Advice

A moment later.

Wu Ming and Jia Qingshan each went through the key points and taboos of the cultivation methods one by one before formally handing the two booklets to Zhao Minghui.

When Zhao Minghui took the two thin manuals, both his hands were trembling. He knew only too well how much weight they carried.

The Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula could shorten the time needed to become a Quasi-Martial Artist, while the Five Hearts Toward Heaven cultivation method perfectly continued the path toward becoming a Genetic Warrior.

Together, these two booklets formed a stairway leading directly to Genetic Warriors. Calling them treasures of the nation would not be an exaggeration.

"Student Wu, Master Jia, thank you so much for this."

Zhao Minghui could barely contain his excitement. "The nation will never forget your contributions. Name any request you have. So long as it does not violate our principles, the nation will fulfill it!"

"I don't really want anything right now." Wu Ming smiled and shook his head. "If I have to make a request, then carry out the plan to eliminate mutant creatures as soon as possible."

"I have a feeling that these mutant creatures will sooner or later become a grave threat to all humanity. Anything that can be resolved early must not be delayed."

"I feel the same way." Jia Qingshan said solemnly, "Today, I handed over my family's inheritance not for wealth or status, but because I wanted to do my part for the nation and its people."

"This set of secret techniques and medicinal formulas could at most produce a few Quasi-Martial Artists who had mastered Hidden Strength in the Jia Family. But if they are given to the nation, they can continuously cultivate Genetic Warriors."

"When the great catastrophe descends in the future, if Huaxia has one more Martial Artist step forward, perhaps tens of thousands of civilians can be saved. Only then will I not have failed the old master's final teachings."

Zhao Minghui put away the two manuals and nodded solemnly. "Your words have already been heard by those above."

"The chief instructed me to reply... Rest assured, the nation will fulfill this request at any cost!"

For him to say that proved that Wu Ming's plan of "lifting the ban and carrying out Nationwide Beast Eradication" had already won approval from above.

Of course, approval did not mean the nation would immediately act according to Wu Ming's suggestions. After all, he had only provided some rough ideas. The specific implementation still needed to be carefully discussed.

However, Wu Ming's own opinion remained extremely important. After the soldiers escorted the secret techniques away, Zhao Minghui specifically stayed behind to discuss the details of the plan with him.

Inside the martial arts hall's meeting room, the three of them held a discussion that lasted two hours. Though calling it a discussion was somewhat misleading—Wu Ming did most of the talking, Zhao Minghui took notes, and Jia Qingshan was merely there to join the fun.

Wu Ming had begun planning how to resolve the Beast Tide threat a month ago. Thus, when the nation asked for his opinion, he was fully prepared and spoke with confidence.

"There were too many people outside just now, so I didn't explain certain things in detail. But since those above want my opinion, I'll go over some specifics for your reference."

Wu Ming said, "As I mentioned earlier, to completely resolve the threat of land beasts, the gun ban must be lifted. Only by relying on the strength of the masses can it be done."

"But I also understand that if the ban is lifted directly, social unrest will be unavoidable."

"Therefore, the restrictions cannot be lifted all at once. They must be gradually lifted in batches for different groups of people."

"For example, the first group permitted to own guns could be veterans who have undergone the RR Virus transformation. Mr. Zhao, you said earlier that our country has over two million active-duty soldiers. But if we include those who have retired, the number should be considerable, right?"

"That's right." Zhao Minghui nodded. "A large number of soldiers retire every year. If we include all of them, we could increase our manpower by at least tenfold, reaching twenty-five million people."

"However, many of these veterans are fairly old and have already started families. If we call them back into service... I'm afraid not many would respond."

"That's fine. There's no need for them to reenlist." Wu Ming shook his head. "Rather than gathering them in one place, it would be more efficient to let them spread out and hunt on their own."

"Don't forget, among those mutant creatures, wild animals account for only a small portion. The real bulk is hidden in the cities. Stray cats and dogs are one thing, at least they can still be seen and touched."

"But what about rats? They hide in every corner of the city. How can the military deal with them? Are they supposed to rush into people's homes and start shooting?"

Zhao Minghui's expression froze, and cold sweat immediately broke out across his body.

He had indeed overlooked the problem of rats. He had only regarded wild animals as a threat, mainly because rats occupied such a low place in the ecosystem that humans, lofty as they were, had completely failed to notice the danger lurking in the shadows.

Only Wu Ming saw clearly that these inconspicuous rats would form terrifying Beast Tides in the future. Even the lowest Level 3 Beast Tide could completely overwhelm a Wargod Level expert.

He continued, "Therefore, I believe the active military can prioritize dealing with wild beast herds, especially those near human cities. While firearms are still effective, they should kill as much of the monsters' living force as possible."

"As for mutant creatures within the cities, leave them to those veterans. The nation can issue them Hunter Licenses. Only licensed hunters may legally purchase firearms and ammunition."

"As for the nation, it needs to gather all elite soldiers and grant them access to secret technique cultivation, striving to train a batch of Genetic Warriors in the shortest possible time."

"Oh, right. Don't forget the Internal Martial Arts circle. Martial Artists who have mastered Hidden Strength can quickly get started with the Jade Lock Golden Pass Formula. With a little training, they can gain the physical qualities of Quasi-Martial Artists and can practically be regarded as reserve Genetic Warriors."

Zhao Minghui was diligently taking notes. Hearing this, he nodded. "Understood. I'll have someone get in touch with them."

"Mm." Wu Ming nodded and continued, "Once the Genetic Warriors cultivated by the nation have achieved some success, you can reveal this news to the public."

"I suggest holding a livestream then, properly showcasing the strength of Martial Artists—especially their ability to withstand bullets with their bodies. Make the people across the country go wild, then secretly guide them into realizing that the nation possesses the secret to becoming Martial Artists."

"Once the topic has completely exploded in popularity, announce the existence of the cultivation methods at the right moment. Anyone who contributes to the nation will be qualified to exchange for the manuals."

"Then you can lift all restrictions in one stroke, allowing the public to purchase firearms themselves, kill stray animals in the cities, and exchange the corpses for contribution points to trade for manuals or cash."

"By then, with Genetic Warriors keeping watch from above, it will be enough to deter potential criminals. Even if they have guns, they will not dare act recklessly and will obediently complete their hunting tasks."

"Even if you truly encounter someone audacious enough to defy the law, you can make an example of them."

"Alright, my abilities are limited. That's all I can think of for now. I hope it can give those above some inspiration."

Wu Ming let out a soft breath and stretched. "Does Mr. Zhao have any other questions? If not, I should head back to cultivate."

Zhao Minghui looked at the densely packed notes in his hands, finding it difficult to imagine that so many suggestions had come from a senior high school student.

After reading them over several times, he closed his notebook and said, "Thank you for sharing, Student Wu. I will report these suggestions truthfully."
