Chapter 58: Opportunity

“Nope!”

“I agree!”

“A hardworking and outstanding employee like Little Su should be converted to a full-time member early!”

“…”

All the managers spoke up in agreement.

As they did, they directed amiable smiles to Su Jingxing.

Whether they were sincere or not, they had to make their positions clear at this point.

Because this incident was no joke.

If handled well, the crematorium would undoubtedly reap considerable praise.

If not, even the crematorium would have to join in the compensations.

Correspondingly, in the eyes of others, Su Jingxing, who had caused trouble, had nothing better to do and was nosy.

So what if the man wasn’t dead?

Once he was cremated, who would know that he wasn’t dead?!

Su Jingxing was already prepared for this.

He was no longer the person who had just transmigrated.

If he leaves the crematorium, extracting cards would be more troublesome, but there wouldn’t be a big impact on him.

Wu Shouhan making clear his stand was within expectations.

Other than his position being confirmed, his monthly income had also increased.

10,000 Great Yu dollars.

That’s right. An intern’s monthly salary was only 1,000 dollars, and one had to work half a year.

After becoming a full-time employee, it becomes 10,000 dollars at once and with various benefits on top of it.

This system adopted by the crematorium had stopped many people.

However, those who persevered were doing well. At least, they were making enough to support their family.

Those who did not need to provide for their families, such as Feng Tiejian, ate and played every day.

Initially, Su Jingxing still had more than a month before he could become a full-time employee. Now that it was brought forward, his heart was calm and his face was filled with excitement. He thanked the director. “Thank you, Director.”

“You’re welcome, you deserve it.” Wu Shouhan continued to channel internal force.

Although Su Jingxing had guessed something, he still asked curiously when he saw his actions, “Director, what are you…”

“Trying to wake him up.”

Wu Shouhan chuckled. “This… Right, what’s his name?”

“Zhang Shanfu,” Su Jingxing replied.

“Zhang Shanfu, is it?”

Wu Shouhan nodded. “Zhang Shanfu’s cause of death is drowning. This means that his biggest injury is internal injuries. Coincidentally, the internal force that I cultivate has healing properties. It is especially obvious for internal injuries. Zhang Shanfu is being brought back to life after a false death. If we give him internal force now, he will recover faster. If his injuries are not serious, he will wake up soon!”

“I see,” Kong Dabao said, envy filling his face.

The others also nodded in agreement, as if they shared the honor as well.

Su Jingxing gave him a thumbs up.

Wu Shouhan’s internal force was indeed effective. He could hear Zhang Shanfu’s heartbeat getting stronger.

This meant that the internal exercise that Wu Shouhan cultivated was not average.

Ordinary internal exercises do not have this ability.

Of course.

It would still take a while to wake Zhang Shanfu up.

Wu Shouhan’s internal force was used to protect Zhang Shanfu’s body and mind to revive him completely so that he would not die again due to some accident.

Therefore, after channeling some internal force into Zhang Shanfu’s body, Wu Shouhan led the management to carry Zhang Shanfu out of the morgue to be treated.

Su Jingxing and Kong Dabao stayed behind and continued working.

What happened next had nothing to do with Su Jingxing.

Word of this matter spread very quickly.

After all, this was the first time that a person who was about to be cremated in the Western District Crematorium was found to be still alive.

Everyone in the crematorium, including the families of the deceased who happened to be sending them off today, were discussing fervently.

During lunch, Gu Bo, Feng Tiejian, and the rest of the team went to Su Jingxing and gave him a thumbs up.

“Little Su, well done. If it were me, I definitely wouldn’t have discovered it.” Feng Tiejian bit into a prawn and sighed.

“Yeah, who would expect Zhang Shanfu to still be alive?” Gu Bo agreed.

“Hehehe, you guys don’t know, but when Little Su said that Zhang Shanfu wasn’t dead, he gave me a big scare.” Kong Dabao winked.

“That’s for sure, even I would be shocked.”

“This is the difference between all of you and Little Su! You guys have been moving corpses for years, but in the end, your guts are nothing compared to Little Su’s!”

“Tsk! You make it sound like you wouldn’t be afraid if you were there.”

“Well, isn’t it because young people are healthier and gutsier?”

“…”

The group joked as they ate.

Su Jingxing, as the person involved, was the target of all the jokes.

Su Jingxing’s mouth twitched as he listened. He quickly changed the topic. “I heard that Zhang Shanfu has woken up?”

“Yes, just a few minutes ago.”

Gu Bo nodded. “He is lucky too. He fell into the water after being frightened and almost drowned.”

“Frightened?” Su Jingxing caught the key point.

“In Sky Water River.” Feng Tiejian interjected. “Many people claimed to have seen a very big black shadow in the Sky Water River these few days. It’s said to be a Mutated Beast in the water.”

“Mutated Beast in the water?” Su Jingxing’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

“Whether it’s true or not, we don’t know yet,” Gu Bo explained. “However, there were indeed many people who saw it. Zhang Shanfu was not the only one who was shocked. He’s considered lucky. He fell into the water and was quickly pulled up. I heard that a few people disappeared after falling in!”

“Disappeared? They were eaten? How come I didn’t know about this?” Kong Dabao was wide-eyed.

“I heard it from someone else this morning.”

Gu Bo put down his chopsticks. “Right now, whether it’s true or not remains to be confirmed. However, for safety’s sake, the Public Security Team has already set up a blockade by the river. I believe that the Martial Suppression Office has also shown up. As for the details, we still have to wait for news.”

Feng Tiejian shook his head and said, “Heh, the massacre of the Dagger Gang and consecutive extermination of two branches of the Black Tiger Gang caused many innocent deaths and angered the Martial Suppression Office that the entirety of their forces were mobilized to investigate the mastermind. Otherwise, I believe we would have long figured out the situation in the Sky Water River.”

“There’s no rush now.”

Kong Dabao pondered for a moment before saying, “As long as no one appears by the river, what can the Mutated Beasts in the Sky Water River do?”

Not necessarily!

Su Jingxing thought to himself.

He had just learned about the existence of suspected Mutated Beasts in the Sky Water River.

For the same reason as the Martial Suppression Division. Over the past few days, he had been paying attention to Duan Feihong and company.

Yesterday, he was busy taking revenge on Wan Rong.

He really didn’t know about the incident at the Sky Water River.

The Sky Water River was a long river that came down from the Green Cloud Mountain Range. It was less than a hundred meters away in front of the crematorium’s main entrance, and geographically, it surrounded the Qinghe City.

In ancient times, the Sky Water River was used as the moat of Qinghe City.

It’s width ranged between 200 to 500 meters, and the deepest section was nearly 100 meters deep.

All along, the Sky Water River had been an important resource of Qinghe City. Relying on this river, the profits were abundant every year.

Now that there was an existence suspected to be a Mutated Beast in the water, thorough investigations would definitely be done.

Of course, before the situation becomes serious, the people on patrol from the Martial Suppression Office would not be too strong.

And this gave Su Jingxing an opportunity!

The corpses of Mutated beasts, be it Savage Beasts or Spiritual Beasts, could be extracted.

And quite a number of cards could be obtained.

If there is really a Mutated Beast in the water, what cards will I extract?
