384: Cosmic police?

Even though he had already informed his family before the competition that he might be out of contact for a year or two, he knew they would still be very worried.

Now that the competition was over, Lin Yang naturally wanted to go home as soon as possible.

The White Fatty Old Man nodded upon hearing this and said, "Of course you can. If you want to go back, I can take you anytime. But you joined the Universe Human Alliance, didn't you?"

"Yes," Lin Yang nodded.

"Which department?" the White Fatty Old Man asked.

"Alien Management Bureau," Lin Yang replied.

"Alien Management Bureau?" The White Fatty Old Man frowned slightly. "That's not an easy job."

"Job?" Lin Yang was startled.

"Yes, you have to work once you join. It's a job, didn't you know?" The White Fatty Old Man's frown deepened.

"Uh... your disciple did not know," Lin Yang said, stunned.

"Alas, it's like in your hometown, your home country. You pass various selections and assessments and are eventually assigned to a certain bureau, becoming a clerk there. You have to work for the Alien Management Bureau," the White Fatty Old Man offered a very easy-to-understand explanation.

"Oh... will there be a salary then?" Lin Yang asked.

"You rascal, you're already thinking about a salary?" The White Fatty Old Man was suddenly torn between laughter and tears.

"Hehe, since it's work, I can't do it for free, can I?" Lin Yang chuckled.

The White Fatty Old Man nodded and said, "There will definitely be benefits. To be honest, the conditions at the Alien Management Bureau are quite good, and not just anyone is qualified to get in. It's also very good for training people, but there's a lot of work and it takes up a lot of time. And you have an all-characteristic talent, I'm a little worried it will take up your time for merging extraordinary characteristic material."

With that, the White Fatty Old Man briefly explained the situation of Song Qingfeng's Alien Management Bureau department to Lin Yang.

The Alien Management Bureau, as its name suggests, is truly responsible for dealing with the troubles encountered by some cosmic humans who are currently known to be linked to the Universe Human Alliance.

"Among the Ten Thousand Universes, there are still many unknown universes that have not been detected or discovered. There are some professionals within the Human Universe Alliance who are responsible for detecting more unknown and distant cosmic existences, searching for whether there are still unknown humans. The Alien Management Bureau is responsible for handling the abnormal events encountered during this process."

The White Fatty Old Man explained.

"For example, if some human universes are invaded by a Foreign race, when the Universe Human Alliance receives a distress signal or monitors such an event, the Alien Management Bureau will step in to handle it first."

"Or, if some cosmic humans encounter some inexplicably strange things in their Home Universe, far beyond their capabilities, if they send a distress signal to the Universe Human Alliance in such a situation, the Alien Management Bureau will also send people to investigate."

"Furthermore, if some human powerhouses encounter danger while exploring unknown areas and send out a distress signal, the Alien Management Bureau is also responsible for rescue."

"These are some of the daily tasks of the Alien Management Bureau. It can be said that the abnormal distress calls the Alien Management Bureau has to deal with every day are countless. Some are not very dangerous, but sometimes they encounter particularly dangerous abnormal events, and when encountering abnormal events with a higher danger level, there is a very high risk of death."

Lin Yang's brows furrowed upon hearing this: "Master, why does this sound a bit like cosmic police?"

Based solely on the White Fatty Old Man's description, wasn't this just an upgraded version of the police?

It had merely upgraded from dealing with ordinary people's affairs to dealing with cosmic anomalies.

The White Fatty Old Man smiled faintly: "It's not wrong to understand it that way, but the difference is that the Alien Management Bureau only handles the rescue of abnormal events, and if both parties involved in an event are human, then it will not interfere. Only when one of the parties is suspected to be a Foreign race or an unknown race or unknown creature that has not been explored, will it help the human party that sent the distress signal!"

"Oh... so it only serves humans who encounter abnormal events," Lin Yang understood the difference between the Alien Management Bureau and the police station.

"Yes, generally speaking, joining the Alien Management Bureau is indeed very good for tempering oneself, because one can witness many abnormal events. In most cases, dealing with abnormal events means being able to come into contact with the unknown side of the universe firsthand, which can greatly broaden one's horizons."

The White Fatty Old Man nodded again and explained:

"And for every dangerous mission, in addition to the high subsidies for the mission itself, all additional resources obtained during the mission process do not need to be handed over to the Alien Management Bureau."

