"Hmm~ It's a very fitting song title."
Qingque nodded happily and began to hum along softly.
The lines were so catchy and resonated with her laid-back personality that she could sing them perfectly after just one listen.
The two of them were singing in unison, leaving Walter both amused and exasperated.
Theoretically, Qingque is currently on duty and carrying out a mission, yet she's singing a slacking-off song with Qiong. Although the lyrics have a rather open-minded feel, it's still quite strange.
"Qingque, is the work of the Grand Tutor really that busy?"
After humming along to a catchy song for a few lines, Xiao Sanyue asked curiously.
"That won't do. I'll be responsible for compiling and summarizing all kinds of intelligence, calculating a large amount of information, filtering out the information that fits the formula, and then calculating to clarify the specific content..."
Qingque's little face twisted slightly, as if recalling some unbearable past events:
"The Taipusi (Taipingsi) was an endless sea of suffering for scoundrels; no matter how hard they tried to turn back, they could never see the shore! That period was a nightmare!"
This harmless and unassuming little sparrow is almost being tortured to the point of losing its feathers.
"It's alright, it's all over now."
Qiong spoke in a deep voice, pressing down on Qingque's shoulder to create a solemn and dignified atmosphere.
"What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Without the harsh realities of society, you wouldn't have your current unparalleled skill in slacking off."
"Ah, only Old Qiong truly understands me!"
Qingque grasped Qiong's hand with a sense of mutual understanding, playfully tilting her little head up:
"Hmph, speaking of this, I must tell you about my great talents and strategies, Old Qiong."
"You have no idea how much effort I put in to finally escape the bottomless pit of the computer science department and the data aggregation department!"
Qingque spoke with great pride about his brilliant plan to pacify Taibu and the glorious achievements of the surrendered warriors.
The system of diviners was divided into five levels: Grand Diviner, Assistant Diviner, Diviner, Diviner Official, and Diviner.
Under Qingque's strategic planning, she went from almost being promoted to the lowest rank of fortune teller to a position that she was firmly stuck with, and there was even a trend of her going even lower, which can be described as a very promising development!
Moreover, within the same system, even within the same level of position, some jobs can be so idle that you'll get moldy, while others can be so busy that they'll raise your hairline.
"My current job, managing the library, is one of the easiest positions ever!"
Qingque patted her small, barely curved chest with a proud expression.
She doesn't usually show off to others; she secretly slacks off and doesn't flaunt it.
Otherwise, someone might find fault with him, or the 'spy' sent by the Grand Diviner might overhear him, but Qiong is a close friend with whom one can talk freely.
"As expected of you!"
Qiong readily applauded.
"Then why do you still work overtime every day?"
Xing asked in confusion.
"Sigh, don't say anymore. People in the workplace have no choice but to follow their own path."
Qingque frowned, her little sparrow face looking miserable.
"There are still two mountains in my life that prevent me from completely giving up. One is that I have to go home every year during the Spring Festival to visit my parents and talk about my current life situation and future life plans, but I don't have any plans at all!"
"Besides, as soon as I entered the Bureau of Imperial Sacrifices and got a stable job, they started urging me to find a partner. I'm only a little over two hundred years old, why are they in such a hurry!"
"They even wanted to arrange blind dates for me...wait a minute!"
At this point, Qingque seemed to suddenly remember something and tugged at Qiong's arm:
"Old Qiong, why don't you come home with me next time Yuan Chun comes, and help me fend off the enemy?"
"no problem."
Qiong gave an OK sign.
Bai hope blinked blankly, and a bunch of question marks popped into her head. Wasn't she asking why she was working overtime?
Why did the topic suddenly jump to going home together to meet each other's parents for Chinese New Year?
Even before March 7th could voice his complaints, the topic immediately jumped back to the beginning.
"Secondly, there's the Grand Diviner. Her actions are as precise as a jade omens, and she always manages to add new tasks for me when I'm taking a break—tasks that are usually the work of other staff members!"
"That's going too far!"
Qiong immediately spoke up in defense of him:
"As long as you don't take the pressure seriously, no one can put pressure on you, Little Sparrow. Let me teach you a few tips to deal with your boss."
"Oh? Tell me quickly!"
Upon hearing this, Qingque became excited, seemingly wanting to see what brilliant plan Qiong had in mind.
"Remember this: when the boss serves food, I turn the table; when the boss is ready to win a hand, I win by myself; when the boss offers a toast, I don't drink it; when the boss works overtime, I leave work!"
"Old Qiong, you really are a genius!"
Qingque was immediately astonished, "Even a secure job couldn't withstand this kind of abuse, could it?"
"What do you need a secure job for? I asked a friend to register a card and board game company. Once Emperor Jade is launched, you can be fired and the chairman will take over seamlessly."
Of course, her friend was the cosmically super-rich Estádio, with Qiong's arm around Qingque's soft, delicate shoulders.
"When the time comes, we'll put on a show for the Grand Diviner. The three-year term will be up, and the Youth General will arrive at the Grand Diviner's office."
