Joining the Team

[Ding! Today’s task has been released: A beautiful love should be as free as the wind. Please have your girlfriend sit in the passenger seat for 30 minutes.]

[Ding! Daily task completed. Simulation attempts +1. Current remaining simulation attempts: 1.]

Today’s task was simple.

At least for Xu Nian, it was very simple and not difficult at all.

But he didn’t know why the daily tasks were always related to Su Qingya.

Well, thinking about it, he knew that it was because it was a love simulation system, so of course it would be related to his girlfriend.

“You’re here?”

“I’m here.”

At this time, Xiao Ge was sitting at the entrance of the Public Security Bureau with a newspaper in his hand, looking like an old geezer.

He had a cigarette in his mouth, giving off an indescribable feeling.

Su Qingya was not good with words, so Xu Nian rolled down the car window and quickly said with a smile.

“Captain, you have such a leisurely mood.”

“It’s alright, reading the news is pretty good. Park the car over there.”

Xiao Ge pointed in a direction, and Xu Nian rolled up the car window and found an empty space to park the car.

Xu Nian’s sports car parked together with a large group of police cars felt somewhat out of place.

He called out to Su Qingya to take a bunch of gifts from the trunk of the car.

Xu Nian personally handed a pack of Chinese cigarettes to Xiao Ge.

“Captain, smoke this. This one has a strong kick.”

“We don’t promote this here. If it were normal, you would be punished.”

He still put Xu Nian’s Chinese cigarettes into his pocket.

“Isn’t this my first time here? I want to have a good relationship with everyone, so I’m just sending some things that are useful in daily life. It’s nothing, just small gifts between colleagues.”

Xu Nian said with a smile.

Xiao Ge also smiled helplessly: “You little girl, being down-to-earth and hardworking is the most important thing. Come in.”

Xiao Ge did not take Xu Nian and Su Qingya in through the main entrance.

The main entrance belonged to the ordinary public security officers’ case-handling area.

For special departments like them, they always had to make some small disguises.

It wasn’t far.

The location of the official Fluxweavers was also a building, but it wasn’t so conspicuous.

“Captain, did you get anything out of that Fluxweaver from yesterday?”

“No, she’s dead, died very decisively. Even if we let Leng Xiao control her, we couldn’t suppress it.

I guess some other higher-star Fluxweaver tampered with her in order not to expose the secret. You little girl is really not simple.”

Xu Nian scratched his head embarrassedly.

He thought about it, and it was true.

Emotional power was so strange.

Being caught could very likely expose all the secrets, so how could they not do something?

But even so, Captain Xiao was still willing to let Xu Nian join the public security officer, which, to some extent, meant that the other party was willing to provide shelter for him.

“Why are you willing to let me join the public security officer?”

Obviously, the forces targeting Xu Nian were very dangerous.

Although Xu Nian didn’t know what those forces were, they were obviously very extraordinary.

Xiao Ge took a puff of his cigarette.

“Before you were a Fluxweaver, you were also a member of the people. Protecting the people is the duty and responsibility of the public security officer.”

When Xu Nian heard this, he quieted down and said nothing more.

After entering the building, the subsequent area was probably a conference hall.

There were a total of eight members sitting inside.

Leng Xiao, as the deputy captain, was naturally among them.

“Captain, A City is so big, and there are only nine of us. Aren’t we a little too busy?”

“What do you think Fluxbeast incidents are, like cabbages? Happening everywhere every day? Besides, there are also branch offices. The entire A City isn’t just us.”

Before entering the conference room, he stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can.

“Alright, let me introduce to everyone. These two are our new members, Xu Nian of the Joyful Path and Su Qingya of the Fearful Path.

They are currently tentatively designated as alternate team members.

They are still high school students and will go to the academy for further studies in the future.

After that, they will most likely be assigned to our team. Everyone, please welcome them.”

“Hello, I’m Xu Nian.” Xu Nian smiled and waved to everyone.

“Su Qingya.” Su Qingya also nodded.

Then the Fluxweavers below applauded to express their welcome.

“Come, come, these are gifts for everyone.”

Xu Nian quickly led Su Qingya to put the purchased gifts on their respective desks, and they received another round of thanks.

However, Xu Nian could also notice that their expressions were different, probably because of the different emotional paths.

As the saying goes, no one hits a smiling face, and Xu Nian had also given gifts, so the people present had a pretty good first impression of Xu Nian.

Except for a little girl on the path, she looked at Xu Nian with resentment, as if she was about to cry in the next second.

But that was also because Xu Nian had taken her position as the manager of the Flux Tool, the Soul Lamp.

Then Xiao Ge introduced the names and paths of these people to Xu Nian one by one.

Xu Nian then learned that the uncle’s path was actually [Anger].

But he looked very kind and peaceful.

He never thought that he was actually on the [Anger] path, which sounded very violent.

However, there was also a Fluxweaver in the room who had the exact same path as Xu Nian, also [Joyful], who was a tall and thin girl.

Everyone here was several years older than Xu Nian, so it wasn’t an exaggeration for Xu Nian to call them senior, sister, or brother.

“Chen Qiu, you take these two. They don’t understand anything. You give them a good tutorial, roughly covering the main points. I’ll go apply for two Flux Tool embryos.”

“Don’t understand anything?” A stag-like man in his thirties looked astonished.

He had a pair of not-too-big antlers growing from the position of his temples, and he stood up in shock and questioned,

“Captain, is it too irresponsible for you to let them join the team like this? They’re still so young.”

“Fluxweavers have no age limit. As long as they become Fluxweavers, they will eventually be drawn into danger.

Then it’s better to let them come into contact with it earlier and under our guidance.”

Xiao Ge’s words were very rational, and his expression didn’t fluctuate much.

“But to let them master the Flux Tool embryos like this, isn’t it a bit too early…”

“The sooner the better. Everything should be done as early as possible.

The sooner they come into contact with it, the sooner they cultivate it, and the sooner they form combat power, I think this is very good.

It’s impossible to let them foolishly wait empty-handed for a year.

Practical contact is always better than the rigid learning in school. Practice is the best teacher.”

Xiao Ge’s attitude was very firm: “Okay, that’s it. Everyone else, do what you need to do. Dismissed.”

He clapped his hands, and the others packed up their things and left the conference hall in twos and threes.

Only the stag-like man in his thirties who had questioned him earlier stayed behind.

He was Chen Qiu, and his path was [Persistence], a three-star Fluxweaver.

“I’m sorry, you two. I was also moved by compassion. After all, you two look too young, not much older than my daughter.”

“It’s okay, we understand.”

Xu Nian quickly said.

“Hehe, the captain always sees further than us, even though he’s the most irrational one.”

“I think the captain is very approachable.”

“Perhaps you haven’t seen him when he’s fighting. He is, after all, on the [Anger] path.”

Chen Qiu smiled. Xiao Ge had already left with the crowd, after all, he had important things to do and didn’t have time to stay here.

“Alright, let’s not talk about this. Come, find a place to sit. Next, I’ll talk to you about what a Fluxweaver is. Just think of it as a crash course for you.”

After saying that, Chen Qiu plugged a U disk into the computer, opened the PPT, and began to explain it to the two of them.

The content was quite dull, but Xu Nian and Su Qingya both listened very carefully.
