An Unusual Stroke of Strong Luck

"What?"

"You found a job?!"

Binhai University was considered one of the better universities in East Xia. It was nothing unusual for soon-to-be graduates to find jobs.

But what Teacher Zhang found unusual was that the one who had quietly found a job without a word was actually Bai Cangshu.

She had even thought Bai Cangshu would live in Dorm 1314 like a Bound Spirit until graduation, and that one day she would see this student on some legal affairs program.

Bai Cangshu smiled and nodded. That appearance of his firmly captured the gazes of several junior girls who had just joined the student union in the office.

The only pity was that this senior seemed to be nearing graduation and had already found a job. Sigh…

"Yes, Teacher Zhang. After carefully considering my future path recently, I felt that a life of going out to work, earning a large sum of money, and buying a big house suited me better."

Bai Cangshu told an utterly baseless lie, yet somehow made it impossible to refuse him.

Teacher Zhang frowned. From the second semester of junior year onward, their department no longer had many specialized courses. Most students were preparing for various professional or qualification exams, or directly interning at companies to gain experience.

It was perfectly normal for Bai Cangshu to find a job. In fact, fewer people in their class were still staying at school.

But this was Bai Cangshu…

After considering it for a moment, Teacher Zhang asked,

"What company is it, and where is the job located?"

"You know how many graduates have recently been deceived by shell companies. Not only do they waste their tripartite agreements, but some girls have even been cheated out of both money and their bodies."

Teacher Zhang worried that Bai Cangshu’s sudden change of mind meant he had encountered some kind of scam.

Bai Cangshu narrowed his eyes. Teacher Zhang seemed to always care about all sorts of things involving him, even though they only happened to share the relationship of student and teacher.

He did not understand why people did such meaningless things.

Bai Cangshu’s expression remained unchanged as he took out his phone and showed her an email. It was an electronic offer letter.

"Don’t worry, Teacher Zhang. How could I not know what kinds of companies are scams or pyramid schemes?"

Teacher Zhang checked the company seal and searched online. It was a company based in Yunnan, East Xia, mainly engaged in international timber trade. The position offered to Bai Cangshu was consulting advisor.

The company’s official website was quite polished, and its financial resources seemed substantial as well.

Teacher Zhang finally relaxed and returned Bai Cangshu’s phone to him.

"Congratulations, Bai Cangshu. The benefits at multinational companies are usually pretty good. It’s just… rather far away, and you might even have to go abroad."

Bai Cangshu continued smiling.

"Yes, but making money means working hard. That’s only normal."

Teacher Zhang then handled the various procedures for Bai Cangshu. Under the reluctant gazes of the junior girls in the office, Bai Cangshu left.

After walking out of the teaching building, Bai Cangshu took out his phone and made a call.

"Hello, Officer Luoshui?"

"It’s like this. Since I’m nearing graduation, I recently found a job and may need to leave Binhai City. About that observation period…"

Bai Cangshu still chose to contact the more easygoing Luoshui.

On the other end of the call, Luoshui’s eyes widened in the office.

Graduation?

A job?

Such things seemed very distant from her. Although she had only graduated not long ago herself, she had never thought about working. She had merely been interested in these mysterious matters and wanted to help her family, so she agreed to learn under Song Xian.

"Master, Bai Cangshu said he found a job and is leaving Binhai…"

Luoshui’s expression was filled with confusion and incomprehension. She even suspected this might be some kind of conspiracy.

But Song Xian, who was bent over the documents concerning the eldest daughter of the March Group, was used to such things.

To many university students, Binhai was like a nest for migratory birds. When the season came, they would eventually migrate.

"Oh, then apply to the chief. If there aren’t any new suspicious points, there shouldn’t be any problem lifting his observation."

Ever since that Black Card had appeared in Haidai, along with the death of a bloodline Reincarnator, Song Xian and the authorities, as well as the other Reincarnators, had basically guessed that Chu Qi’s card had somehow made its way into Haidai through unknown means.

And had been successfully activated by some Reincarnator.

As a result, the dangerous and high-risk Reincarnators had left Binhai one after another.

Song Xian had also mostly dispelled his suspicions toward Bai Cangshu.

At this moment, all his vigilance was focused on the document in his hands.

With some people, nothing seemed wrong before you investigated them. But once you did, the findings could be chilling.

Li Qingzi, eldest daughter of the March Group, twenty-four years old. She had rarely participated in the group’s business, yet was highly valued by her family. She held 35% of the shares in the chip group, second only to Li Xianhou, the controller of the conglomerate.

This woman had always been mysterious. All that was known was that she attended university in the Free Federation. Yet in Goryeo, there were many rumors that the March Group had been involved in numerous murder cases.

However, due to the group’s influence, none of the incidents had ever been formally filed.

Song Xian also discovered that the times when this woman named Li Qingzi had become entangled in those incidents were all remarkably coincidental. At the sites of gas explosions and accidental disasters, this woman and her subordinates had always appeared nearby.

Song Xian became increasingly convinced that this woman was likely an exceptionally terrifying Reincarnator!

Seeing that her master did not object, Luoshui agreed to Bai Cangshu’s request over the phone as well, saying she would give him an answer as soon as possible after submitting the application.

