National destiny: Global tower climbing skills have decreased by 10,000 times.

Ye Fei followed You Zhendong and his group out of the waiting room, through the corridor, and stopped in front of a dark wooden door.

The butler-like man stepped forward, pushed open the door, and made way for the passage.

"Please come in."

This is the high-level conference room of the Zixia Club. Several people were already seated on both sides of the long table, seemingly having been waiting for a long time. Upon hearing the noise, they all looked up.

Ye Fei's gaze swept over and he saw a familiar figure among them—Da Kun.

He was dressed in a dark gray suit, reclining in an armchair, twirling a pen in his hand, and looked like he had been waiting for a while.

Upon seeing them enter, Da Kun immediately sat up:

"Mr. You, you've really struck gold."

His tone was unhurried, with a hint of teasing: "You've scooped up all the nation's best resources and brought them to work for your Zixia. You've really stretched your reach quite far."

You Zhendong's expression changed slightly, but he didn't reply. He and Da Kun usually had a good relationship, and he was just teasing him.

Next, Ye Fei was invited to sit in the chief seat, while You Zhendong sat in the deputy chief seat. There were also some other people present, all of whom seemed to be people of some status.

Among them was Zhou Mu, the intelligence agent from the Zixia Organization. He was the one who sent the invitations to Chu Liang and Ye Fei, and he was currently looking down at his computer.

You Zhendong cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over everyone present, and his tone suddenly became formal:

"Everyone's here. Let's have a quick meeting. I'll get straight to the point."

He waved his hand, and his assistant picked up a document and began to explain:

"Let's start with international developments. According to the latest information obtained by our overseas correspondents, the fourth-generation system of faulty robots in the United States is nearing completion."

"However, information from the outside world is tightly controlled, and there is currently no way to reveal the specific tactics or core strategies."

"It's not just the United States; Korea, Japan, Germany, and the United States have all developed other roles to varying degrees."

"Among them, the Hunter, the Crown Prince, and the Warrior, each role has a dedicated team researching them. As for how far the research has progressed, we have no way of knowing, but in short, the situation is very critical."

You Zhendong waved his hand to interrupt, his meaning already quite clear. He paused and then began to explain:

"Just a few days ago, the official document from the Dragon Kingdom was issued. This year, the country will completely lift restrictions on the development of other roles."

"At the same time, we will establish a special Dragon Kingdom Spire Esports Research Institute, which will solicit new gameplay strategies for various characters from the public."

"We won't go into that here."

He paused for a moment, his gaze falling on Ye Fei.

"Today we're going to talk about Mr. Ye, about your situation."

"The association has issued a special document, and the state will send people to protect you. You will be strictly protected in secret until the National Games arrive."

As he spoke, the assistant beside him produced an unopened document, bearing the same gold-embossed seal, which appeared highly confidential. This was the special document that the Dragon Kingdom Electricity Association Council had unanimously approved a few days prior.

"Regarding confidentiality, all members of our council will strictly abide by it, and all relevant personnel with knowledge of the matter have signed confidentiality agreements."

As he spoke, he pulled a piece of paper from the folder, on which were densely printed terms and conditions:

"Now that you are the highest-level protected unit in the Dragon Kingdom, you have the right to summon any member of the Electric Power Association at any time to cooperate with your work. Whether it's personnel or resources, it's all up to you."

"And if you have any requests, you can communicate directly with Chairman Shen Qianqiu by phone."

As he spoke, he gestured for his assistant to hand him a cell phone. This was a special summons phone containing the contact information for all the directors of the Dragon Kingdom Electric Association, and the call paths were encrypted.

"In addition, starting today, you will be protected by someone 24 hours a day." You Zhendong gestured towards the door to indicate this.

"Security and assistants are waiting outside. They'll be there for you the moment you call out."

"Your account will also be encrypted and protected by national technical personnel, and strictly managed by dedicated personnel, so there will be no public vulnerability risks."

He paused again at this point, and after a few seconds, Ye Fei spoke:

"What do I need to do?"

You Zhendong shook his head and continued to explain:

"Don't worry, you don't have to do anything. You are still free to move around and go wherever you want."

"only--"

He carefully considered his words.

"Now when you go out, you'll have someone accompany you, partly for your protection, and partly for..."

He glanced at Da Kun, who nodded slightly. "It's also to assist and supervise, to ensure that your identity information is not leaked again."

You Zhendong closed the folder.

"All board members and staff who are aware of the situation have signed strict confidentiality agreements, which are legally binding, and we will fully cooperate with the confidentiality efforts."

"From now on, Mr. Ye's identity information will no longer be disseminated until the National Games."

"From now on, Mr. Ye's identity information will no longer be disseminated until the National Games."

"That's about it, Mr. Ye. This is the resolution of our Dragon Country Electricity Association. We hope you can understand and thank you for your cooperation."

Ye Fei sat there, seemingly lost in thought, and did not reply.

Da Kun chimed in from the side, his tone very sincere:

"Mr. Ye, don't worry, you can still live a carefree life as always, except now you'll have someone protecting your safety."

……

Meanwhile, downstairs at the Zixia Club.

Chu Liang, carrying a backpack, had just stepped out of the elevator and hadn't even reached the door when he was startled by the scene outside.

The area in front of the exit on the first floor was already packed with people, some carrying cameras, some holding microphones, and some holding cell phones, forming a dense, dark mass outside.

Several security guards held hands and shouted loudly, barely managing to maintain order.

Every time someone came out, reporters would swarm around them:

"Did you see 'Sword Demon's' match?"

"I heard that just now, a genius contestant slapped the interviewer, the young master, in the face and exposed the bad practices of Zixia. Is that true?"

"Do you know Mr. Chu Liang? Could you please provide his contact information?"

Chu Liang sensed something was wrong. It seemed that what had just happened had been leaked. He subconsciously lowered the brim of his hat and took out a mask from his bag and put it on.

He turned and hid in the shadows of the stairwell, then slipped out through the back door.

A taxi was parked in the alley. He opened the door and jumped in.

"Driver, xx Street xx Road subway station, let's go."

The taxi merged into the traffic, and as the crowd receded into the distance, Chu Liangcai let out a long sigh of relief.

He took out his phone, and the screen lit up, only to find that he had received more than a dozen messages in the notification bar!

"Huh?" Chu Liang was slightly surprised.

He flipped through them and found they were all text message invitations from various esports clubs, some of which seemed quite famous; he even recognized some of them.

"Hello Mr. Chu Liang, I am the person in charge of 'Lejia Esports Club'. We greatly admire your performance during the trial. Could we schedule a time to discuss this further?"

"Hello Mr. 'Sword Demon'! I am the general manager of 'Heartbreaker Alliance'. We have witnessed your outstanding performance and would like to cordially invite you to join our team. Salary is negotiable!"

"Hello, this is the 'Cold Light Team Youth Training Camp,' we are very interested in you..."

Chu Liang flipped through the list one by one, his fingers trembling slightly. The conditions offered by these institutions were increasingly outrageous.

However, he also noticed a problem—had they mistaken someone for someone else?
