In the afternoon, Zhen Ji was somewhat puzzled!
Why were the things Su Han taught her a bit… she couldn't quite articulate it, but it felt awkward, requiring her to perform all sorts of strange and peculiar movements.
Among them were exercises for stretching muscles, bending at the waist, and so on, appearing to be a very peculiar form of martial art!
However, after practicing, Zhen Ji felt as though she truly understood rabbit behavior a little better. Deep down, she believed that what Su Han said might be true…
In any case, the one-hour lunch break passed quickly.
In the afternoon, the two of them quickly set off together to continue their mission!
…
Department of Mysterious Affairs.
Jing Tailong was quite astonished. Before him stood a giant red-furred beast, truly an S-class fierce beast, and a mutated one at that. Such a powerful beast would normally cause immense casualties.
But today… the situation was rather unusual!
“Did that kid really scare this monster back just by threatening it?” Jing Tailong asked.
A staff member nearby immediately nodded and gave a general description of the day's events.
After hearing this.
Not only Jing Tailong, but Wang Chong and the others present also exclaimed in disbelief.
As far as they knew, this was Su Han's first day at work, and he had already achieved such a stunning performance. It was clear to anyone with discerning eyes that this young man was a rising superstar, it was just a matter of when he would truly explode.
“Elder Jing, how should we handle this monster?” Wang Chong asked from the side.
Elder Jing felt a surge of excitement. He had two options: the first was to submit it to the higher-level Mysterious Affairs Bureau, and the second was to keep it in Jiangnan for research.
“Keep it!”
Elder Jing said decisively. He preferred to keep it rather than hand it over. An S-class red-furred monster could significantly boost the strength of the entire Department of Mysterious Affairs!
Not to mention anything else, just for the training of new recruits, it was an extremely important matter!
With this red-furred monster, many new recruits… including Elder Jing himself, would have a free sparring partner. Moreover, by observing the monster's habits and understanding its attack methods, they would gain invaluable and rare data!
Suddenly!
Just as Elder Jing had decided to keep the monster, the office phone rang!
Ring ring ring.
Upon hearing the phone, Elder Jing felt a sense of foreboding!
He picked it up and listened. Indeed!
“Hahaha, Old Jing, I heard that you in Jiangnan have newly acquired an S-class, intact mutated red-furred ape monster. Is that true?”
Elder Jing cursed inwardly, his expression growing even more displeased.
“What’s wrong, Director Chen? You’re not thinking of robbing me, are you? I just brought it back and it’s not even cooled down yet, and you want to rob me? I absolutely refuse!”
On the other end of the phone, the man continued to speak with a fawning smile, “Elder Jing… from the overall perspective, how many people are there in your research institute? Keeping such excellent research data is a complete waste, a complete waste! How about this, I personally promise to give your Jiangnan department a case of Maotai, and we’ll settle this, what do you say?”
Elder Jing was instantly enraged!
An S-class mutated monster was only worth a case of Maotai?
If this were to get out, people would laugh their heads off. Let alone anything else, just a single fang from the monster would be priceless, not to mention its fur, and various other treasures!
These combined were like a treasure chest, worth hundreds of millions, perhaps even immeasurable by money…
“Director Chen! Don’t push your luck too far. Although our Jiangnan department is small in number, I can recruit some experts. Moreover, this S-class monster has already been cataloged by us. The rice is about to be cooked, so you deal with it!”
“You! Old man Jing…” on the other end of the phone, Director Chen was helpless. However, after much deliberation, he finally compromised and said, “How about this, two cases of Maotai, plus a commemorative banner. No more than that!”
Beep beep beep…
The phone went dead. Elder Jing directly hung up. He completely ignored this request.
“What’s wrong, Elder Jing? Is that your student, Director Chen?” Wang Chong asked.
Elder Jing snorted coldly, seemingly regretting taking him as a student. He said coldly, “Chen Danian, that brat, truly can’t change his ways. Begging others for favors, yet acting like a big shot himself. This time, I’ll give it to anyone but him!”
However.
Not long after the call ended, a fax was received here!
The fax was sent by Director Chen!
It contained a single sentence: “Fine, if the teacher is willing to hand over the S-class mutated monster, then Jiangnan will be given 3 slots this time. Truly, no more than that!”
Wang Chong was puzzled upon seeing this. What were these 3 slots?
Were they that important?
And it was sent by Director Chen himself. After handing it to Elder Jing, Wang Chong felt that this matter was definitely hopeless. If two cases of Maotai couldn’t solve it, would 3 slots be enough?
However, to Wang Chong’s surprise, Elder Jing suddenly burst into laughter: “Hmph, this Chen Danian, he really makes me furious. If he had said this earlier, wouldn’t it have been simpler? One slot becoming three slots, hahaha, this is a worthwhile deal!”
With that, Elder Jing immediately sent back a fax, with only two words: Deal.
However, Wang Chong beside him was very confused. Why was Elder Jing so happy? Was there really that much of a difference between 3 slots and 1 slot?
Wang Chong had no idea.
…
In the evening.
Su Han sat on Zhen Jie’s motorcycle, thoroughly enjoying the spoils of the day!
Logically speaking, in this mission, all he needed to do was observe and learn. But now, Su Han found that he quite enjoyed doing these missions.
Some monsters had already met their demise under his hunting, much like hunting. The only difference was that these monsters were much fiercer than ordinary prey.
“Zhen Jie, do you think my current strength is enough to take on some high-level missions?” Su Han asked. After all, it wouldn't work to do missions with Zhen Ji, because under her observation, it was really difficult for him to use Soul Extraction.
Unless… he could capture Zhen Ji!
However, in the short term, Su Han felt that he should go out and do some missions himself. This way, he could use Soul Extraction more freely.
“Hmm, it’s not impossible, but it requires approval from above! Currently, Elder Jing can give you a green light. Starting tomorrow, you can accept missions yourself. From my end, I’ll give you an A+ rating. Don’t aim too high. If you aim too high, then be prepared to leave Jiangnan immediately. Alas, it’s a long story, many geniuses from our Jiangnan branch have left like this!”
“Uh… Zhen Jie, aren’t you also S-class, secretly changed to A-class?”
Zhen Ji nodded. She really was back then!
She was actually considered S-class, but Su Han now was different. According to her observation, Su Han was probably triple S-class, or even higher, X-class…
