Chapter 231 Selection, Information Sorting Department (Additional Update 2627)

"Chen Xin, has your uncle told you about the logistics department of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau?"

After coming out of Bai Hongtao's office, Wei Junrui, feeling better, started chatting with Chen Xin.

"No, my uncle only stayed with me for one night during the New Year. He left the next day before I had time to ask him."

Chen Xin answered truthfully.

Wang Xingping did not tell him, but Chen Xin had already known about the logistics department of the Public Opinion Survey Bureau through Zong Peng's memory.

"Well, I'll tell you about it then."

"The logistics departments of our Mubei City Investigation Bureau include the Archives Department, the Manual Task Scheduling Department, and the Information Sorting Department..."

Wei Junrui said a lot, but Chen Xin did not hear the word "research department" among them.

But then he began to understand a little bit, probably because the branch was not enough to support the research department's research.

The experimental equipment and materials that Chen Xin saw from Zong Peng’s memory alone might not be provided by a single department.

In this case, it would be better to concentrate all researchers from all over the country at the headquarters.

"That's basically it. Forget about the idle departments in the warehouse. They are there to provide retirement for the commissioners who have retired from the front line. They won't bring you any benefits."

"My suggestion is to choose the archives department, dispatch department, information sorting department, and other departments that are exposed to supernatural events. This will also be beneficial for you when you go to the front line in the future."

Wei Junrui said to Chen Xin after he finished his introduction.

Chen Xin nodded and fell into thought.

Before coming here, he was actually thinking about joining the research department. After all, he had a lot of knowledge left by Zong Peng in his head. Even if he couldn't reach Zong Peng's level by copying, his starting point would be higher than joining any other department.

Moreover, Chen Xin also wanted to join the research department to help the Public Opinion Survey Bureau to study the talisman.

Unfortunately, the branch does not have a research department.

After thinking about it, Chen Xin finally hesitated between the archives department and the information sorting department.

As the name suggests, the Archives Department records all the supernatural events since the establishment of the Mubei Citizens' Investigation Bureau, some of which have been solved and some of which have not. If Chen Xin could join the Archives Department, even if his knowledge of folk customs is meager, he would be able to find similar events among the large number of supernatural events and thus fabricate a talisman.

However, this fabricated talisman can only be used by Chen Xin himself and the underworld’s evil spirits. It will not be circulated, and the Public Opinion Research Bureau will not know about it.

It wouldn't be a big deal if there were more Yinchai in the future, but now there are only four Yinchai in the underworld, which is not helpful for obtaining Yinde points.

Chen Xin now has eleven talismans, which can basically deal with 90% of the situations, so the type of talismans is not Chen Xin’s most urgent need at the moment, but Yinde points are needed at all times.

Whether it is the improvement of physical exercises, the introduction of talismans, or the further improvement of house-guarding medicines!

The physical exercises are fine, as Chen Xin doesn't have many opportunities to put himself in danger. Plus, the fifth version of the physical exercises doesn't require many points of good karma, so there's no pressure.

However, the Yin De points required for the placement and improvement of the talisman cannot be saved at all.

When thinking about this, Chen Xin even thought of another problem that he had overlooked.

If the house-warding medicine can upgrade all the talismans to the underworld level, then the consumption of the talismans put in by Chen Xin will also be upgraded to the underworld level.

Through the house-soothing medicine, Chen Xin has figured out the Yin De points needed to release the underworld-level talisman, 500 points!
And for every hour it lasts, the consumption of Yin De will increase by 50 points!
Judging from the previous harvest from the blood disaster-level water ghost, if Chen Xin wants to deploy the underworld-level talisman, he will have to kill at least one blood disaster to make his money back.

It probably means "when a sword is unsheathed, blood will be drawn."

This is indeed a very serious problem.

There are three ways to solve this problem.

The first method is more conservative.

After you have accumulated enough Yin De points, you can upgrade them all. You will have money to spend as you please.

The second approach is conservative yet radical.

