Chapter 141: Why is my profession panel in a 2D anime style? Chapter 59

~10 min read 1,949 words

Danika let out a long sigh, causing Cole, who was sitting at the workstation next to her, to glance sideways: "Captain, why are you sighing early in the morning? Is work that painful?"

Hearing this, Danika glanced at Cole, this top-tier workhorse, and just as she was about to say something, she saw him stand up abruptly as if he had seen a ghost: "Brother..."

"You're not dead!?"

Seeing him like this, Danika couldn't help but look back, and then she saw a somewhat familiar young man standing behind her.

It was Li Ang.

The expression on Danika's face immediately became colorful: "Li Ang, you're okay?!"

"Where have you been hiding these past few days?"

Facing the inquiry, Li Ang naturally couldn't say that he had gone to another world to avoid the limelight: "I was injured that day, so I just found a place to hide."

Not wanting to dwell on this topic too much, he continued to ask: "Is Director Marcus here?"

"He's here, in the office." Danika stood up and led Li Ang toward the director's office, "Why, do you have any clues to tell the director?"

She thought Li Ang had obtained some clues that night, which was why he was looking for Marcus.

Li Ang didn't say that he came today to quit the Public Security Bureau; after all, it was better not to tell others about such things before they were successful.

Soon, the two arrived in front of the director's office.

Seeing Danika preparing to push the door open, Li Ang said: "Captain, you wait outside."

Danika paused, then looked back at Li Ang: "Is the matter that big? Even I can't know?"

She said that, but she still let go of the doorknob: "Then I won't go in and disturb your and the director's two-person world."

"What you said is so disgusting, Captain."

Li Ang complained casually, then pushed the door and walked in.

And just after he entered the director's office, Danika stretched, nearly popping a button off: "This kid..."

She keenly sensed the anomaly in Li Ang.

Compared to before, Danika only felt that some terrifying monster was hidden under Li Ang's skin, which hadn't changed much.

Thinking of a certain possibility, her gaze flickered: "No way..."

On the other side.

After Li Ang entered the director's office, he saw a sturdy man with slightly red skin sleeping soundly with his feet on the desk.

"..."

Li Ang's eye twitched.

So the director's job every day is to take a nap after coming to work?

He stepped forward and knocked on the table, calling softly: "Director Marcus..."

Marcus jumped, nearly falling off his chair: "Who..."

After seeing the figure in front of the desk clearly, his brows raised: "You're back?"

"Tell me about what happened that night."

Li Ang didn't follow Marcus's lead, but instead started with his purpose for today: "Director, I'm preparing to quit the Public Security Bureau."

Actually, normal Public Security Bureau officers don't have to be as troublesome as him; if they want to resign, they can just go through the normal procedures.

But Li Ang was a mid-way recruit, having turned from a prisoner to a Public Security Bureau officer.

The condition for Danika to help him become a regular non-staff citizen back then was to work for the Public Security Bureau, and this item was also written in the contract when he joined.

The term was very long; under normal circumstances, he would have to work for the Public Security Bureau for ten years.

And wanting to resign was also very simple: just pay money.

It's just that for Li Ang, who only had 15,000 Star Coins left, this was undoubtedly an astronomical figure.

Therefore, if he didn't want to pay this money, he could only let the Public Security Bureau take the initiative to terminate the contract.

Hearing Li Ang's words, Marcus sat up straight: "Why? Have you saved enough money?"

As the director of the Public Security Bureau, Marcus naturally knew the situation of the young man in front of him.

Li Ang knew that in this situation, nothing was as effective as showing his strength, so he just silently lit up his golden pupils.

As dazzling pure golden light began to flicker in the depths of his eyes, Marcus's expression gradually became serious.

The deep-red-skinned Public Security Bureau director looked Li Ang up and down for a while, then smacked his lips: "I said, why did you hide for so many days without coming back? So you were trying to change professions."

"Good kid, you actually succeeded."

As a powerhouse who had reached the second energy level for a long time, after Li Ang lit up his golden pupils, Marcus could naturally perceive the anomaly in him.

That majesty...

Marcus always felt it was familiar, as if he had felt a similar aura somewhere.

Looking at the captivating golden pupils behind the desk, the Public Security Bureau director couldn't help but reveal a smile: "Alright, old people can't handle being scared."

As he spoke, he pulled open a drawer and took out a document, then signed his name on it: "Afterward, let Danika take you to handle the resignation procedures."

As he spoke, he pushed the signed document in front of Li Ang.

"But before that, can you tell me what happened that night?"

Seeing Marcus so straightforward, Li Ang naturally couldn't continue to hide it, and said directly: "Razor came to find me, and then Cade came to the door."

"That's it?"

"That's it."

"..."

Marcus couldn't help but frown.

Don't misunderstand; he wasn't dissatisfied with Li Ang only revealing so little information, but realized that the smuggling case ended right there.

Because after Li Ang disappeared that day, the Public Security Bureau found Razor's corpse in a nearby alley.

