Chapter 248 - 179 Team Up_2
Zheng Gong immediately said, "There’s nothing major at the moment. They came because it’s time for task handover this morning. At this time, investigators are usually assigned new tasks. However, there will be some big events happening after a while, which are still confidential, and I can’t disclose them."
"Understood," Li Yi nodded, not asking further, and continued, "I think we can also take on a task today, preferably a simpler one, just to get used to things first."
"Taking on a task today?" Zheng Gong was somewhat surprised. "Isn’t Lin Yue still recuperating in the training base hospital?"
"That’s why we should pick something simpler. Do you think we two can’t handle a task?" Li Yi asked.
"That makes sense. Fewer people means tasks for fewer people. The bureau is under a lot of pressure right now; we can’t just sit around and do nothing," Zheng Gong said.
Li Yi said, "I didn’t quite see it that way; I just want to improve. Even earning a bit more money is good. After reaching the inspiration realm, there are too many places where I’m short on cash. And you know both my parents are Silent Ones. Maybe as my position in the bureau rises, I might find a way to treat the Silent Ones."
"The situation is changing too fast now. If we don’t make an effort, it’s easy to get left behind."
"That’s true. Whether they are investigators or Cultivators, everyone has changed from before. Most used to just think about cultivating in peace, aiming for a good life, but the sudden change in the situation has given them a sense of urgency, making them want to strive harder," Zheng Gong said. "Since you’ve decided, Li Yi, I’ll go apply. Just wait for me."
Saying this, he immediately left.
After less than half an hour, Zheng Gong came back: "Done, Li Yi, let’s go. We’ll head to the operations hall; tasks are arranged there."
Li Yi nodded.
