Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 217 Traces
At eight o'clock the next morning, Chen Chuan changed into a formal suit and went to the administrative office building with his instructor Cheng Zitong.

Similar to the time when they obtained the weapons permit, there were a total of seven reviewers present, sitting behind a long table.

After verifying his identity and filling out the forms, one of the examiners, an elegant lady in her thirties with light makeup, looked at him for a while and said in a very friendly tone:
"Student Chen, we have checked your information. You have completed more than one mission in the national conscription, and each evaluation was excellent. You are a very good and outstanding student. Now you are a second-year student of Wuyi. I wonder if you have considered the issue of internship?"

Chen Chuan replied: "Of course I have considered it."

The reviewer smiled and asked, "Oh? Can I ask Student Chen what you think?" While she was speaking, the other people also began to pay attention.

Chen Chuanxin said, "Of course I want to go to the central city. It has nothing to do with you guys. But it doesn't seem right to say it so bluntly." So he said modestly, "Maybe I can go to some commissioned companies for a transition, or I can go to a government agency to learn from my predecessors for a while."

The auditor's eyes lit up, and he said in a more enthusiastic tone: "Then, Student Chen, I wonder what you think of our Finance Bureau? We have very generous treatment, and we really need outstanding talents like Student Chen to contribute to our security."

Another member of the review team spoke up at this time: "Our Communications Bureau also has high hopes for Student Chen. I wonder if Student Chen is interested in coming here? After all, we have always been lacking in security and are in urgent need of strong reinforcements. As long as Student Chen is willing to come, we can give you the best treatment."

He glanced at the lady again and coughed, "Although it's not as good as the Finance Bureau, it can provide more benefits and conveniences in other places."

As soon as he said this, other members of the review committee also spoke up, and their words all expressed their desire to invite Chen Chuan to intern in their departments.

Cheng Zitong, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on. These people or the institutions behind them were optimistic about Chen Chuan, so they wanted to bring Chen Chuan into their department.

Anyone can see that a student like Chen Chuan, who has an unlimited defense certificate and has participated in national conscription, has unlimited potential. No matter which department he enters in the future, he will achieve great things and may even be able to reach a high position.

If such talents can be brought into this department, even without talking about the actual benefits they bring, they will greatly add luster to the department.

Even if Chen Chuan leaves his department in the future, with this friendship, the two sides can still talk to each other in the future.

Cheng Zitong took the initiative to step forward and spoke for Chen Chuan: "Examiners, I have already made arrangements for the students. If you have any questions, you can come to me."

The auditors all looked at Cheng Zitong with some dissatisfaction, and Cheng Zitong also looked back. He was not from the same department, and his rank was not lower than those present, so he was not afraid at all. Besides, as a student he was going to the central city next, there was no need to get involved in other things, which would be a waste of his time and energy.

The members of the review department were also helpless. After all, this person was Chen Chuan's instructor, and he had told the students about the arrangements before graduation, and they really couldn't get around it.

After the questioning was hastily concluded, the review committee issued the armor certificate.

This thing also looks like a piece of jade, but it is mostly black. Although it is a thin piece, it feels very thick. There are also strands of white cloud-like patterns on the surface, vaguely forming the shape of a large shield. On it is also Chen Chuan's name and card number engraved in ancient seal script.

After getting the armor certificate, the matter was considered over. Cheng Zitong did not bother to exchange pleasantries with the committee members and walked out directly with Chen Chuan. When they got outside, he said, "Xiao Chuan, it seems that they are all very optimistic about you."

Chen Chuan said: "They will only look favorably upon students if they are strong enough, but students themselves feel that they are not strong enough yet."

Cheng Zitong said, "Yes, it's good that you can see this clearly, Xiaochuan. With strength and status, you don't have to look for others, they will take the initiative to make friends with you. Just be firm in your goal and move forward courageously."

Chen Chuan nodded.

"Well, now you have both the weapons and armor certificates. You already have a halberd. Do you need the teacher to make you another protective suit?"

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Thank you, teacher. The action team gave me one when I was called up for national service. I can still use it now."

Although the armor-carrying certificate is theoretically more difficult to obtain than the weapon-carrying certificate, there is no threshold for anyone to use it, because no one knows who is wearing it, and the key is to obtain the source of the protective clothing. Only by obtaining the certificate can you use it openly without worrying about being traced.

Cheng Zitong said, "That's good." After a pause, he continued, "When it comes to internships, it's up to you whether to go or not. You don't need this little experience, but I want to remind you that you have to find a way to make more money next time.

There are too many places to spend money in the central city, so you should try to save as much as possible before you go there, otherwise you will probably spend a lot of time trying to make money, leaving you with very little time to train."

Chen Chuan nodded. He also knew that in the central city, no matter how much money he had, it would not be enough to spend, so he tried to save as much as he could.

It seems that I still have to do the commissions. No matter it is from the Secret Cult Inspection Bureau, the Police Bureau, or the ghost story type, I can do whatever I can. While accumulating money, I can also accumulate overlapping time, so as to make more preliminary preparations for going to the central city.

