Gao Wu Da Qin: You don't want your secret to be known, do you?

Chapter 82 The Night Watchman of Qin

"Ding!"

"Qin Feng, Watchman No. 9527 of the Demon Suppression Division, Class A, has successfully checked in!"

"Please begin your work for today. —(••÷[ ➅9ѕ𝔥𝕦x.𝐂όϻ ]÷••)—"

The AI ​​robot at the Court of Justice's check-in office broadcasted its voice loudly.

Qin Feng checked his diary and, as expected, there was a new check-in record. He would check in again when he got off work today, which would complete 1/30 of the day's check-in goal.

You need to check in for a month to unlock the secondary profession panel!

This also takes into account the chances that sometimes the card cannot be swiped.

If I really have to clock in for a month, two months will have passed, which is about the time it takes to get the panel after I finish clocking in! Master Meng will be coming to Xianyang by then!

The only thing that puzzled Qin Feng now was that he remembered the man surnamed Cui telling him that he was to be assigned the position of negotiation expert, so how did he become a night watchman?

"Young Master Qin!" Cui Puling said enthusiastically from the side, "You've finished clocking in, let's go inside and chat!"

Qin Feng said, "Please, sir!"

Cui Puling laughed, "Why are we still distinguishing between 'sir' and 'commander'? We're all equals! I'm several decades older than Qin Shaoxu, so just call me Brother Cui!"

Qin Feng rubbed his hands together and said, "This... isn't a good idea!"

"What's wrong with that!" Cui Puling enthusiastically grabbed Qin Feng's arm. "Come on, let me tell you about the Demon Suppression Division's recent missions and work, and I'll also distribute the equipment!"

"Alright, Brother Cui, if you don't mind my humble aspirations, then I'll shamelessly accept!"

"How dare you say that! You're still the most stunningly beautiful one, and I'm the one who's incredibly lucky to be able to become your brother, despite our age difference!"

Cui Puling and Qin Feng took over and left. Behind them, the officials of the Court of Justice watched this scene and began to discuss it amongst themselves.

"Is Lord Cui drunk? How could he be calling a young brat his brother?!"

"You're new here, aren't you? This young man is something else; he's the top scorer this year! A grand slam in science, humanities, and martial arts!"

"If I heard correctly, he applied for a job as a Night Watchman in the Demon Suppression Division! How did someone as outstanding as Jinghong end up as a judge? And the most dangerous Night Watchman at that!"

In the office, Qin Feng sipped his tea. "Brother, if I remember correctly, you assigned me a negotiation expert, right?"

Cui Puling gave an awkward smile, "Actually, I originally planned to assign a negotiation expert to Young Master Qin, but considering that job is too demanding, not a moment can be wasted, there's no time for meals! So I simply changed Young Master Qin's position to night watchman, which is quite good! The night watchman position is relatively free, with no strict requirements. You clock in and out, and at night, you patrol and crack down on a few troublemakers. Isn't that wonderful?"

Qin Feng listened to Cui Puling's words and realized that they made sense. The most important thing for him was to clock in, and being a night watchman was indeed a good job.

But that doesn't mean Qin Feng is stupid. There must be some Xianyang nobles behind this sudden job change.

"If I'm not mistaken," Qin Feng put down his teacup, "there must be a mastermind behind my job change, right?"

Seeing that he could no longer hide it, Cui Pushing sighed, "Since you've said so, brother, then I'll tell you the truth. It was arranged by the young master."

Qin Feng raised an eyebrow. "That damned bastard Fusu, I should have known better. It was definitely that grandson who was behind this..."

"No—" Cui Puling hurriedly stopped Qin Feng, "Brother, don't get so agitated. You can scold the young master, but we can't listen to his insults! You don't know, this young master is the mastermind behind our Court of Justice..."

After Cui Puling finished recounting the whole story, Qin Feng could only marvel at the excellent matching mechanism of the Great Qin Dynasty. It was truly a case of a sleeping dragon meeting a young phoenix!

The Court of Justice is even divided into inner and outer offices!

He actually went all the way to deliver his head to Fusu!

Qin Feng could easily imagine how smug Fusu must have felt when he learned that he had been selected to work at the Court of Justice.

If we withdraw now, Fusu will look down on us and spread rumors that we are afraid of death.

Well, since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it.

Qin Feng looked at Cui Puling and said, "That bastard Fusu will definitely not let me off the hook! Isn't this night watchman he arranged for me very dangerous?"

Cui Puling took out an encrypted folder. "There is still some danger, but it's much better than a few years ago! The Demon Suppression Division's personnel loss rate is now less than 70%..."

Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "A 70% loss rate is considered low? What exactly is the Demon Suppression Division for?!"

Cui Puling handed the folder to Qin Feng, "Brother, take a look for yourself!"

The folder was opened, and the first page was a department introduction of the Demon Suppression Division.

The Demon Suppression Division, one of the three divisions of the Qin Dynasty's Court of Justice, has the fewest personnel, the best treatment, and the most casualties. Its main task is to sweep away the dark side of the empire, local scoundrels, martial arts misfits, remnants of evil cults, and many non-human special life forms, including artificial life forms, alien life forms, mythological life forms, etc.

The official name of this department is "Relevant Department of Daqin".

Qin Feng's eyes swept over the photos, on which strange life forms were clearly visible to the naked eye. These were things beyond the scope of Qin Feng's understanding since his transmigration.

Giant rats, over two meters tall and standing upright, with mouths full of blood, devour humans. They are offspring of a cosmic evil god, resonating with the evil god due to cosmic radiation, and wreaking havoc on humanity.

Crocodile-men are half-human, half-beast beings covered in thick scales. They are artificial life forms created by humans using genetic engineering, combining human and animal elements. These half-beast beings possess human intelligence and animal strength, but most are mentally ill and have severe violent tendencies.

Furthermore, some ancient mythological figures, such as painted skins, mountain gods, temple priests, and river gods, are pure soul-like life forms!

Qin Feng quickly noticed a photograph. In the photograph, a pure-looking girl in a red dress leaned against a window, her eyes full of affection.

The girl's hair was slightly messy, giving her a Gone with the Wind vibe, especially since she was wearing white stockings under her fiery red fitted dress!

A red dress paired with white stockings—both innocent and alluring!

In addition, the woman's tall and charming figure, slender waist, and captivating peach blossom eyes made Qin Feng unable to resist taking a few more glances!

In terms of looks alone, this girl is perhaps only one in a million.

But the allure she exudes is incredibly mature, passionate, proactive, and subtly seductive!

Back on Earth, an old friend once said that the beauty of a woman can only be truly appreciated through comparison.

The contrast between such a beautiful woman's photo and a large group of photos of non-human monsters was so striking that even a young hero like Qin Feng, who was as virtuous as Liu Xiahui, couldn't help but take a dozen extra glances.

The photo of the girl in the red dress has a brief caption.

Name: Gu Niantong

Gender: Female

Age: Unknown

Family: An orphan taken in by a man, she was sexually abused by her adoptive father at a very young age. At sixteen, she killed her adoptive father and began her life as a wandering swordsman. ✊👊 ➅➈ŜĤǗˣ.ς𝓞𝓂 ♟🐳

Identity: Leader of the Demon Star Sect

Realm: Around the third realm

Technique: A wicked art that extracts and steals souls, especially adept at drawing upon human life force to maintain one's appearance.

Crimes: recruiting cultists, besieging prestigious sects, causing cholera outbreaks in border cities, killing over 10,000 of his men, escaping three massacres, and killing no fewer than 350 of my Demon Suppression Division's official employees!

Danger; Three stars

Wanted: A bounty of 200 million has been issued!

Postscript: Although this woman's cultivation level is not high, her self-created techniques are extremely vicious, especially her move "Soul-Stealing and Soul-Locking," which can capture men of the same cultivation level almost instantly. Even some men who are stronger than her will be bewitched by her. She has many admirers, including a strong man at the level of a small country in the fifth realm. She needs to be extremely careful!

Cui Puling, holding his teacup, glanced at her and said, "That Gu Niantong is no pushover! This Azure Dragon Awakening operation was specifically targeting her! As a result, her colleagues all met their demise, each dying without any dignity!"

Qin Feng asked, "Is a guy at the third realm really that difficult to deal with?"

Cui Puling said, "Young Master Qin, you are new to the martial world. In this world of outlaws, you can't just look at your cultivation level. Cultivation level is just a conceptual value; it gives you a general idea of ​​what level you're at! In actual combat, the difference between those at the same cultivation level is enormous!"

"Putting everything else aside, in my professional career, the biggest difference I've ever seen between people of the same skill level is one person fighting two thousand!"

"Gu Niantong may look like a lowly henchman of the third realm, but any expert of the same realm in the third realm would surrender instantly upon encountering her. Forget fighting, you wouldn't even have a chance to exchange a glance with her! This vixen's ability to bewitch and seduce is truly ruthless! The deaths of her fellow cultivators at her hands are all too painful to look at!"

Qin Feng tried suggesting, "Since she's so good at flirting, why not just ask the inner court and borrow a few highly skilled eunuchs to deal with her?"

