Lin Baici, though he glanced at Xia Hongyao and the others, kept a watchful eye on Yi Jisheng from the corner of his vision. Moreover, the red clay figure was lurking in the nearby bushes, ready to strike the moment Yi Jisheng attempted to flee.

“Lin God!”

Fang Tianhua called out with a respectful tone.

“Tianhua!”

Lin Baici responded with a smile.

Everyone had been through several Divine taboo games together in the God’s Ruins at the provincial museum. Although Fang Tianhua’s strength was average, his character was solid, so Lin Baici had a good impression of him.

And his name, it was like Fang Tianhua’s halberd missing the last character, quite memorable.

Lin Baici figured Fang Tianhua must have often been questioned by teachers when he was young, given how attention-grabbing his name was.

“Little Lin, is this guy the main culprit?”

Xia Hongyao stopped beside Lin Baici, looking at Yi Jisheng with a shocked expression.

What is this thing?

“Holy shit!”

Fang Tianhua was dumbfounded. This couldn’t be human, right?

The other two colleagues had similar expressions, on high alert, but seeing Lin Baici standing calmly by, they too relaxed.

As expected of Minister Xia Hongmian’s personally recruited talent,

Reliable!

These two colleagues from the Security Bureau had never seen Lin Baici, but they had heard of him, as the bureau had been abuzz with rumors about him these past few days.

He had scored well on the college entrance exam this summer, and while returning thanks at the local temple after a meteorite fall, he stumbled into God’s Ruins and single-handedly broke through them.

Quite the show-off.

Then, on the train to university, he encountered the smuggling of Divine taboo items off the Lost Coast and, with his wit and courage, killed Black Shark the Third and Octopus Ball.

Next was the God’s Ruins at Palm Harbor.

The place was too close to Haijing, and if the God’s Ruins went out of control, the danger would be too great. But when Minister Xia led a team to break the God’s Ruins, Lin Baici purified it.

A one-man great breakthrough, incredibly strong.

By that time, Minister Xia had already offered the genius recruitment terms, and he said he’d consider it.

You should know that was a hundred million years’ salary, plus thousands of meteor coins. Many would have jumped at the offer, but he was unmoved.

A freshman, facing such temptation, with a terrifyingly mature mind.

Finally, this National Day, Haijing suffered a terrorist attack, the provincial museum was contaminated, God’s Ruins appeared, and Lin Baici played a major role as the main force.

Now, just having joined the job, he had dealt with the organ thief, with frightening efficiency.

Yi Jisheng’s face was a mix of embarrassment and awkwardness as he unnaturally twisted his body, trying to avoid the gazes of these people, because he didn’t like his organs being stared at.

Lin Baici took off his coat and threw it over Yi Jisheng.

“Put it on!”

The mist was almost gone, and Lin Baici didn’t see the big tent, only a large group of people lying in disarray in the distance at three o’clock.

“The rescue team has already rushed over!”

Xia Hongyao explained.

“Is Wang Hanxu dead?”

Lin Baici asked casually.

“Huh?”

Yi Jisheng was puzzled. What did he mean by that? It sounded like he hoped Wang Hanxu was in trouble?

“With such a commotion you’ve caused, if that guy doesn’t die, wouldn’t it be too much of a loss?”

Lin Baici disliked Clever bitches and hated playboys, especially Wang Hanxu, who broke up with his girlfriend right after making her have an abortion, clearly with no intention of marrying her, just playing with people.

Too despicable.

And Li Mei, who knows which honest man will take over that mess in the future.

Just thinking about it made him angry; why should the honest ones always suffer?

“He’s not dead, but his organs are damaged, making him more prone to illness.”

Yi Jisheng sneered: “For the rest of his days, he’ll be tormented by sickness every day.”

“Lin God…”

A tall colleague began to speak, ready to seal the Divine taboo with the Black Coffin to prevent further contamination, but he was quietly pulled back by a colleague before he could finish.

What are you asking for?

Really no tact at all, wait until they finish talking.

“It’s a Divine taboo, how do you usually deal with it?”

Lin Baici didn’t want to do the cleanup, but he was worried these people couldn’t handle it.

“Ah? This guy is a Divine taboo?”

“I thought his appearance was the result of some divine grace?”

“Terrifying!”

Fang Tianhua and the others were shocked, but Xia Hongyao, who had been following Lin Baici and seen much, was no longer surprised.

“Let’s go!”

Seeing everyone’s reaction, Lin Baici knew they had no plan to deal with a ‘Divine taboo’ like Yi Jisheng, so he had to take care of it himself.

Forget it!

