Chapter 725: Chapter 521: On the Superiority of “Flexible Work Schedules”. _1
“This matter… isn’t really that much of a concern to .”
Xu Duojin tried to defend himself in the end, but unfortunately, people didn’t let him go because of this justification…
To be honest, just thirty minutes to escape from the island, Xu Duojin thought he ran fast enough.
But unexpectedly…
He outran the distance, but he didn’t outrun fate.
And in that brief ti, he probably only learned bits and pieces from these people about what exactly Colin had done, and what consequences it had wrought.
Although he solved the abnormality, he also wiped out a substantial amount of their land and burned down many valuable containnt warehouses…
Especially since he burned one of the most important containnt subjects here, the “Haze Angel,” to ashes and then ran away.
This…
Putting himself in their shoes, Xu Duojin felt that this matter probably wouldn’t end well.
However, to be honest, in Xu Duojin’s view, these were actually not the key points; the key was that Colin escaped without taking him along!
That was the crux of all the problems!
But, given his power and the force he represented, the group of people, though looking displeased, were relatively “civilized.”
“Take him down, give him a good beating, then contact them and let them give an explanation…” a High Order Extraordinary Powerhouse suggested expressionlessly.
However, he was stopped by another, more rational individual: “No…”
Detain him?
Didn’t they see how the adjacent island just vanished?
If they dared to detain soone today, tomorrow others might dare co over and erase them as well.
But if they didn’t detain him, after such a serious incident, they still needed an explanation, which ant that currently, to detain or not to detain was a very thorny issue.
At the scene, it was noisy and chaotic, with various statents being made around Xu Duojin…
There were those who insisted on a price being paid, on receiving compensation, and there were other local powers saying:
“I don’t care what you do, but you can’t infringe on personal rights…”
But it was at this mont that the appearance of a voice caused everyone present to hold their breath and close their mouths.
“Heh, such a lively discussion. What are you all talking about?”
An “elder” with white hair had appeared at so point, coming into the crowd with a gentle smile looking at everyone present.
But for so reason, the group that had been bubbling with fervor beca like students afraid of being called on by the teacher, all bowing their heads and not daring to make a noise.
…
“Another big problem resolved for the world…”
Colin hung up the phone with Xu Duojin, gazed at the strange ceiling, and sighed.
Unlike before, this ti he resolved a big bunch of abnormalities.
He rarely felt it, but with the decrease of these unsettling factors, that invisible pressure that pervaded the world seed to lessen noticeably…
‘However, Xu Duojin said I erased their place, but that doesn’t feel quite right. To my senses, it’s more like I applied a mosaic layer, things are still there but disconnected from reality, hmm, but in terms of the effect, indeed it’s pretty much the sa…’
Colin pursed his lips and didn’t ponder further; after all, no matter how it was handled, the issue was resolved, and there was no need to dwell on thodology.
As for the subsequent effects that occurred during the process, Colin expressed his regrets and entrusted Xu Duojin to apologize to them, hoping that they could understand.
After all, when has solving an abnormality ever been without cost?
And he had already apologized, what else did they want?
Without dwelling on these minor issues, Colin took out a parchnt and checked it.
With the completion of this ring’s mission, the next event jumped out…
The task content hadn’t changed, it was still to go soplace and deliver a “Token.”
But the execution ti was for after returning from “World Code-13” next Monday.
“…To drop a ‘Token’ into a certain ‘Blood Lake’, hmm, the seventh mission, shouldn’t be too difficult. What I should be concerned about is the ninth mission…”
Colin reflected briefly; as for him, his coming challenges would likely be the ninth, twelfth, and fifteenth rings, the rest shouldn’t require too much thought.
His only hope was that by that ti he would be given enough Points…
“Always delaying the settlent, I’m about to borrow Points to buy backup items needed for the mission.”
Colin sighed, lanting that due to the lack of “salary,” his equipnt hadn’t been updated or strengthened in a long ti.
Shaking his head, he closed the mission and prepared for his daily browsing of the internal system, but he discovered that after closing this task, another mission settlent popped up.
[Event “Containnt of the ‘Haze Angel’ has been completed.”]
[The following is the settlent for this temporary event — “Bonfire Points*2000,” “Silver Task Certificate*1,” “‘Haze Angel’ Usage Qualification (Semi-finished)*1”]
[All items have been transferred to the “Storage Room,” please check.]
…
Seeing this task settlent, Colin was startled and realized for the first ti that the previous task was not considered part of the Fifteenth Ring, but rather, was a separate independent task?
However, right after that, his attention was captured by the rewards included in it.
The Points and Mission Voucher can only be said to be better than nothing.
The key is the third one…
“‘Haze Angel’ usage qualification? Is it so kind of permission? And what does the addition of ‘semi-finished’ imply?”
Colin was sowhat puzzled. He opened the “Storage Room” but didn’t see any item inside, instead, he found a special file.
He took out the file and glanced over its content quickly.
“Placing this file together with the ‘Kindness of the Firebearer’ inside a level 3 or higher Bonfire with fusion effects will connect with the ‘Haze Angel’ and acquire the corresponding abilities…”
Scratching his head, Colin roughly understood its function.
A high-level Bonfire with fusion effects was only available in “World Code-13”.
Looks like he would have to wait until he was over there to proceed with the operation…
“It seems that I can gain many of the ‘Haze Angel’ abilities; just don’t know how well the strength of the effects have been restored. Hopefully, it’s not weakened by a third, making it too weak.”
After reading the file once more and confirming that his understanding was correct, Colin put it away.
Then, he looked up at the clock hanging on the wall.
Following this week’s delivery of the “Token” mission for the three-ring cycle, the week was almost over, and tomorrow would be “Descent Project-13″…
“This…the timing fits quite well…”
Colin fell silent for a mont.
His mission schedule was packed, neatly coinciding with his estimated completion ti.
Was this the so-called “flexible work system” exclusively designed for the “Firebearer’s Talent Program”?
There wasn’t a mont to relax…
Taking a deep breath, he asked the Little Maid to prepare so food, and then he arranged so tasks related to supplies for Qin Chuan.
This ti going to “World Code-13,” there was no need for an assault mission, just preparing so food to take over was enough.
“The situation over there has generally settled down, however…”
Colin stroked his chin, thinking about the previously blocked logic, and contemplating how to communicate this matter with Shana.
Currently, he felt that the problem should mainly lie in the distribution of Points.
That is to say, Shana’s rewards were likely less than a tenth of what she should receive.
“With the information I have, it can’t block
with the ‘logical point blocking’ thod anymore, but just to be safe, I should still make so notes and store them in the ‘Storage Room’…”
After thinking it through, Colin stood up, went to his desk, and wrote a mo.
By communicating with Shana later, he would probably be able to discover a lot…
Hmm?
Colin suddenly furrowed his brows, aware of a sowhat troubleso issue.
It seed that…
Even if he found out that there was a problem with the “branch,” there wasn’t much he could do about it, right?
No matter how strong Shana was compared to him, her authority was even lower; currently, it seed she was only an F Level…
The only right she could exercise was to refuse to execute tasks or cooperate with corresponding events.
This…
“Speaking of which, is there a way to get Shana to switch sides to join ?”
Colin pondered that even if there was a way, it would require Lady Bunny to make it happen…
But she was not easy to contact.
Another option, Lady of Thorns, had temporarily disconnected after his return, otherwise, he could have asked her if there was any way.
“Forget it, I’ll take it one step at a ti. Tomorrow, after arriving at ‘World Code-13,’ let’s see the specific situation. Yes, I’ll start by reconciling the accounts with Shana.”
Colin ended his reflection.
