Saving the World in an Apocalypse-Style Text Game

Chapter 19: Chapter 20 Intelligence Team_1 Chapter 19: Chapter 20 Intelligence Team_1 “Xiaoxi, take Lin Xun to the meeting room for a brief rest while I notify… wait a minute!”

As Li Xingyue was about to ask the two to step aside for a while, she suddenly remembered something. “Lin Xun, which chapter of the game have you currently reached?”

Lin Xun thought for a moment. He was currently stuck in a chapter and needed related information from the game world; preferably game strategies. So he answered, “I’m still in the original chapter I entered, Chapter 323.”

After saying this, he saw that Ye Xiaoqi had a speechless expression on her face. He immediately understood that he must have unknowingly bragged again.

Was there also a problem with the chapter I entered? Lin Xun did not know what kind of expression he should wear.

Li Xingyue squinted her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, “Xiaoxi, take Lin Xun to the meeting room to wait for a while.”

Ye Xiaoqi acknowledged and then left the office with Lin Xun.

Watching Lin Xun’s retreating figure, Li Xingyue appeared thoughtful.

…

Yunjing city, the Apostles Safety council headquarter building.

In a spacious office at the top of the towering building.

A middle-aged man in a black suit was sitting cross-legged with his eyes tightly closed..

Strangely, his body was floating in mid-air, quietly meditating.

Thump, thump, thump!

The office door was knocked.

The middle-aged man frowned slightly. He had instructed that he should not be disturbed when he was “meditating.”

“Come in!”

A glamorous secretary entered, not at all surprised seeing the man hovering in mid-air. She bowed and said, “Chairman Li, Li Xingyue, the head of the intelligence team from the Wencheng branch, has an important matter to consult you.”

She then handed the phone she held to the middle-aged man.

The man laughed and shook his head, “This girl, she’s making a big fuss out of a small matter. Why doesn’t she call my private phone? Instead, she had to contact me, her uncle, through the organization.”

“What’s the matter, little girl…”

Seeing that Deputy Chairman Li took over the phone, the secretary quietly retreated.

Closing the office door, she stole a glance at the chairman’s expression and found that Chairman Li had only spoken for a few moments before he appeared dumbfounded and shocked.

What situation could cause the usually calm chairman to lose his composure?

The secretary dared not look any further and hastily left the office.

“Thud.” The sound of a body falling to the floor can be heard clearly even through the office door.

“This apostle! He must be brought to headquarters!”

“What? This fellow is your guy! You little girl, you’re going to kill me!”

A great roar came from the office.

The secretary maintained her composure. She saw nothing, she heard nothing.

…

Entering the meeting room, the room was empty. A long table was placed in the middle and black chairs sat around it.

Ye Xiaoqi swung her slim hips onto the conference table and freely swung her little white legs. “Do you want to know what sets you apart this time?”

Lin Xun nodded, thinking this question was completely unnecessary.

Ye Xiaoqi gave an ingenuous laugh, revealing her small white teeth, “I heard that there’s a new barbecue restaurant in the pedestrian street.”

“My treat.”

Lin Xun answered very decisively. It’s perfectly normal for a newcomer in the unit to treat their colleagues to a meal.

“Good taste. I’m counting on you,” Ye Xiaoqi patted Lin Xun’s shoulder with a big-sisterly air, “I won’t keep you guessing anymore~. According to the information we have collected, the ending digit of a chapter in the game usually represents the difficulty level of the chapter.”

“From zero to nine, the difficulty level gradually increases. Ten chapters make up a volume, and a volume is a complete independent game world.”

“Generally speaking, newbie apostles enter the game randomly at the initial chapter ending with zero.”

“The initial chapter is very simple, similar to a beginner’s tutorial, anyone with a normal brain can pass it.”

“It would be normal if you entered Chapter 320.”

“Entering Chapter 323 means that the game’s assessment of you is far beyond the difficulty of the initial chapter.”

Lin Xun nodded, thinking that wasn’t surprising. If he hadn’t had the Thousand Faces and Million Forms talent, he would’ve been stuck at the horde of monsters considering the game’s difficult level.

Ye Xiaoqi pulled out her phone and sent a text message.

