Chapter 79: Chapter 78 Trivial Matters and Welfare Housing [Subscription Request (10/10)]
“Sure thing, Director Tian,” Mu Rufeng stood up and saw Director Tian out of the room.
Mu Rufeng closed the door, stripped off his clothes, and was left in just his underwear.
Then, he began to exercise within the room.
Before, he never exercised because his daily intense workload of unloading cargo was the best form of training.
Now that he had become a dungeon player, he certainly couldn’t slack off.
Mu Rufeng bent over and started doing push-ups.
After pumping out a hundred in one go, Mu Rufeng stood up, feeling slightly amazed.
“The enhancement of Constitution and strength really makes a difference, a hundred push-ups felt so effortless to complete.”
“This feeling is fantastic!” A smile spread across Mu Rufeng’s face.
An hour later, a sweaty Mu Rufeng finished his workout.
After a short rest, waiting for the sweat stains on his body to dry, Mu Rufeng then headed to the bathroom for a shower.
Feeling incredibly thirsty, he grabbed the water bottle from the table and poured it directly into his mouth.
It took half a bottle before Mu Rufeng felt truly refreshed.
“Knock, knock, knock!” The knocking sound rang out again.
“Mu Rufeng, it’s Zhou Wen, are you in there?” Zhou Wen’s voice came from outside the door.
“Captain Zhou, I’m here, just give me a moment to put on some clothes,” Mu Rufeng hurriedly responded, then put his clothes back on.
Upon opening the door, he saw Zhou Wen, Cheng Youlin, and Qu Lianhong.
“Eh, Captain Zhou, the three of you, why such dark circles under your eyes?” Mu Rufeng exclaimed in surprise.
“Ugh, don’t even mention it, we didn’t sleep all night, just finished up not long ago,” Cheng Youlin said.
“Xiao Mu, I heard from Xiaoyi that you passed ten stages? And got a one thousand percent completion rate? Is that true?” Qu Lianhong asked.
“Of course, it’s true, how could it be false?”
“Do you want me to go over it again with you?” Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
Qu Lianhong was about to nod when Zhou Wen interrupted, “Actually, we’ve already heard the story from Qian Xiaoyi several times, no need to repeat it.”
“I mainly came over to ask about the abilities of your Contract Demon, what level is it?”
“Of course, if you don’t want to say, it’s okay too, we won’t pry. It’s just routine to ask.”
Some Contractors would hide the abilities of their Contract Demons. Doing so could create a sense of mystery and discourage other Contractors from attacking them heedlessly.
Hence, the relevant departments wouldn’t forcefully inquire about your abilities.
Of course, whether or not you choose to reveal, the departments would still ask as a matter of routine—it doesn’t really matter whether you answer.
Hearing this, Mu Rufeng replied with a smile, “My Contract is with a Level 2 Deceit Baby, which is immune to third-level or lower Spiritual Pollution and has the ability for short-distance Instantaneous Movement.”
Mu Rufeng wasn’t concerned about revealing his abilities, so he shared them openly.
“Immunity to third-level or lower Spiritual Pollution?”
“Short-distance Instantaneous Movement?”
Qu Lianhong and Cheng Youlin almost spoke in unison.
“Although these two skills aren’t offensive, they are definitely life-saving masteries. It seems your Deceit Baby has a lot of potential.”
Zhou Wen’s pupils slightly contracted, then he patted Mu Rufeng’s shoulder.
“To have two such abilities, and such good ones at that,” Qu Lianhong said with a hint of envy.
“I’m so jealous I could grind my teeth,” Cheng Youlin said, his face also filled with envy.
“It’s just luck, just good luck,” Mu Rufeng replied with a bashful smile.
“Alright, quit your grumbling, you two go get some rest. I’ll give you the day off today,” Zhou Wen told Cheng Youlin and Qu Lianhong.
“Hehe, Captain Zhou is the best. With these dark circles, I need to go sleep a beauty sleep and recover,” Qu Lianhong said with a giggle.
“Perfect, my mom arranged a blind date for me; I need to meet someone at noon. I heard she’s a real beauty, heh heh,” Cheng Youlin chuckled.
“Tsch, sleazy guy, with you? Would a beauty even take a second glance?” Qu Lianhong said disdainfully looking at Cheng Youlin.
“I…”
Cheng Youlin was about to retort but was cut off by Zhou Wen, “Enough, if you two want to bicker, do it outside. Xiao Mu, I’m going back to the office to write reports. If you need anything, call me or come find me in my office; I’m on the fourth floor, Room 401.”
“Got it, Captain Zhou,” Mu Rufeng nodded.
Soon, Zhou Wen and the others departed.
…
Mu Rufeng closed the door, organized his things, and wrapped the Bandage inside his clothing so it couldn’t be seen from the outside.
Then, he picked up a backpack and left the room.
The backpack was fetched by a staff member, where Mu Rufeng had stored the items that wouldn’t fit within the Bandage.
Mu Rufeng quickly made his way to the lobby on the first floor.
He went straight to the waiting area and took a seat on the sofa, quietly waiting.
There were a lot of people bustling about in the hall, and Mu Rufeng recognized a few familiar faces.
