I set you up on a blind date, and you've managed to overcome all the weirdness?

Lin Yan appeared thoughtful, nodding frequently and appearing calm, but his heart was in turmoil.

Does this mean that as long as I don't rebel, I'm considered a lawless outlaw with a legal license in this system?

Actually, he had considered his situation before leaving his senior's place.

His situation was extremely dangerous.

He carried a frog brooch in his pocket that sealed the soul of a living person, wore bizarrely made earphones, and, not to mention, there was Chu Chu who occasionally peeked out.

He also had a mark on his chest. He didn't know if the department knew what it was, and he didn't dare to ask such a sensitive question, lest he accidentally expose himself.

What if one day some big shot from the bureau suddenly comes to inspect the work and happens to discover something amiss with me?

Even if he had mouths all over his body, he still wouldn't be able to explain it clearly.

After all, his equipment was comparable to that of a college student who carried a shotgun, a submachine gun, and a sniper rifle to school.

He said that it's hard to believe that these are used for self-defense.

But having the identity of the cleaning department makes all the difference.

As long as he doesn't point his knife at his fellow humans, the authorities turn a blind eye to his bizarre methods.

They even had to imagine it themselves, this was a killer move that the members of the cleaning department couldn't afford to question.

Lin Yan himself didn't even realize that his face was crooked from smiling.

"It's not time to be happy yet, Commissioner Lin."

Su Qinghan rolled her eyes at Lin Yan, giving him the look of someone looking at a country bumpkin.

She led Lin Yan deeper into the area.

As the lights came on in rows, Lin Yan found it hard to imagine how such a large space could be hidden underground.

This would be more than enough as a doomsday shelter.

Rows of safes are neatly arranged here, most of them covered with a glass-like material, and a few are made of metal.

Lin Yan found each of the safes inside to be fascinating.

A strand of long hair floated in mid-air, dripping blood droplets, but disappeared when it hit the bottom of the safe.

An ordinary piece of ore suddenly disappeared and then suddenly reappeared.

There was also an eyeball encased in amber. Although it was completely covered in amber, it could still move. Lin Yan accidentally made eye contact with it and quickly looked away.

Su Qinghan had anticipated Lin Yan's reaction and explained again:

"These are the bizarre remains brought back by agents from all over the province, and some are processed rule extracts."

"Many ordinary operators save up points for a year just to exchange for a single piece of material."

"Chen Feng made an exception for you this time."

"As a subsidy, you can apply for one piece of any material below S grade at half price each month."

In Su Qinghan's opinion, this was indeed an astonishingly large undertaking, and she wondered how Chen Feng had managed to get the General Administration to agree.

Although it's not free, a half-price subscription can still save a lot of money.

Moreover, such a resource library itself is an extremely high barrier to entry.

Lin Yan quickly figured out the reason behind it.

From the perspective of those in the bureau, he had too many secrets.

Despite not practicing traditional spiritual power, he was able to extricate himself from these two major cases with ease, and even guide some kind of extraordinary power.

In addition, last time, Lao Zhao inadvertently found himself a perfect excuse for being robbed.

While it's ostensibly a subsidy, it's actually a way of testing the waters.

They wanted to deduce what type of resources the person behind them needed and which path they belonged to by analyzing the materials they exchanged each month.

In fact, that was indeed what Chen Feng thought, but he had an additional consideration.

He had to risk his reputation to get the reward from the General Administration, and firstly, it was indeed to keep Lin Yan.

Secondly, it's also to ensure that Lin Yan has more options in high-pressure confrontations, increasing his chances of survival.

After all, no one is perfect in every aspect. No matter how capable his elders are, can they be as comprehensive as those in the bureau?

"But what's the point of all this stuff?"

Lin Yan looked at the endless array of safes and muttered to himself.

For more than half a month, he was just a miserable office worker sitting in the office writing tweets.

Although he has stumbled upon the truth of the world by accident, his perspective is still at a beginner level.

He had no idea what these things could be used for—to make medicinal liquor? To make soup?

Just as Lin Yan was wondering what was going on, the system suddenly beeped.

[Ding! A large amount of gift resources have been detected; the gift function has been activated.]

The bizarre fragments contain unclaimed pieces of rules that can help female guests nurture their inner selves.

The gift feature has now been unlocked, allowing the host to send gifts to female guests via group chat private messages.

Depending on how well the materials match the female guest's own rules, the favorability rating can be greatly increased, triggering special feedback events.

Lin Yan was delighted. There was still a hidden game out there?

This is a perfect match for my major!

He originally thought that sooner or later he would go bankrupt from giving out red envelopes.

Those difficult ladies in the group can fight over a few points of affinity points in a red envelope.

If I ever run into trouble and need to borrow help in the future, I can just pick out a top-tier item from this secret vault and throw it at them...

Lin Yan had already begun to fantasize about mermaids, nuns, and senior girls calling him "brother" in the group chat.

"This experience of living off a woman has taught me a lesson."

……

After leaving the secret vault, Lin Yan returned to his workstation in Group Seven, in high spirits.

He finally felt more secure in his life, so he decided to slack off for a day to celebrate.

Lin Yan took out his phone, habitually opened Bilibili, and happened to come across a movie review video.

Although it looked crudely made, Lin Yan didn't care.

It's just for fun, and I don't care if I turn it off when I need to.

A standard AI voiceover narration:

"Look closely, this man is called Xiao Shuai. What he doesn't know is that his newly bought secondhand house contains a dried-out body..."

"What's the point of looking at this thing?" A hand suddenly patted Lin Yan on the shoulder.

Old Zhao had discovered Lin Yan's slacking off at some point, but he wasn't surprised.

He peeked at the screen:

"Tsk tsk tsk, these days, even ghost stories are told by AI."

"Team Leader Zhao, this is called stress relief." Lin Yan smiled and put away his phone.

"We deal with those kinds of things all the time, so watching some of this kind of stuff is good for clearing our heads."

"Anyway, no matter how bizarre something made by AI is, it can't possibly become grotesque, right?"

"That's true." Old Zhao nodded and didn't say anything more.

"Alright, hurry up and go home. Chen Feng went to a meeting at the provincial bureau and gave you two days off. Go back and get some rest."

……

At 10:30 p.m., Lin Yan had just woken up at her workstation.

I accidentally fell asleep while watching videos this afternoon.

He left the company but couldn't hail a taxi. He planned to walk to the next intersection to see if he could get one, secretly thinking that he should get a car soon.

Walking through the alley, the autumn breeze was slightly cool.

Lin Yan was figuring out how to get the mermaid to her virtual singer account.

The surroundings were quiet; this was the first time Lin Yan had walked this road since she started working.

However, just as he passed a trash can under a streetlight.

A familiar voice suddenly rang in my ears:

"Look closely, this man's name is Lin Yan."

"He sat in the office for twelve hours today and is now dragging his tired body down the alley on his way home."

"However, he seems to be having good luck today."

"He'll find a hundred-dollar bill tucked in the crevice of the trash can on his left."

Lin Yan stood there, frozen in place.
