8: Current status of the Foreign Affairs Bureau

Perhaps it was to leave a good impression on Yang Dian.

The person who was probably Shi Sheng's wife chatted briefly with the two of them, then waved goodbye and walked towards the Public Security Bureau with her documents.

After watching her enter the Public Security Bureau and chasing the curious female Policemen at the entrance back inside, Shi Sheng finally spoke:

"Xu Qian, my wife."

"We got married two years ago."

At this point, he gave a self-deprecating laugh.

"We've been married for over two years, had two little babies, and she got pregnant again a little over a month ago."

"Do you think I'm like a stud?"

Yang Dian glanced at him:

"I feel like you're not regretting being a stud."

Shi Sheng turned to look at Yang Dian, wanting to hear what he would say...

"I feel like it's because your wife is pregnant, and she's keeping a tight leash on you, so you have no outlet for your energy."

Shi Sheng immediately burst out laughing:

"Heh, you really understand me, you little rascal!"

With that, he started the Cadillac again, stepped on the accelerator, and drove towards the Public Security Bureau:

"My wife's cousin is pretty good; she's beautiful and kind-hearted, and she's well-educated. She doesn't have any Young Miss temper and has never dated anyone since she was young."

"If you find her interesting after meeting her, then go for it."

Yang Dian also laughed:

"You brute, you told me not to rush my choice before."

"Anyway, you can't get a marriage certificate right now, so just see how it goes. Who knows how far it might develop in the future..."

...As the two bantered, the car stopped outside the Special Administration Bureau office building.

As Yang Dian pushed open the passenger door, before he even got out, he saw someone on the steps twist her ankle, scattering documents everywhere.

Looking at the female Policeman who fell to the ground with an "Oh dear~," he was truly speechless.

'This gives me a sense of déjà vu, like a domineering CEO office romance...'

Just as Yang Dian began to complain in his mind, Shi Sheng, who had hastily parked the car, rushed over:

"Xiaoyuan, why are you so clumsy? You're a grown woman, how can you still fall while walking? Did you twist your ankle?"

Liu Yuanyuan, who had originally intended to pretend to have twisted her ankle, rolled her eyes at Shi Sheng:

"Now you're helping me pick up documents? I never saw you so kind before."

After complaining about Shi Sheng, Liu Yuanyuan simply sat on the ground and picked up the scattered documents. After standing up, she extended her right hand to Yang Dian:

"Liu Yuanyuan, a member of the Second Brigade of the Special Administration Bureau."

Shi Sheng added:

"The First Brigade of the Bureau is the combat team, responsible for containing abnormal creatures and handling Mutant invasion incidents."

"The Second Brigade is the information team, responsible for collecting and organizing information, screening Awakened and abnormal creatures, and preventing Mutant invasion incidents."

"Most members of the Second Brigade are ordinary people who know some ancient Martial Arts but haven't truly mastered them."

Liu Yuanyuan, who had just shaken hands with Yang Dian, glared at Shi Sheng again:

"You talk too much."

Shi Sheng, not to be outdone, glared back:

"Oh, and Yuanyuan is already 26 years old, eight years older than you."

"Ah~~~"

"You brute, I'll tear your mouth off!!!"

Watching Liu Yuanyuan chase Shi Sheng into the Special Administration Bureau office building, Yang Dian couldn't help but smile knowingly.

"How is it? The atmosphere in the Bureau is quite good, isn't it?"

Lin Mo, who came up behind Yang Dian with a briefcase, also showed an aunt-like smile as he watched the two playfully bickering.

"To have this atmosphere, we owe a lot to Shi Tou, that lively character."

"Before he came, the atmosphere in the Bureau wasn't this lively."

Saying that, he handed the briefcase to Yang Dian:

"Your new recruit benefits, exclusive sidearm, and some special equipment from the Bureau are all in this box."

As he spoke, a timely look of envy appeared in his eyes:

"You're lucky; the research department just updated a batch of equipment for the Bureau two days ago. You just happened to catch it."

Yang Dian eagerly took the box.

The special equipment was secondary; what he cared about was the Heaven and Man Unity Skill.

This was a Cultivation Technique that earned 10 times the merit of Dragon Claw Hand!

If he had to rely solely on the basic allowance, he would have to save for 100 months, which is over 8 years, to get his hands on this Secret Manual!

Thinking of merit, Yang Dian, who followed Lin Mo into the office building, asked curiously:

"Captain, how much merit can we get for an abnormal incident like the one we resolved yesterday?"

Lin Mo thought for a moment, then shook his head:

"Hard to say."

"Mainly because He Qing didn't cause much harm to social order. The only impact she caused was absorbing some 'essence' from ladybugs."

"The exact amount of merit will depend on the Third Squad's identification results of the Mutant creature."

At this point, he added:

"Oh, and the Third Squad is the research team, responsible for analyzing, processing, and researching Mutant creatures."

"Their office isn't at the Public Security Bureau, but at Fuzhou University."

"Many people in the Third Squad are also university professors, and when they have nothing to do, they even teach students."

Yang Dian paused.

He hadn't expected the Special Administration Bureau to be like this.

'The higher-ups have truly integrated resources to the extreme.'

Amidst his thoughts, Lin Mo had already led Yang Dian into the Seventh Squad's office.

"The First Brigade has seven combat squads. The first six squads are full-strength, with 12 people each."

"Our Seventh Squad was just established a few days ago, and for now, it's just you, me, and Shi Sheng."

"Because there are so few of us, the tasks assigned to us are the simplest kind."

"Generally, it's things like containing abnormal creatures, recruiting newly Awakened, and contacting ancient Martial Artists who have found their Dao, so the danger is relatively small."

"If there's nothing to do and you're bored in the office, you can also patrol the streets. We also have law enforcement power when we encounter petty theft."

"Oh, and the others aren't at the Bureau these past few days."

"Two flying cloud leopards appeared in Tianmu Mountain in Zhe Province, and due to a shortage of manpower, the first and second squads were borrowed by them."

"The remaining four squads went on missions to the towns below."

"So for now, it's just a few of us in the Bureau."

"Once they return, I'll introduce you to them."

After a brief introduction to the current situation of the Bureau, Lin Mo led Yang Dian to his workstation and then began to busy himself with his own affairs.

Not counting last night, Yang Dian, who was entering a 'Bureau' for the first time in both his lives, uncomfortably shifted his body.

After a while, finding himself truly bored, he simply opened the black briefcase.

Then, six items, separated by soft foam and tightly wrapped, came into Yang Dian's sight.

A black pistol in a pistol holster.

A magazine loaded with 15 rounds.

A pair of black sunglasses.

A light blue glass bottle containing a lotus seed.

Two golden spheres engraved with splendid patterns.

And a brand-new book with the five characters "Heaven and Man Unity Skill" printed on its cover.

After a quick glance at the six items in the briefcase, Yang Dian first reached for the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, which he had been longing for.

But just as he was about to pick up the Heaven and Man Unity Skill, he felt something was off.
