First, they learned divination.
For a diviner, this was a mandatory basic skill.
Qingque looked at the eager Chu Ze:
"Have you had any experience with the art of divination?"
Chu Ze immediately nodded repeatedly:
"I'm very familiar with it!"
With that, he took out a compass:
"To find the dragon and divide the gold, look at the winding mountains. One layer of winding is one pass. If the pass has a thousand locks, there must be a king or marquis residing here..."
"You're in the wrong play!" Qingque shouted: "I asked about divination, not tomb raiding and feng shui!"
"Oh, oh..."
So Chu Ze hung up a fortune-telling banner, put on round sunglasses, and transformed into the fortune-teller Chu Banxian from the bridge:
"It's going to rain and the ground is slippery, whatever your dad's surname is, that's your surname!"
"People eat grain and sheep eat grass, your age is definitely younger than your dad's!"
Qingque slapped her forehead:
"I'm so stupid, really."
"I shouldn't have asked that question. I should have just started teaching..."
Chu Ze poked his sunglasses:
"Oh? Is the person who has come the Taiyan Division's Qingque, the half-immortal?"
"I, the blind man Chu from the bridge, will meet friends through fortune-telling. Today, let's have a match..."
"Stop being a drama queen!" Qingque snatched his sunglasses: "Hurry up and come study!"
"Alright, alright..."
...
...
The learning process was quite tedious.
Qingque was also prepared for Chu Ze to doze off and get distracted, and she planned to use the punishments Fu Xuan had used on her on Chu Ze as well.
But to her surprise, Chu Ze remained focused from beginning to end.
His learning ability was as strong as ever. In just two hours, he had learned the knowledge that was originally expected to take a whole day to teach.
Seeing Chu Ze successfully create a small divination seal with his own ability without any help, Qingque immediately exclaimed in admiration: "Six hundred and sixty-six, this person is a pro, he's not even pretending."
Chu Ze, on the other hand, flicked his hair: "Calm down, a small opening doesn't count as an opening."
"What's next? Continue learning tomorrow's knowledge?"
Qingque shook her head: "We've learned enough theoretical knowledge for today."
"Since there's still free time, I'll take you on a field mission to actually experience the business process of our Taiyan Division."
Chu Ze looked at Qingque in surprise:
"Huh, you're not leaving early to play cards, but choosing to take me to experience actual business?"
"Are you really that slacker queen Qingque? You haven't been possessed by some Suiyang, have you!"
Qingque snorted twice:
"Diligent, smart, and hardworking, that's this sparrow's true personality. Don't underestimate me in the future."
A colleague next to them couldn't take it anymore:
"It's clearly because Lady Taiyan promised you a five-day paid leave if you thoroughly teach Master Chu Ze, that's why you've become so diligent..."
"Shh, shh, don't expose me!"
Qingque quickly covered the female colleague's mouth, then turned to Chu Ze and said:
"Anyway, let's go to the field mission board, pick a suitable field mission, and actually experience it."
"...Fine, you're the boss."
...
...
The field mission board, this recorded the field missions gathered from various places.
Diviners could browse the mission summaries here and then log into the internal system to accept missions.
Going on a field mission not only had generous performance subsidies but also provided opportunities to communicate with other departments.
So, on the premise of completing the basic work, many diviners were willing to take on some field missions to earn some extra performance points.
"We're here, this is the field mission board."
"You pick a job you're interested in, and then I'll take you on a run."
Under Qingque's guidance, Chu Ze quickly found the public screen of the field mission board.
At a glance, there were many missions on it, and they were also thoughtfully divided into different levels.
Since it was his first time on a field mission, Chu Ze naturally focused on the more basic missions.
[Mission 1: The Alchemy Commission requests the assistance of a diviner to help maintain order.]
Chu Ze: "?"
Maintaining order, shouldn't they go to the Realm-Keeping Commission for that? Why did they come to the Taiyan Division?
[Mission 2: The Realm-Keeping Commission requests the assistance of a diviner to help clear out a Denizens of Abundance stronghold.]
Chu Ze: "??"
Clearing out the filth of Abundance, that should be the duty of the Cloud Knights! Go contact the new Cloud Knight Garrison Officer!
