From the time travel, I became extraordinary
Chapter 541 Negotiation
It took Xiao Fang and his group only three or four days to arrive at Taoyuan, a small county town on the 18th tier.
In the eyes of those bigwigs above, their Emergency Management Office may not be taken very seriously, but as a state machine, they can still mobilize a lot of resources.
In a domestic environment where there are cameras everywhere, when they really get serious, their efficiency is absolutely amazing.
Listening to his report, Zhu Mingxu seemed to be thinking about something. He nodded and then waved his hand: "Xiao Fang, come with me to the river. As for the others, continue to guard the riverbank."
In the car that brought him, and in the van that Xiao Fang and the others were in, all their people added up, even if they were less than ten, there were at least seven or eight people.
With so many people coming down to the river in a group and looking so aggressive, it is easy for them to be mistaken for fishery law enforcement officers, and people would run away when they see them.
Zhu Mingxu let the others stay there and took Xiao Fang alone into the river in order to avoid causing some unnecessary misunderstandings.
"Okay, leader!" Xiao Fang nodded with a smile on his face.
Holding an unknown instrument the size of a palm in his hand, he lagged half a body length behind Zhu Mingxu and walked quickly towards the river along the dirt road extending from the river bank.
After coming down from the river bank, you still need to walk another two or three hundred meters before you can actually reach the river.
During the flood season every year, the area below would be basically completely submerged. However, now is the dry season. Except for this dirt road which is relatively flat and solid, the surrounding area is overgrown with weeds and green trees, and many graves can be seen from time to time.
When he reached the river, Zhu Mingxu slowed down his pace. He looked to the left and right. He saw many fishermen squatting by the river, but where exactly was Jiang Yao? He was still a little unsure.
"Boss, go to the left along the river bank."
"That Jiang Yao is still some distance away from where we are now!"
"I'll lead the way, just follow me!"
After fiddling with the instrument in his hand for a while, Xiao Fang suggested with a smile.
In the past, feature phones could be monitored unless the battery was removed. Today's smartphones are like a sieve, with no privacy at all.
Unless you don't use this thing at all, your identity information and consumption habits have been sold countless times without your knowledge.
Using Jiang Yao's cell phone as a medium and relying on the unknown instrument in his hand, Xiao Fang had already clearly located his current location.
As a subordinate, it must be taboo for him to walk in front of his leader Zhu Mingxu on weekdays.
But the situation nowadays is somewhat different.
Occasionally, there would be poisonous snakes in the weeds by the river. If there was a benefit, the leader could go first. If there was danger, naturally Xiao Fang, the subordinate, would have to go first.
He led the way, and Zhu Mingxu followed closely behind. They only walked for six or seven minutes: "Boss, the young man in front with bare chest and wearing a pair of big shorts is the Jiang Yao you mentioned."
Xiao Fang stopped and pointed at a guy sitting on a rock under a parasol about ten meters away, smoking, and he introduced him in a low voice.
"Well, I see it."
"Yes, he is the Jiang Yao I am looking for."
"Compared to the past, after so many years, he is still young and has not changed at all."
"Let's go, let's go straight over there. Remember, put away your old ways and don't speak without restraint in front of him."
Looking at the young face not far away that was exactly the same as the one in his memory, Zhu Mingxu had a complicated expression and let out a long sigh.
After giving a word of instruction to Xiao Fang beside him, he took a big step and walked straight forward.
"Refining the Organs Realm?" With Jiang Yao's sharp ears and eyes, he could naturally sense the arrival of Zhu Mingxu and Xiao Fang.
He was still seven or eight steps away when he turned his head and his eyes fell directly on Zhu Mingxu.
With a cigarette in his mouth, he just looked Zhu Mingxu up and down twice, and his expression had obviously become cautious.
After all, the soldiers and big bears who inherited the legacy from him are still only at the bone-strengthening stage after seventeen or eighteen years.
Jiang Yao, who had sealed up all his strength with the help of the Six Stars and Six Rens Blood Sealing Technique, could only exert this level of strength.
Of course, realm is just a realm, and sometimes it cannot be truly equated with actual combat power.
Although the man in front of him was in the Refining Organs realm, if a real fight broke out, it would not be difficult for Jiang Yao to defeat him.
