This realization was like a bucket of cold water, poured directly into their previously passionate hearts.

After all, their only connection to this cultivation-themed fantasy world is Shen Huang!

If anything happens to Shen Huang, all contact will be severed, and the existence of the cultivation world will vanish like a bubble.

However, they also knew that while they could pool their wisdom and offer suggestions based on their respective expertise, the most important thing was to rely on the strategic analysis department and Shen Huang himself.

Meanwhile, Zhou Yu was taking notes in his notebook and sharing them with his colleagues in writing as he listened.

Only after Shen Huang finished speaking did he raise his head, his expression revealing no emotion, and even his tone remained calm.

"Mr. Shen, we've exchanged some initial thoughts." He looked down at his notebook, circled a certain entry, and continued, "First of all, your primary need in this other world will remain the same for a long time: safety. As long as people are alive, there is hope."

Shen Huang nodded slightly.

He thought so too.

Safety is the top priority.

"However, there is actually a contradiction here." Zhou Yu frowned slightly. "In a world where the strong prey on the weak and the law of the jungle prevails, the only thing that can guarantee safety is power. Or rather, given that we cannot invade on a large scale, only the power that you control can truly bring you safety. And in the current situation, pursuing power inevitably involves certain risks."

"..." Shen Huang fell silent for a moment.

These words truly hit the nail on the head.

If given a choice, he would naturally prefer to stay in a completely safe environment and just live a quiet life.

The problem is that without such an environment, it's difficult to survive without a sense of security.

What happened this morning is the best proof.

If he hadn't taken the initiative to stand up and face strangers and several extraordinary individuals to demonstrate his confidence, he probably wouldn't have been able to obtain the jade slip and master the writing so easily—this solved a major security problem and greatly improved his safety environment.

"Therefore, you must be mentally prepared." Zhou Yu emphasized slightly. "In the current situation, we cannot do high-risk things, nor can we retreat in an attempt to avoid all risks. We must find a balance between short-term and long-term security. This is our guiding principle for the next steps."

"I completely agree with what you've said," Shen Huang typed. "So you can rest assured. If you have information about me, you should know that I am not lacking in courage to take risks, nor am I blindly arrogant."

"Yes, we understand." Zhou Yu smiled. "We must say, in our view, it is truly a blessing for our country and people that you have encountered such an opportunity."

This statement, though a small compliment, is also true.

They had obtained information about Shen Huang at the very beginning.

For the past five years, Shen Huang has been adventuring in various remote and uninhabited places around the world.

However, he never went alone.

Instead, he used his wealth, abilities, and resources to build a highly reliable exploration team.

Before going to each place, they made comprehensive preparations, including intelligence, tools, and even weapons.

Even within their strategic analysis department, there is a consensus that someone like Shen Huang, faced with such an event, has a much higher survival rate than the average person.

The judgment and courage to immediately seek national assistance upon returning is something not everyone possesses.

"Based on this principle of action, we believe that the next goal should revolve around acquiring a systematic way of cultivation." Zhou Yu's expression became much more serious, clearly indicating that he had hit the nail on the head. "According to your description, cultivators, or spirit masters, are the controllers of power in this world, and represent status and authority. The sooner they acquire these, the better."

Shen Huang nodded in agreement once again in his heart.

The methods of cultivation are absolutely crucial.

Putting aside other things, the same weapon will definitely have completely different effects when used by an ordinary person and when used by a superhuman.

If he is a superhuman, with the addition of firearms, weapons, and various equipment, his safety will be greatly enhanced!

Moreover, cultivating immortality is Shen Huang's pursuit, and it is also the desire of countless people since ancient times.

"We have listed five possible channels for obtaining extraordinary power." Zhou Yu glanced at his notebook again. "Hongfei, Chief Guard He, the other guards, the villagers, and the township head. The reason for including the villagers is that cultivators may loosen their control over cultivation methods in the face of disaster, which is also reflected in your explanation of some of the text information."

Many people also seemed to realize something.

Shen Huang did indeed say that.

According to written records, the cultivators of the past gathered together and created the "Spirit Control Technique," which they then actively spread.

With just this one sentence, the villagers might be able to obtain some information.

Shen Huang couldn't help but be amazed; he had never imagined that he could obtain such crucial information from the villagers.

But in any case, this is the option with the lowest difficulty of operation.

Worth a try.

"And of these five directions, the most crucial one is undoubtedly the township head!" Zhou Yu said emphatically, his eyes narrowing slightly, his gaze sharp. "Once we can establish a relatively favorable relationship with the township head, not only will our cultivation methods improve, but our safety will also be greatly enhanced. This is our focus going forward. However, Mr. Shen, I need you to gather as much intelligence as possible, including detailed plans for the other four directions. We will list them out in detail and update them in real time. These five directions are actually complementary—at least until the township head summons you, we need to make all the necessary preparations!"

It's an uphill battle.

But I'm very confident.

Shen Huang clearly saw these two points from Zhou Yu's face.

This greatly boosted his confidence.

"Finally, Mr. Shen, I think the main things you need to carry right now are weapons and surveillance," Zhou Yu continued. "Regarding weapons, we have specialized weapons experts who can redesign and modify them for you to achieve targeted effects. Even if you can't carry too much weight at once, you can carry it in batches and assemble it yourself. As for surveillance, it should focus on concealment and probing. Don't risk monitoring the township head at first. Start with the weaker ones, gradually probe, and gather intelligence."

"Okay!" Shen Huang slammed his hand on the screen and typed out the message.
