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

Meanwhile.

Outside.

The special envoy of the southern Gold Flat district, upon hearing that a Sky-Rending Talisman had appeared, rushed over in a panic.

He was completely stunned.

He had only just taken over Gold Flat, and this damn place had already produced a Sky-Rending Talisman. If large-scale casualties occurred, wouldn’t he be finished?

Bringing his men, he arrived at the Star-Plucking Tower area.

The moment he saw Ying Gou, the Gold Flat district special envoy, Min Fang, directly cursed him out: ”You motherf***ing Ying Gou!! Every time I run into you, nothing good happens!!! What kind of crazy shit were you pulling that you actually triggered a Sky-Rending Talisman?!!!”

”If you want to die, don’t drag me down with you!!!!!”

”If that Sky-Rending Talisman explodes, the entire Gold Flat goes straight to heaven, and so does my future career for the rest of my life!!!!!”The two were old acquaintances.

He just wasn’t as strong as Ying Gou. But now, the urgency of the situation made Min Fang completely disregard the fact that Ying Gou was stronger than him, and he just started letting loose!

Ying Gou was getting pissed off by the scolding.

Good things never landed on him, but all the black sheep ended up on his back.

But before he could say anything.

Yan Feifan, listening on the side, had already started scheming in his head. ”Special Envoy Min, I’m really sorry. This time, it’s entirely our fault. The situation was urgent, and it was a covert operation, so we didn’t have time to notify you in advance.”

”The situation is critical now. Our special envoy is already handling the Sky-Rending Talisman situation, but the specifics are still unknown. Regarding the impact caused this time, on behalf of our special envoy, Lu Ding, I extend our sincere apologies to you.”

Upon hearing the name Lu Ding, Min Fang’s temperature instantly dropped.

”Lu Ding is here too? Where?!”

Yan Feifan replied, ”Brother Lu used a spell and pulled the person holding the Sky-Rending Talisman into a spell space.”

Min Fang’s voice rose a few octaves: ”Isn’t that suicide!? The power of a Sky-Rending Talisman isn’t something an ordinary spell space can contain! What are you still standing here for? Get out of here now!!”

Yan Feifan believed in Lu Ding. In his eyes, everything impossible was possible with Brother Lu.

Now that Lu Ding was fighting inside the spell space, as his assistant investigator, he had to stay outside and plan other things for Brother Lu.

Yan Feifan organized his thoughts and said, ”Special Envoy Min, please don’t worry. I believe Brother Lu has his own way of handling this. Right now, I mainly want to talk to you about compensation.”

Lu Ding, who had just emerged from the [Black Prison of Death’s Body], heard this and decided to wait a little longer before coming out, to avoid disrupting Feifan’s conversational structure and thought process.

He quietly transmitted a message: ”Call me when you need me to appear.”

Yan Feifan’s confidence rose another notch.

Brother Lu had it handled!

Meanwhile, Min Fang stood opposite Yan Feifan, frowning.

”I can’t believe that. Compared to not having personally witnessed Lu Ding’s strength, I’m more afraid of the Sky-Rending Talisman’s power. As for compensation? At the very least, half of Gold Flat would be gone if it explodes, maybe even the entire place. How could that be compensated!?”

”If Gold Flat is gone, my career is finished. I’m the investigator here. Now you’re talking to me about compensation? This is about my future. There’s no market price for that.”

Yan Feifan nodded. ”I understand, I understand. So I have a proposal. How about this: You transfer Gold Flat to Special Envoy Ying, and we’ll exchange Qingyuan Prefecture for you. That way, if Brother Lu doesn’t resolve the Sky-Rending Talisman situation, your career won’t be affected.”

Ying Gou listened nearby.

Wait.

What?

His career is a career, but mine isn’t?

Why transfer it to me?

Why not just transfer it directly to Lu Ding?

He had many questions, but he still wanted to hear Yan Feifan continue.

Min Fang listened to Yan Feifan’s proposal. Honestly, he would make a huge profit!

