Chapter 90: It’s working hours now, I’m very busy...Bang!
"Wha...what?!"
"Shh-"
Just as Su Chang was about to scream, the Cloud Cavalry soldier stopped her in time. He looked around and continued, "In short, the situation on the Immortal Boat is very bad now. I heard that many waterways have been blocked. I suggest that you deal with these two foreigners and then rush back to your troops immediately."
After saying this last warning, the other side hurriedly chased after the troops that were moving away not far away, leaving Su Chang alone standing there in a daze, as if trying to process the information she had just received.
"What is the demonic body?" Kevin suddenly asked, looking at Su Chang, whose expression and state seemed a little wrong.
Even though they were talking very carefully, the distance of only a few meters was no different to Kevin than being right next to him.
"You...you heard everything?"
Su Chang asked carefully, and after seeing Kevin nod, she said as if she had let out a sigh of relief: "Well, this isn't really a secret after all... But I don't really know much about it. I've only heard about it from others, but never seen it."
"Everyone knows that the Xianzhou people are immortal and can live for a thousand years... But I have heard from my family since I was a child that the curse of the ancestor of longevity, plague and disaster on the Xianzhou people has always existed. When they reach a certain age, they are likely to fall into the devil's body and become monsters who don't recognize their relatives."
"It is said that the Ten Kings Division is responsible for handling these matters, and the judge will take away all those who have reached their limit... I don't know if it is true or not."
According to the calendar of Xianzhou, Su Shang was actually just an adult at the age of 200. The devilish body was completely out of reach for her and she had never seen one before.
But this didn't stop her from feeling subconsciously afraid of it... After all, these were the kind of ghost stories she had heard since she was a child, and which child could avoid them?
"The ancestor of plague and disaster..." Kevin murmured this special name in a low voice.
He had seen it in the information he had read when he came here. This was the Xianzhou people's unique name for the Star God "Abundance". They even had their own opinions on each Star God.
But the main purpose of the Immortal Boat wandering in the universe is to destroy those evil creatures blessed by "Abundance".
All humans in this universe are basically the same as the humans in Kevin's original world. Their lifespan is generally no more than a hundred years old at most, but the humans on the fairy boat are a complete exception.
It is said that their ancestors were blessed by the star god of abundance thousands of years ago, and thus transformed into immortals. However, as time went by, the disadvantages of immortality gradually emerged, and many people could not even control their original bodies, and completely degenerated into the so-called "evil creatures of abundance".
It was not until later, with the help of the "Hunting" Star God Lan, that the Xianzhou Alliance completely broke free from the control of "Abundance" and began to spare no effort to hunt down other evil creatures in the universe that had fallen under the blessing of "Abundance".
But even if they completely got rid of the "abundant" situation, the people of the Immortal Boat still did not get rid of their identity as immortals. Their lifespan of thousands of years was also valued by others, and even outsiders often stepped onto the Immortal Boat in an attempt to seek the so-called "immortality".
Kevin could understand the pursuit of a long life because of fear of death. But Kevin thought it was extremely morbid that the entire civilized human race started chasing after the unknown existence in an attempt to transcend themselves.
Even though the Xianzhou Alliance later completely broke free from the control of "Abundance", judging from the current situation, it seems that there are still some sequelae left?
But another obvious point is that even though the so-called Demonic Yin Body diseases occasionally appear, the Xianzhou Alliance has always controlled them very well... Is this sudden outbreak mentioned by the other party related to the current events they are in?
Since there was so little useful information, Kevin was unable to deduce the complete truth. He could only continue to believe that the situation of "Luo Fu" was just as he thought, and it was not good.
"Okay, we've wasted so much time. I'd better quickly resolve your issues before delving into those big troubles!"
Su Chang pulled Kevin back and continued running towards the depths of the cave. It didn't take long before she successfully saw the person she was looking for. She immediately shouted, "Qingque! Qingque! I'm here to ask you for help! Qingque!!!"
And at the place Su Chang pointed to, the petite girl was holding the cards in her hand calmly, which made the people across from him a little anxious: "It seems like someone is calling you over there, why don't you go over and take a look?"
But the girl waved her hand and threw away the cards in her hand, saying as a matter of course: "Ah, it's working hours now, what is more important than playing cards?"
"bump!"
"If she really has something important, she will be able to find me in a while~"
"Touch again!"
"Even if Master Taibu comes in person now, he has to wait until I finish this round of cards before he can drag me away!"
"I'll touch it again! Hehe, it's a tie!"
The girl seemed to have very good luck with cards today. She easily won the game in less than ten seconds, leaving her opponent, who had been hit three times in a row, scratching his head, puzzled.
"That's it. Forget it. It's useless. Wait for the cards to come~"
As a professional fortune teller of Taibushi, the girl's arithmetic ability was naturally not bad at all. But she never used those things when playing cards, and her main focus was to do it casually.
