It sounds incredibly impressive.
But Lu Ding had doubts. He looked down at the somewhat dented rabbit head he had just taken out.
"This thing, with this quality, actually has such significant importance?"
Deputy Director Lü was still gazing at the display case with a sentimental expression, his back to everyone.
However, his assistant and An Wuyang immediately looked over.
Their eyes suddenly widened.
The emotion in them couldn't just be called surprise—it was absolute shock!!
"Rabbit..."
The assistant raised his hand, pointing at the rabbit head in Lu Ding's hand.
He had barely gotten one word out when Deputy Director Lü cut him off."Goddammit, don't speak! I haven't finished yet."
"Individually, it can only be considered a valuable treasure, but as a complete set it's different. Moreover, the twelve bronze heads have a certain connection to our nation's national fortune."
"After all, the twelve zodiac animals originated from our country."
"Then there's the twelve-year cycle, twelve months in a year, twelve two-hour periods in a day—the number twelve represents many things."
"There are also the twenty-four solar terms, which relate to twelve as well. Think about it—twelve two-hour periods correspond to twenty-four hours, and twenty-four hours align with the twenty-four solar terms, right?"
"From a fundamental definition perspective, replicating the twelve bronze heads isn't difficult. The challenge is that these twelve bronze heads as a complete set were the first to emerge, occupying the primordial 'one,' making them extremely important."
"If you understand it this way... HOLY MOTHER OF GOD!!!!!!!!!"
"You... this... this is..."
Deputy Director Lü's astonishment came from his turning around.
So what if he was at the Heavenly Perception realm? So what if he was the Deputy Director of Great Han's 749 Bureau?
Even at his level.
There were still things he couldn't believe seeing with his own eyes.
Searching for it countless times in dreams, suddenly turning around to find the rabbit head right there within arm's reach.
Deputy Director Lü's body trembled with uncontrollable excitement as he slowly raised both hands and stepped forward cautiously.
The assistant beside him wanted to say: "How could the rabbit head be with you..."
"Don't speak!"
Deputy Director Lü's voice made him shut up again.
He reached out carefully to touch the rabbit head in Lu Ding's hand.
That feeling, that texture, that familiar connection.
Made Deputy Director Lü so emotional he couldn't control himself, so excited his mouth went dry, so thrilled that blood vessels appeared in his eyes.
He was certain—this was the genuine article!!!
He looked up sharply at Lu Ding: "This... this is... where did it come from?"
"Didn't I go to Wei Gao on a mission?"
Deputy Director Lü: "I sent you there."
"I eliminated a sect."
Deputy Director Lü: "I know about that, the Diancang Sect."
"An ancestor emerged, and I had a discussion with him."
Deputy Director Lü: "Must have been very friendly."
"Then he told me about the existence of this rabbit head."
Deputy Director Lü: "That's a good man."
"He said that back then, a rabbit spirit injured our Lingshun 749 Deputy Director and stole this rabbit head, then fled to neighboring Wei Gao."
The two of them were performing a call-and-response routine, with Deputy Director Lü even setting up Lu Ding's lines.
Deputy Director Lü: "So it was actually a rabbit spirit that stole it all along, damn its eight generations of ancestors!!! That motherf*cker........"
After Deputy Director Lü finished cursing, Lu Ding continued.
"Don't worry, I killed it—skinned it alive, roasted rabbit."
Deputy Director Lü gave a thumbs up: "Incredible, what a character, well done!"
"Except this rabbit was quite the formidable character, so during the fight, he used this rabbit head as an artifact. I couldn't hold back in time, so..."
At this point, Lu Ding.
Rotated the rabbit head in his hand, revealing the somewhat dented part on the back.
Deputy Director Lü hadn't seen this part earlier—it was hidden.
Now that he saw it.
He was stunned again and again.
Three handprints, clearly deeply impressed into the rabbit head.
"So when you said it was very important, I was puzzled—this quality doesn't seem like anything special. But then after what you said."
"It was like enlightenment! Honestly, leadership is different—your knowledge base is truly substantial."
Deputy Director Lü's mouth hung open as he took the rabbit head that Lu Ding handed forward after speaking.
While carefully feeling it, he said: "It's fine, it's fine, what matters is it's back. It's just dented, not broken—it can be repaired."
At this point.
He made a movement that felt extremely familiar to Lu Ding.
Picked up the rabbit head to examine it.
Then: "Doesn't affect anything, doesn't affect anything. Should be able to pinch it back into shape."
Lu Ding: !!!!!!!
"Don't!!!"
Crack!
Well, too late.
Your hands are too quick.
Another handprint was left on the rabbit head.
Well then, the world truly is one giant makeshift operation.
Lu Ding quickly lowered his head, pretending to examine the floor.
This floor really is quite floor-like.
The assistant and An Wuyang beside him—one looked at the left wall, the other at the right wall.
These walls really are quite wall-like.
Deputy Director Lü didn't speak for a moment, just silently turned the dented side toward himself, exactly like Lu Ding had done earlier.
Then he began consoling himself: "It's fine, it's fine, it's just dented, not broken. We have the best restoration team—it can be repaired."
Well, at this point.
Whatever you say goes.
Lu Ding definitely wasn't going to respond anymore.
Awkward silence.
A strange cold breeze seemed to blow through the room.
Deputy Director Lü quickly changed the subject to what interested Lu Ding most.
"Lu Ding, you've accomplished a great service this time. Let's calculate everything one by one."
"First, you completed the mission of releasing the national calamity, repaying Wei Gao in kind while also affecting the battle situation on the front lines."
"Given the difficulties, dangers, and numerous obstacles involved, I'm crediting you with eight thousand contribution points for this mission."
This was truly substantial. Lu Ding's eyes instantly lit up.
He continued listening as Deputy Director Lü said: "The rabbit spirit and the rabbit head, while related to the same incident—the rabbit spirit injured the Deputy Director of our branch, and you killed it."
"This constitutes apprehending and executing a transnational fugitive, and given its severe impact and powerful abilities, I'm crediting you with five thousand contribution points."
"The rabbit head, for Great Han, is of paramount importance both in symbolic meaning and practical function, so I've decided to award you twenty-five thousand contribution points."
Thirty-eight thousand contribution points for one mission.
This was the first time Lu Ding's mission rewards had broken five figures.
Director Lü is generous!!!!
This astronomical number was something Lu Ding wouldn't have dared to imagine before.
Such a huge amount of contribution points, plus the Perfect Ascension Pills.
Our Grand Duke Lu is definitely going to be stuffed!!!
But this wasn't all.
Deputy Director Lü then dropped another bombshell.
"The rabbit head's significance is extraordinary. This is just what I'm giving you."
"More rewards will be decided after the rabbit head is repaired and sent together to the Second Circle, where Great Han will hold meetings to discuss and issue you even better rewards!!!"
