Chapter 108 - 108 91 Designation

108: Chapter 91: Designation 108: Chapter 91: Designation “Why don’t you agree with my application, Meow!?” As soon as Lu Ping’an arrived at the police station, he was greeted by an angry cat puffing up its face. “…Don’t you have any sense?” This morning when receiving dividends, Lu Ping’an was dumbfounded to find that there was not a single point of exercise experience, scattered memories of playing around, and a celebratory ceremony where the cat threw down desks and school bags from the teaching building. Instantly, Meow’s spirit wilted, and when it raised its head again, it wore a pitiful look, with glistening teardrops in its eyes. “…Can’t you be less realistic? I’ll make up for the BUFF money, aren’t we friends, Meow?” Alright, the cat understood in that direction, but if it wanted to fake cry, it would be more realistic to put away the mineral water bottle in its hand. Reminded by Meow, Lu Ping’an calculated and finally noticed that the guy had already been in arrears. With nothing else to say, the ruthless Lu Ping’an chuckled and turned a blind eye to the fake crying Meow. In fact, Meow didn’t care too much about it, otherwise it wouldn’t be so easy to deal with. Just having finished the exam, she was in an ultra-lazy state. Forget about training and improving, it would be good enough not to regress from playing too much. “Why are you here today? Are you also coming here for an internship?” “Internship? No, I’m here for a meal, Meow. My brother said I could have half of the cafeteria set meal, Meow.” Lu Ping’an’s expression became more subtle, as the topic made people feel that Meow was moving further and further away from the human bottom line. “No more nonsense, I haven’t had breakfast yet, I’m starving, Meow. See you later.” With that, Meow hurriedly ran towards the cafeteria, intending to settle both breakfast and lunch in one go. Meanwhile, Lu Ping’an quickly went upstairs and found the familiar office. “Huh, there’s someone?” Seeing that there were guests inside, Lu Ping’an didn’t rush in but waited in the corridor. It didn’t take long for several people to emerge from the room, and Lu Ping’an saw familiar badges on their chests…. “Seems familiar, Green New Pharmaceuticals?” Lu Ping’an had seen the praying maiden’s badge in the Secret Realm several times before. “No, the white background, they’re from the Church. Lin Nu’s church. You can tell by the white bird next to the praying girl and the lake on the ground. They are the Holy Spring Rebirth branch Church. Anyway, don’t explain it, just think of them as a moderate faction, considered moderate within their ranks.” Perhaps feeling a little guilty or uneasy, Big Cat had become much more active these past two days. But recognizing their specific faction branch just from a single badge, is it true that the one who knows you best is always your enemy? “Are they reinforcements?” “Probably here for my follow-up. Be careful, they’re in the same league as my believers, all a bunch of vultures.” Now, Lu Ping’an understood instantly. He smiled and nodded to the guests who were coming out, and as they were about to brush past Lu Ping’an, he took the opportunity to memorize the faces of the other party. Unlike traditional churchmen, all three of them wore suits and ties, their high-end suits giving them the demeanor of accomplished people of this era. There was no way to tell their true nature from their appearances alone; a middle-aged man with white eyebrows and hair led the way, followed by an overweight man who exceeded the standard height and weight, and the last one was an ordinary woman in her thirties. From their age and the feeling they gave Lu Ping’an, all three of them were powerful. “Don’t look at them with malice… The one in the middle is ‘Rose’ Liu Zibei, a sixth-tier.” Now, Lu Ping’an’s smile became even more sincere. The middle-aged “bishop” on the other side also smiled amicably and nodded to the young man before passing by directly. As for the weary Xia Qin who escorted the guests out, she gave Lu Ping’an a complicated emotional glance at the back of the guests before pulling him into the office. After she sat down and gulped some water, she slowly regained her strength. “…Stay away from them, they’re dangerous.” This, probably, was the real friendly advice from one’s own people. Lu Ping’an greeted Old Ke in the office, and in the empty room with more than a dozen workstations, there were now only three people, plus another who had gone to eat… or rather, to be a meal card for his sister. “Here, this is the information on reinforcements. The red circles are the ones we currently value, the black circles are the ones we want but are basically impossible to grab, and the ones with crosses are already taken away by others. You can watch the ‘Nomination System’ on the computer, which is updated every night at a fixed time. Help me take a look as well.” In a sense, Lu Ping’an was also considered a member of the future Special Service Team Three, and needed to think about his future partner. The “Recruitment System” that Ancient City University brought out was not a temporary product, but a “Nomination System” used every year for sophomores and juniors to intern. After becoming familiar with it, Lu Ping’an knew how to use this system. “Let me see, fuck, there is me! And a photo… Luckily, I don’t have a title.” Lu Ping’an wiped his sweat. Given the new