Exotic Battlefield: I Can Activate Dual Talents-Chapter 135 - 129: Collecting the Housing Benefit from the Star Investigation Office

Chapter 135: Chapter 129: Collecting the Housing Benefit from the Star Investigation Office

Opposite him sat the girl from the War God Alliance who assisted with Lu Lin’s registration at the Boppu Air Cargo Airport.

No.

Lu Lin now thought, perhaps she wasn’t really a girl at all.

Just had the appearance of one.

Like Zhao Lei and Bai Jingwei, who, although over three hundred years old, still had the appearance of middle-aged people.

"Please have a seat, Lu Lin."

"Shan Shan, go make two cups of coffee."

"Yes, Director Long."

Chen Shanshan agreed and turned to leave, closing the room door behind her.

"Hello, Lu Lin, let me introduce myself. I’m Long Qianli. I believe you’ve met my sister Long Qiansu at the Boppu Air Cargo Airport just now."

Hmm?

Several question marks popped up in Lu Lin’s mind.

Long Qianli.

Long Qiansu.

Your parents really... knew how to have fun naming their children like that.

Sitting closer now, Lu Lin could spot some differences in their appearance.

Long Qiansu from the airport looked a bit younger.

But the Long Qianli in front of him had slight crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, making her look much older than her sister.

However, weren’t they supposed to be twins?

"Lu Lin, first of all, on behalf of the Chongnuo City Star Coordinator Division Branch, I welcome you."

"The Star Core Martial Artist Crime Investigation Office mainly targets Star Core Warriors. In the world of ordinary people of the federation, they don’t know much about us, but every Star Core Warrior criminal who hears about us is filled with dread."

"This wouldn’t be possible without the hard work and efforts of our frontline personnel."

"Previously I also looked up some information about you. You just joined the Star Investigation Office a week ago, correct?"

"Yes."

Lu Lin nodded.

Although Long Qianli’s voice was clear and crisp, it didn’t have an imposing tone.

She would even check with Lu Lin while talking, which made him feel comfortable.

"So you’re still a newcomer to our Star Investigation Office."

"But for you to have helped the Star Investigation Office capture hundreds of Black Shark Society high-ranking members across multiple locations in the federation within just a week is no small achievement for any investigator who has been here for years. Your promotion to Elite Investigator is well-deserved."

"Director Long, you flatter me."

"I actually didn’t do much. It was all due to the Star Coordinator Division Director’s correct command, accurate judgment, and our colleagues’ efficient execution. I only did a little bit of trivial stuff."

Lu Lin replied modestly.

At this moment, leaving a good impression on Director Long might make him so happy that he would assign Lu Lin a house in a good location when he finally asked for housing benefits.

"Hehe."

Long Qianli laughed a little, "Lu Lin, you don’t seem like a student who just graduated high school. Just by your way of deflecting credit, you have a bright future ahead."

"However, you can rest assured that our Star Investigation Office values merit and combat power."

"As long as your achievements are ample and your combat power is strong, the Director will look forward to your performance."

"Without further ado, let me briefly introduce you to our Chongnuo City Star Coordinator Division Branch."

"Chongnuo City only has one Star Investigation Office branch, with eighteen groups and a total of 104 people."

"All groups are currently lacking personnel, so you are free to choose which group you’d like to join."

"In Chongnuo City, general cases are managed by the city’s Detective Department. Only major events will require our intervention."

"Therefore, relatively speaking, our work is quite leisurely."

"However, you must respond immediately and follow orders when the division needs you. Is this something you can do?"

"No problem."

Lu Lin answered without hesitation. If you’re in this line of work, you’d better do the job right.

Though Lu Lin wished to get paid without working, it was just a thought.

In this world, effort and rewards are proportional.

"Very good."

"However, don’t be too tense. You are, after all, a student who has just graduated high school and is still studying at university. We won’t assign you tasks that are considered highly dangerous."

"Next, the Star Investigation Office will conduct a combat power test and a Star Guide capability test on you. Are you okay with this?"

Lu Lin nodded.

"Good, in that case, let me add your contact. We might need some preparation for the test, and once it’s ready, I’ll contact you in advance to confirm the testing time."

"If there’s nothing else, you can return to the school first."

Long Qianli’s way of speaking and doing things was straightforward and efficient.

Once everything that needed arranging for Lu Lin was set, she was ready to let him leave.

"Director Long, wait a moment."

"I noticed that there’s a benefit for Elite Investigators of our Star Investigation Office to receive a housing unit. I wonder if I can claim it now."

"Of course."

Long Qianli stopped talking then.

At this moment, Chen Shanshan knocked twice before opening the door and entering.

"Director Long, Lu Lin, the coffee is here."

Chen Shanshan set down two cups of coffee.

"Shan Shan, wait a moment."

Long Qianli called Chen Shanshan, "Do you have the housing information for our division? Choose a place for Lu Lin, preferably near Luse Academy."

"Ahem."

Lu Lin coughed twice quickly, "Uh, Director Long, can I be assigned somewhere closer to Iron Blood College?"

There’s a distance between Iron Blood College and Luse Alliance College; one is in the city’s east, the other in the west. Although they are a 20-minute bus ride apart, Lu Lin preferred to be slightly farther from Luse Academy.

After all, it’s just a transitional place; there’s no need to arrange housing specifically there.

"No need; you’ll see the benefit of my arrangement in a few days."

"Lu Lin, it’s your first time on this Alien star and your first time in Chongnuo City. If you need help, you can contact Chen Shanshan, and she will help you get familiar with the surroundings."

"Alright, thank you, Director Long."

Having finished his business, Lu Lin followed Chen Shanshan out of Long Qianli’s office.

Seeing the closed room door, Long Qianli revealed a slight smile at the corner of her eye.

In the Star Investigation Office system, Lu Lin’s combat power was listed as at First level peak, but within her Perception, Lu Lin’s Star Veins had at least reached Level 2 Peak.

Moreover, Lu Lin exuded an aura similar to that of an exotic beast, suggesting to Long Qianli that Lu Lin might have cultivated some kind of body-refining Star Martial.

Although Lu Lin had the Perceive Star Skill, he wasn’t unmatched in this world.

Long Qianli was one of the few Star Core Warriors within the Star Investigation Office with a Perception talent.

This made her one of the standout intelligence analysts and interrogation experts within the Star Investigation Office.

Lu Lin followed Chen Shanshan back to the controllable room from earlier.

"Have a seat. I’ll help you check for any housing near Luse Academy."

"Thank you, Sister Shan Shan."

Lu Lin voiced his gratitude and sat on the sofa to wait.

During this time, his parents sent a few messages asking what happened with Feng Yuanyu.

After Bai Jingwei’s intervention and warning, the seven large families in East Forest stopped making small moves, and the public discussion targeting Lu Lin quickly died down.

Lu Lin briefly explained the situation and sent the text to his parents, just as Chen Shanshan was waving him over.

"Lu Lin, there are two suitable places near Luse Academy right now."

"One is a three-story villa of 1800 square meters located at No. 13 Keming Street; the other is a 280 square meter duplex in a residential area at No. 11 Keming Street."

"Which one do you prefer?"
