No strange things are allowed to evolve!

After Jiang Shu and Shen Mo had greeted each other, Snow King's mother asked curiously:

"Minister Liang, didn't you go out on business?"

"I heard you were here, so I dropped everything and rushed back." The minister feigned ignorance: "Is my niece alright? Is there anything I can help with here?"

"No, I had a very pleasant conversation with this child." Snow King's mother smiled. "Congratulations on finding such a talented person."

"There aren't many people you'd even look at, so you must be quite talented." The minister chuckled, "Well, if there's nothing else, I'll get back to work."

"Well, you're busy, and we should be leaving soon anyway, so we won't make a special trip to visit you." Snow King's mother nodded.

"it is good."

The minister winked at Shen Mo, then smiled and said goodbye before leaving.

Then Shen Mo cautiously said, "Um, hello, I'm his team leader, my name is Shen Mo. There's something going on in the team, could I borrow him for a little while?"

"You must be Shen Mo. I've heard of you." The Snow King's mother still had a smile on her face, but it had turned into a faint smile. "If there's something to do, let him go with you first."

After saying that, she brazenly said to Jiang Shu, "I have already spoken to your minister and asked him to take good care of you."

However, if anyone here bullies you, you can always switch to our sanctuary.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie." Jiang Shu didn't say much, just expressed her gratitude.

"Okay, daughter, say goodbye to your brother."

"Goodbye." The Snow King looked utterly dejected.

Shen Mo was completely dumbfounded.

First of all, you don't need to speak to the minister; he was already planning to take care of this brat anyway.

Secondly, why have I never heard of the option to switch jobs?

Does this mean I'll have to face the risk of this brat quitting in the future?

Chapter Seventy-Six: The First Mission, But It Started Unsuccessfully

After leading Jiang Shu to a secluded spot, Shen Mo asked her with a mixture of shock and curiosity, "Didn't you just come here to deal with her? How did you end up dealing with her like this?"

Jiang Shu shrugged: "So, tell me if this counts as settling things off?"

"How did you do that?"

"Do you want to know?" Jiang Shu asked with a hint of cunning.

Shen Mo nodded: "Everyone wants to know, right?"

Jiang Shu smiled and said, "Then trade your performance bonus to me. I want performance bonuses equivalent to submitting a calamity-level strategy guide. Give it to me and I'll tell you."

Shen Mo retorted angrily, "Are you robbing me?!"

“Wrong!” Jiang Shu shook his head: “It’s better than robbing.”

"You're crazy. Who would trade their Cataclysm-level strategy performance for this kind of gossip?" Shen Mo looked at Jiang Shu like he was an idiot. "Do you think I'm a sucker?"

“This isn’t gossip, this is the real Burning Technique.” Jiang Shu could only sigh that Shen Mo didn’t know its value: “A calamity-level strategy can only be used once, but my Burning Technique can be used repeatedly. If it weren’t for the fact that a calamity-level strategy couldn’t be handed over, I wouldn’t have told you so easily.”

"Even if you say that, I have no right to give you performance bonuses." Shen Mo didn't believe Jiang Shu's nonsense at all, his mind filled with the minister's promise of "this is the last time."

Jiang Shu could only sigh in exasperation: "You have no idea what an opportunity you missed."

However, Shen Mo didn't take it seriously. He only knew that because of Jiang Shu, he had almost no room for error with the minister.

In the end, it turned out to be all for nothing, and Jiang Shu actually solved the problem perfectly on his own.

This thwarted Shen Mo's plan to establish a savior image in Jiang Shu's mind and then completely control him.

but…

This also made Shen Mo value Jiang Shu even more.

Successfully conquering the disaster-level incubator with invincible skill is one thing, but winning over the president's wife of the Holy Temple with personal charm and social skills is another.

It should be understood that the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but also about human relationships and social interactions.

Shen Mo found it a little strange. Jiang Shu acted like a clueless fool in front of Manager Bai, so how could he turn hostility into friendship with Madam Chu and even win her favor?

He could only conclude that Jiang Shu's emotional intelligence was Schrödinger's; as long as he, the observer, was not present, Jiang Shu's emotional intelligence would be both extremely high and extremely low.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo asked, "She didn't say anything to you, did she? But from what I heard, it seemed like she wanted you to go to the Holy Temple?"

"That's what she meant," Jiang Shu said without hiding anything. "But I told her I had already officially joined the Bureau of Different Systems, so I politely declined her offer."

"Not bad." Shen Mo nodded with satisfaction.

It wasn't for nothing that we spoiled him!

Good things are won through competition. If Shen Mo only saw Jiang Shu's potential and successfully recruited him, then Jiang Shu's value is there, but not that high.

But with the church's invitation, things are different.

While feeling confident in his discerning eye, Shen Mo also felt like Qin Shi Huang eating peppercorns—completely overwhelmed with victory.

"Speaking of which, who exactly is she?" Jiang Shu asked. "She did introduce the Holy Temple to me, saying that they are closest to the Bureau of Different Lineages and are one of the most powerful organizations in the Evolutionary Circle, but she never told me what she does."

"The fact that she didn't tell you means she has her own reasons."

Shen Mo also did not want to tell Jiang Shuxue about Wang's family background.

He was afraid that Jiang Shu wouldn't want to work hard anymore.

So he changed the subject: "Since there's nothing else, let's go report. You know where Group Six is ​​located."

"Didn't you say you were going to tell me about the team?"

Shen Mo hummed in agreement: "I'll be there in a bit."

"alright."

Jiang Shu didn't ask any more questions and headed towards the strategy team's office area.

Two minutes later.

Jiang Shu located the area where Group Six was located.

