Chapter 989: 0586 Promotion

"..."

I don't even need to doubt it, you stinky girl must be hinting at something!

Looking at the emerald-eyed girl who was stealing glances while asking, almost explicitly saying she didn't want to form a team with him, Li Ang's face turned black. He began to regret not taking the opportunity to clean her up more before, while the red-haired director opposite rested her chin on her hand and answered with a smile:

"This is definitely no problem. Although according to the Bureau of Cleanup's system, cleanup agents are best to act in groups of two to three, and newcomers must be led by senior cleanup agents for a few missions to avoid dying as soon as they come up."

"But for one thing, your level is far beyond ordinary newcomers, and you have many anomalous objects, so it is almost impossible to have any danger. For another, our Virgo branch has too few people. In the past, most of them were single missions, and you rarely leave the capital, so it doesn't matter whether you form a fixed team or not."

Phew... that's good, that's good...

"However, I still highly recommend that you form a semi-fixed team."

After looking at the emerald-eyed girl who was obviously relieved, the red-haired director blinked knowingly and said with a hint of teasing:

"For example, Li Ang is a very good choice. Although he hasn't joined our Virgo branch for long, he has taken on many extremely dangerous missions so far, and his completion rate can basically be counted as 100%, and he already has the... of a second-level cleanup agent."

"No, no, no, no!"

After answering four "no"s, Fei Liya, whose face changed drastically, shook her head frantically.

"It's fine to be alone. I don't need to form a fixed team!"

"Okay, it's up to you whether to form a team or not~"

After encouraging the emerald-eyed girl a few words and arranging her in the office diagonally opposite Li Ang, the red-haired director looked at her back as she left happily, showing a meaningful expression, and then smiled at Li Ang, who had a black line on his face:

"By the way, Li Ang, if I didn't see it wrong, your Li Ang value has made great progress recently and should have reached the standard of a second-level cleanup agent. There happens to be a promotion opportunity recently, so it's time for you to raise your level."

Promotion to second-level cleanup agent?

Li Ang pondered slightly upon hearing this. The contamination value of a second-level cleanup agent is about 11-30 points. And during the days he served as an envoy to the Kingdom of Krolok, he continuously "ate" three senior second-level cleanup agents, and even ate Director Scorpio for more than ten hours.

Although these souls were finally spat out and not really "digested" by him, the wild goose passed and left feathers, and the meat passed and left oil. His contamination value skyrocketed all the way, and his current contamination value had exceeded 16 points, so he could indeed consider the matter of promotion to a second-level cleanup agent.

"Okay."

After nodding slightly, Li Ang asked curiously:

"Director, besides the Li Ang value needing to meet the standard, there should be some other requirements to be promoted to a second-level cleanup agent, right?"

"There are indeed some standards."

The red-haired director pondered upon hearing this, and then answered with a somewhat strange expression:

"First is the recommender. Most second- and third-level cleanup agents are not allowed to act alone. Generally, they will be led by more senior first- and second-level cleanup agents. If you want to be promoted, you also need a recommendation from a cleanup agent one level higher than you in the fixed team, or the branch director of the branch where you are located."

"And although you have been on missions with Emma, Jerry, Nicole, Tom, and Peony, you cannot count as a fixed team, so the recommendation can only come from me, the branch director;"

"Secondly, it is the number of missions executed. The mission levels of our Bureau of Cleanup are divided into five levels from bottom to top according to the degree of urgency: Level 1 Accident, Level 2 Crisis, Level 3 Disaster, Level 4 Fall, Level 5 Doomsday."

"Among them, the fifth-level Doomsday missions are generally executed by Zodiac Directors, twelve directors, and the General Director. For example, the General Director who has been staying in the old land and hasn't returned is executing a fifth-level mission."

"As for the fourth-level Fall missions, they are executed by elite first-level cleanup agents, small branch directors, and Zodiac Directors according to the degree of danger. Like the Fallen Soul Abyss you participated in, and this time in the Kingdom of Krolok, they all count as fourth-level missions."

"And the last three levels of Accident, Crisis, and Disaster correspond to third-, second-, and first-level cleanup agents respectively. If these three levels want to be promoted, they need a resume of completing more than 20 missions of the same level, or participating in five missions of a higher level."

Good guy... recommendation from a Jōnin leader plus mission quantity limit. The person who set this rule wouldn't have watched Naruto, would they?

After complaining in his heart, Li Ang recalled the mission reports he submitted and said in surprise:

"Director, if calculated this way, then am I..."

"Excluding those missions that are not convenient to report, you currently have a total of 12 mission records, including 3 Level 1 Accident missions, 1 Level 2 Crisis mission, 1 Level 3 Disaster mission, and the remaining 7 mission records are all Level 4 Fall missions."

After counting Li Ang's mission records like a family treasure, the red-haired director looked at her beloved general who had full points in mission ability and trouble-making ability, and couldn't help but sigh with love and hate:

"Just in terms of the number of missions for a third-level cleanup agent, you have set a record in the Bureau. Even as long as your Li Ang value exceeds 31 points and you take my recommendation letter, you can go to participate in the assessment for a reserve branch director now."

"If I want to be promoted to a second-level cleanup agent, do I also have to go to the General Bureau to participate in the assessment?"

Li Ang frowned upon hearing this, and then said reluctantly:

"Director, I have been busy for more than a month before and after this mission, and now I just want to rest for a few days... How about I don't participate in this assessment, and go next time!"

"Eh? Don't!"

Finding that Li Ang seemed to want to give up, the red-haired director quickly persuaded:

"This kind of promotion assessment is only held twice a year, and if the number of people in the current period is not enough, it is possible that it will be held once every two years. If you don't go this time, you will have to wait until the second half of the year. If you are unlucky, you may have to wait another year or two."

"And besides that, the number of participants in this promotion assessment is the largest in the past 30 years. 61 of the 87 branches will send people to participate, and the total number of first-, second-, and third-level cleanup agents exceeds 400. It would be a pity if you missed it."

"..."

Understood, it turns out you want me to go and help you act cool...

Seeing through the director's plan, Li Ang couldn't help but complain speechlessly:

"Director, it's really not that I'm arrogant, but my situation is indeed a bit different from ordinary third-level cleanup agents

"Hey~ look at you, how can this be called bullying?"

Realizing that her intentions definitely couldn't be hidden from Li Ang, the red-haired director simply stopped pretending, blinked her eyes, and spread her hands with a feigned innocent look:

"The cleanup agents participating in the promotion this time have all been in the Cleanup Bureau for over a year, and there are even those old timers who have been taking the test for five or six years. Although your mission record is a bit outrageous, you've only been in the Cleanup Bureau for three months; you are definitely a little rookie, isn't it just perfect to take the assessment with them?"

"Tell the truth!"

"Several of the cleanup agents participating in the assessment this time jumped ship from our bureau..."

After pouting and stating the truth with an unhappy face, the red-haired director clenched her fist and swung it in the air, then viciously promised:

"As long as you go help me slap their faces, I'll give you a raise when you come back! The harder you hit, the more I'll raise it!"
