Resume is heaven-defying! Did this newcomer come by rocket?

The night was as dark as ink, with the lights of countless homes converging into a brilliant river of stars below.

Qin Feng clicked on the dark gold "Yellow Springs" app on his phone. He skillfully navigated to his personal center, his gaze lingering for a second on the Soul Reaper badge before sliding to the organizational structure and promotion system explanation page.

His strength had surged recently, and naturally, his horizons had broadened.

A mere Soul Reaper was no longer enough to satisfy his appetite.

Higher authority meant access to more advanced missions, more generous rewards, and the ability to redeem those powerful items lying in the store that had made him covetous for so long.

He had even already decided that his first reward after a successful promotion would be to redeem a spell. His current offensive methods were far too scarce.

[LV.3: Soul Custodian]

[Description: Regional elite combat power. Possesses the strength to handle D-Class incidents independently, usually leading a team of "Soul Reapers" to be responsible for C-Class incidents or troublesome D-Class incidents.]

[Promotion Conditions]:

[1. Spiritual Sense level reaches "Form Observation Realm".]

[2. Possesses a record of independently handling D-Class incidents, or has played a leading role in multiple D-Class incidents.]

Qin Feng read word by word, the corners of his eyebrows slightly raised.

Form Observation Realm? He had just broken through, perfect.

The "Human Meat Buns" incident, in the Special Cases Department's final assessment, had been upgraded to D-Class as an exception due to its bizarre rules and contamination range.

"What a coincidence?" Qin Feng stroked his chin, a playful smile appearing on his face.

These promotion conditions were practically tailor-made for him.

Without hesitation, he clicked the "Promotion Application" button.

A standard electronic form popped up, requiring the applicant to fill in the reasons for the application and supporting materials.

Qin Feng thought for a moment, then directly and flamboyantly typed a few words in the application reason column: "My strength is sufficient, I apply for an upgrade."

[Your promotion application has been submitted and is under review. Please wait patiently.]

Seeing the system prompt that popped up on the screen, Qin Feng nodded with satisfaction, casually tossed his phone aside, and paid it no further mind.

In his opinion, this was just a formality, a sure thing.

He began browsing the mission hall, looking for solo missions suitable for him.

While he was nonchalant, unbeknownst to him, at the other end of the Yellow Springs organization, his application was about to stir up a colossal storm.

Meanwhile, somewhere in Donghai City, deep underground in an unremarkable office building.

This was the internal affairs center of the "Yellow Springs" organization's Donghai branch.

Unlike the perilous life-and-death struggles of the field agents, it was quiet here, with only the low hum of servers and the crisp tapping of keyboards audible.

Dozens of internal affairs personnel in uniform were methodically processing massive amounts of intelligence data.

In District 3, Group B, Lamplighter Zhang Wen adjusted his gold-rimmed glasses and picked up his thermos cup filled with goji berries, preparing to enjoy a moment of leisure.

As a veteran LV.3 Lamplighter, his job was to review and organize the mission reports and intelligence submitted by field agents, and to incorporate them into the organization's central database, the "Sansheng Stone." Day after day, it was tedious but stable work.

Suddenly, a bright red pop-up window with the label "Manual Review" appeared on his screen.

"Promotion application?" Zhang Wen frowned.

Most low-level promotions were automatically reviewed by the system based on data. Those that needed to be transferred to him for manual review were either incomplete, or... special cases.

He clicked on the application, and a collaborator's file with the codename "Raven" popped up.

[Name: Qin Feng]

[Gender: Male]

[Recommender: Frost (Shen Bingyue)]

[Date of Entry: July 12, 2024]

"Recommended by Shen Bingyue?" Zhang Wen's frown deepened.

The eldest daughter of the Shen Family of Ice City, a rising star among the younger generation of the Special Cases Department. Someone she recommended couldn't be taken lightly.

He patiently continued to read.

[Application Content: Promotion from LV.2 Soul Reaper to LV.3 Soul Custodian.]

Zhang Wen almost spat his goji berry water onto the screen.

He subconsciously glanced at the time in the bottom right corner of the screen: July 15, 2024, 4:00 PM.

Less than three days since he joined.

Did this kid treat "Yellow Springs" like an online game and try to find a GM to open a backdoor and level up?

Zhang Wen suppressed the absurdity he felt, believing there must be some mistake.

As a meticulous archivist, he decided to retrieve all of this "Raven's" mission records to expose this overconfident newcomer with facts.

[Mission Records]:

[Event 1: Slit-Mouthed Woman (E-Class). Handling Method: Unknown. Result: Target eliminated. Remarks: Completed independently before joining, recorded by referrer.]

"Hmm, quite something. A promising seedling with good talent," Zhang Wen nodded.

[Event 2: The Thing Under the Bed (E-Class). Handling Method: Utilized a mixture of virgin boy's urine and essential balm to destroy its core rules, then finished it with a Cursed Item.]

When Zhang Wen saw the words "virgin boy's urine and essential balm," the corner of his eye twitched uncontrollably.

He suddenly remembered the "Essential Balm God of War" that had been causing a stir in the internal community a couple of days ago, drawing gasps of amazement from countless veterans. It turned out to be this kid!

"Unconventional, purely unconventional..." he muttered, shaking his head as he continued reading.

[Event 3: Human Meat Buns (D-Class). Handling Method: Disguised as a city management officer, used urban management regulations for verbal discipline to break its psychological defenses, causing its rules to become chaotic, then forcibly ended it with a Cursed Item.]

Upon seeing "disguised as a city management officer," the thermos Zhang Wen was holding clattered onto the desk. The warm goji berry water spilled all over the floor, but he didn't even notice.

He rubbed his eyes and leaned closer to the screen, rereading it word by word.

D-Class, completed independently, defeated a higher-ranked opponent – he understood each of these words individually, but what did they mean when put together?

Zhang Wen's breathing grew rapid, his mind buzzing.

Three days! A newcomer who had only been working for three days, from resolving an E-class Anomaly to independently clearing a D-class Anomaly!

What kind of growth speed was this?

Not even a rocket could go this fast!

For a regular Collaborator to go from Soul Reaper to being qualified to challenge D-class events, it usually took months, and that was for someone exceptionally talented!

"The strict requirement for a Soul Custodian is the Form Observation Realm..." Zhang Wen mumbled. He seemed to have thought of something even more terrifying and, with trembling hands, pulled up Qin Feng's initial Spiritual Sense assessment report from when he joined.

[Initial Spiritual Sense Level: Spirit Touch Realm (Early Stage)]

"Hiss—!" Zhang Wen gasped, feeling a chill shoot from the base of his spine straight to the crown of his head. He almost slid off his chair, every hair on his body standing on end.

Three days!

From a rookie in the "Spirit Touch Realm (Early Stage)" who could barely sense spiritual bodies, he had rocketed to the "Form Observation Realm," where he could see clearly!

And during that time, he had casually taken down an E-class and a D-class Anomaly like it was nothing!

This was no longer a matter of being a "genius."

This was a monster!

A peerless monster wearing human skin, more unreasonable than the Anomalies themselves!
