God-Like Extraction - Chapter 140
Chapter 140: Xuantian University
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Su Jingxing was willing to be a corpse collector because it was easier to extract cards as one.
But now, his extraction range had exceeded a hundred meters and the extraction time could be accumulated.
Being a corpse collector was not only a waste of energy, but also a waste of time.
Although Su Jingxing was already an official employee of the crematorium, he couldn’t apply for leave at every turn.
Corpse collection was different from other jobs. Once there was a corpse, they had to arrive on scene immediately.
Although he had a lot of free time, his freedom was greatly limited.
He had no choice in the past, but things were different now.
At this thought, Su Jingxing made a decision. He would find a chance to change his identity.
He had already thought about what job to switch to.
…
Tai Long Building.
The building of Tai Long Corporation’s Qinghe City branch was beside Tai Long Mall.
Presently, on the top floor of the building, in a spacious office,
all the senior executives of the Tai Long Corporation’s Qinghe City branch stood upright and silent.
In the office, there was only a refined and handsome middle-aged man sitting behind the boss’s desk. He was flipping through a document with soft rustles.
Behind the middle-aged man was a muscular man with brands of a sun and a moon imprinted on either of his cheeks. His sharp gaze swept across the entire office.
Under his gaze, all the senior executives of the branch felt chills go down their spines and their scalps turned numb.
The originally quiet office became even quieter. Even their heartbeats could be heard.
Slap!
A muffled thud broke the silence.
All the senior executives felt their hearts racing as cold sweat broke out on their foreheads. Their faces were pale and their bodies were trembling.
However, no one dared to utter a word. They simply stood in their spots and lowered their heads in silence.
“Is this all you’ve gotten done after Manager Ma Zhengyang died?”
Behind the desk, the elegant middle-aged man threw down the folder and looked up at the senior executives. He said calmly, “Why didn’t wasn’t Nie Renchou’s identity investigated till the end? There are so many things in the corporation that you weren’t handled either. I’m very curious, what have you people been busy with recently?”
Silence.
The office was dead silent. No one dared to speak.
“Why? Are you mute?”
The elegant middle-aged man pushed his chair back and crossed one leg over the other. He began coolly again, “What have you people been busy with? Can’t you tell me even that? Has this building changed its name? It’s no longer Tai Long?”
“N-No.”
The expression of a fat middle-aged man with a large head, big ears and a big belly said nervously, “This is Tai Long, of course…”
“Then who are you?” The elegant middle-aged man interrupted.
“We… We are from the employees of Tai Long.” The fat middle-aged man wiped the sweat off his face and stuttered, “C… CEO Tian, we have been investigating Nie Renchou’s identity all this time, but there has been no news. His corpse was left at the entrance of the crematorium and has long been turned to ashes. Without a corpse, have no clue as to where he came from or what his identity is.”
“As for what we are busy with, CEO Tian, you might not know since you just arrived. The Shi Family from the Western District of Qinghe City has been wiped out. Every faction is fighting over the assets they left behind. Although most of them have been divided up by the Li, Zhou, Qi and Wang families, and the Iron Thread Sect, the rest are still worth a lot of money…”
“So, you’ve been busy seizing territory?” the elegant middle-aged man interrupted again.
“…” The fat middle-aged man opened his mouth and replied nervously, “Y-Yes.”
“Well, in that case, I should commend you for earning more territory for the corporation.”
The elegant middle-aged man chuckled and said, “I just wonder how much you’ve seized.”
“Not… not much.” The fat middle-aged man smiled awkwardly. “Just… just half a street of shops…”
“That’s not bad.” The elegant middle-aged man nodded and praised them. “You guys did a good job. You’ve done a great job expanding the corporation’s territory. All of you have rendered great service.”
“Not at all, not at all. This is what we should do.” The fat middle aged man squeezed out a smile as he bowed and smiled apologetically.
“If I say you have credit, then you have credit. And credit should naturally be rewarded.”
The elegant middle-aged man raised his hand and smiled. “This reward will be delivered tomorrow or the day after. You will get it by then.”
“Ah?” The fat middle aged man was greatly shocked when he heard this, and his mouth gaped open.
The others also revealed looks of surprise. However, the group of people were no longer as frightened as before. Their faces regained color, although they did not know what the reward was.
“Don’t worry, you’ll know when the time comes.” The elegant middle-aged man kept them in suspense. “There’s nothing else now. You can leave and carry on with your own work.”
