Chapter 356: Lawyers Also Need to Learn Fishing!
"Kid, what nonsense are you babbling about every day? Let me tell you, putting people inside wasn't my intention, it's all them..."
However, before Old Tang could finish, Lin Nannan quickly said, "Of course, Uncle Tang, I understand, I totally understand."
"They wanted to go in themselves, right? You didn't actually have such thoughts."
"Sigh, how does anyone like going to jail these days... Uncle Tang, I've already decided, I want to study at Handong Political Law in the future..."
After chatting a few words, Old Tang hung up the phone with a smile. The little girl seemed much more cheerful compared to before.
When they first met, she didn't even seem like a middle school student.
However, the most important thing now was to check the case's completion rate.
As expected, the case completion rate this time was as high as 600%... Only 600%?
Old Tang immediately wanted to retract the cup of tea he'd just raised in salute, wondering why putting so many people inside only resulted in a 600% completion rate?
Is this a joke? Even Tan Lidong was taken in, what else could be done?
Should higher-ups than Tan Lidong be targeted?
Forget it, 600% is 600%, at least some life span has been added.
As for skills, Old Tang didn't care so much anymore. Whatever is given, he'll use it.
"System, claim task rewards!"
As soon as the words were spoken, the system's voice quickly appeared: "Task rewards have been issued, please check them, Host."
Here it comes, that feeling again, with the injection of life span, Old Tang felt elated once again, a sensation stronger than any pleasure imaginable.
He even worried that he might get addicted.
With another year added to his lifespan, there's no immediate concern about running out of life.
Then the system's voice sounded again: "Detected host task completion rate 600%, additional reward skill 'Immune to Cold and Heat (Pseudo)' has been issued."
What the heck? Upon hearing the skill name, Old Tang was dumbfounded. Immune to Cold and Heat? Are the rewards from System Dad this awesome now?
Just by its name, it's clear the skill protects against the cold and the heat when activated, almost like the Great Sage Equalling Heaven's 'Water and Fire Immunity.'"
But soon, Old Tang realized he was overthinking, this skill... indeed meant literally what it says.
In summer, he wouldn't feel hot, and in winter, he wouldn't feel cold, but only regarding the weather.
Moreover, activating it doesn't mean losing all sensation; in fact, sensation itself is a survival skill for humans, losing it would be dangerous.
You could possibly die of heat in summer, or freeze in winter.
When this skill is activated, it seems like some kind of barrier is established on the skin, keeping the hot and cold at bay.
This way, it's much better.
Actually, Old Tang found it a bit strange, theoretically, with a skill like "Pain Shielding," temperature sensations should, in a sense, be a form of pain.
But, unfortunately, the system might have its own definitions for these things, so it can only be said that all explanations lie within the system.
Still, having this skill is pretty good, with no significant consumption in daily life, just a passive skill.
In summer, when working, he won't be drenched in sweat; in winter, he won't be too cold to sleep.
He remembers once when it was especially hot, he wished the system would give him a skill that made him immune to both cold and heat, and to his surprise, it did!
Handong is still manageable, but going to Hannan, especially in Jiangguang Province, where it's scorching, living there with this skill would be much more comfortable.
Based on Old Tang's experience of living there, surviving without air conditioning is impossible.
When it rains in Handong, it cools down, but there, it turns into a steamer.
This time, Old Tang was very satisfied; having sent people in, he gained longevity and skills, which was already quite good. Time to go home.
That day, Old Tang boarded the plane back to Jingzhou.
At the airport, it was already past nine in the evening, and as expected, upon walking out he saw Wang Qingqing waiting outside.
"Let's go, Qingqing, home!"
"Okay, Brother Tang."
There was none of that excitement from novels and TV shows about meeting after a long time, just like family, they exchanged casual greetings and headed straight home.
Old Tang slept soundly until dawn, and honestly, his bed was better than the hotel's.
Even though he had been out for some time, the house was still clean, Wang Qingqing would drop by to clean whenever she had the time... whenever she felt like it.
In the office, only two people could manage her, one was Old Tang, and the other was Old Wang.
In Old Tang's absence, Old Wang would say even less, so she did whatever she wanted.
Standing by the window after waking up, he saw it started drizzling at some unknown point last night, such weather is what Old Tang likes the most.
Having handled two cases in a row, and the second one being mentally exhausting, even for Old Tang, it was a bit much.
He needed time to recuperate and also find a good place to vent his feelings.
The oncology and psychiatric departments of Handong Provincial People's Hospital were such good places.
Old Guo was already eagerly waiting, having called several times. This visit was a must.
While there, he might as well discuss a case with a few friends over in the psychiatric department... Based on the previous situation, it seemed like Director Liu Binxin was about to have an episode too.
