"Ah this..."

The young man had a look of surprise on his face. He wanted to retort, but found that he didn't know what to say.

"Of course..."

Another tall staff member smiled and said, "We will not lower our evaluation because the individual soldier asked for the City Patrol Army's cooperation. In fact, whether he or his information analysis specialist came up with this idea, it is a good thing that he can ask for the City Patrol Army's cooperation... We are not afraid of ability users requesting cooperation, we are afraid of ability users refusing to cooperate."

"So this evaluation for him is already very good. After all, I heard that he is still a newcomer..."

"..."

"So..."

Looking at these two seniors who were very reserved and arrogant, the young man had a slightly puzzled expression on his face. "What our out-of-control risk assessment team has to do is to use hindsight to analyze whether there is a better way to handle the matter after the ability users have completed their tasks, and then use the form of discussion to make an evaluation of their tasks?"

"..."

The two seniors choked up and looked at the young man with faint eyes.

The young man trembled and began to worry about whether he could pass the internship.

"You said it wrong..."

The slightly fatter senior thought for a moment, then looked at the young man seriously. "Our task is not to judge whether there is a better way to deal with it, but to judge how much humanity they still retain from the process of carrying out the task..."

"The more humanity there is, the lower the risk of losing control."

"..."

"That's right..."

Another high-ranking senior sighed earnestly and said, "You may not know that this ability user's risk of losing control was set at 85% at the beginning. As he performed well in several consecutive tasks, it has been lowered to below 80%. However, because of the previous Knights' attack on the city, it surged all at once, even exceeding 90%!"

"But now, I don't know if there is any new progress. The data shows that he has lowered it a little bit."

"Now it's 85%!"

"..."

The young man was slightly surprised. "85... is this beyond the limit of recruitment?"

"Yes!"

The tall senior nodded. "And our job is to steal... observe him and see if we can lower him a little more."

"Judging from the performance of this mission, I think there is no problem in reducing it by 5%."

"..."

"It's just 5%, it's less..."

When faced with different opinions, the young man felt that the issue of whether he could pass the internship period was not important, and continued to argue weakly, "I think he is very gentle and kind, and he has been protecting others as much as possible..."

"And from receiving this task to the final handling, he has done much better than ordinary people..."

"..."

"You're right, but you're missing one detail."

The slightly fat staff member slowly spoke, "When he was finally threatened by the 'ghost' ability user who took him hostage, it seemed that he first used words to intimidate the ability user, and then took advantage of his unpreparedness and suddenly took action and locked him in a human body."

"The specifics of how he did it are beyond the scope of our work and will not be discussed."

"But what worries me the most is that he didn't react at all to the other party threatening him with hostages."

"You can understand that this is him breaking down the opponent's psychological defense, but what if... he really doesn't care?"

"..."

When the young man heard this, he suddenly couldn't speak anymore.

It seems very contradictory for a person who cares so much about others to show his indifference to the hostages.

"I have a different opinion on this point..."

The tall senior on the side frowned and said, "Although it is possible, the possibility is relatively low..."

The fat senior said, "It's possible to be low..."

The tall senior said, "Let's put it this way, everyone in this world may be a pervert. Just pick the smallest chance. This kid snatched a candy from another kid. Should I suspect that he will definitely be a criminal when he grows up and eliminate him in advance?"

The slightly chubby senior said, "Hmm... that makes sense, what do you mean?"

"Turn it up higher?"

"How about forgetting it this time? Every time we change the rating, we have to write an extra report..."

"Then give him a higher level next time to neutralize it?"

"I think it's okay."

"..."

The young man who had just felt a little admiration in his heart was confused again. "Isn't this still a result achieved through discussion?"

"Drive, drive..."

The two seniors had already reached the final answer at this time, shouting in a low voice, "He just chose to accept another task."

"It looks like we are going to Satellite City No. 4..."

"..."

At the same time, the motorcycle stopped near the Guard Department. Lu Xin was riding on the car under a street lamp. He looked carefully at a small display screen embedded in the card slot on his arm. On it was the information that Han Bing had just sent to him. The content was at his request. Han Bing tried his best to help him choose field tasks that would contribute more points.

"Satellite City No. 4 is an alcoholic. Are you applying to transfer a Spider-type ability user to assist?"

"..."

In the channel, Han Bing added softly, "The source of this pollution incident was an unexplained assassination of a business owner in Satellite City No. 4. The incident was deemed abnormal by the investigation team, and the drunkard was responsible for the investigation. After a month, she found some useful clues and was ready to clean up the opponent at once, so she sent a request for help to the headquarters..."

Lu Xin nodded, slowly swiping the screen, and saw some criminal case information that happened not long ago. "The general manager of Satellite City No. 4 Yinhuan Business Co., Ltd. was killed under the protection of bodyguards. The doors and windows were not damaged, and his head was lost..."

"Red Vest Brotherhood members of illegal and criminal organizations were massacred and their limbs were arranged like potted plants?"

"Crimson Moon Story Club Issue 3: Headless ghost wandering in Satellite City No. 4?"

"..."

Looking at this information, Lu Xin couldn't help but frown.

It was too messy. After just turning a few pages, he saw that some of these materials were murder cases reported by regular newspapers, as well as records of strange events that were strictly forbidden to be leaked as internal materials, and even urban legends published in story clubs...

How could these unrelated things come together?

"These are submitted to headquarters by drunkards."

Han Bing explained softly, "The alcoholic himself is Level 3 Special Talent and has a high degree of autonomy. After she took over the matter, she was fully responsible for it. Even the information we have on hand now was submitted by her. Therefore, our information team has not received a report on the specific progress of the matter. We only know that this matter is very important and the level of harm..."

After a slight pause, she said, "It's set at level three."

"Level three?"

Lu Xin was slightly moved. "Then..."

Han Bing's voice became lighter and he said, "The overall reward has reached one million, and there are one hundred contribution points."

"For Qinggang City, this is a big deal."

Han Bing said, "It stands to reason that if an alcoholic applies for assistance from a person with Spider-type ability, the first candidate will be Mr. Gecko..."

Lu Xin nodded. Judging from the information, Gecko is Level 3 Special Talent, which is indeed higher than him.

Then there was something strange. "Then why can I come next?"

"Because..."

Han Bing seemed to be holding back his laughter and said, "Mr. Gecko has always been afraid of drunkards and acted very resistant. Considering the handling of the Mental Pollution incident, the emotions of the capable people on both sides of the cooperation are also a factor that needs to be seriously considered, so there is no difficulty for him."

"Why? Aren't drunkards pretty good-looking..."

Lu Xin was slightly surprised, but for him, this decision was not difficult to make. "But it doesn't matter, I'll just go there..."

Millions of dollars in remuneration or whatever, it really doesn't matter.

The important thing is, one hundred contribution points.

I am only forty-five short of reaching level three. If I could get half of it...

Han Bing smiled and said, "Okay, I will inform the drunkard."

"That..."

Lu Xin, who originally thought the reward was not important, paused for a moment and asked, "Not only the contribution points, but the reward will also be shared with me, right?"

"I will..."

Han Bing smiled happily, "Drunkard has always been a very generous person."

PS friends, around the 100th chapter, the strange painted picture of the face stitched under the south wall has been drawn. Yes, it is the one that was abused by my sister.
