Chapter 95 Everyone is busy
The sound sleep was interrupted before it even began.
The crisp "Ding Dong" ringtone continued, and the mobile phone that had been unmuted was trying to disturb its owner's actions, and it also contained a hint of resentment from the person on the other end.
The ball of light grumbled in dissatisfaction in his palm. Under the double urging, Shi Xu struggled to get up and grabbed the phone with an expressionless face.
"Say no to overtime: I'll give it to you."
"Say no to overtime: This trip out is really tiring, but I still have a lot of documents to approve. At this moment, I really regret walking down the stairs not long ago and meeting someone by the lake (bitter soybean.jpg)"
"Say no to overtime: By the way, remember to decide early, this form must be submitted the day after tomorrow"
"Say no to overtime: Hiss, so I have to prepare the wording after you send it to me, time is really tight... For the sake of my success rate, please be quick, sir, and don't mess up our cooperation by meeting the deadline."
"Say no to overtime: OK, I have to work overtime, I hope my limbs won't let me drown in the bathtub"
"Say no to overtime: (smiling soybean.jpg)"
Shi Xu indifferently chose to read the message without replying. After a brief contemplation, he lowered his head to look at the sofa and blanket.
The suitable temperature and soft touch seem to exude an alluring scent of "Come and go to bed", which is attracting people to sink into it without reservation.
“……” Shi Xu was silent.
Putting the ball of light that was curled up in his palm aside, the young man resigned himself to opening his mailbox and removing the annoying red dot.
Sleep pauses, work continues.
After the file is opened, it is an unfinished "Superpower Schedule" and information about the most recent copy. The itinerary has already filled in the assigned tasks for some of the psychics and the guild team that will cooperate with the government.
His eyes immediately fixed on the familiar name, and Shi Xu whispered the name of the guild at the end: "Lingyao."
A team that did not perform well in the Battle of Zhuolu attracted a lot of attention because one of its members hid in a tree, escaped from the black fog, and successfully survived to the end of the team competition.
This is also the guild team that the protagonist group will cooperate with next.
The copy was to be cleared after a week, but the positions behind the two teams were still empty. It seemed that the superiors had not decided which copy to arrange.
Without hesitation, the information about the copy had been delivered by Bai Ye on time. Shi Xu directly filled in the blank with an A-level copy, which was located in a remote area in the west and was also the farthest location in the series of copies.
In the original world line, the protagonists did not participate in this copy. After being severely damaged by the Dark Nest, the righteous side was forced to recuperate. Most of the psychics who participated in the Battle of Zhuolu were lying on the ground, with tragic casualties, so that the invasion of the black fog became more serious. This is also the most fatal turning point in the original plot, representing the light of dawn being gradually swallowed up.
Now, the turning point has been successfully turned from negative to positive, extending a road that has never existed before, but even so, the role of the original world line has not diminished.
For example, in the copy distribution this time, in order to prevent their decision from becoming a black comedy, Shi Xu and Guangqiu found out the endings one by one in the action that was like looking for a needle in a haystack, and thought for a long time before finally deciding on the one that was suitable for the plan and could benefit the protagonist group a lot.
As for the other teams? Let's leave it to the professionals. After all, the commander's special abilities are perfect for this task, and there is no one more suitable than him.
There isn't much to do regarding the psychic's schedule. Shi Xu forwarded the file back, and after briefly describing the information he had learned, he quickly muted his phone and threw it aside.
Then I sat quietly for a while, and I felt my mind was clear, without any sleepiness at all.
“…”
Shi Xu narrowed his eyes and picked up the map expressionlessly.
——
After the Battle of Zhuolu, the days that followed were peaceful. Apart from the mountains of things to do that kept people busy, there were no other dangerous matters to deal with.
When the crazy turnover was over, I was shocked to realize that three days had passed, as if it was just a blink of an eye.
"worn out--"
Si Yu'an fell on the bed wailing. He felt as if he had been treated like an ox for the past three days. The objects he needed to move were heavier and more numerous than each other, and there seemed to be no end to the overwhelming force that was about to drown the ox.
