"My job can be simply summarized as stepping in with special transportation to extinguish fires whenever the woodcutters can't do their job and the enemy continues to resist stubbornly..."
Realizing there was a subtle misunderstanding about her job from Master Fuli, Professor Wu chuckled and began to give a brief introduction of her duties as an "expert".
Li Wenkang referred to Professor Wu as a beast taming master, summarizing her past duties.
Tasks that require summoning Professor Wu generally only have two possible outcomes.
One possibility is the beast submitting.
The other is Professor Wu dismembering the beast.
The titles like "beast taming master" and "founder of the religious thesis 'God's Whip'" articulated by Li Wenkang are essentially psychological shadows Professor Wu casts on her enemies during confrontations.
Professor Wu was born in an era of scarce resources, and it was in a small mountain village.
As a child, Professor Wu, besides studying, had to pioneer land and join the hunter team to combat tiger plagues or wolf threats; she was a native Hunter.
Her opportunity to join the Security Bureau originated from a sudden tiger plague in her village.
While setting traps for wild boar, she was attacked by a juvenile spiritually transformed tiger. Paying the price of her hunting dogs being annihilated and herself being severely wounded, she used the boar trap and a machete to literally dismember the tiger.
The terminal tiger meat dinner led the fourteen-year-old Professor Wu in another direction.
Once, during an introduction of Professor Wu, Li Wenkang told Master Fuli something.
Professor Wu's work leans towards a sporty style, whereas his work leans towards a business style.
The fact that Li Wenkang, despite often being present on the frontline, would say his work leans towards business markedly shows how sporty Professor Wu's work environment typically is.
Untamable beasts.
Have already been boiled by "Hunters", recycled into fertile soil to nourish Spiritual Particle Plants.
"I'm not particularly skilled in liberal arts, but I'm very adept at ambush and encounter battles, so don't worry about me; I also manage Wang Ya professor's safety." Professor Wu cheerfully told Master Fuli:
"In the event of unforeseen incidents, Master Fuli, please prioritize your safety and act freely."
After introducing herself to Master Fuli, he looked at Professor Wu in utter amazement.
However, Miyel had a face drained of color, trying hard to maintain her expression but inevitably breaking a little.
Whatever Professor Wu said, Miyel forgot, but the only sentence remembered was: "Even though I have high academic credentials and diplomas, they were achieved by rote memorization for workplace exams and evaluations; the only thing I'm really good at is hunting and dismembering."
"They are all bad habits I developed as a former hunter....."
"The biggest joy of childhood was hunting down large prey, carving it with a small knife, and selling it at the big market."
Miyel vividly recalls that Professor Wu's repair toolbox indeed had a black machete inside.
".....Surrender cuts losses in half, the upcoming exams are irrelevant to me." Miyel displayed a relieved expression, muttering secretly in her heart.
Classical Chinese exams, one hour per session.
Professor Wu was very clear that if after the twenty-four mock exams, none of the three can achieve a passing grade, she won't show any leniency.
Miyel seemed to understand why the Golden Eagle was fervently studying Classical Chinese.
Because...
Failure to pass exams truly can lead to getting chopped up, yet that guy didn't reveal this to Miyel and the Beetle.
Clearly with the mindset that outrunning your teammate equates to winning.
…
"No offense, no offense, it was I, Ansheng, who overthought, mistaking the professor for a Druid who converts through speech...."
Master Fuli, recovering from his amazement, promptly acknowledged his lack of insight, apologized to Professor Wu, and then showed a proud and confident expression:
"Since.... "
"There are no weaknesses in our team, why are we still sitting here?"
"We should go on the offensive!"
Initially, Ansheng assumed that Old Li had arranged Professor Wu onto the team due to the professor's unique beast taming skills, possibly to tame the creatures at the site.
However, as the conversation unfolded, Ansheng felt regretful about his shallow understanding.
In the team.
Professor Wu is capable in combat, and although Wang Ya lost the relic gem on the back of her hand, her strength hasn't diminished, only the efficiency in spiritual particle conversion is lost.
However, the Spirit Particle Potion has effectively compensated for Wang Ya's short-lasting capacity issues.
Miyel...this fellow is also competent in battle, everyone in the team, from tallest to shortest, is battle-capable.
With such a setup, Ansheng simply couldn't come up with a reason not to go on the offensive.
"Going on the offensive.....for what?" Professor Wu displayed a doubtful expression: "Our mission....."
"To oversee the operation!"
Master Fuli stated matter-of-factly, "Can't you see everyone at the excavation site is slacking off?"
"I'll go over there and give them a hundred draw punches, thoroughly urging them to work harder, otherwise, how could they know that I, Master Fuli, am pressed for time?"
At the excavation site, the rumble of machinery is evident, yet by the machinery stand some foreign workers in gear, not partaking in any actual labor, pointing fingers throughout.
Meanwhile, in the peripheral area, some from management had unfolded chairs and sat there for tea breaks, casually chatting away.
There are around four to five hundred people at the vast construction site, yet only a hundred or so are truly working.
Previously, Unos mentioned that something in the ruins might be awakening, necessitating full effort in excavation to prevent its emergence, sidestepping complications.
Master Fuli arrived at the scene.
Indeed he saw something within, absorbing the external spiritual particle haze.
But the excavation site seemed rife with slackers.
"Miyel!"
Master Fuli looked back toward the mushroom spirit wiping cold sweat, querying: "I recall the other night when battling you, you could enhance the beast warriors under your command via bioelectric amplification, right?"
"Ye...yes, through bioelectric currents, I can act directly on the neural hub, blocking pain perception, enhancing positive biological moods and excitement levels; I can even function as an aphrodisiac."
Quickly responding, Miyel articulated what contributions he could provide for the team.
"Follow me."
"If things don't pan out, tonight I'll purchase a free-range chicken and stew you into mushroom soup."
Master Fuli beckoned, indicating Miyel to keep pace with him.
During their conversation, a jet-black cloud layer gathered above, letting loose with a rainstorm.
Miyel noted the cloud's drift direction, guessing this thunderstorm may have been summoned by the artillery battalion he previously ordered, purposed for crafting the battlefield.
Drizzling rain cascaded onto the parched land, splattering water droplets upwards.
"Allow me, Master Fuli!"
"I'm new here, grueling tasks shouldn't need Master Fuli's intervention, pass them to me!"
Seeing the rain start, Miyel promptly tried to stake his claim with a pledge bond, signaling a break with past associates.
