie Qingyu.

Even so, he probably still had some things he hadn't told Xie Qingyu, and he probably thought he still had some time, but these people didn't even give him that much time.

While Xie Qingyu was calming down outside, Ji Lingshen came out from inside with the mission slip.

The task bar was handed to Xie Qingyu.

"What's this?" Xie Qingyu took the note from Ji Lingshen in a daze.

“You want to go in and take a look? Then let’s go in and see who’s in charge of this base and who can order these lab technicians around.” Ji Lingshen smiled gently.

Xie Qingyu stared at his face, trying to find something in it.

But she found nothing.

"Okay." Xie Qingyu put the note away.

Ji Lingshen reported the two people as superhumans who would cooperate with the experiment.

The specific tasks were not mentioned, but the compensation was exceptionally generous.

Judging from the high pay, it probably isn't a good job.

But both of them went.

When I arrived at the laboratory with the slip of paper, I first went through three checks.

In addition to the kind of check at the main gate to see if there are any bite wounds, there is also a test for superpowers and a registration of superpowers.

Only after confirming that the two people were not carrying any prohibited items were they allowed to enter.

The laboratory was very large, and they were led through two doors before they could see any people.

These people, dressed in lab coats, wearing masks and hats, with only their eyes showing, mostly walked in a hurry as they passed by in the corridor.

They were led to a room containing only a few stools and a table.

Take their men out and tell them to wait here for a while.

And so they waited, and no one knows how long that lasted.

At first it was relatively quiet outside, but gradually it became noisy.

If you listen carefully, you can hear low growls mixed in with the noise.