After parting with Cheng Zitong in front of the administrative building, he returned to the dormitory. Before he reached the corridor, he heard the voices of Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan coming from afar.

“I heard that the north is preparing to build a railway recently to connect Hangu City in the north with our Yangzhi City by land. However, the area in the north, where the Molan Company was annihilated, has turned red.

It is said that the thing was originally used for health and beauty, and is the core drug of Molan Company. It is effective after re-refining, so many people have bought it recently. It is said that 100 kilograms can be sold for one yuan, and 100 kilograms of soil can be sold for one yuan. That is a very profitable business! I want to go." Luo Kaiyuan said: "I don't believe it. If there is such a good thing, why didn't the government people shovel away the land before and leave it to people? Even if it is really a medicine, it is useless after the fire."

Feng Xiaoqi said, "Since it's a rumor, there must be some truth to it. What if it's useful? Besides, that's the place where the Molan Company was destroyed. Isn't it worth going and taking a look?"

After hearing this, Luo Kaiyuan was somewhat interested. At this time, the two of them saw Chen Chuan coming over and greeted him.

Feng Xiaoqi said to Chen Chuanshuo: "Student Chen, we were just talking about going to the place where Molan was annihilated. What about you? Are you interested in going there with us?"

Chen Chuan smiled and said, "If you have time, go and see it. It will be a souvenir."

Of course he had to go and "pay his respects" to the place where Molan Company was finally destroyed. He had not gone to Zhangshan before because it was in the direction of the old house and he was afraid of encountering any danger. Now that he had been there, of course he had nothing to worry about.

Feng Xiaoqi said happily: "Then let's go together on our day off. Maybe we can shovel two pounds of soil and sell it for some money."

After the three of them had a few words and agreed, they went to train separately.

A few days passed in a blink of an eye, and it was a holiday in the middle of the month. Chen Chuan and the other two rode their bicycles to Zhangshan. They had originally planned to call Weidong and Wu Han to come along, but Weidong had gone with Wu Han to do a commissioned mission, and they didn't know how long it would take for him to return, so they gave up.

However, they found that the closer they got to Zhangshan, the more people there were on the road. It seemed that there were many people who had the same idea as them, and of course it was more likely that they were going there for the red soil.

When they got to the foot of the mountain, they found a parking space. After asking, they found out that it was set up by the Iron Chain Gang. The three of them felt relieved to park their bikes there. The Chain Gang was so big that they would not cheat them of a few bicycles, and thieves would not dare to steal from the Iron Chain Gang.

The three of them easily climbed up the slope along the mountain path, passed through the flat corridor full of fortifications, and came to the back. Here the mountain gradually receded, and the view was very wide. Feng Xiaoqi pointed down and said excitedly: "Look, that's it."

Chen Chuan and Luo Kaiyuan looked down together, and what they saw was a bright blood red color, as if a large area of ​​land had been stained with blood. Many people were shoveling soil with their heads down, and after filling a bag, they happily went to the scale on the side to exchange it for money. It seemed that there were people specifically collecting the money.

But no matter how they shoveled, there was still red underneath.

"I think this thing can be sold for money, right? Look, so many people are shoveling the dirt." Feng Xiaoqi was very excited. He picked up the camera hanging around his neck and said, "I have to take a few pictures."

While he was clicking away taking pictures, Chen Chuan stood there, looking at the second me, and saw that there was a slight blur on it, although it was very slight and could be ignored if one was not careful.

And this color...

He stared at the open space below, and suddenly thought of the blood-like substance he and Ren Xiaotian had collected from the vicinity of Jiaoshan when they first went to the wilderness to do a commission.

It seems that someone also bought that thing.

After taking a few looks, he, Luo Kaiyuan and Feng Xiaoqi walked down the slope. In fact, they didn't feel very good when they got there. There were people turning the soil everywhere, making the surroundings full of mud and dust. In addition, there was a lot of sand and dust in the wasteland. It was not a place to stay for a long time, so the three of them walked around for a while and went back.

Although Feng Xiaoqi said he would shovel the soil, he didn't really do it.

On the way back from Zhangshan, Chen Chuan was still thinking about the color red, and also about the demise of Molan Company...Molan Company, red...

He suddenly thought of something, and using the excuse that he had something to do at the company, he separated from Feng Xiaoqi and Luo Kaiyuan halfway and rode his bike to the city center where the Molan Building was originally located.

He parked the car first, then walked into the nearby river. He carefully checked the two banks and the bottom of the river for a while, and found a very fine and difficult to distinguish red mark there. The mark was very long.

He swam along the river channel and came to the Baihe River in the south of the city. He found that the river was still not cut off and continued to extend forward, with no one knowing where it went.

When he got here, he did not continue, but returned to the shore. As soon as he came out, wisps of white steam floated off his body. When he walked into a telephone booth, his clothes had already dried.

He picked up the phone and made a call. After waiting for a while, the other end answered, "Director Lei? This is Chen Chuan. I think I know what that person wants to do."
