Happy Guessing Game: [Hahahaha my god!]

Happy Guessing Game: [Approaching Science’s mockery is absolutely brilliant!]

Because the submitter chose to make it public, everyone could see the acceptor and the submitted content.

The water-cooler section quickly became lively again.

89L:

Hahahahaha the person who posted the task must be going crazy with anger after seeing this, right?

90L:

Dying of laughter, they didn’t even bother to investigate, and they aren’t afraid of being investigated either.

92L:

Awesome! I just love seeing this kind of development!

93L: Did Approaching Science not investigate, or could they not find anything?

94L:

Who cares if they can find anything or not, do you see the person who posted the task daring to show their face?

96L:

93rd floor, you wouldn’t happen to be the one who posted the task, would you?

The account from the 93rd floor never showed its face again.

98L:

The task has been canceled.

99L: Hahahahaha today’s happiness was given by Approaching Science.

Ji Yueming had previously gone to read the golden quotes of Approaching Science helping her roast the anti-fans, and only now saw this thread.

The more she read, the happier she became.

At her level, she had long stopped caring about the storms of public opinion, but seeing someone work so hard to defend her still made her feel warm.

Oh my, how could this child Approaching Science be so cute!

And quite temperamental too.

It’s good; having a temper means they won’t be taken advantage of.

However, as for the matter of poaching them, it might not necessarily succeed. In the forum, the one who caused a stir at the same time besides her was the Chongming Demon King. The cleaning up of the posts smearing the Chongming Demon King and Approaching Science speaking up for her happened almost simultaneously.

This matter had been dragging on for a while, and now that it was suddenly dealt with at the same time, it was likely that Approaching Science discovered it first and then notified Luowang to handle it together.

Approaching Science also cared a lot about the Chongming Demon King. The Chongming Demon King had a personality that was very protective of the younger generation. He certainly took good care of Approaching Science, and with him around, it would be difficult for Approaching Science to lean towards the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

Therefore, when Ning Xi sent a message again to ask if she could poach them, Ji Yueming refused.

Ning Xi didn’t pester her either and directly changed the subject.

Ning Xi: [There’s no rush for this, how are you filling out your assessment form?]

Ji Yueming: […]

Tianshi: [I think you are still not busy enough.]

He still had the energy to scroll through the forum, and after scrolling through the forum, he could continue to stare at her assessment form.

Ning Xi: [It’s alright.]

Ning Xi: [I pulled Tu Yue and Lingzhou over to help.]

The pitiful Da Wule Lingzhou Wendi had only gone to watch the commotion once, and hadn’t been able to rest until now.

Tu Yue was an information-type supernatural power user of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau. Known as the “Librarian,” his identity security level was the highest within the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau; not many people even within the bureau knew of his existence.

His ability was considered quite comprehensive among information-types, whereas Nie Yu specialized in the network-type. The two jointly guarded the internal information security of the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau.

However, besides his official position within the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, Tu Yue also had an alternate identity in the forum: Book of Secrets.

This wasn’t because the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau was exploiting his labor; Tu Yue himself just liked creating alternate identities everywhere. Book of Secrets was just one of his more famous ones. Because he had daily work within the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau, his life was quite busy, so the persona of Book of Secrets was the type of person who spoke less and was serious and aloof.

At this moment, he was lurking in the small group chat of the information-type bigshots, watching a group of people lively digging up Approaching Science’s background for gossip.

Happy Guessing Game: [Hey, why do you guys think he hasn’t joined any circles?]

Happy Guessing Game: [With his personality, it would definitely be fun if he came in.]

Pure White Puzzle: [I remember Approaching Science didn’t have this style at the beginning.]

Waltz: [He couldn’t let loose when he first came to the forum?]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [I remember he was very reserved when he first came to the forum.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [At that time, someone smeared him, and he dug out that the other party was a fugitive. He posted the information and didn’t say a single extra word.]

Too Lazy to Pick a Screen Name: [Look at him now, tsk tsk tsk.]

Too Lazy to Pick a Screen Name: [His roasting is so crisp!]

Pure White Puzzle: [It started from that time he spoke up for the Chongming Demon King, right? His style changed.]

Happy Guessing Game: [I checked, that was the first time he roasted someone on the forum.]

Happy Guessing Game: [But his style back then wasn’t as wild as it is now.]

Happy Guessing Game: [This current mocking energy, I keep feeling it’s a bit familiar.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: […It’s like the wildest, most mocking one in our forum.]

Pure White Puzzle: [I Just Saved The World!]

Love Eating Pineapple Buns: [I Just Saved The World!]

Too Lazy to Pick a Screen Name: [I Just Saved The World!]

…

Happy Guessing Game: [[Sudden realization]]

Happy Guessing Game: [I knew it looked familiar!]