Cui Puling laughed, "Young Master Qin's idea is quite good, but you must understand that having ability and lacking ideas are two different things! Eunuchs may lack ability, but that doesn't mean they lack ideas. Faced with such an extreme vixen, they still have to be confused. If they are confused, then they're doomed!"

Undeterred, Qin Feng asked, "Have you tried it?"

Cui Puling said, "We've tried not only eunuchs, but also women! This vixen is bisexual; she can bewitch even women! Although she's only at the third realm, we simply can't win this battle!"

Qin Feng couldn't help but exclaim, "Amazing! No wonder they issued a two million bounty! That's quite a sum!"

Cui Puling casually put the folder away, saying, "You won't encounter any of these dangerous people, Young Master Feng! The jurisdiction I assigned to you is in the bustling downtown area of ​​Xianyang, in Nonghua Alley!"

Flower Lane?

Do you remember Qin Feng? The membership card for the Red Man's Pavilion that the Drunken Sword Immortal Wang Xu gave you before was in Nonghua Alley!

This alley is famously bustling in Xianyang, with all sorts of entertainment industries flourishing everywhere. The famous top courtesan Liu Rushi, as well as the Eight Beauties of Jinghe, are simply irresistible!

Qin Feng looked at Cui Puling and said with a playful smile, "Brother, to be honest, I came here to work, not to eat, drink, and have fun. What will outsiders think of me if you set up a place like that for me!"

Cui Puling said, "Brother, you're mistaken! To be honest, Young Master Fusu specifically requested you to participate in a particularly dangerous operation, codenamed Azure Dragon Awakening. Recently, several deaths have occurred in this Flower Lane, all related to the Azure Dragon Awakening operation. Sending you to this bustling downtown area as a night watchman isn't because I'm giving you face or arranging a relaxing place for you; it's because this place genuinely needs night watchmen! I'm making this arrangement based on facts, and when this reaches Young Master Fusu, he won't have any objections!"

Qin Feng asked, "What is the Azure Dragon Awakening operation?"

"This—" Cui Puling laughed, "This damn operation is very troublesome. It's been going on for years, it's an old, rotten thing. You'll probably find it troublesome, brother. You're just here to experience life, not to actually work, right? There's no need to know too much about this kind of operation."

Qin Feng nodded. That's right. He was just here to clock in and kill time, and maybe see if there was any good deed he could do.

The Awakening of the Azure Dragon is their core business, so there's no need for me to know too much about it.

The two got up, and Cui Puling took Qin Feng to change into a new set of clothes.

Qin Feng really liked this outfit!

Wearing a black, tight-fitting, unidentified leather armor, with a commanding waistline, leather boots, and leather shoulder pads, he stood in front of the mirror, exuding an imposing aura, reminiscent of the ancient Qin Dynasty's Imperial Guards!

"Young Master Qin! It's 9 PM now, and your workday ends at 8 AM tomorrow! Is that alright?"

"No problem! I'm teaching others how to forge mechs during the day tomorrow, so I can work in the evening. It won't interfere with either!"

"Alright, no problem. Shall I arrange for a servant to take you to the Flower Alley, Young Master Qin?"

"No, I can go myself."

"Let's bring someone with us! Young Master Qin is someone important, it wouldn't be right not to bring some underlings! Come on! You bastard! Come and greet Young Master Qin!"

Wearing identical leather armor, the young man, full of heroic spirit, with a long sword at his waist, rushed over excitedly. The moment his eyes met Qin Feng's, he froze on the spot.

Qin Feng also stopped abruptly, a smile appearing on his face. "Brother Xiao, we meet again."

Who is this dashing young guard from the Demon Suppression Division standing before me?

It was none other than Xiao Buping, whom Longcheng and Qin Feng had met once before!

Back then, Xiao Buping, Qin Feng, and Tian Yangsheng all ranked in the top three in the martial arts exam. Later, when they arrived in Xianyang, Qin Feng tried to check their rankings, but he couldn't find any information about them. He never expected to run into them now.

Cui Puling looked at Xiao Buping, then at Qin Feng, and hesitated before asking, "Do you two know each other?"

Xiao Buping rubbed his hands awkwardly and said, "Third Uncle, didn't I mention it to you before? I went to Longcheng to participate in the martial arts examination, and I even met a hero there!"

Cui Puling slapped his thigh. "You did tell me, why didn't you say it was Young Hero Qin Feng?!"

Xiao Buping said awkwardly, "Well, I'm sorry! Young Master Qin is number one on the list of top talents, and what am I? I failed the martial arts exam, how can I be worthy to mention those trivial matters in Longcheng back then! Back in Longcheng, Young Master Qin was just letting us have our fun, he wasn't even serious!"

