5: Appeal to their emotions, enlighten them with reason, and lure them with benefits...

"Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck!"

Shi Sheng ignored the pain in his wrist and, amidst a string of curses, raised his hand cannon and pulled the trigger at He Qing, seeing her slender tongue extend to its limit, freeze for a moment in the air, and then rapidly retract.

"Bang ~ bang bang ~"

The slightly muffled sound of cannon fire echoed in the small bedroom.

Three streams of icy mist, even darker in color than before, again enveloped He Qing, making Yang Dian feel a bone-chilling cold despite the distance.

Perhaps Shi Sheng intentionally controlled it.

Yang Dian clearly saw that the icy mist did not land on the solid ice covering He Qing.

Instead, it transformed into wisps of blue smoke, penetrating through the cracks in the solid ice pierced by the tongue, and directly melted into He Qing's body.

Only when He Qing's entire body glowed with a strange blue light did Shi Sheng tremble, his face pale, and collapse onto the chair:

"Tha... thank you ~"

He looked at Yang Dian, touched the back of his head, and showed a look of lingering fear.

That was where he should have been shot in the head.

"If it weren't for you, even if I didn't die, I'd be laid up for two months."

Yang Dian said nothing, merely walked to the completely frozen He Qing, knelt down, and touched the solid ice covering her.

Feeling the bone-chilling cold from his fingertips, he retreated a few steps, and after moving away from He Qing, turned to look at Lin Mo:

"Are there many cases like He Qing's?"

Lin Mo shook his head:

"There weren't many before."

"But as time passes and Spiritual Qi's influence on Blue Star grows, such situations are gradually becoming more common."

"This year alone, in our Changle District, we've discovered 31 new Mutant creatures, 6 Mutant plants, and had 12 Mutant invasion incidents."

"That's a 50% increase compared to the same period last year."

"Extrapolating from this small sample, one can imagine how many mutated animals and plants will appear nationwide and even globally, and how many Mutant invasion incidents will occur."

"Yet, areas with significant human activity only account for 10-15% of Blue Star's land area, equivalent to 3-4% of its total surface area."

"No one knows what changes are happening in the wilderness, dense forests, deep seas, or even deep underground, under the influence of Spiritual Qi."

As he spoke, Lin Mo again extended his right hand towards Yang Dian:

"So, do you want to join us?"

"The world is about to undergo massive changes; this is a future that can be observed with the naked eye."

"Setting aside so-called national righteousness, you also have to think about your family, don't you?"

"Even if it's just for them, you should use any available power to improve yourself even more diligently than before."

"And in Huaxia, there's no better place to be than joining us."

Looking at the right hand again extended before him, Yang Dian grasped it without hesitation:

"You're absolutely right."

"Even if it's just to protect my dad, my mom, and my chuunibyou sister, I should work even harder to improve myself than before."

Humans are not plants; who can be without feelings?

Meng Po's soup failed to wash away Yang Dian's memories from his previous life.

But this doesn't mean he's an ungrateful wretch in this life, capable of disregarding his parents' nurturing grace.

He truly couldn't imagine what it would be like to see his parents, who had painstakingly raised him for eighteen years, and his sister, who had called him 'stinky older brother' for over a decade, die before him.

That scene was too cruel; he dared not imagine it, and even less did he want to see it in the future!

'Therefore, joining the Special Administration Bureau and leveraging its resources to become stronger faster is the best choice.'

'I wonder if the Bureau has anything to increase energy, and how many Martial Arts Secret Manuals, or even Divine Abilities and immortal arts it possesses...'

Yang Dian looked forward to everything after joining the Bureau.

And Lin Mo, looking at Yang Dian's tightly clasped right hand, also smiled.

Is it useful to talk about national sentiment and national righteousness with young people?

It is useful.

But national sentiment and national righteousness can only make people hot-blooded for a short time.

Once the initial fervor subsides, people will still weigh the pros and cons.

