Life Development Power Increase!

"Qin Annian, what's your Life Development Power now?"

"I don't know."

"Do you want to take the exam for our Operations Division?"

"If I get the chance."

Qin Annian felt that Lin Xiao was like a piece of sticky plaster he just couldn't shake off.

He was only a temporary worker.

Why would a young man from the Operations Division's Assault Team, who was clearly valued by Captain Chen, approach him for no reason?

Suddenly.

Qin Annian stopped walking.

A number of people had gathered in front of the notice board on the corridor wall.

Even Lin Xiao finally shifted his attention away from Qin Annian.

"It's the announcement for the Operations Division director selection."

He looked toward the notice board, longing in his eyes.

"Qin Annian, do you know how many past directors of our Security Bureau once served as director of the Operations Division?"

Without waiting for Qin Annian to answer.

Lin Xiao answered his own question.

"Only two bureau directors never served as director of the Operations Division!"

In other words.

As long as one secured that position.

They were destined to become one of Taiyu City's influential figures in the future!

Qin Annian raised an eyebrow slightly.

Did the chief peace officer in the peace officer system have that little prestige?

Seeing Qin Annian pass the notice board and stand before the uniform mirror to straighten his attire.

Lin Xiao hurried after him and said quietly.

"I'll be waiting for you in the Operations Division."

With that.

After tidying his appearance, Lin Xiao jogged toward the building to the east.

Qin Annian withdrew his gaze from his handsome reflection and walked steadily toward the Testing Room.

Two Security Bureau staff members were already lined up ahead of Qin Annian.

Both believed their Life Development Power had recently increased and had eagerly come for testing the very next day after work.

One after another, four or five more people arrived behind Qin Annian.

"My Life Development Power should have surpassed 13 by now."

"I practiced Standing Posture last night, and I feel like I stayed in my Spirit Sea for at least an hour!"

Someone said excitedly in a low voice.

"Gasp!"

"That long?"

"When I enter the Spirit Sea now, I can only stay for forty-five minutes at most."

"Every extra second spent in the Spirit Sea is a huge improvement."

Amid the conversation.

It was finally Qin Annian's turn.

Once Qin Annian disappeared behind the door.

"That kid's a temporary worker, right?"

"We've seen plenty like him. They all hope their Life Development Power can exceed 10 so they can take the Operations Division exam and become full employees."

"Hard."

"Temporary worker contracts are renewed every three months. If someone could really raise their Life Development Power to 10 within three months, they wouldn't be a temporary worker in the first place."

"I remember that over all these years, only one temporary worker in the bureau ever became a full employee, right?"

"They have to be left with some fantasy, don't they?"

"Otherwise, where would the higher-ups find so many temporary workers to fire?"

Qin Annian did not hear the conversation that followed.

But.

Even if he had heard it.

He would not have cared.

At that moment.

Three green beams swept over Qin Annian's entire body from head to toe.

Ten seconds later.

The Personal Terminal on his wrist vibrated softly.

"11.7?"

Qin Annian was fairly satisfied as he looked at the number on the screen.

"One night of Standing Posture raised it by nearly two points."

"But."

"That was because last night was my first time practicing the Iron Man stance, which was why such a huge transformation occurred."

"It can't be treated as normal."

Looking at the option on his terminal asking whether to update the data.

He chose to update it without hesitation.

If he still tried to play the weak and hide his strength at a time like this, he might actually be treated like a pig and driven out of the Security Bureau.

Just as he finished updating his Life Development Power data, another message arrived on his terminal.

"Peace Officer Zhao Daming has sent you an invitation for instruction."

Guidance from a peace officer was originally one of the benefits afforded to temporary workers.

After all.

Outside the bureau.

A single private martial artist lesson cost more than a thousand.

Yet in the more than two months since Qin Annian joined, Zhao Daming had never once mentioned it.

Clearly.

Zhao Daming wanted to use this opportunity to teach him a lesson and get revenge.

"Heh!"

"I was just worrying about how strong my combat ability really is."

"Talk about perfect timing."

Qin Annian tapped accept and turned to leave the Testing Room.

Meanwhile.

Below the Teaching Arena.

Zhao Daming looked at the message on his terminal, surprise flashing through his bloodshot eyes.

Then.

It turned into cruelty.

"Good!"

"Cocky enough!"

"Reckless enough!"

Zhao Daming gritted his teeth and performed a series of operations on his Personal Terminal.

He directly changed this private instruction session into a public class.

In an instant.

It caused a stir on the Security Bureau forum!

"Zhao Daming? A public class?"

"You've got to be kidding. He's a peace officer with a Life Development Power of 12. Is he even qualified to hold a public class?"

"Wait, isn't this Zhao Daming the peace officer who got shut down by a temporary worker at the gate earlier?"

"It really is him!"

The conflict at the gate had attracted quite a bit of attention.

A mere temporary worker had actually dared to talk back to a peace officer?

Wasn't that outrageously bold?

While enjoying the spectacle, no one minded treating Zhao Daming as a joke.

They just had not expected.

There would actually be a follow-up?

"Interesting."

"There's still some time before training and missions. Let's go see the show."

"Come on, let's go together."

"Oh, right. Remember to contact the medical team. Don't let anyone actually die."

"I'm on the medical team. I'm already at the Teaching Arena!"

The usually quiet forum was unusually lively.

More and more people rushed to the Teaching Arena, which had originally held only three or five people.

Seeing that his goal was already halfway achieved.

The cold smile on Zhao Daming's lips would not go away.

"Qin."

"If I don't cripple you today, I'll be your son!"

Gritting his teeth.

Hostility churned within Zhao Daming's heart!

Whoosh!

As Zhao Daming imagined Qin Annian's miserable fate, a commotion rose from the crowd.

The onlookers all turned their gazes toward the young man with an expressionless face and relaxed steps.

"Qin Annian!"

Boom!

Seeing someone who was no different from his enemy approaching with such an indifferent expression.

Zhao Daming felt as though a fire had exploded to life inside his heart!

He leaped onto the Teaching Arena and pointed at Qin Annian as he shouted.

"Get up here!"

The onlookers whispered among themselves, while some searched Qin Annian's information on their Personal Terminals.

"So this temporary worker is called Qin Annian?"

"He's fairly good-looking, but he's a little too full of himself."

"A temporary worker should stick to a temporary worker's duties. Isn't he just asking for trouble now?"

Suddenly.

The speaker's sleeve was tugged.

"What is it?"

He looked confused.

Then he noticed that his friend looked as though he had seen a ghost.

"This?"

"This!"

His friend raised his trembling arm, nearly shoving the Personal Terminal into his face.

"What is it?"

He grabbed his friend's wrist and looked at the Personal Terminal screen.

[Name: Qin Annian.]

[Temporary Worker: No. 4396.]

[Life Development Power: 11.7.]

In that instant!

He felt as though he could no longer think!

On the Teaching Arena.

Zhao Daming looked at Qin Annian standing before him, an impatiently cruel smile already spreading across his lips.

"Learning martial arts."

"The first step."

"Is learning how to take a beating!!!"