"worn out……"
At the same time, Ye Yunhe also fell dejectedly to the other side. As a user with the ability to reverse the flow of time, her energy was drained after repeated use. Even if she didn't need to carry objects, her limbs were still weak and powerless.
Why are there so many things going on?
Good question. After the Dark Nest attack, the props that the government had scheduled earlier were successfully brought to life thanks to the researchers' day and night hard work, such as the black fog magnetic field observer, the newly invented energy detector... All the strange and useless things were moved up, waiting to be sent to various regions. In addition to these, there are also some reports and recruiting new people and so on... It is complicated and vibrant.
There was already a shortage of manpower, and people had to be assigned to clean up the newly arrived copies, which made the shortage even worse. It was really a waste of resources to let high-level psychics do miscellaneous tasks, so after a meeting, the top management immediately decided to hand over copies below S-level to high-level people. The remaining potential psychics, due to being frightened, stayed at home to "rest" and completed the assigned moving work or other clerical work.
Lin Muyu was one of the people who received the clerical work. At this moment, he was rubbing his sore wrists and red knuckles, leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed.
"Captain, should we be able to have a good rest tomorrow?" Si Yu'an's spirit was rarely weak. "Now I dream about moving things every night! It's terrible!"
Ye Yunhe buried his head in the quilt.
"It's almost over. We shouldn't need to share the burden anymore." Lin Muyu closed his eyes and replied in a gentle tone, "I have received the news. The cooperative dungeon will be cleaned up in four days. We have to work with the cooperative team in the next few days."
"Hmm?" Ye Yunhe poked his head out.
She asked faintly, "Which team?"
"Lingyao." Lin Muyu opened his eyes with a smile in his eyes, "It's funny, we were going to cooperate with Poxiao in the beginning."
"Unfortunately, Qin You... doesn't like bugs, so we have to cooperate with Ling Yao instead."
Ye Yunhe buried his head again, remembering the strange feeling of the centipede crawling on his neck that day, and the embarrassed escape of that thin figure.
"Lingyao... sounds so familiar. Oh! Is it the Three Guards One Team they mentioned?" Si Yu'an perked up again, propping himself up with a sharp gaze, "It's that Wu Ma...what's his name? Anyway, that guy seems to be a bit shy. Is that okay?"
"It's Wuma Tu." Ye Yunhe picked up her phone and turned to the three-person group chat that Qin You and Yun Paopao had pulled her into. They had discussed this famous "Three Auxiliary and One C" team before.
"Qin You told me that although this man's personality and abilities are hard to describe, his strength is that of a real pentagonal warrior. He just needs to be bound together with his teammates to perform successfully. Cooperation with us cannot be said to be compatible with each other, we can only say that we fight each other."
"Sister Qing Yuan is in charge of our rescue team." She waved her hand and chose to play badly. "I have always trusted Sister Qing Yuan's social skills. Let her take care of the coordination with Wu Madu."
"Well, this copy happens to be for seven people, so there is no need to add another teammate." Lin Muyu nodded and said.
"The dungeon is far from us, so it will take a long time to get there. We just need to get to know each other better in the next few days, and strengthen our tacit understanding and cooperation, so that we don't lose each other in the dungeon."
"Seven people..." Upon hearing this number, Si Yuan pursed his lips, then quickly put aside his emotions and smiled.
He turned and asked, "Is it still A-level, Captain?"
"Yeah, after all, he's S-level..." Lin Muyu was about to answer when his pocket suddenly rang several times quickly, which were the sounds of message alerts.
Hiss, there won’t be another job, will there?
The familiar ringtone brought back unpleasant memories. Ye Yunhe and Si Yu'an looked at each other and saw panic in each other's eyes. They all looked at the captain, trying to find a clue on that gentle face.
The next second, Lin Muyu sighed slowly and his expression became embarrassed.
"Ah..." "Ah——" Seeing this, two groans unwilling to accept reality sounded at the same time. However, despite complaining, they still slowly propped themselves up, left the embrace of the bed, and began to ask about the location.
Lin Muyu was replying to the message with a smile on his lips, and he didn't seem to be in pain about the next work. Ye Yunhe looked at him quietly, narrowed his eyes, and slowly moved back to the bed.