Happy Guessing Game: [This guy sought me out for a co-op task before, he was wildly stylish.]

Happy Guessing Game: [Right off the bat, he sent me that three-party wanted poster for Deep Shadow and asked if I could investigate it.]

Happy Guessing Game: [As if he could catch Deep Shadow if I found anything.]

Pure White Puzzle: [I was also sent Deep Shadow’s wanted poster by him.]

Waltz: [Me too.]

Too Lazy to Pick a Screen Name: [Me too.]

…

Gnawing a Big Melon: [Everyone has been mocked by him…] Gnawing a Big Melon: [Then I have another piece of gossip.] Gnawing a Big Melon: [It can probably explain why Approaching Science’s style is becoming more and more like ‘I Just Saved The World!’]

Happy Guessing Game: [Speak.]

Pure White Puzzle: [Waiting for gossip.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [I suspect the two of them have a long-term collaboration.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [It’s hard to say exactly how many times, but there was at least one collaboration that ‘I Just Saved The World!’ was very satisfied with.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [Approaching Science once jumped directly from outside the points leaderboard onto the board, leaping past several places in one go.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [‘I Just Saved The World!’ dropped one place on the points leaderboard during the same period.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [I estimate that ‘I Just Saved The World!’ transferred a large amount of points to him.]

Gnawing a Big Melon: [[Image][Image]] Gnawing a Big Melon: [These are the screenshots from that time.]

Happy Guessing Game: […]

Happy Guessing Game: [Ah…]

Happy Guessing Game: [For a moment, I actually don’t know what to say.]

Happy Guessing Game: [Should I sigh with emotion that Approaching Science was actually able to handle that chuunibyou ‘I Just Saved The World!’?]

Happy Guessing Game: [Or should I sigh that that chuunibyou ‘I Just Saved The World!’ led our reserve group member astray?]

Pure White Puzzle: [I’m very curious about Approaching Science’s abilities.]

Pure White Puzzle: [What level of strength must he have to satisfy ‘I Just Saved The World!’?]

Pure White Puzzle: [Did Approaching Science really find news about Deep Shadow?]

Waltz: [Looking at his task records, his ability direction is quite comprehensive.]

Waltz: [Otherwise he wouldn’t have managed to not join a single circle until now.]

Happy Guessing Game: [@Book of Secrets, Ao-ao, do you have any deeper news?] Happy Guessing Game: [How is the relationship between Approaching Science and ‘I Just Saved The World!’?] Happy Guessing Game: [Did he find out about Deep Shadow?] Happy Guessing Game: [After finding out, did ‘I Just Saved The World!’ go catch Deep Shadow?] Happy Guessing Game: [Did he fight with Deep Shadow?] Happy Guessing Game: [Did Deep Shadow ruthlessly beat up ‘I Just Saved The World!’?]

Tu Yue didn’t bother to reply to him.

He just couldn’t stand the way this group of people dawdled.

Ning Xi too, putting in so much effort trying to pull a person into the bureau.

Is there any need for that? As long as they can make Approaching Science feel that the Abnormal Affairs Management Bureau is a pretty good organization and is willing to do work for the bureau, isn’t that enough? Isn’t joining or not just a title?

Isn’t he doing the same right now—working as the librarian in the bureau while simultaneously taking on tasks outside using his Book of Secrets alternate identity? In order to maintain the breadth of information access for this “Book of Secrets” identity, he always acted impartial when using it; he had even accepted tasks given to him by the Wan Yao Alliance.

Isn’t this roughly the same state as Approaching Science? It’s just that Approaching Science solely takes task rewards, whereas he has a salary, bonuses, and various insurances. Employing Approaching Science actually saves them money.

If they’re afraid Approaching Science isn’t reliable enough because he hasn’t joined the bureau, then just become friends with him. The bureau has Tianshi as an inside identity, so wouldn’t it be fine for him to make friends using an outside identity? The Book of Secrets identity was just perfect.

Anyway, based on his observations over this period, coupled with Tianshi’s senses, at the very least, Approaching Science’s character wasn’t a problem.

Tu Yue was a man of action; he directly used the identity of Book of Secrets to seek out Approaching Science and asked if he wanted to join the group.

Zhan Yan was a little confused when he received the message from Book of Secrets.

He knew Book of Secrets was a famous information-type bigshot in the forum, but the two of them had never interacted before.

Book of Secrets invited him to join a chat group? What chat group?

Book of Secrets then explained it to him.

Book of Secrets: [You should have received this kind of invitation before.]

Book of Secrets: [You haven’t joined any, do you have any concerns?]

If you have concerns, just say them. After talking it out and resolving them, everyone can make friends—how nice would that be.

