Departments

The next morning.

Today is a very important day for the two of them. Although there was a slight mishap Corner Experience, there were no problems overall.

Today, based on their performance in the experience room, the two will be selected to join the Exploration Bureau, becoming official agents and qualified to explore the depths of the Corner.

Luo Di also got up early, went to the window to stretch his body, and looked at the plants on the windowsill. The color of the flowers seemed to be the same as yesterday.

After doing a thousand push-ups to wake up my body for the day...

Knock knock~ There was a knock on the door.

Covered in sweat, Luo Di jogged over to open the door, only to You Zhen had come to see him in person.

"So early? Are we going to choose a department now?"

"Yes, come with me! It doesn't need to be too formal. After all, the main force of our Exploration Bureau is in the corner. Today's department selection is more of a preliminary process."

Where 'Yu Ze? Is he still not up?

Just as You Zhen was peeking out and searching inside the house,

The sound of flushing came from the direction of the toilet. Yu Ze, with messy hair and wearing a bear-patterned pajama, came out.

"Huh? Isn't this too early? I thought I'd go after noon~ Wait for me."

Yu Ze returned to his bedroom and could faintly hear various objects colliding.

He quickly changed into an outfit that combined Taoist robe with a casual jacket, and came out wearing cloth shoes, but his hair was not tied up yet.

The smooth, jet-black hair cascading down his shoulders, combined with his youthful face, made Luo Di momentarily unrecognizable.

Even You Zhen was quietly exclaiming, "Wow~ It's so beautiful."

As Yu Ze tied his hair into a bun and put on his signature round-framed sunglasses, he said, "What's there to see? Let's go."

The selection of departments was not very formal, there was no induction ceremony, and there were not many people.

You Zhen led them directly to the Personnel Department and sat them in a closed office. You Zhen person there to contact them.

Snap!

A sealed metal box was placed on the table by You Zhen.

After opening the box using special verification methods, the ten badges stored inside were taken out and neatly arranged on the table using invisible threads to guide them.

All badges are similar to the World Bureau logo, and their chassis frame structure uses a three-ring gear.

"From left to right, these correspond to the ten departments of our Exploration Bureau. You can take a look at them first."

Luo Di had already focused his attention on these exquisitely crafted metal badges, and as he gazed at them, he heard the name of the department that You Zhen explained.

"The Exploration Bureau is composed of ten departments, and each department plays an irreplaceable role in exploration."

Your Corner Experience reports are also here, and at the end of the reports, it specifies the departments you can apply to join.

Two files were also thrown over.

Luo Di flipped to his own report, and as expected, most of the reviews were very high, far exceeding his expectations. For a newcomer to encounter a monster of that caliber so early in the game and survive was truly remarkable.

Not to mention, you can easily resolve normal events and earn Corner Coin during the experience.

Luo Di has four departments to choose from.

Yu Ze has seven departments to choose from, making him a truly versatile talent.

Both of them have three departments to choose from.

Comprehensive Operations Department, Rapid Action Department, and Extinction Department.

You Zhen offered advice from the side, "If you want to join the same department, I personally suggest you choose one."

The Comprehensive Operations Department is currently the largest department within the Exploration Bureau, and is essentially the central department.

Once you join, you will be provided with resources and assistance in various aspects, which will help you develop in the direction of your strengths. It is most suitable for Yu Ze.

Meanwhile, Luo Di had already picked up the gear badge with the skull on it. "What does the Extinction Department do?"

His interest stemmed not only from the department's name, but also from the fact that the warden was the department's former Deputy Minister.

You Zhen explained, "The Extinction Department, also known as the Suppression Department, is formed by the most combative group of agents within the Exploration Bureau."

If a monster or group of monsters poses a substantial danger to our Exploration Bureau, and we have obtained sufficient clues to determine their activity area or specific address.

At this point, the Extinction Department would be deployed to carry out a devastating attack on the target, leaving no trace behind.

Having heard this, Luo Di had already made his decision, "I want to choose this one, Yu Ze, what about you?"

"This is really perfect for you, fellow villager, and you even have the warden's recommendation... As for me, well, I'm actually quite interested in formations, and I'd really like to choose the tenth one."

Luo Di then asked, "It seems that exploration teams can typically be composed of people from different departments? Is that right? Miss You Zhen?"

"Yes, exploration teams can be formed freely. Only when the Exploration Bureau needs to carry out large-scale or special operations will an entire department be specifically mobilized."

Being in different departments will not affect your daily explorations.

Personally, I also suggest choosing the department that best suits you personally. The atmosphere and training methods in different departments will be beneficial to your subsequent pituitary growth and plant development.

"Then Yu Ze, you should choose a department that suits you. There's no need for you to be with me."

Yu Ze smiled faintly and reached out to touch the skull-decorated badge. "Hey~ I'm interested, but it wouldn't be fun if I didn't choose to be with you, my fellow villager. I'm a bit introverted and don't really like going into an environment where I don't know anyone... Besides! Our Special Operations Group is essentially another form of the Annihilation Department."

Let's choose this one.

You Zhen put away the other badges and found an extra set of the Annihilation Department badges, giving one to each of them.

"Once everything is arranged, you will set off again for the corner and embark on your exploration journey to headquarters."

I will most likely continue to work with you.

Regarding the Joker, the Exploration Bureau will provide additional targeted surveillance and protection.

Luo Di was somewhat puzzled. "Heading to headquarters? This Nexus we're in isn't part of headquarters?"

"This place can only be considered the 'former headquarters' now. What headquarters is there where you can't even see a single person?"

After the Exploration Bureau acquired enough Corner Coin and met the requirements to purchase a sufficiently large property in the Mid-Shallow Layer Corner, the headquarters moved in.

After completing the Corner Experience and choosing a department, all newcomers will embark on an exploration journey to headquarters.

However, your situation is a little special.

Headquarters is aware that you've been targeted by a special monster, so they're paying close attention. If you encounter the clown again during your exploration, they'll send someone immediately.

Luo Di didn't care; he was more concerned about something else. "What were the results of the Ovum Sample analysis? Any new clues?"

You Zhen shook her head.

"The analysis is complete. It should be a specially created independent product of the Joker, completely separated from his original self. This guy has extremely strong counter-surveillance awareness."

It is very difficult to eradicate it from the corner unless you use Luo Di as bait to locate his residence.

But let's not think about that now; we need to wait until your pituitary Pituitary Gland Sprouting.

"Okay, that's good."

Luo Di wanted this outcome; he didn't want the clown to reveal his identity and address prematurely, which would lead to the powerful members of the Exploration Bureau hunting him down.

Although Luo Di himself didn't show much emotion, he had to carry out the killing of the clown himself.
