Her Talent for Courting Death Has Always Been Impressive - Chapter 34 Part 3
Yang Buqi struggled to control his expression and his restless toes. Xu Turan quietly looked at him, suddenly laughing.
“Besides, you don’t need to be so cautious. I know your secret now. Don’t you know mine too?” She leisurely poured a cup of tea, placed it on the turntable, and rotated it in front of Yang Buqi.
“The fake qualification Pu Han gave me, only you know about it. Rounding up, we’re even.”
Moreover, she actually quite liked Yang Buqi’s thinking—brave to try, facing difficulties head-on. It was a style she liked.
Yang Buqi looked at her deeply, lowered his head and picked up the cup of tea in front of him. Just as the tea touched his lips, he suddenly realized something and instantly put down the cup: “Wait, so you actually know your true qualification, right?”
Xu Turan: “…”
Damn. The conversation exploded.
“You haven’t told me how you completed the upgrade yet,” she decisively changed the subject. Seeing Yang Buqi’s troubled expression, she immediately added, “So you still have secrets, and I still have secrets too. Rounding up, we’re even again—perfect!”
Yang Buqi: “…”
No, who’s perfect with you!
He silently looked at Xu Turan, and after a moment, suddenly sighed, deflating his shoulders: “Feifei said you can take care of yourself.”
Xu Turan: “Hm?”
“But I’ve been in this field so many years longer than you, there must be some ways I can help you.” Yang Buqi raised his eyes to look at her, his tone very firm, “If you encounter any problems, no matter what, whether it’s convenient for others to know or not… you can come to me.”
“I will definitely help you.”
Sunlight shone in from outside the window, slanting across him. Xu Turan was momentarily dazed, feeling as if she had seen this scene somewhere before.
Then she saw her eyes narrow slightly, smiling gently, with a touch of sunlight on her eyes and the corners of her lips.
“Alright, you said it. I’ll remember that.”
“…”
Yang Buqi stared at her blankly, and it took a good while before he realized he was nodding gently.
However, facts proved that some people’s promises just can’t be relied upon.
An hour later, Xu Turan looked at the contract in front of her and launched what was probably her umpteenth desperate struggle.
“You said you would help me with anything—”
“Not including helping you take a leave of absence or drop out of school.” Yang Buqi replied without thinking, “But I can help you with tutoring… Be sensible. The benefits of the part-time agreement aren’t bad.”
Xu Turan: “…”
She looked at the part-time agreement in front of her and closed her eyes restrainedly.
She had miscalculated. She silently covered her face in her heart.
After all her calculations, she had forgotten the fact that the original body was only 19 years old!
In the past hour, Yang Buqi had taken Xu Turan to quickly understand the current operating system of the Ciji Institute. As a newcomer, Xu Turan had two choices—one was to receive initial training as an aid recipient, after which she could leave the Ciji Institute and operate independently. The other was to formally join the Ciji Institute, receive complete training and cultivation, and correspondingly, she would be obligated to “go on missions” according to the Ciji Institute’s arrangements to help more people.
Xu Turan had originally come to freeload on missions, and there were subsidies after formally joining, so of course she chose the second option. But just as she was about to sign the agreement, she discovered that Yang Buqi had given her a part-time agreement.
Part-time meant that her chances and number of courting death missions would be greatly reduced, which Xu Turan was of course unwilling to accept.
However, Yang Buqi’s reason was very sufficient—Xu Turan was only 19 now, just having finished the college entrance exam. In a while, she would receive an admission notice from the university.
Since she still had to go to school, it could only be considered part-time.
Xu Turan wasn’t happy: “I can not go! Or take a leave of absence! Which is more important, saving humanity or going to school?”
“Both are important!” Yang Buqi was very insistent, “I asked Feifei, she said you’re going to a good university…”
This wasn’t wrong. Xu Turan thought inwardly. Although she didn’t know how the original had filled out her college applications or how she had performed on the college entrance exam—she didn’t even know if she had taken the exam.
But the original later attended A University, which was considered a top-tier school in this world.
“But weren’t you also 19 when you entered the field?” Xu Turan refused to give up to the end, “Did you go to school then?”
“I did,” Yang Buqi said righteously. “Double degree, and I also took the intermediate interpretation and translation test, initial accounting qualification, teaching certification, and driver’s license. I can show you the certificates if you don’t believe me.”
Xu Turan: “…”
She shouldn’t have asked.
In any case, under Yang Buqi’s insistence, Xu Turan finally only signed a part-time agreement. According to the agreement, she needed to report to the Ciji Institute at least two days a week for training and to confirm her mental state. If her condition was stable, she could apply to the Ciji Institute for an upgrade, and the Ciji Institute would provide a certain degree of assistance—of course, she could also complete the upgrade on her own. However, after upgrading, she needed to report to the Ciji Institute.
As for missions, she could view and apply for them on the official public account after completing initial training. After applying, the team leader would make selections, and if she passed the screening, she could follow along to cour… to save humanity.
Her qualifications and ability tendencies were also submitted to the Ciji Institute’s database—at her strong request, Pu Han finally deleted the first five characters of “Invincible Cute Little Jade Rabbit”, and the final submitted version was “Jade Rabbit” and “Snow White”.
The ability tendencies were still registered as “Natural Disaster”, “Beast”, and “Eternal Day”.
“Initial Eternal Day ability users generally have two directions: controlling light and shadow, and controlling emotions,” Yang Buqi reminded her in a low voice as he saw her off. “If others ask, just say you lean towards the second direction. As long as no one makes you upgrade in this direction, it probably won’t be exposed.”
In fact, with the premise of having a “Natural Disaster” tendency, the organization probably wouldn’t encourage her to upgrade “Eternal Day”—compared to it, Natural Disaster functionality and stability were much stronger.
Xu Turan nodded understandingly and got into the car sent by the assistant under Yang Buqi’s watchful gaze. The smile at the corners of her mouth disappeared as soon as the car door closed.
False qualifications, false ability tendencies… She hadn’t quite understood why Feifei wanted to specially forge appraisal results for her, but after a long talk with Yang Buqi, she understood.
