Chapter 125: Chapter 119: Testing Cadres With This?

"Ah, I’m going to die."

The Corpse Interpreter feels going to work is like attending a funeral.

He’s never done this much work during the day...

Putting up banners, setting up KT boards, arranging seats, placing table name cards, distributing conference materials, contacting Extraordinary and municipal staff assigned on the list...

He’s the kind of person who’s ambitious to work eight hours a day, but slacks for seven, and now dealing with conference tasks has already exhausted today’s work quota.

What to do, how can he find a chance to slack...

Looking at the string of calls that haven’t been connected yet, especially the Extraordinary ones, the Corpse Interpreter has to find each one personally if not contacted.

As someone who walks less than three thousand steps a day, his band already shows two thousand steps...

Last night, when he was lying in the freezer, he should have pulled the door shut himself, trapping himself!

Let no one find him, slack off under the guise of a paid day-off, sleep for an entire day, and claim he was in a coma from overusing his ability.

While the Corpse Interpreter wallows in regret, he hears someone shout for help to move a table, and his eyes immediately brighten.

The chance to slack has arrived!

"I’ll do it, I’ll do it."

The Corpse Interpreter feels like he’s "floating" beside the person, helping to lift the cabinet.

"1, 2, 3, up!"

"Crack."

"Corpse Interpreter, are you okay, are you okay?"

"Hiss—"

The Corpse Interpreter frowns and apologetically says to his colleague:

"Sorry, it seems I’ve pulled a muscle in my back, need to go to the infirmary."

"Do you want me to accompany you?"

"No, no need."

The Corpse Interpreter briefly handed over the unfinished tasks to the Investigation Team leader responsible for the event at the scene, then left the venue while limping.

Checked the time.

He’s already worked for 59 minutes today. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Just one more minute to a complete hour of work...

Well, well.

...

The Corpse Interpreter limped into the infirmary.

"Corpse Interpreter, did your back get strained again?"

"Yeah, sorry."

"Hmm, next time don’t lift heavy things; you’ve been hurt before, and your body can’t take heavy loads."

"There was just a need at the venue, and I forgot, wanting to lend a hand."

After explaining how he got injured to the on-duty [General Surgeon], the Corpse Interpreter handed over his hands, with the General Surgeon touching the Corpse Interpreter’s...

Pulses.

Checked the left hand first, then the right, confirmed the Corpse Interpreter’s back was indeed strained.

Picked up the desk phone, dialed 300:

"[Glueball], please make some plaster for strains... Yes, it’s for the Corpse Interpreter."

Then, the General Surgeon recorded the Corpse Interpreter’s visit in the backend, while the Corpse Interpreter skillfully filled out the "medical leave form," completing it with "3 days rest period" before handing it over for the General Surgeon’s signature.

While signing, the General Surgeon also gave some medical advice:

"Corpse Interpreter, counting this time, you’ve strained your back 26 times this year, need to be more careful."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Also, you’re a bit kidney deficient."

"Yeah, yeah."

"Are you planning to go to the bar for drinks tonight?"

"Yeah, yeah... No, I won’t."

After much hassle, the Corpse Interpreter blissfully lay on the hospital bed, playing on his phone.

Remembered to inform the lady beforehand:

"Tonight, the dear sisters we called, try not to exceed 100 pounds."

"Alright, Brother Tyrannosaurus."

"No drinks tonight, milk tea instead."

"Brother Tyrannosaurus, sure, we’ll try to find some Happy Milk Tea."

After that, the Corpse Interpreter began lurking in various groups.

Mainly to check out the spicy pictures shared by group members, holding on to a critical eye to enhance aesthetics.

Of course, if the image quality in a group is not high, or old images are often shared, the Corpse Interpreter would share his own treasured pictures to promote mutual support.

"Is this how you test the cadres?"

"..."

After lurking in today’s various groups, the Corpse Interpreter decided to indulge in the ninth art, but at that moment, a hot profile pic person in the chat added him.

Looked at the note—

A-Lustful Sister

Is this a work account?

For such work accounts, the Corpse Interpreter usually...

Agrees directly.

He’s a nice person; although he doesn’t like working himself, he’s supportive of others’ work, and he personally likes street art...

...

River Debris City.

Three Hundred and Two Building.

Top floor.

"Strange, why haven’t I heard of a crazy eating incident?"

A sister dressed lightly, lying on a beach chair under a sun umbrella, browses posts on the Extraordinary Universal School’s official exchange platform.

Not finding the news she wanted, she doesn’t mind.

She was the Lustful Legislator, and to be honest, she wasn’t particularly interested in the possibility of a new Gluttonous Legislator taking office.

However, if that person appeared in an area she was responsible for, she would have to extend a welcome...

Which would be quite bothersome.

If they were sensible, it would be easier to handle, but if they weren’t...

Then eliminate them and see who the next lucky person might be to become the Gluttonous Legislator.

