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

They saw the two people from the Special Affairs Bureau enter.

The middle-aged man from the Ultimate Sect snapped out of his daze and quickly stepped forward.

"What brings you two officers here?"

"Do you need our cooperation?"

The middle-aged man's face was plastered with a fawning smile.

He knew perfectly well that the Special Affairs Bureau, whose full name was the National Administration of Special Anomalies...

What kind of existence is it exactly?

This Special Bureau is in charge of everything from demonic possession to martial arts conflicts and all sorts of bizarre cases. If they want, there's nothing in the Great Xia Dynasty that they can't handle.

Local organizations must also cooperate with them unconditionally.

The Special Bureau has too much power and too much influence.

Therefore, countless martial artists want to join.

After all, once you join, you not only gain immense power but also receive various cultivation resources from the state.

However, getting into the Special Affairs Bureau is quite difficult...

Let alone a third-rate sect like Jiyi Sect, even among the famous ancient martial arts sects, only a few "old monsters" or exceptionally talented martial artists can join.

Of course, if you are an Awakened One and have awakened powerful extraordinary abilities, you might also be able to join.

But the awakening of supernatural powers is too elusive.

Therefore, most martial artists don't even have any hope of it.

Improving oneself is more reliable than awakening.

However, no matter how you look at it...

For an entity like the Special Bureau, martial artists from sects like the Ultimate Intent Sect can only look up in awe.

That's why, when the middle-aged man saw the two people wearing the Special Bureau badges on their chests enter, he was surprised and immediately went up to them to greet them in a fawning manner.

He was very uneasy at that moment.

He was worried that the Extreme Gate had offended the Special Bureau.

That's why they came knocking on our door.

At the same time, he hoped to curry favor with the Special Bureau.

"If I could curry favor with someone from the Special Affairs Bureau..."

"I don't expect them to do me any favors, I just hope they can occasionally leak some information about the direction things are going on above, or clues about rare and precious materials that are beneficial to martial arts cultivation..."

"That would be of immense benefit to me, Qian Ji."

Qian Ji became more and more excited as he thought about it, eagerly awaiting the response from the two people from the Special Affairs Bureau.

The young man with the ponytail only looked at He Li.

"We're here to see him!"

Hmm? What reason are you looking for?

Upon hearing this, Qian Ji looked at He Li with some surprise.

Then, unable to contain his anxiety, he asked, "Looking for him? I don't know if he's done something wrong or..."

Qian Ji was somewhat worried.

He was worried that the Special Bureau had something good for He Li.

He'll probably be in big trouble if that happens.

However, the ponytail youth's next words instantly put his mind at ease. The ponytail youth said with a half-smile, "He did indeed do something wrong!"

Hearing this, Qian Ji was overjoyed and relieved, but his gaze toward He Li was filled with malice.

"He really did commit the crime!"

"I noticed it just now."

"You two officers don't know, this kid was late for our assessment, not only..."

"I kindly tried to give him a chance to compete with others, and my intention was good. Who knew that this kid was so vicious and used his strength to try to kill people?"

"My poor nephew almost got beaten to death by him."

"It's not surprising that this kind of person does anything."

At this point, Qian Ji added with a fawning smile, "As citizens of the Great Xia, it is only natural for us to cooperate with the law enforcement."

"Please feel free to ask if you need anything."

"Although I, Qian Ji, am weak, I am still a martial artist and have a righteous heart. I will never back down in front of criminals!" He said with a burning gaze and a firm voice.

The young man with the ponytail looked on with a mocking expression.

He was about to say something.

The red-haired woman next to him shook her head: "That's enough!"

"He's already a bit slow, why are you teasing him?"

"Hehe~" the ponytail-wearing youth chuckled.

Qian Ji had a vague feeling that something was wrong when he heard this.

Before he could ask anything, the red-haired woman quickly approached He Li and said, "He Li, right? Hello, I'm Mu Lan, an investigator from the Ba City Special Bureau."

"He is Li Xu."

You probably already knew why we contacted you.

"Pupae?" He Li asked, regaining his senses.

Mu Lan nodded: "That's right."

"By eating live mole worm pupae and pushing massive boulders, you've successfully caught the attention of the bureau."

"That's why we've come to extend this invitation to you."

"Would you like to join our Special Affairs Bureau?"

After she finished speaking, Li Xu added with a grin, "If you come, I'll give you top-notch treatment: a monthly salary of one million, seven types of insurance and three types of funds, and you'll be provided with a house, a car, and girls."