“Alright, alright. CEO Tian, we’ll leave now.”
When the fat middle-aged man heard that, he hurriedly lowered his head and bent down, retreating to the door.
The others followed behind and left the office as quietly as possible.
Everyone came out and closed the door.
“A bunch of pig brains.”
The elegant middle-aged man looked at the empty office and said coolly, “Not doing what they should do and doing a bunch of things they shouldn’t have done. Ma Zhengyang is a good-for-nothing, no wonder he was killed on the streets!”
At this moment, the elegant middle-aged man was no longer as calm and smiling as before. His face was filled with anger.
“Go and investigate.”
With a somber face, he said coldly, “F*ck this bunch of trash. I don’t know when we’ll be able to find the map. You go and handle this matter. I give you full authority!”
“Yes.”
Behind him, the muscular man with the brands on his face replied calmly.
“I’ll give you a direction to follow. Xuantian University.”
The elegant middle-aged man exhaled and said in a deep voice, “It’ll be easier to find the map if we go to Xuantian University!”
“Yes!”
“By the way, don’t make a big fuss when you go there. There are quite a few old fellows in Xuantian University who are quite powerful.” The elegant middle-aged man said calmly, “With them around, if you make a big fuss, you might just stay there forever.”
“Understood!”
…
The sky was high and the clouds were thick. The sun shone brightly in all directions.
On the main road in the center of Changyang Prefecture, three cars were driving at a constant speed against the breeze.
In the car in the middle was a young man with light golden hair. He leaned against the car window and looked at the scenery outside with a blank expression.
“Seventh Young Master, don’t worry. We’ve already confirmed it.”
Seated across from the young man was an old man with meticulously groomed hair and beard. He said in a deep voice, “After the final deduction of the data model, the location has been determined to be in Qinghe City.”
“It’s in Qinghe City, everyone who knows has long learned about it.” The young man said calmly, “Also, Elder Hu, how many times have I told you not to call me Young Master?”
“What else can we call you if we don’t call you Young Master?” A young girl with a ponytail asked playfully. “You are a Young Master after all. We can’t possibly call you Seventh Brother, right?”
“Sure.” The young man turned around and looked at the girl. He smiled and said, “I’m more comfortable with Seventh Brother than Seventh Young Master.”
“Tch, that’s for you, but not us.” The girl stuck out her tongue. “Seventh Brother is a no. How about Seventh Master?”
“Fine, spare me.” The young man raised his hands in surrender. “Seventh Uncle is still around. If I call myself Seventh Master, people will think that I want to replace him.”
“You have replaced him, Seventh Young Master.” Behind the girl, a strong man with a strong aura spoke in a throaty voice. “We haven’t lost yet. Let’s see who dares to look down on Seventh Young Master after we get the item in our hands!”
“Alright, you can say that here, but mind your mouths when we’re outside!”
The old man warned in a low voice, “Seventh Young Master’s affairs are top secret. If any of you leak them, I’ll kill you myself!”
“Yes.”
When the young girl and the others heard this, their expressions turned serious and they answered in unison.
“Uncle Hu, you’re doing this again.” The young man shook his head helplessly. “We are all on the same side. There’s no need to emphasize this every time. I believe everyone knows what to do.”
“It’s alright, Seventh Young Master. This is a necessary reminder in case we forget.” The girl stuck out her tongue and grinned. “I believe we’ll definitely succeed this time!”
“Haha, I hope to count on that.” The youth laughed. “It’s too early to speak about success now. Everyone knows it’s in Qinghe City, but no one knows exactly where it is.”
“Xuantian University!”
The old man continued, “According to our final analysis, the map with the information should be in Xuantian University!”
“Really?” The young man’s eyes lit up.
“It’s true.” The girl rushed to answer. “The map is at Xuantian University. We just have to go to Xuantian University to look for it. Of course, the Qinghe City’s Xuantian University branch campus is very big. It’ll be a little troublesome to find the map.”
“This is not a problem.” The young man waved his hand. “Locking on to Xuantian University will save us a lot of trouble. All that’s left is finding the map, things will be much simpler.”
“That’s true. Compared to the entire Qinghe City, Xuantian University is indeed very small.” The young girl gripped her fists in encouragement.
“So, we’re going straight to Xuantian University?” A brawny man with a large head touched his head and asked foolishly.
“Of course!”
…
Xuantian University.
In the principal’s office.
