No strange things are allowed to evolve!

Manager Bai is almost forty, while Consultant Liu is only in her thirties.

That's definitely very valuable.

However... even if he is a specially appointed consultant, his status in the executive department couldn't possibly be higher than that of the department head, right? In any case, he should be roughly equivalent to Director Bai's status, so why is Shen Mo's attitude so different?

Just as Jiang Shu was wondering, Shen Mo continued mysteriously, "Advisor Liu's teacher is the famous Wuzheng Old Man."

The peaceful old man...

Jiang Shu had heard of this name before.

Yesterday at Yunfu Temple, Xue Wang wanted to comfort Jiang Shu and tell him that even those with the Love and Desire Spirit Root were not without a way out, and that there were still top-level experts among them. He cited the example of this Wuzheng Old Man.

“It’s normal that you haven’t heard of him.” Seeing that Jiang Shu seemed confused, Shen Mo didn’t seem to intend to explain too much. He simply said, “All you need to know now is that he is a figure comparable to our director, one of the top evolutionists, and the consultant Liu in front of you is one of his most outstanding disciples.”

After listening to Shen Mo's description, Jiang Shu gained a deeper understanding of the unassuming old man—

A top-tier figure, though seemingly uninvolved in the conflicts between powerful organizations, has disciples who hold high positions within these organizations... Isn't this just a university warlord?

"The teacher has always been very low-key, it's not as exaggerated as you say." Consultant Liu shook her head helplessly, seemingly unable to stand Shen Mo's personality.

But Jiang Shu could tell that she wasn't unhappy; at most, she was just a little reserved and modest.

It really is a case of people lifting each other up.

Looking at Shen Mo, Jiang Shu realized that this guy wasn't really being unreasonable; he just rarely encountered anyone who could make him be reasonable.

Just as she was thinking this, Shen Mo smiled and asked with concern, "Speaking of which, what are you doing here? How is your teacher doing lately?"

"Cough cough."

Just then, a soft cough was heard.

"Consultant Liu came to see me; he has something to discuss with me."

Hearing the noise, Shen Mo looked at the minister behind the desk, who had been silent until now, and was taken aback:

"Oh, Minister, you're here too?"

"..." The minister took a deep breath: "Didn't you say you had something important to report?"

"Oh! Look at my brain," Shen Mo said embarrassedly. "I was so happy to see Consultant Liu that I almost forgot."

As he spoke, he pulled Jiang Shu in front of the minister.

"It's this kid; he's made a major discovery."

The minister looked at Jiang Shu with curiosity.

Whether it was because of Shen Mo that he developed a fondness for Jiang Shu, or because of the Snow King's mother in the morning, the minister, though he didn't understand Jiang Shu and couldn't say he approved of him, didn't act like a minister in front of him, but simply acted like a kind elder.

"What important matter do you have to report?"

Jiang Shu glanced at Consultant Liu.

The minister couldn't help but laugh and said, "It's alright, Advisor Liu is family, so you can say whatever you want."

“Okay.” Jiang Shu nodded, then gave Consultant Liu an apologetic look: “I’m sorry, but this matter is really important.”

Seeing Jiang Shu's serious demeanor, the minister didn't actually take it too seriously.

What significant discoveries could a newcomer who has only joined for a day and is only level three possibly make?

However, he did not dampen Jiang Shu's enthusiasm because of this.

After all, he had been through this stage himself and knew that each stage had its own limitations.

Just like a primary school student might cry because he didn't get a perfect score on a test, and even feel that life has become dark, but once he goes to college, even passing a test will be something he can be proud of.

Many things that seem like huge events at the time are actually just trivial matters once you grow up, and may not even make a ripple or leave a lasting memory in your entire life.

Therefore, he decided to save face for Jiang Shu.

He thought to himself that no matter what the other person said, he should try his best to encourage them.

"I've discovered that there might be rebels within our Bureau of Dissent."

"Hmm, well done." The minister nodded. "So you discovered it..."

But halfway through his sentence, the minister suddenly snapped out of his reverie and abruptly stood up: "You said you discovered something?!"

