Chapter 51 - 51 – Fang Mu Obtains the Iron Rice Bowl! 1
Fang Mu was very clear about what would happen when He Qing reported he was close to breaking the “Scavenger” record to an upper member of the “Scavenger” headquarters.
That upper member would certainly access his records.
He/She might even investigate his family background, and the composition of his family members.
Otherwise, the “Scavengers” wouldn’t seriously considering providing him with substantial training.
Therefore, Fang Mu had long thought about how to present himself and at what attitude to use to face the interaction with the authority.
The situation turned out just as Fang Mu had expected.
During the time Fang Mu was working on the Vanguard Beast Corpses, Feng Lin was also busy investigating.
It could be said that Feng Lin had a clear understanding of all the aspects of Fang Mu that are publicly known.
This included the several academic papers that Fang Mu had recently published under the guidance of Cui Ruochen.
Those, too, were carefully reviewed by Feng Lin.
The more Feng Lin read the content of these papers, the more she was convinced of Fang Mu’s extraordinary abilities.
Feng Lin was also a Spirit Forging Master, and she also had a deep understanding of academic knowledge.
To become a Spirit-smithing Master, one would need to take examinations of various disciplines, except for Beast observation.
Feng Lin was certain that Fang Mu’s excellence was not taught by Cui Ruochen.
To confirm this, Feng Lin specifically checked Cui Ruochen’s records.
Cui Ruochen only became Fang Mu’s teacher in his junior year and started carrying out project research with him.
Before that, there was no basic interaction between the two.
Feng Lin believes in the existence of genius!
However, genius usually refers to one’s talent in Beast Mastery.
There is no such thing as a genius in the academic field.
Diligence makes up for the deficiency; intensive study is the only way.
Feng Lin’s hair was thin and sparse, the result of burning the midnight oil during her academic research days.
Therefore, Feng Lin assumed that someone must be teaching Fang Mu.
She couldn’t be sure if it was Fang Mu’s brothers or sisters, but she thought it was highly unlikely.
Because Fang Mu’s brothers and sisters did not choose to become Creators or Spirit- smithing Masters.
Besides, apart from his Third Sister Fang Yan, who was still in school, he only got together with his eldest sister and second brother during holidays. Feng Lin had no intention to take disciples, nor would she easily do so.
However, Feng Lin planned to trick Fang Mu a bit.
She would see how he would react when she said she wanted to take him as a disciple!
The door of 2144 Soldier-class incineration room slowly opened.
Feng Lin saw a young figure stepping out of the room at once.
He was dressed in youthful clothes,
His youthful vigor combined with his self-confident demeanor gave off a spirited, enthusiastic impression.
Feng Lin had seen such temperament on the heirs of influential clans.
This was the kind of self-confidence that stems from never having to bow for resources!
Such confidence seemed out of place with Fang Mu’s family background.
Feng Lin did not wait for Fang Mu to salute her with respect.
Instead, she walked up to him, smiled, outstretched her hand, and patted Fang Mu’s shoulder.
“Elbow, come inside with me-!”
“I’m here to help you boost your badge’s points!”
Hearing this, Fang Mu gave a polite smile to Feng Lin.
“Thank you! ”
Before entering the room with Fang Mu, Feng Lin turned to He Qing, who was about to follow her in, and said,
“You can go ahead!”
“If you have time recently, help me monitor the progress of the informal medical team getting up and running.”
Go? Where to?
Isn’t that why I’ve been waiting here, to witness history?
Should I call Miss Fang Lin’s tactic “Kill the donkey once it’s done grinding”, or “Monkey steal peaches”?
If I knew this, I should have been present to witness Jianmu breaking the “Scavenger” record first.
And then go inform Miss Fang Lin!
But He Qing can understand why Fang Lin said that.
By looking at Jianmu’s current state, it’s evident that he has finished dealing with hundred vanguard beast corpses.
Once Jianmu successfully breaks the “Scavenger” record, he will obtain many benefits.
One of which is that his data will be sealed and confidential.
Except for people like Fang Lin, the “Green Screen Knight” or influential figures like the “Bishop of Flowers” who are present at the headquarters.
Even if other “Scavenger” members hold high positions, they will not be able to access Jianmu’s information without his consent.
When Miss Fang Lin was checking Jianmu’s identity information this afternoon, she didn’t share it with me.
While Miss Fang Lin is having a conversation with Jianmu later, it wouldn’t be appropriate for me to stay here.
Furthermore, Miss Fang Lin has asked me to supervise the progress of the medical team designated for non-official members.
This is essentially a promotion for me.
He Qing made a sound of agreement and looked at Fang Mu with a complex gaze full of congratulations before he turned around and left the region of the Soldier-class incineration room.
Just a day ago, he had just met Jianmu.
Back then, He Qing viewed Jianmu as an ignorant, death-seeking rookie.
He even tried to advise Jianmu from the perspective of a full-fledged member.
But a day later, Jianmu has become a figure he must look up to.
He Qing took out his mobile phone.
Looking at Jianmu’s number, He Qing changed Jianmu’s contact name to “Little Genius”.
Fang Lin was as surprised as He Qing was when she first saw the display table of the processed Alien Beast Corpse.
Even when she handled the Alien Beast Corpses herself, she never clean the table this thoroughly.
Looking at this, Fang Mu might have some obsessive-compulsive disorder!
Indeed, Fang Mu would make a strange face if he knew about Fang Lin’s thoughts.
It’s true that Fang Mu has obsessive-compulsive tendencies!
But it only extends to the level of clearing unread messages.
He wouldn’t clean a table at least one hundred and fifty square meters large to the point of spotlessness.
This happened because no matter how much food Suxi eats, it won’t get full.
It didn’t eat well today. If it eats less, won’t Suxi feel wronged!?
After confirmation that the Beast Corpses have been taken care of properly, Fang Lin added points to Fang Mu’s badge.
The badge, which originally had three leaf designs, changed to a bud the moment a fourth leaf appeared.
Now, Fang Mu is an official member of the “Scavengers”.
With a smile, Fang Lin said to Fang Mu,
“Congratulations on becoming an official member of the Scavengers.”
“Nice to officially meet you, I’m Fang Lin, the Green Screen Knight of the
Scavenger Headquarters Jinghai Branch.”
“Should I call you Fang Mu, or Jianmu?”
Green Screen Knight?
The lady who put her hand on my shoulder the moment we met, is actually a Green Screen Knight?
Sister, why don’t you have a sense of being an influential figure?
In the entire Jinghai branch of the “Scavengers,” Fang Lin is a prominent figure.
After momentarily being surprised at Fang Lin’s identity, Fang Mu quickly collected himself.
The identity he is pretending to be now is a disciple of a Grandmaster Creator.
Even when meeting influential figures like Fang Lin, he shouldn’t look too astonished.
Fortunately, he didn’t take off his mask just now.
Fang Mu, who composed himself, politely said in the same tone as before, “Nice to meet you, Miss Fang Lin. Both Fang Mu and Jianmu are me!”
“Feel free to call me whichever you prefer!”