Rather than worrying about where the new Gluttonous Legislator might show up, she’d rather tease the new kid she just added.

Hey...

The other party actually invited her to a video call.

The Lustful Legislator remarked that starting a video call didn’t faze her at all.

"Oh, you’re just a little brother, huh?"

"How do you think sis rates, still good-looking, right? Not deceiving with filters, right?"

"What am I doing? I’m sunbathing, just got nobody to apply sunscreen for me..."

With every laugh and smile from the Lustful Legislator, the Corpse Interpreter dialing in felt like...

They had found love!

After being on video together for a while, the Lustful Legislator started to feel bored, so she found an excuse to end the call.

Seeing the sun getting a bit strong, the Lustful Legislator glanced at the lineup of handsome abs guys standing on the rooftop, looked at the numbers stuck on their beach shorts, and called out:

"Number 18, come, apply sunscreen for me."

The abs guy called by the number trembled all over.

But still picked up the sunscreen prepared in advance, and nervously approached...

Watching the Lustful Legislator lying on the beach chair, looking delectable, Number 18 swallowed hard and crouched down slowly.

Lustful Legislator: "Make sure to apply it evenly."

Abs guy: "Yes, ma’am."

Lustful Legislator: "Be gentle, I’m a lady, you know."

Abs guy: "Sorry, ma’am."

Lustful Legislator: "How about it, my skin’s pretty good, isn’t it? How does it feel?"

Abs guy: "Ma’am’s skin is very well-maintained, it’s an honor to apply sunscreen for you."

Lustful Legislator: "Since it’s an honor, why are your hands trembling so much?"

Saying that, the Lustful Legislator gently held Number 18’s hand, spreading his palm open, she carefully examined the lines on it, and slowly ran her fingertip over it:

"Your hands are really beautiful, I’m quite a hands person, you know?"

"Young man, your career line’s quite long, must be a very ambitious guy."

"Young man, your love line’s not bad too, must have a girlfriend you like very much."

"However, young man, your life line... seems a bit short?"

Upon hearing the Lustful Legislator’s words, Number 18’s abs guy trembled even more.

Tears fell uncontrollably, but recalling the teachings from many seniors who applied sunscreen for this adult in front of him, he nervously said:

"Please, ma’am, teach me, teach me what I should do, how... how... how can I make the life line longer."

"Don’t cry, since I’ve discovered your life line’s short, I’ll naturally teach you. Actually, it’s quite simple, all you have to do is...

chop off your hand."

Saying this, the Lustful Legislator, with eyes alluring enough to make men fall over themselves, looked at the young man, and with enticing lips softly asked:

"Isn’t my method wonderful?"

"Ma’am... ma’am such... such wisdom!"

"Your hand, I really like it, could I keep it eventually?"

"Yes, yes, you can."

Just as the Lustful Legislator was about to gently wipe away the young man’s tears, a flamboyantly dressed woman approached and knelt on one knee beside her:

"Madam Legislator, the police have checked all our businesses in Joyful District."

"Definitely under the orders of that damn Captain of the City Management Team!"

Upon hearing this, the Lustful Legislator’s chest visibly rose and fell, but she quickly calmed down and asked:

"What did Vice Captain Xiyu say over there? He didn’t forewarn us?"

Hearing the question, the reporting woman hesitated before saying:

"During the police’s surprise inspection, Vice Captain Xiyu from the River Debris City Urban Management Team was spending time in one of our pubs, and our sisters along with him and some customers were all taken away together."

Lustful Legislator: ...

...

River Debris City.

Joyful District Detention Center.

"Xiyu, come out! Someone’s bailing you out."

A young man with a mischievous smile, in disarrayed clothes, stepped out of the detention center gate, just in time to see a familiar figure.

"Captain!"

Seeing Xiyu about to embrace him with a big hug, the Captain of the City Management Team stopped him, picking up the willow branch he held, started brushing it over him...

"How did you get yourself caught again?"

"I was going to pay, but they said someone’s covering for me, isn’t that just gifting me money! I figured with a toe it’s certainly that Lustful woman’s doing, they want to corrupt me! Want to infiltrate our City Management Team! Captain, think! I’m such a straight guy, can they have a chance? They want to test us officials with this? Underestimate me, I turned right around and reported myself!"

Captain of the River Debris City Urban Management Team: ...

"Watch yourself, you’re practicing Child Skill, don’t let it get ruined."

"No worries, Captain, I’ve got it covered, I went to practice willpower."

...

Meanwhile, Ke Chen City, Chenxi District, Li Family Manor.

"Sister Chuchu, can I have a little more?"

Seeing Qianqian’s hopeful expression, Li Chuchu was a little hesitant...

She looked towards Lin Hao, who she had summoned, explaining the situation:

"Lin Hao, Qianqian started eating from 2 AM and hasn’t stopped, she’s eaten at least eighty pounds of food already..."
