The next morning at eight o'clock, Chen Chuan changed into a formal suit and came to the administrative office building with his advisor, Cheng Zitong .

Similar to the Weapon Permit application, there were seven reviewers present, seated behind a long table.

After verifying his identity and filling out the form, one of the reviewers, an elegant lady in her thirties with light makeup, sized him up for a moment and said in a very kind tone:

"Chen student, we have checked your Data. You have completed more than one mission in the national conscription, and each Evaluation was top-notch. You are a very excellent student . Now that you are a Wuyi second-year student , I wonder if you have considered internship opportunities?"

Chen Chuan replied, "Of course I have."

The reviewer asked with a smile, "Oh? May I ask what Chen student is thinking?" As she spoke, the expressions of the others also began to take notice.

Chen Chuan thought to himself that his idea was of course to go to Central City, which had nothing to do with you all, but it didn't seem right to say it so bluntly? So he said very modestly: "Perhaps I should go to some Commission Company for a transition first, or maybe go to a government agency to learn from my seniors for a while."

The reviewer's eyes lit up, and she said in a more eager tone: "Then Chen student, I wonder what you think of our Finance Bureau? We have very generous benefits, and we very much need outstanding talents like Chen Chuan to contribute to our security guard force."

Another Review Committee member then spoke: "Our Communications Bureau is also optimistic about Chen Chuan . I wonder if Chen Chuan is interested in coming here? After all, we have always been lacking in security guard personnel and urgently need strong reinforcements. As long as Chen Chuan is willing to come, we can give you the best treatment."

He glanced at the lady and coughed, "Although it can't compare to the Finance Bureau, we can offer more benefits and conveniences in other areas."

As soon as he spoke, the other review committee members also began to speak, all wanting to invite Chen Chuan to intern in their departments.

Cheng Zitong understood what was happening. These people or the institutions behind them were optimistic about Chen Chuan and wanted to bring Chen Chuan into their departments.

Anyone could see that a student like Chen Chuan with an Unlimited Self-Defense Permit and who had participated in national conscription with unlimited potential would have a great future no matter which department they entered, and might even rise to high positions in the future.

If such a talent could be brought into their department, even without considering the substantial benefits, it would greatly add glory to their department.

Even if Chen Chuan left their department in the future, with such a friendship, the two sides could still talk to each other.

At this time, Cheng Zitong took the initiative to step forward and speak for Chen Chuan : "Reviewers, I have already made arrangements for my student. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

The reviewers looked at Cheng Zitong with some dissatisfaction. Cheng Zitong also looked back. They were not from the same department, and his level was not lower than anyone present, so he was not afraid at all. Besides, his student was going to Central City next, and there was no need to get involved in other things, as that would only distract his mind and energy.

The review department members were also helpless. After all, this was Chen Chuan "s advisor . Before graduation, they really couldn't get around it if he said he had arrangements for his student .

After a hasty questioning, the review committee issued the Armor Permit.

This was also a jade tablet-like thing, but it was generally black. Although it was thin, it felt very heavy. There were wisps of white cloud-like patterns on the surface, vaguely forming the shape of a large shield. Chen Chuan "s name and card number were also engraved on it in ancient seal script.

With the Armor Permit in hand, the matter was over. Cheng Zitong didn't bother with the committee's pleasantries and took Chen Chuan directly out. Once outside, he said, "Little Chuan , it seems they are all very optimistic about you."

Chen Chuan said, "Only when the student is strong enough will they be optimistic about the student, but the student feels that he is not strong enough yet."

Cheng Zitong said, "Yes, Little Chuan , it's good that you can see this clearly. With strength and status, you don't need to look for others; others will come to befriend you. Just firmly set your target and move forward without hesitation."

Chen Chuan nodded.

"Well, now you have both the weapon and armor permits. You already have the Martial Halberd Spear. Does the teacher need to get you another piece of protective gear?"

Chen Chuan said, "Thank you, teacher . The action team gave me one when I was doing the national conscription, and it's still usable."

Although the Armor Permit is theoretically more difficult to obtain than the Weapon Permit, anyone can use it without any threshold, because no one knows that this thing is worn inside. The key is the source of this protective gear. Only with a permit can it be used openly without fear of being investigated.

Cheng Zitong said, "That's good." He paused and then said, "Speaking of internships, it's up to you whether you go or not. You don't need this experience anymore, but teacher wants to remind you that you need to find a way to make more money next.

Central City is a place where there are too many places to spend money. Try to save as much as possible before you go, otherwise you may have to spend a lot of time on how to make money, and you will have very little time to train."

Chen Chuan nodded. He also knew that in Central City, probably no amount of money would be enough, so he would save as much as he could now.

It seems that commissions still have to be done. Whether it's from the Secret Cult Investigation Bureau, the Patrol Bureau, or the Supernatural Entity category, anything that can be done can be done. While accumulating wealth, you can also accumulate Merge time to make more preparations before going to Central City.

