I will eventually become a god through sheer hard work.

"How about this?"

The mandrill next to him wore a strange expression, as if it wanted to say something but hesitated, yet still wanted to.

The captain was being far too lenient with him.

Are geniuses really that amazing?

Xue Jing: "..."

These conditions are far too lenient.

However, it didn't mean anything to him. He was about to refuse when he suddenly thought of something.

Xue Jing asked, "Does this [mechanism] contain any divine relics?"

Xu Ren paused slightly, then, recalling Xue Jing's status as a Class C containment officer, a hint of a smile flashed across his eyes.

"Yes, of course. One of the research departments within the organization is the 'Divine Relics Research Institute,' which houses many divine relics, including several from the top 100..."

"Are you interested in divine relics?" Voidblade asked.

Xue Jing rubbed his chin: "I am interested. To be honest, I am a huge fan of divine relics. My dream is to touch all the divine relics. Of course, just touching them is enough."

Xu Ren understood what he meant.

"Then, as long as you complete the tasks entrusted by Bai Ya in the future, I will report to the organization and reward you with the opportunity to access the divine relics within the organization."

Xue Jing extended his hand and said sincerely, "Deal. To be honest, I've been a fan of Baiya for ten years, and my dream is to become a member of Baiya... of course, as an unofficial member."

Xu Ren shook hands with him and smiled, "Deal."

……

After exchanging contact information with Xu Ren, Xue Jing called the Pei brothers back, and the three of them left the back mountain of the North District by car.

After they left, only the Void Blade and the Mountain Demon remained.

"Captain, is this necessary?"

The mandrill clasped his hands behind his head. "He's just a martial arts genius. He's rare, but not exactly unheard of, right? They're offering conditions like this just to keep him?"

Xu Ren shook his head. "You don't understand."

"This person... is more than just a martial arts genius."

She touched her forehead with the silver bracelet on her wrist.

Countless pixel-like squares of various colors suddenly appeared on her face, transforming her originally plain and scarred face into a rather beautiful one.

"I made some contact with that Miss Wu yesterday to test the waters, and the level of importance she attaches to Xue Jing is beyond my expectations."

The mandrill exclaimed in surprise, "Miss Wu? Is she the 'Born Gifted One'?"

Xu Ren nodded: "Yes."

"She has been searching for a way to shed her status as a gifted being... Only God can stand against God."

“Besides the divine relic, she actually cares about other things... Xue Jing must have something special about her that we haven’t found yet.”

Xu Ren smoothed his short hair, which had been ruffled by the wind, and looked in the direction Xue Jing had left.

"Even if you don't know what it is, you should still get your hands on it first, even if you know it's a good thing."

"White crows, such greedy creatures."

she whispered.

……

Sitting in the car, Xue Jing suddenly remembered something.

Earlier, when he was in a taxi, he looked out the window at the unfinished buildings in the southern part of the city and thought he saw a creature that looked like a cockroach.

Although it seems he misread it, it was just a black plastic bag...

However, just in case, he took out his phone and sent the message to Xu Ren via WeChat.

He quickly received a reply from the other party, who said they would go to that area to investigate. Xue Jing nodded and put away his phone.

Xue Jing did not visit the Pei brothers' home; instead, he had them take him directly home.

The Pei brothers tried to persuade him to stay, but seeing that Xue Jing didn't seem interested, they had no choice but to give up.

After getting out of the car outside his residential compound and saying goodbye to the two brothers, Xue Jing was about to go back to pet his cat when his phone suddenly vibrated.

He opened it and saw that it was a WeChat message from Wu Youqing.

Come find me at the library when you have time.

Xue Jing thought for a moment, and it seemed that there was nothing else going on for the time being.

Since the rich woman and the domineering CEO are summoning me, I might as well go. Maybe I can even touch some divine relics.

Chapter 78 Killer Move: Whirlwind and Thunder, School Sports Meet (4K, Requesting Monthly Tickets)

This phone is new; his old phone was completely damaged due to an electromagnetic pulse while he was at the Ruizhu Hotel.

