Chapter 165 Lin Wuming's Working Methods
"Wuming...just doesn't want to work?" Gufa Meiwei was skeptical. In her opinion, there was no one more hardworking and dedicated than Lin Wuming. He could even be selected as an activist at the end of the semester. It didn't seem like he "didn't want to work."

However, since Lin Wuming himself did not refute it, it seems that the statement that the tiger bee can see through the honey is indeed correct.

"If you're truly tired, be sure to tell us. You can ask for leave," Gufa Meiwei emphasized again. "It's a pity it's a holiday now, otherwise headquarters wouldn't have let us work for so long."

After all, the discipline committee members are also students. Since they are students, they naturally have their own holiday arrangements.

In addition, the discipline committee is a voluntary activity, so it is impossible to force members to "punch in for work" every day and not be absent.

Therefore, long holidays are the time when the discipline committee is most scarce.

Therefore, Lin Wuming was able to use the remaining ten days of vacation to work full time to offset the four months of training.

Although he complained about being busy and tired at work, Lin Wuming's performance these days was actually perfect, winning unanimous praise from the senior members of the Discipline Committee.

Because of his extensive experience as an office worker before traveling through time, Lin Wuming always subconsciously treated the activities of the Discipline Committee as his job; and then he completed every assignment diligently and meticulously.

Because of his previous experience working as a "hero", Lin Wuming is more adept at dealing with the various problems he encounters now; coupled with his omnipotent mind ability, there is almost no commission that he cannot complete.

Find lost pets, help lost children find their companions or guardians, find lost wallets...

Helping to direct traffic, patrolling mobile vendors setting up stalls in the park, and stopping acts of vandalism (bucket robots)...

As long as Lin Wuming takes action, no matter what kind of commission it is, it will be completed in the shortest time possible.

The efficiency was so high that not only the people who were dispatching and commanding at the rear headquarters, but even Gufa Meiwei who was in the same team with them could hardly believe their eyes.

"Mr. Wuming, do you often complete tasks in RPG games?" Gufa Meiwei couldn't help but ask.

"I don't play games." Lin Wuming waved his hand. "I'm just pursuing efficiency and choosing the fastest solution."

Lin Wuming knows how to take advantage of the situation. He is now a member of the Discipline Committee, so he can naturally make use of the various resources of this huge organization.

The most useful one is to call up the surveillance footage.

Among the incidents that the Discipline Committee needs to deal with, the "search" type is the most common, such as looking for people, cats, and items... Because most citizens of Academy City are underage children, there are especially many incidents of this type.

Such incidents are easiest to resolve with the flexible use of ubiquitous surveillance cameras.

"...I'm surprised you thought of this method." After listening to Lin Wuming's explanation, Gufa Meiwei couldn't help but sigh, "So you've been fiddling with your phone for this very thing."

Tiger Bee Toumi suddenly asked, "Such a convenient method, why don't other people use it?"

"It's not that they don't need to, it's just that the other discipline committee members don't access the surveillance footage so frequently," Gufa Meiwei explained, "because the required procedures are very complicated."

Another point is that the Discipline Committee is a voluntary activity in which students participate, which is a bit like some kind of "club activity" in nature.

Therefore, students always have to feel involved.

Helping others solve their problems and searching for lost items personally was definitely more engaging than checking surveillance footage. Furthermore, the general sentiment among disciplinary committee members was that they shouldn't bother adults with matters within their own capabilities—access to surveillance footage generally rested with the security forces, a cross-departmental collaboration.

While the two organizations have a cooperative and complementary relationship, there is also competition between them. The discipline committee, which is mainly composed of students, is eager to prove themselves and will not easily ask adults for help.

But for Lin Wuming, these were not a problem. He lived in the guard unit's apartment and had a guard teacher at home.

No worries about face, dignity or troubles exist. Solving problems and raising KPI are the most important things!
As for the procedures required to access surveillance footage, running them once is about the same as running them ten times. In contrast, the more times you use it, the better the cost-effectiveness.

"Instead of worrying about these trivial matters, it's better to solve the problem of the person seeking help as quickly as possible." Lin Wuming explained, "Academy City has advanced technology, and we should fully utilize this advantage."

"That's... true." Gufa Meiwei felt a little ashamed.

Lin Wuming's point is reasonable and hard to refute.

After all, the greatest significance of the existence of the Discipline Committee is to help ordinary citizens. At this time, they still care about things like "face", which seems too unenlightened.

"Wuming sometimes likes to preach like a teacher," said Hufeng Toumi. "Don't take it too seriously. Wuming's theories only apply to him."

"Huh? Is that so?" Gufa Meiwei asked in surprise.

"That's right," Tiger Bee Toumi nodded seriously, "If Wuming is the only one who can do something, then no matter how reasonable his teachings are, they are meaningless."

"It's something that only Wuming can do..." Gufa Meiwei couldn't help but look at Lin Wuming who was communicating with the person in need.

"Yeah," Hufeng Toumi shrugged. "Although he's only a year or two older than me, Wuming is someone who can hold his own against the security teacher."

More importantly, the security forces did not treat Lin Wuming as an ordinary teenager, but treated him with considerable respect. They treated Lin Wuming more like a collaborator than an ordinary student.

In other words, the security forces were very tolerant of Lin Wuming - as long as he did his job as a discipline committee member and didn't suddenly make a big news for them, whether it was using surveillance footage or other police resources, or other small matters, these were all easy to deal with.

Of course, Lin Wuming does not rely solely on monitoring. His telepathic ability is particularly useful when dealing with various problems encountered in daily life.

For example, helping children pick balloons, rescuing cats from trees, fishing out schoolbags from ponds and so on, with the help of telekinesis, these are all easy tasks.

The discipline committee members have a good reputation among the citizens. When people who are in trouble see the three of them wearing green armbands, they will always come to them for help.

Lin Wuming patrolled along the way and did all kinds of good deeds along the way.

"It's worthy of being a city made up of children." But similar things happened so often that even Lin Wuming couldn't help but complain, "Why are they all trivial matters..."

Many problems are actually caused by naughty children. Now that it is the holiday season, students who are free from academic and homework pressure always cause all kinds of trouble.

This is also one of the reasons why the shortage of discipline committee members is particularly huge during the holidays.
