Chapter 177

181. Chapter 181: The joy of reunion after a long separation? No, it's a refusal

"Report."

The head of the Medical Department stood up abruptly, requesting to speak.

"Speak."

Wizard Paro was not surprised at all.

The Medical Department had been severely humiliated by the Pharmacy Department this time; if they didn't take some action, they would be looked down upon.

"The Medical Department requests to send someone to accompany the team."

The head of the Medical Department said solemnly, "Resolutely complete the mission!"

The face he lost, he had to pick up himself.

On the topic of large-scale fairy mutation, the Medical Department, especially he as the head and the two deputies, had lost all face.

So they had to earn back the lost face on this very topic.

The Pharmacy Department, or rather that little guy named Lin Ke Grande, had already done all the research that could be done in the laboratory.

The data obtained was very detailed, and the results obtained were very rich.

It had almost completely closed off the laboratory track.

Therefore, if they wanted to earn back face, they could only find a way to make up for it through field investigation.

The Medical Department could not allow the Intelligence Department to exclude them just like that.

Wizard Paro still didn't give an order directly, but looked at the head of the Intelligence Department, Asande Cornett, and said: "You discuss it among yourselves; I don't look at the process, I only want the results."

"Yes."

Asande and the head of the Medical Department responded loudly at the same time.

"Dismissed."

Since becoming the Legion Commander, Wizard Paro had been accustomed to being decisive. After dropping a sentence, he stood up and left the conference room.

The head of the Attendant Office followed closely immediately.

Today's meeting minutes, no matter how brief, had to be reviewed by Wizard Paro first.

Many department heads and deputies stood up in unison, watching Wizard Paro walk away.

Immediately after, I don't know who took the lead, but a burst of laughter erupted suddenly.

The laughter was loud, completely unrestrained, and carried very far.

The meaning behind it was self-evident.

In this emergency meeting, the only one who lost face was the Medical Department.

Everyone knew who was being laughed at.

The head of the Medical Department's old face turned red, his lips moved a few times, and he muttered something about how it's inevitable for people to misjudge things sometimes.

The atmosphere in the conference room became even more cheerful for a while.

Mofei didn't feel cheerful; he only felt it was noisy.

This trip to the forward command post had earned him merit, and the Medical Department's face had been slapped.

But why did he feel so uncomfortable?

After spending more than a week fully supporting Lin Ke Grande's research, the result was that he was being seconded?

The pharmacy R&D and refining business of the Pharmacy Department was about to restart, and the departure of a capable general at this critical juncture would have a huge impact.

The Pharmacy Department now says it has two groups, but in reality, it's just a single seedling.

Without pharmacy R&D specialists and pharmacists, how would the Pharmacy Department's business unfold in the future?

No, it can't just end like this.

He had to scrape some oil and water from the Medical Department.

Mofei gritted his teeth, slammed the conference table hard, his big eyes bulging as if they were about to pop out, and his voice was so loud it was about to deafen people, roaring:

"No! My Pharmacy Department does not agree to the Medical Department accompanying us. If the Medical Department sends someone, the Pharmacy Department won't send anyone, unless..."

"If the Pharmacy Department doesn't send anyone, then don't, I'm not afraid of you..."

The head of the Medical Department didn't lose his momentum, directly retorting to Mofei.

But before he could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Asande.

Only hearing Asande say in a tone that was light but incomparably firm:

"The Intelligence Department must second Lin Ke Grande; he is currently the person in the legion who understands fairies the best and is indispensable for this behind-enemy-lines reconnaissance and combat."

This sentence slapped the Medical Department in the face twice in a row.

One was to veto the harsh words of the head of the Medical Department, and the second was to negate all the previous research on fairies by members of the Medical Department.

As a senior, the chest of the head of the Medical Department heaved violently, his breathing was heavy and long, and he was truly angered to death by this junior who didn't respect seniority.

Is that how you talk?

Huh?

