Starting as an infant, with parents who are blond-haired delinquents?

During the remaining two hours of the flight, Zhang Chaoqiang browsed through some books on the history of human martial arts on an e-book.

Without exception, just like what they learned in martial arts schools, the history of martial arts is not very long. The earliest that can be traced back is only a thousand years ago, and when it comes to rescue, there is no way to investigate it.

It's somewhat similar to a periodicity, but Zhang Chaoqiang didn't delve into it further.

Because the plane has arrived at its destination.

"Wow, beautiful Zhongzhou City, we've finally arrived!"

As soon as they got off the plane, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei jumped up on the terminal platform and stretched out their arms to embrace the sky.

Embracing the same sun as Cheonan City, this place called Jungju City is the capital of the Central Kingdom.

The area around the airport is filled with snow lotus flowers that bloom only during the transition from winter to spring.

"This flower, called snow lotus, truly lives up to its name. Its color is as crystal clear as snow and as beautiful as a lotus."

It's rare for Zhang Huolong to utter such technically sophisticated praise.

Tan Yue was a little confused. She asked, "Zhang Chaoqiang's father, what is a snow lotus?"

"Oh right, snow lotus is a kind of popsicle, a transparent popsicle. I often bought it at the elementary school store. It cost 50 cents a bag."

Everyone: "..."

The five people and one dog who got off the plane headed towards the exit.

"What's the plan?"

After a long silence, Zhang Chaoqiang raised this question.

"what's the plan?"

Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei looked completely harmless, or to put it bluntly, they were just silly, staring at their son.

"Travel plans, like where to go for fun, etc..."

"Aren't we going to Disneyland?"

"So, Mom and Dad, are you planning to go to the same place for almost half a month?"

It turns out that neither of them had any intention of doing this, something Zhang Chaoqiang should have anticipated.

However, when he saw Shen Qiangwei and Zhang Huolong planning to spend the Spring Festival in Zhongzhou City, he actually had a slight expectation for the two of them.

However, in the end, they still couldn't break their established personas; they weren't very reliable.

Zhang Chaoqiang then looked at Lao Chen, who also shook his head: "We have no plans, we're just taking this trip on a whim."

"Look, even someone as strong as Old Chen doesn't have any plans!"

The next second, a black minivan stopped at the airport exit. The driver was the very car that Lao Chen had booked two weeks before his trip.

After getting out of the car, the driver first confirmed with Lao Chen, and then began to explain the travel plans:

"Mr. Chen, based on your travel requests, we will pick you up from the airport at 6 PM on February 10th, take you to Zhongzhou Di'anmen at 10 AM on the 11th, and then to the Bulgari Restaurant at 6 PM. We will also meet at the Farmers' Museum at 11 AM on the 12th..."

The hotel and all the attractions were arranged perfectly. After the driver confirmed that everything was in order, Old Chen said…

Zhang Chaoqiang gave Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei a wink.

The two then tugged at Old Chen's sleeve.

His face was expressionless, but it seemed as if his heart was screaming: Old Chen, didn't you just say that you didn't have any travel plans?

The group was just about to get into the car.

After a couple of rounds, two more cars arrived, but these two cars were no ordinary vehicles.

Instead, they are heavily armed vehicles used by the Central State government.

Driven by spiritual energy, it excels not only in speed but also in defensive capabilities and attack devices.

This immediately attracted the attention of the passengers on the same flight as Zhang Chaoqiang and Zhang Huolong.

On one of the heavily armed military vehicles, Zhang Chaoqiang spotted two familiar figures.

Before he could speak, the two figures, one fat and one thin, one tall and one short, took the initiative to greet Zhang Chaoqiang.

"Hey, Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang!"

"Brother Bai Lu, Brother Huang Feng."

Zhang Chaoqiang politely responded to them, and these two were none other than Bai Lu and Huang Feng, senior investigators from the Central Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation.

Having not seen each other for a while, Zhang Chaoqiang felt that the other person seemed to have become much more haggard.

"Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang!"

Following the example of Bai Lu and the others, another vehicle, different from the military armored vehicle driven by the Central Investigation Bureau, rolled down its window, and a man with a military appearance, wearing a neat uniform of the Extraordinary Administration Bureau, greeted Zhang Chaoqiang.

After a brief exchange, Zhang Chaoqiang learned that the other party was a group sent by the Central Extraordinary Administration Bureau to receive him and his party.

At the same time, before focusing their eyes on Zhang Chaoqiang, they quickly glanced over Old Chen.

Zhang Chaoqiang hadn't even had a chance to ask them why they knew so much about his movements...

The moment the people from the two organizations met, a competitive atmosphere erupted, with each frantically recruiting...

Bai Lu and Huang Feng got out of the car directly: "Get in our car, we'll take you to the Central Bureau of Alien Beast Investigation for a visit?"

On the other side, the administrator also got out of the car and tried to pull Zhang Chaoqiang directly: "Comrade Zhang Chaoqiang, I sincerely invite you to come and visit our Central Extraordinary Management Bureau!"

Both groups of people seem to be a little too enthusiastic.

Although Zhang Chaoqiang knew he had some influence, he never expected to be so popular.

During the struggle, Bai Lu, Huang Feng, and the administrator exchanged a glance...

My thoughts started to drift wildly backward, back to half a week ago.

