Chapter 52: The Task That Will Definitely Find You

It turns out that Professor Mina is his contact person.

Du Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly. The way this beautiful spy arranged their meeting was just too open, making it unbearable for him.

However, out of caution, Du Chen didn't shake hands with her and instead looked at Mina in confusion, saying, "What Law Enforcement Temple? I've never heard of it. Professor Mina, what kind of joke are you playing? It's not funny, really!"

"Enough, kid, don't try to play innocent with 'Rose' sister!" Mina pulled a nearby table and sat on it, with one leg hanging down and the other bent and supporting on the table. This posture, combined with her black tight-fitting clothes, was extremely provocative. Du Chen couldn't help but suspect that she was a seductive female spy.

"But your caution is commendable. Those of us in this line of work have to be cautious and careful!" Mina flicked her long hair and said, "The boss has told you the secret code. Feel free to ask!"

Du Chen deliberately changed his standing posture, avoiding direct eye contact with Mina, and hesitated, "I don't understand what you're saying."

"Damn it, you're too cautious, kid. Then let me tell you, now you should ask me whose portrait is on page thirty-seven of the Holy Scripture, and then I'll tell you that Mars' boss has a red beard!" Mina said impatiently.

Du Chen smiled. The secret code was correct. Mars had indeed instructed him like this, saying that someone would contact him voluntarily after entering the academy, and the secret code would be these two unrelated sentences.

"Hehe, I didn't expect my contact person to be a professor! But Miss 'Rose,' your way of greeting is hard to accept."

Du Chen moved a chair and sat away from her. "Is there anything you need to instruct me? You can tell me now."

"Hey, I'm the White Robe Archbishop, three ranks higher than you. At least show some respect for your superior!" Mina said.

"I only have one superior, and that's the boss. It was decided when I joined. And whether I take on tasks or not depends on my mood. You have no authority to command me, so if you have something to say, say it quickly. I don't have much time."

Du Chen had a very negative impression of this beautiful spy who seduced him from the start, so he spoke impolitely.

"The damn boss, how did he send someone like you! Listen carefully, I am the chief liaison officer of the Law Enforcement Temple in the academy, responsible for the communication between you and the boss. You don't have to do anything on normal days. If there are tasks, I will come to you proactively. Of course, whether you take on the tasks or not is up to you. And if you have any trouble, you can come to me!"

"Is that all? Got it." Du Chen stood up and started to leave.

"Wait!" Mina reached out and stopped him. "That's all for official business, but sister has a personal matter to ask you!" She leaned her head towards Du Chen and smiled. "What secrets do you have? To make the boss treat you so indulgently. Honestly, I've been a spy for many years, but I've never seen such an arrogant newcomer like you."

"When you are promoted to the rank of Archbishop, I will tell you!" Du Chen smiled.

Damn little brat, are you deliberately provoking me, sister?

Arrogant newcomer, if you disrespect your "elders," I'll give you some trouble!

Mina jumped off the table and walked to the bed, flipping over a piece of parchment from under the mattress. "I suddenly remembered a task that suits you. Are you interested in taking it? Let me remind you, the boss has instructed that you and him have a cooperative relationship. So how much help you can get from the academy depends on how much you can contribute to the Holy Church."

"Tell me about it!" Du Chen casually asked.

Mina threw the scroll into Du Chen's hands and said, "Originally, there were two students in this year's batch who didn't have any Dou qi, and you are one of them. The other one is named Arthur!"

Two students who entered the academy without any Dou qi?

Interesting!

Du Chen lowered his head and read the parchment. It depicted a portrait of a handsome young man with golden long hair, but he looked sickly. There was a slight resemblance to Du Chen's recent temperament.

Mina introduced, "You were able to enter the academy because the Holy Church helped you cheat, while this Arthur was endorsed by Zig, and he is the grandson of the 'Lionheart King'!"

Arthur's background is impressive! Du Chen was greatly surprised.

Alonso, the Lionheart King, a level ten fighter god with the title of 'Lionheart,' the unrivaled ruler of the Reno Empire. Being his grandson, Arthur's identity was naturally extraordinary.

But why would a worthless person without any Dou qi enter the academy?

I entered the academy for two reasons: to leave the cold Saint Kain Manor and to learn more skills to apply the Lotus Inner energy But what is Arthur's reason?

Mina happened to mention this question. "With the literary and martial talents of the Lionheart King, there is no need to send his only grandson to the Fighter God Academy. He could have taught Arthur himself! Moreover, Dean

Zig and the Lionheart King Alonso have always been at odds. But this time, the stubborn and rigid Ziggert violated the school rules and specially approved the Lionheart King's grandson, a worthless person, to enter the academy. There is something suspicious about this, so the Holy Church needs to investigate the reason for Arthur's enrollment.

However, due to his family background and lack of Dou qi, Arthur has developed a very reclusive personality, and it is difficult for ordinary people to get any information from him."

Du Chen interjected, "I am also a person without any Dou qi, but suddenly I became a gifted water element user. Arthur sees hope in me, as a person who went from being worthless to a genius. So, I can become friends with him and have a chance to find out the reason for his enrollment."

"Yes, that's it. Do you want to do it?" Mina took back the parchment from Du Chen and stuffed it under the bed.

Du Chen shook his head slightly. This mission was too despicable.

Having a noble family background as a fighter god but lacking Dou qi, Du Chen had personally experienced the pain that came with it. The strange gazes, disdainful attitudes from people around him, and the contempt from his family were all burdens that were difficult for ordinary people to imagine.

Put yourself in Arthur's shoes. If you suddenly found hope to escape from the pain and had a friend, only to realize that this friend is a spy and the hope is illusory, how devastating would that be?

To go from the peak of hope to the bottom of despair is unbearable.

This mission was simply playing with a pitiful and introverted child, giving him hope and ruthlessly destroying everything.

Moreover, this child's grandfather seemed to have the title of the first fighter god in the Celestial Continent. Yes, Big Brother Steve mentioned it!

"Sorry, if I want to know his secrets, I have to become his friend first. But I never betray my friends, even though I have very few." Du Chen walked to the door and turned back. "I won't take this mission."

Mina shrugged indifferently. "Then you can leave. But let me remind you, even if you don't go find Arthur, he will come to you! Because the news of you going from being worthless to a genius must have spread. Oh, please forgive me for using the word 'worthless,' but I don't think you mind now. Our poor little Arthur will definitely come to you to ask for the method of going from being worthless to a genius."

"Yes, he will definitely come to me, but that's not something you should worry about!" Du Chen opened the door.

"Hehe! You're really an interesting kid! By the way, before you go, let me ask you one last question." Mina approached the door, leaning against the door frame teasingly. "You don't seem interested in beautiful women! And it seems like you dislike them!"

"So what?"

"Then you're in for a surprise!" Mina laughed. "As a water element student, you will enter the Water Pavilion for studying. That place is where the most beautiful.
