Go Ahead If You Can!
Chapter 39
By the time he returned to the Special Investigation Department, Bai Yu was already sweating profusely from the heat. He was already in his prime, and the temperature had risen at noon. When he entered the office, he was so hot that it was as if he had just been fished out of the water. Not to mention his sweater, even the shoulders and necks of his jacket were wet.
Everyone in the Special Investigation Department was a little surprised when they saw him enter the office in this outfit. Lin Jing, the sharp-tongued one, mocked him directly, "Director Zhao?
Didn't you go home to recuperate?
How did you gain so much weight in less than two days? "
Bai Yu gritted his teeth and raised his hand to hit him, "You're the one who's gained weight!
I just wanted to wear more clothes and sweat more! "
When he moved, his back was facing Zhu Hong. She immediately noticed the sweat stains on his clothes and couldn't help but ask with concern, "Your clothes are wet. You'll catch a cold if you go out like this. Why don't you take off your jacket first?"
"No, thank you."
Bai Yu thanked her politely. He didn't want to change his clothes in the office at all. Once he took off his jacket, his pink sweater would be exposed at any moment. He didn't want to be laughed at by these people in the Special Investigation Department for his weird taste in clothes.
However, some things just happened. Bai Yu had just finished arguing with Lin Jing. When he turned around, he happened to bump into Old Li, who was holding a bowl of dried fish. Unfortunately, the dried fish that had just come out of the pot was smeared with oil, and several oil spots were printed on his jacket. It looked terrible.
"Ah!
My dried fish! "
Daqing screamed and pounced over. He transformed into his original form at lightning speed and caught the two dried fish that fell out with his mouth. Then, he deftly hooked Zhao Yunlan's jacket with his claws, trying to stabilize himself. In the end, the claw hook coincidentally grabbed the zipper. Everyone only heard a "zap" sound, and the zipper was pulled open by gravity, completely exposing the pink sweater inside in front of everyone.
Everyone in the Special Investigation Department, "???"
Bai Yu, "!!!"
Daqing, the only one who wasn't distracted by the pink sweater, nimbly flipped over and landed steadily on the ground. Satisfied, she transformed back into her human form, took out the dried fish in her mouth, and bit off the fish head with satisfaction.
The next moment, he was kicked in the butt by his cheap poop picker, and he couldn't help but fall into the sofa.
The air was silent for a moment.
"Ahem …" Zhu Hong was experienced and knowledgeable. She reacted immediately and said, "Lao Zhao, your sweater … is quite unique!"
Bai Yu felt very embarrassed. When she heard Zhu Hong's praise, she thought that Zhu Hong was praising her insincerely for her sake. She couldn't help but raise her hand to cover her eyes. After taking a deep breath, she let go of her hand as if nothing had happened.
"Alright, let's do our own things!
Wang Zheng, these are the materials. Go through the procedures and make some preparations. We'll make Xiao Guo an official employee in two days. "
"Huh?
Oh … "Wang Zheng answered blankly as she hugged the documents. She glanced at the sweater on Bai Yu and couldn't help but ask," Director Zhao, your sweater … "
"Ah … Alright, I still have a headache. I'm going to rest first. Don't look for me unless it's urgent."
Bai Yu didn't want to hear any more questions, so she interrupted Wang Zheng's inquiry. She felt that she couldn't stay here any longer, so she gave a few instructions and strode out of the Special Investigation Department.
The few people in the room looked at each other and laughed in unison.
"Is Director Zhao embarrassed?"
"Oh?
Our Lost Soul has a time when he's so shy? "
"Isn't it just a change of clothes?
Is there a need to be so embarrassed? "
"Actually … I just wanted to ask Director Zhao where you bought the new clothes. They look quite nice …"
Everyone was talking at once. Some were joking, and some were praising her.
Only Daqing, who only loved dried fish and didn't pay attention to the clothes, was dumbfounded. She rolled her eyes speechlessly as she looked at her colleagues who were laughing like crazy.
…
Finally, it was nighttime. The punishment time was over, and the punishment mission was completed. Bai Yu took off the sweater that he had been wearing for two days and threw it into the laundry basket.
"I'm finally free!" He stretched and changed into his daily clothes. He felt like he had been reborn.
Just as he was about to go across the street to look for Zhu Yilong, he received a new system notification.
[Triggered Random Mission: Capture Zhu Jiu. Mission completion will reward you with two Archive Capsules and 500 contribution points. Mission duration is half a month. Failure of the mission will not result in a deduction of contribution points, but a punishment condition will be randomly generated. Do you accept?]
[Yes] [No]
"Huh?" Bai Yu's hair stood on end when he saw the new mission. "Wait a minute!
Didn't I already fail this mission?
Why is it out again? "
The system said, [Uncompleted Random Missions have a chance of being refreshed.]
I see.
This time, Bai Yu didn't rashly click "Yes". Instead, he stared at the mission for a moment. He didn't want to set himself up again before he was absolutely sure that he would succeed.
Forget it, I'll give up!
Just as he was about to click "No", there was a knock on the door.
Bai Yu was startled. His hand trembled, and his finger, which was about to click "No", missed by an inch. Coincidentally, he clicked "Yes".
