The Growth of a God

Chapter 1: Long-Awaited Field Assignment (1/5)


Time flies, the years slip by like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, there was less than a month left until Li Hao's college entrance exam.

During this period, Huo Dou, as half an incarnation of Li Hao, gradually adapted to the work atmosphere of the 749th Bureau.

Although it's a formal government agency, the internal atmosphere of the 749th is actually much more relaxed than Li Hao imagined.

Apart from the core members like He Bo, Luo God, and other extraordinary ability users, the main task of this agency is the research of various supernatural projects.

Therefore, the vast majority of the members of this agency are ordinary researchers.

Especially in city-level bureaus, Huo Dou had been in the agency for two months, but still only interacted with some internal staff.

These internal staff joined the 749th Bureau as elite members through formal civil service examinations.

According to Li Hao's observations, their understanding of the 749th Bureau seems limited to it being a specialized secret research unit.

Only a few who interacted closely with He Bo and Luo God vaguely realized the peculiarity of the 749th Bureau.

"No wonder the other staff on this floor are so hostile towards me..."

"I suppose in their eyes, I belong to the type that relies on connections to idle away my days, right?"

Sitting in his exclusive office, Huo Dou could now skillfully joke around with Luo God.

Through their time together, Luo God had evidently completely accepted Huo Dou's existence.

The terrifying impression he left was gradually fading away bit by bit.

"It's not just you; I imagine my image in their eyes is probably even worse."

She shrugged indifferently.

Unlike Huo Dou, Luo God also had a celebrity identity outside.

Therefore, in the eyes of quite a few civil servants, Luo God was viewed as a shameless person relying on her celebrity status and connections to steal their jobs.

After all, celebrities do make a lot of money, and rarely do they neglect their main profession to show up every day at a city-level government unit to clock in.

"Luo God? Huo Dou?"

While the two were engaging in their daily banter, He Bo's voice suddenly came from the water cup on the desk.

"You two come to my office right now; we're going on a field assignment this time."

The two of them were first taken aback, then exchanged a meaningful glance.

Since they came here, this was the first time Huo Dou had heard He Bo's voice so tense... and angry.

"Let's go! Looks like He Bo is really in trouble this time."

Gently pushing back his chair, Huo Dou got up and beckoned Luo God to head out.

"The boss is great at everything except the habit of not liking modern gadgets that needs improvement."

"When he could just call us directly, why does he always prefer using 'water' as a medium?"

In this scenario, Luo God reluctantly stood up.

But more than complaining, Luo God showed more fear and trepidation at this moment.

Luo God was just a bit carefree, not someone who hadn't seen the world.

From the sound of He Bo's voice just now, Luo God had already discerned some ominous implications.

"Don't worry, it's just a field assignment."

Seeing through Luo God's emotions in one glance, Huo Dou smiled as he ruffled her hair and then walked out the door before she could flare up.

In a sense, teasing this little girl who lacked any celebrity airs had unconsciously become a part of Huo Dou's routine.

Perhaps, this is also why Luo God continuously caused trouble for He Bo, yet he never considered replacing her?

"With me here, you all definitely won't run into any trouble."

.........................................................

Government building, inside He Bo's office.

Unlike the leisurely demeanor of the two slackers, He Bo's daily life appeared far busier.

An ashtray filled with cigarette butts...

Notebooks and documents scattered everywhere...

And the takeaway meal boxes that hadn't been cleared away...

Despite being part of the same special department of the 749th Bureau, He Bo's office presented a completely different work state.

"Old Yuan, can't we really defer this field assignment?"

"Let's not even talk about any underlying complications..."

"Just based on the abilities that guy has demonstrated, it's obviously beyond the handling capacity of a city-level unit, right?"

"I think we must have a special officer of the 'Dragon Child' level to handle it!"

Holding a phone in one hand and continually tapping the desk with the other.

He Bo's frustration reached a point where he couldn't care less about formality, and he growled low in a tone holding back his rage.

"What?"

"'Dragon Child' is also occupied right now?"

"Then have special officers from other units handle this; otherwise, what's the point of those parallel units?"

Though He Bo's attitude was already pretty clear, the stance on the other end of the line was evidently firmer.

"What do you mean I'm too indulgent with them?"

"Don't you know the situation of my subordinates?"

"One's a girl who's still wet behind the ears, and the other is a Ye God who just began interacting with human society."

"I know you don't trust Huo Dou and want to test his abilities through this opportunity..."

"But you shouldn't throw such a dangerous task to us, right?"

"You're using us as scapegoats!"

Slammed the table in frustration, He Bo tried his best to argue back, but he couldn't change his superior's attitude.

Or rather, from the moment He Bo chose Luo God and Huo Dou as his subordinates, it was destined that similar situations would happen frequently.

"Old Yuan! Old Yuan!"

Only when He Bo shouted twice more to the phone, did he realize the call was hung up.

"Yuan Gang, you old bastard!"

"We've been friends for so many years, and you dare hang up on me!?"

Not sure whether it was anger or helplessness.

He Bo paused for a long time, ultimately choosing to put down his phone and let out a long sigh.

"Sigh, this is why I hate you cold-hearted people."

Despite being frazzled and upset, He Bo's sense of duty and crisis didn't allow him to sit and wait.

Simply composed his emotions.

He Bo picked up the materials and documents scattered on the floor and began to carefully read the intelligence related to their current target.

This is He Bo, a man capable of perfectly controlling his emotions and temper.

As a friend, as family, He Bo is the most trustworthy.

As a colleague, as a superior, He Bo is one you can rely on.

And as an enemy, He Bo would be the most terrifying nightmare of his opponents.

Well, that's all assuming he's not fighting personally...