“The URL and your account information for the Apostle Forum is in the text message. If you want to understand more information or intelligence, you can log into the forum. I’ve already given you permissions for the Intelligence Team. You’ll see lots of hidden content~”
After he received the message, Ye Xiaoqi suggested going to the second floor to introduce him to their colleagues.

The two got on the elevator to the second floor.

A ding sounded, and the elevator doors opened.

The layout of the second floor was completely different from the first and third floors; there were no separate offices.

A significant part of the partitions had been demolished, leaving only a few separate rooms on either side.

At a glance, Lin Xun could see signs such as gym, lounge, rest area, and dining room displayed at the sides of the doors.

A series of modern workstations were arranged in the center of the second floor.

However, most workstations were empty, and there were only two women huddled together at an adjacent desk, seemingly watching a drama.

As soon as the elevator door opened, both women simultaneously shifted their gazes over.

Lin Xun was instantly dazzled.

The woman on the left had big wavy hair, a delicate and captivating face, and bright red lipstick. She was wearing a single-shoulder tight-fitting dress with a high slit up to her thighs.

Her figure could be described as mountains gathering and waves furiously crashing. She appeared to be in her late twenties, not yet thirty, a full-fledged mature beauty.

The woman on the right… was identical to the one on the left.

“Twin beauties!” Lin Xun was shocked.

“Xiaoxi, what’s this handsome guy here for?” asked the woman on the left.

“Sister, aren’t you silly? He must be a benefit provided by the company.” The woman on the right confidently declared.

“Oh, but there’s only one of him, not enough to share between us.”

“Hey, sister, why be so polite with me? What’s yours is mine, and what’s mine is yours.”

“That’s true…”
Both beauties stared at Lin Xun with intense eyes.

What kind of wolfish talk is this?

Lin Xun covered his chest with both hands and subtly took a half-step back.

Ye Xiaoqi pulled him up to the two women and said, “This is Lin Xun, our new colleague.”

“A colleague, huh. Then it wouldn’t be right to make a move.” The woman on the left lamented in disappointment.

“Sister, you’re so slow! Isn’t an office romance even more exciting?” The woman on the right bit her red lip and said.

Lin Xun twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking that this colleague was a bit unreliable.

“Alright, Sister Yun, Sister Ying. Stop teasing him; we rarely get a male member in the intelligence team, don’t scare him off.”

The two women instantly retracted their flirtatious manner, giving Lin Xun a straight face with a dignified smile, and extended their fair hands from left and right.

“We were just joking earlier.” “Hope you don’t mind.”

“I’m An Yun.” “I’m An Ying.”

Lin Xun stepped forward to shake their hands and introduced himself, “I’m Lin Xun, new to you… company. Please guide me in the future.”

“Sure, sure, shall we add each other on our reading club?” The two women looked at him with a smiles.

“…” Lin Xun didn’t know how to respond.

Ye Xiaoxi came to his rescue, “He’s a novice, it’s his first time, so it’s not quite convenient.”

“Oh~ I see.” The women made an OK gesture.

The four found some chairs, sat down, and started chatting.

Lin Xun learned from his three female colleagues about the relaxed nature of the intelligence team in Wencheng, which comprised of a little over ten core personnel.

Since the company didn’t implement time clocks, employees rarely came to the company.

After he joined, he wouldn’t need to come to the company every day. He just had to cooperate actively when tasks were assigned by the organization.

Knowing such a work atmosphere, Lin Xun felt this job was amazingly cool.

He didn’t have to pretend to work and could even avoid coming to the office. He only needed to show up when there were tasks; otherwise, he could stay home.

After a good while of chatting, Li Xingyue notified Lin Xun to go upstairs.

Upon entering the leader’s office, he found this gorgeous woman in black stockings beaming with satisfaction.

She handed him an employment notice, which carried the large red seal of the Bureau of Culture of Wencheng.

After Lin Xun read the notice carefully, he accepted the appointment letter.

Moved by the reason of a monthly salary of 100,000, not to mention the bonuses for tasks, holiday benefits, year-end bonuses, and other extra incomes.

Li Xingyue revealed a satisfied smile and put away the contract.

“Alright, you can go home now. Tomorrow at noon, report to the company on time.”

Lin Xun was stunned: “Huh? Didn’t you say I don’t need to come to the company?”

“You’re planning to skip work as soon as you joined?”

“Leader Li, do you mean…”
“Yes, there’s a task tomorrow!”