Stabbing someone in the lungs directly in front of so many people.

Can't you be a bit more tactful?

Asande deliberately and kindly gave the head of the Medical Department time to buffer before continuing:

"The Intelligence Department does not oppose the Medical Department's plan to send someone to participate in this behind-enemy-lines operation in principle, but Head Salosaer might want to listen to Head Murphy's opinions or suggestions before making a decision."

The head of the Medical Department, Bolo Salosaer, a third-rank wizard, had no other way in this matter.

He could only "obediently" follow Asande's suggestion and listen to Mofei's opinions or suggestions.

Mofei didn't feel happy after getting Asande's help.

In the end, this was just a tacit transaction.

In exchange for not obstructing the secondment of Lin Ke Grande, Asande helped Mofei tear a piece of meat off the Medical Department to compensate for the loss.

But since this powerful junior who came from behind had done so well, could he, an old senior with no prospects, drop the ball?

Mofei immediately put on a posture of not accepting bargaining and said:

"I don't want much, just 5 pharmacists and 3 pharmacy R&D specialists to barely support the normal operation of the Pharmacy Department while the little guy is away. Bolo, if you hesitate for even one more second or try to bargain, I'll add another condition. I'll give you ten seconds to consider, yes or no, give me a straight answer."

Bolo Salosaer and his two deputies looked at each other and made a decision instantly.

"We agree. The personnel will come to report to you tomorrow."

He snorted, agreed to Murphy's lion's share, and then said, "Next is our Medical Department's internal affairs; I hope you don't interrupt."

"No problem."

Mofei waved his hand and agreed directly, but also dropped a sentence, "Once the people are sent to the Pharmacy Department, they belong to me. If there is any slacking off during this time, my Pharmacy Department will punish them, which is also an internal affair of the Pharmacy Department; I hope you don't interrupt."

Just sending a few people, what tricks could the Medical Department play?

If they dare to play tricks, Mofei dares to bury them.

"Fine."

Bolo Salosaer squeezed a word out of his nasal cavity and endured the humiliation of being relentlessly pursued by Mofei.

He took a few deep breaths and adjusted his mindset.

"Loken Mote."

He said a name syllable by syllable and then said, "The staff member our Medical Department is prepared to send is Wizard Loken Mote. I think with his seniority and ability, he is absolutely qualified to join the Intelligence Department's behind-enemy-lines reconnaissance team, right?"

"No problem."

Asande didn't refuse and agreed immediately.

Wizard Loken was indeed a member of the Medical Department.

It's just that his status was relatively special; he was just a nominal member.

With Loken's fan-sized hands and his habit of dislocating people's shoulders at the slightest disagreement, how could he handle pharmacy refining and R&D that requires precise operation and super patience?

Loving pharmacy was just an excuse for Loken to get close to Wizard Celine.

It's a pity, the flowing water has feelings, but the falling flowers have no intention.

Wizard Celine had always treated Wizard Loken as a silly little brother.

She had never given the slightest feedback on romantic feelings.

Moreover,

who doesn't know that Wizard Celine's heart is firmly tied to Wizard Paro?

It was only someone as reckless as Loken who dared to blatantly express his love for Wizard Celine.

He wasn't afraid of offending Wizard Paro in the slightest.

The topic has drifted; let's get back to business.

As one of the very few senior second-rank wizards who took the body-refining wizard route in the Rivose Biology and Medical Academy, Loken's frontal attack capability was terrifyingly strong.

A full-force punch could shatter a small hill a hundred meters high; just say if that's fierce enough.

With Loken's charging and breaking through, the last flaw of the Intelligence Department's special operations team was instantly filled.

Coupled with Lin Ke Grande, a genius with super-high talent in biological research and pharmacy R&D, this mission shouldn't be too difficult.

Asande Cornett was full of confidence in successfully completing the mission.

It's just that the relationship between Loken and Lin Ke was a headache.

Hopefully, during the mission, Loken won't cause any trouble.