Cui Puling, beaming with joy, pulled his nephew along, "Young Master Qin, since you and Buping both know each other, why don't you take this kid on as a mentor!"

Cui Puling's intention was simple: to integrate his nephew into the circle of the second generation of Chang'an elites so that his nephew could also make a name for himself.

Qin Feng seemed completely unconcerned, readily agreeing, "Let's go, Brother Xiao! Time for night patrol!"

Xiao Buping hurriedly followed, "Brother Xiao is too formal. Just call me Buping, or I can call you younger brother. With Young Master Qin's reputation, I dare not call you Brother Xiao."

"By the way, have you seen any reports about Tian Sheng Yang lately?"

"He was born with bad luck! He was assigned to the top-tier examination hall, and in the third round of the martial arts exam, he encountered one of the Seven Heroes of the Sky, the Three Heroes of the Farmhouse, and that was the end of that."

"Are farmers really that amazing?"

"Compared to you, Young Master Qin, the peasants are certainly insignificant, not even worthy of your attention. But to us, they are unattainable. Young Master Qin, please wait a moment, I'll come over in my patrol car!"

"OK!"

As Cui Puling watched his nephew and Qin Feng gradually disappear into the distance, he hummed a little tune with a cheerful mood.

It's truly heaven's help!

I never imagined that my nephew would be an old acquaintance of Qin Feng. If Qin Feng could mentor my nephew and he could get into the circle of second-generation rich kids in Xianyang and learn some mecha forging from Qin Feng, then our family would really be set for life!

Cui Puling couldn't help but sigh, Qin Feng was truly his benefactor. Since meeting this benefactor, his career and his family's fortune had begun to improve dramatically!

Cui Puling returned to his office smugly, leisurely sipping tea and pondering whether he should improve his martial arts skills.

Just then, there was a knock at the door. "Sir, a secret report from the front!"

Cui Pu ordered, "Enter!"

A guard rushed in, "Sir, a secret report from the Demon Suppression Division at the front lines indicates that a demon has infiltrated Xianyang!"

Cui Puling's face hardened, and he turned around, saying, "Speak! Who!"

The guard whispered, "A secret report from the Demon Suppression Division: Gu Niantong, the Three-Star Demon Lord."

Cui Puling said irritably, "Then what are we waiting for? Arrest them! Death or life! Do we even need to report this?"

The guard lowered his voice and said, "Gu Niantong has recently taken in a new admirer, a master of minor martial arts. Moreover, she appeared in a busy downtown area with a lot of people. The Demon Suppression Division doesn't dare to take action; the conditions don't allow it..."

Cui Puling said, "If the conditions don't allow it, then create them to kill her! Have you guys gotten so stressed out at work that your brains have become rigid? Is a mere national-level expert so difficult to deal with? Aren't all the national-level experts from the Demon Suppression Division back from their vacations? Follow the proper procedures!"

"If you can't get one national standard, then issue two!"

"If two aren't enough, then five! Ten!"

"A witch at the third level of the third rank (three stars) killed nearly four hundred of my Demon Suppression Division members! And she can still swagger around right under my nose? Is my Court of Justice just sitting around doing nothing??"

The guard replied, "Yes! I will go and inform the Grandmasters to mobilize immediately."

Cui Puling raised his hand and said, "Wait!"

The guard hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What are your instructions, sir?"

Cui Pu's eyes gleamed. "This witch never confronts us directly. Her sudden arrival in Xianyang, though accompanied by a minor Grandmaster's lackey, doesn't fit her fighting logic!"

The guard said, "Does Your Excellency mean that Gu Niantong is up to no good?"

Cui Puling's pupils contracted, and he said, word by word, "She usually avoids us, but this time she deliberately showed herself to the Demon Suppression Division! And she did it in broad daylight! There must be a trap!"

"She dares to be so bold; she must have some kind of backing. Perhaps she's broken through to the fourth realm, or maybe she's found an even more powerful suitor!"

"In matters like this, it's better to be extremely cautious than careless. Don't send in a Grandmaster. If she really breaks through her cultivation level, sending one of our Grandmasters to deal with her would be like throwing a meat bun to a dog—a one-way trip!"

The guard asked, "Then, sir, what should we do?"

Cui Pu looked out the window. "If this were outside Xianyang, only our Court of Justice could handle it. But once it's inside Xianyang, it's not just the Court of Justice's business anymore; it's also the Five Cities Garrison's job. Pass this message on to the Five Cities Garrison, saying it's just a simple witch, and let the Five Cities Garrison investigate!"

The guard nodded. "Understood! I'll take care of it right away!"
