Director Nie was from Qingyang County. Once the report came out, the entire county was stirred up!

This was something worth being proud of and happy about.

In a single day, it had become known to every household.

Patrol Bureau of Qingyang County, Dragon Country.

The patrol guards were the umbrella protecting public security throughout the city, the sturdy shield safeguarding the people's lives.

Director's office.

"Director Tan, this is already the second person today to report something concerning Pingzhuang Public Cemetery!"

"Just like the previous person, they have no concrete evidence. However, the scenes they described in both statements match up rather closely!"

A young officer in a Dragon Country uniform handed Director Tan a file of records and reported.

Reports had suddenly come in today that a mysterious group had allegedly appeared at Pingzhuang Public Cemetery. They claimed that more than a hundred people in black, along with a mysterious elderly man in a Zhongshan suit, had appeared there. Those people had incredibly powerful presences and did not seem ordinary.

Director Tan took the file and looked it over, finding little difference between the reports. Both had discovered a mysterious group inside the cemetery.

There were no photos, no videos, and it seemed the other party had not even done anything. They had merely attended a funeral.

Nothing had happened.

His brows immediately furrowed as he said in a low voice:

"As far as I know, there are no surveillance cameras around Pingzhuang Public Cemetery. Gathering evidence will probably not be easy."

"If more than a hundred people in black really appeared, I believe they must have left an impression on others along the way. It shouldn't be difficult to trace the movements of over a hundred people! Based on the time they mentioned, it seems to have been the day of the funeral for the father of Director Nie, the man from our county who participated in the national development of the Super Yuan Dual Wave Missile! If we can find the other people who attended the funeral that day and quietly investigate for a while, the truth should come to light!"

The young officer hurriedly said. A scene in which more than a hundred people suddenly appeared in matching, peculiar attire had to be suspicious in his eyes!

Director Tan was far less enthusiastic about it.

He pressed the report onto the desk and said calmly:

"You may spare some time to send someone to look into it, but don't delay other cases. This is merely hearsay, and no harmful incident occurred. Making a fuss over nothing could easily create a bad impact instead!"

"Yes! You're right, Director!"

The young officer froze, somewhat surprised by the director's reaction.

Seeing that the director had pressed down the records and had no intention of returning them to him, he cautiously asked:

"Then... how about I investigate this matter? Maybe I can hook a big fish!"

"Enough. Put away those little schemes of yours. The real big fish are already in your hands. Go do your work properly. I'll assign someone else to investigate this matter. Settle the cases you're currently handling first!"

Director Tan dismissed the officer in just a few words.

Only after the officer left the office did his gaze fall upon the two records.

His fingers tapped rhythmically against the two files on the desk.

His gaze deepened.

He had heard that a leader would soon come to visit Director Nie. Since yesterday, security around Pingzhuang Public Cemetery had secretly been taken over by the military. Even the current patrol team had no authority to investigate the matter. Since it was a confidential notice from above, the Patrol Bureau could not look into it for the mysterious leader's safety.

Besides, the matter did not seem harmful in any way. It had merely frightened some people.

Perhaps they had simply witnessed the entourage of some high-ranking leader.

So he still needed to keep this matter suppressed for now.

Once the special takeover over there ended, he could coordinate with the military, and he should then understand the whole story.

With that thought, Director Tan stuffed the two files into a drawer.

He would leave it alone for now~

Elsewhere.

Su's Funeral Company.

Su Chen had originally thought the task would be settled after the funeral that day. Instead, it had been delayed for two or three days. Only after Nie Xing's identity was exposed did the system finally begin the settlement process.

After returning from Pingzhuang Public Cemetery, he stepped into the shop.

The system's voice sounded!

The third task has been successfully completed. Settlement is now underway!

Hearing that voice, Su Chen's eyes filled with anticipation.

This involved a million yuan. It was impossible not to be excited!

The system's voice continued:

Task completion rating: Perfect! Task completion reward: Hundredfold monetary increase! One Perfect Wheel draw! Reward issued. One million yuan has been deposited into your account. Please check it!

His phone vibrated. He was a millionaire!

Suppressing his excitement, Su Chen glanced at the text notification for the million-yuan deposit and felt a burst of secret delight!

He had not expected to earn a million yuan from this business in less than a month!

The system's notifications had not yet ended:

Ding! Having achieved a perfect task rating three times in a row, you have gained an opportunity to improve your own strength, as well as a more intuitive way to view customer information and final wishes! Reminder: Only by helping customers complete their funerals and fulfill their corresponding final wishes can a task be rated Perfect!

Su Chen listened to the system prompt and frowned slightly.

Final wishes... In these past few tasks, he seemed to have stumbled into fulfilling the targets' final wishes, thus receiving perfect ratings.

He had been pretty lucky~

The system's reminder had come at just the right time. When accepting a task next time, he could ask about the target's final wish. That way, he would be more certain of obtaining a perfect rating.

What puzzled him was this:

Achieving perfection three times in a row could actually improve his strength!?

Wait, did he even need to improve his strength?

Suddenly, a tingling sensation rose from the soles of Su Chen's feet, catching him completely off guard! Just as he nearly fell to the ground, that heavenly, floating sensation came with a jolt—then vanished!

Three seconds!?

Su Chen's mouth twitched. Would it kill the system to make it last a little longer?

There was a mirror in the company. He looked toward it and could see the changes in his body reflected within.

In only three seconds, his physique had clearly become more robust. It was not an outward bulk, but restrained explosive muscle power. His originally handsome face had become even more sharply defined than a celebrity's, gaining a touch of heroic spirit. He was more energetic, and it felt as though endless strength could be called upon from all four limbs!

He had not expected the system to have such an effect.

Ding! Your abilities in all aspects have been successfully improved. Intelligence, physical strength, agility, and appearance have all been greatly enhanced! Ding! It has been detected that the host has unlocked the function to independently choose task targets. Friendly reminder: The system's automatic task-target assignment function remains active. If needed, the host may disable it at any time!

After completing Tang Ying's task last time, he had unlocked the ability to manually seek out and select targets.

However, the system had always found those targets in need for him, which was quite nice. People in need would receive his advertisement, and once a target had an idea, they would contact him through it.

Wasn't that the equivalent of hiring a salesperson? An intelligent salesperson, at that.

Why not use something free?

He definitely could not turn it off~

At that moment, his phone rang.

He answered it casually, and the familiar voice of his best friend came from the other end:

"Hello! Is this Su Chen?"

An apology.

I was too sleepy last night and fell asleep halfway through writing. I'll make up for it tonight.

There will be two more chapters later. They'll be posted tonight.
