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

Amid laughter and chatter, Lu Ding scanned the surrounding space.

“So this is the Earth God’s space, opened using the Pot-Heaven method?”

Yan Feifan was surprised, “Brother Lu, you already knew that? And you still say you’re not omniscient?”

Lu Ding waved his hand as if it were nothing, saying simply, “Just my area of expertise. Before you mastered them, I was more familiar with how they functioned.”

“Then Brother Lu, can I copy one for you?”

Yan Feifan spoke. Right now, everything he had was almost entirely thanks to Lu Ding. For Lu Ding, he would give his all without reservation, even his life if necessary.

At that moment, Lu Ding felt a little tempted.

But only a little.

Although the Seventy-Two Methods were powerful, many of their techniques overlapped with Lu Ding’s own means.For example: flame spitting, Pot-Heaven, demon-slaying.

Lu Ding already had better options: Purple Tenuity Heavenly Fire, the Red Coffin, the Way of the Jinche.

But there were also things he didn’t possess, like shell guessing, star arts, and doppelgängers.

Thinking of this, Lu Ding said, “Tell me about shell guessing, star arts, doppelgängers... explain them to me.”

“Alright, Brother Lu.”

Yan Feifan was about to speak, formed the spells and keypoints in his mind.

Then he realized he couldn’t make a single sound.

“Huh? Isn’t this supposed to be audible?”

Lu Ding understood.

“Never mind, never mind. Sealing the mouth is a protection method, to prevent those who gain the inheritance from being corrupted and leaking the legacy.”

Yan Feifan frowned. He had finally found something that interested Brother Lu, yet he couldn’t reveal it.

He grew anxious.

“Brother Lu, try again. I’ll attempt to cast it, and you learn directly—how about that?”

Lu Ding shook his head again, “When you cast it earlier, I watched. I can’t learn it. Divinity plays a large role in those techniques; it’s akin to fighting gods. I haven’t comprehended Divinity yet, I might never comprehend it, and I won’t try to comprehend it.”

After all, his Three Flowers path differed somewhat from the Second Circle’s normal God Ascension, Spirit Refinement, and God Ascension trajectory.

Lu Ding added, “Even if I did comprehend it, your divinity and mine are different. Flowers bloom in many shades; people are not the same. Besides, the Seventy-Two Methods are high level. Just watching won’t do.”

Yan Feifan felt disappointed, but he didn’t throw the problem back at Lu Ding with “What then? What do we do?” Instead he said, “When my cultivation improves, I won’t have to keep my mouth sealed. I’ll write it all down then!”

Lu Ding actually wanted to say, by that time I might no longer be interested.

But when it came to friends, Lu Ding wasn’t that strict.

“Fine, I’ll wait. That’ll be your motivation to break through. Hurry up.”

Yan Feifan puffed out his chest, “Don’t worry, Brother Lu. Shall we head out? Let’s finish taking care of the land quickly?”

Lu Ding: “Let’s go.”

The two shot upward, leaving that space.

Outside, in the dormitory, everyone watched as Lu Ding and Yan Feifan flew out from the herb garden placed in the great hall and landed.

By now, compared to before, the herb garden was already giving off specks of spiritual light.

The black, loose soil looked as if it would seep oil at a squeeze; its fertility was exaggeratedly great.

Yan Feifan picked up a seed and tossed it casually.

The rare natural treasure seed landed on the soil and took root and sprouted at a visibly rapid pace.

Yan Feifan formed hand seals, and wind and rain followed.

Seeing the tender-sprout rare treasure accelerate growth further under the storm, Lu Ding asked, “If I plant by myself, won’t it grow as fast as when you plant?”

Yan Feifan nodded, “I’m a professional. If you handle it, it’s like letting it grow wild.”

Got it.

Lu Ding understood immediately and said, “From now on, one more thing will be added to your responsibilities.”

Yan Feifan smiled. After such a long time, he finally could help Brother Lu again.

He clasped his hands and clownishly said, “I am willing to serve Brother Lu with the labor of an ox and horse!”

Lu Ding: “Isn’t it dog and horse?”

Yan Feifan: “Woof!”

Lu Ding laughed speechlessly, “If anyone sees that, they’ll think I bully you and force you to trade dignity for my amusement.”

Yan Feifan replied righteously, “What are you talking about? What are you talking about? What is that!!”

“I’m second to none, above ten thousand; so many people dream of this but can’t get it. I know how good Brother Lu is to me. My current realm and strength are higher than Xiao Bai, and Huang... and Zhang Wei!!!”

Alright, he stood up and started flattering Huangfu Lingyun.

Of course, everyone was friends. After Lu Ding left, Yan Feifan and Huangfu Lingyun still got along well.

It wasn’t a one-sided joke where Yan Feifan alone called Huangfu Lingyun ‘Zhang Wei.’

Huangfu Lingyun had jokingly mocked Yan Feifan’s self-deprecating line before.

That line—“Outsiders say I’m Brother Lu’s dog, but even as a dog I live with more dignity than people”—had been used by both in fun.

Both had big hearts and could take and make jokes.

Yan Feifan deliberately spoke louder, which caused Huangfu Lingyun in the downstairs dorm to suddenly open his eyes wide.

“Brother Lu and Bai Hemen calling for me would be one thing, but now you’re giving me lip?”

“Yan dog, die for me!!!”

Yan Feifan leapt from the balcony, and the two engaged in a friendly sparring.

After a while—just a few minutes—they flew back and landed again, when Huangfu Lingyun’s roar boomed out, “Yan Feifan, have some shame, you let Lu Ding give you cheats!!!!!!!”

There.

Zhang Wei took another reality check.

Originally in Lu Ding’s four-person group, Huangfu Lingyun ranked third in strength, though in actual standing he was fourth. Now he’d completely dropped to the tail.

Before, at least he could suppress Yan Feifan in strength and then flatter him into writing reports and doing data work. After all, Yan Feifan had the brains; Huangfu Lingyun couldn’t act tough in front of him because he needed favors.

But now, he couldn’t even match Yan Feifan’s strength.

Huangfu Lingyun’s roar awakened one of his nightmares.

Bai Hemen’s voice sounded, “Zhang Wei.”

Instantly, Huangfu Lingyun fell silent.

Alone in his room, he muttered, “You all wait. Just wait. Sooner or later I’ll defeat you one by one!!”

“Then Lu Ding will pour water for me, Yan Feifan will write reports for me, and you Bai Hemen will attend to me, never stopping your chatter!”

His friends’ growth suddenly pressed down on Huangfu Lingyun.

He felt he hadn’t worked hard enough.

He needed to take action!!

He needed to earn contribution points, to develop quickly. Although Lu Ding had given him many things, if he just sat around to develop, he couldn’t compete. First, he couldn’t match the pure high numbers of Bai Hemen. Second, he couldn’t match Yan Feifan who had Lu Ding as a human cheat.

As for Lu Ding, there was no contest.

He had to work hard!!!!

With that thought, Huangfu Lingyun immediately began taking on tasks!!

Although his current realm lagged a bit, no matter. He could start from basic tasks, right?!
