Chapter 741: Chapter 742 Relaxing_1

"Asking Ernis for help? Better not."

Feng Yuan said somewhat speechlessly as he thought of something. Not to mention Ernis had a bad reputation among those researchers, even if it helped, it wouldn’t be much use. After all, it had its own matters to attend to, and the City Defense Systems of each city, while seemingly similar overall, had their own detailed designs.

Ernis’s creations were not so easy to understand, especially after entering the modern era. Feng Yuan doubted that if this world wasn’t shaped like an ancient square, Ernis would have probably already come up with something bizarre like a planet-destroying starship.

Besides, recalling the thing that Meng Binglan had made, Feng Yuan suspected that in some technological aspects, human science might not necessarily be weaker than Ernis’s mechanical creations, at least Ernis wasn’t capable of creating a device that could affect and adjust time.

"But this is something we could mention to her."

Chin in hand, Feng Yuan thought, although he wasn’t very familiar with her, he guessed that making a phone call shouldn’t be a problem, right?

"Disturbing someone’s peaceful dreams is unethical!"

"You’ve got some nerve skipping work with such confidence! Aren’t you afraid Han Lei will deal with you?"

"Beat it! I’ve only just gotten a bit of sleep."

"Wait! How do you know I’m not at the team’s base?!"

Startled, Liao Yu asked on the phone while Feng Yuan looked at the building in front of him and said,

"Guess~"

"You didn’t run off to the team’s base, did you? Don’t you have classes today?"

"I’m in a bad mood and needed to do something different to cheer up. Besides, you know I’m in my final semester of high school now~"

"Tsk! I’m not jealous, not at all."

"If there’s an issue, go find Captain Chen. We’ve just finished with the rush, and really don’t have the time to entertain you."

Yawning, Liao Yu said tiredly. There was no choice, given the havoc those people had wreaked. If the Guard Squad hadn’t been summoned urgently, they would probably still be busy.

"How about some coffee to wake you up?"

"Beat it! I’m going to sleep, don’t disturb me!"

Liao Yu hung up the phone somewhat displeased. Even with the Guard Squad’s help, their workload hadn’t been reduced by much. There were only so many hours to rest, and chatting with Feng Yuan would mean probably getting woken up just as he fell asleep for work.

"Pfft!"

Feng Yuan, with Xiao Ji in tow, walked into the special task force’s office building. Seeing Feng Yuan in uniform walk in, the receptionist immediately wanted to assign him tasks, as everyone was so busy now that the reception had no choice but to guide the special task force members who had given up their leave to deal with emergency matters.

"Where’s Captain Chen? I’m looking for him."

Hearing Feng Yuan’s words, the receptionist looked at him somewhat puzzled, then she noticed something amiss—Feng Yuan’s uniform lacked both an identity badge and corresponding insignia.

"Who are you?"

The receptionist asked warily. The Flame Wolfhound at her feet was already ready to jump into action at her signal. Feng Yuan, scratching his head, said with some confusion,

"You don’t recognize me?"

"Nope."

The receptionist became more alert. She strongly suspected that this person might be an accomplice of the masked assailants. Just then, Captain Yan walked in, noticed the receptionist’s plea for help, glanced at Feng Yuan and said,

"Feng Yuan? What are you doing here? Don’t you have classes today?"

"Hey hey! I come here with good intentions to help you sort out trouble, and this is how you all treat me."

Feng Yuan said, dissatisfaction clear in his voice. Captain Yan looked at Feng Yuan’s uniform and asked,

"What’s this about?"

"I’m here to help! After all the trouble those guys caused, I believe you must be swamped."

"Let’s not. Your help might just add to our troubles."

Captain Yan said helplessly. The cause of this incident were the Divine Beasts, and although it wasn’t strictly Feng Yuan’s fault, if he hadn’t brought so many Divine Beasts, neither the visitors from Shangjing nor the masked assailants would have set their sights on Maomu City.

Moreover, they now had to keep an eye on the rapid destruction of the equipment left behind by those masked people. If those things were left behind, they could potentially become a calamity.

"Who said that! I never planned to ask Divine Beasts for help, don’t you trust its strength?"