"Mr. Jiang, it's me, Zhu Mingxu!"
"Back then, Mr. Zhu brought dozens of people to Taoyuan County to give you a look, and I was one of them."
"It was inside the Garden Hotel that you personally bestowed upon me the inheritance of Flying on the Grass. Do you remember?"
……
Zhu Mingxu walked a few steps in front of Jiang Yao, bowed respectfully, and introduced himself.
"It's you?"
"I remember it very clearly. At that time, you were a young man, only 28 years old."
"Compared to those days, you look a lot older. At first glance, I really didn't recognize you!"
Jiang Yao laughed and nodded.
As far as he could remember, only about two years had passed since he last saw Zhu Mingxu.
In such a short period of time, he naturally remembered this matter clearly.
With just a brief recollection, Zhu Mingxu in front of him had overlapped with the young man in his mind who had received the inheritance from him that day.
With the help of Cao Shangfei, a low-level martial arts technique that can only strengthen bones when practiced to its limit, Zhu Mingxu was able to enter the stage of refining internal organs. Thinking about his background, Jiang Yao also felt relieved.
After all, in the real world, although the various resources that can assist in martial arts practice are pitifully few, it is indeed possible to use the whole country's strength to gather the top talents from more than one billion people and allow Zhu Mingxu to break his limits and reach a higher level.
"Those who have strength will have power and status."
"With your current martial arts level, Mingxu, you should have already held a high position in the Federation!"
"You've only been back for less than a month. It's a rare opportunity for you to have some quiet time. You came to the river to fish. You have so many things to do but you came to my place. Is there something going on?"
The smile on his face faded a little, and Jiang Yao looked directly at Zhu Mingxu in front of him. He spoke again and questioned.
Given the current domestic environment, he actually knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had returned for long.
But he still felt a little unhappy that Zhu Mingxu came to him so quickly.
"It is true that powerful people occupy high positions, but it is not suitable for the national conditions here."
"In the system, you have to look at seniority and experience. It's not enough to just have the ability, you also have to understand the ways of the world." "When our Emergency Affairs Management Office was first established, my uncle was still in office, and our department was still highly valued by the higher-ups. But after the change of leadership, the authority that originally belonged to us began to be slowly divided, and our position became a bit awkward."
"In terms of martial arts, with the inheritance of Cao Shang Fei that you gave me, I have already entered the realm of refining internal organs and have some strength, but after all, I am not you, Mr. Jiang. I don't have the courage to break free, nor do I have the ability to flip the table directly."
"After all these years, I have ended up like this. I am ashamed of you, Mr. Jiang!"
With an extremely complicated expression, Zhu Mingxu sighed lightly and said with emotion.
"Is it useful to tell me this?" Jiang Yao smiled without commenting.
Domestically, there are too many unknown terrors. Even if he is invincible and can defeat a country, he still has to live a peaceful life in his hometown of Taoyuan County and has never thought of causing trouble.
Zhu Mingxu's complaints involved many high-level issues.
Being involved in that kind of affairs could easily lead to some unknown risks. When Jiang Yao had some free time, wouldn't it be nice to go fishing in the river? He didn't have the time to care about these trivial matters!
"I just wanted to express my feelings a few times. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Mr. Jiang!" Zhu Mingxu smiled, feeling a little embarrassed.
Then, he paused for a moment, and tentatively asked, "According to the information I received, during the time you came back, you stayed in this small county town of your hometown, and your life was very leisurely."
"With your abilities, it's a waste of time to spend on these boring things."
"I wonder if you have ever thought about serving your country?"
"Although there are not many members in our department, only about 20 or 30, they are all warriors, and all of them have received your grace!"
……
While speaking, Zhu Mingxu also pointed to the fishing rods standing by the river.
It seems that the boring things he was talking about must be the outdoor activity of fishing.
Before he could finish his words, he saw that Jiang Yao, who had just had a friendly expression, had already turned gloomy. Zhu Mingxu was startled and quickly changed his words, explaining, "Don't get me wrong, Mr. Jiang."
"I said that I wanted you to serve the country, not that I wanted to recruit you."
