I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

In the blink of an eye, another day has passed.

Under Lu Qian's rigorous training, Xu Lindong quickly adapted to engaging in high-intensity close-quarters combat with opponents who surpassed him in strength and speed.

According to Lu Qian's experience, zombies mainly rely on melee combat.

As long as you guard against their venomous claws and sharp teeth, and adapt to their brute strength and eerie footsteps in the dark, you can deal with them with ease.

But what's more dangerous and terrifying than zombies are wandering spirits.

According to Lu Qian, when encountering a wandering spirit, Xu Lindong's only option was to run away immediately.

If you can't escape, then lie down immediately and prepare to be possessed and killed.

Or they could bury themselves alive with a large amount of stove ash, hoping that wandering spirits would not dare to invade.

But if you stay in it for too long, you'll suffocate.

However, Xu Lindong was confident that he had mastered the "Descendant of the Kitchen God".

In critical moments, he can also summon the [Straight Blade] from the Tower of Babel to directly cut and dismember wandering souls.

Therefore, they are not without the ability to fight.

"I've taught you everything I need to. You're leaving tomorrow, so hurry up and study these materials."

It contains important notes and a list of supernatural phenomena that might interest you.

In the training room, Lu Qian wore a tight-fitting combat vest, her ponytail tied up, and her hair was damp with sweat.

She casually tossed a stack of documents and a towel for wiping her sweat to Xu Lindong, then turned and left.

"Thanks, Captain Lu!"

Xu Lindong sat up and looked at Lu Qian's back.

Lu Qian waved her hand with her back turned: "No need to thank me. Do your best in the sinkhole area, kill a lot of zombies, and make some achievements to get on the God Ranking as soon as possible. That will make me proud too."

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed open the door and slammed it shut.

Xu Lindong opened the documents in his hand.

He had long been curious about the list of supernatural beings that everyone in the company talked about and longed for.

But this list remains a mystery to most people.

Only Level 1 executives, or those already on the list, are eligible to view this information.

At this moment, he noticed that the information Lu Qian provided did not directly list the list of supernatural beings.

It was only mentioned that if more than fifteen zombies could be killed in this cleanup mission, one might be able to rank at the bottom of the list.

As long as you make it onto the list of extraordinary beings, even if you're at the bottom, you can receive a level 3 extraordinary potion every month, plus a bonus of 20,000.

"Such good treatment?...No wonder so many people are vying to be on the list."

Xu Lindong was somewhat surprised.

However, killing fifteen zombies in one mission is indeed quite difficult.

Lu Qian also noted in the materials that he should act according to his abilities.

In addition to the information related to the list of supernatural phenomena, the data also records information about the sinkhole site of "Jiangcheng Ancestral Hall Ancient House" and the approximate composition of the personnel for this cleanup mission.

The Jiangcheng Ancestral Hall is an old building from the aristocratic era, and inside are some memorial tablets and coffins.

After being invaded by the "Extraordinary Sinkhole," this place formed a strange field, in which unclean things from underground channels have also sprung up...

Xu Lindong took out a bottle of Level 3 Extraordinary Potion and continued reading the information while drinking it.

In his view, the era of powerful clans was analogous to the Republican era of his own time.

They are just not exactly the same.

"I was the only one from the East District branch who participated in the cleaning task this time."

The rest are from the western, southern, and northern regions, and there are also executives from other cities... Wow, quite a lot of people.

A surge of burning energy rose from my stomach.

Xu Lindong immediately focused his mind on refining it.

……

A few hours later.

His energy and spirit have clearly improved, reaching a level of 55.8.

The potion's energy has not yet been fully refined and is still being improved.

However, the preparation time is almost up.

Xu Lindong turned on his phone.

I immediately noticed several complaining messages from Yi Qianxun, whose nickname is "Barbara the Old Fairy":

"Dongzi, it's been 25 hours, 31 minutes, and 03 seconds. Have you forgotten about me?"

"You damned Dongzi, I'm going to punish you by making you carry me home, and then I'll shove my feet into your lying mouth!"

"Dongzi, please, you're my good brother, answer the phone! I'm so bored!"

After sending this message, Yi Qianxun sent several more selfies to harass her.

Seeing Xun Jie's quirky and clever appearance, Xu Lindong shook his head and smiled, then immediately replied.

"Sister Xun, I was too busy yesterday to pick you up. I'll come pick you up from get off work now."

By the way, did you get what I asked for yesterday?

Messages are replied to almost instantly.

"No!"

Yi Qianxun gripped her phone tightly, her fists clenched, her teeth clenched.

That wretched Dongzi! Not only did he not pick her up from get off work yesterday, he also made her go to the old neighborhood to collect some kind of soot and ash, keeping her busy until late at night, covered in soot, and she didn't get a good night's sleep.

"If you didn't have a cleaning assignment tomorrow, I wouldn't be helping you, you liar! Humph!"

She virtually patted Xu Lindong through the screen.

But when she saw him say he was coming to pick her up, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly. Although she was still sitting at her workstation, her heart had already flown away.