At that moment, in the presidential suite of a five-star hotel, the eldest daughter of the March Group, whom Song Xian suspected, was holding a black satellite phone.

"Miss, according to the information search conducted by the March Group’s communications department, we have identified five users who meet your requirements."

"All five recently received large sums of unexplained income and have begun making regular visits to various bars and clubs."

"At the same time, all five have resigned from their original jobs."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Qingzi knew that these five had a considerable chance of being Reincarnators. Of course, there was also a very small possibility that they were gamblers.

As the world’s largest smartphone manufacturer, the March Group possessed means of gathering information beyond ordinary people’s imagination.

It might not have such capabilities in other countries, but within Goryeo, the March Group could obtain almost anything it wanted.

Li Qingzi used the March Phones nearly every Goryeo citizen carried as sources of information. Even across the entire world, almost no one possessed an advantage comparable to hers.

"Miss, should we change the itinerary?"

"Should we postpone tomorrow’s visit to Binhai University?"

The old butler, whose hair was gray but whose posture remained upright, lowered his head as he asked.

He knew very well that the young miss must have secrets. But he understood even better that in a family like this, having secrets was normal. He was not supposed to ask what he should not ask, nor see what he should not see. Knowing how to keep that boundary was the greatest wisdom of his life.

Li Qingzi stood beside the bed, looking down over Binhai. This country was simply too vast. Any random city possessed a breadth Goryeo could never imagine.

And within such a vast expanse, terrifying elites beyond the imagination of people from small countries would emerge.

The emergence of Reincarnators was nothing more than a matter of probability.

And powerful, intelligent Reincarnators were the rarest kind among them.

Like herself, and like… that Mercenary Tao!

Li Qingzi knew perfectly well that Mercenary Tao was the Reincarnator who had sabotaged her squad’s Main Mission in the Dragon Ball World and caused Demon Mountain’s death.

At the time, the other party had no real accumulation. Someone who had likely only completed one or two missions, perhaps even someone who had just become a Reincarnator, had actually activated the Special Trial of the card.

And in a world as difficult as Dragon Ball, with herself and the Flame Demon Squad as opponents, he had completed the trial.

Someone like that…

Rare? He was simply Extremely Rare!

Li Qingzi had her back to the butler, so the old butler could not see that the dignified eldest daughter of the conglomerate had curled her lips into a terrifying smile.

That smile contained extreme greed, greed for every rare and precious thing in the world.

At noon the next day, Li Qingzi finally wrapped up her inspection work for the time being. Using the excuse that she wanted to look around Binhai University, she entered the campus with Luoshui.

At the school gate, Luoshui’s eyes lit up when she spotted someone she knew.

Bai Cangshu carried a shoulder bag, his luggage so light that it did not look like he was going on a long journey at all.

"Student Bai Cangshu, are you leaving?"

"Yes. I also have to thank Officer Luo for helping me get permission so quickly."

Luoshui narrowed her eyes, then suddenly blinked. At that moment, she realized that after today, she might no longer need to be responsible for evaluating this observation target.

One’s first job in life was always unforgettable. Now that it was suddenly ending, she truly felt somewhat reluctant.

Li Qingzi stood behind Luoshui, while her entourage remained farther away.

At that moment, she narrowed her eyes and asked Luoshui in Korean.

"What is it, Miss Luoshui? Do you know this handsome young man?"

Only then did Luoshui remember that she was serving as both guide and interpreter today and could not simply chat with someone on her own.

"Sorry, Miss Li. This student Bai… you could say he’s an acquaintance. He’s leaving school to start work today. Thinking that I might not see him again in the future, I just exchanged a few words with him."

Li Qingzi’s expression froze.

Bai Cangshu paid no attention to the two of them. He waved to Luoshui, left the school gate with an easy grace, and directly took a car to the high-speed rail station.

Li Qingzi and Luoshui continued walking through Binhai University, but neither was in much of a mood to stroll around anymore.

Li Qingzi’s expression was calm as she took the initiative to end the outing.

"My apologies, Miss Luoshui. Something has suddenly come up back home, so I won’t continue the tour today. Please forgive me."

Without waiting for Luoshui’s reply, she turned and followed the butler back to the car, preparing to return home.

Frowning, she could only feel that Mercenary Tao was rather strange. He had unexpectedly escaped her once again…

Was this some kind of "Strong Luck," or…

A rare feeling of unease arose in her heart. She worried that Mercenary Tao might have seen through her identity as well.

Someone with her identity was not safe in East Xia.

"Let’s return home first."

Bai Cangshu sat on the train bound for Yunnan, confirming the itinerary with the other party through his phone.

Not without malicious amusement, he asked,

"The workplace is in Yunnan, not abroad, right? I heard Myanmar is very unsafe."

The other party quickly replied.

"Don’t worry, it’s within the country. It’s only close to the border. There are lots of fun things here. Once you arrive and start the job, I’ll welcome you properly."

Bai Cangshu put down his phone.

Scams always came with a purpose and intention. No matter how well they concealed it, they would eventually return to that purpose.

Just like these people. They had gone to great lengths to get him near the border, and their purpose was obvious.

Bai Cangshu leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes.

I know perfectly well whether you are scammers. It is just that you do not know that I am joining you precisely because I know your purpose.
