Chapter 1218 - 619: Too Late
"Most Tian Yuan won't have any resistance to this move, as long as nobody finds out." Tong Shan finally reminded, "If you really want to be cautious, you'd better watch out for the Ruins."
Ruins, always the Ruins.
There's no choice; the Ruins are just that potent. You can always count on the Ruins' rapid armor stacking and endless mechanisms. The Entropy System couldn't break the defense against the Ruins, which led to the blessings chain research. Unfortunately, even after the research, there were times when the defense couldn't be broken.
There are quite a few nemeses.
Just like the one currently hanging behind Ji Jue's rear.
Little Ox and Horse.
As the workshop's chief driver, carrier, and damage test target, Little Ox and Horse could only joke if it somehow learned to talk, throwing a jab or two.
Unmoving as a Mountain, kid!
Pressure doesn't matter; the Dragon Mountain Armor can forcibly distribute the attacks received across all surrounding materials, sharing the damage.
Unless Ji Jue inflates the numbers or bypasses this mechanism, he's left with no choice but to stare blankly.
To attack Sister Wen would only lead to futile -1, -1, and once caught, the power would channel up to the sky...
Wait, why would I attack Sister Wen? Shouldn't Sister Wen be upfront, creating an output environment for me?!
Upon this realization, Ji Jue snorted lightly.
"Alright, no time to waste."
Ji Jue slapped his thigh, "Let's go find the Heavenly Calamity."
"..."
Tong Shan fell silent for a moment, hesitating, "Isn't it possible that I need to work during the day?"
"Ah, this..."
Ji Jue was stunned, "What about at night?"
Tong Shan's expression grew more complex, "Overtime."
Who invented this darned job? Wait, I have a factory too; I shouldn't say that. But how is the Security Bureau even managing this? Always overtime, with so much workload...
Oh, it seems it was my idea.
Then never mind.
"Help me with my cultivation when you have time."
Ji Jue sighed, resigned.
Although the Heavenly Calamities are everywhere in this wretched place, pairs like Tong Zhiwu and his Zanlu Transformation are rarely seen.
Without Tong Shan, Ji Jue would need to work ten times harder, and might not achieve the previous results and progress.
Just thinking about this, Ji Jue's advancing legs immediately folded, and he plopped onto the chair beside him.
Patiently waited.
Without fear of heaven and earth.
"..."
Seeing Ji Jue squatting in front and waiting eagerly, Tong Shan couldn't stand it.
No choice, no matter who you are, having a craftsman sit opposite with eyes gleaming at you, would make anyone feel dizzy.
Especially when the squatting guy is Ji Jue, it gets completely dark.
"Looking for Heavenly Calamity? Finish the tasks at hand, then we talk."
Tong Shan retrieved a huge pile of task reports from the clattering printer and placed them before Ji Jue, "These are all recent anomalies reports, the ones on the left need confirmation of anomalies, the ones in the middle need to confirm any worsening situations, the ones on the right need further assurance that no Recovery Front terrorists have infiltrated."
Since you're so idle, why not help me out a bit?"
"Why are they all trivial chores?"
Ji Jue flipped through them, fully unsatisfied, "Is there no heavy-duty work?"
"A newbie who's always sidelined; aside from delivering tea, what job could there be? It's good enough to have work." Tong Shan took a sip of tea, calmly saying, "If you don't do the troublesome work, no telling who would."
"Ah, ah, Tian Yuan..."
Ji Jue shook his head, flipping through the files in hand, understanding completely.
In a poor pit like Central Earth, where human resources are pitifully low, there tend to be more weapons pointed at honest people. If you try to work seriously, you're bound to attract criticism. If you hope others work seriously, that's wishful thinking.
Including confirmation tasks or anomaly checks, some people just blow them off.
For discerning terrorists and Mutated Transformations tasks, if it's troublesome, some just kill them off rather than waste the Empire's time identifying each and interrogating them.
There's only Tong Shan, this rare specimen, meticulously discerning each detail.
"Alright, these, these, and these, leave them to me."
Ji Jue grabbed the tasks on the left and middle, as if helping Tong Zhiwu clear the daily chores.
These troublesome tasks occupying over 90% could all be managed with his equipment. At this moment, Ji Jue's deployed drones in the wilderness were already active.
"This one, this one, and this one, plus this one."
Ji Jue pulled out a few reports to focus on, passing them to Tong Shan, "These places have no issues, all false alarms... This informant's false report rate is quite high; check if they might be embezzling.
Also, this series of murders in the South District of Tower City, hmm, let me see, both culprits are on the bounty list, hiding in an apartment with altered identities for about two months.
Hmm, those downstairs and across the hall are their lackeys too, so no need to hold back when it comes to action. The detailed intel is right here; have Brother Liu and Sister Xue go and finish them off.
Then there's this one, um, this one, these few..."
Before the words fell, specific apartment numbers, photos, and even delivery records were sent to Tong Shan's phone.
Along with server searches, bounty personnel traced along the network, all delivered together. Whether it's one sheep or two, might as well send them off together for some bounty and credit earnings.
