Chapter 146 Joining the Association

The voice in my head suddenly appeared.

Then, right before Fang Yue and Association Head Qian's eyes, a scale on the wooden goldfish abruptly turned into sawdust, scattering into Association Head Qian's palm.

Fang Yue: ……

Association Head Qian: ……

"...Tell the parchment to stop predicting things. Maybe one day I'll need Leap Through the Dragon Gate to save my life."

"Uh… I'll manage her…"

After Fang Yue told the parchment to be quiet, he began to reflect.

Did I think too highly of the Association? It turns out the parchment is the Boss!

Before joining the Association, Fang Yue always thought he'd be the one getting the short end of the stick.

But now he realizes, it's the strange object on the other side that's screaming: Don't come over here!!!

This is really… hard to describe.

Next, Fang Yue chatted with Association Head Qian for a while, confirming the welfare benefits and other issues of joining the Association.

Basically, after Association Head Qian confirmed that Fang Yue and the parchment had signed a contract, his attitude obviously changed, becoming extremely friendly.

The Association is a very large organization, headquartered in Jianghai City, with branches all over China.

And in Jianghai City, because of the vast area, it is divided into many branches.

Fang Yue's branch is the Qingshui District branch of the Association.

Although it's just a branch, the actual number of personnel is extremely large, with the entire building full of people.

However, most people are engaged in logistics, or scientific research, or media and other directions.

The real combat team only has ten teams.

Each team has two to five people.

Most of them don't even have strange objects.

Like Qiu Dugu and Ma Shaoku, who are partnered as a team, they are considered strong, so they can form their own team with just two people.

Fang Yue is here to replace Ma Shaoku, so the benefits are directly inherited.

As a formal employee, there is no need to say more about the benefits.

Anyway, Fang Yue took a look, and for ordinary people, this treatment is enough to live a life of ease.

And the most important point is that the Association will protect the families and friends of formal employees.

As for friends, everyone has a certain number of places, and Fang Yue has enough to list Bai Xiaoya and them as protection targets.

"By the way, I'm replacing Ma Shaoku, which means I'm the captain of the tenth team with Qiu Dugu, right?"

"Yes."

"Can I recruit people into my team?"

"Theoretically, there is no problem, but we have internal assessment standards within the Association. Adding one more person increases the difficulty of the assessment. If you bring a burden, not only will you not be able to help yourself, but it will be a drag, and you will be responsible for it. I suggest not to recruit people casually."

"It's okay as long as I can recruit them. I know my limits."

After a pause, Fang Yue asked again: "By the way, are strange objects distributed when joining the team?"

"No, unless you perform exceptionally well, you can apply to the headquarters to try."

Fang Yue curled his lips. It seems that there's no chance to be greedy for small gains. But the Shadow Society has a lot of strange objects. Anyway, the Shadow Society is a rat crossing the street. I'll find him someday to get some strange objects.

While Fang Yue was thinking about these things, his joining the Association was basically settled.

After saying hello to Bai Xiaoya and them and asking them to come over, Fang Yue left Association Head Qian's office.

Looking at Fang Yue's departing back, Association Head Qian was thoughtful. He soon went to the study, opened a secret room, walked in, and contacted the headquarters to report Fang Yue's matter.

"The parchment has a contract partner?!"

"Send Fang Yue's information to the headquarters. We need to understand this person more deeply."

"Just an ordinary person who has mastered a strange object. You are too superstitious about transcendent strange objects. Compared to this, the Weirdness Index is what we need to care about."

"That's right, the situation is getting more and more serious. The large Weirdness Index in Jianghai City is rising more and more obviously. Continuing to destroy strange objects is only a temporary solution. We need to cultivate more people into the game to prepare for that moment!"

"The third batch of game watches has been released. This time, there are plenty of them. I have arranged for a large number of people to enter. There are many good seedlings inside."

"I have also invested manpower."

"Me too."

……

Jianghai City, Qingshui District, Association Branch.

After leaving the office door, Fang Yue saw Qiu Dugu still waiting at the door.

He had already been notified that Fang Yue had successfully joined the Association, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he looked very happy.

After all, he knew Fang Yue's strength. With such a partner, it would be much easier to deal with incidents of rising Weirdness Index in the future.

While taking Fang Yue to the employee's residence, Qiu Dugu passed on his experience to Fang Yue.

With Qiu Dugu, Fang Yue roughly understood the captain's duties and most of the procedures.

In simple terms, because a branch has combat teams.

Under normal circumstances, it is based on a shift system. There must be a team on duty that day, and other teams can wait for summons.

For example, if Team One is on duty today, if something happens, they are responsible for going out to deal with it. During this period, if Team One requests support, then Team Two, Team Three, etc. will go to support. Or when Team One is out dealing with something, and there is another situation, then Team Two, Team Three, etc. will go to deal with it.

About five teams are stationed in the branch every day, taking turns to rest.

Of course, this is just the normal process. Like Qiu Dugu, he is the kind of workaholic who rushes to the front line as soon as something happens, and basically has no time to rest.

And Fang Yue, this kind of salted fish, naturally wants to be on duty as little as possible. It is impossible to expect him to work actively – we still have to play the game, don't we.

While Fang Yue was greeting the logistics department at work, Bai Xiaoya and Yuanjie finally arrived at the building.

After the three met and explained the situation, Bai Xiaoya pulled Fang Yue aside and lowered her voice: "Now that you are an official member of the Association, it shouldn't be difficult to find Bai Su'e, right?"

"Yes, with the Association's intelligence network, it won't take much effort to find him. In fact, before you came, I had already asked someone to investigate, but there is no news yet."

"… That's good. Also… the Association really won't accept me?"

"I can use my captain authority to recruit you. But they don't provide strange objects. All you can do is enjoy the training benefits of the Association."

Bai Xiaoya looked up at Fang Yue, with a different emotion in her eyes.

She knew this kind of thing was not glorious, especially since Fang Yue had just joined and was helping people go through the back door. People would definitely point fingers if they knew.

"… Thank you!"

"It's okay."

Fang Yue waved his hand. He had also found Yuanjie a leisurely clerical job in the Association.

Anyway, it was the kind of office work that involved sorting out ordinary information.

Compared to Yuanjie's chaotic schedule and low-paying job, the civil servant job Fang Yue found was definitely much better.

So Yuanjie accepted without hesitation, jumping for joy.