Bai Lu and Huang Feng, who had gained nothing from their mission at Botenghai, received a new instruction as soon as they returned.

Not only him, but also the entire Central Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation and the Central Bureau of Extraordinary Abilities…

Everyone received this notification.

The publisher is the official Central State government.

"Zhang Chaoqiang will be traveling to Zhongzhou soon. At only 12 years old, he already possesses the strength to contend with second-tier demonic beasts."

He is a rare and exceptional talent. It is hoped that the Extraordinary Management Bureau and the Investigation Bureau can take advantage of Zhang Chaoqiang and his group's trip to try to recruit him.

If Zhang Chaoqiang is successfully recruited into the organization, the organization will receive exceptionally favorable financial resources in the next decade.

These rules apply only to the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau and the Alien Beast Investigation Bureau.

Good heavens, he was already scheming to recruit people when Zhang Chaoqiang was a child.

Chapter 157 Castle Hotel

The Local Extraordinary Management Bureau is already at the level of a civil servant in the martial arts world.

Those who successfully pass the exam based on their own rank and various abilities will basically enjoy a relatively comfortable life with government resource subsidies.

Compared to the civil service exam for ordinary people, the requirements for the Extraordinary Administration Bureau are probably even more stringent.

Although the ratio of martial artists to administrators in the Central Kingdom is 1:200.

In reality, the competition for a single civil service position is much fiercer than that between ordinary people who compete with dozens or even hundreds of others.

The administrators have to go through layers of screening, and this is something that takes into account a person's overall situation.

Of course, local administrative offices like those in Baicheng District are extremely chaotic; with connections, anything can be accomplished.

However, this is the highest-level Central Extraordinary Administration Bureau. Below the central level are four local levels: province, city, etc.

Every central administrator has to go through layers of selection and promotion at the local level before finally reaching the central-level management bureau, where they become an ordinary administrator...

He's probably around sixty or seventy years old. These past few decades have been spent progressing through various stages of his life. Of course, the person in front of Zhang Chaoqiang doesn't seem to be that age.

That's normal, though. Martial artists have long lifespans and strong physical functions, so their anti-aging ability is quite outstanding.

Zhang Chaoqiang turned his head and glanced at them. These were nothing like his parents, Zhang Huolong and Shen Qiangwei. They looked so young because they were carefree and didn't look their real age.

Next, let's look at the Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation. The Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation is under the central government and has no local branches.

Getting in is simple: just go through an interview.

Currently, the Bureau of Investigation has a conservative estimate of about one hundred employees, including several dozen investigators.

Over the millennia, the number of investigators has remained consistently in the dozens. One can imagine the rigorous interview and evaluation process required to qualify for this position…

Compared to the million martial artists in the Central Kingdom, only a few, around 100,000 to 200,000, know about alien beasts and the Central Alien Beast Investigation Bureau. These martial artists have generally reached a certain level of skill and knowledge, or have powerful backgrounds.

Basically, no one was unwilling to go to the Investigation Bureau, as it was equivalent to getting on the national front. In some aspects, the Investigation Bureau was a more rigorous and prestigious organization than the Extraordinary Administration Bureau.

The Administration Bureau can get in through connections and other means, but the Investigation Bureau is completely different; it only offers fair interviews.

The ratio is roughly 10000:1, one in ten thousand. This is the rigor of the Bureau of Investigation's selection process for investigators. Moreover, these ten thousand individuals are all exceptionally talented martial artists; otherwise, they wouldn't even receive an interview invitation from the Bureau of Investigation.

And so, two organizations that countless people would kill to get into began a competition to recruit 12-year-old Zhang Chaoqiang.

First, Zhang Chaoqiang is indeed capable and has immense potential.

Initially, because Zhang Chaoqiang was too young, the Investigation Bureau wanted to wait until he grew up to see his wishes. Anyway, after observing him, Bai Lu and Huang Feng found that he had outstanding abilities, and more importantly, he possessed a mechanism called "diffusion," although they weren't entirely clear about the function of this ability.

However, possessing such an ability is enough to demonstrate his importance in dealing with the monster incident.

Originally, the Extraordinary Administration Bureau did not intend to recruit Zhang Chaoqiang, because it was a government agency and the Central Administration Bureau had very few positions available. It was unknown how many "old friends' children," "connections," and "wealthy people" of the higher-ups had been queuing up for a long time.

When it comes to interests, those people are naturally the priority.

But it is precisely the second reason.

Second: If Zhang Chaoqiang is successfully recruited, the central government will increase the resource subsidies distributed to the unit.

After reviewing the subsidy lists, the amount of money alone reached trillions, not to mention a series of cutting-edge armors and high-level monster cores.

The Bureau of Exotic Beast Investigation is the same; after all, humans are also monsters who pursue profit and power, so they naturally want to take a bite of Zhang Chaoqiang's delicious cake.

For a moment, the airport exit was frozen in a peculiar scene.

Two heavily armored vehicles surrounded Zhang Chaoqiang and his family. The central administrator got out of the vehicle and waved to Zhang Chaoqiang with a fawning expression, inviting him to the management bureau. He thought that if Zhang Chaoqiang could be successfully brought back to the management bureau, then several hundred people would be able to persuade him to come in.

Brainwashing alone could turn this so-called genius into someone whose parents wouldn't even recognize him!
