Ren Ke's statement was completely unexpected by everyone present.

Zheng Yue clutched the guqin tightly in her hands, lost in a daze.

Chen Lin's lips twitched, curving into a slight smile.

The other students took a few seconds to come to their senses and then smiled.

Such scenes are not uncommon for them; even more gruesome scenes are not uncommon.

"Alright, Ren Ke, we accept you as the deputy director of the bureau. We just hope that the future director who is only in name will be different from these people."

Li Xinran clapped her hands and cheered on the spot.

Several other classmates chimed in to echo this sentiment.

Ren Ke's statement clearly shows that he stands with his classmates. They can't afford to betray him, or their future will be even more difficult.

Chen Lin waved his hand in front of Zheng Yue.

"Were you scared?"

Zheng Yue shook her head blankly, "No, nothing."

In fact, she had witnessed villagers being torn apart and eaten by wolves in the past two days, and that scene was even more horrifying than this.

Otherwise, she would be really frightened if she saw a dead person for the first time.

More than forty villagers died, half of whom she witnessed.

But now I see my once gentle classmate suddenly turn on me and kill eight people.

Ren Ke's gaze swept over the crowd, noticing their expressions.

"Director Huang, and fellow students, since the higher-ups have said that I am in charge of the Administration Bureau, there is no reason for outsiders to give orders at will."

"We will set the rules ourselves."

"I know you all gained something from exploring that space. I won't interfere with those gains; everyone earned them through their own abilities."

"If anyone wants any resources or treasures, they can offer the resources they want in exchange, instead of just asking for them."

"But there is one thing: regardless of whether you join the management or not, if you choose to participate in the tasks initiated by the Administration, you must obey the Administration's orders and not affect the progress of the tasks."

"Finally, I want to warn everyone again: do not do anything that will anger both heaven and man, or you will incite public outrage and I will not show any mercy."

After Ren Ke finished speaking, he waited quietly for everyone's response.

"I have no objection," Li Xinran replied.

Chen Lin also stated, "I have no objection."

……

Others then spoke up, saying they would follow the rules.

Huang Zheng'an finally forced a cough and said, "Director Ren, what about the reward for this mission..."

Ren Ke pondered for a moment and said, "Give Chen Lin one-third of the original reward, and distribute the rest equally."

"Okay." Huang Zheng'an breathed a sigh of relief.

Ren Ke thought of something and immediately sent a telepathic message to Chen Lin to ask for his opinion.

A few seconds later, Ren Ke spoke again.

"By the way, Chen Lin collected some special metals and ores this time. I promised him that he would get an extra reward if he handed them over after he got out. Director Huang will have to contact the higher-ups about this."

"Special metals and ores?" Huang Zheng'an asked in surprise.

Ren Ke nodded: "Yes, there probably aren't any on Blue Star right now. The General Administration can use them for research; they're very valuable."

Upon seeing this, Chen Lin immediately raised his hand and summoned the stone tablet, which floated steadily in his palm, from which several items floated out.

A broken longsword, and half a piece of crimson ore.

There were also two broken pieces of iron, seemingly left behind after some object broke.

Upon seeing these items, Huang Zheng'an showed a look of surprise and delight.

"Okay, here are these things. It's just a monetary reward, however much it is, it's fine."

He was really afraid that he would have nothing and would have to apply to his superiors for a huge sum of money as a reward, which would have been a lose-lose situation.

Moreover, Ren Ke has now thoroughly humiliated the Wang family in the capital, and it's uncertain whether the General Administration will still support Ningjiang.

With a sigh in his heart, Huang Zheng'an hurriedly put the items away.

The other students almost all recognized the raw materials of these items. Although they were somewhat interested, they were not excited enough.

Their signature weapons are made of materials that are no worse than these, and in some cases far superior.

"Alright, I've made the rules clear. Li Xinran, from today onwards, you will be the chief of the Discipline Hall under the Administration Bureau, responsible for drafting detailed regulations for the Administration Bureau and preparing relevant proposals."

Li Xinran was stunned, seemingly not expecting Ren Ke to value her so highly.

