Chapter 632

"Alright..."

Looking at the Taurus Director's resolute appearance, the red-haired Director couldn't help but sigh, completely dispelling this unrealistic idea, and settled for the next best thing:

"Then can you change our performance ranking for this year? If this matter is also counted, even if our Virgo Bureau isn't first, it should be close, right?"

"This... how about counting it for next year?"

Completely not expecting her to be thinking about this, the Taurus Director hesitated and said:

"The performance slate has already been issued, and the only Director with the authority to adjust the ranking is away. It's not usually troublesome to change it now..."

"Then I won't change the ranking, can you add a note?"

"Ah? How to add a note?"

"Just temporarily change the name of our Virgo Branch."

Unable to bear the shame of working diligently for a whole year only to end up at the bottom of the performance list, the red-haired Director suggested with anticipation:

"As long as the name is changed from 'Virgo Branch' to 'Virgo Branch (Actually First)', then our ranking on the performance slate will be displayed as 'No. 87, Virgo Branch (Actually First)', so it won't count as us being at the bottom... Will that work?"

"......"

It's a pity you can come up with such a crooked method...

After opening her mouth speechlessly, feeling that if she didn't agree, she would be letting down this "hero," the Taurus Director had no choice but to sigh and nod, allowing the Virgo Branch's crazy operation of temporarily changing its name.

When the red-haired Director took a chisel and happily went to chip at the performance slate, the Taurus Director turned her head to look at the Lion Bureau Director and asked:

"How about you, Beverly?"

"My request is the same as before."

Beverly, who had already thought about what she wanted, smiled and made her request:

"I hope you can find someone to act as Director for me for a month, and then send me to the God of Sweets' Divine Kingdom to let it make snacks for me to eat for a month."

"Alright, you can set off tomorrow."

After hearing the identical requests from the "Crazy Eating and Drinking Duo," the Taurus Director couldn't help but laugh, nodded directly, and then looked at Li Ang with kind eyes:

"How about you, Li Ang? What request do you have?"

Li Ang hesitated upon hearing this, and then tentatively said:

"For me... can I make a few more requests?"

"Of course you can."

Unlike the two Directors whose contamination values reached 70 points and who had no desires other than gluttony, Li Ang, as a Level 3 rookie, only wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible.

And he already had enough powerful anomalous objects, to the point of not being able to use them all, and the increase in contamination value was not something that could be done overnight. The only things that could still be improved quickly were his badges and the secret arts he had just obtained, so...

"My first request is... can I borrow that bead of the God of Wine?"

Looking at the Taurus Director's slightly furrowed brows, Li Ang hurriedly explained:

"I don't want to ask for that bead for the Director, I just want to taste it myself, and I definitely won't drink too much. I only need one sip of each wine brewed."

Only one sip of each?

The Taurus Director said with some confusion:

"Why only one sip?"

Because one sip is enough to complete the collection and allow the 【Wine Country Martyr】 badge to advance.

Looking at the brilliant golden 【Wine Country Martyr】 on the badge panel, Li Ang's heart was filled with anticipation.

To advance the Gold-level 【Wine Country Martyr】, one needs to taste 1,000 fine wines of "Craft" level or above, 100 of "Vintage" level or above, 10 of "Mellow" level or above, and one of "Drunken" level or above.

This condition was too difficult. He had accompanied the Director to drink several times, but hadn't even completed one-tenth. But if that bead of the God of Wine was really that magical, maybe he could fill up the 【Wine Country Martyr】 in one go and directly advance to the variant badge 【Wine Immortal】!

That's a variant! How fierce a badge is at the variant stage can be seen just by looking at the 【Materialist】 badge, which is also a variant. Its effect is comparable to the top anomalous objects. Facing the opportunity to brush out a second variant badge, all other rewards have to step aside!

"Actually, I also quite like drinking, but I don't like getting drunk, just tasting the flavor, so one sip of each is enough!"

Li Ang, eager to get the second variant badge and worried about being dragged down by his own alcoholic Director, simply swore:

"Taurus-sama! You don't have to worry, I guarantee I will only drink it myself this time and definitely won't share it with our Director! Not even a sip for her!"

"......"

Looking at Li Ang, who sold out Olivia without hesitation just to be able to drink, the Taurus Director couldn't help but sigh.

Sigh... he looked like such a good child before, but it's a pity he fell into Olivia's hands and was taught badly by her.

This child's physical fitness is average now, and his alcohol tolerance is relatively low. Once his physical fitness improves in the future, he will probably be another big alcoholic who doesn't lose to Olivia...

"Alright then..."

After rubbing her brows with a headache, the Taurus Director said helplessly:

"You must keep your word and not share it with Olivia. She really needs to quit drinking. If she keeps drinking like this, she will eventually mess things up."

"Mm-hmm! I guarantee I won't give her a single sip!"

"Then I'll have someone send the bead over in a few days... What are your other requests?"

"For the second request... I want to touch the Aquarius Star Palace."

"???"

Looking at the Taurus Director, whose expression suddenly became solemn, Li Ang hurriedly explained:

"You know, my ability is to obtain information by touching, and I just obtained knowledge about the anomalous creation secret art, so..."

"So you want to try and see if you can figure out how to get the Star Palace's approval through touch, and then learn the Aquarius secret art?"

After roughly understanding Li Ang's idea, the Taurus Director said with some difficulty:

"This is a bit troublesome... The Star Palace that carries the twelve secret arts is huge in volume, and they are all Zodiac Star Palaces, usually moving around the sun, so you definitely can't get there.

Although Directors can rely on their own authority to temporarily summon a small part of the corresponding Star Palace, the status of this thing is very high. Although it can't compare to the Watchtower Palace, it is still above most True Gods. Are you sure you can touch it?"

"Although I'm not sure, I still want to try..."

Knowing that the Taurus Director is a genuine "good person" and a saintly personality willing to burn herself silently for all of humanity, Li Ang revealed a little bit of his bottom line and tentatively said:

"Taurus-sama, I feel that the status of my anomalous object is probably quite high, maybe I can really touch something out.

And I guess our Bureau doesn't seem to have fully mastered the information about the Star Palaces? If I can really touch out some information, maybe more people can master the secret arts, which is also a good thing."

"......"

If you put it that way... that's true...

"Alright! I agree!"

After frowning and pondering for a while, the Taurus Director nodded slowly, persuaded by Li Ang's proposal, and then said earnestly:

"The corresponding Star Palace can only be summoned by the corresponding Director. Now that Aquarius has defected, the corresponding Star Palace has also been sealed by the Director, so I can only summon a part of the Taurus Star Palace for you to try and touch.

Li Ang, if you really find a way to learn the corresponding secret art directly without the Star Palace's approval, I won't speak for other secret arts, but I guarantee I will teach you the 'Anomalous Forging' secret art of the Taurus lineage myself! I will teach you as much as you can learn!"