He suspected that he had heard wrongly.

So Jiang Shu repeated it again.

The minister was stunned.

How could you talk about such a serious matter so calmly?!

When Consultant Liu heard about this, he was taken aback, and then seemed to be thinking about it.

Realizing he had lost his composure, the minister sat down again and composed himself: "What is your basis for this?"

Then, Jiang Shu recounted in detail everything that had happened that day.

Of course, it's his derivative version.

"I'm sure they have a certain understanding of our plans, even down to knowing that this mission will bypass the Execution Department and directly notify the Special Agents, knowing what level of Evolvers we will send, and even being able to estimate the time it will take for us to react."

Jiang Shu said seriously, "If the team leader hadn't appeared and I hadn't been taken away, we wouldn't have even discovered the existence of the rebels, let alone their true purpose or the fact that there was a mole within them."

The minister's expression shifted between anger and uncertainty after hearing this.

Consultant Liu looked at Jiang Shu with a strange expression: "Although the rebels are all a bunch of lunatics, the woman you mentioned was willing to take the risk of letting you hear these things. It's not just that she is extremely confident in her own strength and determined to take you away. It seems that she really intends to cultivate you into one of their true members, rather than just using you as a tool like that rat man. Why is that?"

"He previously led the charge in conquering a catastrophic hatchery, and one of his teammates was that woman's brother, who indirectly saved him. Perhaps that was one of the considerations."

Shen Mo explained on Jiang Shu's behalf: "Besides, that woman is indeed very strong. I may not be able to defeat her, so it's normal for her to have such confidence."

"I see." Consultant Liu nodded, but wasn't too surprised. He just looked at Jiang Shu more seriously and understood why Shen Mo valued him.

"In short," the minister finally spoke, "you can keep it a secret for now, just pretend you don't know anything about it, and you don't need to get involved. Just live your normal life. I will start investigating. Based on the information you provided, I can roughly pinpoint a general area, and I believe it won't be too difficult."

After saying that, the minister nodded sincerely to Jiang Shu: "Well done."

"It's all thanks to the effective leadership of the minister and the team leader," Jiang Shu replied formally.

Just then, Advisor Liu seemed to suddenly remember something.

He asked the minister, "Do you think the sudden restlessness of the rebels is because of that incident? Could it be that they also want to get involved?"

"They're willing to take such a risk, there must be something that will bring them huge rewards."

The minister thought for a moment and said, "So, it's not impossible."

Seeing that the two agreed with his assessment and mentioned specific events, Shen Mo immediately became curious: "What happened?"

"That's why I've come to see the minister."

Consultant Liu explained to Shen Mo:

"My teacher suddenly sensed a while ago that a new ancestral spiritual root might be about to be born, and this morning he told me with certainty that the ancestral spiritual root of the love and desire system has appeared."

Chapter 89 New Goals

The three of them didn't let Jiang Shu hear the rest of their conversation.

The matter involved some classified information, and according to the rules, Jiang Shu, who was only a fourth-level operative for the time being, was not qualified to listen in.

However, before that, he learned some information through inquiries that was not a secret within large organizations, but that wild evolved beings might have never heard of.

Every so often, a special incubation ground will appear. There are no difficulty levels, levels, or restrictions on the number of people. In theory, any evolver can enter.

Although there are no explicit restrictions, those who haven't undergone metamorphosis and enter the area are usually killed on sight.

Therefore, reaching level six, and having undergone further refinement, is actually the minimum threshold.

This special incubator is like an amusement park, incorporating many different projects, which are essentially independent incubators under the same theme.

Conquering just one of them will grant a massive boost, enough to fundamentally transform an evolved being.

However, if one can conquer the ultimate and most crucial challenge, one can obtain the most important and ultimate reward for an evolver—upgrading their spiritual root to the highest level, the Primordial level.

However, the prerequisite is that the evolved being's spiritual root attribute must be the same as the attribute theme of the special incubator.

Throughout history, such special incubation grounds have only appeared sporadically a few dozen times, and the number of times an evolved being has upgraded to the ancestral spiritual root is extremely limited. No one has achieved this feat in the last few hundred years.

