Chapter 865 - 440 Qiu Tu: I Want to be Deputy Speaker! (10,000 Words for Monthly Ticket!)_2

Hearing Qiu Tu's words, Tang Feifei reflexively wanted to comfort him with her speech.

But it seemed like Qiu Tu had guessed what she was about to say, as he spoke first, "I know, you want to say that with you and Liu Xiongyuan, Dai Yukang, Huang Shangzong wouldn't assign such missions."

Tang Feifei uttered an acknowledgment.

Qiu Tu, however, shook his head. He placed the black cat on his lap and then said, "Huang Shangzong is not so easy to deal with."

"You can clash with him head-on once, twice, or even thrice, but you cannot protect me every single time."

"In times of war, to oppose the top officials like this, Liu Xiongyuan could simply imprison you, and the Sanctuary wouldn't intervene at all."

"Moreover, you and Liu Xiongyuan are insiders, but Dai Yukang is not... My relationship with him is merely trading and cooperation."

"The last time I asked for his help, I used up the favor he owed me. It won't be so easy to get his help again."

After listening to Qiu Tu's explanation, Tang Feifei was momentarily at a loss for words.

After a while, she asked with a solemn tone, "Then, are you confident?"

Qiu Tu stroked the fur of the black cat on his lap, then said, "About sixty percent, I guess."

After a pause, he continued, "Actually... originally, I had a seventy percent confidence, but the situation changed too quickly, and it's gotten too tense."

"Huang Shangzong's power is growing, the Sanctuary's influence is dwindling, and his attitude could play a decisive role. So my confidence has dropped by ten percent."

Upon hearing Qiu Tu's remarks, Tang Feifei was silent for two seconds before saying, "I will call my grandfather shortly, to see if I can push this matter forward."

Qiu Tu responded with a hum and then said, "Then I'll make my act more complete."

"Tonight, I will pretend to be engaging in a grand battle with the Evil God."

"Then, tomorrow morning, bring back the 'Boundless Divine Crystal' of the Whale Shark."

"Start the momentum building."

Hearing Qiu Tu's plan, Tang Feifei acknowledged with a hum.

After discussing the serious matter, like in casual conversation, or with implied meaning, Tang Feifei then said, "By the way, do you still remember Qin Shuman, the Security Department's Rain Butterfly Chief?"

Hearing Tang Feifei mention Qin Shuman, Qiu Tu was momentarily stunned, his hand, which was petting the black cat, even paused.

He feigned indifference as he spoke, "I remember, what about her?"

Tang Feifei replied calmly, "She volunteered recently to take part in a dangerous experiment by the Sanctuary."

"A few days ago, she defeated more than a dozen other participants, emerging as the final victor and acquiring the ultimate spot."

Hearing this, Qiu Tu halted for a moment, "A dangerous experiment?"

"What kind of experiment?"

Tang Feifei was silent for two seconds before she finally said, "The 'Pioneer Experiment'."

"In order to verify the information you and I have submitted, as well as to determine the Evil God's attitude towards humans becoming Domain Masters, the Sanctuary recruited a group of Second-order Peak and Middle Third Rank officials."

"Using Cataclysmic Material, they are nurturing them into Middle Third Rank Cataclysmics. Then they will help them secure a 'Region' in the Boundless Heart Sea."

"After that, Pseudo Fourth Order Cataclysmics will assist in locating Leyline Nodes, which the experimenters will refine to become 'Domain Masters'."

"Next, they will serve as bait to determine the surrounding Evil Gods' attitudes, as well as to capture 'Yellow Charms' for research."

"Because this project consumes no small amount of resources, and has many uncertainties and dangerous aspects, the Sanctuary has offered significant terms."

"And Rain Butterfly Chief signed up."

Having said this, Tang Feifei paused, then added, "When she signed up, someone asked her why."

"She said... she merely wanted to catch up with someone's pace."

Hearing Tang Feifei's words, Qiu Tu was momentarily silent.

In fact, when Qin Shuman suddenly received a transfer order from the Sanctuary a while ago, Qiu Tu had found it strange.

Normally, it would be understandable for the Sanctuary to transfer personnel from within the state, but transferring someone from a city seemed rather excessive.

Since he still didn't know Qin Shuman's true identity to date, Qiu Tu assumed it was Qin Shuman's family wanting her to leave.

But now, it seemed... perhaps, Qin Shuman had been the one to initiate it from the start.

The reason might very well be what she said: she found herself increasingly unable to keep up with Qiu Tu's pace, and in order to still stand alongside him, she had to give it her all.

Fortunately, it seemed she had succeeded... or at least, she had succeeded halfway.

After the conversation about Qin Shuman, the two of them chatted briefly about other topics before hanging up the call.

Putting down the Communicator, Qiu Tu stroked the smooth fur of the black cat on his lap, his gaze deep, lost in thought...

After what felt like a long while, the black cat snuggled in Qiu Tu's arms and then suddenly leaped from his embrace.

The next second, the cat's body in mid-air slowly expanded, swelling until it transformed into a petite, naked Little Loli.

It turned out to be Cat Girl Loli Miao Xiaoxiao...

She did a flip, landed on the ground, and stood up. Waving her long tail behind her, she said to Qiu Tu, "Bureau Chief, the Minister just sent down an order to me, saying there's an urgent lead I need to follow up on."

"Your security hereafter will be ensured by another guard team."

Hearing Miao Xiaoxiao's words, Qiu Tu nodded slightly.

Seeing Qiu Tu's approval, Miao Xiaoxiao took out some spare clothes from her Cataclysmic treasures, dressed herself, and then swiftly exited the Bureau Chief's office...

...

Evening. In Xinjie City, at the Investigation Bureau, in the Bureau Chief's office.

Snowflakes were fluttering outside the window.

Inside, by the fireside, Qiu Tu was reviewing the latest intelligence summary from Dongye State, looking for hints of the enemy's movements...
