Chapter 702: Chapter 511: Not to be done. _2 Chapter 702: Chapter 511: Not to be done. _2 Even related to the “Red Moon”…

“Speaking of which, apart from that one Follower of the ‘Red Moon’, I haven’t seen others; this seems a bit abnormal. Usually, these guys would emerge in swarms, but this time there’s only one? Coincidence?”

Colin beckoned with his hand, and flames erupted, turning a rogue bus that was rampaging through a secluded area and devouring anyone it saw into ashes.

During this process, he ensured that those who were still alive inside the bus continued to live.

It was after continuously resolving seven or eight abnormal incidents that Colin suddenly had a feeling and looked in a certain direction, where he saw Xu Duojin approaching from one side, and the companions like Qin Chuan beside him quietly walked away to tend to the injured on the scene, waiting for additional support.

“Let’s talk in the car,” Xu Duojin pointed to a business van parked not far away.

Colin nodded and followed him.

“Tonight’s events should be related to the ‘scarlet moon’…” Xu Duojin began directly as soon as Colin got in.

“Red Moon”… Colin nodded, knowing that Xu Duojin, under normal circumstances, would avoid saying “Red Moon” directly if he could.

“As for the specifics, I’ve forgotten a bit now, the place is such that once you leave, in some sense, it is ‘seen and then forgotten’, even I am not an exception. I can only roughly tell you that tonight’s events are related to this thing.”

After pausing, Xu Duojin added and continued, “Of course, you don’t need to be too nervous or worried, just continue what you should be doing. There are still people holding on, so don’t fret too much.”

‘So vague…’

Colin pursed his lips, feeling that the response was a bit perfunctory, but seeing that Xu Duojin indeed didn’t seem to know much.

Or perhaps, as he mentioned, it was a case of ‘seen and then forgotten’?

However, he also picked up on the key point in the other person’s words: “There are still people holding on? How much longer can they last…”

“About half a year,” Xu Duojin said.

Xu Duojin didn’t specify who it was, but there weren’t many candidates who could hold on, and through this timeframe, Colin could roughly guess who it was.

“This sort of event has happened before; it’s not anything particularly big. At most, there might be some abnormal incidents erupting, but for now, you don’t need to focus all your attention here. If it becomes troublesome, don’t bother with it too much, prioritize what you’re doing on your end,” Xu Duojin said.

“Okay.”

Colin nodded and did not continue to inquire further.

Afterward, they exchanged a few more words, discussed the end-of-month transactions, and Xu Duojin also obtained a copy of their action routes they had just taken and then left for the time being.

Old Master Wu had told him to keep an eye on Colin to prevent any mishaps, so now that he was back, he needed to quickly figure out the surrounding situation.

Understand if anyone had been plotting against Colin in secret during this time.

Of course, as Colin’s strength was rapidly increasing, Xu Duojin felt that helping the other conceal himself in the city was becoming increasingly difficult. When he first met Colin a couple of months ago, everything was still manageably well.

Back then, despite being strong, it seemed manageable because he didn’t possess too much extraordinary power.

But now, it seemed that Colin’s strength had already surpassed his own.

As he tried to help hide him, it was like a piece of paper trying to cover a fire; not being burned along with it was already a blessing; it simply couldn’t hide the flames…

The power that Colin possessed was naturally not meant to be hidden; it was very conspicuous.

Sometimes, when Xu Duojin was far away and closed his eyes, he could still vaguely sense a kind of flame igniting somewhere.

If the flame were big enough, it would be fine, but now, while indeed strong, it still somewhat lacked that final oomph to solve everything.

…

“About half a year’s time, huh?”

Colin raised his hand and touched his chin, wondering if there was enough time.

Theoretically, as long as he could step into C Level and become a “Firebearer,” things here wouldn’t be resolved entirely, but at least there shouldn’t be any problem keeping things stable, but…

Reaching C Level might be attainable, but becoming a “Firebearer” was uncertain.

The higher his strength rose, the more Colin felt that something was amiss with the current situation, like a heavy snowfall with no means of starting a fire to ignite that first spark.

