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

At this moment, their wills were united!

Great Jing, this could be considered as taking a calamity on behalf of the new city.

Otherwise, Lu Ding’s blade would have probably landed on the new city’s head.

Now it’s fine too; Great Jing is not Great Han. No matter how big the impact caused, it doesn’t matter. Let the fellow cultivators die, not this poor Daoist.

Moreover, those people in Great Jing who did those rotten things deserved to die!

Lu Ding regained his focus, stood up, and with his brand new Five Restrictions Late Stage cultivation, stepped out of the seclusion chamber’s door.

Compared to the chaotic sky over the new city.

Hanjing.

As soon as Lu Ding emerged, the bright sunlight instantly shone on his face.Under the sunlight.

The black background, red pupil of his left eye bloomed with a demonic, gem-like luster.

The Scarlet Pupil scanned the surroundings, a ferocious aura quietly emanating.

The pupil trembled slightly, the long-untrimmed hair tips hanging down, trying to cover this eye that was different from before.

Lu Ding reached out.

Like applying hair gel.

He slicked his hair directly back.

”Hiding is restraint, but we have the confidence not to hide.”

Whether it’s hiding one’s head and showing one’s tail, or deliberately acting mysterious, neither are things Lu Ding likes to do.

Either be utterly sinister to the extreme, or recklessly smash through everything.

”Brother Lu.”

Fu Xinghe’s voice came.

Just as usual.

Whenever Lu Ding was in seclusion, no matter the time or place, as soon as he emerged, Fu Xinghe would appear in his line of sight at the first possible moment.

Back in the Third Circle, Feifan was like this too.

Lu Ding looked over.

His gaze met Fu Xinghe’s.

When Fu Xinghe saw Lu Ding’s changed left eye, he immediately said,

”Brother Lu, your eye looks so cool.”

Tsk, this sentence made the left eye tremble slightly.

Lu Ding curled the corner of his mouth: ”Great Jing limited edition skin, has to be different.”

Hearing this, Fu Xinghe continued down that topic: ”Speaking of Great Jing, Brother Lu, Uncle sent a message saying the materials and intelligence are all ready. Once you’re out of seclusion, you can go over to hand over and receive them. After that, we can take the team and set off directly.”

”Still need to bring people? How many?”

Lu Ding asked, though he actually didn’t want to bring any so-called team.

Makes it feel like a pilgrimage to the Western Heaven for scriptures.

Fewer people are more convenient.

But for a diplomatic mission, not bringing enough people... lacks grandeur.

This time, he represents Great Han.

It’s not like sneaking into Wei Gao in the Third Circle.

This time it’s open and aboveboard!

”Should be around eight hundred. The exact number isn’t known yet; you’ll need to verify it personally.”

”Eight hundred it is, then. First, go hand over and receive the materials. Let’s go.”

Lu Ding stepped forward.

Fu Xinghe followed behind.

As the assistant investigator, wherever the main investigator takes a step, he must take a step.

Straight ahead, then turning corners, a guard post every three steps, a checkpoint every five steps.

The Director-General’s office is strict indeed.

Before long, the two arrived at their destination.

Fu Xinghe stepped forward and lightly knocked on the office door.

A ’come in’ came from inside.

They pushed the door and entered.

It was still Secretary Qiu and Elder Shui.

It wasn’t that others didn’t want to come see this Lu Ding who had continuously set records and was now famous throughout Hanjing.

Rather, the 749 Bureau strictly prohibits forming cliques.

The so-called hawk faction and dove faction are merely traces left by different personalities in handling affairs and frequent disagreements in opinions.

They are also inevitable outcomes caused by relationships.

On the surface, each department is its own entity. Without tasks or special circumstances, it’s best not to interact with each other, to ensure the impartiality of operations between departments and avoid playing the emotional card.

But after work hours, the higher-ups don’t care anymore.

As long as it’s not too excessive, anything goes.

”Lu Ding is here?”

”Xiao Lu, quick, quick, quick, come help me study this. How did they add these characters?”

”I want to make a few too.”

Lu Ding took the phone.

He saw on the screen a small group chat of about a dozen people.