He not only avoided the consequences of Gold Flat’s explosion affecting his career, but he also traded it for a much better territory.

Compared to Gold Flat, Qingyuan Prefecture was infinitely better.

But Min Fang had his own doubts: ”But isn’t the special envoy of Qingyuan Prefecture Chai Yun? You keep mentioning Ying Gou and Lu Ding, but never him.”

Yan Feifan smiled. ”When Brother Lu comes out, there will be arrangements. Just tell me if you want to make the trade or not?”

Min Fang gritted his teeth. ”I’ll trade, but we need to sign an agreement to ensure Qingyuan Prefecture ends up in my hands!!!”

Yan Feifan: ”Deal. If it doesn’t end up in your hands, the exchange is void.”

Ying Gou got a bit anxious. Ignoring Min Fang, he directly pulled Yan Feifan aside.

”What do you mean? Wasn’t Qingyuan Prefecture supposed to be for me?”

Yan Feifan quickly comforted him. ”Special Envoy Ying, please don’t rush. You know how badly Wuliang Mountain in Qingyuan Prefecture was wrecked. Even with the Reshaper, the cost of repairing it is considerable. It’s not like the Reshaper runs on just adding water; it has its own consumption.”

”Right now, the area of destruction in Gold Flat is much smaller than Qingyuan Prefecture. We’ll still lend you the Reshaper, and your costs will be much lower too. Isn’t this trade very worthwhile?”

”Of course, I have my own selfish motives. Trading Qingyuan Prefecture for Gold Flat helps Brother Lu avoid the compensation for Gold Flat. If this goes through, it basically means that for this mission, we’ve netted pure profit from the Giant Wave Group and Star-Plucking Tower’s spoils, without losing a thing.”

”Except for using the Reshaper, but that was ours to begin with. Fixing this level of damage to Gold Flat won’t take much time. Once it’s done quickly, the Reshaper can return to the western region and resume work shortly.”

”All in all, we save time, we save on compensation, and we ensure that construction in the west isn’t delayed by the Reshaper being lent out for too long.”

Ying Gou listened. Damn, how was this guy’s brain so sharp?

After calculating it carefully, Lu Ding really didn’t lose a single thing.

But he still had his own concerns: ”But Qingyuan Prefecture is bigger than Gold Flat and better...”

Yan Feifan looked at him. ”Special Envoy Ying, this is pure profit—a whole territory for free! And you’re still being picky????”

”If it weren’t for the fact that both Gold Flat and Qingyuan Prefecture are exclaves, do you really think these territories would even be up for...”

He didn’t finish the rest of the sentence. It wasn’t polite.

Ying Gou was struck by the point and immediately understood.

Yeah, right.

A beggar complaining about stale food was going too far.

Even if Gold Flat wasn’t great, free stuff was better than nothing.

Thinking this, Ying Gou nodded, a bit pleased. ”Alright!”

But he still felt like something was off.

He just couldn’t put his finger on it.

How was it that Lu Ding went all out, didn’t have to pay a cent in compensation, and still managed to rake in a fortune?

Where exactly was the problem?

He couldn’t figure it out.

All he could say was that a good assistant investigator really made all the difference.

Once again, he looked at Lu Ding with envy.

Ying Gou asked, ”But the foundation of all your plans is that Lu Ding can perfectly resolve the Sky-Rending Talisman without affecting Gold Flat. Right now, there’s no word from Lu Ding yet, so you...”

Yan Feifan gave a mysterious smile. ”Don’t worry. I believe in Brother Lu.”

In his heart, he silently added: Brother Lu already handled it.

With that, he pulled out documents, an ink pad, and Lu Ding’s personal steel seal that he had left with him. Turning around, he walked toward Min Fang while adjusting his bodycam.

”Special Envoy Min, Brother Lu’s steel seal is with me. How about we draft the agreement first? That way, we can avoid any unexpected incidents later, don’t you think?”