Zhan Yan was bewildered for a moment and began to scroll through his private inbox… His private inbox had already been cleared out by him.

So he opened the Gossip System and started searching:

[Ten Crosses sent a private message inviting Approaching Science to join the Red Sea Secret Society, but received no response.]

…

[Iron Pen Calligraphy sent a private message inviting Approaching Science to join the Chain Brake, but received no response.]

…

[Uleheu sent a private message inviting Approaching Science to join the Three Gods Society, but received no response.]

Zhan Yan: …

Can you information-type people give your chat rooms a slightly more normal name?!

When he first saw these names, he thought they were secret organizations for people with supernatural powers, and he believed that such wide-net casting secret organizations were up to no good, with a high probability of wanting to trick newcomers into becoming cannon fodder. Because Approaching Science had a lot of private messages, he didn’t have the time to investigate each one individually; after glancing at them, he just deleted them directly.

Fine. Now that he knew, joining one would be pretty good.

The Gossip System’s ability still had limitations. His current level wasn’t high enough. For some entries, if he didn’t change the keyword combinations, the timeline he could scroll back through was limited. There was also a lot of news that, although the Gossip System could find it, if he didn’t know about it to search for it himself, he still wouldn’t be able to see it. He needed to broaden his information scope.

The information in the water-cooler section was all very shallow; there was no deep-level information. Book of Secrets’ this… this “Have You Gossiped Today?” group was a very good channel.

However, he still had a few questions, and before joining, he also needed to understand this chat group a bit more to see if it was really as Book of Secrets claimed, to avoid being scammed.

Approaching Science: [I just join directly? Is there no assessment needed?]

Book of Secrets: [Having an old member recommend and guarantee you is also fine.]

Book of Secrets: [I have the qualification to recommend.]

He was one of the founding members who formed the chat group back then. Moreover, the members of the group were generally in favor of Approaching Science joining.

Zhan Yan had already used the Gossip System to search for the gossip entries on the “Have You Gossiped Today?” chat group.

He discovered that the information-type bigshots in the group were using “who can find news on Approaching Science” as a betting game. On the surface, they were laughing and joking, but in reality, they had already turned who could be the first to find out into a competition.

It was like grinding daily tasks. Pure White Puzzle verbally claimed to be too lazy to check, but in reality, tried for an hour every night before bed. Love Eating Pineapple Buns seemed to not care, but in reality, used their supernatural power to brush through the grey fog whenever they had free time every day; their utilization of fragmented time was extremely high. Happy Guessing Game was the same, using his information grey fog as a training ground for their supernatural power. Every single one of them was secretly competing!

Zhan Yan: ???

Is there something wrong with you all?

Are this group of information-type bigshots really this idle?

He still had to join the group.

However, their group didn’t use the channels of the chaofan forum; it was a channel they had made themselves. The information-type bigshots were not entirely comfortable handing over their information security to others.

Zhan Yan didn’t mind. After getting the address from Book of Secrets, he connected directly through the Gossip System. He didn’t pay much attention when registering a name, casually typing in two numbers, “99”.

After joining the group, Zhan Yan found that newly joined people could see the chat logs within that day. There was also an announcement task board in the group, and his prize pool was impressively listed on it.

Seeing that large sum of points, Zhan Yan craved it.

He still had to save up points to exchange for Lightning Talismans for his boyfriend! If the Artisan agreed to his custom order, that would be another massive sum of points.

Consequently, Zhan Yan replied to the pile of content Happy Guessing Game had asked about his news.

99 replying to Happy Guessing Game: [Does this also count as digging up news about Approaching Science? Can I get a share of the prize pool?]

Happy Guessing Game: [A newcomer arrived, huh.]

Happy Guessing Game: [It counts.] Happy Guessing Game: [@Book of Secrets who did you pull in?]

Zhan Yan immediately began to answer Happy Guessing Game’s questions one by one.

99: [The relationship between the two is alright, they’ve had a few collaborations. ‘I Just Saved The World!’ is very generous; his temper is pretty rotten, but as a person, he is quite good.]

99: [Approaching Science found out a little bit of news on Deep Shadow, but not much.]

99: [‘I Just Saved The World!’ didn’t go to catch Deep Shadow, and they didn’t fight.]

Happy Guessing Game: [Whoa!]

Happy Guessing Game: [The newcomer is pretty impressive!]

Happy Guessing Game: [Wait until we finish verifying it before deciding whether to give you the prize pool or not.]

Although they had no way to find this news themselves, once they received the news, they could use their supernatural powers to confirm whether the news was true or false.

Book of Secrets belatedly arrived:

Book of Secrets: [Give it to him.]

Book of Secrets: [He is Approaching Science.]

The group instantly fell into a dead silence.