She is here just to play cards, not to work!
But if you are really pressed into a corner, it is not impossible to count with your fingers...
"Hey, hey, I just called you for a long time, why are you ignoring me?"
After a while, Su Chang finally found this place in the crowd. She put her hands on her waist and stared angrily at Qingque who was squinting his eyes and trying hard to touch the cards in front of him.
"Oh, it's working hours after all, I must be very busy... Strange, why haven't I touched it yet..." After replying briefly, Qingque threw the cards in his hand to the center in confusion.
"Oh, I really can't tell what you are busy with!" Su Shang immediately widened her eyes.
Facing the girl's doubts, Qingque calmly picked up the next chapter card and said, "Don't worry, don't worry. This is the time I have finally gained. Master Taibu will definitely come to you soon..."
【Drip drip-】
Almost at the moment when the words fell, the jade ring on Qingque's waist suddenly rang.
"Look, look?"
Qingque very skillfully took out the jade from his waist with one hand and opened it, while he even continued playing cards with the other hand: "Ah, I really don't know how Master Taibu did it. I just had less than three minutes to spare. Let me see, what is the mission this time...ah?"
"What's wrong?"
"Master Taibu said, let me help you first?"
Weird...did she install surveillance cameras?
Chapter 91: Don’t forget your original intention and slack off every day!
Before Qingque was admitted to the Taipusi, her parents always told her that she would be able to live a carefree life for the rest of her life if she got a stable job. But she didn't know that the nightmare would begin after she got the stable job.
The Taipusi, which is responsible for intelligence, calculations and information, is a sea of suffering for the lazy people. No matter how hard you try, you can't see the end of the sea. The slacking skills learned in school are of no use here at all. The high-intensity work day and night almost broke the little wings of the bluebird.
However, what doesn't kill you will eventually make you stronger. In more than ten years of working in society, Qingque's slacking skills have reached a new level - even though his departments have changed and his superiors have changed several times, Qingque has always been the lowest-level fortune teller, and there is even a trend of getting lower... It can be said that his growth is gratifying.
Logically speaking, a low-level fortune teller like her would not be in the eyes of the Grand Diviner. The fortune tellers in the Grand Diviner's Office number at least tens of thousands, and no matter how talented the Grand Diviner is, he cannot personally assign work to everyone. In that case, she would just hold the jade omen in her bed and send messages every day.
However, in the Taibu Division where everyone is busy climbing up, Qingque, who is desperately slacking off, is too conspicuous... One can imagine what the Taibu felt when he first checked the information of this abnormal person. Almost every task was completed on time, which was more accurate than a machine.
This insult was no less than what her academic instructor felt when he saw her report card full of "six ten".
Unfortunately, Qingque has not yet been able to fully understand why a little sparrow like her has been targeted by the Lord Bu, and why this leader who acts as accurately as a jade omen always gives her new tasks when she is free.
"Strange, very strange..."
It seems she needs to improve her time management skills.
Qingque muttered a few words in a low voice before raising his head again, looking at Kevin and the other man with a scrutinizing gaze, and asked, "First of all, I want to confirm that you two are from the 'company', right?"
"That's right, that's us, we are us!" Before Kevin could open his mouth, Paddy nodded her head like a chicken pecking at rice.
This also successfully focused Qingque's attention on her, and he asked suspiciously, "So, you are the Padufils?"
"Yes, yes...wait, how do you know my name? Shouldn't this matter be kept highly confidential in the 'company'?"
"That's because the person next to you has a high level of confidentiality. What does it have to do with you?" Facing Pado's doubts, Qingque waved her hand and retorted.
"......ah?"
Qingque did not reply to the other party. Instead, she lowered her head and reopened her jade omen. At the end of the task sent to her by Master Taibu, there was also a copy of "Project Document 101" attached.
After clicking on it, you will find that it records almost all of Pado's information in great detail, from when she joined the "company" to her whereabouts two days ago, even her height, chest circumference, and what she likes to eat.
However, at the end of this information, there was a very strange note: [Note: According to his former boss, long-term contact with this person will bring great misfortune, including but not limited to a large amount of money lost through various channels. ]
What should I say? What if it’s not the little girl’s problem, but the former boss’s financial luck is not very good?
Qingque also made some small excuses for Padu in her heart. As a fortune teller, she certainly believed in things like fortune, but she didn't think there were any strange people in the world who could suck away other people's fortunes.
However, after this information, Kevin's information was very brief.
[Name: Kevin Kaslana (self-proclaimed)]
[Preferences: Unknown Birthplace: Unknown Gender: Male (suspected)]
[This character is suspected of using physical force to suppress the star core crisis on Yalilo-VI. According to the star core hunter 'Silver Wolf', this character's force is far superior to his. Threat level: high]
Well, although this intelligence is very brief, to be honest... Pado's intelligence did not mention the threat level at all, and he was too lazy to even give it a low level.
