Chapter 20: Group Leader Stealing People? Clean Record
Bai Yu placed his hand on the crystal, feeling nothing unusual, but the giant blue crystal reacted.
The energy within the crystal began to flow, becoming more intense. It was like brilliant stars, with countless crystal grains twinkling, quite beautiful.
After a while, the blue energy mass in the center grew from the size of a fist to the size of a football.
Its final diameter settled at thirty centimeters.
Compared to the giant crystal, the energy sphere inside seemed rather ordinary in size.
Bai Yu felt a bit regretful, but glancing back, he noticed that the Group Leader of the Ninth Group, who had been sitting leisurely on the sofa, had now stood up.
A teammate beside him whispered into Hu Chengyong’s ear, “Group Leader, should we get our gear?”
Bai Yu thought, ‘It seems… it looks pretty good?’
At this moment, the screen on the wall beside them showed a slight reaction. Numbers flickered continuously, finally settling at -698.
Seeing this, the Ninth Group Leader, Hu Chengyong, became uneasy and said, “Little Li, where did you find this person? Won’t you give me some face?”
Liu Feifei retorted angrily, “Hmph! Don’t even think about it!”
“Adults are talking, children shouldn’t interrupt.”
Liu Feifei instantly pouted, glaring at the bearded man. He wasn’t much older than her! He just looked old.
Li Yunbin, standing nearby, also broke his silence and said, “It’s related to yesterday’s rainstorm. This person is ours from the Seventh Group, so you can forget about it.”
The main reason he hadn’t spoken much before was his uncertainty about Bai Yu’s identity.
Bai Yu gave him a strange feeling.
When Bai Yu arrived, his calm demeanor could be understood as emotional stability and good capability.
However, obtaining an Ancient God’s Item didn’t seem like luck; rather, he appeared to have it all planned out.
He hadn’t figured it out yet, but after careful consideration, this person was definitely someone they needed to recruit.
Seeing that Li Yunbin had spoken, Hu Chengyong didn’t press the matter of recruiting the person, only saying, “To possess such immense Spiritual Energy right from the start, can he control it? How much time will it take…”
Liu Feifei, with her inability to hold back, really wanted to retort immediately: ‘I’ve already mastered it! Do you think everyone is stupid…’
Uh, it seems like she was talking about herself.
At least let’s get the contract signed, trick him into signing… then we can talk.
After the Spiritual Energy test, Hu Chengyong didn’t linger and left, out of sight, out of mind.
The man with glasses, Zhao Bin, saw him leave and immediately took out his tablet, recorded the information, and then looked at Bai Yu, saying, “Do you want to test your destructive power?”
“Spiritual Energy value is just a surface statistic; destructive power determines what kind of monsters you can face.”
Bai Yu was quite interested in this.
He felt his whole body was filled with energy, but there was no suitable occasion to unleash it.
Sometimes people have violent tendencies; many children liked to chop grass with sticks or kick down wooden doors at home.
Now that he had Extraordinary power, he naturally wanted to unleash it and see how his Great Majestic Heavenly Thunder Palm performed.
Monitoring room.
Director Yang sat in the central chair, quietly observing the overall situation.
His gaze was currently fixed on the screen from the Spiritual Energy detection room.
He was a powerful cultivator in the Fourth Realm, the Spirit Sea Realm, and a special self-awakened practitioner of the Power of the Ancient Gods.
His abilities were related to star-gazing, making him suitable for observing the big picture.
The reason he had gone to the main gate earlier was because he had sensed a unique power.
‘The Luck of this young man is actually a complete chaos.’
He pondered, ‘With the Li family kid holding down the Seventh Group, they should be capable of guiding this newcomer.’
Then he shifted his gaze.
He looked at the surveillance of the entire Jiangnan District.
On the screen, everything was peaceful, the tranquility of the night.
But in Deputy Director Yang’s eyes, Tianhai City seemed to be covered by a dark hand, potentially facing a crisis.
Yet, he couldn’t grasp its nature.
“The Vampire Baron the Seventh Group is investigating, the Dragonblood creature the Eighth Group is tracking, the Fishman Followers of the Ninth Group… and other districts.”
Since realm and combat power were not absolutely correlated, a grading system was established to better differentiate the difficulty of various incidents.
Therefore, the Official set up a level system.
Body Refining Realm roughly corresponded to levels 1-3.
Qi Gathering Realm roughly corresponded to levels 4-10.
Spirit Yuan Realm roughly corresponded to levels 11-25.
After arriving at the training room, Bai Yu didn’t waste time and directly condensed a Lightning Ball.
Once it reached the size of a football, he threw it.