Mofei received compensation.

Well... I can't say he was happy, I can only say he wasn't too uncomfortable.

In the field of research, it's not a rare phenomenon for one person's role to be worth ten, or even a hundred, or even more people; it's very common.

Mofei was actually quite worried that the manpower he got from the Medical Department wouldn't compare to Lin Ke Grande's work efficiency.

But things had reached this point, and there was nothing to regret.

Let it be.

Sighing, Mofei didn't want to stay in the conference room, or even in the forward base, and left soon.

To avoid bringing up sad things again, Mofei didn't even go to notify Lin Ke personally.

Regarding the Intelligence Department forming a behind-enemy-lines reconnaissance and combat team and seconding him as a biological consultant and medical expert, he just sent an "email" to explain it.

Lin Ke woke up from his sleep, feeling refreshed and in a pleasant mood, and then received this "email."

After reading it, the expression on Lin Ke's face was quite strange.

He couldn't quite understand why Asande Cornett, whom he had only met twice, would specifically make a request to second him to Wizard Paro in person.

For secondment between departments, going through the secondment procedure with the consent of the leaders of both departments is basically enough.

If he couldn't understand it, he wouldn't think about it.

Since Wizard Paro didn't veto it on the spot, it proved one thing.

That is, Asande is Wizard Paro's direct subordinate, is trustworthy, and couldn't intentionally harm Lin Ke.

Therefore, this secondment could be completely agreed to.

It just so happens that Lin Ke actually still had a few doubts about the enhancement mechanism of the aberrant fairy's innate abilities that he hadn't figured out.

Solving these few doubts might allow Lin Ke to integrate a set of techniques or potions suitable for wizard apprentices and first-rank wizards to strengthen their bodies.

As for the specifics, it depends on the harvest of this behind-enemy-lines reconnaissance and combat.

"I agree to the secondment."

Lin Ke dialed Mofei's communication and said straight to the point.

"I know."

Mofei's voice lost its usual vigor and sounded a bit muffled, "I knew you kid would agree, it's really..."

As he spoke, Mofei sighed and didn't finish his sentence.

Revealing a thick feeling of reluctance.

Lin Ke curled his lips.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes; what kind of ghost stories are they playing?

If you say he's reluctant, Lin Ke guesses Mofei is definitely reluctant to part with a good worker like him, but as for how reluctant, that's a matter of opinion.

At least they worked together once, the cooperation was quite pleasant, and he might return to the Pharmacy Department to work in the future, so Lin Ke didn't show anything unusual.

He operated the smart brain a few times, brought up a pharmacy R&D and refining schedule, and sent it over.

This was something he did while resting during his fairy mutation research to change his mind.

Following this schedule to develop business, the Pharmacy Department wouldn't be brilliant, but it definitely wouldn't end up as unbearable as before.

Mofei took a look at the schedule and accepted it happily.

Once the personnel from the Medical Department arrive, he will use this schedule to supervise the work.

As long as they don't die from exhaustion, work them to death.

There was nothing to talk about, and the communication was hung up soon.

Lin Ke looked around the dormitory and began to pack his bags.

The "email" stated very clearly that the Intelligence Department was going to form a special team to go deep behind enemy lines for reconnaissance and combat.

Therefore, apart from the necessary wizard tools, he couldn't carry too many things; it couldn't affect the action.

Lin Ke's position was biological consultant and medical expert; he just needed to prepare more in these two aspects.

Before long, Lin Ke packed his bags.

The things just filled a large backpack.

The secondment notice from the Intelligence Department arrived soon, telling him to wait outside the Pharmacy Department in ten minutes, and someone would come to pick him up.

Lin Ke picked up his backpack, left the dormitory, crossed the small courtyard, and came directly to the front door, standing next to the crooked doorplate.

"Get in."

An off-road vehicle with an arrogant aura drifted and stopped in front of Lin Ke.