Si Yu'an stretched his limbs, and with a resolute expression, he punched the air twice: "Tell me, Captain, where are we going to work next? I think I still have some strength left, so we can finish the work quickly."
"Hmm?" Unexpectedly, Lin Muyu looked up in surprise, as if she didn't understand what he said, "What's wrong, Yu'an, have you rested well?"
"Huh?"
Si Yuan was stunned and blinked in confusion.
Lin Muyu still had that gentle and reliable look on his face, showing the demeanor of a captain. He turned the screen to the other side to show it to his bewildered teammates.
Clear words appeared in Si and An's eyes:
"Sister Qing Yuan: Mu Yu, have you received the copy information and the cooperation team?"
"Sister Qing Yuan: I will be in charge of you this time, so there won't be any other mistakes! Ling Yao's team will be staying with us for a few days, so you can get used to each other and prepare for the next dungeon."
"Sister Qing Yuan: I heard that you guys are very busy these days and must be very tired. I am also very tired. So why don't we just take a day off today and postpone the meeting to tomorrow morning? You can come to my place then. How do you think?"
"Sister Qing Yuan: Don't worry, with you here, we will definitely win this small dungeon! Just go for it!"
"Muyu: Okay, then I'll trouble Sister Qingyuan. We will definitely be there on time tomorrow."
"Sister Qing Yuan: It's okay. You can come in the morning. There's no such thing as being late. How can Ling Yao feel bored when I'm here?"
"Sister Qing Yuan: Okay, I have things to do, so I won't chat for now. We can chat to our heart's content tomorrow!"
“…”
Si Yu'an read the chat history in silence, then he looked at Lin Muyu with an accusing look on his face.
Behind him, Ye Yunhe had fallen peacefully on the bed, continuing her sleep.
"Do you still want to rest? If you still have energy, helping the staff share the work is also a good way to pass the time." Reliable Captain Lin said with a smile.
In response to him, there was another sound of someone falling onto the bed, and a shoe being kicked to the bottom of the bed.
——
At the same time, on the other side.
"Xiaozhe, are you sure you want to do this at this time..." Looking at the application handed over by his trusted junior, the old man hesitated and said, "...Do you want to launch a welfare activity at this time?"
"Based on the budget and the current busyness of my work, I'm afraid it's not appropriate."
The officer stood quietly in front of his desk. Upon hearing this, he quickly replied, "How could that be? Now is the most appropriate time."
His tone was extremely firm: "It is precisely because the work these days is too busy and everyone is working non-stop that we have to hold this welfare event. When I was reviewing the documents yesterday, I found that even the colleague who delivered the documents had dark circles under his eyes. You know, he is famous for his healthy work and rest schedule."
"I can feel my colleagues' passion for work, but no matter how energetic a person is, they can't keep spinning like a top. They inevitably need something relaxing to soothe their body and mind. This can both enhance their effectiveness and make them happy. Isn't that perfect?"
The old man was hit in the face by the remark. He waved his hands dizzily, signaling the other party to speak slower.
"Then... the funding issue is not easy to solve either. You know, the research building is a money-eating beast that can never get enough. These days, there are so many applications to fly here. It's really..."
"You don't have to worry about this. I already have an idea." The officer interrupted the old man when he was about to say something and said with a smile, "The problem of funding is easy to solve. Sometimes you don't have to pay the price of money to be happy."
"All you need is for you to sign this paper and allow me to occupy a small area as an activity area."
“…Oh, I see.” The old man fell into deep thought, as if he was thinking about what a welfare activity that didn’t require any money would be like.
"So, what's the time for your event?" he asked the final question.
"Time." The officer scratched his chin and answered a little embarrassedly, "After all, it is a welfare activity that does not require much funding, and the purpose is to relax, so it will probably only take a few hours."
After saying this, he looked at the old man intently, his eyes firm, as if no matter what questions the other party asked, it would not be able to shake his determination.
“…”
After a moment, under the sincere gaze of the superior, the old man silently signed the application.
"The application is approved." She pushed the form back, "Remember to give me the plan for review."
