Based on Our Historical Experience...

After bidding farewell to the enthusiastic staff of the Thirteenth Alchemy Center, Xu Nan returned home with a wealth of knowledge and experience.

At the commendation ceremony, the senior management of Thousand Rays Society generously rewarded outstanding students with excellent prizes!

For example, Song Bai and other members of the champion team all received a storage equipment!

This makes many people envious.

When these trainees returned to their unit, Xu Nan could feel the envious gazes of those nearby.

Xu Nan curled her lip. Luckily, they didn't know her family's wealth, otherwise they probably would have already swarmed her to play cards and take down the rich guy...

After all, Song Bai and the others' storage devices were only a few feet square; while Xu Nan already had more than a hundred deluxe storage devices, which were categorized and contained all sorts of materials, props and equipment.

In a sense, City Lord Xu is more like a boss than the boss himself, but not many people know it yet.

After the commendation ceremony, Xu Nan had a meal with the trainees before they all went their separate ways.

Fan Xinlei suggested that everyone join a group so that they could keep in touch with each other in the future, so Xu Nan joined another WeChat group.

January 4, 2020.

The battle at Five Yang Lake has come to an end. Although the next Training Camp is still being prepared, many Training Camp members have already contacted Xu Nan.

"Teacher Xu, Teacher Xu, I heard that if I follow you, I can get first place? At least a P2 position? We'd love to welcome you..."

"Alipay or WeChat? I'll transfer the money to you directly!"

"No, no, please don't refuse! Everyone, you're the head of the Training Camp..."

What kind of nonsense is this? Do you think I, Xu Nan, am that kind of person?

He silently rejected all the random friend requests. He couldn't help it; he was afraid he'd give in and accept them if he looked at them a few more times.

If it weren't for the internal regulations of Thousand Rays Society, Xu Nan wouldn't bother to provide Training Camp mentors.

While coaching can be profitable, I can't afford to lose too much! Besides, what kind of image would it project if word got out that someone from the Special Ops Team was coaching others?

Regardless of the circumstances, after the battle at Five Yang Lake, especially after Xu Nan's feat of killing the Poison Dragon spread, Xu Nan became quite famous in the entire professional community of H City.

He was always approached by all sorts of people with various motives.

Several talent scouts even said that Xu Nan's appearance was very suitable for debuting as an idol... In this context of interdimensional fusion, professionals have become popular stars. Many professionals have become stars with their extraordinary abilities, and have a lot of followers and fans in various places. Thousand Rays Society's attitude towards Ci is very calm, and it seems that they have not intervened.

"If I wanted to debut as an idol, I could have done it when I was fifteen! Why would I need to use those fancy tricks of a warlock now?"

"I have the utmost contempt for those who scam money from underage girls!"

"Even if I, Xu Nan, starve to death or jump off this building, I will never become a so-called idol!"

Xu Nan rejected the talent scout on the other end of the phone, who claimed to be from a major entertainment company, without any hesitation.

"Sorry, I've been getting too many phone calls lately..." Xu Nan, sounding a bit annoyed.

Standing atop the teaching building, overlooking the entire Shang University, he felt as if all living beings were mere ants.

The world has indeed changed dramatically. Fewer and fewer people are diligently memorizing vocabulary or preparing for certification exams in the library. On the contrary, the "Professional Activity Center" newly built by the school for professionals is becoming increasingly popular, and various related clubs are springing up faster than mushrooms after rain.

When Xu Nan returned to school, she received at least five flyers for clubs for professionals.

Old Hai, carrying a thermos, wore a worried expression. "This world is changing so fast, and we humans are adapting just as quickly. I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse... By the way, Zhang Jian is with you now?"

Xu Nan nodded. "He told me to follow you."

Old Hai frowned. "Why are they stuffing all sorts of people into my group? It's turning this place into a secret unit. Every new recruit is carrying a bunch of random stuff."

Xu Nan asked in surprise, "Besides me, there are many other new people who have joined the Special Ops Team?"