He knocked on the door and pushed it open, which was slightly ajar.

The office area is neither too big nor too small. At a glance, there are twelve desks arranged in two rows, with three desks connected side by side and three desks side by side, separated by half-person-high partitions.

It looks no different from any other major factory.

Jiang Shu glanced around and saw only four people, each working at their workstations, some looking at documents, others typing on keyboards.

Hearing the noise, they all looked up at Jiang Shu.

The Overlord wasn't there, but one of the people looked familiar. He was the agent who went to Yunfu Temple with Shen Mo and the others yesterday. Jiang Shu remembered that his name was Chocolate.

Jiang Shu greeted him and then said, "The team leader asked me to report for duty."

"You've joined Group Six! Welcome! We'll be colleagues from now on, please take care of me." Chocolate was clearly a warm and friendly person who was very outgoing: "Just go to the meeting room to report for duty, you'll just have to fill out some forms."

"Thank you." Jiang Shu nodded. "However, I'm not sure where the conference room is."

"I'll take you there."

Chocolate put down her work, got up and led Jiang Shu to a glass door in the corner.

He knocked on the door.

A voice called "Come in" came from inside.

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Shu's eye twitched.

Sure enough, when the glass door opened, Shen Mo was sitting at the end of the long table, his fingers interlaced on the table, smiling at Jiang Shu: "You must be the new team member?"

Like the Demon King in the Demon King's Castle, who does nothing but wait for the hero every day and always stays in the same position.

Hearing the glass door behind him close, Jiang Shu finally couldn't help but ask:

"Is this some kind of part you absolutely must try?"

……

"So, the team leader rushed back in such a hurry just now because of him?"

"That should be it."

"However, I have never met this person before. The only person I know who has participated in the assessment recently is Ba Wang, and he was only granted special permission to participate in the assessment outside of the recruitment period because he conquered the disaster-level incubation site."

The three chatted for a while, then looked at Chocolate: "Li Zai, it looks like you know him?"

"Yes, I know him." Chocolate nodded as she returned to her workstation. "He's a friend of Ba Wang, and also a victim of the Yunfu Temple incident that kept the deputy team leader busy until late last night yesterday."

"victim?"

The three exchanged a glance, all finding it somewhat amusing:

How did the victim get in?

In their view, this was tantamount to the team leader going out to rescue hostages, only to have the hostages become part of the rescuers, which was hard to understand.

If he is qualified to be a rescuer, how can he be a victim?

"I don't know then." Chocolate shrugged. "It's the team leader's decision."

The three looked at the glass door, and then one of them whispered, "Didn't Ali say he was Ba Wang's friend? Could he be someone Ba Wang brought along through connections?"

"It's hard to say." The other two agreed that it was a possibility.

It's worth noting that even top-ranked students in the national college entrance examination (Gaokao) have been admitted to Tsinghua and Peking Universities by bringing their girlfriends or boyfriends along.

Although the Bureau of Different Ranks is very special and I've never heard of such a thing before, the Overlord has a catastrophic record, and ordinary people can't compare to him at all. Maybe he has special benefits?

As they were talking, a woman suddenly walked into the office area. Upon seeing her, the three of them immediately stopped gossiping and lowered their heads to do their own thing.

Because she is the strongest person below level six in the Execution Department, and the only Special Rank Executioner in Team Six.

The three of them were only first-class operators, with Chocolate being a second-class operator in charge of logistics.

But if it were just about status, it wouldn't be enough to make them so afraid. What's more important is that the woman has a notorious reputation known throughout the entire Bureau of Different Systems—a mission maniac.

She's either out on field missions or on her way to them every day. She's almost 99% of the time away from the Bureau of Different Principles. When she is there, it's either to redeem rewards or to receive new missions, or she's encountered a difficult problem and has come back to recruit new members.

The woman looked at the three people and the chocolate, and frowned: "Just the few of you?"

"Yes." Chocolate smiled brightly.

Because he knew he was a weakling, the task-obsessed master wouldn't conscript him.

But the other three were terrified; they all kept their heads down, afraid that they would be chosen.

As top-tier operators, they are not allowed to refuse if someone forcibly invites them to form a temporary team, according to the rules.

Although the Bureau of Different Ranks emphasized fairness, it also maintained a clear hierarchy.

Of course, rights also come with corresponding responsibilities. The person who assembles the temporary team must ensure the safety of the team members, cover the rear in case of danger, and distribute the rewards reasonably to everyone after the mission is completed.

Therefore, the three of them were not worried about their lives being in danger, but they were worried about going hungry for three days and nine meals a day if they followed the Madman.

Even if there were rewards, they wouldn't really want them, because anyone could imagine how torturous the task, which even she found difficult, would be.

The good news is that Madwoman didn't choose any one person.

The bad news is, she wants them all.

"Are you all going, Sister Lian?" The three looked miserable. "What kind of work is this?"

"It's a mission to eliminate the mountain demon evolvers. Don't worry, they're not very strong. There are just a lot of small fry, and it would be too troublesome for me to handle them all by myself."

Madwoman gave a casual explanation and urged the three of them to set off with her.

Wow!

Just then, the glass door was pulled open.

Shen Mo led Jiang Shu out.

He clapped his hands: "From now on, this is the newest member of Group Six. His name is Teacher La. Everyone, please welcome him."

Aside from the chocolate, no one responded.

The three people discussing Jiang Shu had serious expressions on their faces, completely devoid of any gossip.

The Mad Demon Sister asked, "What level?"

"Oh, Bai Lian, you're back." Shen Mo greeted him, then replied, "He just joined the Bureau of Different Ranks, so he must have started from the fourth rank."
