Chapter 601-602: The Document Processing Department in Star Marshall Hall; Making Random Stuff Up |
601: The Document Processing Department in Star Marshall Hall
Little Bun was almost four now and ran around playing like crazy every day. With Little White by his side, he was perfectly safe.
Some familiar classmates still helped Feng Wu take care of him every now and again.
In the last two years, the students at school matured a lot. The only one that remained the same, with her stoic, expressionless face, was Feng Wu.
Ming Xi graduated and the following year Tian Ya, and Elena left the school as well.
Though Feng Wu was promoted to the fourth years, most of the students who used to be in the same class as her were stuck in the third year. They were working hard in an effort to move up.
Going up a year in Xingguang Holy academy was difficult. It was common for a student to remain stuck in a grade for a year or two.
Fortunately, Feng Wu’s good friends, Jier and Ink both got promoted to the fourth year like her.
Zi Cheng and Ai Lin, of course, successfully advanced to the fourth year. Both of these two had strong cheats so it was impossible to not move up.
To deal with the monsters pouring into the human world and wreaking havoc, Star Marshall hall stepped up their recruitment from Xingguang Holy. Elena and the others all entered Star Marshall and started working right away.
Hua Jin’s reputation dropped and she became notorious for a while after it was discovered she stole half a map of unknown use and handed it to an outsider. After this, it was impossible for her to be considered a possible empress candidate.
Even the Moon empress, who had always loved her like a daughter, was completely disappointed in Hua Jin.
Someone found an entrance to the Demon realm not long after the map disappeared. The person wanted to enter, but a pity, he didn’t know entering the Demon realm wasn’t simple. The moment the entrance opened, a strong vortex erupted. It was so strong, let’s just say the only thing left of the person was a piece of skin.
When his identity came out, everyone learned it was the perverted Feng Yi.
Feng Yi made a deal with Hua Jin years ago. Although he never fulfilled his end of the bargain, he still demanded the map, and he threatened Hua Jin for it; if she didn’t want what she did to be made public, then she needed to get him the map.
The half she got for him combined with the half he already owned allowed him to find the treasure marked on the map.
Unfortunately, he was pulled to death by the suction of the portal the moment he opened it.
Feng Yi probably never imagined he would die in such a tragic way.
He died and left a mess for the Moon emperor to clean up.
The entrance to the Demon realm hung open. If it wasn’t resealed, an endless parade of monsters would flood into the human world. It would be a catastrophe of epic proportions, so huge it would surely make it to the history books.
The map was lost in the Ancient Silver Moon kingdom, so the responsibility lay with the Moon emperor.
It wasn’t easy to seal the portal and the difficulty was several times that of the Blood Moon forest enchantment seal.
The Blood Moon seal only had to do with the forest; whereas the portal had to do with an entire realm. In order to seal it, the Moon emperor overextended his powers to the point it would take him years to fully recover.
With such a disability, the Moon emperor felt it was time to pass the throne on to his son, Ming Xi.
Ming Xi became the youngest emperor of all the emperors in the four great empires.
That same year, the Sun emperor also announced his abdication.[omission]
With both Sun and Moon emperors abdicating, the rest of the world wondered if Heaven and Earth emperors were also going to abdicate soon.
Fortunately, this was not the case. The next generation of Heaven and Earth emperors were too young and still needed time to build their powers. Neither the current emperors would abdicate any time soon.
The new Sun and Moon emperors were both young men with promising futures, it was only natural they would be prime magnets favored by the ladies. A pity, one said he did not want to get married while the other said he already had a fiancée.
Although both emperors expressed their wishes clearly, the ladies were still so enthusiastic, they didn’t care and firmly expressed their determination to win the empress seats.
In order to not disturb Feng Wu’s peaceful campus life, no one knew she was the aforementioned fiancée. Feng Wu and Little Bun lived happily at school without anyone disturbing them.
In addition, when Feng Wu was promoted to the fourth year, someone came by to ask her to work at Star Marshall doing paperwork. This was obviously initiated by her brother.
Most of the work at Star Marshall hall involved fighting monsters; there were only a few jobs that weren’t hazardous.