Old Hai frowned even deeper. "The Special Ops Team's scope of work has increased, so we have to expand. I mentioned it to Zhang Jian, and as a result, he sent all the unstable and dangerous elements from the Thousand Rays Society to me. You're the seventeenth!"

Xu Nan was unhappy. "Teacher, I'm very stable."

Old Hai nodded. "Maintain stability while causing trouble."

Xu Nan remained silent.

"Tell me your current strength. You don't need to go into too much detail, just get a general idea."

Old Hai looked at Xu Nan.

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "Among the second-tier, it should be considered one of the more powerful ones, right?"

Although he is only level six, once he activates his Initiate Sorcerer form, there are probably few second-tier professionals who can surpass him, so it's not an exaggeration.

Old Hai paced back and forth, unscrewed the cap of his thermos, and thought for a moment, "Then you should work with Liu for now. He has a rather troublesome task."

Xu Nan, with a shameless grin, asked, "Can I work for you?"

Old Hai asked in surprise, "Why are you following me? To play badminton or to class?"

Xu Nan volunteered. "I'm fine with anything."

Old Hai considered his words carefully, but finally patted Xu Nan on the shoulder and said, "I still prefer playing badminton with young girls..."

Xu Nan was annoyed at the time, thinking, "Are young girls prettier than me?"

He was about to prove something when he immediately dismissed the idea... Fortunately, the Quest Card didn't manage to cause any trouble this time.

Fearing another ridiculous mission involving cross-dressing to seduce Old Hai, Xu Nan immediately asked, "Where is our Special Ops Team's office located?"

Old Hai pointed to the [Professional Activity Center] not far away:

"Underground over there."

Xu Nan thought for a moment, "So you asked me to meet here because it's a high vantage point... Are you implying that I should broaden my horizons in the future?"

Old Hai choked on his goji berry tea, and after finally catching his breath, he touched his dwindling Mediterranean Sea fin, which was swaying precariously in the wind.

"No, it's just a personal preference; only here can I feel like I have hair..."

Xu Nan remained silent for a while, then suddenly an idea struck her:

"Teacher, can you help me get a pharmaceutical production license?"

Old Hai promised to give it a try regarding the pharmaceutical production license, which made Xu Nan extremely satisfied.

He wasn't really opposed to Special Ops Team. The work here was actually more relaxed than at the grassroots level. Except when they were on missions, most of the time everyone did their own thing and took turns leaving the computer running.

In order to sell the Qin Lele Brand Hair Growth Tonic he had stockpiled as soon as possible, he even bribed Old Hai with two bottles for free.

The Special Ops Team's office is located on the ninth basement floor of the Shang University's Professional Activity Center.

There aren't many staff members right now. Xu Nan has her own private office with faster internet speed than at home. Xin'er will definitely love it here.

Xu Nan opened the Live Stream Room and happened to see Lan Lan and Xin'er streaming again. He figured he was pretty sure Lan Lan was a Celestial Spirit now, and he had to stick close to her!

He gritted his teeth, spent 200,000 yuan, and gave it all to Lan'er as a reward!

The Live Stream Room immediately became lively. Xu Nan felt guilty and didn't dare to linger. He secretly logged into his main account and gave Xin'er an extra 100,000 yuan in tips... Sigh, I'm really short of money lately!

Your Divine Favor Value has increased!

[Your Awakening Power +1000!]

The system indicated a slight delay, but it still arrived, leaving Xu Nan in awe.

This Protoss is too materialistic! They give you 20,000 Divine Favor Value for every 200,000 you spend? If I spend another 600,000, won't my Initiate Sorcerer level just go up instantly?

Looking at his dwindling wealth, he finally abandoned his mad idea.

Most of the money had already been given to Lü Junyi to buy and sell land; this was a pretext for the relocation of Linxia City. Xu Nan suddenly realized that he was actually quite short of money himself!

How about I get some boosting services at the next Training Camp? And will the fee be in RMB this time?

As Xu Nan was thinking this, a thin man in a trench coat barged into his office:

"Xu Nan?"

Xu Nan nodded.

