Odd Containment Specialist.

Chapter 977 Short Vacation

Ten minutes later, Xia Shou made an excuse and slunk out of the office.

In the hallway, Charles happened to be leaning against the window smoking.

"Isn't Xiaoming's job unusually difficult?" Xia Shou asked, stepping forward. "Father, do you know something about it?"

Charles smiled and said, "Modis says he can handle his daily affairs on his own, but he's still not confident in himself. He's a very careful and meticulous boy."

"Xiao Ming has improved so quickly?" Xia Shou asked in surprise, recalling that when he brought him back, he was just an ordinary junior high school student who had been caught up in an abnormal event.

"As long as it's not a complicated event, he can easily do the work of ten people in ordinary daily life. This is not my opinion, but Modis's. This guy is very talented in the skillful use of convenient tools, and he learns very quickly."

I heard that he's making good progress in his studies with Grandpa Liu. I think it's because of the attitude of Modis when he just arrived that he's thinking of recruiting that kid into the lab.

"Given the current state of your department, he might be the most suitable candidate to become the department head in the future. The Control Bureau stipulates that the abnormality level of senior leaders cannot exceed level three. Your department head is an exception. Besides that square-faced girl, this kid is probably the most suitable candidate."

Xia Shou nodded thoughtfully, feeling quite emotional.

A kid we picked up, who was only temporarily put in the department, has grown up to this extent in just a few months. The fate of life is truly unpredictable.

However, if Xiaoming really becomes a minister, he will definitely be better than a minister.

Just now, Xiaoming asked him if he wanted to take a short vacation of a few days.

Because Xiao Gao needs to gather new information and make new plans in his dream, and the local control bureau of Möbius Canyon also needs a lot of time to prepare for the containment of Vero, all these things require patience.

In addition, the minister is currently hospitalized with serious injuries, so these temporary team members who are not currently working are genuinely out of work. Therefore, Li Ming suggested taking a few days off to clear their minds.

His exact words were: "According to the timeline, we definitely can't send you guys to do the daily work, since the Heart of the Rift will be ready soon and we might miss the deadline."

But there really isn't anything to arrange right now. You've just gone through such an intense battle, so it's best to relax mentally. After all, research shows that the mental state of the person involved has a significant impact on the fluctuations of the spirit base rate.

If you're not in the mood, Brother Shou, I can arrange some teaching work for you. Recently, many new recruits in the Control Bureau have wanted your personal guidance.

Well... my personal opinion is that you should get some rest, Brother Shou.

Although your and Fatty's spirit origin rates are almost unaffected by mood or fatigue, it's always good to balance work and rest.

Hearing these words, Xia Shou was deeply moved.

If a kind-hearted child like Xiaoming can become a leader, then the employees are truly blessed.

Unfortunately, he probably won't be able to enjoy it, because he knows a little about the Bureau's promotion process. Every leader who gets promoted takes some employees with him. People like him and Brother Bai and Brother Pang, who have private deals with the minister, will most likely be taken away.

People like Li Ming and Xiao Gao are well-suited to stay and solidify their existing base.

Since it's a rare holiday, I might as well take a short break. Although I haven't been able to develop any hobbies or entertainment since joining the department, from another perspective, as long as I'm not at work, I can do anything.

Xia Shou slipped back into the office: "Xiao Ming, I'll be going now. Contact me anytime if you need anything."

"OK." Li Ming made a gesture from behind the mountain of documents.

Su Weiyu, who had been sitting at her workstation with her legs crossed, paused for a moment when she heard Xia Shou say he was leaving. She turned her head in confusion and asked, "Are you going out again so soon?" "No, Xiaoming said that we might not have anything to do for the next few days, so it's like a temporary vacation. He'll contact us immediately if there's anything urgent."

Let's go! We finally have a break, let's go somewhere fun!

As Xia Shou spoke, he opened his phone and started searching for entertainment venues in the vicinity.

He's not really good at having fun. Although he used to sneak out to internet cafes with his friends to play games when he was in school, and they would play basketball and ping-pong together on weekends, these recreational activities are no longer suitable now because of the changes in circumstances.

Firstly, their improved physical fitness has made them completely unsuitable for team sports like those of ordinary people. Moreover, due to the differences in individual physical condition among superhumans, the fairness of competitive sports between two people has been greatly reduced.

For example, if he and Wei Yu were to play ping-pong, they would most likely not be able to play well. His reaction speed makes it almost impossible for him to miss a ball, while although Wei Yu's reaction speed is not as fast as his, she is also unlikely to miss a ball.

To make the opponent miss the ball, the ball speed needs to exceed a certain limit, which is beyond the reach of ordinary ping-pong ball materials. Even if it is specially made by the equipment department, playing it will be like Quicksilver playing ping-pong in X-Men, becoming a boring form of entertainment.

Xia Shou quickly searched his mind for all sorts of daily entertainment he had before he transmigrated.

CS and LOL?

I played it last time, and it was completely boring because the reaction speed was too fast; you could become a master of technique even without realizing it.

Are there card games like Three Kingdoms Kill?

Um... Wei Yu can't really get involved, and she's not really capable of doing it either.

See a movie?
To be honest, I'm completely tired of it; too many of the movies I've watched are just for casual entertainment.

"Let's go see a movie," Su Weiyu suddenly said.

Xia Shou was taken aback and looked at her in surprise. He didn't expect Su Weiyu to want to watch a movie. She clearly remembered that Su Weiyu had said last time that watching a movie was not as good as going home to sleep.

Su Weiyu's eyes were slightly unfocused. She thought for a moment and repeated, "Shall we go see a movie first?"

"Okay."

"I'll make a reservation," Su Weiyu said.

Xia Shou felt that the other party's behavior was a little abnormal, but he couldn't quite put his finger on what was wrong.

Indeed, booking movie seats is something Wei Yu can do as well. After all, ordering movie tickets is done through a program, and he can use the tickets after they are picked up by the machine. Moreover, Wei Yu himself doesn't need a ticket to enter the theater.

Su Weiyu scrolled through the movie list with her fingers, her mind exceptionally clear. Combining reviews from various film review platforms, she quickly selected the movies that couples would most likely choose today, then selected the most crowded screenings and the last row.

In the past, when she and Xia Shou went to the cinema, they would choose screenings with as few people as possible and the best seats possible, because that would provide the best viewing experience. But this time she didn't do that, because she didn't really want to watch a movie.

What are some good movies to watch?

Now she really doesn't understand why men and women go on dates.
