Chapter 52: Response! Headquarters Personnel Arrive
Three days later, you are sitting silently on a protruding rock by the sea, fishing leisurely. Unfortunately, you have yet to catch a single fish.
You suspect the fish in this sea are simply too clever, never once considering that you have no bait on your hook.
Just as you are about to give up, your subordinate, Hedgehog Man, suddenly appears at your side to report a matter. You remain noncommittal, not even turning your head. He, however, is not only unfazed but seems to find it normal.
Hedgehog Man brings you bad news. A communication has arrived from Blood Beast Ban Headquarters, ordering Major General Hu to bring you back immediately.
When Wild Boar Man and Hyena Man appear behind Hedgehog Man, you know that Major General Hu can no longer wait. Glancing at the fishing rod in your hand, you are struck by a sudden inspiration.
You hand the fishing rod to the three simpletons. You tell them that this area is full of fish and that you want to test their reflexes. They can only return after they have caught one hundred fish.
What a petty, cruel little game.
Chen Pingchuan was scornful of his divine self’s behavior. It was clearly his own lack of common sense that prevented him from catching any fish, yet he refused to reflect on his own failings. Instead, he simply waved his hand, dumping the problem on others and even adding a new task for them. It was just like the typical big bosses from his previous life: all the credit was theirs, while their subordinates did all the grueling work. They would exhaust themselves, and he would just swoop in to reap the rewards.
Shameless.
You walk briskly back to the assembly hall. Seeing Major General Hu sitting in the deputy’s seat with a worried expression, you feel a flicker of guilt. Of course, this feeling lasts only for a moment before vanishing without a trace.