"I am Liu Erdao." The man had deep-set eyes and a straight nose, giving him a somewhat mixed-race appearance. "Level 10 Ranger, Level 1 Jungle Explorer."

"Old Hai, are you my new partner?"

Xu Nan compared the information and nodded again.

"Then come with me!"

Liu Erdao was clearly the decisive type of man. Xu Nan was taken aback for a moment. "Where are we going?"

"Let's keep going!" Liu Erdao urged. "Time waits for no one."

Xu Nan was a little unaccustomed to this fast-paced office work. While trying to keep up with Liu Erdao's pace, he tugged at his shirt and said, "I'm going like this? Without changing my clothes?"

Liu Erdao glanced at it. "The Cultists won't wait for you to finish changing your clothes!"

Xu Nan's expression hardened. "Is it related to Cultists?"

In the Pro World, there are many evil gods, but the most destructive are all kinds of Cultists. Before, Tiamat's brothers were just playing around, but when they encountered the disciples of those famous cults who could cause large-scale tragedies, who knows what would happen!

No wonder Liu Erdao is so serious; he probably just received a tip!

The two hurriedly left the activity center and rushed to an old district as quickly as possible.

"According to the information above, several Blood Worship Cultists have infiltrated H City. My mission is to find them as quickly as possible and eliminate them before they pose a threat to the city!"

"Look, this old district looks old, but it's actually even older... Some of the buildings were built in the 1970s. When we go in, we shouldn't make any big movements so as not to upset anyone!"

Liu Erdao led Xu Nan to the entrance of a narrow staircase and whispered his instructions.

Xu Nan immediately sensed something was wrong. Could there be many people upstairs in this building?

Liu Erdao seemed to sense his confusion and explained, "This is a pyramid scheme operation."

"It took us a lot of effort to find traces of the Blood Worship Cultists here!"

Xu Nan couldn't help but nod. "Indeed, using the commonalities between Cultists and pyramid scheme operators as a means of reconnaissance and investigation is brilliant!"

Liu Erdao was silent for a moment, then shook his head. "That's not how it is."

"We're just basing our decisions on past experience... Never mind, you'll see when you go in!"

"Let's first disguise ourselves as people from this hideout, and then we'll improvise!"

Xu Nan hadn't even figured out how to fake a pyramid scheme operation when she was pulled inside by several people as soon as she went upstairs with Liu Erdao: "Why are you so slow? You almost missed Teacher Zhao's lecture!"

"This is my cousin, he's new here, please take good care of him." Liu Erdao was clearly very skilled.

Xu Nan wasn't very good at acting, but she was quite good at playing dumb. She tried to get away with a few awkward laughs, only to find that the other person didn't care whether her laughter was genuine or not...

What a waste of time!

Xu Nan followed them into the pyramid scheme den, where a man in a suit with a crew cut was writing on a blackboard!

The three key elements to success!

Keep trying! Keep trying! Keep trying!

If you don't succeed, it proves that you haven't worked hard enough or been passionate enough!

Want to earn millions a year? Want luxury cars and beautiful women? Want to be among the elite? Then hard work is definitely the most important thing!

The bald-headed lecturer gave a passionate and inspiring speech, which made Xu Nan's blood boil.

I feel that as long as I follow his methods, slaying gods and destroying Buddhas will no longer be a dream.

It took Xu Nan a while to realize that Liu Erdao had been stabbing him the whole time!

He chuckled dryly, then noticed a "hot-blooded" man diagonally opposite him with a strange tattoo on the back of his neck!

"They are Blood Worship Cultists!"

Xu Nan became wary!

What's this guy up to here?

He observed for a while, and suddenly a brilliant idea struck him!

He seemed to understand something.

Just then, Liu Erdao's voice came softly:

"Based on our historical experience, Cultists from the Pro World are usually lured into pyramid schemes..."

"They will basically forget their mission and purpose, and be completely rebrainwashed..."

"So, coming to these hideouts to look for people is definitely the right thing to do!"

Xu Nan looked at the Blood Worship Cultists chanting slogans with such enthusiasm and suddenly felt speechless.

...!
