Retired for A Hundred Years: Re-Employment for the Apocalypse Bigshot!-Chapter 409 - 404: All Three Are the Same Company

Both the Ministry of Education and the regional Education Bureau use an internal education system for all staff offices.

It has a unified information database, just like the security bureau’s internal information system.

Everyone has different access permissions according to their level.

For example, Feng Qiusheng, he is the director of the Activities Office of the Anhe City Education Bureau, and his access permission is limited to the list of schools under his jurisdiction within Anhe City.

Moreover, each activity has set access permissions, and only personnel related to the activity have the right to view it.

Therefore, outsiders find it difficult to access the complete Hua Continent high school student information.

Only those at the Ministry of Education level, specifically the deputy minister in charge of events and activities, have access to the complete list of Hua Continent high school students.

"Before, Director Wang asked me to understand these. Now you are added to the people who have seen our city’s student list." Feng Qiusheng’s tone was cautious, afraid that Ji Ning would catch some flaw of his.

Ji Ning glanced at him, "Are you very nervous now?"

Feng Qiusheng’s hand paused while scrolling the mouse, "Detective Ji is joking. Anyone would be nervous standing next to a senior detective from a special department. I’m just an ordinary person."

Ji Ning smiled gently, as if casually sweeping her glance around, "Director Feng also likes playing the game Chaotic World Fire?"

Feng Qiusheng followed her gaze, landing on his son’s toy model, secretly relieved, "That’s something my son bought impulsively, I don’t know much about games."

Ji Ning nodded slightly, walked over and picked up the unopened toy model to examine it.

This model is officially sold by the game, and each box costs at least 99, charged according to the craftsmanship and size, the more complex, the larger the model size, the more expensive it becomes.

Moreover, the official released collector’s and limited editions of different versions.

Each version has different prices, but they often sell out.

Previously, Bai Xiaotang tried to grab a collector’s edition but failed, wanting to pay a high price to buy it from someone else, but was stopped by Ye Tong.

Thinking of the money his son spends on buying models, Feng Qiusheng smiled helplessly, "Nowadays, game companies are really making money from kids everywhere, buying equipment, skins, and models, tightly grasping children’s psychology."

Ji Ning put down the box, smiled, "The game company’s Smart Brain technology is indeed impressive, with a wide business scope, both sponsoring competitions and developing software."

Feng Qiusheng’s relaxed expression froze for a moment, Ji Ning continued, "The sponsor of the module in Anhe City Gymnasium and Chaotic World Fire belong to the same company, right?"

"Really? I’m not sure..."

"The technical support for the internal software you are using now should also belong to this game company. So, Director Feng, tell me, how did this company approach you?"

Feng Qiusheng’s smiling expression became impossible.

Regarding what Ji Ning said about the three being the same company, he truly didn’t know.

It’s just that the sponsor of the high school competition in Anhe City was found through connections, and that’s how the bid was secured.

"Detective Ji, I really don’t know?"

"You don’t know how the sponsor approached you?" Ji Ning’s gaze gradually turned cold.

Feng Qiusheng still wanted to conceal, but upon seeing Ji Ning’s eyes, somehow his brain couldn’t control itself and confessed.

"This year’s sponsor was recommended by someone above, that’s why I finalized it."

"Who?"

"Director Qi, who is in charge of the distribution of competition quotas in the Ministry, Qi Shixiao."

Ji Ning’s pupils contracted slightly.

Qi Shixiao, member of the Qi Family, Lin Yuanyang’s maternal uncle.

Before Zi Yanran awakened her superpower, her surname was Qi, and her family was a scholarly family.

Lin Yuanyang’s grandfather was once the principal of Beijing University, and grandmother served as dean at another university.

Although the Qi Family doesn’t have much power, they are very authoritative in the education circle.

Many family members are civil servants within the education system.

This Qi Shixiao is Zi Yanran’s younger brother, in terms of seniority, he is Lin Yuanyang’s maternal uncle.

***

Mingfu Garden.

Bai Xiaotang and Lin Yuanyang are teaming up to play a game.

Both of their game characters have already awakened their superpowers, and their levels are not low, making monster hunting quite handy.

"Gu Xiaosi, are you stupid or what?" Lin Yuanyang was nearly driven mad by Gu Sili and Bai Xiaotang.

Playing a game, they could run into a monster pile.

He saved this one, then had to save that one too, his health rapidly declining.

"Lin Yaoguan, who are you scolding? Didn’t see that I was taken there by Bai Xiaotang?"

Lin Yuanyang glanced at Bai Xiaotang, who shrank with a guilty conscience to a corner of the sofa, and said, "She’s lost, are you lost too? What is your brain used for?"

"Tch, not playing anymore!" Gu Sili angrily exited the game.

Sitting not far away, Gu Shuangcheng saw his own brother again being completely outplayed by Lin Yuanyang, and helplessly shook his head.

"How was the preliminary selection today?"

"Definitely won." Gu Sili looked at his phone without lifting his head.

"I wanted to ask, how’s Anhe doing?"

Gu Sili raised his head, "They won, they’ll go to a neighboring city to compete the day after tomorrow."

"So, you guys are going to meet in the finals?"

"Not necessarily, the average strength of their school’s players is not high this time."

"Lin Yuanyang told you?" Gu Shuangcheng was somewhat surprised, but Gu Sili replied indescribably, "Even Bai Xiaotang can participate, how high can their players’ strength be?"

Gu Shuangcheng: ...

"What’s wrong with me participating?"

Suddenly, an unhappy female voice came from Gu Sili’s Smart Brain screen.

Gu Sili was startled, and only then did he realize that although he had exited the game, the voice system wasn’t closed, so he awkwardly hung up.

On the other side, Bai Xiaotang was infuriated, her face turned red, standing on the sofa, she pointed at the Smart Brain screen and swore to Lin Yuanyang, "Xiao Yang, I’ve decided, I must kill my way back to Beijing and fiercely defeat Gu Xiaosi!"

"That depends on whether others can perform well."

"They must perform well! With Sister Ning here, we won’t lose!"

Bai Xiaotang was full of confidence, hands on her hips, raising her chin towards the ceiling.

The arrogant appearance, completely unlike the Bai Family’s useless role when she first came to Anhe.

At this moment, suddenly came a cold female voice from not far away, "It’s already this late, and you two haven’t gone to sleep?"

Bai Xiaotang instantly became submissive, hurriedly jumped off the sofa, didn’t even wear her shoes properly, rushed upstairs in two strides.

Huang Ying rubbed her brow helplessly.

Finally understood the often repeated words from Bai Yusen’s mouth.

Raising a younger sister requires endless concern.

In the future, it’s better to have sons!

Humph, who would want to have kids with him?

Huang Ying was frightened by her own imagination, quickly went to the kitchen to grab a beer to calm herself down.

"Instructor, help me get a bottle of milk."

Without turning back, Huang Ying directly grabbed a bottle of milk and handed it to Lin Yuanyang behind her.

"Ji Ning asked you to check the company behind Chaotic World Fire." 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

Lin Yuanyang nodded slightly, took the milk back to his own room.

Chaotic World Fire is a globally popular shooting game in recent years, backed by strong capital strength.

During today’s game, he saw many props printed with a red cube-style logo in the corners of the module.

This logo initially appeared in the startup screen of Chaotic World Fire game.

After several iterations, the logo disappeared.

Because of his remarkable memory, he noticed this detail.

Could it be that there’s a problem with this company?