The Lightning Ball crackled with Electric Arcs and struck the special wall in the distance.
“Boom~”
Sparks flew, creating a trace of lightning fire.
The screen displayed the relevant assessment.
【Destructive power: Level 3.5-4.8
Energy level: 50-80】
As soon as the test ended, Liu Feifei brought over the contract.
“Little brother, just sign your name on the third page, seventh page, and eleventh page.”
“Your salary card will be ready tomorrow.”
“Do you have any other questions?”
Bai Yu hesitated, “Um, can I ask about the benefits and what I’ll be doing daily after joining the Investigation Bureau?”
“The benefits are amazing! This contract gives you a base salary of fifty thousand per month, plus various bonuses. Most importantly, completing missions earns you Contribution Value. Contribution Value can be used to purchase all sorts of Extraordinary materials within the Investigation Bureau!”
“As for what you’ll be doing daily…”
Saying this, Liu Feifei was momentarily at a loss for words.
Based on Bai Yu’s strength, he could contend with some monsters.
However, Bai Yu was a complete newcomer with no experience. Sending him directly on missions might lead to trouble, and he would definitely need someone to guide him.
Second team, third team? That wouldn’t be ideal.
Such a talented prospect should ideally join the First Team.
However, with their five-person core team already formed, they would need to consider the Captain’s opinion.
At this moment, Li Yunbin spoke, “The five of us are the main combat members of the Seventh Group. Recently, we’ve been investigating a Vampire Baron.”
“However, we’ve mainly been dealing with low-level Blood Slaves. With your strength, you’re capable of participating in our operations. But you lack experience, so the risk factor would be quite high.”
Hearing the Captain’s words, Liu Feifei’s eyes lit up.
Was he going to be groomed as a core member right away?
That’s great! The team would be much livelier.
Bai Yu heard “Vampire Baron!” and immediately thought they sounded difficult to deal with.
Directly working with the Seventh Group’s main force was risky. Yet, he felt a surge of eagerness!
“What is your choice?”
“I want to try with the Group Leader!”
“Alright, that’s all for today. Do you need a ride back?”
Bai Yu thought of the intelligence from the Golden Page he had obtained today.
He thought to himself, ‘There’s an unknown risk in the near future! It’s better to lay low at the Investigation Bureau for now.’
“Um, Group Leader, does the Investigation Bureau arrange accommodation?”
“Of course, we arrange it. The five of us live in accommodation provided by the Investigation Bureau, which is also convenient for emergency operations. We can arrange it for you now. Do you need it?”
“Definitely! The Investigation Bureau is safe.”
“Feifei, you handle it. Remember to tell him more about our team’s recent missions.”
“Yes, Captain.”
Seventh Group.
Office area.
Half of the seventh floor, about two hundred square meters, was the Seventh Group’s office area.
Currently, about thirty people were working.
As Li Yunbin and Qin Wanqing and the other four walked in, they saw Deputy Director Yang sitting and drinking tea.
Li Yunbin asked in confusion, “Director Yang, is there something you need?”
Deputy Director Yang quietly took a sip of tea and asked, “Are you planning to check this kid’s file now?”
“Yes, after all, I want to train him as a long-term team member, so I need to understand him clearly.”
“Here, his background is clean, take a look.”
Li Yunbin took it and didn’t stand on ceremony, immediately starting to examine it.
Time of parents’ death, family background, etc.
Everything seemed normal.
But in Li Yunbin’s eyes, this was very abnormal!
Based on his interactions with Bai Yu, he felt Bai Yu’s life resume shouldn’t be so simple.
He should have sensed the existence of the Extraordinary world much earlier.
But Bai Yu was still dating in his junior year’s second semester.
And for the past month, he had been working at a Media Company.
People who knew about the Extraordinary world early on wouldn’t behave like this.
Li Yunbin looked at Director Yang in confusion, seeking an answer.
Deputy Director Yang said calmly, “This is his information, with no alterations.”
“His identity is clean. You should guide him well from now on; don’t let talent go to waste.”
After speaking, Deputy Director Yang left.
Although he saw Bai Yu’s Fate as chaotic.
He had recently re-examined the Fate of Li Yunbin and the others and found their Luck to be abundant!
After Director Yang left, Jiang Chen, standing nearby, took the file and glanced at it, confused, “Isn’t this resume quite normal? What’s wrong?”
He couldn’t quite understand.
Li Yunbin, recalling Director Yang’s abilities, felt a complex mix of emotions, lost in thought.
After a moment of silence, he said in a very calm tone, “It’s nothing. We’ve found a peerless gem this time; let’s cultivate him well.”
