94: Chapter 94: The First Investigation Mission Was Actually in My Own Hometown
Never did I expect that on my first day of forced employment, I would actually be put in a leadership position; this treatment is like a dream.
Chen Xing was absolutely certain he wasn't hallucinating. He looked at his work ID and could feel a mysterious force pulling at him.
That was the chip. It had already been bound to him, allowing for real-time tracking, constant contact with the Alliance, and it even had defensive capabilities.
"I'm just a greenhorn who hasn't achieved anything yet, yet I've been made a leader. Isn't there some kind of trap here?" Chen Xing's expression was strange; he felt like someone had pushed him to the forefront to take the fall.
"Does this place have a mole like the Old Dean did, and they need someone like me to balance the books?" He thought about it, but then felt it was unlikely.
Seeming to notice his concern, Lu Fei said, "You are now Commissioner Chen, belonging to the Evil Suppression Group. You only need to shoulder the heavy responsibility of exterminating the Evil Path; there is no need to worry."
Chen Xing paused and asked, "Will there be missions regularly?"
Lu Fei nodded, "Yes, but rest assured, under normal circumstances, it won't be too busy."
Chen Xing was speechless. Which company didn't say that when hiring? In his past life, he had partnered with others to open a chain of restaurants, so he knew that hardly any job wasn't busy.
Lu Fei smiled and continued, "Commissioner Chen, rest assured. Sometimes, when members of the Evil Suppression Group encounter trouble, they will apply to the higher-ups to request help from commissioners like you. As for the remuneration... it's all paid by the Alliance."
Chen Xing nodded slightly, "That's fine too."
Lu Fei added, "However, there is one thing to note. Since this is your first time on the job, you need to complete one Evil Suppression mission first, otherwise, other permissions cannot be properly enabled."
"I knew it wouldn't be that simple." Chen Xing's mouth twitched. He had just said it wouldn't be busy.
"What kind of mission?" he asked.
"That is not for me to know. I am only responsible for conveying orders. You should go back and wait for the message from the higher-ups." Lu Fei chuckled and turned to leave.
Helplessly, Chen Xing had to leave.
Once outside, various spaceships and hovercars were flying everywhere. Some people maintained a classical style, using domesticated Yao Beasts as mounts, which was particularly eye-catching.
You have to admit, this era is truly great.
Turning his head, Chen Xing saw Ye Jianxing waiting for him not far away and immediately walked over.
"You old man knew about this and didn't tell me in advance." Chen Xing said.
"I actually didn't know everything either. Tell me, what position did you get?" Ye Jianxing chuckled.
"Commissioner of the Evil Suppression Group... wait, you and I are different?" Chen Xing was surprised.
"Of course it's different. Some people, like Old Yue and me back in the day, joined the Inspection Group, specifically to investigate corruption. Otherwise, why do you think it was he and I who returned from the Domain of God to handle the Old Dean's affair? Just because of our master-student relationship?" Ye Jianxing raised an eyebrow.
"I see." Chen Xing was thoughtful.
"However, to think you actually joined the Evil Suppression Group. This is the most dangerous profession in the entire world." Ye Jianxing looked at him meaningfully.
"If it's about risking one's life against the Evil Path, it is indeed much more dangerous and not as relaxed as yours." Chen Xing nodded.
"It seems the higher-ups think highly of you and believe you have the ability to face the Evil Path. They are perhaps valuing you a bit too much." Ye Jianxing said.
"What do you mean by that tone? You're making me scared. Should I go resign right now?" Chen Xing's mouth twitched.
"It's already set, it can't be changed." Ye Jianxing shook his head slightly.
He patted his student's shoulder and said meaningfully, "Actually, I have fought against the Evil Path before, but they are all lunatics and idiots."
Hearing this, Chen Xing thought of Li Tan, that lunatic who ate his own brother and sold him to an evil cult. It was enough to see just how perverted this group of people was, so he agreed.
Ye Jianxing said, "You must remember my words. Within the Evil Path, although there is a tiny, minuscule possibility that someone is innocent, I advise you not to hold such thoughts. If you can kill them, then kill them."
Chen Xing nodded, taking it for granted, "Since they have embarked on this path, regardless of any grievances they had in the past, they are all outlaws."
Ye Jianxing smiled, "It's good that you understand. Never be soft-hearted because of their tragic pasts; that will only harm yourself."
Chen Xing said, "I understand. When these people commit evil, it's very easy to create new Evil Path followers, so what happened in the past has nothing to do with me."
"Good, I'm relieved that you have this realization. Come, I'll take you for a drink."
"What kind of drink? Didn't the Dean dig up all the old wine you buried in your courtyard?"
"What?!"
"..."
After returning and cultivating for several days, Chen Xing finally received an assigned mission from the higher-ups.
It is worth mentioning that commissioners of the Evil Suppression Group have new Optical Computer equipment, which can only be used for work.
"Please confirm your code name." During registration, a pseudonym was required. It wasn't about completely hiding one's identity, just for the sake of address during work.
"A code name... isn't that just like a game name? I'll just pick a random one." Chen Xing pondered.
After thinking about cool names for a long time, he suddenly discovered that his cultivated Battle Technique seemed to have something to do with a Dragon.
"Let's just call it [Dragon Qi]."
"Registration successful. You have new mail, please check it."
"..."
"Traces of the Evil Path have appeared on Blue Star. There is a suspected private connection and development between Family enterprises. Commissioner Chen Xing, please cooperate with other commissioners to launch an investigation."
"Note: During the mission, you must not use your private Interstellar Train. Please rendezvous and cooperate with another commissioner. The contact information is..."
"Blue Star? Is that the one I know?" Chen Xing opened the remaining data and found detailed coordinates and pictures.
Comparing them, good heavens, it really was the hometown of this life—Blue Star.
"The first mission is to go back to my hometown to investigate. Why do I feel like the higher-ups are testing whether I am loyal enough to the Human Race?" Chen Xing's expression was strange.
"Forget it, let's go back then. It's a good chance to see how my hometown has developed."
Every planet that can produce an A-Rank Esper will receive commendations from the Alliance. Blue Star even has an S-class; that kind of feedback is absolutely huge.
However, not being able to use his private Interstellar Train is a bit painful.
It only takes three days for Chen Xing's Interstellar Train to travel from the Academy to Blue Star, but if it were a normal train, crossing such a long distance would take a long time.
"Just buy an expensive one. Anyway, the mission didn't say I couldn't." Thinking of this, Chen Xing ordered the most expensive train ticket online.
After buying the ticket, Chen Xing added the other commissioner according to the contact information provided above.
"Where is the Academy's station again?" Having ridden his private Interstellar Train for so long, this was the first time Chen Xing was taking a public one.
Following the map, he finally found the station of the Tianhe Academy.
Chen Xing was wearing a trench coat, which was a Magical Artifact. It could change his appearance and hide his aura; after all, the mission was to gather intelligence.
He was so famous now, it would be easy to be recognized.
"Ding!"
On the train, after Chen Xing sat down in his compartment, the commissioner on the other end accepted the request.