These are all new players.
They are also the players who have cleared the bloody instances.
Mu Rufeng didn’t know how many players the relevant department had recruited, but he estimated it was quite a few.
After waiting for nearly ten more minutes, Zhao Dayong arrived late.
“Mr. Mu, sorry to keep you waiting, there was a traffic accident on the ring road, and it was blocked for twenty minutes.” As soon as he arrived, Zhao Dayong hurriedly apologized.
“It’s fine, let’s go take a look at the house assigned to me.” Mu Rufeng said with a smile and a wave of his hand.
Soon after, Mu Rufeng rode in the sedan, heading to a certain residential community.
“Dayong, did you find all those contractors who cleared the instance today?” Mu Rufeng, bored in the car, started a conversation.
“We found all of them, fourteen in total, five are locals, and the rest are from out of town, but all within the province.” Zhao Dayong said.
“How many joined our department?” Mu Rufeng asked.
“Ten, three of whom have been assigned to our side.” Zhao Dayong responded.
“Ten? What about the remaining four? Didn’t they join?” Mu Rufeng was slightly surprised.
“Two were lured away by corporate forces with high salaries; one was originally from corporate forces, and another one didn’t agree to join any side; it seems like they want to be a lone ranger.” Zhao Dayong explained.
“Corporate forces? How did these people find those returning players?” Mu Rufeng asked, astonished.
“Well… corporate forces have quite a few spies, and since we’ve been so high-profile in our recruitment, they naturally took notice.”
“With their resources, it’s easy for them to get hold of those players’ information and contact details,” said Zhao Dayong.
“Then why didn’t anyone contact me?” Mu Rufeng scratched his cheek and said in a lower voice.
It wasn’t that Mu Rufeng wanted to switch sides; he just felt a bit disappointed that no one had contacted him.
“Mr. Mu, we’ll be arriving at the community soon.” Whether Zhao Dayong hadn’t heard or didn’t wish to answer, he smoothly changed the subject.
“This looks like Silver Star North Road, which community is it?” Mu Rufeng inquired.
“Yuejiang Pavilion District. The surrounding environment here is quite good – malls, hospitals are not far away, and the transport is quite convenient; there’s a subway station for Line 4 just two hundred meters away.” Zhao Dayong described.
“Oh, it is really convenient here; I’ve been to the shopping area around here to eat with friends before.” Mu Rufeng nodded.
Around five minutes later, they entered an underground parking garage at Yuejiang Pavilion District.
“The developer of this community has a partnership with our department; the residents of buildings 1 and 2 are all either staff of our department or their family members.”
“You can choose an empty apartment from these two buildings as your benefits house.”
After parking the car, Zhao Dayong took out a tablet and handed it to Mu Rufeng.
On it was the 3D plan of buildings 1 and 2 at Yuejiang Pavilion.
Mu Rufeng casually clicked on an apartment and could even see its layout and relevant data.
He noticed that many apartments were greyed out, unclickable, probably already occupied.
After a few minutes, Mu Rufeng chose an apartment on the twenty-eighth floor of building 2.
“All right, Mr. Mu, let’s head over there now,” Zhao Dayong said, carrying a briefcase and getting out of the car.
Quickly, the two took the elevator up to the twenty-eighth floor and arrived in front of door 2802.
Zhao Dayong took out a universal card from the briefcase and swiped it on the electronic device at the door.
With a “beep,” the door opened.
“Mr. Mu, come, set up a password first; once it’s changed, no one but you can enter.”
Zhao Dayong operated the lock for a while, then let Mu Rufeng record his fingerprint and set a password.
It only took a minute to get everything sorted.
“This apartment is a total of 118 square meters, with three bedrooms, two living rooms, a kitchen, and two bathrooms, fully furnished, and all household appliances are included.”
“It’s just been unoccupied for a long time, so there’s a bit of dust; I’ll have someone come to clean it up later.” Zhao Dayong glanced at the furniture appliances covered in white cloths in the room and said.
“Good, I’ll go to my old dormitory to move my things here in the meantime.” Mu Rufeng spoke.
After giving some instructions and documenting some information, Zhao Dayong left.
Zhao Dayong had wanted to take Mu Rufeng to the superior choice, but Mu Rufeng refused, letting him go about his business.
…
Mu Rufeng stood on the large balcony, looking down at the scenery below, feeling exhilarated and full of emotion.
He now had a house.
Although it hadn’t been transferred to his name yet, that time was not far off.
“Ding-dong!” Suddenly, a message notification chimed on Mu Rufeng’s phone.
Mu Rufeng checked his phone and his face lit up with joy.
[Changsha Bank]Your card ending in 7713 received a deposit of 210000.00 yuan from another bank at 11:02 on July 17, balance 312751.00 yuan.
The money had been deposited.
Three hundred and twelve thousand yuan was truly a fortune for a young man two years post-graduation.
“First, I’ll go to the superior choice and get my things; also, I need to resign and collect this half month’s salary.”
Even though he now had money, the half month’s salary was over three thousand yuan, and he didn’t want to miss out on that.
What do you think?
