I run a Taoist temple in a bizarre world.

Chapter 72 What does it mean to fall asleep with just one punch?

"That's quite a coincidence. The two of us from the field operations department are sitting together, and the two of you from the internal affairs department are sitting together."

The man named Luo Yang laughed.

Chai Siyuan responded with a smile.

"What a coincidence!"

"You have no idea, I was having a late-night snack with my friends that night, and suddenly, he vanished right before my eyes!"

"He was just a table away from me, and he just disappeared before my eyes."

"I even called the police!"

"Then the next day, the Special Operations Bureau came to check my water meter..."

Luo Yang vividly recounted his extraordinary experiences before joining the Special Affairs Bureau.

"And you? What led you to this bizarre world, which resulted in the Special Affairs Bureau recruiting you?"

Chai Siyuan scratched her cheek with her index finger, seemingly finding it difficult to speak.

Seeing this, Wu Min didn't intend to make things difficult for Chai Siyuan, but instead spoke first.

"Yours is alright, at least you didn't go to that terrifying place. I went straight into a bizarre world!"

"And to make matters worse, I ran into a man-eating monster. I suspect that if it hadn't been hungry and I hadn't run fast, you wouldn't even see me now!"

At this point, Wu Min rubbed the goosebumps that had risen on her arms.

The lingering fear on their faces and the terror in their eyes were completely undisguised, plainly displayed before Chi Le and the others.

It's clear that the demons she encountered in that bizarre world that night left Wu Min with considerable psychological trauma.

After Wu Min finished speaking, Chai Siyuan also mustered up her courage and spoke up.

"I...I was shopping on Changxing Street with my college roommate a few days ago..."

"Oh! Is that it? I've heard that many new recruits have joined the Special Affairs Bureau recently because of the strange fog invasion incident on Changxing Street."

Luo Yang patted the back of his chair and continued.

"So, you were caught up in the bizarre fusion zone on Changxing Street, and only joined the Special Affairs Bureau after your seniors from the Special Affairs Bureau rescued you and the fusion zone disappeared?"

Chai Siyuan gently shook her head.

"No, I didn't run into any senior members of the Special Affairs Bureau..."

"So you hid until the area dissipated? Did you run as fast as Wu Min, making it impossible for those toads to catch you?"

Chai Siyuan shook her head again.

"Why is that? You can't keep fighting the demons in the fusion zone until it dissipates, can you?"

"Haha, just kidding, just kidding..."

Luo Yang waved his hand with a smile and said jokingly.

"They're always making these kinds of unfunny jokes."

Wu Min also said with a smile.

Chai Siyuan smiled and scratched her cheek with her index finger again, but this time she didn't shake her head, but nodded.

"That's about it..."

"My roommates and I were all terrified. A six-legged toad even jumped over and tried to eat my roommates..."

"In my panic, I punched it, and it stopped moving..."

"..."

"!"

The smiles on Luo Yang and Wu Min's faces froze, the friendly and cheerful atmosphere solidified, and the two stared blankly at Chai Siyuan, who looked embarrassed.

What does it mean to face a demon, even one that hasn't reached a higher level, and for an "ordinary person" to knock it to sleep with a single punch?

No, this can no longer be called an "ordinary person"!

The two of them stood there, stunned and speechless.

Even Chi Le couldn't help but take a second look at the shy girl beside him.

Chai Siyuan is not tall; judging from her face and figure, she is the petite and cute type of girl.

But this girl, who goes for an adorable style, managed to fall asleep with a single punch from a six-legged toad!

If this were the guy who fought desperately with a stick to protect his girlfriend, it would be a different story.

But it doesn't cause any effective damage to the six-legged toad at all.

If the older brother, who was so desperate that he was even prepared to die with the six-legged toad, knew this, where would he put his face?

The small space with four people and two rows of seats remained quiet for a long time before Luo Yang finally voiced his sincere question.

"With your skills, how did you end up in the Internal Affairs Department?"

"It should be...it should be that the demon encountered a colleague from the Special Affairs Bureau and got injured, or...the demon I encountered wasn't even an adult yet..."

"Actually, I'm not that great. The leaders of the Special Affairs Bureau probably realized that too, so... that's why I was assigned to the Internal Affairs Department."

Chai Siyuan held her hands out in front of her chest and kept waving them.

"Hmm, hmm... that's also possible."

Luo Yang's voice was a little dry, and his eyes were somewhat unfocused.

He preferred to believe that the man next to him who hadn't spoken a word from beginning to end—whose name was... Chi Le—was a hidden big shot.

He also didn't believe the nonsense that the six-legged toad Chai Siyuan encountered was an immature and hadn't fully developed.

After a while, Luo Yang decided not to continue on this topic.

"By the way, did your internal affairs department tell you about the content of this intensive training?"

Chi Le looked at Chai Siyuan and found that Chai Siyuan was also looking at her.

The big-eyed person asked:

"Did you say that?"

Very well, those people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are tight-lipped.

Chi Le sighed inwardly and shook her head at Luo Yang.

They received answers from Chi Le and Chai Siyuan.

Luo Yang's mood inexplicably lifted, and he straightened up, raising his head slightly after lowering it.

"The training will last for seven days, as Minister Zhong Shancheng just told us."

"but……"

Luo Yang paused deliberately, not continuing immediately, while secretly observing the expressions of Chi Le and Chai Siyuan.

I was hoping the two of them would show some eagerness to know what would happen next.

Unfortunately, no, Wu Min instead urged Luo Yang to hurry up and tell her, instead of keeping her in suspense.

"...But this training camp is different from the past; there will be a ranking system."

"If you perform well during the training camp and rank among the top, you will receive a reward tailored for you by the Special Affairs Bureau."

"It is said that after you receive the reward, once you actually enter the bizarre world and successfully acquire extraordinary abilities, the Special Affairs Bureau will provide further rewards."

"This has never happened before in previous training camps!"

"It seems that we were the first batch to be used as a pilot program. If the results are good, this new system will be adopted in the future."

"The colleagues who joined the field department earlier are extremely envious of the treatment we receive now."

After listening to Luo Yang's words, Chai Siyuan offered her timely support.

"Then we've come at a good time!"

"Yes, we..."

Upon hearing Chai Siyuan's words, Luo Yang nodded confidently.

Compared to this large number of new recruits who joined the Special Affairs Bureau because of the strange fog invading the real world in Changxing Street.

He joined the Special Operations Bureau almost a week earlier than this group!

He hasn't been idle this past week; he's been participating in the training of his field operations team.

This starting point is definitely much higher than that of most newcomers who know nothing!

However, when he looked at Chai Siyuan, he suddenly felt relieved.

How did we end up encountering this monster?

After hearing about Chai Siyuan's experiences before joining the Special Affairs Bureau, Luo Yang felt like a six-legged toad that had been punched by her.

His fantasy was shattered by a single punch.

However, it doesn't have to be number one; being among the top is fine, I'm confident I can achieve that!

He looked at Chi Le, who was lost in thought, seemingly preoccupied with something else entirely.

My confidence has become even stronger.
