First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 259: When Ordered to Strike, Don’t Bother Telling People from Beasts

.....

Most people would rather be a chicken head than a phoenix tail.

But Yan Feifan, staying by Lu Ding’s side, would rather be a phoenix tail than a chicken head.

Li Qianxing acted like he didn’t get it: “What if I give you a Section Chief spot? Office work, 100 Contribution Points a month.”

No missions, no running around, no danger.

100 Contribution Points a month.

That’s a lot.

But Yan Feifan didn’t even need to think: “Sir, I’m not cut out for that. 100 Points is worth more than my life.”

“Director, 150.”

“No, sir, please don’t raise it. I’ve never seen that kind of offer in my life—my poor heart wouldn’t take it, what if my hands shake and I can’t steer straight? It’d be unsafe.”

Heh!

Now that’s something.

Even 150 Points a month and he’s not tempted.

This guy’s really loyal to Yunhai!!

There’s only one word for someone like this: solid!!

Just excellent!

And he fits Luoyao 749’s character—obedient, loyal, quick-thinking, flexible, and gets things done right.

Whatever Luoyao 749 already had, he had.

Whatever they lacked, he also had.

Li Qianxing didn’t say anything more,

but in his heart, the desire to recruit Yan Feifan only grew stronger.

If it didn’t work here,

he’d file a request with Yunhai 749.

He didn’t believe they’d be stingy enough to keep one person from him.

What he didn’t know—

was that over in Yunhai 749, the relevant department was already drafting a proposal to increase Yan Feifan’s compensation.

Extremely capable on the admin side,

and closely connected to Lu Ding, the face of the unit—emotionally and rationally, how could he not get a raise?

....

Meanwhile.

At the He Family estate.

Watching the Luoyao 749 investigators work the scene,

Lu Ding couldn’t help feeling exasperated.

Like now.

Up ahead, a Divine Palace Realm cultivator from the He Family was being surrounded.

He swept his staff across to knock back incoming Luoyao 749 investigators,

shielding two young He Family members behind him.

Pointing his staff at everyone present: “Come on then!!!”

The other investigators were still preparing to charge.

Lu Ding turned and looked at the nearby Luoyao 749 war truck.

Turned back.

Grabbed the Demon-Slaying Cannon on the vehicle, popped open the ammo case, and pulled out a heart-sized bullet still pulsing like a living heart, shoving it into the chamber.

Click.

Safety off, chambered a round with a smooth backhand.

Movements swift and clean.

Took aim—

Boom!!!

The Divine Palace cultivator was instantly blown to pieces.

All the other cultivators turned their heads, only to see Lu Ding raising the cannon and saying:

“You think these weapons are for show? They’re for use.”

“But our instructor told us—it’s unethical to use this kind of weapon on humans. There are usage rules; it’s for monsters and demons only.”

“Yeah, using it on people without cause would land us in the 749 internal court.”

Lu Ding sighed. These people really did follow the rules—strict to the letter.

“The order was to kill on sight any He Family cultivators involved in framing investigators.”

“If it’s a kill order, then don’t worry about the method. Use the smallest cost to achieve the biggest result. And besides, going to the internal court? Someone has to report you first.”

“As long as the mission order clearly defines the target and doesn’t restrict what you can use—it means you can use anything.”

“Now, does that make sense?”

Lu Ding’s explanation blew open a new world for the Luoyao 749 investigators.

Wait, it could be interpreted like that?

They turned to each other.

Next thing you know, they were all rushing to the war truck, pulling out high-power lethal weapons, flipping safeties and opening fire.

Lu Ding watched the scene.

If only Yunhai 749 had a Sky Net system.

Then he wouldn’t have to worry about the aftermath.

And they’d definitely use weapons like this.

If Yunhai 749 had Sky Net,

believe it—

their arsenal would get an annual upgrade.

These Luoyao 749 folks didn’t know how to use Sky Net properly.

Thought it was just for sealing a perimeter and trapping enemies?

Wrong!

Its true purpose—once the mission is clear—is to let you annihilate targets with no distinction between human or beast.

Only allowed for demons and monsters?

If that were true, why bring a war truck at all?

As long as no innocents are hurt—who’s going to care?

Are there innocents in the He Family right now?

Sure!

But they wouldn’t be on the battlefield.

If they showed up and fought back—

then they’re not innocent.

The innocent ones already surrendered.

Since they’re not innocent, why bother being gentle?

Tired. Let it all burn.

Luoyao 749—

a bunch of sincere fools.

Yan Feifan came back from his errand and saw Lu Ding’s weary expression. He asked: “Brother Lu, what’s wrong?”

Li Qianxing followed close behind.

Seeing the investigators finally using high-power weapons with flexibility, he was very pleased.

Without realizing it, that satisfaction showed on his face.

Lu Ding looked at the change in his expression.

Great.

Now he’s proud.

Proud of this? Seriously?

Oh man.

Lu Ding couldn’t even watch.

No wonder.

This is where the problem started.

Sigh.

“Nothing. I’m going out for some air.”

Lu Ding didn’t want to say more.

Li Qianxing didn’t stop him, just watched him leave.

Thinking—

He must be amazed by the Luoyao 749 team’s execution.

Outside the He estate.

Lu Ding chatted with Yan Feifan about what had just happened, laughing as he did.

“With such good resources, how did it get used like that?”

Still couldn’t understand.

Yan Feifan thought about Li Qianxing’s recent interest in him.

He gathered his thoughts and gave Lu Ding a summary:

“Brother Lu, there’s no way I’m leaving. But since Deputy Director Li appreciates me…”

“I think I should show some goodwill in return.”

“I want to take your mindset and philosophy, write up an analysis report, combine it with Luoyao 749’s field realities, and compile a manual to gift to Deputy Director Li.”

“What do you think?”

Lu Ding wasn’t surprised by this choice.

That was just who Yan Feifan was.

And with him around,

Yan Feifan would never be treated poorly.

“There are scouts, and then there are fine horses. Fine horses are common, scouts are rare. I support your idea.”

Li Qianxing’s appreciation—though Yan Feifan turned it down—was still a gesture of goodwill.

They were brother departments after all. Working together could only be a good thing.

It was also another way to showcase Yan Feifan’s capabilities.

Lu Ding really liked that.

And it showed how loyal and devoted Yan Feifan was.

Lu Ding’s offhand words—

Yan Feifan didn’t quite get them: “Brother Lu, what scout and what horse?”

Lu Ding gave a rough explanation.

Yan Feifan shook his head: “If it weren’t for you, Brother Lu, who would even know the name Yan Feifan? I’m not some fine horse—just a chicken or dog that followed someone who made it big.”

“If I were a fine horse, then my only scout is you, Brother Lu.”

“Hahahahaha, well then, I’ve got a good eye,” Lu Ding laughed.
