Chapter 114 extra
Lu Ze had enough points. After he came back, he went to the Quick Transmigration Department and was promoted to team leader as a matter of course.
Compared to ordinary mission-takers, the team leader had more authority and did not need to complete missions at a high frequency. He would mostly stay in the main god space and deal with the various matters of the team.
But at the same time, the difficulty of the missions they accepted was also higher than that of ordinary mission-takers.
Lin Yan accompanied him through all the procedures. He endured it again and again, but in the end, he still couldn’t help but say, “Why don’t you come to the judgment team with me?”
Lu Ze looked back at him. Before he could speak, the head of the face-slapping department on the side widened his eyes and shouted, “Hey, hey, hey, Team Leader Lin, you’re going too far. You can’t just burn the bridge after the red thread has been tied and throw me, this matchmaker, aside, and you even want to poach someone in front of me. Isn’t that unreasonable?”
Lin Yan looked at him. “The face-slapping department is not short of talent. If you are willing to part with him, Department Head Xie, then the judgment team and the face-slapping department can also have a better cooperation in the future.”
Xie Sui chuckled. There was a limit to the number of times a mission-taker could fail a mission. If the failure rate was too high, he could only engage in other work in the main god space and could not continue to carry out missions. Even if the mission was successful, the quality of the mission had to be considered. A team leader who had been cultivated through hundreds of high-quality worlds, could he just be given away?
Except for a few worlds at the beginning of the mission where Lu Ze had gotten a B rating because he was inexperienced, the remaining hundred or so worlds were all A-rank or S-rank evaluations, and there were no failures. This person was someone that Xie Sui had had his eye on for a long time. How could he just give him away?
He said with a smile, “The face-slapping department has many people and many missions. It’s impossible to part with him, but there’s still a vacant position for the team leader of the face-slapping department. I just don’t know if you’re willing to condescend, Team Leader Lin.”
Lin Yan’s expression moved, and he felt that it was not impossible to hold two positions at the same time. Just as he was about to say something, Lu Ze said helplessly, “Alright.”
He looked at Lin Yan. “Aren’t you busy enough?” In the two days they had been together, Lu Ze had seen his workload. Although the judgment department had few people, it had a lot of work.
Lin Yan said, “It’s not that I can’t spare the time.”
“If you have time, you should spend more time with me.” He rubbed his head, and then he looked at Xie Sui. “I should have a vacation, right?”
Seeing that he had not managed to poach him, Xie Sui was undoubtedly a little disappointed. He shrugged his shoulders. “As you wish. You don’t have many missions. It all depends on how you arrange them.”
After confirming that there were no problems, the two parties parted ways.
Lu Ze was not in a hurry to go to the mission world. He first familiarized himself with the matters he had to deal with. After he gradually got the hang of it, he slowly freed up some time.
Lin Yan’s work was no less than his, and the two of them were equally busy. Fortunately, the main god space had a high degree of freedom, and work was not limited to any time or place, so the two of them could often get together. On weekdays, they would go around to various departments. After Lu Ze gradually became familiar with the structure of the main god space, he had also dealt with most of the matters on hand.
“Go to the mission world?” Lin Yan looked at him, a little surprised.
Lu Ze nodded. Lin Yan asked again, “The face-slapping department?”
Lu Ze smiled. “Baby, we’re on our honeymoon. Why would we go to the face-slapping department?”
Lin Yan’s face turned red at his words, and he couldn’t help but say, “Didn’t we meet in the face-slapping department?”
Lu Ze feigned a thoughtful look. “Then you want to… revisit the old place?”
Lin Yan still shook his head. “No.”
The face-slapping department was a department with a strong mission nature. It was not impossible to go and play on weekdays, but for a honeymoon…
“How about we go to the strategy department?” Lu Ze suggested.
One of the benefits of being a team leader was that he had the authority to go to the worlds of other departments, but he also had to carry out missions.
Lin Yan thought for a moment and readily agreed.
After they arrived, the person in charge of the strategy department glanced at them, obviously not surprised by this kind of honeymoon behavior. He pushed up his glasses and said, “The judgment department has special authority, but an ordinary world can generally only accommodate one mission-taker. If you two want to go, one of you has to have your memory sealed.”
The two looked at each other. Just as Lin Yan was about to say that he would do it, Lu Ze had already opened his mouth. “Can we both have our memories sealed?”
“Hmm?” The person in charge raised an eyebrow, and he repeated, “Both of you together, are you sure? If your memories are sealed, how will you complete the strategy mission?”
Lin Yan was also a little surprised. Lu Ze looked at him and chuckled softly. “You don’t have confidence?”
Lin Yan paused and shook his head. He believed that whether he had his memory or not, he would fall in love with him after he saw him.
This was an attraction that came from the depths of their souls.
The person in charge tutted twice, and then he said with a serious face, “It’s not impossible. If you both have your memories sealed and are sent to the world, then you probably won’t need the system’s extra assistance, right?”
Lu Ze shook his head.
The person in charge nodded decisively. “Alright, then you can discuss who will be the strategist first.”
Lin Yan was the first to say, “Me.”
Lu Ze looked back at him. Lin Yan said, “You’ve pursued me for five worlds. Let me try to pursue you.”
Lu Ze’s eyes curved slightly, and he let out a laugh. “Alright.”
The person in charge looked at the two who were being so sticky and tutted twice. “You can prepare to be sent to the world now.” He pushed up his glasses again and said with a smile, “You two are both rare mission-takers who have never failed a mission. Don’t break the record in our strategy department. A few days ago, I heard that Team Leader Yin of the repair team had stumbled and suffered a great loss in the mission world.”