A hundred million a year, which breaks down to over 8.3 million a month, with so much money, it’s only right to put in some effort!

“Hongyao, where’s Cai Wenqi?”

Lin Baici knew that girl was so eager for a reason, most likely wanting to become a Gourmet God hunter, but that required absorbing divine grace.

Lin Baici currently had divine grace, but it was too precious, and Cai Wenqi’s efforts were not enough to exchange for a single divine grace.

So Lin Baici planned to report Cai Wenqi’s ‘guiding merit’ to the Security Bureau to see if he could secure a cash reward for her.

If the Security Bureau didn’t provide it, Lin Baici would subsidize it himself; he wouldn’t let Cai Wenqi suffer a loss.

“She’s resting, don’t worry, the rescue team has taken over!”

Xia Hongyao gave an OK gesture.

All survivors who lived through the rule contamination would be taken to the Security Bureau for radiation cleanup and would be required to sign a confidentiality agreement to prevent the information from leaking.

Yi Jisheng followed obediently as Lin Baici and the others headed to the transport vehicle.

It hung its head, looking at the withered yellow leaves swept by the autumn wind on the ground, and suddenly asked, “What’s your name?”

“What for? Planning revenge?”

Fang Tianhua interjected.

Yi Jisheng ignored him and looked up at Lin Baici.

“Lin Baici, a freshman at Haijing Polytechnic!”

Lin Baici didn’t bother to hide it; after joining the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, the bureau would arrange for someone to protect the families of Gourmet God hunters, and from the Gourmet God’s review, Yi Jisheng didn’t seem like a thug.

“May I ask you for a favor?”

Yi Jisheng asked humbly.

“Go ahead!”

Lin Baici took out a piece of candy and handed it to Yi Jisheng, as sweet food is said to bring joy and reduce irritability: “As long as it’s not against morals and law, I can help you!”

“You’ll definitely search my rental, right? I hope you can protect my wives, don’t let them be touched by human hands!”

Yi Jisheng pleaded: “If it’s really not possible, could you find some females to inspect them?”

“Sure!”

This was a small matter Lin Baici could guarantee.

“Don’t touch them, okay?”

Yi Jisheng emphasized repeatedly, and after seeing Lin Baici nod, he thanked him and then remained silent.

More than ten minutes later, they got into the vehicle and headed to the Security Bureau.

“How long will I be detained?”

Yi Jisheng inquired.

Lin Baici looked at Xia Hongyao; he didn’t know the answer to that question.

“It depends on the situation!”

Fang Tianhua interjected, to be honest, he thought this guy would never get out in his lifetime.

A Divine taboo with consciousness?

Buddy, you’re probably going to spend the rest of your life in a lab.

“If I’m gone too long, my wives will get dirty!”

Yi Jisheng was worried and hesitated before speaking: “Lin Baici, can I ask you for another favor? Every week, I hope you can wash my wives’ bodies with mineral water!”

“During the washing process, please wear gloves, and try not to touch them.”

Fang Tianhua and the others frowned; was this guy sick?

“How to wash without touching?”

Xia Hongyao countered.

“Uh… what I mean is, there should be a cloth between Lin Baici’s hands and my wives’ bodies!”

Yi Jisheng explained.

“…”

Lin Baici was speechless; I’m not a pervert, why would I do anything indecent to your collection of mannequins from the mall?

“Although we are enemies, I believe in your character, you must not let me down, don’t do anything to my wives, okay?”

Yi Jisheng was very anxious; it had no friends and had been living alone since it became conscious. Just now, during the rule contamination, it witnessed Lin Baici’s performance and thought this man was decent, so it entrusted him with this task.

Lin Baici didn’t explain; he took out a new phone from the Black Cauldron, installed the SIM card, opened Taobao, and typed in silicone inflatable dolls, then showed it to Yi Jisheng.

“What’s this?”

Yi Jisheng only glanced at it, and his whole being froze.

Even though it was a human model made of plastic, at that moment, Xia Hongyao and the others clearly saw the muscles on its face twitch, revealing a shocked expression.

As if humans had just learned of the existence of aliens.

Swipe!

Yi Jisheng suddenly made a move, snatching Lin Baici’s phone.

The others, startled by its sudden action, drew their swords and prepared for battle.

“It’s okay!”

Lin Baici could tell that the creature was obsessed with human models; if it weren’t for the Li Mei incident, it would have had no interaction with humans.

“This… this…”

Yi Jisheng stammered.

“Want it?”

Lin Baici asked with a smile.

“Yes! Yes!”