[Mission 3: The Artisanship Commission requests the assistance of a diviner to help dismantle the various parts of a new type of automaton.]
Chu Ze: "???"
Dismantling parts, isn't that the Artisanship Commission's...
Wait, this is your own damn job! Is it really appropriate to ask for help from outsiders who don't know what they're doing!
"Don't complain, you lose if you complain."
Seemingly seeing the twitching corner of Chu Ze's mouth, Qingque took the initiative to explain:
"Everyone says the Realm-Keeping Commission is a jack-of-all-trades, but in fact, our Taiyan Division's field diviners also do a bit of everything."
"Because no matter what the job is, divination is basically used, so various departments frequently issue commissions to the Taiyan Division."
Chu Ze was a little helpless:
"Alright, then I'll just pick a simple mission... hmm, I'll pick this one."
[Mission 2: The Realm-Keeping Commission requests the assistance of a diviner to help clear out a Denizens of Abundance stronghold.]
[Detailed description: By the Divine Arrow, the unending filth of Abundance has appeared again!]
[This time the target is in a certain area of the downtown district, with many civilians living nearby. Therefore, we need a skilled diviner to formulate a suitable attack route for us.]
[We cannot let a single piece of filth escape, but we also cannot accidentally injure civilians. At the same time, according to rumors, there seems to be someone in the filth's stronghold who also knows divination, so the diviner who accepts the mission had better have some skills—at least be able to win against the opponent in a magical duel.]
[The Hunt is watching this battle! For the Divine Arrow, for the Holy Terra (crossed out) for the Luofu Xianzhou!]
Alright, alright, Holy Terra, right.
The person who wrote this mission brief seems to be a gaming enthusiast as well.
Qingque, on the other hand, said with some surprise: "A combat-type mission right off the bat? I thought you would choose something simpler, like the mission to stand guard at the Alchemy Commission."
"Pfft, what's the point of standing guard."
A fighting spirit ignited in Chu Ze's eyes: "Compared to standing there like a fool, I prefer to hunt everywhere, especially hunting the filth of Abundance."
Although he had officially stepped down from his position as a Cloud Knight Garrison Officer, his desire for battle had not diminished in the slightest.
Now that there was a chance to fight to his heart's content, he of course had to seize it.
"Alright, I'll have your back anyway."
Qingque didn't stop him. After all, her abilities were very outstanding, and she had gone on many more difficult field missions.
So she guided Chu Ze step by step, telling him how to accept the order and how to connect with the action team.
Soon, they contacted the person in charge of the operation and successfully met at a certain place in the Central Starskiff Haven.
"This must be Miss Qingque from the Taiyan Division."
As soon as the two sides met, the female leader of the Realm-Keeping Commission's action team immediately stepped forward and shook Chu Ze's hand:
"It's a pleasure to finally meet you. You're truly strong and powerful, tall and imposing, even stronger than a man."
Qingque behind him was covered in black lines:
"Hey, how can you mistake me for him? It's one thing to not remember faces, but you can't even tell the gender, can you!"
"Ah, this..."
The female leader then realized that there was actually a person standing behind Chu Ze.
But because Chu Ze's figure was too eye-catching, and Qingque's figure was very petite, the female leader subconsciously ignored her.
So she quickly extended her hand again:
"I'm sorry, I mistook you for someone else just now."
"I've long heard that Miss Qingque is humble and low-key, and never looks down on people. Seeing you today, it's truly so."
Qingque: "..."
What does not looking down on people mean! Are you really complimenting me?
Fortunately, a subordinate behind her stepped forward to smooth things over:
"The captain has been working overtime for ten consecutive days, her thinking is a bit confused. Please forgive her for any inappropriate words."
The action leader nodded repeatedly:
"Yes, yes, after this mission is completed, I can finally take a long-awaited vacation..."
Chu Ze & Qingque: "?"
Don't just start raising flags out of nowhere!
The leader continued to look with longing:
"Ah, after the vacation, I can go back to my hometown to get married... I have no more regrets..."
Hey! How did it develop into a death flag!
Please shut up, if this continues, we'll be in danger!
