I'm farming treasure chests in the female-oriented world.

Chapter 45 Black Shield

10 PM.

Black Shield Corporation headquarters.

Exclamations of surprise echoed from the intelligence analysis room.

"My God, how do these paper figures fly?"

"How can these toothpicks be so powerful?"

Just how strong is Xia Xue?

"A clone? A puppet? Good heavens, a person in a vegetative state can be turned into a clone using just a paper doll? That's too bizarre!"

"Judging from their conversation, they refer to those who possess magical and secret arts as members of the Xuanmen (mystical sect).

"People in the Xuanmen sect really exist? I thought it was just a folk legend."

"Xia Xue seems to be a member of the Xuanmen sect as well."

"According to that person, Xia Xue is skilled in divination."

Xia Jue coughed lightly and pushed the door open to come in.

The noise in the intelligence analysis room suddenly stopped.

Xia Jue awkwardly said to the dignified woman in her forties beside her, "Boss, I'm sorry, but normally they don't do that."

The dignified woman smiled and waved her hand, saying, "Analyzing intelligence is normal; we do it the same way where I'm from."

After saying hello to everyone, he found a seat nearby and opened the video that Xia Xue had submitted.

The dignified woman quickly finished reading at eight times the speed, then said a few words of encouragement to the people in the intelligence analysis room before getting up and leaving with Xia Jue.

"Phew, that scared me to death."

"Is this our boss's leader? He has such a commanding presence."

"Nonsense, you should know her rank."

"Let's stop this topic. We can't discuss the leaders. Okay, let's get back to analyzing the intelligence."

"Yes, yes, analyze the intelligence."

Arrived at Xia Jue's office.

The dignified woman looked around and said with a smile, "You're President Xia now, yet your office is still so simple. That's rare."

Xia Jue poured a glass of water for the dignified woman, chuckled twice, and said, "I'm used to it. Besides, what kind of CEO am I? I'm just doing the same kind of work as people in the military."

The dignified woman picked up the water glass.

"The organization has seen your handling of the Netherfire matter, and the higher-ups intend to give you more responsibilities, including putting you in charge of the Xuanxiu (Mystic Cultivation) area as well."

Xia Jue was previously only in charge of the martial arts aspect.

Xia Jue quickly stood up, saluted, and loudly replied:

"Yes, mission accomplished."

The dignified woman took a sip of water and said to Xia Jue, "What do you want to say? You can say it now, and I'll try my best to help you with anything."

Xia Jue quickly seized the opportunity, smiling as she suggested, "Boss, you see, we're already short-handed enough just with martial artists, this..."

The dignified woman smiled and said, "I'll double your staff size."

Xia Jue's face immediately lit up with a smile.

"That weapon..."

The dignified woman smiled and said, "We can be more flexible. Sniper rifles, light machine guns, heavy machine guns—these individual weapons are all available to you."

Xia Jue could hardly believe her ears.

The leader is being far too generous.

Xia Jue continued her request: "That person with superpowers and the Xuanmen (mystical sect)..."

The dignified woman put down her water glass.

A light, crisp sound came from between the water glass and the coffee table.

Xia Jue immediately dropped his playful grin.

The dignified woman looked at Xia Jue calmly and said, "Superpowered individuals? Those are treasures from above, all at headquarters. I don't have a single one here. Where am I supposed to find one for you? As for the people from the Xuanmen..."

The dignified woman shook her head and sighed, "The Xuanmen are not quite what you think. They mostly keep their distance from the government. It seems that there is something about us government officials that can restrain them, weakening or even rendering their Xuan techniques ineffective."

Xia Jue's eyes lit up.

"Doesn't that mean...?"

Wei Yan snorted and said, "That's why the Xuanmen people are avoiding us. Besides, you're not entirely an official now, so it's hard to say how effective you can be to them."

Xia Jue thought about it and agreed.

He only holds nominal positions. If these nominal positions are useful, then those people in the Xuanmen sect are too useless.

Xia Jue estimated that even if it were useful, its effectiveness would be limited.

The dignified woman changed the subject, continuing, "However, we have discovered that a small number of people in the Xuanmen sect maintain a friendly and willing attitude towards the government."

Xia Jue's eyes lit up.

Before Xia Jue could even ask for it, the dignified woman silenced her with a single sentence.

"The higher-ups are still in contact. Even if an agreement is reached, the capital will be prioritized first, followed by the other prefectures and counties below us."

So they even talked about it.

Based on the above efficiency.

By the time they reach an agreement and the policy is extended to the prefectures and counties, it will probably be too late.

The dignified woman said pointedly, "Isn't there a ready-made member of the Xuanmen sect beside you?"

Xia Jue immediately knew who the leader was referring to.

"Xiaoxue is still young..."

The dignified woman stood up and gently patted Xia Jue's shoulder, saying, "Oh, I almost forgot, Xia Xue is already a member of Black Shield. You've done very well in that respect. Keep up the good work."

After saying that, the dignified woman turned and left.

"No need to take me home. Go home early. Only by getting enough rest can you do your job better."

After seeing her boss off, Xia Jue slapped herself hard.

"Seriously, why did I have to be so impulsive and make Xiaoxue a consultant for Black Shield?"

At the time, she did this just in case, so that she would have an excuse to intervene if Xia Xue did anything inappropriate.

After all, it was her parents who had gone through so much trouble to find their biological daughter, and she couldn't let Xia Xue have an accident right under her nose.

To her surprise, Xia Xue was even more composed than she had imagined.

The advisory role was never used.

Instead, it helped her complete several major tasks and even helped Black Shield complete a crucial transformation.

"This is such a mess."

It was almost midnight when Xia Jue finally returned home hesitantly.

The light in Xia Jun's study was still on.

Thinking of the message Uncle Qi had sent her, Xia Jue walked to the study door as if she were going to her execution. After hesitating for a long time, she gently knocked on the door.

"Enter."

The glimmer of hope in Xia Jun's eyes vanished completely, and he forced himself to push open the door and enter.

"dad."

Xia Jun sat behind his desk, put down his book, rubbed his temples, and said to Xia Jue, "You're back so late?"

Xia Jue stood at attention and replied, "I have a lot of work to do today."

Xia Jun paused for a moment and then said, "I've heard about what happened at the horse farm. The people from the clan did go too far. Let's handle it the way you and Yao Yao did."

Xia Jue nodded.

Xia Jun had no reason to object to this.

Xia Jun closed the book and said seriously, "Xiao Xue has been assassinated again?"

Xia Jue quickly said, "Xiao Xue is fine. She killed the assassin in one move and even prevented him from being silenced. We are interrogating him now. Once we get him to talk, it will be the day that Netherfire is destroyed."

Xia Jun paused for a moment before asking, "Can you handle this?"

Thinking of her newly expanded company, Xia Jue immediately assured him confidently, "No problem."

Xia Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and a smile finally appeared on his face.

"Yes, Father believes you."

We've finally overcome this hurdle.

Xia Jue breathed a sigh of relief.

Once outside the study, Xia Jue began to worry again.

"I've gotten past my father, but what about my boss? How do I get past him?"

If her family found out Xia Xue was going to work for her, they'd tear her apart.

However, orders from superiors cannot be disobeyed.

"I'm worried."

Xia Xue, covered by the blanket, lay on the bed, turned over, smiled, and mumbled softly as if in a daze.

"You've worked so hard, big sister..."