Bai Yu, "…"
Bai Yu, "???"
Bai Yu, "!!!"
When Zhu Yilong opened the door, he saw Bai Yu looking at him with a hopeless expression.
"Brother Long, you came at the right time." Bai Yu let him in and sighed.
Zhu Yilong was confused. "What's wrong?"
He paused and said, "I thought it was time for you to leave, so I wanted to ask you to go back with me."
"Ah — don't mention it!"
Bai Yu scratched the back of his neck and shared the mission panel with him. "This mission just refreshed. I wanted to reject it, but when I heard someone knocking on the door, my hand trembled, and …"
Zhu Yilong, "… Pfft!"
When he saw the familiar mission panel, Zhu Yilong couldn't help but laugh out loud. Then, Bai Yu rudely hit him, so he quickly stopped laughing and comforted him. "Forget it. Since it happened, let's go back and think about how to complete it. We won't let you get punished a second time."
"Hmph!" Bai Yu snorted and laughed. "Forget it!
I can see that the system is trying to set me up. "
Zhu Yilong pressed the corner of his mouth. He didn't want his good friend to explode if he continued laughing. He changed the topic. "What should we do now?
Should we finish the daily mission first, or go back directly? "
Bai Yu's head hurt when he heard the word "mission." He raised his hand and refused. "Don't talk to me about missions!
Just looking at them gives me a headache.
Let's go back directly!
When I'm in a better mood, we'll come back here. "
Zhu Yilong didn't have any objections and nodded.
Thus, the two of them took out the Save Capsule, saved it, and returned to the real world.
When they opened their eyes in the real world, it was a new workday.
In addition to filming, the two of them also accepted some endorsements and advertisements that would help them consolidate their popularity. Many of them required them to film promotional videos in advance.
Therefore, after the two of them got up, they went their separate ways to finish their work so that they could return to the world of the movie earlier.
When they returned this time, there would probably be a series of important storylines. After a few small unit storylines, the two of them had basically adapted to the various aspects of the world. However, they were still a little more cautious about the main mission. Therefore, they agreed to finish their work early tomorrow to free up more time.
After a busy morning, Zhu Yilong finally had time to rest for a while. He took out his phone and checked Weibo.
As soon as he refreshed the page, he realized that the girls of Soul Suppressing were especially excited on Weibo today. Not only were they discussing the topic in full swing, but there were also a few other topics and trending topics on the list.
He roughly scrolled through it and was surprised to find that the original author of "Soul Suppressing", P University, had posted a new chapter. It caused the girls to howl non-stop. Many of them even tagged him and Bai Yu directly.
Out of curiosity, Zhu Yilong opened the chapter. The number of words was unexpectedly large. It was not just an ordinary chapter like he had imagined.
When he finished reading the chapter word by word, he couldn't help but sigh. 'The original author's skills are indeed much better than the rough script they received.'
In addition to appeasing the readers and fans who were waiting to be fed, this extra chapter also completed the ending of the Soul Suppressing Scripture in a strategically advantageous manner.
What a great eighty-one interstitial worlds. Everything that happened in the script was just one of the interstitial worlds.
When the interstitial worlds were broken and everything returned to normal, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan would still be the two Mr. Kunlun and Professor Shen who were living well in the Special Investigation Department — well, it should be called the "Special Investigation Department" — in the original work. One would not disappear into a space-time wormhole after death, while the other would turn into a wick that burned for eternity.
Zhu Yilong couldn't help but sigh with emotion at such a wonderful extravaganza.
He scrolled down the comments and found many hidden Easter eggs that the readers had summarized in the chapter. There were many that he had not noticed when he was reading: for example, taking a vacation, the implication that every world ended at 20: 35, and … Chief Zhao was no longer a virgin …
"Teacher Yilong?"
His assistant suddenly called out to him, pulling Zhu Yilong's attention back from the comments. He blinked and looked at his assistant. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing."
The assistant put down the lunchbox in his hand and sat across from him curiously. "I saw you smiling as soon as I arrived. Is there anything funny?"
"Nothing."
Zhu Yilong did not intend to share this little joy with others. He sent the address of the chapter to Bai Yu and casually put the blame on his good friend. "It's just that Bai Yu sent me an emoji again."
The assistant nodded. She did not doubt this reason. Obviously, someone had a lot of bad records, so the assistant was already convinced. "You have a good relationship with Mr. Bai."
Zhu Yilong smiled and did not answer her. Instead, he put down his phone and prepared to eat lunch.
However, as soon as he picked up his lunchbox, he heard his phone vibrate a few times. He unlocked his phone and looked down. He could not help but purse his lips.
He saw that in his WeChat chat with Bai Yu, there was a new emoji sent by the other party. The background of the emoji was a beach. He and Bai Yu were standing there with their arms around each other's shoulders. The two of them were wearing normal clothes on their upper bodies, but their lower bodies were photoshopped into a pair of rainbow-patterned shorts. It was a picture of a refined gentleman.
Zhu Yilong suddenly felt the back of his molars itching. He wanted to find a piece of meat to grind his teeth.
He sent an emoji of a monkey eating a mango to the other party. Then, he replied:
"I suddenly feel like eating mangoes. [smile] [smile] [smile]."