Lin Yan glanced at him. “Don’t worry, Team Leader Zhou.”
The two walked into the mission room and lay down side by side in the mission pods. After they closed their eyes, the system’s voice beeped:
【Beep, beep, world loading…】
【Loading successful.】
【…】
It was September, and the air was like flowing fire. The leaves on the trees on both sides of the school road were motionless, and the shadows on the ground were also shrunk into a ball. Even the leaves in the green bushes were wilted, and it was so hot that it was hard to breathe.
Although it was already time for school to be over in the afternoon, the afterglow of the sun was still there, and the students were sweating profusely after coming out of the air-conditioned rooms for a short while.
“Oh my god, what time is it? Why is it still so hot?” A young boy in a school uniform was holding a small electric fan in one hand and fanning his face with the other. He looked at the sun that had sunk to the west and complained listlessly, “I feel like I’m going to dry up.”
The students, who had already been through a day of mental activity, were now even more listless from the heat, and they had no intention of going out to play.
The boy next to him had not spoken all along. Hao Chengfei couldn’t help but turn his head to look, and he nudged him with his elbow, and said with a bitter face, “Aren’t you hot, Brother Lu?”
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes and looked into the distance. Hearing this, he said, “Shut up.” He hooked his neck and pointed in a certain direction. “Over there… isn’t that the kid, Lin Yan?”
Hao Chengfei looked over and his eyes widened. “Hey, it really is.”
“No, what is that kid doing?” He rubbed his eyes and moved his body forward. “Is someone confessing?”
Lu Ze looked at the girl who was holding a love letter with both hands and tutted. “Are you talking nonsense?”
Hao Chengfei glanced at his face and immediately stood on his brother’s side and said righteously, “I don’t know what kind of love potion this kid has given the girls in our school. How many days has it been since he transferred here, and how many love letters has he received?”
He didn’t know how his own brother had gotten into a conflict with this new transfer student, but he had always seen them at odds with each other. Hao Chengfei was naturally on his brother’s side and said, “He’s just a pretty boy. He looks so weak. How can he be as strong and mighty as you, Brother Lu?”
Lu Ze immediately looked at him with disgust. “Get lost.” Strong and mighty, how can it sound so stupid?
The two of them were leaning against a tree. Hao Chengfei chuckled and continued to squint over there, and he suddenly exclaimed, “Hey, hey, he rejected her, he rejected her!”
Seeing the young boy push the love letter back, and then nod at the girl, and was about to turn and leave, Hao Chengfei was shocked. “Holy crap, that’s the school belle. He doesn’t even like her? How high must his standards be?”
Lu Ze snorted and was about to say something when he suddenly paused. “Who did you say?”
“The school belle, Zhou Siyan,” Hao Chengfei pouted. “Didn’t you see, boss?”
Lu Ze narrowed his eyes and looked over again. He could only see that it was a tall girl in a short skirt, and there were no other distinguishing features.
Hao Chengfei was still chattering on. “Who doesn’t know that you’re interested in Zhou Siyan, boss? Lin Yan’s attitude is not only a slap in her face, but also a slap in your face, boss…”
He rambled on for a long time, and Lu Ze’s face changed. In the end, he turned around and punched him. “Shut up.”
Hao Chengfei was suddenly beaten, and his face was full of grievance. “Boss, boss, we can’t let that kid, Lin Yan, continue like this. If this goes on, you’ll have no face left in our Seventeenth High School, boss, boss…”
Lu Ze listened to his nagging all the way with impatience, and it wasn’t until they were not far from home at a fork in the road that he threw him off.
Lu Ze’s home was in an old residential area, not far from the school. It was also a prime area with good schools. The people who lived there were either tenants of the Seventeenth High School or some elderly people. At dinnertime, the residential area would be filled with the smoke of cooking, and the aroma of all kinds of home-cooked dishes would be overflowing, and it was full of the breath of life.
Lu Ze was tall, big, and handsome, and most of the people in the residential area knew him. They would greet him with a smile, “The Lu family’s kid is back from school?”
“Little Ze, you’re so early today.”
“I just passed by your house. Your mom seems to have cooked ribs today. The smell is so good~”
Lu Ze was the boss at school, but in the eyes of these elderly people in the residential area, he was a sensible and cheerful good child. He greeted them one by one with a smile and climbed up the stairs to his own third floor.
He took out his key and opened the door, and the first thing that hit him was a fragrance. It was the sweet and sour ribs that the neighbor’s grandmother had just mentioned. Lu Ze took a deep breath, and his mood instantly became happy. He kicked off his shoes, put on his slippers, and poked his head into the kitchen, but he didn’t see anyone, so he knew that his mom had probably gone out for something.
He turned around and walked to his own room, twisted the handle and opened the door, and looked up, and unexpectedly saw a slender and fair body.
His waist was flexible, and his back was thin, and he was full of a neat and clean youthful feeling.
Lu Ze’s action paused. The person inside raised both hands and was changing out of his school uniform short-sleeved shirt. Hearing the noise, he quickly put his clothes back on, turned his head to look at the door, and his expression was surprised. “Why are you back?”
Lu Ze raised an eyebrow, looked at the young man’s cold and delicate features, leaned lazily against the door, and asked back, “Big brother, this is my home. Why can’t I come back?”
Lin Yan frowned.