Classify the existing multiple talismans, and upgrade only one talisman in each category to the Yinsi level, while the rest continue to remain at the Yinshuai level.

For example, the three powerful weapons, Brother Chicken, Placenta (Yellow Infant), and Staff of Sorrow, only need to be upgraded to the underworld level, which is enough to deal with blood disaster-level ghosts.

In this way, if Chen Xin encounters a supernatural event below the blood disaster level, he will not be too restricted in placing the talisman.

The last method is more radical.

Upgrade all the talismans to the underworld level, and then take the talismans to play in the "high-end game".

With the Yin and Ming areas corresponding to the several "doors" in Chen Xin's hand as the center, he waded in all directions. This risk was not small. If he encountered a black area, it would be ok. With the Yinsi-level talisman in hand, even if he could not destroy the multiple blood disaster-level ghosts that appeared at the same time, he could still retreat unscathed.

If he encountered a bloody area and a group of blood disasters or a black abyss appeared, Chen Xin would go bankrupt.

Each 'resurrection' of the underworld-level talisman requires 2000 points of Yin De. If the entire army is wiped out at once, Chen Xin is afraid that he will not be able to gather enough Yin De points to revive the talisman!

This is equivalent to playing a game. When you fight a BOSS, the durability of your equipment is gone. You want to repair it but have no money, so you can only go back to fight monsters again to save money to repair your equipment.

Therefore, for Chen Xin now, the number of talismans is no longer the key factor that limits his strength improvement.

The acquisition of Yin De Points is the key, so...

"If you haven't made up your mind yet, then go back and think about it. There's no rush. You can report back tomorrow."

Wei Junrui saw that Chen Xin had been thinking for a long time without any response, so he spoke directly.

Chen Xin looked up.

"I've thought about it, let's sort out the information."

"confirmed?"

Wei Junrui asked.

"Yes, confirmed!"

"Okay then, let's go to the Information Sorting Department. Being an information sorter is quite interesting."

I don’t know what Wei Junrui was thinking about, but a smile appeared on his face.

"By the way, do you want to live in the staff dormitory of the bureau or rent a house outside? If you rent a house, the bureau will reimburse you, but it is more convenient to live in the bureau."

"Rent it yourself."

Chen Xin thought about it and decided that it would be better for him to keep all these talismans outside.

Otherwise, if you don't pay attention and someone from the Yin sect comes to visit you that day, you might get killed by him.

"So do you have anything else to do today? If not, report directly. In the second half of today, you will first familiarize yourself with the work of an information organizer. If you have any questions, you can ask your colleagues. They will also give you the cold shoulder. Tell me, I am familiar with the director of the information organization department! Come to think of it, I was an information organizer for a while back then."

"Okay, thank you, Teacher Wei."

"You can call me Brother Wei or Old Wei. No need to call me teacher."

"Brother Wei!"

"Haha, let's go."

Soon, Chen Xin was led to a big door on the third floor of the Mubei Citizen Investigation Bureau.

Wei Junrui didn't knock on the door, he just pushed it open and walked in.

As soon as he entered, Chen Xin saw a wide open space in front of him.

What appeared before him was a windowless, brightly lit hall, similar to the one in police and gangster movies where a bunch of police officers were using computers to track criminals.

There seemed to be about 100 to 200 people in the hall. Although it was messy, it was not noisy.

There is a large screen at the innermost part of the hall, which displays pieces of information that look like rankings or something.

Everyone in the hall has his or her own desk with three computer monitors arranged horizontally on the table.

Although the people working in the hall were busy at this time, there was no sign of fatigue from overtime on their faces. From time to time, you could see someone drinking tea and chatting with the person next to them.

This atmosphere gave Chen Xin a good first impression.

Following Wei Junrui, Chen Xin was brought to a special-looking desk under the large display screen at the back.

"Xiao He, I've brought you a new person!"

A frail young man wearing glasses poked his head out from behind the computer monitor.