Clean and neat, killed with one blow.

The person who made the move was definitely a second-energy-level powerhouse.

Marcus released his hand from the document, signaling that Li Ang could take it.

Just then, he seemed to have remembered something: "Wait, you shouldn't have a place to live now, right?"

As he spoke, he took out another document from the drawer.

"The room you rented before has been bought by the Public Security Bureau; it's yours."

There's such a good thing?

This was Li Ang's first reaction after hearing Marcus's words.

And then the second reaction was whether this Public Security Bureau director was taking advantage of the situation again.

Considering that Odin's corpse wasn't very convenient to move, Li Ang chose to accept Marcus's kindness after a little thought.

He did know Marcus's intention in doing this; it was nothing more than using public property to release some goodwill toward himself, after all, there was no fundamental conflict of interest between everyone.

Not to mention that paying wages and bonuses for the Public Security Bureau earlier was also straightforward and generous, so Li Ang naturally wouldn't look for trouble for no reason.

Seeing his kindness accepted, Marcus couldn't help but reveal a smile.

However, seeing that Li Ang didn't leave immediately, he raised an eyebrow: "Anything else?"

"Yes." Li Ang said while grabbing a handful of bullets from his pocket, "The Public Security Bureau can try this kind of bullet; if it's easy to use, you can contact me."

After losing the identity of a Public Security Bureau officer, Li Ang naturally had to find a new way to make money.

Alchemical bullets were his next plan.

Of course, there were also high-end products, which were the beggar version of conceptual armaments.

That's right, after Lao Tang's guidance, Li Ang already had some ideas, but he hadn't succeeded yet.

Hmm...

Perhaps when he mastered space opening and could create a Nibelungen in the future, he might be able to undertake some construction of alchemy workshops.

Of course, for that kind of alchemy workshop, he would definitely leave a backdoor in it.

However, Li Ang always felt that he didn't seem much different from the construction contractor before his transmigration.

But making money, it's not shameful.

And just as Li Ang was letting his thoughts wander, Marcus was carefully examining the bullets in his hand.

For items taken out by a powerhouse of the same energy level as himself, he naturally wouldn't be negligent.

After a while, Marcus said with some surprise: "This is a craftsman-type prop, right? You made it yourself?"

"I know a little, I know a little."

Looking at Li Ang, who was pretending to be humble, Marcus couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

If he remembered correctly, the other party should be a combat-type profession, right?

He hadn't noticed before that the person in front of him actually had such talent in the field of craftsmanship.

Thinking of this, Marcus put down the bullets in his hand: "I'll have my subordinates try them, but you'd better not hold too high expectations."

"After all, if it's just you alone, the production capacity won't keep up."

"If you want to make money through this path, it's best to make it boutique."

These words were actually a bit too deep for their acquaintance.

Marcus didn't need to remind Li Ang at all; he could completely accept the bullets and then brush it off.

And his suggestion was indeed very sincere; for a craftsman to want to bear the entire Public Security Bureau's bullet consumption, it was a bit of a fantasy.

However, what he didn't know was that Li Ang had the "Heaven and Earth as a Furnace" skill, which was like a bug for a craftsman.

Therefore, Li Ang just shook his head slightly: "Thank you for the reminder, Director Marcus, but I have a way to solve this problem."

After speaking, he picked up the two documents on the table and left the director's office.

Seeing that he was the only one left in the room, Marcus's gaze flickered.

He naturally knew that Li Ang had secrets, but so what? Who among those who could walk on this path of professionals didn't have some secrets?

Li Ang had them, and he had them too.

Marcus felt there was no need to turn hostile with a powerhouse of the same level under uncertain circumstances; after all, the aura Li Ang had just emitted made him feel a trace of threat.

'This kid's profession is not ordinary...'

According to reason, a newly broken-through second-energy-level professional wouldn't give him this feeling at all.

But forget it, anyway, it didn't have much to do with him; if someone was really anxious, it would be someone in the city who was anxious.

Thinking this way, Marcus put his feet back on the table, crossed his hands, and entered a dream.

Outside the director's office, Danika leaned against the wall, nodding off.

"Captain, wake up."

Hearing the voice, she woke up from her dream abruptly, raising her head in confusion: "What happened?"

"The matter is resolved." Li Ang stuffed the document Marcus had just signed into her arms, "Now take me to handle the resignation procedures."

"Huh? Oh."

Danika led Li Ang toward the personnel department in a daze.

It was just that halfway there, she suddenly reacted: "Resignation?!"

The big-thunder-woman corporate slave turned her head sharply to look at Li Ang, nearly flashing her neck.

"You saved enough money?"

Before Li Ang could answer, Danika had already denied her own guess; after all, it was she who brought Li Ang to handle the entry procedures back then, so she naturally knew the difficulty of wanting to resign.

Then, there was only one possibility left.

"You're second energy level!?"

Only this could explain why their director would let him go so readily.
