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

He smiled and patted Lu Ding’s shoulder: ”You can look forward to it. This time, you’ve really hit the jackpot. The rewards definitely won’t be small - probably so substantial that even I’ll envy you.”

”This thing is too important. We’re ordinary people, so let’s speak plainly behind closed doors.”

”Next, just prepare to quietly wait for the notification about your promotion and wealth, Lu Ding.”

These words were too direct and wouldn’t sound good said publicly.

But behind closed doors, they were simple and easy to understand.

Now even the Deputy Director General said so.

Lu Ding’s heart was filled with anticipation.

He originally thought he had scored big this time, but it turned out the Rabbit Head worth thirty thousand contribution points was just an appetizer.

The main course was still to come.

Lu Ding’s smile was relatively reserved.Deputy Director Lü made a sound: ”Hey, there’s nobody else here, damn it. Come on, laugh with me.”

The two looked at each other.

”HAHAHAHAHAHA......” x2

An Wuyang and the assistant beside them: ........

For a moment, they didn’t know what to say.

Now that things were going well for Lu Ding, of course he couldn’t forget An Wuyang.

”Deputy Director Lü, regarding this operation, I’d like to specifically mention An Wuyang. He performed outstandingly, handled matters steadily, efficiently facilitated task completion, and actively cooperated with operational actions.”

”During the process, he extrapolated from one example to understand the whole situation, identifying gaps and making up for deficiencies in my actions and plans. He made indispensable contributions to this mission, and I won’t keep all the glory to myself.”

Hearing this, even An Wuyang himself was stunned.

Did I... actually do all these things?

This was the art of report embellishment. With only two people total, how could he not be considered outstanding?

Not speaking much - how could that not be considered steady?

Being dragged along by Lu Ding for a speedrun - how could that not be considered efficient? Following orders to attack whoever needed attacking - that’s active cooperation.

Deputy Director Lü nodded: ”I’ve noted your report.”

Then he looked at An Wuyang: ”Now in front of Lu Ding, I can guarantee you one thing - I agree to all the requirements you previously mentioned!!”

”Besides agreeing, I’ll even add some extras. But these detailed matters, stay behind later and we’ll discuss them slowly.”

Others might not understand, but Lu Ding understood perfectly.

Considering An Wuyang’s identity as a royal descendant, there were certainly matters that would be inconvenient for him to hear.

As for what exactly, Lu Ding didn’t care.

Having situational awareness makes everyone comfortable.

”Then Deputy Director Lü, you can chat first. I’ll take my leave. Last time I saw something good in the repository but didn’t have enough contribution points. Now I do, so I must go claim it!”

He casually offered an easy excuse to exit.

Deputy Director Lü went along with it.

”Hahahaha, I know you’re the Impatient Grand Duke. When you’re done with your business, send a message and we’ll have a simple meal together.”

This wasn’t just polite talk.

A meal might be polite talk, but a simple meal definitely wasn’t.

Lu Ding: ???

Impatient Grand Duke? Who spread that around?!

’If I find out who you are, I’ll plant you in the ground in minutes’

Collecting his thoughts.

Lu Ding said his goodbyes.

Leaving the office, he followed the signs to the 749 Bureau’s meditation chamber.

Closing the door and pulling out his phone, it was time for the beloved shopping session - just spending, just having money!!!

Location refreshed.

Address information instantly switched to 749 Bureau headquarters.

That thing, the expanded shopping page was completely different, full of prestige.

With just a little filtering, everything was top-notch quality items.

【Moon-Guiding Osmanthus】

【Price: Nine thousand contribution points】

【Cold nature, highly nourishing, moon shadow leaves seeds, every fifteenth full moon, one can see figures dancing on the branches......】

”Even has dancing special effects?”

Interesting, never seen that before.

Got money? Bought it! Gonna taste it and see what’s up!

【Immortal-Receiving Wine】

【Price: Thirteen thousand】

【Refined from multiple precious heavenly materials, unique flavor for each person, extremely nourishing, remarkably effective. Only drawback: effects reduced for those with poor constitution or low alcohol tolerance】

Unique flavor for each person...

What would my flavor be?

Constitution? Alcohol tolerance?

Lu Ding raised one finger: ”I can drink forever!”

