"Can Wealth Disrupts Space-Time send me directly into the future?"
Su Wen's pupils contracted, and his eyes filled with shock.
Was this how powerful the attribute panel was?
Was the God of Wealth the only one this powerful, or did other classes also have innate abilities like Wealth Flows In?
If everyone had the ability to travel into the future, even if it was only space-time travel like in a tabletop RPG, that alone would be enough to shock people.
Even if only a small number of people harbored ill intentions, they could throw the whole world into chaos.
Most importantly, if everyone had the ability to travel freely into the future, the state's control over attribute panels would gradually drop to freezing point as time passed.
But if only the God of Wealth had the innate ability Wealth Disrupts Space-Time, the ability to travel into the future, then...
"How do you feel?"
Seeing the strange look on Su Wen's face, the police officer picked up a pen and asked, "Here's what we'll do. Because your class is special, I'll just record some basic information and won't ask too much. We're just going through the procedure. I'll ask, and you answer."
"Do you feel that your physical fitness has improved? Or that your overall abilities, such as your eyesight, hearing, and perception, have improved?"
Su Wen closed his eyes at the question. A moment later, he said softly, "No."
"Do you have the ability to control elements like water or fire?"
"No."
"Do you have the ability to induce hallucinations by creating illusory scenes?"
"No."
"Do all your sensations right now feel similar to how they did when you were an ordinary person?"
"Similar."
"..."
The police officer continued asking Su Wen questions. After the last one, he began writing down information in his notebook.
A moment later, the officer looked up at Su Wen and said softly, "You don't need to be too nervous. Your class is the God of Wealth, so there are some things I can't ask. In a couple of days, a specialist will assess your abilities."
"Perhaps your power is hidden in some way. Once the specialist has completed the assessment, they'll give you the answers you need."
"Hmm... here, sign your name, and then you can go home."
"Come back to the station tomorrow at three in the afternoon."
"Of course, if you feel unwell in any way during that time, be sure to let us know promptly."
Su Wen nodded, then signed his name on several documents as the officer instructed.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Li Wenze."
After putting away the documents, the officer smiled and said, "Both our names have Wen in them. That's quite a bit of fate."
Su Wen smiled. "Brother Li, I don't need to introduce myself, do I?"
"Of course not."
"By the way, Brother Li, what am I coming back to the police station for tomorrow?"
Li Wenze tapped the earpiece on his left ear. "I just received word. You're pretty lucky."
"An inspector happens to be passing through Jiang City tomorrow, and he'll give you an assessment."
"Really? I'm that lucky?"
"By the way, didn't you just agree to join a state organization?"
"Yes."
Su Wen nodded. A state iron rice bowl offered security no matter what happened, didn't it?
Li Wenze glanced at Su Wen and smiled. "Since you've chosen to join, why not consider our police system?"
"To be honest, the one million we used to test your abilities came from the station's public account. If you join the police system, we can apply for reimbursement directly, and even apply for better benefits for you."
"Likewise, if you join another administrative system, we'll have to submit the expense for reimbursement, and after it's reviewed, it'll be transferred to the other administrative system."
"It's complicated, and with the handover, approvals, administration, and everything else, it's not very efficient. Besides, the benefits you'd get in another system might be about the same as here."
Li Wenze paused, then looked at Su Wen and said seriously, "So over there, you might have to wait a while before receiving training, and the related benefits would come even later."
"But it's different here. As long as you agree to join the police system, we'll give you benefits right away. We've even drafted the terms and documents."
"Well? Would you like to take a look?"
"If you're not satisfied, you can say so. We can still amend the relevant terms."
Su Wen was slightly taken aback. It seemed he was in high demand!
But judging by the officer's attitude, Heavenly Mandate Bearers probably weren't especially rare. In that case, it seemed perfectly normal for the various state systems to have their own Heavenly Mandate Bearers.
Hmm... if I join the police station, I won't have to wait for approval, and I can get funding allocated to me right away?
"I really think you should give this some serious thought. Really, I'm doing this for your own good. Think about it..."
Li Wenze was still speaking when he suddenly frowned.
He then turned his head slightly and argued in a low voice that Su Wen couldn't hear.
After a while, Li Wenze finished the conversation and sighed softly. "All right, let's leave our conversation there. After you go out in a moment, I'll take you to get a handbook. Make sure you read it carefully."
"There's been a small unexpected development. You're short on time. Tonight should be your first time entering a Rule Vector Mirror. Be sure to stay safe and come back in one piece!"
"Hmm... you probably don't understand what a Rule Vector Mirror is yet. You've played games, right?"
"Think of a Rule Vector Mirror as a dungeon in a game. You'll be summoned tonight to enter a dungeon. Once you clear tonight's dungeon, you should be able to advance a tier."
Su Wen fell into thought at this. Then he saw Li Wenze take a blue book from a nearby shelf.
"This book is officially titled Basic Understanding of the Destined. It gives a general introduction to some of the rules of Rule Vector Mirrors, as well as effective ways to survive in them."
Li Wenze handed the booklet to Su Wen as he spoke.
"Thanks, Brother Li."
Su Wen took the booklet and spoke.
Li Wenze smiled easily. "Don't be too nervous. We've all been through this. But don't underestimate Rule Vector Mirrors either, or you'll pay a painful price in one."
"Brother Li, could you... do me a favor?"
"Go ahead."
"Lend me some money."
"..."
At the entrance to the police station, Li Wenze silently watched Su Wen leave in a taxi.
"Director Fu, why didn't we take the opportunity to recruit a Heavenly Mandate Bearer with the God of Wealth class into the police system?"
Li Wenze looked at the middle-aged man behind him and asked, "After you learned his class was the God of Wealth, didn't you immediately order me to tell Su Wen about our police department? You even prepared his benefits and contract, didn't you?"
"I don't mean to give up on Su Wen. It's just that a message came from above a moment ago."
After a moment of silence, Director Fu said, "This God of Wealth has already caught the attention of those at the very top."
"Next, a Heavenly Mandate Bearer responsible for the God of Wealth will arrive. Besides, we don't understand the God of Wealth either... faced with the God of Wealth's trial tonight, wasn't all you could do lend Su Wen some money?"
With that, Director Fu turned and walked into the police station.
After Su Wen returned to his rented room, he summoned his attribute panel with a thought.
"Wealth Source Points: 0.3." [Wealth Disrupts Space-Time (activated)] [Money Breaks Yin and Yang (not activated)]
Su Wen stared blankly at the attribute panel for a while, then sat down on a stool and took out the blue booklet, ready to read it carefully.
He would be entering a Rule Vector Mirror that evening. Before going in, it was best to learn the basic rules the authorities had compiled.
"Ding! The item's storage time is about to exceed the limit for a zeroth-tier God of Wealth."
"To continue storing it, please pay wealth source value."
An icy notification sounded in Su Wen's mind. Before he could react, a bloodstained jade fragment appeared directly in his hand.