“Principal Liu, welcome, welcome, I was wondering why the magpies were chirping non-stop today1, turns out it’s because of Principal Liu’s arrival.”
Ma Shifeng, the skinny principal of the Xuantian University’s Qinghe City branch campus, held the hands of a white-haired old man in both hands and shook vigorously. His face was full of smiles.
“Haha, I have come to disturb Principal Ma.”
The old man’s face was flushed as he sat on the sofa under Ma Shifeng’s lead.
“How can it be considered a disturbance? I’ve long wanted to invite Principal Liu to come over to our side to give lessons to the students, but I just couldn’t. This time, Principal Liu, all our teachers and students can’t wait to welcome you,” Ma Shifeng said with a smile.
“Sigh, I’m ashamed.” When the elder heard that, he sighed and smiled bitterly. “I’m not afraid of Principal Ma laughing at me. These few years, I’ve been completely obsessed. I don’t bother with the affairs of the outside world at all, and I’ve missed and lost a lot. It wasn’t until some time ago when I was brought to my senses that I suddenly came to an enlightenment. At the mention of this matter, I’m really ashamed!”
“This is human nature, Principal Liu, you don’t have to blame yourself, I think that it’s a good thing to be able to realize your wrongs. As for the past, let it pass,” Ma Shifeng comforted.
“That’s right. I can only let bygones be bygones.” The old man sighed. “Although the past has passed, I don’t have the face to stay in the school anymore. While I can still move around, I want to go to the various schools and walk through them again, leaving behind my final footprints. Look, when I came to Changyang, I came to visit and obtrude on you, Principal Ma.”
“Not at all, Principal Liu. It’s the Qinghe branch campus’ honor to have you here.”
Ma Shifeng said seriously, “Principal Liu, don’t worry. In the next few days, we will certainly have you satisfied. We’ll have someone bring you around every corner of the school. We will definitely not let you leave with regrets.”
“Alright, alright.” The old man nodded repeatedly and said bitterly, “I really didn’t expect to have to trouble people when I’m already at this age.”
“Look, you’re getting at it again.”
…
The headquarters of the Ci En Bank’s Qinghe City branch.
Pa! Pa! Pa!
A warm round of applause sounded in the lobby of the first floor of the Ci En Building.
Hundreds of uniformed bank employees stood around them and clapped excitedly as they watched a group of people walk in from the main entrance.
“Look, everyone from the head office is so good-looking.”
“You hussy, who do you have your eyes on now?”
“Hehe, there’s no need to guess. It must be CEO Lu. Speaking of which, CEO Lu is already in the sixth-grade at such a young age. How impressive.”
“That’s right. No one in Qinghe City has reached the sixth-grade at the age of 20, right?”
“…”
Amidst the applause, the employees in the corner gathered and discussed in low voices.
The handsome man leading the group of people smiled and nodded to the two sides from time to time.
Finally, under the lead of the Qinghe branch leaders, they arrived at the top floor of the building.
“CEO Lu, this is Yunlong Tea. Have a taste.”
A smiling middle-aged man respectfully served the handsome man tea.
“President Wang, you don’t have to go through so much trouble.” The handsome man took the teacup and said with a smile, “I just came to Qinghe City’s Xuantian branch campus to participate in the exchange competition. I won’t be staying here for long. I came here today only on my father’s request. I also wanted to take a look at the situation here. I have no other intentions.”
“No, no, CEO Lu, your visit brings light to our humble branch. All of us have eagerly anticipated your arrival,” the middle-aged man said seriously. “We’re so excited. CEO Lu, please don’t say that.”
“Alright.” The handsome man resisted the urge to roll his eyes and did not say anything else. He took a sip of tea, put down the cup, and said indifferently, “This is my first time coming to Qinghe City. I wonder which places in Qinghe City are more fun?”
“For example, are there any outstanding attractions in Xuantian University?”
The handsome man paused and added.
“Um…” The middle-aged man faltered.” Um… there seems to be quite a lot, right? ”
“Is that so?” The handsome man raised his eyebrows. “That’s great. With so many places, this exchange competition shouldn’t be too boring.”
“Of course, of course.” The middle-aged man smiled.
Inwardly, he found it strange.
Fun places in Xuantian University?
There isn’t anything outstanding in Xuantian University, is there?
He wondered what this young CEO Lu from the head office was thinking.
He had come all the way to Qinghe City’s Xuantian branch campus to participate in some exchange competition.
How idle, seriously.