For her brother’s sake, Feng Wu agreed to do paperwork.
At the same time, Jier and Ink also joined Star Marshall hall, Jier because he was an envoy, and Ink because he performed exceptionally well at school and was given a recommendation by the teachers.
Fourth year homework wasn’t heavy so the three youngsters all started going to Star Marshall hall as a part of their internship. This time, Little Bun insisted on tagging along. Feng Wu couldn’t dissuade him no matter what she said, so in the end, she had no choice but to bring him with her.
Both Jier and Ink were assigned to the combat department, while Feng Wu was assigned to the clerical department.
She went there with Little Bun, who was unwilling to leave her alone even for a second.
Working in Star Marshall hall was a rare opportunity. It would be difficult to find another person who dared bring their child with them like Feng Wu.
Feng Wu didn’t know this of course. She walked to the clerical area with her normal poker face.
Most of the people who worked there weren’t capable, or rather you could say they were lousy at combat. Upon entering the area, Feng Wu saw several men and women sitting by a table writing. A young man wearing glasses walked over after spotting her.
He smiled as he greeted her. “Are you Feng Wu? Welcome to the document processing department. Besides you, there will be two other newcomers arriving today. You can sit here while we wait for them. Once everyone is here, I will arrange your work for you.” Dai, the handsome young man with glasses, smiled amiably at Feng Wu, but Feng Wu only nodded her head indifferently.
He wasn’t bothered by it though, and the sincere smile remained on his face.
It was just that the smile was a little distorted when he saw a certain little toddler.
“Who is this child?” He pointed to Little Bun uncertainly. Was he hallucinating from overworking last night?
“This is my son, Feng Ye.” Feng Wu introduced.
“Your son! No. . . I mean why is he here?” It was the first time the young man encountered someone bringing their child to work. His entire body felt bad.
“He refuses to stay by himself, so he has to follow me.” Feng Wu said a little aggrieved.
Little Bun didn’t want to play by himself and kept pestering to come to work with her. Feng Wu finally agreed out of desperation. It felt like the older her son grew, the harder it was to communicate with him. Was he reaching that legendary rebellious period?
“Eh. . . ” The young man didn’t know what to say to this. Who would bring their child to work on their first day?
Anyone? Please find me a second.
No even if it wasn’t the first day of work, you couldn’t bring children into the workplace. This was a serious disregard between work matters and private matters. It needed a severe reprimand!
Just as he was about to tell Feng Wu that children were not allowed at work, a girl unexpected rush through the door in a whirlwind.
She had a high ponytail, a youthful face, and was wearing the overalls of a document processing employee. She was cute, especially with her big eyes and energy.
“I’m so sorry, I’m so sorry. It’s my first time in such a massive place, and I accidentally got distracted by the amazing scenery. Please forgive me. I really didn’t mean it. My brother will kill me if he finds out I got fired on my first day of work. Boss, please, you’ll be reasonable, right?”
The girl bombarded him before he could even open his mouth and only blinked a few times after she finished speaking.
The young man’s mouth twitched involuntarily.
“You are Han Xia?” The young man associated the girl in front of him with one of the profiles on file. In the file, under admission, it said she had excellent writing skills, a wonderful love of literature, and was that rare youth who was motivated in all things.
Whether she was excellent at writing, whether she truly loved literature, whether she was truly motivated, he did not know. He only knew that she was a dunce.
Thinking about Feng Wu’s admission reason, he recalled there were only three words: serious and responsible.
Didn’t she obviously get in through the back door? Did you have to be so stingy with your words? Couldn’t you write a few more to pad the file and make it look better? It was so sparse, he was embarrassed to show it to anyone.
602: Making Random Stuff Up
He hoped the last one wouldn’t be a weirdo. Although the document processing department did clerical work, the salary was good and the work didn’t require them going to the front lines and fight monsters. It was a cushy job, however, that didn’t mean they got good recruits.
