Chapter 966: Chapter 461: Examiner Task, Home Buying Interlude!_3

"Be attentive and don’t make any mistakes!"

Pfft!

Xia Hongyao spat out her juice, looking at Xia Hongmian in shock. "We’re going to be examiners?"

"What’s the problem?"

Xia Hongmian glanced at her sister. "Lacking confidence?"

Xia Hongyao indeed felt a little unsure. Being an examiner wasn’t only about protecting the candidates from getting killed by the rules’ pollution, but also preventing them from cheating.

If something went wrong, it would be a stain on her record for life!

That’s why every year, only experienced Lion King level Divine Hunters were chosen as examiners. If not, they had to at least be at the Violent Bear Level.

As for the chief examiners, needless to say, they had to be at the Dragon Level.

But High Ponytail heard that Lin Baici was also an examiner,

Solid!

"I’ll go tell Little Linzi to ask for leave in advance!"

Xia Hongyao was very happy but then she stopped and turned back to look at Xia Hongmian.

"What’s wrong?"

Xia Hongmian smiled faintly. "Wanting to ask me why I made Lin Baici an examiner?"

"It’s not that. With Little Linzi’s talent, it would be no different from being blind if you didn’t make this decision!"

Xia Hongyao shook her head.

"..."

Xia Hongmian frowned. Why do I feel like you’re insulting someone?

"I just regret that Little Linzi becoming an examiner means he can’t participate in the license assessment. I was planning on letting him break Ying Baili’s record!"

Xia Hongyao sighed.

The content of Jiuzhou Security Bureau’s license examination was more or less the same each year, besides the written test, the most crucial part was to clear Luoyang Seven Towns.

The current record was set by Ying Baili last year, finishing a whole day and seven hours early, and thus, Ying Baili also received the same genius clause as Lin Baici, with an annual salary of one hundred million.

Xia Hongyao wanted to prove that Lin Baici was even more formidable than Ying Baili!

"Haha!"

Xia Hongmian shook her head and chuckled, her sister’s personality... she really wanted the whole world to know how awesome her team member was!

"It doesn’t matter, I still have Gu Qingqiu!"

Xia Hongyao grinned, "If it’s just an IQ test, I think she could outsmart Ying Baili in a second. I’m off to tell Little Lin the news!"

Watching her sister leave, Xia Hongmian contemplated.

"Gu Qingqiu, huh?"

Xia Hongmian continued working. It wasn’t long before a middle-aged man, around thirty-five or thirty-six years old, barged in through the door.

"Minister, what’s the deal with Lin Baici?"

Yuan Jifeng, holding a document and fuming, demanded, "Why is he on the team of examiners?"

"I arranged it!"

Xia Hongmian’s voice was cool.

"Why?"

Yuan Jifeng, not understanding, pressed, "Examiners should at least be at the Violent Bear level!"

"Says who?"

Xia Hongmian countered.

"Uh..."

Yuan Jifeng was at a loss for words; actually, no one had set such a rule, but as time went by and after several assessments, it had become an unwritten custom.

"Minister, we absolutely can’t have any errors in the license assessment!"

Yuan Jifeng tried to reason.

Xia Hongyao was one thing — he knew that Xia Hongmian’s sister, despite not being very bright, was exceptionally strong in combat. Bringing her along to broaden her horizons was fine. But Lin Baici? He hadn’t even obtained his license, what right did he have to be an examiner?

"Get out!"

Xia Hongmian rebuked.

"All the examiner data has to be submitted to the chief examiner. If I go now, I won’t know what to tell them?"

Yuan Jifeng was troubled.

Each year, the Divine Hunters’ license examinations dispatched a chief examiner and a team of deputy examiners from headquarters, and the other six major branches sent one chief examiner along with ten examiners.

"If you can’t explain it, I’ll find someone else!"

Xia Hongmian, with a gaze as tranquil as a dead pool that could drown a person, looked at Yuan Jifeng.

Yuan Jifeng’s mouth moved, but in the end, he left without saying anything, dejected.

"Close the door!"

Xia Hongmian instructed.

Yuan Jifeng left, looking at the data for the ten examiners in his hands. The resume for Lin Baici, for a newcomer, was quite impressive...

Having purified the spiritual ruins of Dragon Temple in Guangqing, Palm Harbor God Market, and the Haijing Museum, dealt with stray dog pollution, high-speed train clay human contamination, and killed the Black Shark Triton lost at sea...

But the problem was being an examiner!

Lin Baici had no experience!

Xia Hongyao might not have had it either, but she had a good sister. What did Lin Baici have? Could it be that he was Xia Hongmian’s brother-in-law?

Although he had not yet met Lin Baici, Yuan Jifeng’s impression of him had already plummeted to zero.

Unable to make Xia Hongmian change her choice, he had to think of other methods.

Yuan Jifeng planned to assign Lin Baici some inconsequential tasks to keep him busy doing menial work.

Ah,

Assigning such a person was basically setting up the candidates for mockery, wasn’t it?

The license assessments of the Jiuzhou Security Bureau’s Divine Hunters were not particularly difficult, but they maintained a consistent elimination rate of sixty-five percent, which showed how many candidates accumulated over the years.

This year, due to Qin Palace, the main forces of every branch had gone to Qinling, so the combined strength of the examiners would be somewhat weaker.

For example, Yuan Jifeng, whose strength was just Below Dragon Level—normally would only be at the standard of a deputy examiner, but this year, he was leading the team as Haijing branch’s chief examiner.

Yuan Jifeng heard that those Divine Hunters who originally didn’t plan to take part in the assessment were now willing to try their luck, and some even planned to collude in cheating to sell pass slots.

This was also why Yuan Jifeng was so anxious; if someone managed to obtain the license by cheating this time, it would be his disgrace.

"Such a hassle!"

Muttering under his breath, Yuan Jifeng decided to first gather the other eight examiners for a meal to discuss and coordinate.

Having Xia Hongyao and Lin Baici there would be an embarrassment to the Haijing branch, wouldn’t it?

...

That evening, after dinner, Lin Baici who was playing with his phone on the couch, received an unexpected phone call.