Once the fire started, everything would be fine.

Once the flame ignited, any place could become kindling, and the fire could quickly grow fierce.

The fear was that it wouldn’t start…

Then all he could do was longingly sigh at the kindling.

“This is tough, I can only take it one step at a time,” he mused.

Colin shook his head without much fuss, glanced outside the vehicle, and saw that Qin Chuan and others were still dealing with the scene, with no issues, so he took out the parchment and looked it over.

Contrary to his expectations, the employees on the parchment seemed surprisingly happy.

“Confused Cutie ①Sob Sob⑦”: Damn, brothers, we’re open for business! A bunch of tasks came in today!

“Pissing Against the Wind”: Hurry up and do them! Otherwise, all these Emperor of Labors will snatch them away!

“Your pompadour is too big”: Damn it, I had to compete when I was just a regular person, and now as an Extraordinary One, I still have to hustle. I never got to experience those show-off, highlight moments, and instead, I’m stuck in this endless rat race every day!

“Little Building Breezed Last Night”: Actually, it’s not so bad; some tasks allow you to encounter regular people and flex a bit of muscle. My current boyfriend was someone I rescued myself…

“Miss Nell’s Dog”: @Little Building Breezed Last Night, 6.

“Professor Cute Cuddle”: Brothers, if you don’t want to compete, you can consider “The Descent Project”, “World Code-13”, Brother Shunzi is leading the team himself, no life-threatening risks involved, easy work, relaxed and comfortable, each task only requires three hours and you can easily pocket thousands of points…

“Pure Innocent Smile”: Three hours? I’ll believe that when pigs fly…

…

“Being clueless seems pretty nice too.”

Colin sighed. The majority of the employees were carefree like amoebae, unlike him— the more he knew, the more likely he was to have a lot on his mind and find it hard to be happy.

Then, he got in touch with “Life Mentor Adorable” and asked for a list.

This time, selecting people, he had his eye on the top ten percent of D Level Personnel.

He planned to pick five lucky individuals from among them.

As for those below D Level, although the official side was still not keen on letting him take people to join the adventure in the Other World, the issue wasn’t too big.

The company had a huge number of employees, so it would be enough to select some with specialized skills.

“This time, in addition to mastering land development technologies, we need to find some who can effectively manage the population and establish an effective administrative system…”

Colin muttered to himself. With the rapid expansion of his territory and the surge in population numbers, the original rudimentary management was no longer enough.

It was necessary to put together a more suitable and efficient framework, lest it become difficult to handle the crowds later…

In this regard, the officials were actually quite helpful, often mobilizing talents from all over the world to design various things, new ethnic concepts, spiritual outlooks, new values in life, and so on.

However, this kind of assistance was only like scratching an itch through a boot.

Specific employees needed to be found to carry out these tasks while the Little Maid handled supervisory and assistive management duties.

“Sigh, according to Xu Duojin, it seems some people from the official side have joined the company, but unfortunately, they seem to be cultivated by various factions as some sort of Spark and aren’t willing to be transferred to me.”

Colin felt it was a pity.

Not to say that there was a lack of talent outside of the officials, the company was full of all sorts of people, so finding the right talent shouldn’t be a problem, but the issue was, Colin didn’t have their personal details, making them hard to find.

However, the good thing was that after a long period of “desensitization” work,

Nowadays, people were less resistant to “The Descent Project.”

After all, of the initial fifty people, to this date, not one had died…

And the points they earned were indeed substantial.

So much so that Colin even saw people proactively inquiring about the situation and expressing their interest, and aside from a few who weren’t to his taste, they were all pretty good…

Afterward, having chosen some acceptable employee names and noting them in his notebook, Colin put away the parchment, planning to allocate tasks to them after he entered the event in some time.

“Next, there’s the delivery task on the 20th for ‘South Sea Bodhisattva’…”

Colin thought for a moment and decided to stake out the place tomorrow to ensure he arrived at the scene at the earliest opportunity.

Of course, before that, he had to clear all the anomalies near his home to prevent any new problems from cropping up in this area while he was carrying out the task.
