The Nation's Strategy

After Wang An returned to the Special Resources Administration and Recovery Department, he sent out the [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman] he had drawn over the past few days through official channels before leaving.

Director Yuan's previous report to headquarters only received a response from the Director-General: "Let's wait and see." Nothing more was said.

He was somewhat puzzled by the higher-ups' attitude toward this matter. In his understanding, such talent should be recruited and brought into the national system as soon as possible. If other forces were to take advantage of the situation, it would be a huge loss for the country.

However, what he didn't know was that in the capital, in a conference room with extremely strict security measures...

The sign hanging outside the door reads "[National Crisis Response Group]", and all team members are now present.

Shi Jianjun, Director-General of the Recovery Department, Li Zhonghua, Chief Scientist of the Profession Research Institute, are introducing the project to the group members.

At the front of the council chamber was a huge display screen showing a high-resolution photograph of the [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman] and a photo of a young man dressed as a Daoist priest with his long hair tied back.

This is precisely the facade Wang An is projecting as An Ran.

Shi Jianjun spoke first.

"Based on the information currently available, this person named An Ran suddenly appeared in the Changnan villa area, and her identity is very likely fabricated. Her specific personal attributes are still unknown, and her occupation cannot be verified based on the current information."

One of the team members, dressed in military uniform, frowned slightly upon hearing this; there was no useful information to be found.

"The national security authorities should be able to find out. However, since the other party is concealing their identity, should we continue the investigation? We should know that these days, Western countries have been frequently contacting those professional individuals in the private sector."

The head of national security was here, and he presented a detailed analysis report.

"Based on their activity patterns, their approximate residence has been determined, narrowing down the search and identifying individuals matching the identified characteristics."

"We conducted a screening in the villa area where it first appeared."

Facial recognition was used to search for his activities, but no other activity was found elsewhere.

It can be basically concluded that this face is a disguise.

"At the same time, data on their behavioral habits, gait, height, and weight were compared and screened from multiple sources."

A third image appeared on the screen; it was a photograph of Wang An.

Then another string of identity information popped up.

From Wang An's birth to university, he used a meteorite to trade for 100,000 yuan, and later founded a company and moved to a villa area to rent a place.

Furthermore, his frequent activities in the surrounding mountains and forests, the recent gains of his company [Changnan Interstellar], and the situation of his newly established company [Deep Realm Ecology] working on a mine hotel project, have thoroughly uncovered most of Wang An's affairs.

After reviewing Wang An's information in detail, everyone present breathed a sigh of relief upon finding that he did not exhibit any obvious antisocial behavior.

However, Guoan has not provided concrete evidence to confirm that An Ran is indeed Wang An; everyone present simply understands what that means.

As long as An Ran's identity remains undiscovered, this identity will serve as a buffer between the state and the individual, preventing them from reaching a dead end due to unforeseen circumstances.

For these people, as long as they don't harbor hatred towards the country or have a Western bias, then no matter how talented or extraordinary someone is, in such a large country, who can't be accommodated?

Shi Jianjun then spoke up, "Should we recruit them?"

The others present had different opinions on this.

After all, if someone wants to join, they won't hide their identity. Recruiting someone who is focused on cultivation into the system might backfire.

After a period of discussion, the group leader, who was at the head of the group, spoke up and made a decision.

"Since others don't want to come in, don't force them. Just keep a close eye on them."

"We can purchase a batch of Spirit-Nurturing Talisman from the Recovery Department to demonstrate our country's goodwill towards talent."

Since the team leader had already made the decision, the others stopped discussing it.

After this matter was concluded, Li Zhonghua, the chief scientist of the Profession Research Institute, began to explain to them the specific effects and functions of the talisman.

"Wang An... Master An Ran calls this talisman the [Greater Yin Spirit-Nurturing Talisman]. Its main function is to increase the cultivation speed of divine attributes. Divine attributes below 2 points can be increased by 0.01 within a day."

Even those present who had already read the previously submitted reports...

However, this effect was clearly confirmed after repeated verification, and people were somewhat surprised by this item that accelerated cultivation by using external objects.

After all, based on the information they have gathered so far, no rare and precious materials have appeared that can enhance the three-dimensional attributes of cultivation.

Even other Daoist talismans can nourish the spirit, but their duration and effectiveness are extremely weak.

If it weren't for the current Profession Panel that provides real-time feedback on the improvement of the three-dimensional attributes,

Whether those talismans are effective or not is still uncertain.

"Could someone else draw this kind of symbol?" someone asked.

Li Zhonghua thought for a moment and then answered.

"Currently, it seems extremely difficult. For an ordinary person, simply observing the core runes for an extended period would consume a tremendous amount of mental energy, let alone learning them."

Others weren't very clear on this, but Shi Jianjun, as the director-general of the Recovery Department, had some understanding of cultivation-related professions, he said.

"Perhaps those with professions related to Daoist cultivation might learn to draw these talismans."

The head of the Academy of Sciences was extremely interested in this symbol.

"We can also approach it from a scientific research perspective and see if we can study its underlying principles."

The others fell into deep thought.

Having learned this much, everyone can now be fairly certain that this is a rare, difficult-to-replicate, and high-barrier technology—an important resource that has practical value for both professionals and ordinary people.

Just like the rare earth purification technology needed by various high-tech fields today, the same applies to the Spirit-Nurturing Talisman that enhances Spirit Refinement attributes, which is essential for all professionals.

Scientists who want to land high-level jobs these days are basically stuck on the "divine attribute" requirement.

Even though the government has already provided a full range of techniques and medicinal herbs.

To raise one's divine attribute to 1.5 or higher, it would take at least six months, depending on the individual's understanding of the cultivation technique.

Therefore, currently, only a very small number of people actually hold high-level scientific research positions.

Their significantly improved research capabilities after taking office have solidified the nation's commitment to making the training of research professionals a top priority.

However, starting today, the Class Change Stone resources may shift slightly.

After more than an hour of discussion, the head of the Crisis Response Group stood up and made the announcement.

"From now on, form Special Resources Research Group."
