The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

"Lisa, please sit next to Song Gua for now."

Today is a special case; all the students are at school, so there aren't any extra seats. Usually, many students practice outside, so you can just sit anywhere in the classroom.

"OK."

Song Gua glanced at Yuwen Hao's seat.

He thought to himself: Doesn't Yuwen Hao know that minor injuries shouldn't keep him from the front lines? It's just a broken leg, why is he resting at home?

The person who he suspected had been deceived twice was walking towards him.

Even though Song Gua knew she didn't know he was a bandit leader, he still felt inexplicably uneasy.

This is called having a guilty conscience.

However, on the surface, Song Gua remained calm and acted just like the other animals in the class, enthusiastically helping Hu Dilisha put on her schoolbag, looking as if he was completely captivated by her beauty.

"Song Gua, I've heard of you since I was in Baiyang City."

"Am I that famous?"

"2.0 growth is not much, and it has been reported in many news articles. After changing jobs, you broke so many records, so you appeared in the news even more often. You are really amazing. There are very few people in the entire history of job changes who can break records solo."

"Heh, empty fame, empty fame..."

"Huh? There are comic books here? I usually enjoy reading comics, let me see what series it is."

Hu Dilisha discovered a pile of comic books in Yuwen Hao's desk, and Song Gua glared at her and snatched them away.

"Well, the person sitting in this seat is extremely germaphobic and doesn't like others touching his things."

Hudi Lisa looked very apologetic.

"Then I'll sit in his seat..."

"It's okay, he said the tables and chairs belong to the government, it's fine."

"That's good."

This female student looks no different from an ordinary high school student. Is she really Miss Butterfly from the Avengers?

The Song hexagram is somewhat uncertain.

The voices are indeed very similar.

She just lacked Miss Butterfly's composure and shrewdness.

Song Gua changed the subject from comics, saying, "Hu, your name is quite unique. Is Woody a compound surname?"

"No, my mother's surname is Hu, and my father's surname is Di. I took my parents' surnames."

Upon hearing this, the clones began discussing it on the Song Gua regional network.

"There's even someone with the surname 'De'? Ultraman Tiga?"

"That father-in-law is really someone you can't afford to mess with."

"How could such a lovely, beautiful, and generous woman be Miss Butterfly from the Avengers? It must just be that they have the same voice."

"You lecherous glutton whose values ​​are dictated by physical appearance!"

Confucius said, "Food and sex are human nature! What's wrong with being attracted to beauty?"

"You fucking have the nerve to be so self-righteous!"

"What?! You want to fight me?!"

The clone started making noise in my head again.

Fortunately, Song Gua had developed an invulnerable mental state, so no matter how noisy he was, he could still maintain a normal appearance.

After attending a rather bland and uninteresting class.

All the students were gathered on the playground.

Several men dressed in typical black executive jackets appeared on the stage.

The principal stood to one side, bowing and scraping, his legs seemingly trembling slightly.

One of them picked up the microphone the principal handed him and said loudly:

"Dear students, I am Zhang Beihai, the chief of staff of the Strategic Administration Department of the China Administrative Region under the Federal Administration."

Hehe, I know you're not familiar with my official position.

It does not matter.

You can think of me simply as the head of all the strategists in one of the six major administrative regions of Earth.

I've come here today to find someone.

Despite our citywide announcement for over a month, he still refuses to show up.

There was no other way; we had to resort to administrative means to find him.

Song Gua frowned.

This is directed at myself.

That announcement was displayed daily at the bottom, side, and top of the television station.

In real life, people also distribute flyers and put up posters.

The announcement reads: All players who have cleared the Cloud Mountain Illusion are requested to report to the Municipal Bureau office.

Isn't it just myself?

Song Gua certainly wouldn't go.

Who knows if it's a scam?

Considering it's an official action, the possibility of it being a trap is probably low, but Song Gua doesn't want to deal too much with the authorities, lest it make his second identity inconvenient.

One of the students, who seemed to have a social anxiety disorder, loudly asked, "Are you looking for a criminal?"

Zhang Beihai laughed and said, "He shouldn't have broken the law; he's a Transcendent Being."

There was someone next to Zhang Beihai who wanted to say something.

Zhang Beihai gestured for him not to say anything more, smiled, and said, "It's alright, this can be discussed."

She Niu asked again, "What is a Transcendent Being? It sounds pretty cool!"

"A Transcendent is someone who has cleared the illusionary realm. You've probably all heard about it recently; the Cloud Mountain Illusionary Realm has disappeared because someone cleared it."

"Is this guy so great? Why are you looking for him?"

Those who pass through the illusionary realm will receive a special reward—a cleansing of the marrow and bones, a complete transformation, and longevity; hence, they are called those who have transcended the mortal realm.

It sounds mysterious, but in layman's terms, it means becoming more skilled and living longer than ordinary professionals.

In fact, no matter how high our professional level is, how good our equipment is, or how high our training level is, we have never escaped the realm of humanity.

Those who transcend mortality are the ones who truly embark on the path of life evolution; in a sense, they are no longer human, but rather higher-level life forms.

A gasp of surprise erupted across the playground.

The students whispered among themselves, discussing the matter animatedly.

"That powerful? It's not even human anymore!"

"Does it have three heads and six arms?"

"Eight heads?"

"Ten strings of cash?"

"No, you can actually complete the illusionary realm? I thought it was like an open-world game where you explored and found things based on your own luck!"

"Who knows? This is the first time I've ever heard of a way to clear an illusion."

The principal picked up another microphone and shouted across the playground, "Quiet! Let Chief of Staff Zhang finish explaining!"

Zhang Beihai continued.

"We are looking for the Transcendent One, not to capture him."

They hoped he could join the Federal Strategic Administration.

The Federation needs people like this to accomplish a more noble mission.

There are some things I cannot reveal, but I hope that if any of you are among those who have transcended mortality, you will step forward. Earth needs you.

Hearing Zhang Beihai say this, Song Gua was even less likely to step forward.

Isn't this just telling me to go and get a job?

They might even have to risk their lives.

Am I stupid?

"If you don't come out, we at least need to know who you are so we can continue negotiating with you. That's why we've prepared professional testing equipment that can identify those who have transcended the mortal realm."

Huh?!

Song Gua's lips twitched.

Utterly speechless!

However, it's not a big problem.

Switch places!

Song Gua swapped a clone of himself, who was of the same level, into the school, and then went to the bandit headquarters.

"Three sixes with a pair of threes."

"fry!"

"Screw you! We're all from the same family!"

"Aren't you a landlord???"

"Old man Ouyang is the real landlord!"

"Hahaha, once a move is made, there's no going back! You two can't take it back!"

The two clones guarding the warehouse were playing cards with Ouyang Dongsheng.

"You guys seem to be having a lot of fun."

Jiuwan turned his head and glanced at Song Gua, who was wearing a three-tube hood.

"Old thief? What brings you here?"

They can instantly distinguish between the original and the clone; they are born with this ability.

"Let's hide for a bit, then go back later."
