49: I like to go out and talk to people from the Minjiang River.

Hearing Yang Dian's Killing Intent-filled words, Lin Mo fell silent for a moment: "Young Yang, have you really thought this through?"

"If an Awakened from a hostile foreign power has infiltrated, then without a doubt, he will definitely have strong protectors by his side."

"City-Level is impossible; there are only a handful of such powerhouses in the world, and they are all under the surveillance of various countries."

"But a District-Level combatant, capable of slaughtering an entire town or district-level administrative area, that's a different story."

Yang Dian was startled: "Captain, are you not kidding?"

"We would allow a District-Level combatant to sneak in?"

"I thought at most it would be Village-Level combatants sneaking in!"

Lin Mo slowly exhaled: "You need to understand, our China is vast and rich in resources."

"Our border stretches from Mohe in the north to Zengmu Shoal in the south, from the Pamir Plateau in the west to the confluence of the Heilongjiang and Ussuri Rivers in the east."

"The land border is nearly 23,000 kilometers, and the coastline is about 18,000 kilometers long."

"With such a long border, how can we be thorough in every aspect?"

"It's truly impossible to guard against foreign powerhouses who want to infiltrate us."

Yang Dian was silent for a while, then looked at his panel.

'Perhaps, it's really time to use up all the energy to improve my strength.'

'What if I encounter danger and die, but the energy remains? Wouldn't that be a huge loss?'

Thinking of this, Yang Dian immediately showed a simple smile to Lin Mo: "Captain, I have some self-awareness regarding my own strength."

"If the opponent is a Village-Level combatant, I might still be able to be reckless."

"But if they have District-Level combatants, then I think I still need to be steady."

"After all, the world is vast, but my life is the most important!"

After catching his breath slightly, he asked with some curiosity: "By the way, Captain, I've been at the Bureau for so long, but I've never seen the Director or Deputy Director, nor have I heard you mention them. What is their strength? Where are they..."

"Also, isn't the number of Awakened in our Bureau incorrect?"

"Fuzhou City has a permanent population of 9 million. Even if the probability of Awakening is only one in ten thousand, our Bureau should still have 900 Awakened, right?"

"Even if a large portion is taken by the military, there should still be 300 people, right?"

"But why does our Bureau only have a handful of people, less than 100 in total?"

Seeing Yang Dian change the topic without a word, Lin Mo couldn't help but scratch his scalp.

"You kid."

After sighing about how steady young people are nowadays, he answered Yang Dian's question: "The Director and Deputy Director have gone to the capital for a meeting; I don't know when they'll be back."

"As for their strength, they are all District-Level."

"Among them, the Director's strength has already reached the limit of District-Level, close to City-Level."

"As for why our Special Administration Bureau only has a handful of people, there's a reason for that too."

As he spoke, he ticked off points on his fingers, explaining them one by one:

"First, the permanent population of our Fuzhou City is not 9 million, it's 8.5 million."

"Second, among the 8.5 million people, there are 1.2 million migrant workers, 1.5 million minors, and 880,000 elderly people over 60."

"Those among the 1.2 million migrant workers who Awaken generally take their families back to their registered residence, returning to their hometowns in glory."

"The probability of Awakening for minors and the elderly is low, and even if they could Awaken, given their age, most are not suitable for special recruitment into the Special Administration Bureau."

"So, the actual age-appropriate Awakened population is less than 5 million."

"Among those 5 million, half are women, and most of these female Awakened choose clerical work or choose to stay home and raise their families."

"Furthermore, not all male Awakened choose to join official organizations."

"Those willing to join the Special Administration Bureau and fight on the front lines are even fewer."

"Plus, where are we?"

"This is Min River!"

"Min River, where three parts are destined by heaven, and seven parts depend on hard work!"

"Some people just Awaken, and before we even contact them, they are lured abroad by their clansmen to fight for territory and bare their hearts to others."

"What can we do?"

"It's already quite remarkable that our Special Administration Bureau can put together 6 complete teams!"

