Chapter 142.
[Ding dong~Welcome tasker Tangli to return to the Space-Time Management Bureau, please use system number 001 for identity information scan. ]
A silver halo disappeared, and a woman with long hair and a black uniform appeared on the spot. She was crossing her arms on her chest, her expression was indifferent and scornful. When she heard the system tone of the Space-Time Management Bureau, the woman's delicate eyebrows raised slightly, wantonly. Turning around, she whispered, "001, connect to the host system."
[Okay! ]
Next to Tangli, System 001 floated. After it sent out radio waves, it was connected to the host system. Soon Tangli's identity information was verified, and she now had the authority to enter the Space-Time Management Bureau.
[Congratulations to you, the tasker, for passing the verification~ It has been confirmed that the tasker is Tangli. ]
Tangli responded lazily and stepped out of the space teleporter. As soon as she turned around, the space teleporter that belonged to her was taken back by the host system and no one else had the right to use it. This was her status symbol and only the top taskers on the ranking list can exchange for the expensive space teleporter. Other taskers will have multiple people using one teleporter. Each time after the space transferred, it takes time to buffer. Only after the buffering is completed can the next tasker be transferred, which will bring great losses to the tasker.
Maybe while you are waiting for the time buffer, other task takers may have completed the task. So when Tang Li redeemed the space teleporter, she didn't even hesitate or blinked and bought it generously.
The identity verification of the host system just now was also to ensure the safety of the taskers. A few years ago, a tasker tampered with the information, causing data confusion on the host of the Space-Time Administration, and almost led to the theft of all the taskers' information. After catching the erring tasker, the host strengthened the identity recognition. If there is an error in the verification, he will be arrested on the spot.
As soon as Tang Li's figure appeared, everyone gathered around to watch.
Everyone is wearing the same black uniform, but the golden badge on Tangli's chest is the best proof of her strength. Besides, Tangli's face is not unfamiliar to others.
She has been at the top of the list of the female supporting department for many years in a row. The employees in the same department are almost tired of looking at this face. It doesn't matter if you say she is beautiful, but she is also awesome. She has earned so many points, far more than the second place one. For a long time, some people were curious about Tangli's mission success rate. When they clicked on her profile, they suddenly understood why she was able to occupy the top spot and never moved her position. It turned out that her mission success rate was almost 100.
Almost 100%, but unfortunately she failed to get a high score in a certain task, resulting in her success rate not reaching 100%.
"Hey, long time no see."
Tangli was tapped on the shoulder. She smiled and said, "Fortunately, I heard your footsteps. If it were anyone else, you would have been knocked down by me."
The man came in front of Tang Li. The short-haired woman was straightforward and valiant. When she smiled, her fangs were exposed. Her cold temperament suddenly became sweet. She saluted Tang Li. This was her military habit. She was a soldier. After her sacrifice, her soul entered the Space-Time Administration and became one of its taskers.
Tang Li raised her chin and said, "I'm afraid you won't be able to change this habit in your lifetime."
Her name is Qin Ruochun, and she joined the Space-Time Management Bureau in the same year as Tang Li. One went to the villain department, and the other came to the supporting female department.
In response to Tangli's teasing, Qin Ruochun shrugged her shoulders and asked, "Where have you been during this time? I went to look for you several times, but no one at home made me feel empty. You usually don't have to waste time doing tasks. It's been such a long time."
Tangli walked forward. Qin Ruochun saw this and followed her. Tangli explained casually, "I went to deal with a very important matter."
"So you are successful now?"
Tangli nodded and smiled, "Of course."
Qin Ruochun saw the smile on her face and suddenly felt that he had asked a stupid question. When had she failed?
She chose to be friends with Tangli because Mu Qiang felt that she was not weak either, so Qin Ruochun's friends were the same type of people as her, and she would look down on those who were too weak. Speaking of being friends with Tangli, she was the one who took the initiative to approach Tangli, hoping to get more useful information from Tangli. For a long time, Tangli, who had been related to interests, was gradually made a true friend by Qin Ruochun.
Qin Ruochun teased her as usual, jokingly, "You are a god of nature who has no love in your heart and draws your sword. What task can be difficult for you?"
But Tang Li made a rebuttal this time. She looked sideways at Qin Ruochun and said, "That's wrong. I am not a loner now. I have the bonus of the emotional buff. I handled that task very successfully and perfectly."
Qin Ruochun was stunned. She was shocked by Tang Li's words. Qin Ruochun quickly adjusted her shocked mood and asked hurriedly, "Don't tell me that you fell in love with someone during the mission! When did you learn to make such stupid mistake? Already? You are going to die."