Everyone was showing off their profile pictures, with various elderly special effects paired with text.

For example.

One big shot surnamed Wang used a photo of himself standing alone on a high mountain as his profile picture, with a huge flashing ’Wang’ character right on top of his head.

He was still showing off in the group:

[My little grandson made this for me. Cool, right?]

Below were replies from other big shots.

Various thumbs-up, flowers.

[I’ll have my grandson make one for me too]

[Look, my granddaughter made this for me, and there are flowers too]

[My great-granddaughter, twenty years old, Five Restrictions Late Stage cultivation, the number one genius in our province. Our photo together, she added special effects to it. Just ask, is this cool or not?]

Lu Ding looked at the chat records, his eyes subtly glancing at Elder Shui.

Although the little old man didn’t say it, his eyes were full of envy.

Lu Ding glanced back at Secretary Qiu.

He moved his lips, but made no sound.

’Too busy’

Lu Ding understood.

”I’ll make one for you.”

Elder Shui smiled, rubbing the back of his hand: ”Good, that’ll do.”

Putting the phone in his bag, pushing Elder Shui, Lu Ding called out: ”Xinghe, come help us take a photo.”

The three walked out.

Within the Hanjing Director-General’s office, there are mountains if you want mountains, water if you want water.

They found an ancient pavilion by a lake with beautiful scenery, a picturesque landscape of mountains and water.

Lu Ding continuously adjusted to find the perfect angle.

Finally, with the shimmering lake and mountain colors as the background, the willow branches swaying in the wind setting the mood, Spiritual Energy quietly activated. In an instant, the sky and earth turned gloomy, [Bloodstorm] suddenly arrived to support the atmosphere. Mist thinly veiled, wind and rain moved together, lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, as if an ink wash painting.

Lu Ding pushed Elder Shui, with the daylight sky left behind them.

He made the Sin Dragon gather form, emerging from the lake surface.

A mood similar to the Rainy West Lake, combined with the Sin Dragon emerging from the water, grand ink wash, freely splashing heroic spirit.

The moment the picture froze.

Hawk’s bearing, dragon’s form.

The smiling Elder Shui, relaxed and in full control, thus revealing no imposing aura. Lu Ding, looking straight ahead, possessed the confidence to face everything openly, thus unrestrained and flamboyant, young and vigorous.

The character for ’pride’ filled the screen, sharp and prominent.

Lu Ding took the phone, satisfied in his heart, and showed it to Elder Shui: ”What do you think?”

The moment the old man saw the photo, his eyes lit up.

”Good, good, good. It would be even better with a character added, hahahahaha. Just this one, I like this one.”

Elderly people have their unique aesthetics.

No need to change them.

Lu Ding got to work, directly adding the character ’Shui’.

He handed it back to Elder Shui: ”How about this?”

Elder Shui was satisfied, but his eyes looked somewhat guilty as he glanced at Lu Ding: ”Xiao Lu, could you... add yours too?”

At this moment.

The old man who oversaw Great Han with a hawk’s gaze shed the divine halo of sitting aloof amidst frost and sky, leaving only that unconcealable restraint and caution.

Lu Ding’s mood was somewhat complex, a thousand words converging into one: ”Okay.”

Adding his own surname.

He handed it to the old man again: ”How about this?”

”That’ll do, that’ll do. Just like this, perfect. How do I change the profile picture?”

”I’ll help you change it.”

Replacing Elder Shui’s original profile picture with the photo they just took.

The old man eagerly took the phone back and, without a moment’s pause, immediately started showing off in the group.

Not exactly getting straight to the point, but hinting and pointing, both overtly and covertly.

[Elder Shui: Your profile picture isn’t good, not grand enough]

[Elder Shui: Your profile picture isn’t good, too flashy]

[Elder Shui: Your profile picture isn’t good, lacks feeling]

[Elder Shui: Oh? Your great-granddaughter is twenty years old, Five Restrictions Late Stage cultivation, the number one genius in your province? Not bad, not bad. At such a young age, having such achievements is very impressive.]

Anyway, between the lines, he practically spelled out ’Come and take a look at mine!’