The driver's side window rolled down, revealing the frivolous face of Asande Cornett.

Lin Ke threw his backpack into the back seat and then sat in the passenger seat.

The off-road vehicle started, and the speed was fast.

After careful consideration, Lin Ke turned his head to look at this head of the Intelligence Department who seemed very frivolous in speech and action but was actually a senior second-rank wizard, and asked his own doubts: "Mr. Cornett, I'm actually quite curious why it's always you who comes to pick me up. I'm just a small first-rank wizard; it shouldn't be enough for you to put aside the Intelligence Department's work and come to pick me up specifically, right?"

Asande chuckled, extended his right index finger, pointed at Lin Ke a few times, and teased: "It's often said that beauties don't know they are beautiful; I think you kid also have some of that meaning.

A small first-rank wizard? Now, throughout the legion, who would treat you as a first-rank wizard?

You have only been in the legion for half a month, and you have successively done two major things, each more high-end than the last, each with greater influence than the last.

Let alone me, a fake head, coming to pick you up, even the two big bosses of the Intelligence Department wouldn't underestimate you."

Lin Ke asked along the way: "Then why, from the beginning, was it you who picked me up?"

This was the question Lin Ke really wanted to ask.

Asande's face twisted for a moment before he told the truth: "Renee Clark and I are about to form our family, and Iris insisted on begging me to take good care of you."

Hearing this, Lin Ke's face also twisted a bit.

This mouthful of soft rice was eaten quite unexpectedly!

The two fell into silence, and the atmosphere in the car was also a bit strange.

Fortunately, they soon arrived at the portal.

Each got out of the car.

Lin Ke took his backpack from the back seat and saw the scene of the high-end transport vehicle "size as you wish" again.

The off-road vehicle was shrunk to the size of a toy model by Asande with a casual wave, flew into Asande's hand, and was tucked into his pocket.

"Let's go, it won't be long before you have one too. Your report this time is of great value; Wizard Paro will definitely reward you."

Asande saw Lin Ke's love for the off-road vehicle that could be big or small, said with a smile, and walked into the portal with the coordinates set first.

Lin Ke followed closely behind.

As if passing through a water curtain, Lin Ke instantly went from the Barren World, which was mainly withered yellow, to the Fairy World, which was mainly various greens.

The portal of the forward base is located in the very center of the camp.

With the portal as the origin, two main roads, one vertical and one horizontal, divided the camp into four major areas.

The Intelligence Department is located in the core position of the Northeast District.

Walking out of the portal area, Asande immediately unfolded the miniature off-road vehicle and drove Lin Ke to the Intelligence Department station.

The special team establishment has always been complete and does not need to be assembled separately.

This time, only two extra people were added.

Loken was always at the forward base, and once Lin Ke arrived, everyone was complete.

The car stopped, Lin Ke carried his backpack, and followed Asande to meet with the others of the special team.

From afar, a familiar, tall, and strong figure caught Lin Ke's eyes.

The tall and strong man was Wizard Loken, whom he hadn't seen for a long time.

Only seeing Wizard Loken open his arms, laughing and greeting him.

It looked like they were very familiar with each other, and it seemed he wanted to give Lin Ke a hug of reunion after a long separation.

However, his posture, movements, and expression all clearly radiated intense malice.

Flandre, who had been on alert through Lin Ke's vision, was stimulated by Wizard Loken's malice.

Thinking that the other party would threaten the safety of the master, she directly activated the magic-modified natal wizardry "Armor Orchid Battle Armor."

Lin Ke had no time to stop it, nor did he think about stopping it.

An Armor Orchid emerged from between his eyebrows, clicked a few times, and instantly put battle armor on Lin Ke, completing the transformation.

Looking so fully armed and ready for battle.

It was as if he were roaring, "Don't come over here!"

The atmosphere of the Intelligence Department changed instantly.

It became a bit subtle.

A bit awkward.

Thanks to book friend 160326190209170 for the reward, thank you!