chat room, he was now the “Tentacle King” with an unbeatable reputation. If that really became his official title, his life would be ruined. “The official titles recognized by the Administration Bureau can be entered into the profile and can be recorded. Basically, anyone with a title has double-digit nominations.” Under the photos and information of each second-year and freshman intern posted, there’s a string of “nominations” or applications. In the past, these nominations would be for various firms, companies, and private agencies. But now, there are 117 units such as Special Service Team, Police Special Branch, and Administration Bureau Team seeking the interns. The interns were posted with their public basic abilities and honors. Then, the internship units would send out nomination invitations based on the situation. Of course, “internship conditions” would also be left behind. If the intern is okay with the conditions, both parties would directly contact, and everything would be settled. One day of nominations would be completed, and the taken interns would be removed at night. The process would continue for another day, and it would end after four or five days at most. “This time, there are only second-years and a hundred freshmen interns (three have given up, and the candidates are in order), but almost a hundred units are grabbing them, which is a bit overwhelming.” Lu Ping’an refreshed the page. The automatic ranking was in order of nomination numbers, with the masters nominated by more units ranking in the top. The top ten have 30 to 40 nomination requests, which is the result of each unit having only 10 nomination applications. “Huh? Am I there too? Number thirty-seven?” Lu Ping’an was stunned, not because he thought it was too low, but… “Am I really that valuable?” The top people on the list were basically second-year students with titles or a group of first-tier students taking part in the “gilding process”. Being in the top forty and even surpassing several third-tier students was already outrageous. He counted 24 units applying for him, which was a bit exaggerated. “You’re logistics, a healer type ability that every team lacks. You see, there’s a 2-tier Healer in the top three. You also have some practical self-protection ability, so even with just a first-tier, you won’t be worried about dragging you down.” Xia Qin understood very well and was also very happy. She found a valuable person, but it would be even better if Lu Ping’an were a healer. This time, there weren’t many interns with healing and logistics abilities. These people were not only rare but also didn’t need much practical combat experience. Instead, they needed more time in laboratories and libraries. However, the flip side of not needing personal battlefield experience was that they were needed on the battlefield. Logistics personnel, especially those with healing abilities, were always in short supply. Lu Ping’an understood that his high rank had little to do with his actual combat ability, and no one would think they had too many medics. Healing professions, like great pastors or teammates’ mothers, were always revered. Lu Ping’an shook his head helplessly and continued to scroll down. “Huh? There’s a Title Holder, but they’ve fallen to the last page? Zero nominations?” Lu Ping’an took a look and found it was an old acquaintance, Disaster Fist Xue En. Given the time, the second-year student from Ancient City University was already at the point of internship (acting as a reinforcement). However, having a title and still getting no nominations was really due to the drag of the nickname “Disaster Fist”, and his first-tier personal strength wasn’t that big of a deal. “How is he? I’ve had contact with Brother Xue En before, and he gave me special training before the exam. I feel like he’s a good person, is it because he’s just first-tier?” Xia Qin shook her head. “No, it’s because he’s Old-turtle Xue’s nephew. His uncle is too famous, and he’s more than likely got the same kind of inheritance talent, so he’s a little Old-turtle. He’s just first-tier, so the side effects of his Talent Abilities wouldn’t be too terrifying… it might be worth a try. We’re short on people, and we don’t have very good recruitment conditions to attract experts. What is his actual combat ability like?” Lu Ping’an recalled that as a close combat system main, Disaster Fist Xue En’s evaluation was obviously constrained by his first-tier status, and he didn’t have the chance to show off. “For a close-combat system like his, he’s probably weaker than Wang Hai and Hua Xueyi in fighting rings. But if it were an unrestricted deathmatch, I personally think only Brother Xue En would survive.” This was something Lu Ping’an was sure of. Wang Hai and Hua Xueyi were strong, but they were still just excellent students. As for Xue En… he was a very, very dangerous man-eating beast. “Then that’s pretty good. You can give him a try and consider picking up a leak.” So, Lu Ping’an clicked on it, Xue En’s nomination count increased by one, and today’s first target was secured. But this was just the beginning. Here, he wasn’t just casually clicking. He had a list of high-quality leeks ready to harvest. “Prioritize Gardeners, Scholars, and Soldiers from the three paths and ignore low-level Runners.” As for whether he’s leaving positions and investment opportunities for Meow, even he himself wouldn’t necessarily know.
