Stronger with More Jobs

Chapter 631 - 279: I Can Feel It—God Is Almost Here...

That figure slowly turned around.

It was Jiang Ying.

She had a gentle yet slightly mischievous smile, and her gaze swept over Fang Qingyu and the similarly surprised team members behind him.

"Here, it’s better to call me Vice Minister Jiang."

Jiang Ying’s voice was clear and calm.

Fang Qingyu was stunned listening to her...

Does Abyss Hunting have both main and vice ministers?

But if even Jiang Ying, a Tier Four Martial Venerable, was only a vice minister.

Then what kind of existence would the actual minister be?

"Please, have a seat."

Jiang Ying casually pointed at the few simple black sofas on the opposite side of the desk.

Fang Qingyu and his team sat down as instructed.

Wei Banmeng and the others appeared quite reserved, as they had never met Jiang Ying before.

Jiang Wei quietly sat beside Fang Qingyu.

Her clear red eyes carried a hint of curiosity, calmly meeting Jiang Ying’s gaze.

Jiang Ying’s gaze lingered on Jiang Wei’s face, shedding its youth and showing a hint of beauty, for two seconds longer, an extremely complex emotion flashed deep in her eyes...

Then her gaze returned to Fang Qingyu.

"From now on, your team’s duty situation at the Arctic Front will be personally handled by me."

Jiang Ying got straight to the point.

Fang Qingyu nodded and agreed.

After all, within the team, there’s a future God and a dual-system prodigy.

The strength is clearly different from all other newly joined special force squads.

Jiang Ying leaned slightly forward, crossed her hands on the desk, looking at Fang Qingyu, and her smile took on a bit of amusement: "So, the first question. Are you looking to take on more... challenging tasks or relatively easier ones?"

Fang Qingyu listened and his mouth twitched.

Challenging? Easier?

Sounds like we have a choice?

So he tentatively asked: "Do we... get to choose?"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ying’s playful smile disappeared instantly, shaking her head lightly: "No."

Fang Qingyu: "..."

Why ask us if we don’t have a choice?

Seeing Fang Qingyu’s speechless expression, Jiang Ying finally revealed a genuine smile, akin to melting ice and snow: "Just following formalities, trying to understand the new team’s mentality."

She paused, adding: "And to see if you’re overly influenced by the achievements at Glazed Light City."

Fang Qingyu helplessly tugged at his mouth: "We just want to integrate quickly into the frontline and go wherever we’re needed."

"Good attitude."

Jiang Ying nodded, reining in her smile, returning to the calm and firm demeanor befitting someone of her position.

Without further words, she reached under the desk and took out a thick, brick-like black hardcover book without any markings on its cover, and casually dropped it onto the coffee table in front of Fang Qingyu and the others.

The sound of the book landing was dull, carrying a sense of weight.

"This is a detailed map of the known areas beyond the Arctic Front and the Great Wall Defense Line."

Jiang Ying’s voice shifted to seriousness, "It marks all known Life Ghost clan activity ranges, major strongholds, danger zones, and locations of our beacon towers, outposts, and supply points."

Her gaze swept over the group: "Review it here. Whenever you memorize all the key information on it, especially those dozens of active battle zones, terrain features, and enemy-allied situations, you can leave this office."

"Remember, every marker on the map could be a matter of life or death in future missions."

"Your familiarity with the battlefield environment will determine how long you can survive on the ice field."

Fang Qingyu took a deep breath, understanding the map’s importance.

He was the first to pick up the book, feeling its weight and the cold, resilient paper.

Opening the first page, he was greeted by an extremely detailed, large-scale map of the ice fields.

Numerous fine lines outlined glaciers, rifts, plains, and tundras.

Different colors and symbols marked various points.

Dark red represented Life Ghost activity areas, ominous skulls marked large Life Ghost nests, black skulls signified extremely dangerous zones, blue triangles marked human outposts, and flaming torch symbols represented beacon towers...

There were more than dozens of fiercely contested regions clearly marked.

Each location noted engagement intensity levels, main Life Ghost types and quantities, our stationed forces, and other information.

The detailed information was nerve-wracking.

Everyone studied it extremely seriously.

Time quietly slipped by in the silence, with only the rustle of turning pages.

After about ten minutes.

Slam!

Fang Qingyu closed the heavy book.

Next, Wei Banmeng and Lu Jiuyuan almost simultaneously put down their own copies, which had been flipped to the last page.

Jiang Wei gently nodded, indicating she had memorized it as well.

All five of them refocused their gaze on Jiang Ying.

Jiang Ying, who had been quietly handling documents on her desk, finally lifted her eyes, gazing across the five faces.

She nodded slightly, and with a gesture, the heavy black hardcover book and several copies were pulled back by an invisible hand, flying lightly back into her hands and disappearing.

"Alright, you may go back."

Jiang Ying’s voice returned to its previous calm, "I will inform you when there’s a task."

She paused, her gaze settling on Fang Qingyu: "Rest well, get familiar with the environment, and thoroughly digest the Glazed Light City gains. Once your awards transition procedures are fully completed, and your status officially transfers to the Garrison Army, that’s when it truly begins."

"Understood, thank you, Vice Minister Jiang."

Fang Qingyu stood up, leading his team to bow respectfully.
