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

The Federal Administration requested that the bandits appoint a person in charge.

But as stated in the public decision, as long as the bandits' actions have nothing to do with the official organization, whether it's robbing bosses, clashing with guilds, or ransacking capitalists' homes, the Federal Administration will not interfere.

Whether local governments intervene or not, the Federal Administration will not interfere; the local governments will decide for themselves.

Previously, Song Gua felt that the federal government was somewhat inactive in dealing with local chaos.

Now that we know there are celestial beings outside and infiltrating dark stars inside, we must fight them while concealing these crises from the public.

It's normal that they can't manage it all; it's certainly caused a lot of trouble.

So after Ouyang Dongsheng was pushed out, Old Deng's daily work consisted of very routine tasks with little substance.

Song Gua never told Ouyang Dongsheng about the bandits' actions.

And indeed, for a period of time afterward, the bandits did not do anything involving the government.

This led to an increase in the Federation's trust in Ouyang Dongsheng.

Exposing the aberrant beast is a temporary reprieve.

Regarding the goals to be achieved this summer, Song Gua set two main directions for his clones.

For those who haven't undergone a second job advancement, the only thing to do is level up! Level up! Level up!

If you're not tired of experience, keep grinding for experience; if you are, go grind in the restricted area.

Summer vacation is over and I can't do a second job advancement, so I'll turn left as I leave and report to the cannon fodder group.

To speed up the upgrade, the old clones urged Blood Brother to collect more experience points every day.

This caused Blood Brother to stop even running dungeons, spending all his time whipping people and becoming increasingly thin from the pressure.

Secondly, those who have already completed their second phase of development are expanding their focus and activities to seven cities in the Jiangnan urban cluster, including Yatuo City, Xinggang City, and Jiangnan City.

The resources of Yunshan City have been completely controlled by bandits.

However, the number of bandits increased daily.

Once the illusion is cleared, the population will surge once more.

Therefore, the demand for resources will only increase.

As the level increases, higher requirements will be placed on the quality and grade of resources.

The bandits must expand their territory to new and higher levels.

Because of what had happened before, the bandits had gained a certain following among the people in the urban areas of Jiangnan.

Naturally, the Jiangnan urban cluster became the obvious choice for the second power's territory.

The bandits have begun to participate in the competition for mining resources, wild bosses, and challenge dungeons within this urban area, among other conventional gameplay activities.

In this process, conflicts with local guilds and families are bound to arise.

The two sides have also clashed, resulting in casualties on both sides.

These powerful forces don't care whether you have prestige among the people; where there is competition, there will be conflict—it's only natural.

In the world of professionals, there's nothing to say about this, and the public is used to it.

The Jiangnan urban cluster is like a second Yunshan City.

The bandits will gradually dismantle the local forces' control over resources and eventually take control of them themselves.

However, this is a city cluster, consisting of six second-tier cities and one first-tier city.

There is still a long way to go before we can achieve what Yunshan City has.

There is ample time.

Fighting with others is endlessly enjoyable.

Song Gua is very patient.

Not long after the martial arts exam was re-competed, the scores and rankings were released.

Song Gua and his clones were huddled in the bandit headquarters filling out college applications.

"Our rankings are all very high, and we all listed Zhenhua University as our first choice!"

Edison Chen asked, standing on tiptoe with a blade of grass between his teeth.

What about your second choice?

"No! No reassignment! We're in the top 100 in the entire district, how can we not get in? Is there any justice?"

"What about your third choice?"

Song Gua flew over and kicked him.

"Drain the water from your brain!"

Yanzu's phone suddenly rang.

"It's Wang Miao."

Song Gua took him in and sent him over.

At noon, Wang Miao treated Yanzu to a meal.

Also having dinner with Wang Miao was Xiao Chen, the investigator from his team when Wang Miao was the team leader in Yunshan City.

At the dinner table, Wang Miao, unlike his usual cold demeanor, spoke to Yan Zu in a very approachable manner.

"Xiao Kun, have you filled out your college application?"

Cai Kun is the name of Yan Zu's fake identity.

"Not yet, I just got the rankings today and I'm going to fill them out."

"There are quite a few top professional universities in our China region, distributed in three first-tier cities. However, the best professional university has to be Zhenhua University in Beijing."

"Yes, that's what the students all say."

"I have received the official transfer order and will soon be going to the Special Bureau in Shangjing City to take up the post of team leader. The Special Bureau in Shangjing City is the headquarters of the Huaxia Administrative Region. For the same position, the rank is more than two levels higher than that of the local branch bureau."

"Congratulations, Coach! You've been promoted!"

In the youth training camp, Wang Miao was the coach of Yan Zu and other high school students, so the title stuck.

Wang Miao smiled and waved his hand.

"Whether I get promoted or not is not what I care about. The General Administration's mission will be closer to the front line of the fight against Dark Star. It will be more dangerous, but it also means that I can achieve more practical results."

"Coach, you seem to have a deep hatred for the Dark Star forces."

"I didn't tell you, but Xiao Chen understands..."

Taking advantage of a slight buzz from the alcohol, Wang Miao told Yan Zu a somewhat clichéd story.

An ordinary public servant with a happy and fulfilling family.

One day, a mutant beast appeared, his wife was murdered, and he was left alone to raise the child.

From then on, Wang Miao became extremely concerned about the mutant beasts, the dark star, and everything related to them, and he would resolutely investigate them to the end whenever he encountered them.

After hearing Wang Miao's story, Yanzu toasted him.

Wang Miao waved his hand.

"That's all in the past. What I want to tell you today is that I have the authority to arrange two spots for you to directly enter the formal investigation team. I've already given one to Xiao Chen, and I want to save the other one for you, if you can go to university in Beijing."

Yanzu was greatly alarmed.

"That won't do. I haven't even gone to university yet. I still have three years until graduation. If you leave it to me now, it will disrupt the normal work rhythm of your group."

"Don't worry, you can do an internship after you enroll. This is a privilege for students in your youth training camp. You can come directly to my group for your internship."

"Is this appropriate? I haven't even completed my second job advancement yet."

"I see you're level 28 already, almost ready for your second job advancement, right? Once we get to the capital, Chief Wan will arrange for someone to take me to farm creatures in the forbidden zones to speed up my leveling. You can come and get some experience too. You're an S-rank class, and after your second job advancement you'll be S+ in strength, enough to participate in some ordinary missions."

Yanzu raised his glass.

"Okay, I'll go fill out my application for Zhenhua University now. Please take care of me in the future!"

In the Song Gua regional network.

A group of clones are watching the show.

Upon hearing this, many of the clones burst into laughter.

"Wang Miao completely trusts Yanzu."

"He believed it! He believed it!"

"Yanzu is so funny!"

"Poor Wang Sanshui, he was born to attract the holy body of undercover agents."

"The god of ancient Greece who controlled internal evils."

"Being undercover is so interesting! I want to be an undercover agent too! Brother Huo, quickly burn my face, I need to get plastic surgery!"
