Full-Time Public Enemy-Chapter 555 - 463 The Second Practice Class

During the afternoon practical combat class, Shangguan Yuqing was clearly eager to participate, but Shang Qingye, who stood beside her with an ever-stoic expression, persuaded her not to embarrass herself by challenging Chen Gu.

Throughout the entire class, Chen Gu sat there like a mascot. Bai Zhijin, like an eggplant battered by frost, was completely wilted.

At the end of the class, Director Xue came in and announced, "The second practical training session for your year is about to begin. Everyone, get ready."

The implication was clear: You scions of influential families, quickly get your families to prepare all sorts of life-saving equipment for you!

Chen Gu turned his head to see Qiao Shuangyi and Lin Xiaochen looking like fawning lackeys. "Brother Cheeen—" they drawled, dragging out the last syllable.

Chen Gu shuddered. "Anything, anything can be discussed."

After finally extricating himself, Chen Gu slipped away to call Shangguan Yuxie. This key successor, carefully groomed by the Shangguan family, possessed a striking, roguish charm. Shangguan Yuxie didn't beat around the bush, asking directly, "Are you interested?"

"Why me?"

"My original intention was to cooperate with the Qiao Family. If they joined, I planned to propose they invite you as well. However, Qiao Shuangyi must have consulted his family. They clearly don't want to participate, so he directly relayed the information to you."

Chen Gu had a moment of realization. Even if Qiao Shuangyi is a bit dense and naive, something as significant as a Star Tomb of Super Life Forms would naturally prompt him to report to his family elders first.

Shangguan Yuxie continued, "The fact that you're a multi-class professional is hardly a secret anymore. Star Tomb exploration involves facing numerous dangerous and bizarre situations, and your abilities are exceptionally well-suited for such circumstances. In the past, similar explorations often required sacrificing many professionals, leading to significant losses for us. A large portion of these losses weren't from direct combat with dangers. Instead, they occurred when facing various bizarre situations that required coordination among multiple professionals—and such multi-person cooperation is always prone to errors. If it were you, however, you could handle such situations alone."

"However, I can't promise you specific benefits in advance. You know how precious Super Life Forms are. The advantages you ultimately gain will depend entirely on your performance during the exploration."

Chen Gu nodded. "That's only fair."

"So, are you in?"

Chen Gu agreed. "Alright! But we're about to start our second internship, and it's going to be quite long..."

Shangguan Yuxie replied, "That won't be an issue. We still need some time to prepare on our end. Just rendezvous with us after you finish this internship."

He added a further request, "For my sake, please look after my younger sister a bit."

"No problem," Chen Gu replied.

The Digital Group seemed to have been severely impacted by the last incident. They had gone into hiding and hadn't been heard from since.

Meanwhile, the Bureau of Mystic Security diligently continued its search for clues, remaining ever vigilant.

That day, Ding Zhou finally concluded the arduous negotiations with Bai Yunpeng regarding the film investment. The Bureau of Mystic Security would contribute sixty percent of the funds, and the military the remaining forty percent. If the film turned a profit, the earnings would also be divided according to this ratio.

But making money from this film... Both leaders could only manage a dry chuckle at the thought. Could one really expect a special agent from the Bureau of Mystic Security to act?

Learning to act by cramming at the last minute—the best they could hope for was that it wouldn't be too embarrassing.

As for why they didn't just minimize the investment and churn out a low-quality film to get it over with—after such extensive promotional efforts, producing a slapdash movie would be utterly illogical.

After all, this wasn't Chen Gu's previous life; this was the Interstellar Age.

Besides, both knew that if the film were shoddily made, Chen Gu would be displeased and might genuinely refuse to cooperate. He was now a star player in the Behemoth Alliance, with an idol's image to uphold, and he needed to protect his reputation.

Therefore, both were acutely aware that while the movie could fail at the box office, it absolutely could not become a blight on Chen Gu's career.

Ding Zhou personally took charge of this, arranging for an acting coach for Chen Gu. The coach arrived today, and just as Ding Zhou was about to call Chen Gu over, the office door was suddenly pushed open. Aviloya and Rainbow, whom he hadn't seen in a long time, walked in together.

"Director-General!" Ding Zhou exclaimed, pleasantly surprised. "You've recovered?"

Aviloya nodded, then her gaze fell upon a mature woman standing to one side, exuding an air of intellectual beauty.

"And this is?" Aviloya inquired.

Ding Zhou quickly explained, "This is the acting coach we've found for Chen Gu."

Aviloya raised her eyebrows, looking as though she wanted to say something but ultimately refrained.

Ever since becoming the Director-General of the Bureau of Mystic Security, she had never experienced such a long period of complete 'downtime.' She had often wondered in the past when she might finally get a proper break.

But now that she was truly idle, she felt incredibly restless, almost antsy.

Having completed her Purification, she had rushed back immediately, unable to wait a moment longer. During her journey, she had listened to Qing Ruyan's report and was already aware of the recent events at the Bureau.

But sending Chen Gu to make a movie? With an investment exceeding five hundred million? What kind of harebrained scheme was this? Which brilliant mind came up with such an idea on a whim?

However, Chen Gu had just saved her, and the project was already underway. Swallowing her reservations, she said, "For matters like this, let the professionals take charge. Contact Gao Mengjiu and ask him to oversee it." 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Understood," Ding Zhou replied.

Regarding the fact that Chen Gu had saved her life, Aviloya's emotions were complicated. She herself couldn't quite articulate her feelings towards this young 'thief' anymore.

She dismissed Ding Zhou, then turned and sat down in her own chair. She let out a long breath. It felt good to be back; a sense of solid reassurance washed over her.
