First-Year Internship—And You Went to Site 749 to Contain Monsters?!
Chapter 354: Bigger Tasks, Sooner Finish; Do As You Please, If Anything Happens, I’ll Take the Blame

......

For others, Deputy Director Ji might not know anything at all, but Yan Feifan definitely did.

Because Yan Feifan’s appearance was often accompanied by Lu Ding.

Isn’t it said outside?

When Yan Feifan walks with Lu Ding, don’t provoke him; if you do, Lu Ding will show you his unique skills.

If Yan Feifan walks alone, don’t provoke him either; if you do, Lu Ding will come to your home later and show you his unique skills.

If they could win over Yan Feifan, maybe Lu Ding would be willing to help the Lingshun 749 Bureau more through their connections in the future...

At this moment, Lu Ding felt very pleased.

He had changed into a new outfit and received a whole bunch of compliments.

Always hope to be recognized by others.

Unless the one giving recognition is of too low a level, or lacks status, or the relationship is shallow.

Then their opinions don’t concern him at all.

But if it’s recognition from family, friends, elders, or someone high-ranking, that’s a different matter.

Lu Ding joked, “Over a thousand contribution points really makes a difference. Not only did the whole vocabulary get refreshed, but the style is also way cooler.”

“A whole set, are you preparing for grad school or something?”

“Hahaha, Lu Brother, be honest. I’m just an honest guy working as a deputy investigator. Honest people speak honestly.”

While the two chatted, Wutian arrived.

He came over and said, “Amitabha, Lu Patron, are you about to ascend to become an immortal?”

Great, another smooth talker.

“Yeah, about to ascend. I already changed into my ascension outfit. Remember to make a statue of me in your temple.”

Lu Ding said this while striking a pose.

Wutian smiled as he rolled his Buddhist prayer beads. “Then I have to make it gold for Patron Lu.”

“Oh, didn’t expect it. Master Wutian, you’re quite wealthy?”

“Amitabha, if others don’t give, this humble monk will. Alms for alms.”

That was a joke he made on himself.

Others making that joke wouldn’t be acceptable.

A bit insulting.

Now everyone had gathered.

Lu Ding said to Yan Feifan, “I’m heading off now, Feifan. Call me if anything comes up.”

“Take it easy, Lu Brother.”

While speaking, he raised the big and small bags in his hand. “Master Wutian, if we can’t eat golden pheasant this time, remember to come back with Lu Brother next time.”

“Amitabha, this humble monk will definitely return.”

Like that, Lu Ding and Wutian followed Deputy Director Ji and set off.

On the private plane, Deputy Director Ji discussed payment with Wutian.

Lu Ding was busy looking through materials.

There was information about the Second Circle Su Family and about the borderlines.

The issues at the borderlines were manageable.

But this Su Family—

Lu Ding really hadn’t expected that Di She would have such a powerful background.

Luckily they killed him early!

Otherwise, if he had made it to the Second Circle, with his way of thinking, who knows what trouble he would have caused.

That would have been quite a hidden danger.

The Third Circle was peaceful, but the Second Circle was a chaotic battleground, a time of constant death.

Such times forge heroes; Di She might not be a hero, but what if?

Even Liu Bang, the great ancestor, was a small-time troublemaker watching dogs fight at the village entrance at over forty years old.

And look at this background.

The powerful Su Family, a formidable grandfather, a missing father, an uncle currently controlling everything in the family, and his uncle’s genius son.

How could this not be talked about?

Maybe that old man of the Su Family is someone who loves his home so much he wants to compensate for Di She’s strength from every angle.

So killing him was really damn worth it!

As for the Su Family problem,

Lu Ding was in the Third Circle, they were in the Second Circle, and they were bound to meet.

Who would win then would depend on their abilities.

At worst, they would have to draw swords, and he was never short of decisiveness.

The two beside him also finished discussing payment.

