Chapter 11: Silver Flint

“Let’s call it Silver Flint.”

Once the setting was complete, the pistol’s full shape appeared. Its body was silver-white all over, and the barrel made up seventy percent of it. It could fire magic bullets by consuming mana. When the trigger was pulled, it measured the wielder’s Intelligence rank. The higher the rank, the greater the power.

Lin Yu held the gun in one hand, aimed at the giant cockroach pinned by chains, and pulled the trigger.

A loud bang followed. A silver-white bullet formed from mana shot out instantly. The recoil was so strong that even Lin Yu, who had A-rank Strength, almost couldn’t keep hold of the pistol, and his arm was forced back.

The bullet cut a silver trail through the air and struck the giant cockroach exactly in the head. It pierced through its body and splashed blood. The creature died instantly.

The giant cockroach collapsed, green pus flowing from its body. But even dead, a mutant calamity like this was still dangerous. It had to be dealt with quickly.

“Holy shit, is the power really this high? Did I really create this with my superpower?”

This person possessing me had controlled my body for the first time, used my superpower for the first time, and succeeded on the first try. More than that, he had imagined such a powerful weapon. He was a genius among geniuses!

“It should be dead, right? Then I’ll head out first. Bye.”

“Wait, who exactly are you?”

Magical Girl Tianxing felt her perspective shift, and she was back in her own body. She stared at the giant cockroach corpse on the ground in disbelief. Thinking about what had just happened, she was still dumbfounded.

“Cough, cough… I, I should get Lin Yu to handle the scene as soon as possible. Cough!”

She was not wearing protective equipment. The area was already full of irritant gases. If she stayed, she risked fainting, and that would only cause trouble for Lin Yu.

“Lin Yu, come handle the scene, quickly. Watch out for contamination. I think it’s still active too. Be careful.”

The girl casually took out five hundred yuan and placed it on a nearby platform. She shouted outside, covered her nose, and ran out.

Lin Yu saw this and crawled out from the grass nearby. “Leave it to me.”

“Mm, then I’m heading off.”

Magical Girl Tianxing said goodbye to Lin Yu and left. Because she had inhaled a large amount of irritant gas, she decided to go to DIAB’s infirmary for a check just in case.

After she left, Lin Yu put on a protective suit, a gas mask, and picked up his tool kit. He walked into the chemical warehouse.

Once inside, looking at the familiar environment, he recalled controlling Magical Girl Tianxing in battle just now. Then he suddenly remembered that he was only a useless logistics worker. Looking at the giant cockroach corpse on the ground, Lin Yu smiled bitterly. He had fought the monster, and now he had to deal with it too.

Lin Yu first used a knife to saw off the giant cockroach’s antennae and dragged them to his car. Then he injected a polymerizing agent. The giant cockroach’s flesh and blood quickly condensed into a brownish-red energy crystal. Unlike ordinary energy crystals, this one showed signs of melting. If it was not stored properly, it might regain activity.

As for the polluted liquid on the ground? Lin Yu opened a bottle of specially made potion and poured it out. Layers of frost-like substance covered the liquid and broke it all down. He rinsed it with water, and it vanished.

Then he used professional repair tools to fix everything that could be fixed. Anything missed or impossible to repair would be left for the factory manager to handle. His main job was to take away anything related to calamities.

Right after that, Lin Yu saw the five hundred yuan Magical Girl Tianxing had left on the platform.

“Holy shit, I found money again? It clearly wasn’t here just now. Could it be… Magical Girl Tianxing left it here? Were all the money I found before from her?”

Lin Yu scratched his head. What he didn’t understand was, if Magical Girl Tianxing wanted to give him extra pay, why not give it to him face to face? Why leave it at the scene and find roundabout ways for him to pick it up?

After cleaning the scene, Lin Yu drove to DIAB. It was now 8:50 PM, and the company would be off work soon. If he came any later, he would have to find the night-shift security guard for the keys.

Active calamity-related items had to be sealed in Cold Storage Warehouse No. 2 immediately, or there could be bad consequences. Gu Xiaoxiao was a typical example.

On the way to the warehouse, Lin Yu happened to see Magical Girl Tianxing coming out of the infirmary.

“How is it? You’re not hurt, right?”

“Of course not. That calamity couldn’t hurt me.”

Magical Girl Tianxing raised her head, making it clear that she did not take a mere giant cockroach seriously.

‘Phew, good thing that person helped. Otherwise I definitely couldn’t beat that giant cockroach. Running away in disgrace would have been so embarrassing.’

“You’re fine, then.” Lin Yu nodded. He then took out the five hundred yuan he had found and asked, “Did you leave this money there?”

“What money? I don’t know.” A blush spread over Magical Girl Tianxing’s pretty face. She forced herself to stay calm and denied it quickly.

“It had to be you. Every time I clean up after you, I find money. There’s no way it’s always such a coincidence.”

‘When I possessed you, I didn’t see this money. It was only a short while. It couldn’t have grown legs and walked over here by itself, could it?’

“Do you have proof?” Magical Girl Tianxing seemed certain Lin Yu had no evidence. She pouted. “I would never give you money.”

Looking at the girl’s hurried retreat, Lin Yu fell into thought.

‘Why won’t she admit it?’

What Lin Yu didn’t know was that Magical Girl Tianxing only ran a short distance before stopping by a wall. She pressed a hand to her racing heart and muttered to herself, “How did he find out! Why is he so sure I left it? Couldn’t a factory employee have dropped it there?”

Lin Yu arrived at Cold Storage Warehouse No. 2. He placed the collected items into a special containment box, picked up a solidifying spray nearby, and sprayed the surface until the box was sealed. Then he pushed it into the freezer cabinet that held countless active calamity-related items.

Then he began filling out the form.

Calamity type: Insect

Calamity level: D+

Danger level: Some contamination, no mental erosion, still active.

Storage method: Cold Storage Warehouse No. 2. Frozen storage is enough.

Contained items: One energy crystal, two giant cockroach antennae.

“Hoo, done.”

Just as Lin Yu was about to clock out and go home, a provoking voice sounded from behind him.

“Yo, isn’t this Group Leader Lin from Logistics Group 3? What’s wrong? Still wiping other people’s asses? Hahaha.”
