Chapter 1 : Beginning

[Congratulations, you have completed a total of 89 B-level missions. Current rating: Two stars.]

Ji Yushi glanced at the notice on the transparent panel and emotionlessly walked out of the capsule.
He didn’t normally talk much and just directly began to narrate in a calm voice: “Prepare the mission log. Yan Que incident in 1396. The target got onto the train at Huanan County on December 13th of that year, passing through Huadong County. Train number X168, number of companions, 4. They are the main people involved in the case and it is quite different from historical records. It is recommended that the records are corrected.”

The team members carefully recorded it down.
Not caring that he hadn’t had the chance to catch a breath since completing his mission, one of the team members spoke up, “Teacher Ji, Chief Lin is waiting for you outside again.”

Ji Yushi held his head. This matter was more troublesome than crossing through time and space, “Here again?”
The team member could neither cry nor laugh, “Knowing that you would be back around this time, he has been waiting for almost half an hour.”

When Ji Yushi finished changing in the locker room, the head of the Ning City branch had actually lowered himself and was waiting for him outside.

“Xiao Ji!” Chief Lin came over and patted his shoulder with a big smile on his face, “Congratulations! Another mission completed and another step closer to your goal!”

Ji Yushi politely replied, “Thank you Chief Lin.”

Chief Lin went straight to the main topic, “Young man, you have a promising future! How about it? Have you considered the matter of going to Jiang City as support?”

Ji Yushi: “I told you last time I won’t go.”
Chief Lin’s smile didn’t change, “Hey, why are young people like you so narrowminded? You should know that rumours are rumours. After being passed around a few times, the contents of it change. You don’t have to delay your future prospects just because of a rumour.”

Ji Yushi answered calmly, “No one to help feed the cats.”

Modern people’s addiction to cats hadn’t changed despite hundreds of years passing by. Ji Yushi was a single man, but he was already raising three cats at home.

Everyone in the team were quietly listening from behind the door. They felt that Teacher Ji had a very good reason. Good rejection! Reject him!

They couldn’t be blamed for being so rude. It was because the people from the Jiang City branch were huge bullies!

They were similarly departments under the Tianqiong’s Time Management System, but the matters managed by Jiang City and Ning City were different.
Jiang City had always been responsible for combating various crimes and disasters and are known as ‘Guardians’. They can use extreme combat methods when necessary even if it was just to stifle the evil before it sprouts.

Ning City on the other hand was responsible for recording and restoring historical events both large and small and are known as ‘Recorders’.
This meant that they only record history, never intervening, so they didn’t even need to have a gun.

A week ago, a Guardian of a certain squad in Jiang City who was in charge of the ‘scouting’ task suffered some serious injuries. It just happened that the squad received a new mission soon afterwards, so they are missing a crucial member.

The Tianqiong’s management system had always been rather poor. The other squads were not able to immediately allocate support for the squad and it was almost impossible finding someone who could temporarily take over this important task. In the end, someone at the top racked their brains and remembered that there was someone in the Ning City branch who could be transferred over and a transfer order was subsequently sent.
