Chapter 1096
"Because he has a family, and he wants to maintain a high standard of living for them, he has to constantly complete tasks to earn points."
When it comes to points, Baili Changqing explains it to Zhang Yi.
"Here, money is useless. Even jewelry and gold and silver are just scrap metal. Points are the only universal currency."
Zhang Yi took a sip of hot water, looked at Baili Changqing and asked leisurely, "So, in other words, the Jiangnan Region's recruitment drive this time will likely select some members to join the headquarters' investigation team. Right?"
"That's hard to say!"
Baili Changqing said with a smile.
"At least for an outstanding alien like you, I'm afraid the higher-ups will do everything they can to keep you here."
Zhang Yi responded to Baili Changqing's teasing with a smile, "But if I come, it will be hard to explain your incident."
In the mission report on killing Yuan Kongye, Zhang Yi was marginalized.
But Zhang Yi showed his strength, and Baili Changqing found it difficult to explain to Zhu Zheng.
Sure enough, Baili Changqing looked a little uncomfortable.
"Don't worry, I've told the commander about your problem. Although your strength is quite good, your loyalty is not high enough. Joining the region may become an unstable factor."
"This is what the commander fears the most. As long as you don't perform too well, he won't force you to stay."
Zhang Yi felt a little relieved. "That would be best."
While the two were talking, the waitress rang the doorbell.
"Mr. Baili, someone is looking for you! It's Mr. Wu Di from the Black Robe Squad."
When Zhang Yi heard the name, his brows furrowed slightly.
Wu Di's attitude towards him has always been unkind, with an inexplicable hostility towards him.
So Zhang Yi didn't like that person very much either.
"Why is he here?"
Baili Changqing explained, "Members of our team often come here to drink. After all, as you know, members of the investigation team like us who fight on the front lines are always walking on the edge of life and death. So when we have free time, we tend to indulge in pleasure."
"But I don't want to see him."
Zhang Yi said lightly.
Baili Changqing suddenly realized something and slapped his forehead: "That's right, he was targeting you all the time back then!"
"However, I am now the captain of the Black Robe Squad. In order to prevent any rift between you and my team members, there is something I must explain to you."
"It's about Wu Di."
Zhang Yi leaned on the sofa, tilted his head and looked at him, waiting for his explanation.
Baili Changqing's eyes were filled with reminiscence as he told the story.
It turns out that Wu Di was not a member of Blizzard City before.
He was picked up by Bian Junwu during a mission.
At that time, Wu Di was just a small clerk in a company, unknown to the public, struggling to survive in the apocalypse.
When he was on the verge of death, it was Bian Junwu who saved him, and it was also during that accident that he awakened his special abilities.
Since then, Wu Di has been following Bian Junwu.
In Wu Di's eyes, Bian Junwu is his savior and also his mentor on the road to developing supernatural powers.
He's like a father figure.
"Wu Di's hostility towards you is not directed at you personally. It's directed at anyone who might replace the captain."
"Because of Captain Bian's hidden injury, he could be killed at any time. And the new team members join only after the old ones withdraw."
"So, when Captain Bian expressed his admiration for you, it also meant that he realized he didn't have long to live."
"Wu Di couldn't accept this. It was a kind of paranoia in his heart. Perhaps he felt that Captain Bian would not die until a new team member was found."
