First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!

.....

As Yan Feifan issued the party-forming mission in Lu Ding's name.

For a moment.

The entire western 749 Bureau went crazy again.

Enough said, no more blabbering!

Whether it was the original investigators from the western region or those who followed Lu Ding from Hanjing to the west later on.

How many of them had experienced a rhythm of minor skirmishes every day and major battles every three days?

Sure, there were risks, but the rewards were high.

The new city was already chaotic, and under the jurisdiction of the western region, there were missions to do every single day.

Never underestimate the thought processes of those with scrambled brains.

Even though the western region was under Lu Ding's management, there would still be people or demons bold enough to commit crimes and cause trouble.

Of course, none of them were particularly significant.

Those with weight would think twice about Lu Ding.

Those without weight would always cling to wishful thinking.

But even if they existed, to Lu Ding, they were small fry, but to the western investigators, they were walking contribution points.

Endless work every single day.

And it had only been a few days since they went out on assignment to the south, as if it were yesterday.

And now they were forming a party again.

Let's be honest, some of those investigators injured in the south last time still hadn't fully recovered.

The moment they saw the mission Lu Ding had posted.

They dropped their paid leave, stopped recuperating in the hospital, tore off their bandages, and went, "Damn it, let's do this!!!!!"

The bold survive, the timid starve.

Making a fortune was today.

Had anyone ever gone out with Lu Ding and not come back loaded?

That was trust, that was value.

If it weren't for the realm and strength requirements on the posted mission, the entire western region, with its hundreds of thousands of investigators, would all want to go on the assignment with Lu Ding.

Watching the number of mission participants rise continuously.

Zhan Tingzhou thought for a moment and said, "Lu Ding, bring Bai Hemen and Huangfu Lingyun along."

Even though when they had hot pot last time, Zhan Tingzhou noticed that these two hadn't developed yet, their realms were insufficient, and their strength wasn't up to par!

But!

Let's be honest, this was done without their knowledge, stepping on their shoulders to walk the path they originally took to make a fortune.

Now they were colleagues.

Taking them along to share the meat and soup wasn't too much, was it?

Logically speaking, Bai Hemen and the others' cultivation levels weren't enough. Even if Lu Ding wanted to bring them, it wouldn't be quite proper. He couldn't exactly fail to set a good example, appoint people by favoritism, and pull strings. Moreover, hastily inserting a weak link would bring unnecessary risks.

The two of them were still a bit weak, and Lu Ding was genuinely worried about their safety.

But now that Zhan Tingzhou had said so.

Lu Ding nodded without asking further. "Alright."

He immediately sent messages to Bai Hemen and Huangfu Lingyun. At worst, he would just watch out for them. They were his friends, after all.

Suddenly, a thought struck him. "Feifan, have you seen Wang Qingge lately? What's she been up to? Why hasn't she shown her face?"

"Brother Lu, Sister Qingge has been in seclusion the whole time. Nothing much has been happening. She's just been cultivating."

"But, because the dormitory you arranged for me is close to hers, I've been feeling a bit creeped out for no reason. I don't know why."

"And you know her situation. I feel like Sister Qingge might be cooking up something big."

Lu Ding pondered after hearing this.

Wang Qingge's strength was very mysterious. The path she walked was different from everyone else's, even different from Lu Ding's.

Given the Cthulhu attached to her.

This thing was indescribable, purely capable of achieving the impossible.

And it was an unimaginable entity.

No one knew what kind of miracle she could pull off.

"Alright, just ask her. If that's the case, let her focus on cultivating."

Soon.

Bai Hemen and Huangfu Lingyun knocked and entered.

The two of them had originally planned to go on missions.

But they were called over by Lu Ding midway.

Xiao Bai asked, "You wanted to see me?"

Lu Ding nodded. "I'm taking you both on a mission later."

The moment he heard this.

Bai Hemen's eyes clearly lit up. Such emotional fluctuation was quite intense for him.

He hadn't expected to have the chance to go on a mission with Lu Ding so soon.

But the excitement only needed a moment.

After Bai Hemen's own burst of excitement, he shot a glance that suppressed Huangfu Lingyun, who was about to get excited too.

Instantly deflating him.

Then Bai Hemen said, "No, we're too weak. We'd only hold you back."

Huangfu Lingyun swore he had never felt so annoyed.

What did he mean "we're too weak"!?

What! Did he mean! We're too weak!!!

Don't drag me into this, alright!!

I'm at the Second Prohibition early stage! Second Prohibition!!!!

Of course, even though he didn't want to admit he was weak, he had to compare himself to the right person.

Compared to Lu Ding, he was still willing to concede defeat.

He immediately grumbled in agreement, "He's right."

Lu Ding smiled and stepped forward. "If I say you're going, then you're going. This is a team mission, not a solo outing. But there are no outsiders here."

"Let's get this straight in advance: it might be very dangerous, so you absolutely must be careful. Besides you two, everyone else on this mission is at least at the Fourth Restriction."

"If you're not careful, you could get treated as a soft target. But if the mission goes smoothly, by the time you get back, both your contribution points and your cultivation should jump up significantly. The future looks bright."

"With that said, are you still going to refuse?"

Under normal circumstances, Lu Ding trusted Zhan Tingzhou's intelligence, and he also believed in his own strength. So as long as they could find a breakthrough point, it would be a sure profit, and he would feast beautifully.

Since that was the case.

Lu Ding didn't mind bringing his friends along to share the wealth!

Bai Hemen wouldn't be coy. Most of his thoughts were straightforward. His initial refusal came from fear of holding Lu Ding back, but faced with the strong insistence in Lu Ding's tone.

Then Bai Hemen simply didn't know what refusal meant anymore.

He immediately nodded. "Alright!"

And just like that, the original Third Circle three-man team was fully assembled, and even expanded.

Beside them, Yan Feifan smiled.

Finally, it was finally back to how it used to be.

Soon, as the investigators under his command finished assembling.

There was nothing more to say, no pre-battle speeches.

It was just time to fight. In the west, Lu Ding's rules were the rules. They didn't ask where they were going or who they were fighting.

No matter where Lu Ding pointed, they would strike.

As for the aftermath.

They didn't ask either.

After all, Lu Ding had never let them down.

That was reputation.

That was trust.

The next step was to quietly slip out of the new city, no firing a shot, to avoid being discovered and having another incident like with Old Qian.

Once they were out of the new city area and past the uninhabited zone.

Lu Ding finally notified the Fengkou City 749 Bureau.

Informing them that they were on their way.

This was routine procedure. Last time, they hadn't notified in advance, which wasn't compliant, but there simply hadn't been enough time. Lu Ding was in the middle of chasing down the Dong family members back then.

This time, there was time.

So he let them know in advance, just to have a record.

At this moment.

On the other side.

Inside the Black Phoenix Gathering between Overcast Mountain and Raise Phoenix Mountain.

In a certain small courtyard.

All kinds of rare medicinal flowers competed in splendor.

Any one of them taken out would be worth a fortune.