Only by appealing to their emotions, reasoning with them, and enticing them with benefits can a win-win, or even multi-win, outcome ultimately be achieved... "Woo-woo-woo-woo-woo ~"

The speeding police car swept past the somewhat empty streets of the late night.

Sitting in the passenger seat of the police car, watching the streaking lights outside the window, and recalling the scenes that unfolded today, Yang Dian still felt a bit surreal.

First, in the afternoon, his Dragon Claw Hand had a Breakthrough, and with one claw, he crushed a thermos cup.

After roughly familiarizing himself with his greatly enhanced finger strength, the Martial Artist who had been secretly observing him for seven days knocked on his door.

Then, Shi Sheng and Lin Mo, draped in multiple layers of officialdom, arrived, and He Qing underwent a Mutation, showing him the true side of this world.

'Next, I should be specially recruited into the Special Administration Bureau.'

'I wonder how many more surprises await me.'

Just as Yang Dian was envisioning his future, Shi Sheng had already parked the car in a parking space:

"What are you staring at? We're here, get out quickly."

"First, I'll process your onboarding, then introduce you to the benefits and perks. If there's time, big brother will take you to..."

Shi Sheng didn't finish his sentence, merely giving Yang Dian a look that all men understood.

"Slap ~"

However, just as he revealed that slightly lewd expression, he received a slap on the back of his head.

"Little Yang is only 18, where do you want to take him?"

Shi Sheng pouted:

"Where else could I go?"

"Invite him to Old Yu's barbecue stall for oysters and abalone!"

Lin Mo glared at Shi Sheng:

"Don't lead him astray! He just graduated from high school and hasn't even started college!"

Shi Sheng mumbled softly:

"You also know he just graduated from high school..."

Lin Mo ignored the mumbling Shi Sheng and waved to Yang Dian, who had just opened the car door:

"The Bureau has few people; there are only about 100,000 people nationwide who have Awakened their talents."

"As for Ancient Martial Artists, most are with the Martial Security Bureau. Our Minjiang situation is quite special, so there are also many Ancient Martial Artists in the Special Administration Bureau."

"To avoid wasting resources, our office space is merged with the Public Security Bureau, and we also use the Public Security Bureau's uniforms."

"Of course, for convenience in work, once you officially become a member of the Special Administration Bureau, you will also be issued identification documents for departments like the Vice Squad, Major Crimes Unit, and Mounted Police, and will be provided with corresponding equipment and uniforms..."

During a pause in Lin Mo's introduction, Yang Dian seized the opportunity to ask:

"I'm just joining the China Anomalous Affairs Administration like this? Is it really okay?"

Lin Mo smiled:

"Of course it's okay."

"Shortly after your body temperature became abnormal and the System issued an alert, we used our authority to review all your information from childhood to adulthood, including your extended relatives and five generations of ancestors."

"Your special recruitment into the Bureau has been approved by the General Administration. As long as you agree, there are absolutely no procedural issues."

"Originally, we should have contacted you a few days ago, but we were delayed by the Mutation that occurred with He Qing."

"Our original plan was to deal with He Qing's matter first, and then contact you, but we didn't expect tonight's incident to happen."

"If you really had any problems, we wouldn't be so easy to deal with..."

...After a series of procedural verifications during Lin Mo's explanation.

Soon after, Yang Dian, holding several identification documents, officially became a member of the Seventh Squad of the First Brigade of Fuzhou City, Minjiang Province, China Anomalous Affairs Administration.

'Speaking of which, it seems like my Seventh Squad has more officials than soldiers...'

Just as Yang Dian was lost in thought, Lin Mo stood before a large door again and waved to Yang Dian:

"Since your documents are ready and you're now a part of the Bureau, it's time to claim your newcomer benefits."

Yang Dian was surprised, "Newcomer benefits?"

Lin Mo hadn't mentioned it before.

Seeing Yang Dian's surprised expression, Lin Mo subtly smiled:

"You'll know once you come in."

With that, Lin Mo had already passed a series of verifications and opened the silver-white steel door.
