First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 711: Bestowed the Name Zhou Chu—Me, an Investigator? You’re Really Letting Me Be an Investigator?

Since it was a blade, it had to have the blade's awareness.

The Liberation Sect was good, that was true, but was following Lu Ding not good as well?

To put it simply, Lu Ding alone could match the output of the entire Liberation Sect, like a local leather shoe with connections in both the black and white worlds.

Following a boss like this required proper resolve.

Lu Ding listened to his words.

He silently solidified certain things in his mind.

He actually had a special positioning for each person in his heart. It wasn't that the others were bad, or that Lu Ding had ulterior motives towards them, but rather that the emphasis of their labels was different.

Zhan Tingzhou leaned more towards friendship.

Fu Xinghe leaned more towards alignment.

Qin Jinghao was admiration.

As for Zhou Huo, loyalty!

These points were actually present in everyone;the difference was that the corresponding point was more prominent in their respective selves.

It wasn't to say that Zhou Huo, being loyal, lacked admiration.

Or that Fu Xinghe's alignment meant he had no loyalty or friendship.

With a shift in thought, Lu Ding spoke: "People often say you name a child after what they lack in fate. I hope you learn to conduct yourself in society in the future. From now on, you shall be called Zhou Chu."

"Thank you, Special Envoy, for bestowing this name!"

Zhou Chu performed a salute, bowed, lowering his body!

He felt gratitude in his heart. Lu Ding hadn't changed his surname.

Of course, changing it would have been fine too, but not changing it was better.

Lu Ding stepped forward and patted his shoulder: "Work hard from now on. I hope your career as an investigator will be as complete and successful as your time in the Liberation Sect!"

Zhou Chu froze on the spot.

"I... I'm going to be an investigator???!"

"I... I can be an investigator!??"

Lu Ding was amused by his questioning: "Why not? Did you think you'd eat for free?"

"No work, no food."

"Let's be clear upfront, everything is official. You get what you put in, one part effort, one part reward. There might be more, but there will never be less."

Zhou Chu was a bit dazed by this sudden surprise.

Actually, being a regular 749 investigator wasn't anything great, at most it was an iron rice bowl.

But!

The 749 platform was huge!

An extraordinary talent could use this platform to raise their own ceiling even higher.

It was like state-owned enterprises and private enterprises.

In a private company, no matter how well you do, you only get money.

But a state-owned enterprise is different. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

Moreover, Zhou Chu was personally brought in by a big shot like Lu Ding. That ceiling...

Not only would there be money, but also power, status.

Unthinkable.

He had originally thought that after following Lu Ding out, his future would be about running errands, wearing gloves to do things the Special Envoy couldn't do due to his status.

Who knew!!!

Lu Ding actually wanted him to become an investigator.

As for his thoughts...

It was just as well Lu Ding couldn't read minds.

Otherwise, he would surely be puzzled.

"There are things I can't do? There are things I can't do but you can?"

"You're quite confident."

Zhou Chu snapped back to reality from his joy: "I will definitely not fail the Special Envoy's expectations!!!"

His words were firm and resounding.

In that brief moment of swirling thoughts, he had also made his preparations.

Endure!!

Endure and build seniority!

Currently, within the Great Han, it's mostly a time of peace and prosperity. Minor merits and contributions are easy to earn, but the major achievements needed for promotion, salary raises, and climbing the ladder are hard to come by.

The only way is to endure, build seniority, diligently improve one's cultivation and abilities, quietly wait for the day the opportunity arrives, seize it, and soar to the heavens!

Lu Ding took off flying, but he also said: "I believe in you, but it might be a bit tiring later. I'm too short on people, so you better be prepared."

Zhou Chu followed suit: "I'm not afraid of being tired. I'm prepared at all times!"

At the same time, he was also curious and full of anticipation in his heart.

Where would he be assigned to join the 749 Bureau?

Beyond Fengkou City was an uninhabited zone. Crossing that zone led to other countries. Next to Fengkou City were still other directly-administered municipalities.

Unless you went back the way you came, or flew to the side, could you reach a province...

He subconsciously didn't count the new city in his mind.

After all, it was common knowledge that the new city was semi-abandoned by the Great Han.

Someone of Lu Ding's status, with his noble identity, powerful talent, and high combat strength, how could he possibly be assigned to such a place?

This was a case of limited experience and narrow vision.

Someone like Liang Fang, the Deputy Director of Fengkou City's 749 Bureau, could see the deeper meaning behind the Special Envoy's assignment to the new city.

But it was also because the new city and the Great Han were separated by an uninhabited zone.

Therefore, Lu Ding wasn't afraid that the commotion he stirred up here would be detected by the Wuwang members over in the new city.

As long as the Fengkou City 749 Bureau here casually blocked the news, relying solely on word of mouth, it would take a long time for the news to reach the new city.

To put it bluntly, the new city was essentially an exclave of the Great Han.

It was originally obtained through exchange, purchase, or conquest.

Rather than saying it belonged to the Great Han, it's more accurate to say it was originally a no-man's-land fought over and carved up by those outside countries.

It's just that the Great Han had a strong hand and could offer the bargaining chips for the transaction, so it ended up in the Great Han's hands.

In the future, this place would be akin to a national gateway.

Once the new city had a problem and was breached, the uninhabited zone would be the first, most brutal and solid line of defense.

The area was vast and wide, with no people, giving the Great Han enough room to deploy and fight.

Otherwise, why would such a good place be an uninhabited zone?

If the new city developed well, it could drive the development of this untamed uninhabited zone, freely shaping it to aid the new city and connect it to the interior of the Great Han.

It was a place capable of both civil and military approaches, able to advance for attack and retreat for defense.

Over here, Lu Ding and Zhou Chu were still on their way.

The uninhabited zone was too vast;they couldn't fly across it in a short while.

On the other side.

After regaining consciousness, the unconscious Deputy Sect Leader of the Liberation Sect returned to his own sect without a word.

When he arrived outside the sect's grand hall.

He saw the young man wearing an old man's tank top and large shorts, holding a chisel and hammer, carving and sculpting a stone as massive as a mountain.

Pieces of rubble constantly fell.

The moment Feng Renyan saw the man, his calves felt a bit cramped.

He stood still for quite a while before daring to approach.

Just as he was about to speak: "Sect Lead..."

The Liberation Sect Sect Leader turned his head: "Shh."

"Was it your left foot or right foot when you stepped on the last step just now?"

Feng Renyan's heart skipped a beat, his Adam's apple moving unnaturally: "Le... left foot?"

Instantly.

A figure suddenly loomed over him, a hammer held high, white light gleaming in his eyes, veins bulging on his face, neck, and forehead.

"I'm averse to left today!!!!!"

Thud!!!!

One hammer!!!

Directly smashed Feng Renyan into the dirt.

It struck him until he saw stars.

His head swayed unsteadily, his speech broken: "Sec... Sect Leader... I didn't do it on purpose, I didn't know Zhou Huo would..."

The Liberation Sect Sect Leader placed a finger vertically against his lips: "Shh."

"Let me ask you again, think carefully before answering. Was it your left foot or right foot when you stepped on the last step just now?"

Feng Renyan's face was deathly pale, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth: "Ri... right foot?"