At this moment, a man in a suit and tie with a middle parting walked over and said with a smile:

"Qianxun, isn't your brother coming to pick you up today? Shall I take you home?"

A flicker of disgust crossed Yi Qianxun's eyes, but when she turned her head, her expression was normal, though her pretty face remained aloof, and she waved her hand dismissively:

"No need. My brother will be here today. Besides, Guo Ziqian, I'm not familiar with you, so don't always call me so intimately."

Several colleagues nearby saw the man run into a snag and suppressed their laughter.

The new guy at this place is really going all out to pursue Yi Qianxun.

But these old colleagues of theirs had already given up.

Although Yi Qianxun comes from an ordinary family, she is usually quite aloof and indifferent to most men. She has rejected countless suitors in the past year.

On the other side, Xu Lindong looked at the screen and laughed.

The woman replied "no" immediately, so she definitely meant yes.

He already had experience dealing with Xun Jie, who was stubborn but soft-hearted.

He immediately ordered the latest game discs from a nearby video game store, along with some lollipops, and then picked up the documents and went to the supplies department.

Before the head of the supplies department got off work, he spent 800 merit points to exchange for two kilograms of old stove ash that was over seventy years old, to use as a backup plan.

These kinds of supplies from seventy years ago are remnants from the early days of the supernatural's arrival, and they are very expensive.

Although in recent years, the Xia Kingdom has built old stoves in various places to mass-produce stove ash.

However, as the years go by, the older the stove ash, the more sought-after it becomes, as it is a scarce resource that diminishes with each use.

After all, back in the early days of the Extraordinary Realm, a large amount of old stove stockpiles were consumed in order to seal off various sinkholes. Now, products from that era are much more valuable than thatch from the past.

Therefore, he only exchanged this small package, saving it for use in critical moments.

In normal times, we mainly rely on the ordinary stove ash that we make ourselves.

After this exchange, he only had five thousand merit points left.

……

Two hours later.

At home in Mingjiang Residential Area.

Yi Qianxun, who had been busy all night, was easily won over by the small gift prepared by Xu Lindong.

Her little temper had long since vanished, and she even happily hugged Xu Lindong and gave him a kiss, completely unlike her usual aloof and reserved self, acting like a carefree little woman.

Xu Lindong was already used to it. Seeing her with a lollipop in her mouth, lying on the bed swinging her bare feet, and playing a new game with great interest, he quietly got up and left the room.

"Settle it!"

He mentioned the stove ash and pot ash that Yi Qianxun collected in the old neighborhood last night.

There were also some prepared compressed biscuits. They went back to their room to start preparing stove ash and offerings.

For Xu Lindong, stove ash was like lime powder carried by an unorthodox wanderer.

The offerings were sacred medicines for healing and recovery when one was away from home.

Although the effect may not be as immediate as that of the "village head" in regulating popularity.

However, only with sufficient equipment can one unleash their full potential once inside the sinkhole area.

"Too bad I can't bring my amazing motorcycle in!"

Xu Lindong hummed the pop song "My Father Was a Bricklayer" as he made stove ash.

But I felt a little regretful.

He actually really enjoyed the feeling of crashing his bike into enemies.

However, the situation at the ancestral hall is special; motorcycles cannot be brought in.

However, he can also disassemble the "chimney exhaust pipe" and use it as a super weapon that can be used to hit people and spray large amounts of soot.

He prepared until late at night before drinking the last vial of the Level 3 Extraordinary Potion and immersing his consciousness in the Tower of Babel to cultivate.

The underground rooms of the Tower of Babel.

A mass of authentic low-sequence extraordinary matter, as large as a bowl, was slowly writhing, like a pitch-black heart, emanating a chilling aura.

...

In the next room, Yi Qianxun listened intently to the sounds and realized that Xu Lindong had begun his cultivation. He then put down the handheld game console he was tired of playing, tucked his bare legs into the blankets, and wrapped himself up tightly.

She wasn't actually happy, but to put Dongzi at ease, she pretended to be very happy.

This low mood wasn't because she was angry with Dongzi, but because Xu Lindong was going to enter the sinkhole area tomorrow to carry out a cleaning mission, and she instinctively felt uneasy and heavy-hearted.

She could only silently process these emotions and pretend to be relaxed and carefree so that Dongzi could focus on his mission.

After all, this is Dongzi's duty as an executive officer, and something he must experience in this supernatural world.

She couldn't stop him, so she could only improve her own strength as soon as possible and strive to contribute in the future so as not to hold him back.

"I also need to intensify my cultivation and strive to be promoted to the position of Village Head in the Human Ranks this month!"

"Yi Qianxun, you can do it!"

She crawled out of bed again, took out her phone to look at Xu Lindong's photos, chuckled a few times, leaned against the wall of the room, and began to cultivate.

Meanwhile, information regarding the schedule and participants for the cleanup mission at the ancestral hall and sinkhole area of ​​the ancient town was successfully sent outside the city...

...
