“Now, let’s start forming groups.”
In the Iron Thorn Shield Security Firm’s grand hall.
Kent stands in front of a group of security team members, holding a list.
Starting today, the security teams are to inspect the surface and underground areas of Sector 7.
Their task is to ensure that all alchemy devices used for collecting universal metal dust are functioning properly.
Kent is now dividing his subordinates into teams.
He called out dozens of names, then looked at the deputy captain and said:
“Mark, you’ll lead the team I just called to inspect the surface area. You’ll decide on the specific division of labor. Make sure to be thorough. Check whether the alchemical array of the powder collector devices is intact and if they need any maintenance. If they do, note it down and report it to the company. Understand?”
“Yes, Chief.”
Kent called out a few more names:
“The names that I just read are to accompany me to the underground area. Ray Lee, you’ll come with me. Fars Scott, you too, we’ll inspect the alchemy devices underground together.”
“Yes, Chief.”
Noland Lee responds with a glance at Fars beside him, who is full of worry, as if their laboratory had been bombed.
Kent claps and announces the end of the meeting:
“Now everybody get moving.”
He comes to Fars, pats him heavily on the shoulder, and says:
“Cheer up, Fars. We still need you to help adjust the alchemical array on-site. It’s just that the deadline for the Alchemy Academy’s research task is approaching, what’s there to be so worked up about?”
“You don’t understand. Kent. You don’t understand.” Fars looks very bitter:
“There are still many tasks in my research project that remain incomplete. If it weren’t for the fact that I could do some research during this trip underground, I wouldn’t even have had time for it.”
Kent shakes his head and says:
“It’s your own fault. The Alchemy Academy offers so many research tasks, but others only choose ones they can complete well. You, on the other hand, just choose the ones that interest you without considering the cost or difficulty of the research. So you end up taking on the development task for alchemical constructs.
“My advice is to take advantage of Spray Powder Day this time and put on a good performance. Kill more trouble-making aberrations, and you might just earn enough to cover the lab rent for the next half year. Isn’t that right?”
“Alright, you’re right. I should start taking aberrations seriously.” Fars sighs quietly, touching the alchemy stone hidden under his clothes:
“I’ve brought an alchemical construct with me this time, which should help kill quite a few aberrations. When the time comes, you better keep a clear count of my kills, Kent, not missing even a single one.”