But is it really okay for Master Taibu to hand over such a dangerous person to her? She is just a little sparrow who is just idling around, and she doesn't want to get involved in anything dangerous.
But since the Lord Bu has already assigned the task to her, how could she refuse?
"Ugh......"
Sighing like a deflated ball, Qingque jumped off the bench with a whoosh and waved to Kevin and the others, "Since Master Taibu has handed the task to me, why don't you follow me first?"
"Hey, where are we going? Don't we need to verify our identities first?" Padu asked, scratching his head.
"It's not that troublesome. Our Taibusi is very capable of collecting information. Your information has been registered on Luofu, and you are now a legal and compliant "barbarian."
Although he likes to slack off, Qingque, who is in working state, still explained very seriously: "But the identities of both of you are very special after all... Especially this Mr. Kevin, Xianzhou can't even fully confirm his identity information."
"Under normal circumstances, a huge alliance like the Xianzhou Alliance would certainly not be afraid of an outsider. But the Xianzhou is not very peaceful now, so Master Taibu said that he can't let you run around, so he asked me to take you with me first... Strange, why are there so many troubles recently?"
She had been slacking off since she was a child, and she had never seen the Immortal Boat under such martial law.
"A lot of trouble... What exactly do you mean?"
Kevin, who had been silent, suddenly asked.
It seems that Xianzhou's speed in collecting intelligence is indeed not slow, which at least indirectly shows how powerful they are... But as far as Kevin knows, there are no less troubles and organizations gathered here at this moment.
Often, this situation is a precursor to a coming storm - the calmer it appears, the more terrible the subsequent outbreak will be.
"Ah? How would I know? I'm just an ordinary fortune teller in the Taibushi, okay? Even if the sky falls, that's something a high-ranking Taibushi should consider."
Qingque was not trying to fish in troubled waters. After all, she really didn't know about this kind of thing. Master Taibu only told her that Luofu had a lot of trouble recently and asked her to stabilize the two people for the time being. Why would he tell her what happened?
"Let's go, let's go. I can take you around Changletian. Just treat it as a leisurely time~"
Very good, this is the most important spirit for a fortune teller - don’t forget your original intention!
Chapter 92: So you are also here to seek immortality?
"Well, now that your problems have been solved, I have to report back to my original cave as soon as possible! Since the current situation is so critical, they must need me now!"
Su Chang felt a great sense of accomplishment after successfully helping the two people from the home appliance company escape the fugitive crisis - but she couldn't be complacent about this, she still had to do many more great things!
"No, I'm afraid you can't leave for the time being." Qingque suddenly poured a basin of cold water on her forehead, "According to the news just received, all the shipping lanes in Changletian have been completely blocked. Unless you have a special transfer order... Don't you even look at your own jade omen?"
Qingque is different. She can receive the latest task from the Grand Astrologer without looking at the Jade Omen for three minutes. This is really cause for celebration.
"Eh...eh? When did it happen?!"
Didn't they just arrive at Changletian? Could it be that they were allowed to enter but not leave?!
Su Chang quickly pulled out her jade seal from her pocket, then looked at the information on it and shouted in horror: "When...when was this transfer order issued? How come I didn't even see it?!"
"I'm sorry everyone, I have to hurry to Liuyun Ferry to maintain order and evacuate the people, so I'll leave first!"
After saying this, Su Chang rushed out of the chess and card hall, leaving the three of them standing there looking at each other in bewilderment.
"It seems that the current situation of Xianzhou is indeed not very good..." Kevin murmured softly.
This crisis lurking in the dark and potentially erupting at any time is sometimes even more dangerous than the disaster visible to the naked eye and constantly spreading on Beloberg.
Because you don't know when and where they will start to break out, and how serious they will be...
"Oh, let's go, this has nothing to do with us. Now is working time, we can't waste any free time."
Qingque took Kevin and walked out of the chess and card hall. At this time, Changletian was really as its name suggested. The hidden crisis in the outside world seemed to have not spread here at all. People could be seen running around everywhere on the streets.
Of course, there is also a possibility that Xianzhou did not actually choose to tell everyone the true situation - this is the most standard answer.
All the way to the edge of the cave, Qingque would occasionally introduce the surrounding situation to the two of them, such as which store had the largest collection of books, and which store's pastries could best appease the master Taibu... He looked like a good guide.
It was as if, apart from not being very proficient in his work, this fortune teller Qingque was an all-rounder who was proficient in eating, drinking and having fun.
Just after reaching the edge of the cave, Padu suddenly pointed at the clouds in the distance and exclaimed: "Boss Kevin, look! What is that? It's a huge piece, uh... a big wooden stake?"
