“Ah, although I won’t be keeping this money for long anyway. I still need to use it for Xiao Rou’s medical treatments. This sum will be enough to cover her treatments for quite a long time.”

The room fell quiet for a moment before Monica continued,

“Speaking of which, Miss Bai Yu is such a good person. It’s a pity I heard she had an emergency and had to leave; I haven’t even seen her at all today. I really wanted to thank her in person.”

“What’s there to thank her for? That’s money you rightfully earned.”

Saying this casually, Phil was actually thinking about something else.

Bai Yu had probably returned to W City.

With such a major incident occurring at Qingchuan Public, Bai Yu, as the Division Chief of W City’s Special Operations Division, couldn’t possibly stay in X City for much longer.

It just wasn’t clear what exactly the operation Bai Yu and the Special Operations Division were carrying out in W City had to do with the Metamorphosis Society…

Coming back to her senses, Phil suddenly asked with an odd expression,

“By the way, you keep affectionately calling her ‘Miss Bai Yu’ this, ‘Miss Bai Yu’ that… do you actually know who Bai Yu really is?”

“Miss Bai Yu?”

Monica froze, twirling a strand of hair around her finger.

“Isn’t she a SAVE employee?”

Phil chuckled.

“An ordinary employee? Your ‘Miss Bai Yu’ is the Division Chief of the W City SAVE Special Operations Division. There are only six LV5 Ability Users in all of District 1, and she is one of them.”

“Ehhhhhh?!”

Monica’s scream exploded in the room.

Phil’s mood instantly improved.

It had to be said that chatting with Monica was a very fulfilling thing.

Because she could always give Phil the startled reactions she wanted to see, which made her seem very knowledgeable.

“LV5?!”

“Special Operations Division Chief?!”

“There are only six in the entire District 1?!”

Monica hugged her pillow, looking completely dumbfounded.

“The strongest person I’ve ever seen in my life is still that strongest Calamity Hunter in X City, and he’s only an LV3! And he was my idol.”

“It turns out Miss Bai Yu is actually a LV5… Wow, I even talked to her, and, she gave me her business card!”

Speaking of this, Monica suddenly froze.

The next second, she showed an expression like she was about to cry.

“Wait a minute. Does that mean… someone at the Division Chief level personally invited me to join SAVE?”

Phil raised her eyebrows.

“That happened?”

“It did…”

Monica held her head, seeming a bit confused.

“But I refused! No, it wasn’t a refusal, I said I needed to think about it! Waaah, what a pity! Eh, will Miss Bai Yu be unhappy? After all, Miss Bai Yu is such a big shot…”

Phil watched her rolling around on the bed and couldn’t help but ask,

“Then why didn’t you agree?”

“Because my actual strength isn’t that great.”

Monica said dejectedly,

“If I joined SAVE, I’d definitely be exposed very quickly, right? What if I get discovered deceiving SAVE and get locked up in the Containment and Management Division…”

Why does even Monica think of the Containment and Management Division like this… Containment and Management Division, just what kind of reputation do you have out there?!

Though even the people in SAVE make jokes about the Containment and Management Division themselves.

After thinking for a moment, Phil said,

“Strength can be improved, and SAVE doesn’t only have combat departments. Even the Special Operations Division has civilian staff.”

Phil spoke reasonably, considering it as pointing a way out for this not-so-bright Contractor.

“So if you can raise your strength just a little bit more, I think you might actually be able to use this opportunity to join SAVE.”

Monica listened, completely stunned.

“Miss Phil, you know so much about SAVE.”

“A Devil naturally has to know a little bit about everything, otherwise who would believe you.”

Phil casually made up an excuse.

Monica immediately nodded, looking perfectly serious.

“Has the devil infiltrated SAVE this deeply? How terrifying.”

“…It hasn’t infiltrated at all, you just have no common sense.”

Monica crawled over to the edge of the bed, stretched out her arm as far as she could, and fished Bai Yu’s business card out of the pocket of her coat hanging nearby.

She looked carefully at the simple business card, which only had Bai Yu’s name and contact information on it.

But now, the weight of this business card had suddenly become completely different.

“Mmm…”

Monica held the business card in both hands, her expression somewhat dreamy.

“How about… once Xiao Rou is cured, I’ll try contacting Miss Bai Yu.”

Phil nodded, initially thinking this was a good idea.

But the next second, she suddenly realized a problem:

What Bai Yu gave Monica seemed to be her personal business card.

That is to say, there was a high probability that she didn’t want to recommend Monica to the X City Branch, but rather wanted to poach her directly to W City.

In other words, Monica contacting Bai Yu = Monica joining the W City SAVE Branch.

Wouldn’t that mean it might be possible to see this big golden retriever in the office building in the future?

Lin Han pictured a scene in his mind—

One morning, he would yawn and walk into SAVE.

Then, he’d see Monica waving at him energetically in the lobby, completely forgetting that she was holding a stack of documents. Papers would fly everywhere, and she’d end up picking them up one by one with a miserable look on her face…

He just felt that it would be weird for someone like Monica to show up at his workplace.

Phil immediately coughed and changed the subject:

“We can talk about this later. Do you have any ideas on how to cure Xiao Rou?”

Monica was stumped. She looked down at the business card in her hand and shook her head slightly after a while.

“No.”

Her voice lowered a bit.

“The doctor said Xiao Rou has a mana disorder, and the cause is unknown. Aside from continuing to use medication to maintain her condition, I don’t know what else to do.”

Monica quickly lifted her head again, cheering up.

“Right!”

“Tomorrow, I want to go buy gifts for Xiao Rou, Director Grandma, and the kids at the orphanage. After all, I got a lot of money this time, so it should be fine to buy a few things.”

At this point, she looked a little embarrassed.

“But I’ve never had much money before, so I’ve never really bought gifts for anyone.”

She looked pitifully at Phil.

“Miss Phil, could you come with me? To be my advisor?”

Phil initially wanted to refuse; after all, she still had work.

But as the words reached her lips, she suddenly remembered that she had been suspended for a week.

Hmm…

It seemed she didn’t have anything else to do?

Phil fell silent for a moment before finally sighing.

“Fine.”

Monica’s eyes instantly lit up.

“Really?”

“Yeah.”

“That’s great!”

Monica bounced right up from the bed, cheering “Woohoo!” and happily throwing her hands in the air.

“Miss Phil agreed to go on a date with me!”

A… date…?

Monica’s sudden words struck Phil’s brain like a hammer.

Thinking about it carefully… the two of them had agreed to go out together tomorrow.

To go shopping together.

To buy things together.

To eat together, although Phil couldn’t eat herself and would probably just have to watch Monica eat.

Isn’t this exactly…

“Is this… a date?”

“Eh? But when two people agree to go out together, isn’t that a date?”

Monica asked in confusion.

“What else would it be?”

“Care package purchasing assistance… service?”

“What kind of administrative report title is that!”

Monica burst into laughter, incredibly happy for some unknown reason, her eyes shining brightly.

Is there really a need to be this happy?

Are you an elementary schooler looking forward to a spring field trip?

Although she really wanted to say that out loud, Phil merely tapped Monica’s forehead lightly.

Even though she didn’t actually make contact, Monica still played along and let out an “Ouch.”

“Ah… I’m suddenly so looking forward to tomorrow…”

Lying in bed, Monica said softly.
