Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

"Let's leave aside martial artists who have gone mad from practicing martial arts."

"Awakened beings will not be punished for betraying Earth?"

"The reason we have awakened is..."

"Isn't it said to be influenced by Earth?"

"Blue Star is alive, so why can't the planet directly deal with those awakened extremists? After all, their existence poses a threat to the planet itself, doesn't it?"

He Li raised a question about Mu Lan's words.

Mu Lan smiled upon hearing this.

How do you know they won't be punished?

She countered with a question, then added, "Although the planetary will won't directly kill those guys."

"But punishment will indeed be imposed."

"The punishment is determined by the negative impact of the other party's actions on the planet. A weak punishment will affect their luck, bringing daily misfortune and making it difficult to have any smooth sailing days..."

"Severe punishment will make you wish you were dead."

At this point, Mu Lan shook her head again.

"There are capable people among those criminals."

"We can confirm that the planet's punishment mechanism depends on the negative impact humans have on the planet..."

"Those criminals will do the same."

"Therefore, they will try their best to avoid direct negative damage to the planet while committing evil deeds, thereby reducing or even avoiding punishment from the planet's will..."

Hmm? He Li frowned as he listened to this.

The more Mu Lan spoke of the Blue Star Will, the more it sounded to him like the Heavenly Dao in cultivation novels.

Heaven will punish evil cultivators.

Furthermore, their methods also have mechanisms that influence their fortune.

At the same time, Heaven will also reward righteous cultivators...

Wait a minute...

He Li suddenly looked up at Mu Lan: "Since the will of Blue Star will punish those who do evil."

"Then what if we help the planet?"

Will I receive a reward?

His eyes were fixed intently on the scene, filled with anticipation.

Mu Lan's smile widened: "You're very smart."

"There are indeed rewards. We receive rewards just for dealing with those extradimensional creatures, but most of the rewards are from suddenly finding rare and precious materials or something."

"If you want a better reward, you'll probably have to fight against otherworldly creatures when another dimension descends."

"Or, launch a counterattack against the other world!"

Wow, there really is a reward?

Now he's even more motivated to eat monsters.

He thought to himself with great joy.

Mu Lan continued, "Speaking of which, the deputy director originally planned to wait until you officially began your mission..."

"Let's test your abilities again and see if you can gain more power. I'll also give you a monster corpse so you can try eating it to see if it works."

"I didn't expect you to encounter something so strange..."

Hearing this, He Li shook his head.

"Recently deceased corpses will work, but I doubt I can gain any ability from corpses that have been dead for too long..."

He Li responded.

The message in my mind was already there when I first became aware of it.

His ability requires him to eat live monsters.

It should be fine to kill a monster while it's still hot after it dies, but it's definitely not okay if it's been dead for too long. Besides, when a monster dies, its spiritual energy dissipates, and the spiritual energy within it will also dissipate if it has been dead for too long.

Eating it would bring him no benefit whatsoever.

"Is that so?" Mu Lan nodded upon hearing this.

"Okay, I'll report this to them."

"But this is actually a good thing. The deputy director also intends to let you experience more combat."

"If they feed you large quantities of corpses directly."

"Forcing growth by pulling up seedlings, having too many abilities but not being able to fully utilize their combat power is not necessarily a good thing, but if you only eat live ones, the game can provide you with strange information."

"If you take the initiative to solve the problem and eat the food yourself, you will definitely benefit more than if you eat something ready-made."

She waved her hand as she finished speaking.

"Let's go, get in the car."

"I don't think you need to wait two days for the task."

"You can now begin your new task."

"Let's go to the station and find two teammates. We'll also ask them to assign you a house and a car. You can just enter your requirements into your watch later."

"As a person with top-tier treatment, everything assigned to you will be done according to your request."

Mu Lan was quite envious when she heard this.

It should be noted that these investigators are not provided with all the necessary supplies as requested by their superiors.

Requirements for a typical investigator...

The above is what's left over, that's what you get.

If the given materials don't meet the requirements, the investigators have no choice but to adapt to them. On the other hand, He Li's superiors have to find a way to proactively meet his needs...

"What's this called?"

"The weak adapt to their environment..."

"And the strong, are they adapted to the environment?"

