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

At this moment, those countries plotting to accuse Lu Ding remained unaware.

They seemed to have sent Lu Ding away.

But in reality, they had unleashed all the destined protagonists and destined antagonists that Lu Ding had been suppressing.

The era of prodigies, where one performance ends and another begins, was about to commence!!

Suddenly.

The Tai Island side realized a problem.

[Tai Island: But Lu Ding’s cultivation doesn’t meet the requirements for ascending to the Second Circle. He was only at Earth Observation before, and even if he’s now broken through to Heavenly Perception, it shouldn’t be high enough to reach the Ninth Heavenly Perception standard for ascension]

[White Eagle: Fuck, you idiots!!! Exception! Exception, understand? Your intelligence is as lacking as your height!!!]

[White Eagle: Are we looking at his cultivation level? We’re looking at his combat power!!!]

[White Eagle: As long as we insist his combat power exceeds standards, we can send him up. Previously, Great Han’s Yunhai 749 made an exception to fast-track him, and before that, 749 had never had any fast-tracking precedents][White Eagle: Since we’ve already made one exception for Lu Ding, what’s wrong with making another exception?]

[After he goes up, we’ll jointly eliminate this exception, seal it away - doesn’t that mean there was never any exception?]

The Tai Island side paused.

That seemed to make sense.

It could work! We can do this!!!

Just thinking about Lu Ding’s powerful stance and terrifying pressure displayed previously in international waters made these Heavenly Perception operatives from Tai Island tremble involuntarily.

They didn’t want to follow in Kaminoue Kazuo’s footsteps.

[Tai Island: We will cooperate]

With Tai Island’s agreement, the national war thus concluded.

Various countries worked through the night drafting compensation plans and territorial division agreements.

Incidentally, they sent ceasefire applications to Great Han.

At dawn, when the first rays of sunlight tore through the darkness, Qiu Fu arrived stepping on the wind, landing on Yunhai 749’s island front line.

Before everyone,

He loudly announced the news of Tai Island’s surrender.

Instantly, cheers surged like tidal waves.

”We won!!!!!”

”Wrong! Not precise enough!! You should say we won again!!!!”

”Hahahahaha right! We won again!!!!”

”Damn, we beat up Tai Island once more!!!!”

”I’m a hero!!! I need to call my mom!!!!”

”Grandfather, do you see this from heaven? Back in your day, you followed Great Han to beat up Tai Island, and today, your grandson followed Great Han to beat up Tai Island again!!”

Someone declared proudly: ”Three generations serving Han, now our family has three generations serving Han! My grandfather took my grandmother to fight the little Japs back then, my father followed Great Han to hammer the Wei Gao bastards, and in my generation, I’ve both fought the Japs and hammered the bastards!!”

Some unorthodox cultivators cried tears of joy.

Weeping while calling home, shouting loudly:

”Old man!! Listen to me, I’m not some crooked unorthodox cultivator - I followed Great Han to beat both the Japs and bastards into surrender! I’m coming home for New Year this year, you can’t chase me out anymore!!! No way!! I still want to eat the dumplings you make yourself!! Don’t let mom make them!! I want yours!! The ones you make! You cook for me!!”

At a glance, one could see all aspects of human life - flowers bloom in different reds, people differ from one another.

Everyone had their own story.

Lu Ding scanned each person like this.

Finally.

Qiu Fu came over and stood beside him.

”Senior investigator shoulder insignia, battlefield hero medals, promotion reports with gold stamping, the highest treatment at your level - all these are prepared for you. Are you ready?”

Lu Ding smiled. Wasn’t life all about these things?

Power, authority, wealth, fame - he lacked none.

And they came honorably!

Lu Ding responded to Qiu Fu’s words: ”Leader, just tell me when I’ll get them?”

”Hahahaha, you’ll get them as soon as we return!”

”Yunhai Grand Auditorium - enter and go wild! Deputy Director General will confer honors, Director General will pin medals, flashbulbs will blind you, Heavenly Perception operatives will sit in rows applauding you.”

”No need for you to travel arduously to meet anyone - your glory is enough to make everyone come to meet you!!!”

Should someone of such great merit and labor still need to personally go elsewhere to receive honors? Accept awards?

Ridiculous - who exactly is the hero here?

The hero must be received with the most grand, most solemn manner, arranged directly at home!!!

Since Lu Ding is Yunhai’s investigator, this awards ceremony must be held in Yunhai!!!

And it must be done extravagantly.

Summon all the directors and deputy directors from across the nation to personally witness the awarding of honors to this hero who single-handedly rapidly propelled the war toward victory.

Hearing this, Lu Ding thought to himself:

Great!

Another chance to show off big time!

Before he could get excited,

The Yunhai 749 Director Chu Gexiao and Deputy Director Chu Jiabao beside him simultaneously straightened their clothes, puffing out their chests like victorious roosters.

Pride!!!

This is their Yunhai 749 investigator!

Boasting time - do any of you other places have someone like this?

As the saying goes, when one man achieves the Dao, even his chickens and dogs ascend to heaven. This year, Yunhai 749 will definitely become number one in the nation because of Lu Ding!!!

Lu Ding spoke: ”Shall I go back and wait then?”

Qiu Fu responded: ”Shall I arrange things quickly then?”

The two smiled at each other.

Deputy Director Chu stepped forward, raised his hand, and shouted with a voice that echoed across the entire front line: ”Pack up! We’re! Going! Home!!!”

The cool morning breeze on the island, alongside the busy figures, subtly marked the passage of time. As the sea breeze brought the midday heat, all members of Yunhai 749 returned home.

During the final troop withdrawal,

Qiu Fu stopped Lu Ding, who was preparing to withdraw with Yan Feifan and others: ”I heard you’re accomplished in both literary and martial arts. Leave me some particularly arrogant lines?”

Lu Ding looked puzzled: ”Here? Now?”

Qiu Fu smiled mysteriously: ”Yes.”

Lu Ding thought for a moment.

Yan Feifan beside him immediately pulled paper and pen from his bag, spreading them out in his hands.

”Brother Lu, please!”

Poetry requires atmosphere - saying it dryly now wouldn’t capture the essence.

Writing it down and spreading it would let people imagine the context themselves!

Lu Ding took the pen, his strength penetrating through the paper.

[Where sea ends, sky becomes shore; when mountain peaks, I become summit]

”Where sea ends, sky becomes shore; when mountain peaks, I become summit...”

Qiu Fu recited it once.

Arrogant!

This is truly arrogant!

With these two lines, Qiu Fu gained new understanding of Lu Ding’s arrogance.

If anyone else had said this, they’d probably get beaten so badly their own mother wouldn’t recognize them.

Since ancient times, there’s no first in literature, no second in martial arts - and you dare claim to be the shore and summit?

But just.

This was Lu Ding saying it.

The number one prodigy of the new generation, the champion of combat power upon entering Heavenly Perception - as summit and shore, who would dare not submit!?

”Accomplished in both civil and martial arts, no wonder you dare wear scholar-warrior sleeves.”

Qiu Fu carefully accepted the ink treasure: ”Pressing for time, I won’t say more. We’ll meet then.”

With that, he ascended directly to the heavens, leaving one final sentence: ”Lu Ding, remember to watch the news!!!”

Yan Feifan beside him instantly understood, excitedly saying: ”Brother Lu, you’re going to become famous!”

”Later, newspaper headlines, top search trends, heroes and prodigies willingly taking second place - if one doesn’t know Grand Duke Lu, even calling themselves heroic would be in vain. Snow weighing down branches lands bowing in submission, precious porcelain and bright pearls avoiding the cauldron shatter upon touch.”