Feng Yuan pointed to Xiao Ji, who raised its chest proudly and crowed, then glanced at Feng Yuan and Captain Yan, who said calmly,

"The strength is fine, but are you sure it won’t cause destruction? I can see that its move is an indiscriminate attack; it’s fine on a battlefield, but are you sure you can control it in the city?"

"This..."

Naturally, Feng Yuan knew Captain Yan was referring to Xiao Ji’s Crimson Judgement. The fact that Xiao Ji could release it and not suffer serious side effects was already a stretch, and avoiding collateral damage was very difficult. Agunas flicked its tail and said,

"Do you have any Time Series Spirit Beasts?"

"No, but I can tell you that Divine Beast Hall has already sent someone here."

"I will choose the battlefield in the starry sky, don’t worry."

Agunas and Captain Yan looked at each other, and Captain Yan said helplessly while touching his forehead,

"It’s not like that, the ones coming are from the pacifist faction. They won’t use force, they might not even lift a finger, but they’ll stick to you like gum, regarding their objective..."

"I’m not going to join Divine Beast Hall."

Agunas replied resolutely. Although it wasn’t very clear on the ins and outs of Divine Beast Hall, it knew very well that if the organization couldn’t reinvent itself, it would soon disappear.

Although many Divine Beasts had good relationships with the elders of Divine Beast Hall, even close friends, but...

Something coming to mind, Agunas’s face clouded over; Captain Yan misunderstood Agunas’s expression and hurriedly said,

"They won’t force you, and they won’t even seriously offend you, but they’ll keep sticking to you. Are you sure you still want to show up at this time?"

"It’s as if they don’t know Agunas is with me."

Feng Yuan was unconcerned. He didn’t believe for a second that Divine Beast Hall didn’t have detailed intelligence on Agunas. Glancing at Feng Yuan, Captain Yan said,

"Since you really want to help, of course I won’t object. These are our current work priorities; you can choose for yourself."

As he spoke, Captain Yan swiped his hand and a light screen appeared out of thin air, showing the current key tasks and the allocated personnel numbers. Feng Yuan said with some surprise,

"You’ve already utilized the Data Domain to this extent?"

"Of course. Not to mention anything else, but when it comes to task distribution, having Data-based Spirit Beasts help is indeed quite convenient."

Looking at Feng Yuan, Captain Yan said, and after thinking, Feng Yuan replied,

"I’ll choose this one then. The aura of those masked people is quite unique; it shouldn’t be hard to find them."

"That remains to be seen. Even that bastard couldn’t root all of them out; the ones left must be the type that’s very good at hiding."

With a complicated expression, Captain Yan said, although without concrete evidence, he had a guess as to who the person was that dealt with most of the masked individuals hiding in various parts of Maomu City. He had a lot of reservations about that person.

"Maybe not. He had no obligation to help us pull out all those guys. I suspect at the time he just arbitrarily used his power to deal with most that showed their heads."

Shrugging helplessly, Feng Yuan said, and Captain Yan looked at him in disbelief and said,

"You actually know him?"

"What’s so strange about that?"

"But... No! You’re not a test subject, in theory..."

"No need to bother about how he knows that; just think I told him,"

Agunas interjected calmly, and Captain Yan skeptically sized up Feng Yuan before saying,

"Xiao Luo, give him a special task force identity. No need for a badge; I remember you have a universal ID."

Nodding, Feng Yuan took out his own ID. Since he had left the special task force, his original identity had changed, but because of his contributions and other factors, he was ultimately given a special universal ID, which only included his name, personal identification number, and document number, with no mention of position or rank.

The specific position could only be inquired through police or military systems, since even Feng Yuan himself wasn’t sure what his current position was. It could be nothing, or perhaps for convenience, he was given a special duty he had never heard of.

"Universal ID?"

The receptionist called Xiao Luo by Captain Yan took the ID Feng Yuan handed her in surprise. She was naturally aware of it; it was a special ID issued by Great Xia to individuals with special contributions who weren’t government employees. She hadn’t expected the student-looking Feng Yuan in front of her to possess such a thing.
