Chapter 605: The Application
Chapter 605: The Application
Standing before the former site of the Sky Skyscraper Company, Chen Chuan held an umbrella, gazing at the surging ocean waves in the distance. The remnants of the once-grand skyscraper had been cut and salvaged over the past few days.
Despite the absence of the iconic structure, the unobstructed view allowed him to see further into the horizon.
He had a lot to accomplish during his three-month vacation.
First, he needed to return to Yangzhi and meet with Instructor Wen.
The night before, he had spoken to his uncle, Yearfuli, over the phone, learning that he was still serving in the Patrol Bureau. This provided an opportunity to inquire about the specific situation.
Additionally, he had been looking into the matter of the teaching certificate over the past few days.
Generally, there were two paths to obtaining it. As a student of the Wu Yi Academy, if his performance during his student days was exceptional, he could apply internally for an assistant instructor position. With experience, he could then be promoted to an academy teacher, a process that varied depending on individual circumstances. Typically, this took between three to five years, but in some cases, it could take up to ten years.
The other option was an exceptional admission, which required the applicant to be an outstanding student. In this case, a single assessment after the application would grant them the qualification.
However, this process required a recommendation, preferably from a current teacher at the Wu Yi Academy or a commanding officer from a relevant department.
Chen Chuan could approach several familiar teachers for this, and finding a commanding officer from a related department was also straightforward. He could even approach Director Wu or Elder Mr. Cheng for this purpose. If all else failed, he could even write a recommendation for himself.
His primary goal wasn't teaching; it was to gain access to certain conveniences from the Wu Yi platform that were unavailable elsewhere. Aside from other benefits, the availability of training partners like Red Whirlwind was reason enough to obtain the certificate.
In fact, through internal information, Chen Chuan learned that many high-ranking officials in the Handling Bureau held teaching certificates from the Wu Yi Academy. These individuals would even dedicate a portion of their time each year to teaching at Wu Yi.
With the end of the semester approaching, and considering the necessary review process, Chen Chuan decided to submit his application in the next few days. If time permitted, he would expedite the process; otherwise, he would wait until his return.
Just then, a contact signal sounded from the Intercom, and An-Shield's voice promptly responded, "Signal source detected from the Dewy District's Elephant Gang, with no domain monitoring or detection equipment. Supervisor Chen, do you need it blocked?"
"No need," Chen Chuan replied, "Connect the call."
When the connection was established, a pleasant female voice greeted him, "Captain Chen, is that you? I'm Deng Xing."
"Miss Deng, what's the matter?" Chen Chuan inquired.
"Captain Chen, I apologize for bothering you," Deng Xing said, "I heard that you led the team that took down the Sky Skyscraper Company, so I contacted you today to express my gratitude."
"There's no need to thank me," Chen Chuan said, "The actions of the Sky Skyscraper Company sealed their fate."
Deng Xing's voice was filled with gratitude, "Regardless, I must thank you. These past years, I've been hiding and running, unable to go anywhere. But now, I can finally go to the places I want to visit. I feel like I can stand under the sun..."
Her voice slightly choked up, and when Chen Chuan sliced open the Sky Skyscraper with his sword, a weight lifted from her heart. Since escaping the Sky Skyscraper, she had never felt so relieved.
After a moment, she composed herself and apologized, "I'm sorry for rambling and taking up your time. I just wanted to say that I may not be of much help to you, but I do have some ability to foresee danger. Captain Chen, if you ever need me, please don't hesitate to ask."
Hearing the sincerity in her voice, Chen Chuan agreed, and as he glanced outside, the rain had stopped, and a ray of sunshine broke through the dark clouds over the ocean. "Miss Deng, live well from now on, and perhaps we'll meet again."
Turning around, he saw the armored security personnel and the convoy waiting behind him. As he approached, they opened the car door for him. Once seated, he said, "Let's go back to the Martial Stability District."
The car slowly started, eventually arriving at his residence in the area. Upon arrival, he didn't drive directly into the compound but stepped out of the vehicle. After a few words, Yu Xiao saluted him, and a staff member carried four small boxes inside.
As Chen Chuan entered, Yuan Qiuyuan, Qin Qingque, and Su Wei greeted him. They had been staying there since the Silkworm Mother's reproduction and splitting, awaiting further instructions. Seeing him return, they saluted, "Captain!"
Chen Chuan returned the salute.
Yuan Qiuyuan was curious about the staff member behind Chen Chuan and glanced at the convoy outside. "Captain, what's that?"
"The Bureau just appointed me as the Investigation Supervisor," Chen Chuan explained, "The notification should arrive soon. That's the armed convoy responsible for my safety."
Yuan Qiuyuan's eyes widened, "Captain, you got promoted again?"
Chen Chuan nodded.
"Captain, your promotions are so fast!" Yuan Qiuyuan exclaimed excitedly.
This was good news; if the captain advanced quickly, they could progress alongside him. However, he seemed to remember something else.
"Oh, Captain, will they assign us a new Execution Captain now that you've been promoted?" Yuan Qiuyuan asked.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qingque and Su Wei couldn't help but look at Chen Chuan. To be honest, they both preferred to remain under Chen Chuan's command and didn't want a random replacement.