“Yes, yes Boss. You actually know me! I am Han Xia, and my brother is Han Jiang, a clerk in the arbitration tribunal. He was the one who introduced me to this job. My hobbies are writing, painting, and singing. If Boss is tired from work, Boss can ask me to sing a song to relieve fatigue. I’ll sing for everyone!” Han Xia was a motor mouth without breaks who could talk nonstop.
Very good. This girl was not only silly, but a chatterbox as well. Han Jiang’s younger sister and her gentle and polite brother were two extremes on opposite ends of the pole.
At first, he thought Han Jiang’s younger sister would be like Han Jiang, a kind and scholarly elite who made people feel at ease. The young man with glasses never expected her to be such a tornado. If he had known this, he would never have agreed to have Han Xia in his department no matter how good Han Jiang talked her up.
“Enough, I know who you are. You and Feng Wu can rest for a while. There is one more person who isn’t here yet. Let’s just wait.” Just as he finished saying this, another person walked in.
This time it was a guy, a peppy, handsome, sunshiny, fresh-faced young thing. He couldn’t be more than twenty.
“I’m sorry, I’m sorry. I was so excited to work in Star Marshall hall that I couldn’t sleep a wink last night. As a result, I only fell asleep close to dawn and ended up oversleeping! Boss, I know my wrongs. I will definitely not be late next time. Please don’t fire me!” Sunshine boy pleaded his case with a pitiful expression to glasses boss.
“You are Zhao Yang.” The young man with glasses said the name of the fresh-faced youth with certainty. Even the name was suitable.
“Yes, yes! I am Zhao Yang.” Zhao Yang stood upright with a good attitude, properly admitting his mistake.
Compared to the wooden faced girl with her tag along son, and the incessant chatterbox girl who didn’t know how to stop, this young man was a sight for sore eyes. At this point, the boss didn’t care about Zhao Yang being late.
Somehow his standards dropped without him realizing it.
“Okay, you don’t need to say any more, just be careful not to be late again. Feeling uncomfortable on your first day of work is something everyone goes through. It’s understandable.” After speaking, the young man with glasses paused before continuing. “First let me introduce myself. My name is Wu Chang. I will be responsible for you during your internship for the year. What this means is I will arrange your daily work and evaluate your abilities at the end of the year.
If after the year is over, your evaluation is good or better, you can stay. Anything below will mean you must leave Star Marshall hall. I believe you were already briefed about these points by other people. As for what happens between now and then, I won’t say anymore on the matter.
Now I will arrange your work for the day. I have three blank documents in my hand. The files here will tell you where you are supposed to go to complete the records. Each of you can come over and take one.”
Han Xia, the most active person there, was the first to rush up and grab a file. Feng Wu was second. Zhao Yang, who was the only male in the group, naturally went last and took the remaining file.
There were three locations divided amongst the three files. All they had to do was go to the specified location and create the next record.
They didn’t dare linger after receiving their missions and immediately set off to where they were supposed to go.
Feng Wu took Little Bun to the location of the second team in the red group. Her task was to record the process of capturing the criminal.
This time they caught a woman who committed all kinds of bad deeds. The woman was an evil magician who specialized in absorbing men’s blood essence to improve her own magic. Her victims aged unnaturally and died a miserable death.
Nicknamed, Black Widow, she was amongst the top ten most wanted criminals in Star Marshall hall.
Star Marshall hall divided fighters into seven groups: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, black, and purple. Red was the lowest and purple was the highest.
Each of the seven groups were further divided into ten teams. There was no limit to the number of people on the teams, but the higher the group, the fewer eligible people there were.
Because it was Feng Wu’s first time recording, Wu Chang arranged a relatively simple task that wasn’t too dangerous for her.
Feng Wu found the second team in the red group easily. The people in the team knew she was their recorder and didn’t make things difficult for her.
The captain arranged for two people to be her bodyguards and to protect Little Bun.
In order to prevent the child from running around, one of the fighters simply hugged Little Bun to his body the entire time. It would be horrible if Little Bun ran off to the enemy.
The job of capturing Black Widow went smoothly as Feng Wu watched from behind with pen in hand poised over paper. She wrote a few words, then finished, closed the file folder and left.
