Chapter 62 - 61: Voluntary Resignation (Part 1)

"When did you come to East Sea City?"
"Yesterday."
"On a mission?"
"You’re thinking too much. Like you, I’m retired now."
Ling Chen, puzzled, said, "Weren’t you doing well in there? And it’s not time for you to retire yet, has the higher-up really let you go?"
"Forget it, ever since that mission went wrong, everyone’s been uneasy, especially when you left, we all felt it. Later, the higher-ups said they wanted to reform, bring in fresh blood, and recruited a lot of new members. As you know, we rarely had much to do throughout the year, and now with more people, there’s even less to do. Staying at the base doing nothing and being ostracized by the newcomers, it’s all so pointless," Tang Yuan complained.
Ling Chen couldn’t help but joke, "Come on, you’re a veteran, aren’t you afraid of being pushed around by newcomers?"
"Times have changed. Before, the higher-ups valued us, so we were in favor. Now the organization focuses on training newcomers, ignoring us. Actually, without stating it outright, everyone understands this—you’ve experienced it yourself."
