Perfect Villain Life: Universal Job Change-Chapter 151

Chapter 151: Our Military Department is Not Qin Family’s Dog!

With Li Yinglong’s intervention, the tense conflict that was about to erupt dissipated completely. After all, Li Yinglong was the Deputy Minister of the Military Department and a Level 76 quasi-Legendary powerhouse. Even Wen Yu had to bow her head.

Wen Yu exhaled slightly, a trace of gloom flashing in her eyes. If this were the Eastern Military Headquarters, even Li Yinglong wouldn’t dare to speak to her in such a condescending manner. Otherwise, he would have to face the wrath of the entire Eastern Military.

With Li Yinglong, the Empire’s Marshal, present, Wen Yu refrained from targeting Qin Xian. Her actions against Qin Xian were merely to vent her brother’s frustrations.

It was never going to harm Qin Xian fundamentally. The events set to unfold during the Void Hunting Trial would ultimately determine everything.

As long as she could catch evidence of the Qin Family colluding with the Military Department to orchestrate incidents during the trial, she would expose the news to the entire Empire.

At that point, under the pressure of public opinion nationwide, Qin Xian would face either death or exile to the Void Frontline.

Looking at her unwilling younger brother, Wen Yu patted Wen Xu’s shoulder to comfort him.

“Just wait. His arrogance won’t last much longer...” she said softly.

Wen Xu wasn’t privy to his sister’s plans, but he had always trusted her. He nodded silently.

After the commotion subsided, everyone waited quietly for the Void Hunting Trial to officially begin.

“Anran!”

Tang Siyuan appeared in front of Gu Anran, smiling as she greeted her.

Gu Anran immediately beamed, welcoming her close friend.

“Have you already formed your team?” Tang Siyuan asked, glancing at Wen Xu and the others.

Wen Xu merely nodded, his expression cold and silent. He was naturally a reserved person, only showing his gentle side to Wen Yu and Gu Anran. Toward other women, he was typically indifferent.

Tang Siyuan, although Gu Anran’s close friend, wasn’t someone Wen Xu liked. He always felt she was insincere and no different from those girls who chased fame and fortune. However, since Gu Anran trusted her, Wen Xu didn’t interfere.

Gu Anran nodded with a smile. “Yes, we’ve formed a five-person team!”

The two girls then walked to the side, whispering to each other. At one point, Tang Siyuan handed Gu Anran a small box-like item. Gu Anran returned with a cheerful expression.

“What were you two talking about?” Zhao Haoran asked curiously.

“Secret!” Gu Anran wrinkled her nose playfully, smiling sweetly.

Wen Xu frowned slightly. “What did Tang Siyuan give you just now?”

Gu Anran’s smile bloomed. “That’s also a secret!”

Wen Xu couldn’t help but be captivated by her innocent and charming smile.

Meanwhile, Gu Anran’s heart raced, her nervousness so intense that sweat beaded on the tip of her nose. The thrill of doing something sneaky while fearing discovery was both exhilarating and nerve-wracking.

Finally, after more than ten minutes, Wen Yu checked the time and nodded to Deputy Officer Sun. With an order, several professionals from the Eastern Military began channeling energy into a grand and imposing gateway.

The entire Void Plains trembled slightly as the trial space was activated.

Everyone turned solemn as the Void Hunting Trial officially began.

—

The Void Hunting Trial would last a total of 48 hours. It wasn’t level-restricted but was age-restricted to talents under 25 years old. However, those with Level 2 or higher access to the trial space could enter regardless of their level.

Inside the trial space were hundreds of data-simulated Void Elite Bosses. Participants earned points by defeating these monsters, with scores calculated based on the time taken and damage per second.

While participants could team up, their points would be diluted. Solo participants, however, could earn bonus points.

Rankings would determine the rewards, with the top three not only receiving rich experience and equipment rewards but also gaining attention from the Empire’s high-level officials, becoming key cultivation targets.

Each Void Hunting Trial drew the brightest talents from across the Imperial Capital.

With a deafening rumble, the trial space’s gateway slowly opened. A terrifying aura surged forth, filled with decay and eeriness, as bone-chilling cold spread outward. The oppressive void energy made everyone shiver involuntarily.

The purpose of the Void Hunting Trial was to select talents specifically for battling the Void. Essentially, the trial space replicated a real Void environment.

As the trial commenced, participants entered the portal one after another, preparing to test their skills.

Wen Xu led Gu Anran, Zhao Haoran, and the others into the trial space.

Wen Yu narrowed her eyes and nodded to Li Yinglong. “Marshal, I’ll take my leave first.”

As the host of the Void Hunting Trial, she had to head to the control hall to oversee the trial’s proceedings.

Li Yinglong smiled faintly and said, “Commander Wen, let me remind you, the Void Hunting Trial cannot afford any accidents. If anything happens, you’ll bear full responsibility.”

Wen Yu’s expression turned frosty, her voice cold. “That’s none of your concern.”

With that, she turned and left, her sleeves billowing behind her.

The officers around Li Yinglong looked visibly displeased. Wen Yu’s arrogance was intolerable.

Meanwhile, Qin Xian approached Li Yinglong, nodding respectfully. “Deputy Minister, I’ll take my leave as well.”

This time, Li Yinglong’s smile appeared genuinely warm. “Best of luck, Young Master Qin!” His words seemed to carry hidden meaning.

After Qin Xian departed, one officer approached Li Yinglong and spoke in a low, respectful tone. “Deputy Minister, everything is ready. Should we request further instructions from the Qin Family?”

“No need!” Li Yinglong’s face darkened slightly as he replied calmly, “This time, our Military Department is merely cooperating with the Qin Family.”

“There’s no need to follow their every instruction. The Military Department is not the Qin Family’s dog!”
