The sequence is too involutional, luckily I am too.

The guilt on Yao Qing's face vanished instantly, replaced by a look of smug delight, like a little fox who had succeeded in her scheme.

Lu Yan also reacted instantly, a helpless look on his face.

I've been tricked by this woman.

"Did you just think your chances of getting citizenship were over?"

Yao Qing proudly raised her chin, took out a card from her bag, and handed it to Lu Yan.

Lu Yan took the card and examined it curiously.

Lu Yan took the card and examined it carefully; its design was quite similar to the ID card from his previous life.

One side is printed with his portrait, name, and a unique serial number, while the other side is prominently engraved with the three numbers [056].

In the upper right corner of the card is an exquisite tower emblem, which is the symbol of the Judgment Department.

"Keep this card safe. It serves as both your official citizenship certificate for the asylum and your credentials as an investigator from the adjudication department."

Yao Qing reminded him earnestly, then changed the subject, teasing him with a smile in her eyes: "Also, I put some money in there, so don't eat too much later, the cafeteria is quite busy."

Thank you.

Lu Yan didn't stand on ceremony and simply put the card away.

Even though the free food is plentiful, it's still too filling.

"I've gone to great lengths to help you with this, won't you invite me in for a chat?"

Seeing Lu Yan still standing at the door, Yao Qing raised her eyebrows helplessly and took the initiative to break the deadlock.

Lu Yan remained silent upon hearing this, and could only abandon the idea of ​​going for extra food, stepping aside to let Yao Qing into the house.

As soon as Yao Qing entered the room, her eyes were drawn to the three small plants on the windowsill.

They are still kept in simple iron cans, but their leaves have an unusual freshness.

"You really didn't throw them away... Hmm, are these extraordinary plants?"

She had noticed these three plants when she was in the town before, but had not noticed anything unusual. Only when she got closer today did she vaguely sense a faint supernatural fluctuation.

"You've also awakened an auxiliary sequence?"

Lu Yan nodded slightly, readily admitting it.

He would never have admitted it in the past, but now that it is known that many of the extraordinary individuals in the sanctuary have multiple secondary training sequences, hiding it would seem deliberate.

In fact, it's very difficult to keep it a secret.

After transforming from a farmer to a forest ranger, the three saplings grew at an increasingly rapid pace.

Lu Yan could sense that once they reached maturity, their combat power would not be weaker than that of a regular Sequence 9.

Even if plants are born with the ability to hide, this level of strength will eventually be exposed.

"Your melee combat skills are very strong, which is a good match with the plant-manipulating sequence."

Yao Qing nodded slightly, but still couldn't help but remind her, "However, you must not be greedy. It's not true that the more sequences you awaken, the better."

"Not only is it a waste of time, but conflicts between sequences are no laughing matter."

"I see."

Lu Yan understood; he had already seen this information in the library, but he appreciated Yao Qing's kindness in offering to remind him.

He suddenly realized that Yao Qing's demeanor was completely different after returning to the shelter compared to when she was in the town. She was less charming and probing, and more capable and composed.

He didn't attribute this change to acting skills, but instinctively linked it to the sequence.

Perhaps this is a prerequisite for awakening some special sequence?

"Oh, right, there's one more thing I need to tell you."

Yao Qing suppressed her smile and said, "Seven days from now, you will be assigned to an overseas team of the Judgment Department to carry out a clearing mission in the dense fog area."

"A clearing-out mission? Isn't that the responsibility of the clearing-out team?"

Lu Yan was somewhat surprised. He had always thought that the Adjudication Department was similar to the law enforcement agencies in his previous life, focusing on internal investigations and arrests, but it turned out that it was also involved in the clearing and suppression of criminals in the wild.

"The term 'cleanup team' only applies to the displaced people in the town. In fact, almost all departments within the shelter take turns going out to carry out cleanups, and even students are no exception."

Yao Qing explained patiently, her tone revealing a hint of suppressed resentment.

"You didn't originally need to go out so soon, but someone sabotaged you and changed your departure time."

Lu Yan suddenly realized what was going on and had a general idea.

Having just arrived, I had barely interacted with anyone, let alone offended anyone.

Therefore, the source must be in the market town.

It's either Chen Ye, the second-in-command whom I beat up, or...