He opened a current affairs news app.

The U19 regional qualifiers have concluded, and Li Chengxuan, the dark horse from Jinfeng Dojo, is dominating the Fengcheng division, boasting that he will take on ten opponents...

[Recent frequent boundary earthquakes in various regions suggest that new border areas may be emerging.]

[Six boundary earthquakes have occurred in the unfinished construction area of ​​Nancheng in three days, with the strongest reaching a magnitude of 5.6. This may trigger a weak overlap of earthquakes. Residents are advised to take precautions...]

"Unfinished project area..."

Upon seeing this news, Xue Jing was reminded of the cockroach shadow that he had seen from afar before, which seemed like an illusion.

"I wonder if Bai Ya will have any success."

Xue Jing shook his head.

The bus slowly came to a stop, Xue Jing got off, entered the campus, headed straight for the Qingda Library, and went to the seventh floor.

In the old attic, only the girl sat alone on the wooden chair, silently flipping through the book in her hands, like a bound spirit forever trapped in this place, unable to leave.

Her waist-length high ponytail swayed gently, her pretty face carrying an unchanging tranquility. Her graceful figure and upright posture created a serene and elegant scene in the old attic.

Upon seeing Xue Jing arrive, Wu Youqing glanced at him with her pale purple eyes, then pointed to the seat opposite her.

"You're here, please have a seat."

Xue Jing stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down.

Two cups of hot tea were placed on the wooden table. Xue Jing picked up the cup in front of him and took a small sip.

A strange sweetness...

"Boss, can we have something good to drink?"

Xue Jing shook his head.

Wu Youqing also picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"This tea was brewed with water from your favorite divine relic."

She chuckled softly.

"I choose Coke, thank you." Xue Jing stood up, went to the wall, opened the hidden compartment, and took out a can of Coke.

With a snap, I opened it and gulped it down, the stimulating sensation of the carbonated drink coursing through my body.

After he returned to his seat, Wu Youqing said:

"Bai Ya should have already contacted you by now."

Xue Jing paused slightly in the hand holding the cola.

He then nodded and said, "Yes, just now, they said they wanted to invite me to join White Raven, but I didn't agree."

Wu Youqing hummed in agreement.

“If it were any other unit within the organization, it would be fine… White Crow is not a good place to go, and you were right not to join.”

Xue Jing asked in confusion, "Why do you say that?"

Wu Youqing placed the teacup on the table.

Do you know the meaning of the words "white crow"?

Xue Jing shook his head.

"Crows are generally considered to be ominous creatures, birds of misfortune that bring death."

Wu Youqing spoke softly.

"The white crow, which is the exact opposite of the color of the raven, is regarded as a symbol of rebirth and a benevolent crow that brings good fortune. The name is imbued with beautiful wishes."

"The reason it was named that is because White Raven's work has an extremely high mortality rate..."

"They are responsible for investigating all unusual events related to the border area. They often enter dangerous border areas to carry out various missions. Even if a new border area appears, it is the White Raven who is responsible for going in to explore it first."

"Among those who join White Raven, those who can live safely for three years are considered elites, and almost none live for ten years. In the more than sixty years since White Raven was founded, the number of people who have lived safely to retirement can be counted on two hands."

Xue Jing's lips twitched: "That is indeed dangerous enough..."

It seems he'll have to think carefully if Bai Ya offers him work in the future...

We shouldn't agree to anything just because it's a reward for touching a divine relic.

The Twins' resurrection effect can only be activated once in a short period of time...

"By the way, BOSS, what exactly is the origin of this [mechanism]?"

Xue Jing inquired.

This organization, whose name was so long he couldn't remember it, was a subordinate department of even a seemingly impressive organization like White Crow.

So, just how large is the "organization" itself?

Wu Youqing thought for a moment and said, "It's good for you to know."