Although there is no strict requirement for tasker of the Space-Time Administration to seal their hearts with cement, there is an unwritten rule that everyone knows, which is to try to avoid falling in love with anyone in the world during the mission, because some people can't do it. To completely give up this love, she would need to cancel the contract with the Space-Time Administration. By then, she would have love, but lose her identity as a tasker, and she would stay in that world forever.
But he lost his identity as a tasker and will remain in that world forever.
Some people focus on true love, some choose to love no one, and some prefer not to touch even a leaf among thousands of flowers, but Qin Ruochun believes that smart people like them keep their minds clear and rational is the most correct approach, and love will only become their huge obstacles on the road to success.
Qin Ruochun couldn't believe that Tang Li would do such a thing. She looked at Tang Li with disappointment.
Tang Li was a little puzzled by her reaction, "Can errors be divided into low-level and high-level? The task I took over this time is not simple. I can't explain it to you in detail. It has nothing to do with death."
Qin Ruochun couldn't help but asked, "No matter whether the task is complicated or simple, you just fell in love with the person during the task. You are so stupid. It is unnecessary for you to fall in love with that kind of person. You can't see him. When are you going to cleanse away your emotions?"
In Qin Ruochun's view, Tangli did not stay in the world because of love, which meant that she was ready to cleanse her emotions.
Tang Li explained with a smile, "No, no, no, she and I can meet each other, so I said that the busy tasks during this period are of a special nature."
Her explanation was even more incredible than the love bomb she dropped before. Qin Ruochun questioned, "This is impossible!"
Tangli was not in a hurry to object. She always didn't like to tell others too much about her personal affairs. In Tangli's opinion, her relationship with Qin Ruochun had not reached the level of sharing private matters.
Her character is very independent. A very appropriate way to describe her is that while other taskers are busy developing social relationships, she has begun to take 001 on her own mission.
Tangli prefers to place her hopes on herself, so in some ways, she is a loner with a rich spiritual world.
She smiled and waved her hand and said, "I'll explain it to you another day. I'm busy with urgent matters." She and Qin Ruochun had different ideas, so Tangli made an excuse.
Tang Li glanced at the space teleporter not far away, and then said, "You are here to do a mission, right? I won't hold you back, let's talk next time."
Qin Ruochun was indeed going to do the task, but what she was most curious about now was what Tang Li said. She frowned. Under the reminder of the binding system, Qin Ruochun had no other choice but to follow Tang Li's words. "I have a mission, so I can't talk to you for a few more words, so I'll see you next time."
"Bon voyage." Tangli smiled calmly, her eyes were curved, revealing a bit of her soft color. Tangli, who was wearing a black uniform, had the ability to attract people's attention. The golden badge was her status. It is also one of her charms. When a woman has a beautiful face and outstanding abilities, it will be difficult for her to become a small piece of dust. She will become an unparalleled existence.
Qin Ruochun turned around and left without hesitation. After taking a few steps, she couldn't help but look back at Tangli, but all Tangli left her was her back.
Her back was tall and slender, which always gave people a strong sense of alienation. She deliberately kept a calm distance from others. Qin Ruochun once again began to doubt, could a woman like Tangli really fall in love with someone? To put it simply, Qin Ruochun was very interested in her. She really couldn't imagine what it would be like for Tangli to bend for love.
[Tangtang, she is staring at you. ]
"Who?"
[Qin Ruochun. ]
As soon as Tangli saw her, she eliminated Qin Ruochun's name from her mind.
Tangli smiled and said, "Just watch, we're just friends."
Could she not know Qin Ruochun's intention in approaching her in the first place? Tangli knew about it, but she turned a blind eye because she was not malicious. Later, they became friends because of Qin Ruochun's cheerful personality, so Tangli accepted her appearance.
In fact, Tangli didn't care that much about Qin Ruochun. If she had time to make friends, she might as well do tasks to earn points.
She has no shortage of friends. Having 001 as her partner is enough. Tang Li knows very well that 001 will never betray her, but Tang Li cannot guarantee the others.
[Tangtang, you are going to find the minister now~]
"Yes, my current authority does not allow me to directly see World Tree. I have to find an intermediary to be the key to the door."
Tangli quickly arrived at the floor of the minister's office. She had not been seen here for a long time. When the minister's secretary saw Tangli, he said in surprise, "Tangli, it feels like I haven't seen you for a long time!"
She nodded and smiled, "Is the minister here?"
"Yes, yes, it's strange to say that the minister specifically told me to postpone other meetings today, as if she was waiting for someone."
Tang Li glanced at the office door thoughtfully and said lazily, "I understand."
There is no need to guess who she is waiting for.
Tangli knocked on the door and then pushed it open, looking polite and courteous.
The corners of the minister's lips raised while standing at the window looking at the scenery, "Tangli, long time no see."