He glanced at Yao Qing, who was dressed in a black tight-fitting uniform. She was tall and slender, with delicate yet capable features, truly living up to the saying "beauty is a curse".

However, this little trouble was insignificant to him.

"Go ahead and go, it's bound to happen sooner or later anyway."

Lu Yan shrugged, his expression indifferent.

"That's true, anyway, with your abilities, there shouldn't be any problems."

Yao Qing nodded slightly, barely managing to accept it.

"But just to be on the safe side, I still had my dad arrange for you to join a very strong team. Just think of it as going through the motions."

Yao Qing lowered her chin, adopting a slightly boastful posture, and moved closer to Lu Yan, her eyes filled with spring-like allure.

"I've helped you so much, how do you plan to repay me?"

Lu Yan remained silent, considering the matter carefully for a moment.

"How about repaying me with your body?"

Upon hearing this, Yao Qing's ears turned red instantly, a hint of panic flashed in her eyes, and she shrank back abruptly, her tone becoming somewhat unnatural.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. Your captain will be looking for you tomorrow, so don't wander off."

She hurriedly got up, swaying her hips as she walked towards the door. She stopped again as she passed the windowsill, glanced at the three tin cans, and muttered:

"It's a supernatural plant, after all. How can you keep it in this broken jar? Isn't that pathetic?"

"The adjudication department has a special resource exchange office. Hurry up and exchange for some good ones, and also get some nutrient solution for them."

After saying that, Yao Qing closed the door and hurriedly left, as if trying to cover up her earlier panic.

"Is this shabby?"

Lu Yan glanced at the iron can where the three little plants lived and shrugged helplessly.

City people are so pretentious. If it's this delicate, what kind of extraordinary plant is it?

The forest ranger is very dissatisfied with your attitude and is urging you to handle the plant maintenance matters as soon as possible.

As the panel subtitles flashed by, the three small plants seemed to urge them on, their leaves trembling slightly.

Lu Yan had no choice but to admit defeat, and got up to leave.

As soon as I reached the door, I saw Yao Qing opening the door to the dormitory next door.

"You live here too?"

Lu Yan raised an eyebrow and asked.

"What, is that not allowed?"

Yao Qing rolled her eyes in annoyance, snorted, and closed the door.

"What's wrong with this woman now?"

Lu Yan shook his head speechlessly, then turned and left.

The resource exchange area is located on the basement floor of the tower and is accessible only to members of the Judgment Department upon presentation of their credentials.

Lu Yan swiped his card to enter, but instead of exchanging it immediately, he inquired about the price first.

With the lessons of the past still fresh in his mind, he dared not be careless about the prices in the cafeteria; the food here was certainly not cheap.

And indeed, things turned out exactly as he had predicted.

Crimson Cloud Potion - 100 Gold;

Chalcedony potion - 150 gold;

Nutrient solution - 50 gold;

Tranquilizing Potion - 150 Gold...

"Just how much money did I take from the Black Dog Gang?"

Lu Yan smacked his lips, inexplicably feeling a pang of nostalgia for Wei Xu.

The leader is such a good person!

After a brief moment of reflection, Lu Yan took out his identity card and placed it on the device.

I wonder how much money Yao Qing saved for him. If it's not enough, then we'll just have to make do with the three little ones for now.

"Ding! Your balance is 10000 gold coins."

Lu Yan remained silent, carefully counted the number of digits in the balance again, and then began to consider it seriously.

Wasn't he being a little too cold towards Sister Qing?

Hmm, I'll treat her to a meal later. Cook the rice a little softer so it's easier to digest.

With ample funds, Lu Yan directly exchanged for ten Jade Marrow Potions and ten Tranquilizing Potions.

After thinking for a moment, he exchanged for twenty more vials of compressed nutrient solution.

This nutrient solution not only nourishes extraordinary plants, but also allows extraordinary individuals to quickly replenish their energy; one vial can sustain them for a day.

"Even wild boars are eating bran now!"

Holding a whole box of medicine, Lu Yan was in a great mood.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan went back and bought three extraordinary seeds, each paired with an energy-gathering flowerpot.

The forest ranger's advanced quest requires cultivating six extraordinary plants, so he needs to hurry.
