Chapter 55: Chapter 55: Happy Little September
Leaving the aftermath to the company was beneficial, at least they didn’t need to go to the police station overnight and explain to the officers why they had wrecked the rooftop of the Congyun Hotel.
Fu Ling didn’t bring it up, and Duan Mingyuan didn’t volunteer any information about Mrs. Bai Gu either.
For the sake of the newcomers’ growth, the day after he returned home, he sent them Mrs. Bai Gu’s abilities in the form of a Six-Dimensional Chart.
The efficiency of Universe Company was as high as ever.
After Qian Yun ran away, the company took over the hotel the next day. The plan was to demolish the old mansion of Congyun Hotel and build a commercial center. With that, the Qian Family’s troubles that lasted generations were conclusively drawn to a close. Despite the dissatisfaction expressed by supernatural enthusiasts online, their voices were too weak to stir up any waves of protest.
As for that high-ranking executive in the company high above, he could finally rest easy.
"Extraterrestrials are a bunch of bad news!"
Early that morning, Jiuyue declared her opinion after reading the news, holding a sandwich with egg and toast in her hand.
Duan Mingyuan found that whenever the topic involved Extraterrestrials, the little fox showed great aggression. According to her, the arrival of the Extraterrestrials destroyed the naturally friendly environment, causing the villagers to stop believing in the existence of Auspicious Foxes, and their species had no choice but to move back into the seclusion of deep mountains and forests.
"Why don’t you stay at home when we go on assignments?"
Duan Mingyuan looked up at Jiuyue.
He was very professional and, though he harbored no good feelings towards the Extraterrestrials, he definitely wouldn’t spout nonsense in front of his employer.
But Jiuyue was always frank and seemed to develop a hidden attribute of sassiness once she became familiar.
"No need, work is work, life is life, I can keep them separate,"
Jiuyue responded gleefully.
She had been in a good mood ever since they returned from the Congyun Hotel.
Mr. Mingyuan also had issues with the Extraterrestrials; what could be more delightful in the world than that?
Humming a tune, wagging her tail, she barely stopped herself from saying in front of him, "Mr. Mingyuan, you wouldn’t want others to know you’ve killed an Extraterrestrial, would you?"
Duan Mingyuan closed his notebook, which contained his latest evaluation of comrades Yang Ping and Tang Qianqian.
After the battle at Congyun Hotel, Yang Ping’s Life Energy had reached an astonishing 12, and just as he had predicted, he had begun to explore the edges of his Ability.
The activation condition was solving problems: using scattered clues to predict the imminent doom that was bound to happen at a future point in time.
It was all very fitting for a high school student from Yunlong City No.1 Middle School, still having to solve problems even when using his Ability.
As for Comrade Tang Qianqian, while her Life Energy remained at 2, she proved she was not a useless Adou, displaying a flexible mind at critical moments.
From a learning perspective, she might be the type whose grades aren’t great now, but who would suddenly improve dramatically once she caught on.
Then there was the significant insight brought by Mrs. Bai Gu and Qian Yun in the academic field.
Abilities had no direct correlation with malevolent forms; with proper methods, humans could also possess these potentials, and at a certain stage, even pass them on through some means.
The loss of these methods was very likely related to the Extraterrestrials.
Hence, Fu Ling’s position became particularly delicate.
The focus of the Life Science Department’s research was to unearth these lost pieces of knowledge, which was clearly at odds with the company’s strategy.
Based on his four years of working experience, if the higher-ups had given explicit instructions, not even a hundred times the courage would allow a department head to contradict them.
Therefore, Duan Mingyuan considered another possibility.
For instance, using this as an excuse to gather all the remnants with such knowledge together, to eliminate them all at once.
The recent increase in malevolent activities was not a good sign for Universe Company; the very things they had striven to suppress were showing signs of resurgence.
Duan Mingyuan massaged his forehead, having been sitting in front of the coffee table all morning.
Beside his notebook lay the "Yang Ping Full-Employee Promotion Assessment Standards (Trial)