Chen Chuan said, "If you're willing, you can follow me."
Qin Qingque replied earnestly, "I'm willing to follow the captain."
Yuan Qiuyuan spoke up, "There's no question about it. We only follow you, Captain."
Su Wei nodded in agreement. He had been recruited by Chen Chuan, so naturally, he would follow him. However, he also held great respect and admiration for Chen Chuan himself.
Chen Chuan said, "Good, then it's settled." Turning to Qin Qingque, he instructed, "Qingque, please book a private room at the Shu Tianxia Hotel. As I mentioned before, I'd like to treat all of you, and since we're all here, it's the perfect opportunity."
"Yes, Captain!" Qin Qingque responded.
Chen Chuan then addressed Yuan Qiuyuan, "Please also inform Mr. Sancheng that if he's available, I'd like him to join us for this meal."
"Will do, Captain. I'll let him know," Yuan Qiuyuan assured him.
After about half an hour, the four of them arrived at the Shu Tianxia Hotel, and Mr. Sancheng Huang also made his appearance, standing tall with a sword at his waist.
As they approached, Mr. Sancheng Huang bowed slightly, "Mr. Chen." He then greeted Yuan Qiuyuan and the others politely.
Chen Chuan acknowledged him with a response and led the group into the pre-booked private room. Once seated, he addressed Mr. Sancheng Huang, "Mr. Sancheng, I'd like to express my gratitude for your assistance earlier."
Mr. Sancheng Huang humbly replied, "Even without my help, Mr. Chen, you would have managed to handle those individuals. My actions were merely an additional flourish."
Chen Chuan continued, "Stepping forward at that critical moment was not an easy choice. I've seen Mr. Sancheng's sincerity, so I'd like to invite you to join my team. Are you willing?"
In a 6, a 9, a book, a bar, and a look, there was no mistake!
Mr. Sancheng Huang raised his head and asked, "May I?"
Chen Chuan explained, "Mr. Sancheng, there was initially an issue with your identity, but that was in the past. Now that the Skywheel Company has been eliminated, there's no problem."
Dashi had long propagated the idea that the people of the various island nations in the Far Horizon were also their citizens. However, this was merely a propaganda tactic and not the actual situation. It was simply a way to reduce governance and maintenance costs, and it was not feasible to treat them as equals.
Nevertheless, Mr. Sancheng Huang was a Third Tier Master, and if he was willing to pledge his allegiance to Dashi, they would gladly welcome him. Previously, the Skywheel Company might have had some reservations, but that was no longer an issue.
Mr. Sancheng Huang bowed slightly and said solemnly, "Thank you, Mr. Chen, for your invitation. I'm deeply grateful, and I'm willing to join!"
Chen Chuan nodded in acknowledgment. At this moment, he brought over several boxes and placed them in front of the group.
"These are your rewards for the success of this operation," he said. "In addition to a bonus, there are also some special drugs."
He handed one of the boxes to Mr. Sancheng Huang, "Mr. Sancheng, I've applied for one for you."
"Do I have one as well?" Mr. Sancheng Huang asked, surprised.
Chen Chuan smiled, "Mr. Sancheng, you have indeed earned it. It can be considered a mercenary fee, and besides, didn't you agree to join my team? It's only natural that you should have one."
Mr. Sancheng Huang fell silent for a moment, then slowly stood up. He placed his hands on his sides and bowed deeply to Chen Chuan, saying, "Thank you, Mr. Chen. I truly need this medicine, and I'm deeply grateful to accept it."
Chen Chuan nodded in approval. He appreciated Mr. Sancheng Huang's straightforwardness and his ability to set aside his pride when necessary.
He addressed Yuan Qiuyuan and the others, "I have three months of vacation, and there's something I need to take care of. You can continue your missions in the Convergence Ground until I return."
Yuan Qiuyuan was the first to respond, "Yes, Captain, we'll follow your instructions!" He added, "Captain, please come back soon. Without you here, we lack motivation." The others nodded in agreement.
Chen Chuan smiled, "Alright, let's eat first."
The meal lasted until past two in the afternoon. After parting ways with them, Chen Chuan had his private armed convoy head towards the Wingblade Nucleus Corporation.
Zhuang, the manager, had previously mentioned that Chao Ming needed to be observed for another two to three months. If his mutated tissues didn't show signs of lethargy, then everything would be fine. Now, the time had come.
Zhuang had anticipated Chen Chuan's arrival and welcomed him as soon as his convoy stopped outside the company's hall. After a warm greeting, he said, "Manager Chen, we've been taking good care of your pet. Please follow me."
Chen Chuan wasn't surprised that the manager knew about his promotion. Companies in the central city had their own information channels, especially since he was their client.
They arrived at the previous cultivation area, where Chao Ming was resting in a specially designed nest. He had grown larger since the last time, and his body radiated a vibrant life force, though he seemed to be in a deep slumber.
Manager Zhuang smiled, "Manager Chen, your pet has successfully passed the observation period. Its mutated tissues have taken initial shape. From now on, it's like a fighter who needs drug matching to grow. In a few more days, if there are no abnormalities, it can leave with you."
