He has been reincarnated through countless worlds, adorned with billions of mythological terms!

At least in this world, that's enough.

He turned around, went to the bathroom, took a shower, and changed into clean clothes.

The person in the mirror looked no different than two days ago; still with that eighteen-year-old face and that slender frame.

But if you look closely, you'll notice that his eyes are different.

Yunyi dried his hair and had just stepped out of the bathroom when he heard someone knocking on the door.

Three times.

The rhythm is even, neither too heavy nor too light.

This is not the way Zhao Tieshan and his gang knocked.

Of course.

They probably won't knock.

He walked over and opened the door.

There were two people standing outside the door.

A man and a woman, both wearing dark blue uniforms, with a silver badge pinned to their chests that read "Supernatural Affairs Bureau" in small print.

The man was in his forties, with a square face and thick eyebrows, looking like someone who had spent half his life working in the system.

His posture was relaxed, but Yunyi could tell that beneath that relaxation lay a tense tension.

The woman was younger, around twenty-seven or twenty-eight, with her hair in a ponytail, and holding a tablet computer in her hand.

Her gaze swept over Yun Yi quickly but carefully.

Name: Zhou Zhengguo

[Position: Grassroots Investigator, Qingcheng City Extraordinary Affairs Bureau]

Loyalty: 0

[Comment: A seasoned veteran, he does things by the rules, neither causing trouble nor fearing it.]

Name: Lin Xiaoman

[Position: Grassroots Investigator, Qingcheng City Extraordinary Affairs Bureau]

Loyalty: 5

[Evaluation: A newcomer, somewhat idealistic, and friendly towards those who have awakened.]

Yun Yi glanced at the silver badge but said nothing.

"Hello," Zhou Zhengguo spoke first, his tone friendly, even with a hint of a smile, "Are you Yun Yi?"

"it's me."

"Don't be nervous," Zhou Zhengguo pulled out an ID from his pocket and waved it, "From the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau."

"We received a report that there were signs of supernatural activity in this building the night before last, so we came to verify it."

His wording was polite, but he emphasized the word "verify" very clearly.

This isn't a discussion; it's a notification.

Yunyi stepped aside to clear the doorway:

"Would you like to come in and have a seat?"

"I won't sit any longer, just a few words."

Zhou Zhengguo didn't move, his gaze sweeping over Yun Yi's shoulder and into the room.

He saw the shattered window.

I also saw the two handprints on the wall.

His eyebrows twitched slightly, but he quickly regained his composure.

"May I ask," Zhou Zhengguo's tone remained as amiable as ever, "when did you awaken your powers?"

Yun Yi leaned against the door frame, looking at him.

Three days ago.

Zhou Zhengguo glanced at him but didn't ask any further questions.

"You awakened three days ago, so how much do you know about the Extraordinary Affairs Bureau?"

"not much."

Yunyi said.

"Then let me give a brief introduction."

Zhou Zhengguo took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, pulled one out, glanced at Yun Yi, and asked, "Mind?"

"random."

Zhou Zhengguo lit a cigarette and took a puff.

"The Extraordinary Affairs Administration Bureau, or Extraordinary Affairs Bureau for short, is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of State Security."

"There is a branch office in every city across the country, responsible for registering, managing, and protecting awakened individuals."

He exhaled a puff of smoke, which slowly dissipated in the corridor.

"It's not about managing you, it's about protecting you."

Lin Xiaoman added from the side, her tone much gentler than Zhou Zhengguo's:

"Awakened individuals are often unstable in the early stages, prone to accidents, and easily targeted by certain organizations."

"Our main job is to help those who have awakened smoothly navigate the initial stages."

Yun Yi nodded without saying anything.

"According to regulations," Zhou Zhengguo flicked his cigarette ash, "Awakened individuals need to register with the local branch office within seven days of awakening."

"After registration, there will be a free qualification assessment, and subsequent training programs will be arranged based on the assessment results."

"What if we don't register?"

Yun Yi asked.

Zhou Zhengguo glanced at him and smiled.

The smile was kind, but there was no real joy in the eyes.

"Registration is not required."

"The Supermarket Management Bureau is not a coercive agency; they won't send anyone to arrest and detain you."

He put a cigarette in his mouth and put his hands in his pockets.

