Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Ye Chen slowly spoke, "Can I go back and think about it carefully?"

This definitely requires weighing the pros and cons.

He doesn't like flattery and sycophancy, so he might not be suited for working a regular job, let alone working within the system.

Based solely on his impression of Lu Ye, Ye Chen felt that this person was someone he could get along with.

He trusted his intuition.

But Ye Chen didn't know about the others.

If this mysterious department also values ​​personal connections and favors, Ye Chen felt there was no point in going there.

He didn't want to have to be mindful of his boss's mood every day.

Does the boss need to be rushed up to serve tea and water, and offer words of concern, just because he coughs? What are you thinking?

How can a Foundation Establishment expert be bossed around by ordinary people?

Why would a Foundation Establishment expert like himself be serving wine and tea to others?

Isn't it better to sleep 996 every day?

He definitely couldn't stand that kind of treatment.

He might just take over the leader's little swarm the next day.

Rather than doing that, it's better to just refuse outright to avoid things getting even more complicated later.

Lu Ye seemed to sense Ye Chen's concerns and smiled, "If you join us, you only need to be responsible for yourself and for the country. Our department is full of people like you; we respect strength above all else!"

"As long as you have the ability, you can stand on your own and won't have to worry about what others think. The relationships among members aren't as complicated as you imagine!"

Lu Ye's point undoubtedly struck a chord with Ye Chen.

This probably resonated with every cultivator.

Cultivators have transcended ordinary people; they are more afraid of being bound by worldly constraints and dislike worldly ways.

It's likely that this mysterious department also took this into account.

Strength is the only measure of power, huh? That seems plausible!

With his abilities, he could easily rise above any high-ranking leader.

Ye Chen was confident in this.

That would be something to consider.

After all, it's good to have a powerful backer; with an organization supporting him, it's easier for him to do certain things.

Things like the Wang family incident and the dark web should become less frequent...

"You don't need to rush to reply; I'll give you three days to consider!"

Lu Ye continued, "Also, those people next to you are also targets for recruitment. You can try to persuade them first!"

Ye Chen nodded; he wasn't surprised by this.

After all, the mysterious organization Lu Ye belonged to was specifically recruiting cultivators.

When independent cultivators appear among the common people, they will naturally try to recruit one or two of them.

Since they were able to find out Ye Chen's background, it's not surprising that they also thoroughly investigated the people who came into contact with him.

They might not know the cultivation level of Dongzi and Along, but they could still deduce that they were cultivators.

The weakest among the people around Ye Chen are all at the third level of Qi Refining, so it is indeed necessary to recruit them.

Joining the organization would indeed be a good thing for the people around him.

At least my second uncle doesn't have to carry cement every day anymore, and Dongzi doesn't have to run food delivery routes in the wind and rain anymore.

When you join an organization, basic living security is definitely the most fundamental requirement.

Leader Wu was even more bewildered. This...

How come he understands each word individually, but not when they're put together?

Lu Ye is trying to recruit Ye Chen and his people!

What's going on?

However, he knew there were some things he shouldn't ask, so he kept his questions to himself but didn't say anything more.

After the business was over, it was time for the unimportant meal, which was indeed optional for them.

When Ye Chen returned to Longjin Residential Area, it was only 8:30, which was still early.

He then called everyone to his house for a meeting; they still needed to know the truth.

As for their choice, Ye Chen fully respects their decision.

This is a crucial decision in everyone's life, and Ye Chen has no right to decide for them.

Dongzi, who was closest, came over first and asked疑惑地问道, "Brother Chen, what important thing is it that you called us over in the middle of the night?"

"Did it interfere with your date?" Ye Chen glanced at him sideways.

It's only a little past 8 o'clock, not the middle of the night!

"Ugh, what kind of date is this? Rongrong's been working overtime lately. Her company is laying off staff, and she just got promoted, so she's completely absorbed in her work!" Dongzi said, sounding like a complaining woman.

"Falling in love with a woman who loves working overtime? Ha, you're in for a world of hurt!" Ye Chen shook his head.

"Could you talk to Old Zhou and ask him not to assign her so many tasks?" Dongzi pouted.

Ye Chen rolled his eyes: "Please, do you think Old Zhou cares about such trivial matters? The class monitor is just a minor supervisor at best, with several leaders above him. If a woman doesn't come home, you should look for the reason within yourself. Why doesn't she come home? Is it because you're not good enough?"

Dongzi's face immediately turned red: "Me? Who said I can't? I can do it twice, you know that!"

"Tch, who knows if you're just smoking in there and wasting time?" Ye Chen scoffed.

"Me? Hmph, I won't discuss this with someone who doesn't even have a girlfriend. I'm going to go cultivate with Big Yellow!"

As he spoke, Dongzi went straight to Dahuang's side to absorb some spiritual energy for cultivation.

"Big Yellow, is this your cub? It doesn't look like you at all! Have you been cheated on?!"

Dongzi pointed at the little black dog and spoke in a cheeky manner.

Then Dongzi got kicked away by Dahuang...

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow; Dongzi was really asking for trouble.

A mere Qi Refining Level 3 dared to provoke a Qi Refining Level 7 dog? He's got guts, and he deserved to get beaten up!

A little while later, Xiao Qi arrived as well.

As soon as she arrived, Big Yellow looked at her warily and telepathically said, "The master sent you here for a meeting, so you can't do anything reckless!"

Xiao Qi smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll only take a little, just a tiny bit. I promise it won't be like last time!"

"I don't believe you. You shouldn't be so diligent in your cultivation. Life is too short; you should enjoy yourself while you can!" Da Huang earnestly advised people to become decadent.

"Then I'll tell Master that you let me slack off!" Xiao Qi glanced at Da Huang.

The big yellow dog's face twitched: "Okay, okay, it's a deal then. Don't suck it all up, or I'll tell my master that you secretly washed his underwear last time!"

Xiao Qi blushed, snorted, and ignored Da Huang, going straight into the house to find Ye Chen.

"Master, I've arrived!"

"Okay, wait for them. We'll talk when they arrive. You can cultivate for a while first," Ye Chen hummed in agreement.

Xiao Qi swaggered up to Da Huang: "You heard that? Master told me to cultivate!"

Big Yellow pursed its lips and didn't say anything.

Around 9 o'clock, Ah Long and Li Wenlong also arrived.

Zhang Qian has not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, so she is not among the people recruited by the special department.

"Everyone's here, come on over, I have something to tell you all!" Ye Chen called out to everyone.

Ye Chen then explained in detail the recruitment process for the special department.

Ah Long opened his mouth in surprise.

"Brother Ye, so those two men in black this morning were from the special department!"