"I'm still waiting for President Qing to take care of me!"
"That makes sense!"
Attracted by the bright future depicted by the sky, the bluebird's eyes shone.
"I want one too! I want to be kept by Qingque!"
Xing jumped up with her hands raised.
Amidst laughter and conversation, the star raft sailed out of the ferry dock.
The Taibusi is the place that holds the Great Dao of Heaven and is in charge of predicting the mysterious opportunities of the future. Such an important institution would naturally not be connected to commercial streets or residential areas to prevent the data from being stolen by people with bad intentions.
The conversation jumped around between topics like Tai Bu's height, tips for slacking off, the Imperial Jade, card games, meeting his future in-laws, and whether or not to have children.
About half an hour later, after passing through an area composed of white mist and seawater, the speed of the star raft slowed down.
"Is this the Temple of Apostles?"
On March 7th, looking around with wonder, I took out my camera and started snapping photos.
The pavilions here seem to float in the clouds, as if supported by pillars, with hanging gardens soaring into the sky. They appear to float in mid-air above the clouds, with a light mist drifting by, giving people a wonderful feeling of encountering a fairyland.
"Wow, it's huge!"
Bai hope was surprised.
It's even bigger than the entire commercial street in Changletian!
The Starship entered the port of the Taibusi and docked smoothly. Qingque led everyone to the main gate of the Taibusi, only to find that the gate was tightly closed and could not be opened.
"That's strange?"
Qingque scratched his head in confusion.
"Let me guess, did the door suddenly break?"
March 7th, they jumped out.
"I don't understand."
Qingque shook her head: "The gate is locked. It's never been locked before. The Grand Diviner reminded me to bring the key."
"Hey, even if the cafeteria food is terrible, you can't just turn away your guests!"
Qingque shouted at the top of her lungs into the room, but no one responded.
Is it possible that you've been fired?
Xing rested his chin on his hand and thought for a moment before speaking.
"You know what, you really shouldn't tell me...!"
Qingque was suddenly overjoyed, then sighed deeply, "Unfortunately, it's unlikely."
"Close the gate... It's probably related to that damn star core erosion again. Forget it, I'll take you to the Free and Unfettered Gate!"
Qingque gestured for everyone to walk to the side.
"The Carefree Sect?"
Xing tilted her head in confusion.
"Oh, that's what the servants call us. When we're bored, we often escape from here and enjoy ourselves for a few hours."
Qingque answered in a lazy yet pleasant voice.
"How many hours?"
Bai hope blinked.
If she remembered correctly, one hour was two system hours. Normally, it was an eight-hour workday. In other words, Sister Qingque could slack off for a while... um.
"How many hours a day did you used to touch it?"
Qiong asked curiously upon hearing this.
"Under normal circumstances, I could work for about 7.5 hours out of an 8-hour day. But later, the Grand Diviner kept throwing work at me, so I could only manage to work for a little over 5 hours."
"I am willing to become Little Sparrow, and you will be the leader of the Taibu Si Xiaoyao Sect, the strongest slacker!"
Qiong was filled with awe and reverence.
She can finish all her work within half an hour; it has to be said, Qingque is a true genius.
"Hey, Lao Qiong, how did you know about the title my colleague gave me?"
Qingque felt no guilt whatsoever. Why should she do the work of two or even three people for the salary of one?
As she spoke, Qingque skillfully opened the side gate, Xiaoyao Gate.
The next second, the laughter stopped, and the atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
After a few seconds of silence, Xiao Sanyue spoke first.
"...Are you surprised? I'm not surprised at all."
She shrugged as she looked at the monster, which resembled an ancient tree with gnarled branches, wore plant armor, and was covered in golden leaves.
"Side by side, let's go!"
Xing, carrying a baseball bat, charged forward with Flame Spear.
Qiong pulled out a Clow Card and snapped her fingers crisply. A gentle breeze formed chains that bound the Demon Yin, followed closely by sharp wind blades.
PS:
290
Chapter 290 Sparrow, I'm really going to send it this time!
The entity known as the Star Core is extremely aggressive; its appearance signifies disaster, and it even tailors the disaster to the specific circumstances of the civilization it inhabits.
On Yalilo VI, the disaster caused by the star core was a cold wave; on Luofu, the disaster caused by the star core was the induction of the demonic spirit.
Taibusi is one of the many places on the Immortal Ship where demonic calamities have occurred.
Unlike Beloborg, Luofu, being an interstellar civilization, was almost powerless against the cold wave. Although it could not completely eliminate the calamity of the demonic shadow, it was basically able to control the situation.
However, it's impossible to be perfect in every aspect.
The demonic Yiners encountered by the train group were the ones who had slipped through the net. After being bound and played by Qiong, Xing used a flame spear to pierce through their internal organs and easily dealt with them.
Led by Qingque, we walked through what looked like an antique-style door, which was actually a smart door made by Xianzhou Technology.
"Oh, what a rare guest."
A man dressed in blue stopped what he was doing to greet the group as they approached.
