The Female CEO's Personal Bodyguard

Chapter 2913 Secret Operation
Lin Chen frowned subconsciously: "First come, first served, that means there are a lot more things that can be manipulated in the process..."

"is not that right?"

Hu Yunlai complained, "When the supplies are distributed is entirely up to the quartermaster department. Those with connections get notified first, while those without connections get notified later. If you're not careful, you won't even know that everything has been distributed."

Xiong Yaxiong was furious when he talked about this: "It's not just that, there are also people cutting in line. Everyone is queuing up according to the rules they said, first come first served, but there are always people cutting in line. When asked, they say that they arrived earlier, handed in their forms first, and then left because they had something to do."

"They said that, and the people in the quartermaster department agreed. So they just cut in line openly. Everyone had complaints, but they dared not speak out. After all, if they offended the people in the quartermaster department, would they still be able to receive supplies in the future? Besides, which person in the quartermaster department doesn't have a background? Can you afford to offend them?"

Lin Chen nodded, offering no further comment.

Such things can happen anywhere.

The group hurried along and soon arrived at the Supply Division, which was responsible for magical artifacts and refining materials. There were already quite a few people in the compound, who were obviously there to collect supplies.

Xiong Yaxiong squeezed into the crowd, and a moment later, he emerged from the crowd with a happy expression.

"I made it in time, the order has been submitted!"

Lin Chen asked, "Does submitting the form mean I can receive the supplies?"

Xiong Yaxiong nodded excitedly: "The quartermaster department will probably do a check, and once a certain quantity is reached, they will stop accepting orders, because the supplies have probably been distributed..."

No sooner had Xiong Yaxiong finished speaking than the crowd that had been surrounding them suddenly erupted in commotion.

"Why did it stop? I rushed over as soon as I heard the news!"

"How many numbers have been issued so far? How come they're all gone?"

"Yeah, not many numbers were issued. Wasn't it supposed to be a large batch of supplies?"

"I see some people aren't even in line..."

The person in charge of collecting the forms frowned and said coldly, "Who said there was no queue? People arrived first, handed in their forms, and just waited for their names to be called. I didn't say that you had to queue."

"First come, first served, that's the rule. There are only so many supplies, some people will get them and some won't. You're just slow, can you blame others?"

The man pointed at someone in the crowd: "Look at them! They've been waiting at our door for so long to get supplies. As soon as there were supplies, they got them. You guys are taking your time, and now that there are no supplies, who can you blame?"

All eyes fell on the person the man was pointing at. The middle-aged man wore an embarrassed expression, gave an awkward smile, and remained silent. If anyone had any other choice, who would want to spend all their time guarding this place?

How embarrassing.

To put it bluntly, it's like begging for food.

This is hardly something to be proud of; it's so embarrassing to be used as an example like this.

Embarrassing as it was, he dared not utter a word. If he offended them and couldn't retrieve the supplies, what would become of his disciples?

Xiong Yaxiong said in a low voice, "His situation is similar to ours. He's also been delayed for a long time and hasn't received it yet. He's more willing to go all out than we are..."

Those who can come here are all Great Luo Immortals. With such strength, they are respected wherever they go.

However, this is the War God's Palace, a place teeming with powerful figures. Even a Great Luo Immortal is nothing here. If you want something, you have to follow their rules.

Xiong Yaxiong's gaze was complex, containing both sympathy for those in the same boat and admiration for those who would risk everything for each other.

Lin Chen chuckled and comforted him, "We received them too, so it's a good thing in the end."

Xiong Yaxiong nodded, a relaxed smile appearing on his face: "It's still good that I came with the sect leader this time. The timing was just right, and I benefited from the sect leader's good fortune."

Lin Chen laughed and said, "This has nothing to do with me."

With the orders collected, everyone relaxed and sat in the spacious courtyard waiting.

People come and go in the courtyard, some cautious and others radiant and carefree, a microcosm of human life unfolding in this small space.

One by one, the cultivators received their supplies and left. The number of people in the courtyard dwindled, as those who hadn't submitted their forms had already been expelled. Of course, some were still waiting outside, hoping there might be extra supplies.
Xiong Yaxiong pointed to a man ahead and whispered, "After he passes, it's our turn..."

Lin Chen nodded, but before he could speak, a middle-aged man dressed in luxurious clothes suddenly walked in.

He stood at the door, saying nothing, and simply glanced around. The man who had been collecting the orders saw him, his eyes lit up, and he went out to greet him, leading him aside.

Before long, the man in charge led the middle-aged man into the house, his eyes sweeping over this side.

A bad feeling suddenly arose in Lin Chen's heart. Could his luck be that bad?
