Stronger with More Jobs

He turned his head to look at Lin Yu. "Sister Lin, let’s go, got work to do. When it comes to digging up info on people, we still have to rely on you."

A hint of helpless amusement showed on Lin Yu’s delicate face, but she still got up crisply. "Okay."

The two of them left the suite in a flurry.

Chu Kuanglan’s god-tier social skills seemed to have found perfect release in the City of Injustice.

With the Dawn Organization’s increasingly完善 intelligence network, the efficiency was sky-high.

In just two hours.

Chu Kuanglan and Lin Yu were back, holding a file that wasn’t very thick, but was detailed in content.

"Hey, Qingzi, we’ve got it all clear!" Chu Kuanglan slapped the file onto the coffee table, grabbed a glass of water, took a huge gulp, and started reporting, spittle flying.

"Wu Feng, male, 43, Martial Saint Late Stage Tier Three. Zhou Zhen, 39, Martial Saint Mid Stage Tier Three. The two of them have a life-and-death bond; they carried their lives on the line together at the Arctic Front."

Lin Yu picked up the thread, her voice clear and calm as she supplied details: "Wu Feng was indeed previously a member of the Federal Divine Management Bureau, under the Eastern Region ’Zhenhai’ Sub-Bureau. Back when he was Tier Two Peak, he’d served as the stationed captain of a local city. His record is clean, with plenty of Merit. The evaluation on file is: upright and fearless, worthy of heavy responsibility."

She paused, flipped to the next page, her fine brows knitting slightly. "As for why he left the Divine Management Bureau... the record says battlefield command error on the front line, causing the death of two teammates, twenty-seven years ago. There’s a ’questionable’ annotation after that entry. Through some special channels, we learned indirectly that the situation back then was very complicated. It wasn’t a simple command mistake—more like... he was made the scapegoat. Wu Feng has always brooded over this, became disheartened, refused all attempts to keep him or reinvestigate, and voluntarily left the Divine Management Bureau, coming to the City of Injustice."

"That time period." Lin Yu lifted her head and looked at Fang Qingyu. "Happens to be when Chen Wudi was rising to fame in the City of Injustice, practically being exalted onto the Human World’s invincible altar."

"Wu Feng seemed to admire Chen Wudi a lot back then. He tried to make contact multiple times, but Chen Wudi’s movements were erratic, and not long after, he mysteriously disappeared."

"Since then, Wu Feng has been shuttling back and forth between the City of Injustice and the Arctic Front, never joining any faction again, making a living by taking on hunts for Life Ghosts and escort missions, and occasionally helping the front line transport important supplies. His partnership with Zhou Zhen has quite the name in the City of Injustice’s freelancer circle. They’re called the ’Feng-Shi Duo’. Their reputation... is very good. They value loyalty, follow the rules, never bully the weak with their strength, and have never taken any heaven-outraging, conscience-less jobs."

"Zhou Zhen’s background is comparatively simple. He comes from a small Martial Arts Family in the Federation. After the family declined, he drifted his way to the Arctic Front. After getting to know Wu Feng, he stayed by his side ever since. He’s an honest type, but very reliable in battle, especially good at defense and protracted fights."

Chu Kuanglan added from the side: "We checked all their public and semi-public activities in the City of Injustice, including some underground black market transaction records. We didn’t find any signs of deep collusion with big forces like the Lingxiao Association or the Desolate Bone Corps. As for Heavenly Punishment, they’re not even in the same orbit. All in all, they’re just two clean freelancers."

Fang Qingyu took the file and quickly flipped through it.

The information was very thorough, including partial lists of missions the two had carried out, the main people they’d interacted with, and even their footholds in several key districts of the City of Injustice.

Just as Chu Kuanglan and Lin Yu had said.

Their records were clean, their behavior had clear bottom lines, and it all matched closely with what they themselves had said.

He set the file gently on the coffee table and let his gaze sweep over everyone in the living room.

"What do you all think?" Fang Qingyu asked.

Although when those two Tier Three came just now.

Old Chu and the others hadn’t spoken because of the difference in strength.

But they were the ones Fang Qingyu knew best. With two Tier Three about to join, Fang Qingyu naturally had to ask their opinion.

Chu Kuanglan was the first to speak. "Qingzi, I think these two brothers have honest eyes, and they talk straight. With the Merits they’ve got over in the Federation, they could probably snag a real-power School Officer post, maybe even a General’s rank. No need for them to come here slumming it and playing dumb just to scam us. I figure they’re here for you, for that drive you’ve got. They should be reliable."

Wei Banmeng’s cool voice sounded, carrying a rational analysis. "From the intelligence we currently have, the credibility is very high. They’ve been in the City of Injustice for years with no bad record and a good reputation."

"Though there’s doubt about why they left the Divine Management Bureau, considering the background at the time and their behavior since, they most likely aren’t actual criminals. Their strength is sufficient as well and will be very helpful for our current stage of development."

Lin Yu and Su Wanqing both nodded lightly.

Indicating they agreed with everyone’s assessment.

Jiang Wei didn’t speak; she just looked at Fang Qingyu, clear red eyes filled with silent support.

Her stance was very clear: Fang Qingyu’s decision was her decision.

Fang Qingyu pondered for a moment, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest of the sofa.

Everyone’s opinions were highly consistent; they were all inclined to accept.

He himself basically acknowledged the sincerity of Wu Feng and his partner.

"All right." Fang Qingyu finally made the call. "Then we’ll accept them for now. Old Chu, Banmeng, Old Lu, spend more time with them over the next few days and get familiar as soon as possible. Lin Yu, keep an eye on their movements through Dawn as well."

His gaze swept across the group, and his tone took on a slight gravity. "But remember, you can’t do without a guarding heart. The vigilance we should have, we don’t throw away."

"Relax." Chu Kuanglan grinned wide. "Leave it to me."

...

The second and third days of the elimination matches.

Passed in seemingly calm fashion.

Fang Qingyu and Jiang Wei still maintained their unshakable, all-win Golden Body.
