Strange Invasion 30 Business Trip to Haicheng
"Your team must capture a total of 100 strange creatures. The time limit is five hours and forty-nine minutes."
Qingyuan was pulled over to work overtime. He smiled at the five members of Gu Xi's team in front of him and said, "Not bad. I watched your video. Whether it's group coordination or individual actions, the level is up to par. The overall score is 95 points."
Zhou Qiu and the two girls showed joy in their eyes, but they remained calm and just said thank you, teacher.
Fang Mian gave himself a little encouragement.
You know, he has been very nervous.
The five people together captured a hundred monsters, but in fact they only captured nine.
Of these 9, half were given to him by Gu Xi.
Fang Mian secretly glanced at Gu Xi. Gu Xi was really motivated today. He did 38 weird things by himself.
God knows how loudly he screamed in his heart when he saw Gu Xi staggering onto a sword while choosing a means of transportation!
When they were traveling through the city in a taxi, there were always pedestrians and traffic lights blocking their way, but Gu Xi had no obstructions at a high altitude. He also guided them because he could see far and wide, which saved them a lot of time.
Gu Xi asked: "Teacher, can we be ranked in the top 300?"
Qingyuan raised his head: "You know?"
"Yeah." Gu Xi nodded: "Thank you, thank you boss for telling me a little bit."
Qingyuan said meaningfully: "Is it for him that I have reached my full potential? Today's level is far higher than before."
Gu Xi blushed.
Zhou Qiu said, "Teacher, Gu Xi is very strong. He has a solid theoretical foundation and a strong memory. He's also worked hard to catch up physically. Furthermore, he has a keen sense of awareness and always notices things we don't. He was previously accommodating us and keeping a low profile for the sake of the group. But today's performance shows his true strength."
Gu Xi tugged at Zhou Qiu's clothes, signaling him to be more modest. He was indeed in much better shape today.
Qingyuan smiled: "Okay, I really don't pay much attention to it. I hope you will have better performance in the future. So, about this opportunity——"
Under the expectant gazes of the five people, Qingyuan didn't keep them in suspense and said, "You are the seventh team to come out. Gu Xizhou Qiu's individual strength is at the top, and it's certain that they will be in the top 30. The remaining three may still have shortcomings, but the fact that they have been able to cooperate with each other to this extent in just three weeks is enough to show their excellent team spirit, which is a big plus. So, all of you are here on a business trip to Haicheng!"
"Yeah!!!" Fang Mian jumped up excitedly!
Cheng Huanying and Liang Tong rarely showed their emotions on their faces. They held each other's hands tightly, and all their words were expressed in their clenched fists.
Fang Mian grabbed Gu Xi and Zhou Qiu's arms and kept saying, "I was chosen too! I was chosen too! That's great! Woohoo, I thought I would be a drag on you..."
Qingyuan said, "Don't underestimate yourself. Everyone is very talented. Some people aren't good at capturing and dealing with strange things on the front lines, so they might be better suited to doing statistical coordination work in the rear. Find the right path, and you might be even better than your teammates."
His eyes were filled with determination: "In this school year, the meaning of our existence as teachers is to help you find your own path."
"Teacher, I..." Fang Mian's nose felt sore.
Qingyuan waved his hand: "Okay, stop crying and go back to get ready. We have to leave early tomorrow morning."
As they were talking, the next team had already passed the level.
Fang Mian was pulled away by Gu Xi and Zhou Qiu.
After walking out for a while, Fang Mian scratched his hair and asked, "Am I really that good?"
Liang Tong chuckled. "Of course, haven't you noticed? You're incredibly brave, and you're not afraid of getting dirty or tired. Our team's logistical support and atmosphere are all dependent on you!"
Fang Mian hesitated for a moment: "Actually, I'm not as good as you say..."
Cheng Huanying said, "For example, when we were catching that stinking, eye-irritating monster in the sewer, when all of us couldn't stand the stench, you were the only one who bravely stepped forward, tackled it, and fought it for over half an hour. That's how we managed to maintain our 100% monster capture rate!"
Zhou Qiu gave a thumbs up: "Well done!"
Fang Mian's cheekbones lifted at the compliment, and he quickly waved his hands modestly, saying, "No, it's all my responsibility. Thank you for giving me this weirdness."
None of the four spoke.
Fang Mian realized it belatedly and pondered for a moment: "...I don't think this is a compliment to me."
“Hahahahahahaha.”
The team dispersed with laughter, and the laughter drifted to the tree and beast forest, even causing the beating tree teacher to sway as if celebrating for them.
Early the next morning.
Quan Chengan led half of the teachers and three hundred selected people who had just awakened their spiritual powers and boarded a special plane to Haicheng.
It was Fang Mian's first time to fly a plane, and he was very nervous. He followed Zhou Qiu the whole time, moving whenever Zhou Qiu moved, and he also held Gu Xi by his side for fear that he would fall behind.
Gu Xi paused, not reminding himself that he had actually been on a plane.
Unpleasant memories from the past flooded into Gu Xi's mind. He shook his head to drive the images away.
When it was time to sit down, Gu Xi said, "You guys sit here. I want to sit with him."
Liang Tong whispered, "He should be sitting with the teachers. Wouldn't you feel uncomfortable going over there?"
Gu Xi smiled and shook his head: "No."
What could be more reassuring than sitting next to him?
Gu Xi asked everyone to take good care of Fang Mian and turned to look for Xie Yunsui.