Tangli sat casually on the office chair, crossed her legs and looked up at the minister with an elegant manner, "Everyone who saw me today would say "Long time no see" to me. It seems that I have really disappeared for a long time."
The minister laughed out loud and asked, "What would you like to drink?"
"I won't drink anymore. Please ask the minister to accompany me to the World Tree."
The minister looked calm, but she also had a gossipy mind, "Are you so anxious? You want to see her as soon as you come back? No wonder you successfully solved the impossible task."
In fact, in this matter, the minister is in a dilemma. One is her right-hand man, and the other is her immediate boss. It is a bit unjustifiable not to help her boss. If she helps her, she has to hide it from Tang Li, but the arrow is on the string and has to be fired. Since Tang Li have been pulled into a different world, the minister had to bite the bullet and follow the plan no matter what.
The minister originally thought that the two of them would end in tragedy and Tangli would be left to suffer alone. Little did she know that she had underestimated the two of them.
Tang Li said gently, "Yes, after all, we have agreed to meet as soon as we come back."
The minister watched helplessly as Tangli became as tender as water, losing her cold and repulsive look, and couldn't help but be filled with emotion.
At this moment, the minister suddenly realized another major problem.
She suddenly lost her careless look and asked with a solemn expression, "Tangli, what are you two planning to do in the future?"
Tang Li said calmly, "I work in the female supporting department. I have worked hard for so many years without any credit, so..."
The minister's breathing became lighter with Tang Li's words. Tang Li said, "So I should transfer departments."
The minister was so heartbroken that she gave a money tree to others with her own hands!?
She coughed a few times, carefully weighed her tone, and said, "Then which department do you want to go to?"
Tang Li didn't lie to her, "I haven't thought about it yet. Let's look at her. There are not many departments that can do double tasks. We will choose carefully when the time comes."
The minister was extremely heartbroken. If Tangli was alone, she would be able to persuade her.
But now that she has an immediate boss, how can the minister dare to persuade her? She has no other idea but to smile and survive.
"Okay... okay!"
Tangli was amused by the minister's expression. She decided not to stab the minister in the heart, so she covered her lips with her hand to block the raised corners of her lips.
"Let's go, I'll take you to meet her."
The minister was exhausted and walked forward feebly. Tangli followed her, and the two took the elevator to a place where Tangli had never been.
[Wow~Wow! ]
[Tangtang, this place is so beautiful and dreamy! ]
Starlight can be seen everywhere, and butterflies and birds can be seen one after another. A stream flows in the distance, and a few deer stop here to drink water. They are all common animals, and the World Tree stands in the distance. But it is beyond the beauty of ordinary trees.
The six World Trees are closely linked to each other, as if they are holding up the sky. They are noble and reliable.
But Tangli noticed one of the World Trees, because it was in the center and was not tall. It could be said to be slender. Compared with other World Trees, it looked like a young plant that had just sprouted and grown seedling, maybe in the future, it will grow into a world tree that is unique in its own right.
"This is..." Tangli murmured.
"This is because I left, so a new World Tree appeared."
A woman in a white dress walked out from behind the huge World Tree. She smiled shyly, with her hands behind her back, and her long black hair with bright garlands, pure and sacred.
In the long years, she was not the first soul to be born. Before her, there was also a world tree that wanted to shape a soul and break away from the current body, but in the end she failed, and her consciousness slept here forever, unable to wake up.
Her demise brought about a new World Tree, which still grew in its original location, but it was no longer that World Tree.
Only the alternation of death and rebirth can keep the World Tree here forever.
When Tangli saw her, she could finally put her heart back in her stomach and breathe a sigh of relief.
Tangli walked towards her, walking at first, then slowly couldn't help but start running, her long hair flying, her joy clearly visible from her eyes and face.
She ran and finally hugged the person hard.
"Xiao Li."
Tangli smiled and said, "Baby."
Lin Chu glared at her and said coquettishly, "Why do you call me that?"
Tang Li explained calmly, "Then shall I call you wife?"
Lin Chu reluctantly took off her garland and put it on her hair, and said seriously, "My name is Lin Chu, the new Lin Chu, the Lin Chu who is with you."
"It doesn't sound as good as baby."
Lin Chu stroked her hair at the temples, smiled sweetly, and said softly, "Then call me baby." After all, her white earlobes turned red uncontrollably.
It's really strange that I always blush with Xiaoli's love words. Ah, I'm so worthless!
Tangli rubbed her cheek and held it with both hands, "Let me touch it and see if it's hot."
Lin Chu pushed her away in embarrassment, walked around Tangli, and said disgustedly, "You are very annoying!"
How can anyone expose her like this, you bastard.
