Two Choices

The information on the blue panel—

Name: Xia Ke

Level: F-

Talent: Thousand Spirit Illusory Eyes

Evaluation: This is a woman with excellent talent, but her level is far lower than yours. If you completely dominate her, you will gain 100 Resource Points.

"Thousand Spirit Illusory Eyes? That sounds a bit mysterious, but it actually makes sense!"

Su Li glanced at Xia Ke, who was talking with Secretary Wang, and muttered to himself in surprise.

"Alright, alright, leave your talent slot empty for now. I'll find an experimental subject for you in a couple of days, and then you can come and try it out!"

Secretary Wang eventually gave up on exploring Xia Ke's talent. After all, she didn't want to use herself as an experiment, and Xia Ke didn't want to use Su Li as a test subject. It was impossible to figure out what Xia Ke's talent was today.

As for the others in the Detective Bureau?

Secretary Wang stated that in the entire Detective Bureau now, besides the three of them, only Director Ye was left. Was she going to have Director Ye test it? That was a joke!

After recording the information of the two, Secretary Wang led them to her office.

"Both of you are now officially recognized Superhumans by the country. Congratulations!" Secretary Wang said with a smile.

"Congratulations to you too!"

"Now, you have two choices. One is to just go back and live as law-abiding citizens, but using superpowers privately is illegal!" Secretary Wang added.

"As for the second choice, it's to join the Detective Bureau now and enjoy a series of exclusive benefits! Of course, you'll also have to bear a few obligations. The Detective Bureau is currently recruiting talented individuals, and we are in need of excellent talents like you. Joining now is definitely a profitable deal!"

"Like yesterday, Liu Feng, that student from the sports department of your Donghai University who is hailed as China's first Superhuman, has already officially joined us!"

"..."

Su Li understood. Secretary Wang had said a lot of nonsense, essentially trying to trick them into joining the Detective Bureau.

"But we are still students!" Su Li said.

"That's not a problem. After joining the Detective Bureau, you will only need to undergo one month of professional training at the beginning. After that, your time is yours to manage freely, and it won't affect anything!"

"Heh heh!"

Su Li chuckled, clearly not believing a word of it.

Looking at the current small and insignificant state of the Detective Bureau, he knew they wouldn't be idle if they joined.

This Secretary Wang was just eager to find two people to take the blame for her, wasn't she?

After all, Director Ye would definitely not do the grunt work, so Secretary Wang must have been having a miserable time working alone here.

Su Li had originally thought the Detective Bureau wouldn't be too small when he saw Ye Mohan was an E+, but now it seemed... tsk tsk!

However, this was normal.

If Superpower Technology had only appeared for two years, how many Superhumans could the country have cultivated in such a short period, even with full support?

Especially for someone like Ye Mohan, an E+, if she relied on energy potions sold on Taobao to speed up her advancement, who knew how many she had to drink to reach E+?

Calculating the cost, it would be an astronomical figure!

How many prefecture-level cities are there in China?

661 prefecture-level cities!

And how many county-level cities are under the jurisdiction of these prefecture-level cities?

Over two thousand!

With the announcement of Superpower Technology, someone had to be stationed in these places, right?

Even if most places only had F+ individuals, and E-Class individuals were only sent to some major cities, it would still be an astronomical number!

So, the current situation was truly normal.

However, when the number of Superhumans among ordinary people exploded, this situation would likely be alleviated.

"Don't rush, just listen to our benefits first!" Secretary Wang chuckled and continued.

"By joining the Detective Bureau, you will first become a formal civil servant, and our salaries are much higher than those of ordinary civil servants. You'll receive all sorts of benefits like social insurance and housing funds, enough to make your hands go numb."

"How about it? I heard it's hard for university students to find jobs nowadays!"

"We're not from the sports department! Have you ever heard of graduates from Donghai University not being able to find jobs, Miss Secretary?" Su Li asked.

"Is that so?"

"En!" Xia Ke nodded with certainty.

"This is really difficult!" Secretary Wang rubbed her forehead. After a moment, she spoke again.

"Actually, I'm not forcing you to join, but I still feel it's a pity for you. After all, you're missing out on an opportunity to advance further on the path of a Superhuman!"

"Huh? Why?" Xia Ke, who hadn't been paying much attention before, suddenly became a little nervous.

"Then I'll give you a rundown on Superpower Technology!" Secretary Wang said calmly.

"Over the past two years, based on our research into Superhumans, we've made detailed classifications of their ranks. Those like you who have just become Superhumans are called beginner Superhumans, followed by intermediate, advanced, and even... Super-class Superhumans!"

Listening to Secretary Wang, Su Li knew instantly what she was going to say!

The progress of Superhumans couldn't be achieved without Guidance Techniques and Gene Blueprints.

Guidance Techniques were fine. Although the Breathing Technique released now was inferior, it could still be used as an F-class Guidance Technique!

But the Gene Blueprint...

Without this thing, unless a miracle happened, an F-class Superhuman would never be able to break through to E-class in their lifetime.

This was probably why the country felt at ease releasing the Breathing Technique. In reality, as long as they weren't E-class Superhumans, there wasn't much they could do. Unless their talent was heaven-defying, F-class Superhumans wouldn't have a significant advantage against modern weaponry!

Just as Su Li had thought, Secretary Wang explained the matters of Guidance Techniques and Gene Blueprints to the two of them. As for the Super-class Superhumans she mentioned...

enmmmmm

The name sounded imposing, but in reality, it just meant E-class.

"Compared to the proper Guidance Techniques, your Breathing Technique's efficiency is worlds apart. It's very, very difficult to progress! Furthermore, without the Gene Blueprint, Superhumans absolutely, absolutely cannot break through to Super-class!"

Using "very difficult" twice and "absolutely" twice, Secretary Wang conveyed her meaning thoroughly.

At this moment, Xia Ke was already tightly gripping Su Li's hand, and Su Li could feel that she was about to agree right then and there!

"Ahem, Secretary Wang, how about this? Give us some time to go back and discuss it. What do you think?" Su Li asked.

"Of course!"

Seeing Su Li waver, Secretary Wang's smile instantly grew even brighter.