However, she reacted quickly, hurriedly standing up and replying, "Yes, I will draft detailed management regulations as soon as possible."

The others also looked at Ren Ke; most of them had chosen to join the Management Bureau.

"Next, we will also establish a Battle Hall and an Inspection Department. Anyone else who wants to join can contact Li Xinran directly."

After speaking, Ren Ke looked at Huang Zheng'an, "Director Huang, is this feasible?"

Huang Zheng'an's expression shifted, but he finally nodded firmly. "Of course it's feasible. Although the structures of the Discipline Hall, the War Hall, and the Supervision Department are all out of step with modern styles, times are changing, and as pioneers, we need to make changes in advance."

"Alright, then I'll trouble Director Huang to report this matter and say it was my idea."

Ren Ke's expression remained calm, showing no emotional fluctuation.

But this is what makes Huang Zheng'an most uneasy.

He had thought Ren Ke was the most obedient among them, but he hadn't expected that Ren Ke had been hiding her thorns all along.

That old man Wang angered her today, which is why she showed it.

Ren Ke stood up and said, "Alright, meeting adjourned. If any of you want to make a private deal, you can discuss it privately. If you don't trust each other, you can ask me to be your witness."

"You can also go to the Shanghai Municipal Administration Bureau. Just state your requirements and we can discuss it."

"I want to emphasize again that all actions must not affect ordinary people."

After speaking, she nodded slightly to everyone, gave Huang Zheng'an a look, and then left the conference hall.

The remaining people looked at each other in bewilderment before getting up to leave.

"Chen Lin, I have something I'd like to talk to you about."

Li Xinran suddenly spoke up.

Chen Lin said, "Okay, what's up?"

"A water-attribute spirit weapon fragment, similar in grade to that piece of red copper ore, will suffice."

Chen Lin readily agreed, "Okay, I do have one, but what can you give me?"

"Here are these two for you. I was lucky enough to find a place with abundant spiritual energy."

Li Xinran summoned her green silk umbrella, from which two items fell out.

A small red tree, only a foot tall.

The other was a glass bottle containing some water with a slightly greenish hue.

Chen Lin glanced at him and said, "You're really lucky. I'll accept this deal."

Apart from Li Xinran, Chen Lin had already clearly sensed the unusual aura emanating from everyone else present in the space.

Some people encountered a large number of wild animals, fled in disarray, and returned empty-handed.

But some people were lucky and found a lot of useful things.

When their cultivation was still at the Dao Palace or Four Extremes level, they wouldn't have bothered to look at these things, but now everyone is a newbie who has just opened the sea of ​​suffering.

If they ask for something of similar value, Chen Lin will make the deal; this was something he had decided long ago.

Otherwise, you'll make too many enemies and be too high-profile.

This would prevent us from secretly investigating whether the Tianheng Continent was interfering in the revival of Blue Star's spiritual energy.

It's best to make others think that he will trade away most of the good stuff he gets.

He was lucky, and his cultivation and talent were considered average among the crowd.

This is how Chen Lin positions himself in the eyes of others.

Of course, this excludes Ren Ke and Zheng Yue.

The truth can no longer be hidden from these two.

They didn't go around telling everyone; they were from two different worlds, and he didn't believe he would still receive special attention.

At this moment, a ripple emanated from the Heavenly Ranking of Life and Death.

Chen Lin felt a chill run down his spine, but his expression remained unchanged.

"Here you go." He pretended to take something from the stone tablet and handed Li Xinran a fragment of a water-attribute spiritual weapon.

Everyone else was looking at Chen Lin, clearly also considering a deal.

Chen Lin glanced out the window: "Everyone, it's getting late. If you want anything, prepare your terms, and we can talk again tomorrow."

He has more important things to deal with right now.

After saying that, he leaped out of the window and landed on Da Jin's back in the yard.

"Head that way, home."

Inside the meeting room, everyone hesitated to speak, and eventually could only disperse.

"Yueyue, are you going home? We're going the same way, let's go together."

Li Xinran caught up with Zheng Yue, and the two chatted and laughed as they left together.