"But you need to know one thing—we're not the only ones in this world who can see extraordinary powers."

"There are other organizations, large and small, all eyeing the newly awakened."

"If you don't register, neither can we find you, and neither can those people."

"But once you use your abilities and they discover it..."

He shrugged.

"That's hard to say."

Yun Yi nodded.

"Okay then, I find it too troublesome, I don't need to register."

"Registration requires..."

Zhou Zhengguo was speaking and making preparations when he suddenly stopped.

With a cigarette in his mouth and a lighter held in mid-air, he seemed to have been put on pause.

"Not registering?"

He took out his cigarette, looked Yun Yi up and down, and asked, "Are you sure?"

"Sure."

Yunyi said, "It's too much trouble."

Zhou Zhengguo was silent for a few seconds, then put the cigarette back in his mouth, lit it, and took a deep drag.

"OK."

He said.

Then he took out a business card from his pocket and handed it to Yunyi.

"When will you stop finding it troublesome to make this call?"

Yun Yi took the business card and glanced at it.

It's very simple, just a name and a number.

The back is printed with a line of small print: "Serve the People".

"Oh, right," Zhou Zhengguo turned around, took two steps, then stopped, "fix that mark on the wall yourself."

"If the landlord calls the police, we'll have to handle it in the end."

He waved without turning his head and walked towards the stairwell.

Lin Xiaoman stood there, hesitating for a moment.

She took something out of her pocket and put it into Yunyi's hand.

It was a silver badge, exactly the same as the one they wore on their chests.

"Here you go," she said in a low voice, "it's not for registration, it's just a souvenir."

"Our emergency contact number is listed here. You can call it if you encounter any trouble."

He paused, then added another sentence.

"But I'd still like to remind you that it's best to register."

"The country will not harm you as long as you are still a citizen of the country."

Even if you don't register, try to avoid joining those shady organizations.

After saying that, she quickly caught up with Zhou Zhengguo, and the two disappeared around the corner of the stairs.

Yun Yi looked down at the badge in his hand and flipped it over.

Sure enough, it had a string of numbers engraved on it.

He put the badge in his pocket and closed the door.

Back in the room, sitting on the edge of the bed, I took out the Qi and Blood Bead again.

Two-thirds remain.

He gripped the beads tightly and continued circulating his energy.

This time, instead of being cautious, I let loose and absorbed it wholeheartedly.

The power of Qi and blood surged out of the bead like a flood bursting its banks, rushing and crashing along the meridians.

The dark red lines under the skin became increasingly dense, spreading from the arms to the chest, and then climbing up the neck.

Sweat rained down.

Each drop was tinged with a pale red color and carried a rusty, fishy smell.

The muscles are tearing, rebuilding, and expanding.

The bones made a series of cracking sounds, as if something was growing inside.

Two days later.

Yun Yi opened his eyes.

A fleeting, dark red light flashed in his pupils, disappearing in an instant.

He got out of bed and looked down at himself.

He still has the same physique; he hasn't become a muscular hunk.

But he could feel that every muscle under his skin was like a compressed spring, containing more than ten times the strength it had before.

Body refinement complete.

The 100,000 units of Qi and Blood energy have been used up.

Although it's not strong enough yet.

But in this world, perfecting body refinement is enough.

At least they can protect themselves.

He walked to the window and looked out at the street.

The streetlights were on, traffic was sparse, and only a few pedestrians hurried by occasionally.

Yunyi stood by the window for a long time.

People occasionally walked by on the street, hurrying along, and no one looked up at the half-broken window.

He turned around, placed the silver badge on the table, and then took out the business card and glanced at it. "Supernatural Affairs Bureau"—the words were printed neatly, like the standard font on government documents.

He recalled the words Lin Xiaoman had whispered when she handed him the badge:

"The country will not harm you as long as you are still a citizen of the country."

He stuffed the business card and badge into his pocket and opened the door.

He went downstairs.

The noodle shop at the entrance of the residential area was still open. The owner, a fat man in his fifties, was squatting at the entrance smoking.

He was stunned for a moment when he saw Yun Yi.

"I haven't seen you for quite a few days."

Yun Yi nodded.

"I've been busy these past few days."

The boss didn't ask any more questions, put out his cigarette, and stood up.

"The usual?"

"Um."
