Chapter 877: Chapter 326: What Kind of Job? Is It Very Profitable?

"What did you just say?"

Yu Yao’s gaze suddenly landed on Xu Feng, her eyes filled with suspicion, doubt, and distrust, without any pretense.

Xu Feng was taken aback, "What did I say? I didn’t say anything."

"Oh, I said the minister isn’t like that..."

As he spoke, he paused, carefully pondering his words, then his expression turned somewhat peculiar.

He smacked his lips, muttering, "Well, if the minister knew this is how you see him, what consequences would there be."

Yu Yao pursed her lips, stayed silent, and fell into contemplation.

Xu Feng chuckled awkwardly twice before continuing, "Alright, let’s not worry about the minister’s matters. He basically has nothing to fear in this world."

"Previously, even a full barrage of Katyusha rockets didn’t faze him, so what are we worried about? At worst, he might end up bald again."

Zhang Beixing’s hair had just grown back out recently.

It’s currently at a buzz cut length; it might take another two to three months to grow back to its previous length.

A perfectly fine Transcendent, with abilities that reach human limits, yet can’t control hair growth.

"According to the minister’s prior directives, we’ll have a few days off. Those who need to visit family should do so, those who need to sleep, sleep, and those who need to have fun, have fun." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

"Tentatively set for a one-week holiday, specifics will await the minister’s notice. Okay, that’s all, dismissed!"

When Xu Feng uttered the last sentence,

there were cheers in the conference room.

Though they all wanted to become stronger, they were still relatively young.

Having a holiday is something to be happy about, isn’t it?

Even the most diligent Xu Feng felt a sense of relief when a one-week break was confirmed.

The recent period of intense combat was truly exhausting.

Most of the time, they had to keep a tight grip on themselves.

This state of being prolonged for so long is really tiring, only someone like Zhang Beixing could endure it.

Moreover, taking advantage of this break, he needs to familiarize himself further with the process of Oizaki’s Eight Challenges.

He feels stuck at the Half-Step Grandmaster level.

He might need to retrace Zhang Beixing’s path in Oizaki’s Eight Challenges to achieve a breakthrough.

Zhang Beixing privately spoke with him once before.

For him to become the world’s second Great Grandmaster, there are two paths.

One is to follow Zhang Beixing’s footsteps and challenge Oizaki’s Eight Challenges.

This is a difficult road where a single misstep could lead to death and disappearance.

He lacks Zhang Beixing’s almost superhuman luck.

The other path is to try the potion developed by the DE Organization.

If it were the previous formulations that resulted in numerous problematic test subjects, Xu Feng wouldn’t have dared to use them.

But Zhang Beixing later discovered Makely.

At least for now, Makely’s potion seems to have no side effects. If there are any, they’re too minor to have been noticed yet.

Given time, Makely might develop a potion enabling a Half-Step Grandmaster to break through to Great Grandmaster.

This is why Zhang Beixing insisted on bringing Makely back to Great Xia.

Moreover, she must willingly accompany them back to Great Xia.

If forced, and she doesn’t cooperate, then it’s all for naught.

All lights in The Ninth Bureau were turned off.

Except for the basic cleaning staff and gate guards remaining on duty, The Ninth Bureau’s Extraordinary Reservists and other staff began their one-week holiday.

Xu Feng and a few team members walked out of The Ninth Bureau’s gate at this time.

They all looked up at the sky.

Amidst the streetlights’ glow.

Snowflakes sparkled faintly.

The greenery on either side of the road was the first to be covered.

Yin Mengwei gazed at this year’s first snowfall and softly spoke.

"It’s snowing, Wu Country must have even bigger snowfalls, right?"

"Minister..."

...

...

...

’Whoo, whoo, whoo, whoo...’

The charm of internal combustion engines is boundless.

The old train is coal-driven, the rising black smoke starkly contrasting with the gently falling snow.

Currently, this passenger train has reached Lanbo, just a few hundred kilometers from Wu Country.

About seven hours remain before the train reaches its destination.

Those with sinister intentions on board have their thoughts even more chaotic.

Nearly a hundred people, tempted by the high rewards, boarded this train.

And from boarding until now, nearly twenty hours have passed without their task being sent to their phones.

During this lengthy nearly twenty-hour period, they wander aimlessly, unable to discern what to do next.

They presumed they could fulfill the task halfway through and receive the remaining payment before getting off the train.

After all, none of them truly wanted to go to Wu Country.