Yi Jisheng, like a dog waiting to be fed, eagerly looked at Lin Baici, nodding incessantly.

“When you get out, I’ll give you ten!”

Lin Baici, seeing Yi Jisheng clutching the phone, reluctant to let go, didn’t immediately ask for it back, letting it have a look first.

Fang Tianhua was relieved that the creature didn’t fancy human females; otherwise, it would have been a big problem.

“I want this one!”

“This one is nice too, such pretty lips!”

“Wow, there’s even a black-skinned one?”

Yi Jisheng muttered to himself, completely immersed in these dolls.

“Good thing it doesn’t drool, or wouldn’t that be a disaster?”

A colleague muttered under his breath.

“Hey, I’m actually quite envious of it!”

Fang Tianhua lamented.

“Why?”

Xia Hongyao didn’t understand.

“Chasing girls is too hard, even though I’m a Gourmet God hunter, I might not get true love, because the other party might just be after my money!”

Fang Tianhua sighed: “Look at this guy, scrolling through the webpage, just like selecting a concubine, hundreds of dolls, for him to choose from.”

The transport vehicle arrived at the Security Bureau headquarters, and after entering the underground parking lot, Gourmet God hunters were ready and waiting. As soon as Yi Jisheng got off, they immediately put handcuffs made of the same material as the Black Coffin on it.

When Yi Jisheng was taken away, he kept shouting towards Lin Baici: “Please take care of my wives, don’t lay a hand on them!”

“And you promised me, when I get out, you’ll give me a hundred dolls!”

Yi Jisheng’s voice echoed in the underground garage.

“Lin Baici, the minister wants to see you!”

A female secretary in a light blue pencil skirt and a small suit jacket came over and looked at Lin Baici curiously while notifying him.

After all, he was a dragon-level prospect, on the same level as the superstar rookie Ying Baili.

“Lin God, you caught such a monster, the reward will definitely be substantial, you have to treat us!”

Fang Tianhua mustered the courage to chat with Lin Baici.

The team leader was dead, and he didn’t want to stay in the sad place of the ninth division, so he wanted to team up with Lin Baici. Following such a deity, he believed his own experience would accumulate quickly.

“Sure!”

Lin Baici thought about it; being new to the job, it seemed both reasonable and appropriate to treat everyone to a meal, so he looked at Xia Hongyao.

“There are so many people in the Security Bureau, you can’t invite them all, just invite our own division to eat!”

Xia Hongyao informed: “Usually, just treat everyone to a cup of coffee or milk tea!”

Actually, none of this was necessary, as the bureau would provide it for free.

“Our division? How many people now?”

Lin Baici wanted to ask, where’s my desk?

“From now on, we are the seventeenth division, currently just you and me. I was planning to set up the division’s personnel structure before notifying you!”

Xia Hongyao explained.

“Personnel structure?”

Lin Baici was surprised; did the high ponytail have this capability?

“Yes, each division has an annual activity fund, how much depends on the division’s contribution.”

Xia Hongyao chuckled, patting Lin Baici’s shoulder: “Whether you can make everyone in the division live more comfortably depends on your ability!”

This fund was at the division chief’s discretion.”…”

Lin Baici glanced at the three people from Fang Tianhua, “When you talk about this kind of thing, can you avoid mentioning it in front of others?”

It must be said, having a sister as a minister really gives one clout.

Despite Xia Hongyao’s not-so-high position, she could walk sideways in the Security Bureau without any issues.

“Go buy the best coffee for me, one cup for each colleague!”

Lin Baici ordered, since he was there, he might as well treat everyone.

This gesture, the social niceties, even if a cup of coffee wasn’t expensive, the thought counted.

“Okay!”

Xia Hongyao immediately went to run the errand.

Fang Tianhua had seen in the museum how Lin Baici ordered Xia Hongyao around like a servant girl, but the other two and the secretary had not, so they were somewhat shocked.

Aren’t you afraid that Minister Xia will make things difficult for you by doing this?

But then they thought about it, Lin Baici was under Xia Hongyao’s command, so they figured they might be overthinking it.

…

Thump thump!

The secretary knocked on the door: “Minister, Lin Baici is here!”

“Come in!”

Xia Hongyao’s voice came through.

The secretary opened the door for Lin Baici, signaling that he could enter.

“Thank you!”

Lin Baici walked in.

Inside the office, there was a strong scent of coffee. Xia Hongyao was working at her desk, still dressed in a white shirt with a red tie.

She looked both composed and capable.

“Sit!”

Xia Hongyao stood up, personally poured a cup of coffee for Lin Baici, and placed it in front of him: “What reward would you like?”