Deputy Director Ji asked, “Lu Ding, when do you plan to go to Moon Toad Temple?”

“No need to delay, Director Ji. You can assign the personnel now. There are so many tasks I can’t handle alone.”

“I have no other requirements. First, obey orders. Second, keep personal opinions minimal.”

“Since I’m handling this, it has to go my way. You can arrange the rest as you like.”

Lu Ding didn’t want to slap his own people in the face while dealing with outsiders.

That would be too humiliating!

So he made things clear from the start to avoid confusion later.

“Don’t worry, I’ll definitely arrange everything for you.”

Indeed, this was the strongest prodigy of Greater Han this year!

Look at the confidence in those words!

Look at that personality!

Sigh... why didn’t Lingshun produce someone like this?!

“Director Ji, let’s confirm the key points of this mission again.”

After turning on the law enforcement recorder, Lu Ding said, “First, reclaim the land. All black jade soil distributed by the bureau must be taken back, including some rare heavenly materials, treasures, seedlings, and seeds that exceeded fixed allowances.”

“Second, reclaim authority. All seals and certificates issued by the bureau must be taken back.”

“Third, accountability. Question them about receiving benefits but failing in their duty to manage the demons. Question them about not handing over demons promptly, which led to demon-related disasters.”

“Last, make an example of them, shake the mountain and warn the tiger!”

Deputy Director Ji nodded. “Exactly those.”

Then Lu Ding had specific questions: “What is the casualty threshold? What about compensation standards?”

“The situation changes rapidly. We can’t fix a casualty limit. Just don’t have too many casualties. It’s not easy to train investigators in Lingshun. To put it bluntly, they’re like my own sons.”

“For compensation standards, you decide. I’ll cover it when the time comes.”

After he spoke, Lu Ding corrected him, “Deputy Director Ji, you misunderstood. I’m not talking about our casualty limit. I mean Moon Toad Temple’s.”

A heavy hammer is needed for a resonant drum. He was personally involved.

If this turned out to be all talk and no action, wouldn’t Deputy Director Ji be wasting six thousand contribution points?

Deputy Director Ji had initially planned to teach Moon Toad Temple a harsh lesson this time.

But after hearing Lu Ding’s words, he wasn’t so sure anymore.

What did that mean? Wipe them out?

That was a bit extreme, wasn’t it?

And remember, Moon Toad Temple had the old monk with Heavenly Perception. Although a low-level Heavenly Perception, it was still Heavenly Perception.

Was Lu Ding really that arrogant?

But thinking about the knife he brandished earlier in Deputy Director Chu’s office, his imposing aura—

Maybe not so much.

He tentatively said, “Should we hold back a little? Moon Toad Temple has a Heavenly Perception. If you go too far, he might...”

“Eh? Deputy Director Ji, why are you advising me? I’m doing this for you.”

Deputy Director Ji:.......

Only after Lu Ding’s words did he realize.

Who was he?

He was the deputy director!

How did the deputy director become so timid?

Not even as carefree as Lu Ding.

This... wouldn’t do!

He hardened his heart: “Damn it, then it’s still the same—bigger tasks, sooner finish; do as you please. If anything happens, I’ll take the blame!!”

“If the sky falls, let it crush me first!!”

Lu Ding immediately smiled.

This was exactly what he wanted to hear!

“Don’t worry, Director Ji, I’ve got it all figured out.”

Soon, they arrived at Lingshun 749.

The personnel there had already been assigned.

Lu Ding’s usual style was not to waste time.

What was there to delay?

Just get it done!

After getting off the plane, his scholar-warrior sleeves fluttered loudly in the breeze.

Now he was a complete form!

The signature scholar-warrior sleeves appeared.

The Lingshun 749 investigators present instantly recognized who he was!

“Scholar-warrior sleeves!? Isn’t that Lu Ding, the Corpse-Shattering Taishui of Yunhai? Why is he here!?”
