Many children, many blessings; a stunningly beautiful wife is given to you right from the start.

With Lin Mo's confirmation, the Hegemony Points were deducted.

[Domination Points - 1000]

[Talent search in progress... beep beep beep...]

[A comprehensive evaluation is being conducted based on multiple dimensions, including "loyalty potential," "management ability," "intelligence level," "combat prowess," and "hidden traits"...]

[Evaluation model under construction... currently screening for "quiet, skilled, and non-clingy" S-level tools for you...]

[Match calculation in progress...]

A series of system notifications flashed through Lin Mo's mind.

On the map of mountains and rivers, the entire Iron Wall Pass was instantly covered by a layer of pale golden light.

Above the light net, dozens of light spots of varying sizes emerged, ranging from faint white light to bright green light.

[Ding! Search complete. 37 potential talents have been selected within the territory. Please evaluate them yourself. You deserve the joy of "opening blind boxes."]

"So many?"

Lin Mo thought the system would accurately search for several of the most suitable candidates for him.

I didn't expect to create so many, and I still have to filter them myself.

"Why is your system getting worse and worse?"

Lin Mo made a complaint, but then clicked on a green dot.

A panel popped up.

Name: Liu Mang

Age: 35

[Identity]: Second-in-command of the Fierce Tiger Gang

[Talent]: Deterrence (Success rate of intimidation and extortion +30%)

[Commander Effect]: Unlocks the "Violence for Violence" mode, increasing the deterrent effect of the town's security guards against criminals by 50%, but there is a 30% chance that they will embezzle fines, and the public morale will decrease by 10.

"Good heavens, putting the security guard of a KTV in charge of public order? What about public support? Next!"

Lin Mo crossed it out and opened another one.

Name: Chen Sheng

Age: 42

[Position]: Accountant at the front office of Wuzhong Prefecture

[Talent]: Accuracy (difficult to detect when falsifying accounts)

[Chief Officer Effect]: Zhenwu Division's file management efficiency +30%, with a 5% chance of embezzling operating funds each month.

"What use would I have for someone who falsifies accounts! If I let him manage the money, he'd be broke in no time!"

Lin Mo couldn't help but roll his eyes.

Immediately afterwards, he clicked on more than a dozen points of light, each one more abstract than the last.

There is a retired veteran whose talent is "addiction to alcohol," and the commander's effect is "the probability of all personnel slacking off and drinking while on duty increases by 20%."

There is a down-on-his-luck scholar whose talent is "classical Chinese phrases". His chief officer effect is "when interrogating criminals, he can make them confess by talking to them, but the time taken increases by 300%".

There's even a chef whose talent is "cooking with a wok," and his effect as the chief officer is "99% satisfaction with the food in the Zhenwu Division's canteen, but 10% weight gain for everyone."

"Am I recruiting a security supervisor or organizing a team-building event?"

Lin Mo felt his blood pressure was about to spike.

"In such a vast and impregnable place as the Iron Wall Pass, with a population of 100,000, is it possible to not find a single normal person?"

Just as Lin Mo was about to give up on this "talent blind box" function and was considering whether to transfer Feng Niang from Black Wind City.

His gaze inadvertently swept across a corner of the map.

In one of the most remote slums, a unique spot of light caught Lin Mo's attention.

Unlike other points of light, it is neither white nor green.

Instead, it's a... faint purple, exuding an SSR-like aura.

Lin Mo's heart stirred, and he immediately zoomed in to focus on the unique purple light spot.

The spot of light was located in the most dilapidated area in the west of the city, in an inconspicuous little courtyard.

Lin Mo's consciousness passed through the wall and entered the house in that courtyard.

Inside the house, a woman dressed in loose, worn-out clothes was holding a sleeping little girl, sitting on the cold earthen bed.

She seemed to sense something, and suddenly raised her head, her eyes instantly becoming sharp as she warily scanned her surroundings.

That face, bearing hideous scars, looked particularly terrifying in the dimly lit room.

"Is it her?"

Lin Mo couldn't help but speak up.

He didn't know the woman, but he recognized the little girl in her arms.

That very night, a little head popped out of the alley, looking pitifully at the little girl in his roasted lamb leg.

He remembered the little girl, and he also remembered the roasted lamb leg that he had thrown away.

"Is there anything special about this woman?"

"No matter how you look at it... she's just an ordinary, frail woman."

"Of course, the scars on her face are indeed impressive..."

Lin Mo muttered to himself.

Filled with doubt, he opened the woman's profile.

Name: Bai Zhi

Age: 36

[Identity]: Scarface Widow

[Talent]: Alertness (less susceptible to sneak attacks at night)

[Commander Effect]: The chance of spotting thieves during Zhen'an Guard patrols increases by 5%.

"this one?"

Looking at the unremarkable panel, Lin Mo's last bit of hope was shattered.

He even thought that this unique purple light was the chosen one.

So it turns out it means the worst attribute?

"Sigh... those 1000 Hegemony Points are basically wasted."

Lin Mo sighed helplessly, giving up all hope.

He prepared to close the panel and think of another way to find a suitable leader.

However, just as he was about to close the panel, it suddenly flickered.

The text on the panel began to distort and recombine, as if forcibly erased and rewritten by an invisible hand.

Immediately afterwards, a brand new panel appeared in front of Lin Mo.

Name: Bai Zhi

Age: 21

[Identity]: Unknown

[Talent]: Disguise

[Commander Effect]: Activates the core function "Shadow" of the Zhenwu Division, which allows the recruitment of the special unit "Shadow Guard".

【Shadow Guard】: A sharp blade that lurks in the shadows, skilled in disguise, infiltration, and silent assassination. They can carry out "decapitation" missions. They are the host's most secretive blades, ghosts walking among humans.

"Holy crap?!"

Seeing the effects of Bai Zhi's treatment, Lin Mo jumped up from his chair.

Decapitation?

This is no longer just ordinary public security maintenance!

This is a legitimate intelligence agency, a deadly weapon capable of taking the head of a general amidst a vast army!

If the Xuanjia Army is a warhammer that sweeps away thousands of troops.

This "Shadow Guard" is a scalpel that can precisely pierce the enemy's heart and strike at the heart of the enemy!

In the future, whether facing a general from the Great Xia Dynasty or a barbarian leader from the northern border...

He didn't even need to mobilize a large army; sending out a squad of shadow guards was enough to instantly disable the enemy's command system.

This is the real trump card!

It is the sword of Damocles hanging over the heads of all enemies!

"Identity unknown..."

Looking at the description in Bai Zhi's identity section, Lin Mo's curiosity about this woman instantly surged.

Although the other person's appearance was really... indescribable.

But Lin Mo values ​​talent even more!

But is Lin Mo that kind of superficial person? He values ​​soul and talent more!

Yes, that's right!

Lin Mo forced himself to convince himself.

There's no way around it, even though the other person is ugly, this master is just too effective!

Who could resist a group of assassins who specialize in decapitations?

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Lin Mo decided to go and make contact with Bai Zhi right now!

However, just as he was about to get up and leave, the images that kept replaying in his mind made him stop in his tracks...