The exact benefits of the Primordial Spiritual Root have always been a mystery, but the most well-known one is that it can help evolvers break through the level 18 limit and become a life form beyond the scope of cognition.

Therefore, those with the ability and matching attributes will try to seize the ancestral spiritual root that only exists once in a given period, while those with weaker abilities or mismatched attributes will take this opportunity to obtain generous rewards from the mixed sub-incubation fields.

Therefore, the appearance of each special incubation site is a period of celebration for all evolved beings.

After each period of revelry, the evolutionary world, which has remained relatively stable for decades, will undergo a reshuffling.

Apart from some organizations with a solid foundation, many old organizations disappear each time, and then many new organizations emerge.

The current Holy Temple President, who is currently riding high, challenged the ultimate challenge decades ago in a special incubation field with the attribute of courage. Although he did not succeed, he still gained unimaginable benefits, and from then on, he was unstoppable.

What's even more special about this is that, in the past, special incubators for the three attributes of courage, life, and wisdom have appeared in turn, but love and desire have only appeared once in history. This is the first time that such a special incubator has appeared and been recorded.

If that's the case, it naturally explains why the rebels have suddenly become active.

This also explains why Elder Wuzheng and his disciple, Consultant Liu, are so concerned.

The Old Man of No Contradiction is a Desire-type Evolver, and Desire-type Evolvers have always been looked down upon in the evolutionary circle, so it is normal for him to want to obtain the Ancestral Spiritual Root to vindicate Desire-type Evolvers.

But the problem is...

"The one in the incubator is the primordial spiritual root, so what is mine?"

Jiang Shu stood in the corridor, unable to understand how she had become a substitute.

It seems Shen Mo was right; we need to hurry up and upgrade. Otherwise, if we can't reach the next level, we won't even be qualified to enter, let alone fight counterfeits. How can we go to such an interesting place to have fun?

Fortunately, the special incubator will not appear immediately, but there is a warm-up period.

When a high-level evolver can detect this incubation site, it means that it has just been born and is building and evolving on its own. It will take some time before it truly appears.

A six-month pre-launch period followed by a six-month launch period roughly constitutes the lifecycle of a special incubator.

During the warm-up period, it's as if the special incubators have their own consciousness and hope that someone can upgrade to the ancestral spiritual root. During this period, the owners of spiritual roots of the same attribute will receive a certain amount of experience points and points bonuses when they successfully conquer any incubator.

Therefore, even if no one ultimately obtains the Primordial Spiritual Root, the corresponding evolved individuals will still reap certain benefits.

One can imagine how many low-level love-desire evolvers will be moved to tears after the news comes out: "Finally, their time in prison is over!"

So Jiang Shu stopped thinking about it.

In short, just make good use of these six months.

Set a small goal first: reach level six to elevate your skills, and then, like Shen Mo, develop something cool and unique before making any further moves.

With that in mind, Jiang Shu decided to fill out the form first, and then browse the strategy section.

......

The sanctuary.

Xue Wang stared at the last message Jiang Shu sent him in his room, feeling lost and dejected.

Why are you still so polite when you talk to me...?

Aren't we good friends? Could she really be treating me like a little sister...?

She suddenly felt a little angry with her mother.

It must have scared the other party.

But then she thought again that she couldn't blame her.

Actually, it's my own fault for not explaining things clearly.

But... how could I possibly explain it clearly?

After thinking it over, she realized that she could only blame herself for being too engrossed and not seeing Jiang Shu's message immediately.

Thinking this, she opened her phone again and tapped on the app marked with a black cross.

After being blocked by Jiang Shu, she created a new account.

This time, I didn't rush into it. I just secretly followed Jiang Shu and then went through his posts one by one.

Looking at Jiang Shu's smiling face from his university days, Xue Wang sighed.

"You can smile so beautifully, but why do you never smile in front of me..."

Just then, perhaps Xue Wang, who only followed Jiang Shu but didn't know her attributes, was identified as a special user. In any case, the power of big data sent her a push notification.