Got money? Bought it! Gonna taste it and see what’s up!!

【Yellow Millet Dream】

【Price: Fifteen thousand】

【Dreaming of immortals, four seasons of millet, best taken with fine wine. The wonderful aspects, experience for yourself (definitely worth buying)】

”Even has drinking snacks!?”

Already bought the wine, can’t skip the snacks, right?

And it says experience the wonderful aspects yourself.

Lu Ding loved this kind of mysterious, vague description.

Fifteen thousand.

That’s the same price as Tai Island’s national treasure, the five-colored deer antler.

Last time Lu Ding didn’t get to eat the five-colored deer antler, and that was healing stuff anyway. This time, for the same price of heavenly materials, he must claim it!!

Got money? Bought it! Gonna taste it and see what’s up!

His wallet instantly bottomed out. The thirty-eight thousand contribution points he just received now had only one thousand left.

Couldn’t do anything with that.

Might as well keep it as a reserve.

Not long after Lu Ding placed his order.

A hidden compartment opened in the meditation chamber wall.

Three exquisitely packaged heavenly materials were delivered.

Lu Ding opened the Yellow Millet Dream packaging. Those translucent amber-like sorghum grains, each about the size of a peanut, made their appearance.

Seeing this, Lu Ding smiled.

He was already used to it.

Since seeing the Ten-Thousand-Year White that looked like a radish, nothing would surprise him anymore.

Casually popping open the Immortal-Receiving Wine cork, an indescribable fragrance shot straight to the top of his head.

Lu Ding took a small sip.

”Hmm..... light aroma type?”

Maybe not entirely accurate. Grabbing the sorghum grains, he poured them into his mouth, took a few more sips of wine - he wanted to properly test the flavors.

As the Yellow Millet Dream entered his system, an extremely strong grain aroma exploded in Lu Ding’s mouth. The faint flavor was sweet but not cloying, and the texture wasn’t the crisp shell he imagined.

Instead, it was meaty and chewy.

The already limited Yellow Millet Dream - Lu Ding couldn’t resist and stuffed it all into his mouth.

Well, no helping it now. Worried the Yellow Millet Dream’s medicinal effects might not fully manifest.

He could only pick up the Immortal-Receiving Wine, tilt his head back and chug it, glug glug glug......

Going down fast, entering quickly.

The alcohol hit.

Finally, he stuffed the Moon-Guiding Osmanthus and Three-Pass Heaven Pill into his mouth.

Chewing away, Lu Ding’s cheeks flushed red.

”Urgh.......”

His body jerked with a hiccup.

Holding the mysteriously twisted wine bottle, Lu Ding tugged at his collar.

”Wasn’t this supposed to be light aroma? What did they put in this thing? Why is it so hot......”

Thud....

Lu Ding lay down, staring straight at the spinning ceiling.

Unconsciously, he actually saw blue skies and white clou... hmm???

Where did the blue skies and white clouds come from?

Lu Ding abruptly sat up.

He didn’t know when it happened, but the surroundings had transformed into plains of grain fields under blue skies and white clouds.

The area was empty.

Aside from an old yellow ox and an old man plowing the fields, there was nothing else.

Don’t think Lu Ding was drunk now, but his mind was still sharp.

Didn’t even need to ask.

Pointing at the old man: ”In this kind of situation, you must be the one with issues!!!”

Considering he had consumed benign heavenly materials, not poison.

So......

Lu Ding staggered to his feet and strode over.

Kicked the ox away.

”It’s not as useful as me.”

Saying this, Lu Ding put the plow on himself and started pulling it forward.

The momentum was so startling that the old man was shocked. The efficiency was beyond description.

”Young man, wait!!!! Young man!!!! That’s not how it’s done!!! Wait!!! We need to take it slow, can’t keep up!!!”

The old man shouted while slapping his thighs.

Outside, when the old yellow ox was plowing, the speed at which heaven and earth’s spiritual energy poured into Lu Ding’s meditation chamber could be called gradual progression.

But ever since Lu Ding put the plow around his neck.

The spiritual energy went crazy!!!!

Heaven and earth changed color, hurricanes swept in, all that was being scraped up was spiritual energy.

Above the meditation chamber, they even managed to create a typhoon eye.