She pondered for a moment, then nodded briefly to Zhao Hu and drove away after seeing He Li and Li Xu get into the car; the foot and wind department was handling the situation, so Mu Lan and the others didn't need to worry about it.

However, upon returning to the Special Affairs Bureau...

Something unexpected happened to He Li.

At the entrance of the Special Affairs Bureau, apart from Yu Ji, who was waiting for him after receiving the news...

Liu Mengyao actually came too.

He Li frowned when he saw her.

Li Xu patted him on the shoulder and said with a grin, "You seem to have quite a bit of luck with women, tsk tsk~" Hearing this, He Li shook his head speechlessly, got out of the car and went forward.

"Why is she here? Did you tell her?"

He Li frowned as he approached Yu Ji.

The latter quickly shook his head: "I didn't..."

"She didn't tell me!" Before Yu Ji could finish speaking, Liu Mengyao stepped forward with a smile and interrupted Yu Ji, saying, "I asked her for your contact information before, but she wouldn't give it to me."

"Hmph, she's very cunning."

"She just doesn't want us to make up."

"But luckily I'm smart. I knew she was waiting for you when I saw her waiting at the door."

"So I came by myself."

"Otherwise, we'll miss out again."

Liu Mengyao was quite proud of herself when she said this.

She had previously asked Yu Ji for He Li's contact information, but when she couldn't get it, she went to ask other people for it, only to find that no one in the department knew He Li's contact information.

She tried to use her permissions to check, but the message "No permission to view" popped up.

Liu Mengyao had no choice.

He then thought of keeping an eye on Yu Ji, waiting for her to interact with He Li again so he could step in and reconcile with He Li.

"Hmph~ I am just incredibly clever."

She thought to herself with delight.

I also look forward to teaming up with He Li.

Who knew that He Li would hear her words...

But his brow relaxed: "Oh, then it's alright."

"Let's go, while we still have time today, I'll get a new task for you to do with me later."

After saying something to Yu Ji, He Li turned and left.

Liu Mengyao was stunned by what she saw.

Why was I ignored?

Seeing that He Li was about to leave, she quickly ran in front of him and stopped him, saying aggrievedly, "Don't go! I came here specifically to make up with you and team up with you."

How could you leave me like this?

He Li sneered upon hearing this: "So what if I leave you behind?"

"You dare team up with me? You're not worthy!"

"I..." Liu Mengyao felt even more aggrieved.

"If I'm not good enough, then does she?"

She pointed at Yu Ji, her voice trembling with tears, and said, "She's just a mere mortal-level investigator, not that impressive! And... and you at least pursued me back in school..."

"But you refused, didn't you?"

He Li pursed his lips and asked back.

Liu Mengyao hurriedly said, "Although I refused at the time, don't I regret it now?"

Upon hearing this, He Li sneered.

"What does your regret have to do with me?"

"Who says I have to accept it just because you regret it?"

"Besides, you don't really regret it."

"You just know that you missed the chance to curry favor with the powerful because you looked down on people."

After he finished speaking, Liu Mengyao looked flustered.

Her lie was exposed by He Li.

This left her somewhat at a loss.

But what embarrassed, ashamed, and annoyed her even more was...

Because she was located at the building entrance, the investigators coming and going had been drawn to the scene, and they were mercilessly mocking her as they witnessed the whole thing.

Those sounds were so jarring...

"No, who is that woman?"

"Where does he get the nerve to sidle up to He Li? And even question why he chose that little girl?"

"The strong, of course, can choose whomever they want!"

"It's Liu Mengyao, a mortal-level investigator."

"I heard it's He Li."

"According to previous rumors, she was the one who rejected a huge opportunity and didn't introduce He Li to our bureau."

"So it was her? How ridiculous. She severed the last vestiges of her friendship with Ren Heli, and now she regrets it? Does she really think everyone has to give way to her just because she's pretty?"

"Exactly, no one can resist this kind of logic."

"Tsk~ She's clearly quite pretty..."

"How come he has a pig's brain?"

……

The surrounding ridicule stabbed Liu Mengyao like knives, filling her with pain and turning her face pale. She had no face to stay any longer and could only lower her head and flee in a sorry state like a dog.
