During the auction, Mu Rufeng found himself bored and remembered the train conductor's matter, so he called again.
But still, no one answered. Mu Rufeng even used his privileges to ensure the call connected, yet there was still no response from the other side.
"Forget it, I'll wait until I get to Gluttonous Cruise and find an opportunity to summon the Bloody Train. No, I still need to make contact with the train conductor first," Mu Rufeng thought to himself.
"I'm also good to go, I can start working tonight," Qu Lianhong said with a smile.
"Alright, then I'll start assigning tasks," Tianbu nodded.
Hunan Province has a total of thirteen cities, plus one autonomous state.
Each city has a branch office, meaning there are a total of fourteen city-level branches.
Of course, some cities are so large that one department can't manage them all, so there might be more than one branch in a single city.
All in all, the entire Hunan Province, including the three in Changsha, adds up to twenty-one offices.
Among them, there are thirty Level 3 Contractors, and a small portion of Level 2 Contractors have become department heads.
This is mainly due to the lack of people; most of the former department heads died inside the instances, and the roles were taken over by Level 2 Contractors within the department.
Such Level 2 Contractors, being department heads of the city branches, would also be given a Login Bracelet.
A rough estimate would put the number of Login Bracelets to be distributed at around thirty-six.
Out of twenty-one branches, Cheng Youlin and others are in charge of distributing to some nearby branches.
Mu Rufeng and Qu Lianhong would each need to visit at least three city branches.
"In that case, I'll take care of the branches around Yong City," said Mu Rufeng.
"Let me see. Then you'll deliver to Yong City, Shaosh City, and Huai City. There are five branches in these places."
"Here are eight Login Bracelets." Tianbu picked up a briefcase from the table next to him and handed it to Mu Rufeng.
"Your Item Slot is sealed. Don't let it out of your sight; this bracelet can be considered a strategic resource," Tianbu cautioned carefully.
"Don't worry, Tianbu. I may not boast about my strength, but I'm certainly capable of defending myself," Mu Rufeng said.
Truth be told, Mu Rufeng wasn't really worried about his own safety.
Because his life was linked to the Fallen Angel, as long as Mu Rufeng didn't die instantly, the same would happen to the Fallen Angel.
And the Fallen Angel was a Level 9 Ghost Emperor; its recovery power went without saying. Injuries that would be fatal for Mu Rufeng could be easily healed.
Therefore, as long as it wasn't instantaneous, Mu Rufeng couldn't be killed.
In the real world, it would be quite difficult to kill Mu Rufeng instantly.
You'd need a barrage of artillery fire at best.
"By the way, Yong City is going to open a new branch in Dao County. I've already approved Zhou Liulong's application, and I estimate it's already been set up by now. You'll have to make a trip there later," Tianbu spoke.
Yong City was simply too big, even larger than Changsha, Zhu Town, and Tan State combined, and there were many mountain roads. Although there were helicopters, it was really inconvenient.
Additionally, Zhou Liulong's decision to start a branch was prompted by his grandmother's death at the hands of a rogue Contractor, and Mei Xizi being a Level 3 Contractor.
Immediately, Mu Rufeng picked up the briefcase and left the office.
Since there were a number of cities to visit and they were quite far, Mu Rufeng decided not to go alone.
According to Tianbu, it was possible to have a team of three people go together.
Mu Rufeng promptly took Zhou Wen with him towards the Wan City Branch.
As for Qu Lianhong, he had to stop by his home, so he drove off alone.
By the time Mu Rufeng returned to the Wan City Branch, it was already nine o'clock.
The lights were still on. Although some people had left work, there were still staff on duty.
After Captain Zhou got out of the car, he went straight to the office; he still had many matters to attend to.
Mu Rufeng took a sip of water, just about to drive away, when he saw Zhao Dayong coming out of the building.
"Brother Mu, you're back? Did you just return with Captain Zhou?"
"Yeah, Dayong, haven't you left work yet? It's already nine," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.
"I had a lot to take care of, just finished," Zhao Dayong replied.
"Great, while you're here, come on a business trip with me. Oh, and call two more people to join us," Mu Rufeng said to Zhao Dayong.
"A business trip? Okay!" Zhao Dayong didn't say much else, just nodded and agreed.
"Also, Dayong, bring guns, and get one for me too, with plenty of bullets," Mu Rufeng said.
"Bring guns? Okay." Zhao Dayong was taken aback, then his eyes hardened.
In just five or six minutes, Zhao Dayong came out with another man and a woman.
These two were Reserve Players; the man was named Su Xin, and the woman was Lan Hui.
"Brother Mu!" The two approached the van and greeted Mu Rufeng immediately.
The pair were relatively young, about the same age as Mu Rufeng.
Mu Rufeng had seen them a few times before; they were both skilled players called up from the armed police force.
Given games and experiences like the Mysterious World, young people were more receptive, so it was evident that the related departments had made a deliberate choice.
The majority of the staff working there were also young people. Even the heads of departments were not very old.
"Get in," Mu Rufeng called to them from the back seat.