"In fact, if it weren't for half of the teams being filled with ancient Martial Artists, we wouldn't even be able to form 6 complete teams; the number of teams would have to be cut in half!"

Watching Lin Mo's flustered expression, Yang Dian couldn't help but give an awkward laugh.

Going out to bare one's heart to others, that truly is something Min River people would do.

Among other things, aren't there many Min River people working in that area of northern Myanmar?

Although what they're doing isn't exactly good... As thoughts swirled in his mind, Yang Dian scratched the back of his head again: "Then Captain, what do we do next?"

"What else can we do?" Lin Mo sighed: "Eat what you should eat, drink what you should drink, patrol what you should patrol, and contain anomalous creatures when you should contain them."

"Just, if by some good Luck you happen to encounter Tian Zhen's family, don't you impulsively rush in."

"Keep your distance and call for backup, understand?"

"This is China. Even if a City-Level combatant sneaks in, once we discover him, we can ensure he comes with life but leaves without it!"

Yang Dian nodded: "I understand."

"Without absolute certainty, I definitely won't be impulsive."

Saying that, Yang Dian's gaze fell back to the computer.

He had glanced at the intranet when he opened it earlier.

It seemed he had several Merits (merit points) credited to his account.

He needed to see how many Merits (merit points) he had received and how much longer he needed to save to exchange for a rare treasure.

'If I had another heaven and earth treasures, I wonder if it could help my strength Breakthrough to District-Level...'

Just as Yang Dian was filled with anticipation, Lin Mo, who had come back to his senses, finally noticed Yang Dian's difference:

"Uh."

"Young Yang."

"Your hair..."

Yang Dian turned his gaze to Lin Mo upon hearing this.

Seeing his hesitant expression, Yang Dian smiled: "Didn't I go home yesterday?"

"My sister insisted on dragging me to the beach for clam digging."

"By good Luck, I found a little something by the sea."

Saying that, he patted his hair again: "Dudu, come out and say hello."

The next moment, a lock of hair from Yang Dian's high ponytail suddenly stood up, and amidst twinkling starlight, it transformed into a Starlight Jellyfish tentacle, 3 millimeters in diameter and about 26 centimeters long.

After appearing, the tentacle waved at Lin Mo, then transformed back into hair and draped over Yang Dian's shoulder.

Seeing this, Yang Dian could only shrug at the dumbfounded Lin Mo: "Dudu is an anomalous creature I found by the sea. Its appearance is similar to a jellyfish but it glows. I named it Starlight Jellyfish."

"It has the ability to Fusion with human hair."

"Besides that, Dudu is very beautiful."

After a brief introduction, Yang Dian didn't rush to check his Merits (merit points), but instead pulled up the registration form on the intranet.

[Registrant: Yang Dian

Registered Anomalous Creature: Starlight Jellyfish (Dudu) (photo attached)

Anomalous Creature Information: Low strength, harmless, can Fusion with human hair, increases hair volume, improves hair loss... Note: This anomalous creature is the pet of Third-Level Peacekeeper Yang Dian of the Special Administration Bureau, and has been recognized as its master.]

After briefly compiling some information about Dudu, Yang Dian submitted the registration form.

The next moment, Lin Mo, who received the registration form, looked at Yang Dian with a complex expression:

"You kid, is your Luck really that good?"

"I sent you out on a patrol, and you directly caught a heaven and earth treasures Golden Cicada."

"You went home and went clam digging, and found a jellyfish that can treat hair loss and looks so beautiful."

"You kid, you're not the Son of Luck from a novel, are you?"

As he spoke, he also touched his own increasingly sparse hair.

An anomalous creature that can increase hair, he needed it too, didn't he?

Yang Dian gave an awkward laugh.

If life were a novel, he really would be the protagonist.

Whose Transmigration is a supporting character?

Those unlucky guys who get caught by big shots as soon as they Transmigration don't count!

"Captain, stop joking with me. Please approve the registration form first."

"Otherwise, Dudu without a proper identity will also be a hassle..."