"There are also renowned masters to guide your training, advanced martial arts techniques to choose from, and a vast supply of training resources..."

Hearing this, He Li beamed with joy.

He couldn't help but turn his head and look at Qian Ji with amusement.

The latter was already drenched in sweat.

"Damn it! Li Xu tricked me!!!"

He thought that He Li had committed a crime, a heinous offense.

Therefore, he was eager to express his stance and try to curry favor with the Special Bureau by getting closer to Mu Lan and Li Xun.

But in the end, you're telling me that what he did was a good thing, and that your Special Bureau is going to give him high-level treatment to recruit him? What about Qian Ji's performance just now?

clown???

Qian Ji's whole body turned red.

He was furious at being tricked, but faced with He Li, who was about to be recruited into the Special Affairs Bureau with high-level benefits...

His heart was filled with fear and panic.

He was afraid that He Li would retaliate against him if he entered the Special Bureau.

After all, the Special Bureau has connections everywhere.

Once He Li becomes an investigator for the Special Bureau, it will be easier for them to make him disappear than to eat or drink.

In his panic, yet still clinging to a sliver of hope, he couldn't help but look at Mu Lan, forcing a smile that was more like a grimace, and asked in a trembling voice, "You...you...you must have made a mistake?"

"He's just an amateur."

"Except for the fact that the strength is slightly greater..."

"He...he doesn't even have a foundation in ancient martial arts..."

Qian Ji hadn't finished speaking.

Mu Lan coldly shattered his illusions: "Great strength? If you're strong, then there's no mistake."

"He is an Awakened One!"

"His strength is initially estimated to be over tens of tons."

"Do you think ordinary people have this kind of power?"

An Awakened One? That's hopeless!

Qian Ji's face was ashen.

Not only did he fail to catch the overwhelming wealth, he turned it into a major crisis and even forced himself into a desperate situation... No one else can do that.

The teenagers around them, still in shock and trepidation, were speechless when they came to their senses...

"Wow~ He's an Awakened One?"

"No wonder Qian Zhi almost kicked him to pieces."

"Sigh! I almost, just a little bit more, and I could have become fellow disciples with the Awakened Ones from the Special Affairs Bureau."

"Who knew the Ultimate Sect would be so unreliable?"

"He's useless even when given a chance!"

"Exactly, a completely useless sect!"

"I'm leaving soon. Even the dogs don't come to the Yakuza!"

"Hey~ do you guys think it's too late for me to slide on my knees and become a leg accessory for the big boss?"

Upon first meeting the Special Bureau investigators, the excited, nervous, and somewhat displeased teenagers whispered among themselves, and their gazes toward He Li turned awe.

He Li was absolutely thrilled at that moment.

Seeing Qian Ji's utterly hopeless expression, he almost couldn't help but burst out laughing.

But just as he was secretly pleased...

Li Xu suddenly stepped forward and spoke with a grin.

"Hehe, doesn't it feel great?"

"I know this stuff all too well."

"Back in the day, I was also..." He was interrupted by Mu Lan before he could finish speaking: "Don't mention your past, let's get down to business... Would you like to join our Special Affairs Bureau?"

"Of course, you don't have to join."

"But you must ensure that you do not do anything that harms society."

"And a report must be submitted every month..."

"Add, add, add!" Before Mu Lan could finish speaking, He Li was already nodding like a chicken pecking at rice.

A million-dollar monthly salary, a house, a car, and a girlfriend provided.

There are also free cultivation resources available.

There are also all sorts of privileges...

Why wouldn't you take advantage of such a good opportunity?

On the other hand, if you don't join, you not only get no benefits, but you also have to report on time like a criminal...

How to choose? Need I say more?

"Since you've chosen to join, then come with us!" Mu Lan nodded slightly upon receiving the reply. "We'll take you to the headquarters of the Special Bureau in Ba City to register first."

"By the way, let me tell you about the Special Affairs Bureau..."

With that, Mu Lan lifted her leg and walked out.

He Li quickly caught up and couldn't help but ask, "What did you just say I was some kind of Awakened One?"

Are there many people like me?

"I guess so!" Mu Lan nodded.

"Supernatural awakening is called awakening. This type of being only started appearing three years ago, and in these three years, we have found that the probability of human awakening has been gradually increasing."

"In the future, there will be more and more awakened individuals!"

Hearing this, He Li asked suspiciously, "So, why did the Awakened suddenly appear?"

"What happened three years ago?"

"And those strange and wonderful creatures..."

"And where did they come from?"
