Reception room.
After the others left, the remaining two figures sat quietly by the tea table.
Recalling their recent conversation, Le Xiangwen turned to look at his daughter sitting beside him and asked:
If you had to choose, where would you go?
Le Gu Nan gently raised his head and glanced back at his father, then lowered his head again, hesitated for a moment, and said:
"I'll probably choose to go to the Capital Supervision Bureau or the Research Department!"
Although Le Gu Nan gave the answer he wanted, Le Xiangwen didn't feel happy; instead, he gave a bitter smile.
He had always been quite proud of Le Gu Nan, as she was well-behaved and did a good job in all aspects.
It wasn't until someone pointed it out today that he realized Le Gu Nan was not just obedient, but rather excessively docile!
Actually, this personality isn't bad, but this personality in the future...
Le Xiangwen sighed deeply.
When did it become like this?
He could hardly remember anymore; his busy work and life left him with little time to care for his daughter, so he could only educate her in the same way he had been educated.
But now...
Is there something wrong with my parenting style?
But I was raised the same way, and I never experienced this problem...
Noticing that her father was acting strangely, Le Gu Nan gently turned her head.
The intelligent girl quickly figured out the problem that was troubling her father.
After a moment of silence, she spoke softly:
"If I could... I'd like to stay in Linhai!"
Le Xiangwen turned to look at Le Gu Nan, only to see that she was still looking down and did not dare to meet his eyes.
Is this your true feeling?
Le Gu Nan hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly.
"I see!"
Le Xiangwen nodded slightly, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.
He leaned back in his chair, tilted his head back, and closed his eyes slightly as he pondered.
The role of the Supervision Bureau will likely become increasingly important in the future, so it is essential to keep Gu Nan in the relevant department.
Should I go to the Research Department recommended by that young man?
With Gu Nan's abilities, he should be able to do very well in the Research Department, but...
Considering the uncertain future, Le Xiangwen still hopes that his daughter will have some ability to protect herself in the future.
In that case, the only option is the Supervision Bureau.
As for the Supervision Bureau, should I send Le Gu Nan to the Capital Supervision Bureau as originally intended?
If Le Xiangwen hadn't noticed his daughter's overly docile nature, he might very well have chosen this option, but now...
If she were actually sent to the Capital Supervision Bureau, her personality would likely remain as overly docile as it is now.
But if we stay in Linhai...
Thinking of that young man with black hair just now...
Three years!
A slightly weary voice rang out in the reception room.
Le Gu Nan gently turned her head and saw that her father was still leaning back.
"Three years from now, I will re-evaluate your abilities. If you are still not qualified by then, you will be transferred to the Research Department!"
Le Gu Nan sat there blankly, staring at his father in disbelief.
"What, didn't you hear me?"
The voices came again, and this time Le Gu Nan reacted.
A slight smile curved her lips.
"Yes, thank you, Dad!"
"Alright, if there's nothing else, you can leave now!" Le Xiangwen waved his hand.
Le Gu Nan nodded slightly, got up and walked outside. Just as she was about to leave, another voice came from behind her.
"I'll try to mind my own business less in the future, but there are still some things I need to do. For example, if you're home in the evening, remember to greet your grandfather!"
Le Gu Nan nodded slightly.
"Yes, I understand!"
Several days later.
The black car was speeding towards the mission location.
Han Ling turned to look at Wang Hai, who was sitting in the driver's seat, and asked.
"Captain, when is Gu Nan arriving?"
"They said they'd start coming next Monday!" Wang Hai replied.
"That's great! Then our Linhai Supervision Bureau will finally have a second female member!" Han Ling said happily.
However, the men in the car clearly couldn't understand her joy.
Seeing this, Han Ling glanced somewhat listlessly at Shen Heng sitting in the back seat and the thing in his hand, and asked:
" Shen Heng, why have you been carrying around a ball in your hand all the time lately?"
Shen Heng turned his head, withdrawing his gaze from the window and looking at Han Ling.
"Cultivate to improve your control over Origin Power!"
As he spoke, the ball in his hand wobbled slightly because of his distraction.
Shen Heng slightly adjusted the flow of Origin Power in his hand, making it stable again.
"Improve your control over Origin Power?" Han Ling looked at the ball in Shen Heng's hand with some doubt. "How... how do I improve that?"
Just as Shen Heng was about to explain, he paused, looking at Han Ling with some surprise:
Don't you know?
"Should I know?" Han Ling blinked.
"This is from a document on the Martial World Easy Exchange," Shen Heng replied.
"Documents? Aren't they combat techniques?" Han Ling frowned slightly.
"It's not a combat technique, it's a document called the ' White Paper on Basic Origin Power Research '!" Shen Heng replied.
White Paper on Basic Origin Power Research? Is such a thing still available on the Martial World Easy Exchange?... Han Ling frowned slightly as she pondered.
"Hmm... On the Martial World Easy Exchange, it's called ' Current Origin Power Research Results '," Shen Heng added.
"Oh, this? I was saying..." Han Ling suddenly stopped halfway through her sentence.
Shen Heng looked over with some curiosity.
Han Ling smiled somewhat awkwardly and asked:
"Hey, why would you exchange for that stuff? You're not a researcher!"
Shen Heng paused for a moment upon hearing this. He couldn't very well tell Han Ling that he was too poor to exchange for a ready-made combat skill, so he found another way to exchange for this one, could he?
"I want to deepen my understanding of Origin Power!"
"Oh, I see!"
Han Ling nodded as if she understood, then gently turned her head and looked out the car window.
She suddenly remembered seeing that thing before and chuckled, "Only professional researchers and fools would exchange for that information."
Researchers have access to free materials and don't need to exchange them, so only a fool would exchange them.
Unexpectedly, Shen Heng, whom she regarded as a smart person, actually went to exchange for it and even discovered the secret that it could be used to become stronger!
Is this the world of intelligent people?
They firmly believe that knowledge can be transformed into power.
Wang Hai glanced at the ball in Shen Heng's hand when he had a moment to spare.
Is this training useful?
"Hmm..." Shen Heng pondered for a moment, "If you're looking to directly boost your combat power with this, then it won't work, but it's still useful. It can enhance your control over Origin Power Origin Power and reduce its waste."
Wang Hai nodded without speaking, already thinking about how to have other people in the Supervision Bureau exchange for the document.
Shen Heng didn't offer any lectures.
Knowledge-based items redeemed through the Martial World Easy Exchange are prohibited from being shared with others in order to protect the intellectual property rights of creators.
Of course, you can teach secretly, but if you are discovered, both the learner and the teacher will have three times the points deducted from the corresponding item.
Shen Heng took a light breath, slowly turned his head to look out the window, and softly murmured the location of the mission he was going to.
" Hi Nest...?"