"This can be said to be the biggest benefit of joining the Alien Management Bureau. Although there may be risks every time an abnormal event is handled, high risks are usually accompanied by high income. Sometimes, one can even obtain some extremely rare and precious high-end resources during the process of dealing with abnormal events."

"Therefore, the Alien Management Bureau is the most popular department among the various official departments of the Universe Human Alliance. Many people are desperate to get in, because in addition to the two benefits mentioned above, when performing missions within the Alien Management Bureau, each abnormal event mission can also earn varying mission points. Accumulating a certain amount of points allows one to exchange for many precious resources within the Human Universe Alliance's official channels."

"It can be said that by going on an abnormal event mission after entering the Alien Management Bureau, if one is not unlucky, one can at least simultaneously receive three sources of income."

Lin Yang's eyes lit up immediately: "Then isn't that pretty good?"

Going on a mission comes with mission subsidies, mission points, and any additional resources obtained during the mission do not need to be handed over.

Wasn't this equivalent to making a fortune?

The White Fatty Old Man nodded with a smile: "It's pretty good, which is why it's the most popular department. Many people want to get in but have no way. But my precious disciple, you must know, among the Ten Thousand Universes, how many humans there are! The abnormal events that need to be dealt with in a single day are countless!"

"The Alien Management Bureau offers so many benefits, so naturally, the corresponding sacrifices will not be small. It can be said that after joining, you will basically no longer have any private time of your own!"

"For other people, the benefits gained are enough to offset this, but you are too different. You possess an all-characteristic talent. Even if you set aside those extraordinary characteristic materials that have no effect and don't merge them, there are still many types of extraordinary characteristic materials that need to be merged. Being so busy in the Alien Management Bureau, where will you find the time to focus on merging extraordinary characteristic material?"

The White Fatty Old Man looked at Lin Yang.

Honestly, if Lin Yang didn't have an all-characteristic talent, even if he only possessed the three supreme talents, joining the Alien Management Bureau would still be a rather good thing, capable of providing immense tempering.

But now that he possessed an all-characteristic talent, he was a little reluctant to let Lin Yang waste time in the Alien Management Bureau.

Lin Yang pondered: "Master, I understand what you mean, but with my efficiency in merging extraordinary characteristic material, training in the Alien Management Bureau for a period first won't delay anything."

Song Qingfeng had previously said that the Alien Management Bureau would definitely not disappoint him, and after hearing the White Fatty Old Man's explanation, he indeed felt a bit of interest.

The White Fatty Old Man pondered for a moment, then said: "That's true. After all, you are also human, and you possess the power of the three supreme extraordinary characteristic powers. In the future, you are bound to have a place in the Universe Human Alliance, and perhaps even become one of the pillars of the human race in this era. It's not impossible to train in the Alien Management Bureau for a period now; it can help you better understand the current situation of the human race in the Ten Thousand Universes."

"Furthermore..."

The White Fatty Old Man paused slightly, then continued:

"Some resources within the Universe Human Alliance are monopolized. If you thrive in the Alien Management Bureau, it will be even more beneficial for you to obtain some of these monopolized special resources. Some monopolized resources are very difficult for even me, your master, to acquire, and even if I do, it won't be much."

For certain considerations, the White Fatty Old Man, after some thought, decided to let Lin Yang stay in the Alien Management Bureau for a period first.

He also did not try to maintain his lofty image as a master by claiming he could obtain anything.

Instead, he told Lin Yang quite frankly that some monopolized resources were extremely difficult to obtain, and this had nothing to do with strength or status, but rather with some very special things.

As for what exactly those special things were, the White Fatty Old Man did not elaborate.

Lin Yang, knowing better than to ask further, simply said: "Master, then please take me back to Blue Star first. I'll report to the Alien Management Bureau after I get home."

"Alright, there's no need to rush to report there. Since Song Qingfeng personally invited you, and given the greatly changed circumstances, you don't need to report on time like ordinary Alien Management Bureau members."

The White Fatty Old Man smiled faintly:

"You can go after you have completely merged the spatial extraordinary characteristic material. By then, your own safety will be greatly enhanced when you go on missions!"

"Understood, Master," Lin Yang nodded immediately.

"Then, your master will take you home now."

The White Fatty Old Man grabbed Lin Yang's shoulder.
