Chapter 76 Onboarding
Inside the control room at the rear of the firing range.
The dignified woman glanced at the four frisbees that had been almost casually smashed, chuckled, and turned to the elderly man beside her, who looked to be in his fifties and dressed in a Zhongshan suit, asking, "Mr. Chen, what do you think?"
Old Chen's gaze was sharp and solemn.
"With her internal energy fully developed and almost no excess power leaking out, she is just one step away from breaking through to the legendary Dan Jin realm."
Old Chen glanced at the four broken frisbees and then said, "She must also have an extremely rare talent for marksmanship. Tsk tsk, if such a talent were placed in the army, she would definitely be a god of war."
The dignified woman's expression turned serious.
"However, her records are very clean, with no record of her learning martial arts, medicine, or even mystical arts. Elder Chen, in your opinion, what's going on with Xia Xue?"
Old Chen glanced at the dignified woman, shook his head, and smiled knowingly, "Even without the involvement of mystical arts, there are still many people in this world who cannot be predicted by common sense. Not to mention, mystical arts are involved here, so anything is possible."
The dignified woman sighed and said, "Yes, mystical arts, mystical arts, so mysterious and unpredictable, they are truly awe-inspiring."
Old Chen looked at the dignified woman and smiled reassuringly, "The restrictions have been lifted, and we're gradually making contact with the cultivation world. What are you worrying about? What, do you want to go against the tide?"
The dignified woman shook her head, her tone becoming somewhat more relaxed.
"No, it's just that I feel a little sentimental."
Old Chen smiled and shook his head, saying meaningfully, "You should think about how to explain what just happened when you see Grandmaster Xia Xue later."
The dignified woman asked in surprise, "You mean, Xia Xue noticed?"
Old Chen said helplessly, "You're underestimating the Grandmaster of Internal Energy. Besides, Grandmaster Xia Xue is not only a Grandmaster of Internal Energy, but also a Mystic Cultivator. Is it strange that she noticed your little tricks?"
Although the dignified woman was surprised by this, she was not flustered. She smiled and stood up, saying, "Perfect timing. The superhuman sent by headquarters has arrived. I'll take her with me to meet Xia Xue, this Grandmaster of Internal Energy and Master of Profound Cultivation."
Looking at the dignified woman who remained calm and composed, Old Chen showed an expression of appreciation.
It is precisely because of her mindset that she has been able to reach this position at such a young age.
"You're trying to use one tiger to devour another."
Old Chen smiled and made a joke.
The dignified woman deliberately put on a stern face and said, "Old Chen, be quiet. Be careful, the walls may hear you."
Old Chen smiled and shook his head.
"With such a distance and soundproofing materials, even a Grandmaster of Internal Energy wouldn't be able to hear it."
Xia Xue's ears twitched.
He heard every word of the conversation between the dignified woman and Old Chen in the range control room.
"That guy, is he Xia Jue's boss, or rather, his backer?"
Wow, they actually interviewed her personally, they're really giving her face.
"This is the dormitory area. The single apartments here are specially prepared for people with special needs. Youyou lives here."
Xia Jue led Xia Xue on a tour of the Black Shield headquarters, leading them into what appeared to be the best-looking apartment building. Xia Jue explained, "After you join the company, you'll be allocated an apartment as a benefit. As long as you remain employed by the company, it's yours."
Xia Xue nodded indifferently.
Seeing that Xia Xue was still uninterested, Xia Jue felt a little uneasy.
Does Xia Xue dislike real estate?
So, is she still going to give away that property?
Just as Xia Jue was about to say something, a scream came from the stairwell.
"Sister Xia Xue, I missed you so much! You've finally come to see me."
Youyou drove her wheelchair, three feet off the ground, and quickly flew up the stairs towards Xia Xue.
Xia Xue smiled gently.
"Youyou, we meet again."
Youyou, in her wheelchair, circled Xia Xue twice before stopping, excitedly asking, "Sister Xia Xue, what brings you to Black Shield? Do you have a mission?"
Xia Xue smiled and glanced at Xia Jue, but didn't expose her, and just said something along with Youyou's words.
"No, I just had some things to take care of at the company, and I happened to think of you, so I came to check on you. How have you been here? Has anyone been giving you a hard time?"
Youyou immediately seemed to see her parents and complained, "They won't let me make phone calls, they won't let me go out, and they won't let me eat snacks."
Xia Jue's face darkened.
"Not allowing you to make phone calls is to verify your identity. This is part of the work process. Once the verification is complete, you can naturally contact the outside world. Not allowing you to go out is for your safety. Don't forget, you said it yourself. Hellfire will definitely not let you go. As for not letting you eat snacks..."
Xia Jue took a deep breath and said, "Tell me, since you came here yesterday, how many snacks have you eaten? Have you had any proper meals? Eating too much junk food is bad for your health. We're doing this for your health."
Xia Xue looked at Youyou and shrugged, saying, "Look, they're just following the rules and doing this for your own good. Just bear with it for now. Once the process is over and the Netherfire has died down, you'll be free."
Youyou opened her mouth as if to say something, but in the end she sighed and said, "Okay, I'll wait. Anyway, as long as there are games to play, it doesn't matter where I am."
Suddenly remembering something, Youyou asked with concern, "Sister Xia Xue, what are you going to do? Can you take me with you?"
Xia Xue glanced at Xia Jue, shook her head, and said, "Today isn't suitable, let's do it next time."
Youyou glared at Xia Jue, then lowered her head in disappointment. However, she still nodded obediently, her voice noticeably lower, and said, "Okay, Sister Xia Xue, you must remember to call me next time."
Xia Xue gently ruffled the tuft of hair on Youyou's head and said with a smile, "I've got it."
Xia Jue led Xia Xue to the office building, to her office on the top floor, where she officially completed Xia Xue's onboarding procedures.
"You've been assigned to the Special Operations Section. Right now, you're the only one in the Special Operations Section. If nothing unexpected happens, Youyou will also be assigned to this department. You don't usually need to go on missions. We'll only ask you to handle missions that we can't solve. Such missions should be very rare. When there are no missions, you can live your lives as usual. I will try my best to ensure that joining Black Shield will not affect your lives."
Xia Xue smiled and signed the document.
"That would be perfect."
Just after signing the papers, Xia Jue was talking to Xia Xue about the benefits of Black Shield when Xia Xue's eyes turned toward the door.
"Your monthly salary is 20,000. Bonuses are calculated separately for each task you complete. In addition, you have an internal expense reimbursement quota of about 100,000 per month. This expense can only be made at designated shopping malls or the company's logistics department..."
Xia Xue tilted her head and reminded her with a smile, "Sister, we have a guest."