After separating from Cheng Zitong in front of the administrative building, he returned to his dormitory. Before he even reached the corridor, he heard the voices of Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan from afar.

"I heard that the north is preparing to build a railway to connect Hangu City in the north with our Yangzhi City by land. However, the area in the north, where Molan Company was annihilated, has all turned red.

It is said that this thing was originally a drug used for health and beauty. It was Molan Company's most core drug. After re-refining it, it also has effects, so many people have been buying it recently. It is said that one hundred pounds can be sold for one yuan. One hundred pounds of soil can be sold for one yuan. That is a very profitable business! I want to go."

Luo Kaiyuan said, "I don't believe it. If there were such a good thing, why didn't the government people shovel these lands away before and leave them for others? Even if it is really some kind of drug, it is useless after burning."

Feng Xiaoqi said, "Since there is such a rumor, there is always some truth to it. What if it is useful? Besides, that is the place where Molan Company was destroyed. Isn't it worth a visit?"

Luo Kaiyuan was a little tempted after hearing this. At this time, the two of them saw Chen Chuan walking over, so they greeted him.

Feng Xiaoqi said to Chen Chuan , "Chen student, we were just talking about going to the place where Melan was annihilated. Do you have any interest in going there to take a look together?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "If I have time, I will go and take a look, as a memorial."

The place where Molan Company was finally destroyed, of course, had to be "visited." He didn't go to Zhang Mountain before because it was the direction of the old house, and he was afraid of encountering any danger. Now that he has been there, of course, there is nothing to worry about.

Feng Xiaoqi said happily, "Then let's go together on Holiday day. Maybe we can shovel two pounds of soil back and sell it for some money."

After the three of them agreed, they went to train.

In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. On the Holiday day in the middle of the month, Chen Chuan and the three of them rode their bicycles towards Zhang Mountain. They originally planned to call Wei Dong and Wu Han together, but Wei Dong went on a mission with Wu Han , and they didn't know how long they would be back, so they gave up.

However, they found that the closer they got to Zhang Mountain, the more people there were on the road. It seemed that many people had the same idea as them, and of course, it was more likely that they were going for the red soil.

When they arrived at the foot of the mountain, they found that there was actually a parking place here. When they asked, they found out that it was set up by the Iron Chain Gang. The three of them were very relieved to park their bicycles here. Such a large gang as the Chain Gang would not swindle them out of a few bicycles, and thieves would not dare to steal things from the Iron Chain Gang.

The three of them easily climbed the slope along the mountain road, passed through the flat passage full of fortress fortifications, and came to the back. Here, the mountains gradually receded, and the view was very wide. Feng Xiaoqi pointed downwards and said excitedly, "Look, it's there."

Chen Chuan and Luo Kaiyuan looked down together. What they saw was a bright blood-red color, as if a large piece of land had been stained with blood. Many people were bowing their heads and shoveling soil there. After filling a bag, they happily went to a scale on the side to exchange for money. It seemed that someone was specially collecting it.

But no matter how they shoveled, the bottom was red.

"I told you this thing can be sold for money, right? Look, so many people are shoveling soil." Feng Xiaoqi was very excited. He also picked up the camera hanging around his neck, "I have to take a few pictures."

While he was taking pictures there, Chen Chuan stood there, looking at Second Self . He saw that there was a slight fading on it, although it felt very weak, and you might ignore it if you weren't careful.

And this color...

He stared at the open space below and suddenly thought of the blood bead-like thing he and Ren Xiaotian collected near Jiao Mountain when they first went to the wasteland to do a commission.

It seemed that someone was also buying that thing.

After looking at it a few times, he, Luo Kaiyuan , and Feng Xiaoqi walked down the slope. In fact, it didn't feel very good when they got there. There were people digging soil everywhere, making the surroundings full of dirt and dust. In addition, the sand and dust on the wasteland was also heavy, so it was really not a place to stay for a long time, so the three of them turned around for a while and went back.

Although Feng Xiaoqi said he wanted to shovel soil, he didn't really do it.

On the way back from Zhang Mountain, Chen Chuan was still thinking about the red color he said, and also thought of the destruction of Molan Company... Molan Company, red...

He suddenly thought of something, made an excuse that the Company had something to do, and separated from Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan on the way. He rode his bicycle to the location of the original MelanBuilding in the city center.

He parked his bicycle first, then walked into the nearby river channel, carefully checked the two embankments and the bottom for a while, and found extremely subtle and difficult-to-distinguish red marks there. This trace was very long.

He swam along the river channel and chased after it, all the way to the White River in the south of the city, and found that these had not been cut off, and continued to extend forward, not knowing where they were going.

When he got here, he didn't continue, but returned to the shore. As soon as he came out, wisps of white steam rose from his body. Just as he walked into a phone booth, his clothes had already dried.

He picked up the microphone, dialed a number, and after waiting for a while, the other side answered, "Bureau Chief Lei ? I am Chen Chuan . I seem to know what that person wants to do."
