The undead have descended upon the world? I possess a sword that can cleave the heavens once more!

Wu You knew that there was nothing wrong with his line of thinking, but there were also quite a few problems with it.

Among them, the most direct and important problem is that the Bureau of Investigation is understaffed.

The deep dark domain contains various resources such as exotic plant resources, special mineral resources, and unique environmental resources. Wu You could think of these, and the decision-making level of the Investigation Bureau is not lacking in smart people, so naturally they could too.

To be more precise, the Bureau of Investigation has never stopped its exploration of the deepest shadows!

However, the problem remains the same: a shortage of manpower!

Even now, the Bureau of Investigation's development of the various deep underground domains is not very advanced, mainly due to a shortage of manpower.

There are only so many Torchbearers capable of descending into the deep Dark Realm to carry out missions. Just preventing those high-level zombie species from entering the shallow Dark Realm and the real world has already nearly exhausted the Investigation Bureau's manpower.

The experts in the Investigation Bureau are also stationed at the edge of each S-level restricted area to prevent some super-high-level zombie species from escaping and causing havoc in the deep dark domain, the shallow dark domain, and the real world. The Lords of the Underworld are even more like many people, not only having to send out many projections to guard each deep dark domain to prevent its range from expanding further, but also having to pay attention to various places at all times to ensure that they can take timely action and control the situation if any problems arise that cannot be handled.

Of course, Wu You knew that the Li Lords were probably doing something he was unaware of at the moment.

Even setting those aside, just from what he knew, it was clear how short-staffed the Investigation Bureau was!

Furthermore, it cannot be ignored that the casualty rate of the Torchbearers is not low, whether in the real world or in the deep dark realm!

This point further amplifies the Bureau of Investigation's manpower shortage problem many times over!

However, because the Investigation Bureau dealt forcefully with the two unofficial organizations that betrayed humanity, "New Leaf" and "Fireworks," in the previous "Operation Clean Furnace," and because of the extra squads set up during the operation, the wild ability users clearly saw the Investigation Bureau's attitude, which also attracted many wild ability users with ideas to join.

Therefore, the manpower shortage problem of the Investigation Bureau has been alleviated to some extent recently. Even in Lanhe City, there are many new faces that Wu You has never seen before, and they are not the kind of rookies who have just awakened.

At first he was a little confused, but after asking Ye Yi, he learned that they were all wild ability users who had joined during this period.

Of course, the easing of manpower issues here only refers to the easing of manpower issues in the real world.

After all, without the resources of the Investigation Bureau, wild ability users who can reach the fifth level are considered to have amazing talent, and those who want to go to the deep dark domain to carry out missions are basically at the sixth or seventh level!

Therefore, the problem of insufficient manpower in the deep dark domain remains significant.

Thinking of this, Wu You's eyebrows furrowed involuntarily: it would be extremely difficult to deeply develop the resources in the deep dark domain!

However, compared to developing the Corpse Realm, a world where true gods exist, developing the Deep Dark Domain is much less difficult. Moreover, Wu You has some ideas about the problem of insufficient manpower. The most feasible one is to accelerate the development of talisman swords, talisman treasures, and talisman sword formations!

If the reusable rune swords and rune treasures are successfully developed, then the Torchbearers will be able to actively adjust the output power of the rune swords and rune treasures regardless of the level of the corpse species they encounter. As long as the power limit of the rune sword is not exceeded, it can kill the enemy with one strike. At that time, the Torchbearers' combat efficiency will be greatly improved! One Torchbearer with a rune sword and rune treasure can be equivalent to several Torchbearers of the same level without rune swords and rune treasures!

If the Rune Sword Formation is successfully developed, then Torchbearers will be able to fight beyond their rank! Their combat power ceiling will be greatly increased! At that time, as long as they carry the Rune Sword Formation, low-rank Torchbearers can be used as mid-rank Torchbearers, and mid-rank Torchbearers can be used as high-rank Torchbearers! Furthermore, by combining the Rune Sword Formation with the rituals at the border of the S-rank restricted area, perhaps those powerful Torchbearers would no longer be needed to guard the S-rank restricted area's borders! This would free up a lot of manpower!

The Talisman Sword and Talisman Treasure, and the Talisman Sword Formation, can both enhance the Torchbearer's combat efficiency and increase their combat power ceiling, thus alleviating the Investigation Bureau's manpower shortage to some extent.

Thinking of this, Wu You couldn't help but urge his second clone to speed up the development as much as possible.

. . .

Just as Wu You was pondering, Wu Jing, who was being held back by Mei Buhui in the center of the crowd, could only turn her head helplessly, and her eyes began to become serious.

She knew that without some special methods, it would be difficult to "persuade" the other party.

She sighed and said, "Mei Buhui, some mistakes don't need to be made up for at all, while others you can't make up for even if you want to."

"I don't want to hit you or curse you, and I don't need you to do anything for me, let alone beat up anyone for me."

"besides--"

Wu Jing paused at this point.

The next moment, an incredibly powerful surge of qi and blood erupted from her body and rushed towards Mei Buhui.

The intensity of that energy was so great that it pushed outward from her body like an invisible wall, even causing the surrounding air to slightly distort for a moment along the path of that wave.

She lowered her voice slightly: "The Ming Jin realm is merely the beginning of martial arts; it cannot be considered 'very strong'!"

The "very strong" she mentioned was naturally a reference to Mei Buhui's earlier statement about "very strong".

Upon feeling the surge of qi and blood that was many times stronger than his own, Mei Buhui was completely stunned.

Her uncle was a martial arts master who had mastered the Transformation Realm. She had once sensed her uncle's aura and blood energy, which was a scorching and powerful fluctuation!

However, compared to the terrifying fluctuations she was feeling at this moment, her uncle's vital energy was nothing!

The sheer volume and depth of that energy gave her a dizzying feeling, as if she were standing on the edge of a cliff looking down.

Mei Buhui was stunned by the overwhelming and terrifying surge of qi and blood. Involuntarily, she released her grip on Wu Jing's arm. Her mouth gaped open, her eyes glazed over, and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence: "You...you...you are..."

Seeing her dazed expression, Wu Jing shook her head slightly and said, "If you really want to do something, shut up and go help the students who are registering at the school gate with their luggage." Then she turned and left.
