Chapter 868: Chapter 460: A City Transformed into the Gu Kingdom

"Is this Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory?"

"It seems... quite ordinary, doesn’t it?"

Across the road, Hong Xiaoyun, carrying a backpack and a suitcase, lifted her head to look at the Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory opposite.

It didn’t appear as grand and impressive as she had imagined.

The workshops and factory buildings were all grey and pretty rundown.

Security wasn’t very tight; at the security booth by the entrance, several guards were even chatting and laughing.

In her mind, Marquis Qing Yue was also caught in an awkward situation.

"I say, disciple, did you find the wrong place?"

"Look at the sign at the entrance; it says ’West State Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory,’ not Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory."

"Isn’t this just an ordinary factory?"

Whew...

A cold wind blew, sweeping away the dead leaves on the road, and Hong Xiaoyun tugged her hood of the jacket.

"Uh... Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory is the common name used by the public. Its official name is indeed West State Ninth Pharmaceutical Factory. That’s correct.

"We applied for the Immortal Exam with this company.

"But... I also think it’s too ordinary, right? Maybe there are many factory areas?

"Did we come to the smallest and most rundown one?"

Just as she was wondering, someone suddenly tapped her arm.

She turned her head to see a man in civilian clothes, not sure where he appeared from, showing his credentials.

"Hello, miss."

This man had a stern expression, which startled Hong Xiaoyun.

She instinctively looked at the man’s credentials and saw the badge of the Immortal Committee.

Was he an undercover Immortal Technique Committee member?

"Miss, what are you doing here? Can you explain your purpose for being here? Can you provide your ID and related documents?"

Hong Xiaoyun hurriedly took out her ID from her pocket.

"I... I’m Hong Xiaoyun.

"I am..."

As she panicked, her master’s voice echoed in her mind, teaching her how to respond, so she quickly followed up.

"I’m here for the Immortal Exam, applied to Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory, wanting to take a look at the future workplace first."

The undercover Immortal Technique Committee member was stunned for a moment, looking at Hong Xiaoyun’s face.

Then he used his own phone to read the magnetic card information in Hong Xiaoyun’s ID, confirming her identity, and found that she indeed applied for the Immortal Exam.

At this point, the undercover Immortal Technique Committee member finally breathed a sigh of relief and grinned.

"Hahaha, young lady, you’re pretty confident, huh?

"So sure you will pass the exam?

"Already coming to check out the workplace in advance?"

Hong Xiaoyun blushed and quickly asked.

"Brother, is this really Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory across the road?

"Why is it so rundown?"

The undercover Immortal Technique Committee member waved his hand.

"What do you know?

"A bun’s meat isn’t in its folds!

"Expert Bai Mo is afraid of interrupting production, so he didn’t bother with renovations.

"The cafeteria and benefits inside are top-notch."

Hong Xiaoyun nodded.

In her mind, Marquis Qing Yue also relaxed... though the factory looked tattered and worn, it had undercover guards keeping watch around, definitely not simple, should indeed be Bai Mo Pharmaceutical Factory!

The undercover returned her ID to Hong Xiaoyun, instinctively glancing again.

"Huh? You’re from the Yishui race?

"Special nationality?"

Hong Xiaoyun nodded.

"Yes."

The undercover finally said.

"Don’t wander around here, take a look and quickly leave."

After saying this, he watched Hong Xiaoyun leave, seeing her walk further away, heading to the next intersection.

...

After passing another intersection, the streets got busier, and there were more shops, becoming very lively.

Early morning stalls selling spicy soup and pan-fried buns were still open; people were happily having breakfast.

Hong Xiaoyun lowered her eyebrows.

"Master, what should we do?

"Just glancing from the road, there are undercover officers coming to question.

"This factory’s security is too tight; can we get in?"

In her mind, Marquis Qing Yue sit at the table, supporting his jaw, pondered for a moment, his eyes darting around quickly devising a plan!

"Xiaoyun’Er, now, find a shop immediately!

"Look for a shop that makes banners!

"Make a banner commending the factory employees’ brave deeds and then send it inside."

...

Whew...

The cold wind whistled outside the window.

Inside the pharmaceutical factory office, it was as warm as spring.

Wu Qingyun as usual, sitting behind the desk, fretting over her tasks.

Fang Xiaoyu as usual, "click clack" editing files, frowning as she replied to emails.

Bai Mo, holding his disciple Big Fire Cloud, was reading through a paper.

"In modern society, there’s so much detail about clothing materials now?

"Weaving techniques, materials, coating, lamination..."

The so-called Danpi is actually the clothing for a Pill, a kind of composite fabric.

Looking at it now, it really has a strange resemblance to the human fashion industry.

Bai Mo rolled the mouse wheel, read, and occasionally took a sip of water.

Suddenly, the office door opened.

A huge fish tank was pushed in from outside.

The tank was filled with water, and swimming inside were many fish that seemed scared during the move, darting around quickly.

Struggling to move the fish tank was none other than Factory Manager Chen Yuanlin.

Wu Qingyun, Fang Xiaoyu, Bai Mo, and Big Fire Cloud all turned their eyes to look.

"Hey, Old Chen, what are you doing?"

...

Whew...

The cold wind swept through Yishui City, blowing past the bustling and busy vegetable market.

The chubby young man Wang Chonghui cut a piece of pork tenderloin, weighed it, quickly wrapped it up, and handed it to the woman buying meat.

"A large tenderloin, one pound and two ounces, just fifteen yuan for you."

The woman smiled broadly, scanned to pay.

"I don’t know why, but auntie just loves the meat from your shop.

"Your meat tastes much better when stir-fried compared to others, almost addictive, hahaha."
