First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!-Chapter 713: My Primary Identity—Xincheng Special Commissioner, Corpse-Slaying Taisui, Lu Ding!

Faced with this request from him, Fu Xinghe felt quite helpless.

Meeting his expectant gaze.

Fu Xinghe was also quite speechless.

He could only turn around and look at Zhou Chu. "If it were possible, I would also really like to go on a mission."

"But I'm afraid my main investigator would not agree."

The problem was tossed out, piquing curiosity.

Zhou Chu almost subconsciously asked, "Who is your main investigator?"

Fu Xinghe slightly raised his head. "The New City Special Envoy, the Corpse-Shattering Taishui, Lu Ding!"

Zhou Chu: "Huh?"

He was directly dumbfounded on the spot.

Damn it...

He was trying to poach someone and ended up targeting his own bureau's special envoy.

This scared the hell out of Zhou Chu.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry, apologies apologies apologies, I didn't know, I..."

He could be considered teachable, applying what he learned, seriously studying things.

The apology Lu Ding had just taught him earlier.

See.

He used it immediately.

Fu Xinghe patted his shoulder. "It's fine, it's normal you didn't know."

The words "it's fine" sounded very comfortable to Zhou Chu.

Now he truly understood what Lu Ding meant.

The meaning that everyone makes mistakes.

Just now, that was his misjudgment of the situation.

And his apology led to forgiveness.

"Let's go. Although I can't act with you, I can arrange for another person to temporarily work with you. You can learn together."

"Who?"

Zhou Chu's tone held some anticipation.

Fu Xinghe smiled mysteriously. "His name is Qin Jinghao. Like you, he's also at the Fourth Restriction. He's a bit younger than you. His approach to things and actions is more aggressive. Look out for him a bit more later."

Now, the 749 Bureau investigators under Lu Ding, how should one put it.

It's strange.

In normal 749 Bureau locations, there are usually more assistant investigators.

After all, combat is something that heavily relies on talent. Only those with high cultivation realms and sufficient combat strength can serve as the spearhead, ensuring relentless forward momentum. It requires both a high ceiling and a high floor.

As for assistant investigators, they aren't as talent-dependent. Having auxiliary abilities and being familiar with procedures can make one a most basic assistant investigator.

It has a low floor, but the ceiling can be high, though assistant investigators with high ceilings are rare.

Right now, this 749 Bureau branch is basically all combat personnel.

Things like procedural auxiliary abilities, these specialized skills that require learning and cultivation, the original 749 Bureau members couldn't professionalize them.

Moreover, whether it's Qin Jinghao, Zhou Chu, or even Zhan Tingzhou, they all have intricate connections with Lu Ding.

So pairing them together.

Would be better.

If both the assistant and main investigators share a common point of admiration, or a person they are loyal to and revere, then when working, facing choices, they won't stubbornly cling to their own views and create divisions.

As for procedural issues, they can slowly compare notes with their manuals. Anyway, the current Path of Dry Bones doesn't require following any procedures. Just see trouble and fight!

At this moment, Zhou Chu, hearing there was someone with a similar cultivation realm but younger than him.

Felt the whole thing was incredible.

He was the strongest of his generation in the Liberation Sect, yet someone could keep pace with him.

And!!

Was even younger than him.

And came from a chaotic place like New City.

For a moment.

Zhou Chu silently raised his evaluation of New City in his heart.

Indeed, one must not underestimate the people of the world!

"Yes, Secretary Fu!"

The two began the onboarding procedures.

At the same time, on the other side.

Lu Ding successfully arrived at the Zhan Family.

Inside the secret chamber.

Zhan Tingzhou pointed at the black pigment surging in the measuring cup, resembling something like a venom symbiote, and said.

"Summon your great robe. Let me compare and see if there's any color difference."

Lu Ding raised his hand in a sweeping motion.

The [Jingzhu Dan Imprint Robe] fluttered out.

The moment the great robe appeared.

The surging pigment in the measuring cup suddenly stopped.

As if it was examining the [Jingzhu Dan Imprint Robe] which shared its color.

Lu Ding watched curiously. "Is this thing alive?"

Zhan Tingzhou, while carefully observing to determine if there was a color difference, said, "You could say it's alive. It has sentience."

Pigment refined from the death of life, of course it has sentience.

Zhan Tingzhou continued to add, "Moreover, its heat resistance, cold resistance, extensibility, conductivity, memory properties are all perfect. Most importantly, it also has regenerative properties."

"As long as even a trace remains, it can regenerate by killing enemies and taking life."

"Oh, right, it can also reduce the wear and tear on weapons and artifacts during use, and has a maintenance effect on weapons and artifacts."

This is simply divine-grade pigment.

Reincarnators have so many methods.

Lu Ding moved a bit closer and asked a question most common in old-school novels. "Then, does it have growth potential?"

After all, in old-school novel protagonists' circles, even the most ordinary mutt has unlimited growth potential.

But this time, he might be disappointed.

Zhan Tingzhou shook his head. "That, it doesn't have. But I can continuously upgrade it for you. As long as my cultivation realm is sufficient, I can increase its upper limit."

After all, this thing was produced by him using the Five-Colored Divine Light.

As long as his cultivation realm climbs higher, the Five-Colored Divine Light becomes more powerful, and the more demons, ghosts, monsters, and people he kills with it, the higher the upper limit of this pigment will be.

Alright then, a dedicated pigment master and maintenance technician.

Lu Ding couldn't be more satisfied.

He turned to look at Zhan Tingzhou. "How are you resting up now?"

Zhan Tingzhou understood Lu Ding's meaning. "Good, very good. Ready to continue devoting myself to the Path of Dry Bones mission at any time."

These past few days, although he had been focused on refining pigment and strengthening his cultivation.

He had also been paying attention to the situation outside.

While he couldn't know everything, he was aware of the general situation.

"Alright. Then bring it along. Let's go sign for the petal first, then you can go back and report for duty."

Zhan Tingzhou silently began packing the pigment.

Feeling even more comfortable inside.

Before Lu Ding returned, he had imagined many scenarios, like whether Lu Ding would proactively bring up the matter of Yu Ci with him, or other things.

But he didn't.

Although Zhan Tingzhou could talk about this matter.

It was also a scar in his heart.

Every time he showed it to others, he needed to tear off the scab, revealing the bloody wound beneath.

This kind of problem shouldn't be pondered deeply. If pondered, it would be disgusting. For example, after Yu Ci ambushed him in his previous life, whether she got together with that person.

Whether she cheated on him.

Or, whether Yu Ci had already gotten together with that person before ambushing him.

A man, encountering such problems, shouldn't think too deeply.

The only thing to do is cut the Gordian knot swiftly. People in the present shouldn't be troubled by past matters.

It's like when a guy breaks up, he calls his bro out. The bro doesn't ask what they're doing or where they're going. If you call, he comes out immediately, ready to go anywhere.

If you say let's drink, he won't ask questions, just drinks, talking about other topics, both being silly and happy together.

Forgetting other pains and troubles, facing life again.

This is friendship.

Plain and ordinary, yet possessing a depth weighty enough to move anyone.

Zhan Tingzhou was no exception. This time, in his interactions with Lu Ding, he felt the respect between friends.