"The matters that our Emergency Affairs Management Office handles often involve some extraordinary factors. What we consider to be extremely difficult matters are definitely easy to solve for you, Mr. Jiang."
"If you feel bored staying in this small county town, you can just use these things to kill some free time."
……
It is true that Jiang Yao was extremely bored during the time he stayed in his hometown because he had no friends and nothing to do.
After hearing Zhu Mingxu's explanation, Jiang Yao's slightly gloomy face finally eased a little.
He tilted his head and thought for a while: "If there is really a matter involving supernatural factors, you can send me the information."
"If you really encounter something that interests you, I can help you deal with it. It's naturally not a big problem."
"That day, you said that you could handle the inheritance yourself, so I left two inheritances to Elder Zhu."
"There are 20 to 30 people in your Emergency Affairs Management Office, all of whom have received my kindness? Can two inheritances allow so many people to enter the door of martial arts?"
……
Jiang Yao frowned slightly, looking a little confused.
After looking at Zhu Mingxu in front of him for a few seconds, he turned his gaze and fell on Xiao Fang, who was standing next to him and was silent like a transparent person.
There were also signs of martial arts training on his body.
Especially his palms, which were not only covered with a thick layer of calluses, but if Jiang Yao looked carefully, he could even see a wisp of black air looming in the palms.
This kind of sign will only appear after one has truly mastered the Black Evil Palm and entered the Leather Training Stage.
"When we brought back the spiritual jade you gave us, Mr. Jiang, we didn't let anyone inherit it, but sent it directly to a research institute."
"The spiritual energy contained in the jade is enough to allow the Black Evil Palm contained in it to be passed down twice. After consuming most of the spiritual energy, the research institute concluded that the inheritance contained in the jade can be sensed by the human brain even though ordinary objects cannot carry it."
"After various experiments, using the brain of a voluntary donor as a medium..."
"In this way, nearly fifty people have obtained the incomplete inheritance of the Black Evil Palm, and finally successfully entered the door of martial arts."
"However, this kind of inheritors can only train their skin at best. If they want to step into the bone forging stage, they have no chance at all."
"Originally, the Black Evil Palm inheritance could have cultivated two more people, but in the end, it only cultivated a few dozen defective warriors. I don't know whether this is a loss or a gain."
……
Seeing the obvious confusion on Jiang Yao's face, Zhu Mingxu sighed and quickly started to explain.
Back then, when Bingzai and Dagouxiong had just entered the skin training stage, they were able to barely block pistol bullets. The main reason for this was that the Iron Body Skill they practiced was a horizontal training method that could maximize a person's defensive capabilities.
Those defective warriors who entered the skin training stage with the Black Evil Palm only had slightly stronger palms, and the other parts of their bodies could not block bullets at all. Any bandit holding a hot weapon could take their lives directly.
Of the dozens of people who received the incomplete inheritance back then, nearly half have been lost in various affairs over the years.
It is precisely for this reason that there are only so few staff in the current Emergency Management Office.
"So that's how it is. No wonder, you have already refined your internal organs, but this kid is still only in the initial stage of skin training!" Jiang Yao smiled and nodded.
With the above character, it is normal to send the jade containing martial arts heritage to a research institute for deciphering immediately after getting it.
He had already thought of this possibility at the beginning, and he didn't find it strange at all.
To be honest, he himself was a little curious about whether the martial arts heritage could be cracked in a scientific way.
Looking at Zhu Mingxu's expression, it didn't seem like he was fooling himself about this matter.
His explanation helped Jiang Yao clear up his confusion.
"Mr. Jiang, our Emergency Management Office is extremely short of manpower at the moment."
"If we can have more new warriors join our department and fill in the vacancies, we will definitely be much more important in the eyes of those big guys above us."
"I don't know if you have the spiritual jade that contains the inheritance of martial arts..."
While speaking, Zhu Mingxu watched Jiang Yao's expression and reaction out of the corner of his eye.
Although he hadn't finished speaking, the implication of his words was very clear.
With his brows slightly furrowed, Jiang Yao seemed to be lost in thought.
After a while, he spoke again: "If there is no inheritance, I can just give it to the person, is that ok?" (End of this chapter)