The two guys who were tasked with protecting Feng Wu “. . . ” When has recording ever been that clear cut? There were only a few words on there. You must be messing with us, right?
When Feng Wu returned to the document processing department with the files, it so happened that Zhao Yang and Han Xia were also back.
The three walked to Wu Chang’s office to hand in their work together.
Wu Change calmly opened Feng Wu’s file bag first. He saw a few words written on it when he opened it. -Black Widow was successfully arrested through the joint efforts of the second red team.-
That’s all? Where was the rest?
Wu Chang reluctantly flipped back to the front, but no, he hadn’t missed anything. His face turned black. “Feng Wu, what rubbish did you write? You can’t be lazy like this!”
“I’m not lazy!” Feng Wu looked at Wu Cheng with accusing eyes.
He instantly felt like he was a jerk bullying a little girl.
Well, she is new and inexperienced. Don’t get angry; it will be fine in the future. “Your writing is too simple. It won’t work like this. Next time you must write the process in more detail.” Wu Chang coughed lightly; his tone was considerably nicer than when he started.
Feng Wu didn’t understand but she nodded obediently.
“It’s okay, Feng Wu. It’s your first time. It’s always like this when you’re inexperienced. If you don’t understand, just refer to what I wrote. Not to brag, but I am kind of a professional.” Han Xia stood with a confident smile on her face.
Since she was so confident, let’s take a look at her work. Wu Change put Feng Wu’s file aside and picked up Han Xia’s file.
Wu Chang spent a few minutes reading it over; as he did so, his face turned green. “You. . . tell me what this is!” If he felt a little angry when reading Feng Wu’s file, then after reading Han Xia’s file, he felt like he was about to vomit blood.
“The members of the third red team surrounded Bing Jì, and Bing Jì looked at the members of the third red team who surrounded her in a daze, the struggle and grievances written across her face.
The very handsome captain looked at Bing Jì with clear reluctance in his eyes. In the next second, while holding back the pain in his heart, he slashed at Bing Jì with his long sword.
Bing Jì dodged sideways, an expression of resentment on her face. Captain Chi San couldn’t bear to close his eyes, but he didn’t forget his responsibilities. He was a soldier of Star Marshall hall and his responsibility was to eliminate all monsters.
After a painful struggle, Captain Shi San finally captured Bing Jì together with his brothers, and when Bing Jì was arrested, the two gazed into each other’s eyes. . . ”
Everyone who heard the contents read aloud by Wu Chang stared agape in shock. One guy even dropped the food on his lips.
“Is there a problem with it? I think my writing is pretty good right? You see, there are fight scenes and literary scenes. I have full confidence in my work!” Han Xia thought about her writing as the file was being read, and she couldn’t see any problems.
“Where do you see that Bing Jì’s eyes had so many emotions? Bing Jì is an ice monster; her eyes are as white as ice and she has no emotions; she is cold from head to toe to heart!
Feeling wrong, dazed, at a loss? Are you sure you’re writing about Bing Jì and not the heroine of some novella. Then there is Captain Chi San, since when did he stare at Bing Jì with reluctance in his eyes? Since when did they gaze at each other? You can’t just make random stuff up as you like!
Take it back and redo it. Rewrite and then rewrite it again. If you can’t write it well, keep writing until you do!” Wu Change was about to vomit blood from anger.
What kind of person was she? To turn an archival report into a small essay. Han Jiang, that scumbag, said his sister was good at writing and loved literature. It was strange; if she was so good, why hadn’t they accepted her in the tribunal department and needed Han Jiang to beg for her to enter the document processing department. It turned out the direction of her excellence was in the direction of high drama fictional stories!
Wu Chang was so angry he tossed the file back at Han Xia. At this point, no matter how silly she was, she knew shouldn’t argue.
“Boss.” Han Xia felt extremely wronged. It was obviously a fantastic piece.
Close by, an older sister who had been working in the department for several years, called out to Han Xia. “Little Sister Han Xia, what did you do before you came here?”
“Me? I wrote short fantasy romance stories. Noble girls love reading my stories in their free time, and I’ve loved writing since I was a child.” Han Xia had an expression of great pride on her face as she said this.