Tangli looked at Lin Chu's delicate face with fascination, and couldn't help blurting out, "You are so beautiful."
Lin Chu pursed her lips, trying to pretend not to hear, but how could she ignore Tangli's compliment.
Lin Chu asked nervously, "Didn't you tell lies?"
Tangli put her arm around her shoulders, leaned over and kissed her cheek, "I have never lied to you before. You are very beautiful."
Lin Chu had seen Tang Li's appearance before. After all, he was silently paying attention to Tang Li. So after Lin Chu discovered Tang Li and the minister's movements, she shyly hid behind the tree. Although they had done everything and the two of them had a great relationship, Lin Chu still inevitably felt uneasy.
Her lips were occupied by Tang Li, and she heard Tang Li say, "Be good, you are who you are, it doesn't matter what you look like."
Lin Chu blinked her eyes and looked at Tangli. The negative emotions hidden deep in her heart disappeared. She cared too much about Tangli. Even the smallest details would be magnified by her unconsciously, causing her to think wildly. This was her character causing trouble.
Tangli, who has been with her for a long time, knows best what she should do.
The kiss and words just now were the best surprise gift Tangli could give to comfort Lin Chu.
Lin Chu smiled slightly and kissed Tangli softly.
The two looked at each other, this was the most real version of them.
"Let's go." Tangli held Lin Chu's hand tightly. She shook her arm towards the World Tree behind her and said goodbye.
From now on, she will no longer be the World Tree.
She is just Lin Chu.
The minister who was squatting there petting the cat saw the figure appearing in front of her, and she teased, "Are you done making out?"
Lin Chu smacked her lips. The minister did not dare to joke anymore. She stood up with a serious face and said sincerely, "Welcome to join the Space-Time Management Bureau. Thank you for becoming a tasker."
"I have broken away from the identity of World Tree, and my management authority is not much higher than yours. You don't need to address me with respect."
At this moment, Lin Chu became calm and cold, no longer the same as before Tang Li.
She, in a white dress, and Tangli, who was wearing a black uniform next to her, were two extreme colors, but they lived together harmoniously and no one could destroy them.
The minister picked up the orange cat and said with a smile, "Then I'd rather obey than be respectful."
Even though she answered like this, the minister was still aware of Lin Chu's superior aura, which made the minister not dare to continue teasing Tang Li just now.
Tang Li asked at this time, "Then can we leave now?"
Lin Chu shook her head, "I need to bind the system first before my soul can leave smoothly. Binding the system means that I have joined the Space-Time Management Bureau and am no longer under the jurisdiction of World Tree."
After all, the minister's position is a core position, so she naturally knows some rules better than Tangli.
She was holding the orange cat with one hand, and two spots of light appeared on the other palm, one white and one green. This was the system prepared by the minister for her.
The minister said, "Thanks to your help, I was able to fix a difficult bug. This is No. 026, and this is No. 045. They are both powerful auxiliary systems for you to choose from."
Lin Chu smiled and rejected her kindness, "I want to share the same system with Xiaoli."
The minister was surprised, but then she thought that the tasks they would take on in the future would require two people to work together, which was also in line with common sense.
She took back the system and said no more words.
[Wow wow wow! Can I really bind you? ]
After hearing Lin Chu's words, 001, which was floating quietly in the air, flew up to Lin Chu. The silver-white light was extremely dazzling, and it looked very excited.
001 has a very sharp eye, so it would not foolishly follow Tang Li to see Lin Chu. It is a system, not a light bulb, so it floats in the air for its own entertainment, flying up and landing. Very cute.
Tangli flicked 001, which was about to touch Lin Chu's cheek. She became jealous and said, "You are too bright, stay away."
[Humph! You're jealous of the attention I get from your wife! ]
The minister glanced over, "Yo yo yo, did you call your wife?" This must be Tangli's tacit approval.
Tangli wrapped her hands around 001, smiled and scolded, "Hurry up and get down to business!"
[OK! ]
The wind suddenly hit, blowing Lin Chu's hair and her white skirt fluttering. She felt the binding power transmitted by 001 and slowly closed her eyes.
At the same time, the totem of the World Tree appeared at Lin Chu's feet. The light suddenly appeared for a moment, but soon the light gradually dissipated.
The binding is successful.
001 landed on Lin Chu's head with a bang, showing its intimacy with Lin Chu.
Tangli took Lin Chu's hand, held it firmly and led her out of the door.
The minister bent down and put the cat down, and hurriedly chased after them and asked, "I am also the one who has witnessed your love. Can you tell me which department you two plan to go to?"
So that I can give up my hope as soon as possible!
Lin Chu smiled and said, "Guess."
She had already decided where to go. This time it was a double mission for her and Tang Li.
It must be interesting.
I'm so looking forward to it.