As if by telepathy, Xie Yunsui had actually reserved a seat for him. Seeing him approach, he stood up with a smile and said, "I thought you were going to abandon me and sit with your teammates."
"Everyone says they sleep as soon as they get on the plane, but I don't want to sleep with them." Gu Xi looked at his seat: "Am I sitting by the window?"
"You can see the scenery above, if you like."
Gu Xi really liked it. After the plane entered the clouds, he looked at them for a long time.
Xie Yunsui just thought that he really liked it and did not disturb his little hobby.
-
Haicheng.
While on the move, the third group of alien management personnel received news that the captain would be landing at noon, and asked them to return to the office to gather no matter where they were.
"Who did you invite? With such a grand ceremony? Are we supposed to go back and meet them one by one?"
Qian Sanyi turned off his phone and said to Zheng Ling beside him, "I'll continue squatting. When you go back, just say I was fast asleep and didn't see the message."
Zheng Ling rolled her eyes. "The captain went back this time specifically for Xie Yunsui. He must have invited him, so he told us all to go back and recognize him. You're blatantly disrespecting him. What if he holds a grudge against you later?"
"Irritating! Who would bother going back and apologizing after failing to catch a single monster?" Qian Sanyi scoffed. "Could it be that without us flattering him, he can't lift the monster trap?"
"Stop talking." Li Shan, who was taking notes in the neighborhood they had just checked, said, "This ghost trap, the magic tea you drank, the magic talisman in your pocket—which one wasn't made by Boss Xie? It's just meeting people, saying a few nice words, and making them happy. Isn't this also for our own good?"
The reason why several people were resistant to Xie Yunsui was entirely because their previous captain also extremely hated hypocrisy in the workplace.
When they first came to Haicheng, the local leaders repeatedly invited them to dinner and tea, but all they said was nonsense. Jiang Yingqi tolerated it twice, but then decisively overturned the table.
Later, he moved out of the administrative building with the people from the third group of alien management and rented a house outside.
Jiang Yingqi also hated holding meetings, especially when the discussion lasted for a long time without getting to the point and was full of interjections. He hated it even more. So during the time he worked in Haicheng, he would assign tasks as soon as he received them, and if there were no tasks, he would arrange for training at the gym. The relationship between teammates was truly "worked" out.
However, it is impossible to rely on the alien management team alone to deal with the strange things in the past three years. It requires cooperation from many forces.
Jiang Yingqi's status is here. The Abnormal Control Bureau is in charge of major issues, and those people dare not block her. However, they often create some obstacles in small matters. As the saying goes, little devils are difficult to deal with. In order to carry out her work better, Jiang Yingqi's attitude has become much more moderate this year, and she will occasionally ask the team members to go back and perform a big show to praise her.
As long as we gather back at the office, it means we have to act.
Normally, they still have the energy to pretend to do things for the sake of a little benefit, but don’t they realize what time it is now?!
Qian Sanyi hadn't found any clues for several days and was so anxious that three blisters appeared in his mouth. Even adding cold tea to his coffee couldn't calm him down.
When they heard that the foreign aid from the Alien Management Bureau did not start work directly and asked them to go back and serve, they immediately became dissatisfied.
"Alright, we've finished checking here. We've been on standby for over twenty hours, so we should go back and rest." Li Shan closed her notebook and said to Zheng Ling, "Drive back and lock the car doors."
Qian Sanyi pulled back his hand that was holding the handlebars, and pulled his hat down to cover his face with a look of annoyance.
The area under the office building was no longer empty, and there were seven or eight buses parked there. Zheng Ling frowned as she walked forward, pulling Qian Sanyi's hat rope.
Qian Sanyi saw through the gap left by the hat and was also shocked: "What is this? How many people are here?"
Li Shan said, "Maybe it's not what we thought. Let's go in quickly."
Jiang Yingqi just came downstairs: "Those two groups are back, why are you so slow?"
Zheng Ling let go of her hand and explained, "I was finishing up an inspection of a residential complex when I received the message. I thought I'd just finish it to avoid having to make another trip."
Jiang Yingqi's eyes were full of scrutiny, but he didn't expose her directly.
"It's hard to explain in a few words on the phone. I didn't recruit you back this time to put on a show. So, calm down."
Qian Sanyi finally stood up straight from his nonchalant look, pulled down his hoodie, and revealed a serious expression.
Several people followed Jiang Yingqi forward and found that the captain walked straight past the elevator and started walking towards the cafeteria.
"Captain Jiang, aren't you going to the office?"
"Oh, the office is too small to accommodate them. Now our foreign aid can only gather in the cafeteria."
Zheng Ling stared in astonishment: "Captain Jiang, have you summoned all the spiritualists from the Abnormal Control Bureau?"
Jiang Yingqi said, "I shook the 300th student at the Spirit University."
Qian Sanyi suddenly stopped in front of Captain Jiang, incredulous. "Captain Jiang, is there no one in the Abnormal Control Bureau? What do you mean by bringing in the child soldiers? Aren't they just new students?"
Jiang Yingqi slapped his hand and walked forward.
"Child soldiers? They're elite soldiers who've received systematic training. Three weeks into school, they can identify a hundred strange creatures in six hours."
"You've been working for three years, and you only scored 59 points on the theoretical knowledge test at the end of last year!"
"Wei Ling's dog stepped on the answer sheet twice and still got 63."
Qian Sanyi: “…”
Damn, the captain cursed so filthy.
