No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"Mm." Strawberry Milkshake nodded easily, as if she had expected it.

The gummy bear, or rather, the blueberry dip, cautiously observed the reaction of the strawberry milkshake in the rearview mirror, and seeing the expression on the other person's face, felt a sense of unease.

Oh no, it looks like it's aimed at me.

Revealing her identity was part of her plan to slack off!

Sure enough, the next second, the man said to him, "You should help with the chores around the house too."

"I'm really fed up," he sighed.

But nobody paid any attention to him.

The man continued, "This time, apart from the people you found, all the others who came were killed. The only one who survived was that kid."

"As expected," Strawberry Milkshake said knowingly, "they got involved too."

The man guessed something: "You saw other people inside?"

"Yes, I took care of them myself."

"Very good." The man said with satisfaction, "Even if we don't find the right person, we can't let them find them. You did a great job."

He paused for a moment, then continued, “I will tell everyone that the people we found have all been killed. We absolutely cannot let them know about that kid’s existence. Then we need to win him over before the special incubation facility opens. You had quite a bit of contact with him this time, so you can come up with a plan.”

"Okay," the strawberry milkshake replied.

"I was the one who noticed him first..." Little Bear Muttered.

Still, nobody cared.

“But there’s a problem,” Strawberry Milkshake suddenly said.

"how?"

"I feel there's something wrong with this incubator."

I'm a little unsure about the strawberry milkshake:

"This is supposedly an incubator strongly related to the spiritual root of love and desire. I have made ample preparations beforehand. Even if I can't get the hidden reward, I should be able to protect myself and come out alive."

But once inside, I discovered that the situation was completely different from what I had learned; none of the information I had was accurate.

If it weren't for him, I probably wouldn't have been able to get out safely.

She felt extremely unhappy about being suppressed by Jiang Shu in Lie Town for this reason.

This was completely different from her plan to use the information to casually mention a crucial point at a critical moment, allowing Jiang Shu to break the deadlock and then make him grateful to her.

She didn't have to pretend at all; she was genuinely clueless from beginning to end.

"Is that so..."

The man thought for a moment:

"I understand. I'll ask Old Man Wuzheng for clarification. You don't need to worry about it. Just take a good rest for a while."

This serves as a lesson for you. You must never act recklessly again, understand? Hatcheries are dangerous, let alone this kind of hatchery.

At all times, you must first have faith in your own abilities, not in the information you have.

"Understood." Strawberry Milkshake nodded seriously.

When it comes to serious matters, she never throws a tantrum.

After a pause, the man changed the subject, saying, "But this is interesting. I thought he succeeded in winning you over with your help, but if that's the case..."

"Now I'm thinking of meeting him in person."

Chapter 126 The Director's Decision

Bureau of Different Systems.

Shen Mo did not go home, but went straight back to the Execution Department after leaving the sanctuary.

The minister is waiting in his office.

Upon seeing Shen Mo, the minister first asked him to sit down, and then said:

"I have already informed the director of the situation, and he seems very interested in Jiang Shu."

Within the Bureau of Different Names, names are not a secret.

After all, salaries have to be deposited into bank accounts, and various benefits have to be processed under real names. People may usually address each other by code names, but it's unlikely that higher-ups would not know the names of their subordinates.

Upon hearing this, Shen Mo was somewhat surprised.

"This matter even alarmed the bureau chief?"

“When you reported to me yesterday, I was right next to the director, reporting to him Jiang Shu’s discovery about the rebels’ knowledge of our internal intelligence. So naturally, he found out about it as well.”

The minister explained:

"After all, this is related to special incubators and rebels, so the director is very concerned about it."

So, as soon as I learned that Jiang Shu had conquered [Town of Lies], I immediately told the chief.

"What was the director's reaction?" Shen Mo asked curiously.

"What kind of reaction can the bureau chief have?" The minister rolled his eyes at him. "You know perfectly well that even if the sky falls, it's no big deal to him. He can just push it back. Do you expect him to be shocked?"

"That's not what I meant." Shen Mo chuckled.

To be honest, he was quite looking forward to his team surprising the bureau chief.

After learning about the town of lies, Jiang Shu's ability to escape unscathed truly shocked him.

Seeing his obvious intentions, the minister smiled and shook his head: "You little rascal, you're showing off to the bureau chief."

"Wouldn't that make me look good?" Shen Mo said shamelessly.

But after the laughter subsided, the minister did not feel so relieved.

Indeed, the bureau chief was not shocked.

But he showed a look of surprise.

The minister rarely saw this expression on the other person's face.

The bureau chief he saw was always calm and composed, as if he had everything under control.

Even when he was an Execution Department operative a few years ago, Shen Mo, who was the number one person below level six, gained the Cataclysmic trait during his ascension. The Director only mentioned to him briefly, "He can be trained."

There was no particular emotion on his face.

Thinking about this, the minister couldn't help but feel a little dazed.

His gaze toward Shen Mo was somewhat complicated.

You're a tough guy, not only are you strong, but you're also incredibly lucky.

Seeing the minister staring at him strangely, Shen Mo felt uneasy: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing much." The minister looked away and said, "It's just that I feel you're being a bit irresponsible as a leader."

How am I not taking responsibility?

Shen Mo immediately retorted with dissatisfaction:

"He's only been here two days and he's already caused trouble twice. I haven't slept for two days because of this troublemaker. Aren't I responsible?"

That's not what I meant.

The minister said with exasperation:

"I mean, Jiang Shu is clearly an evolved being with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root, but you told me he has the Courage Spiritual Root. Do you Courage types feel like everyone is one of your own? Is the whole world just a collection of Courage Spiritual Roots?"

"Hey!" Shen Mo immediately became serious: "Let's stick to the facts and not use spiritual root attacks."

In rebuttal, Shen Mo said with some disbelief, "But that shouldn't be the case. If he doesn't have the Courage Spirit Root, where would he get such a high strength value? With his level and the evolution points he should have, the increase in his strength value should be very high. It can only be the Courage Spirit Root."

Upon hearing this, the minister retorted, "So, according to you, the bureau chief also has the spiritual root of courage?"

"Uh..." Shen Mo was taken aback, then thought of the secret known only to a select few—

As the leader of the Bureau of Different Paths and the number one evolved being recognized in the evolutionary world, the Director's base values ​​for all abilities are above 1.9, making him a true ultimate human.

If we only compare numerical values, the director, who possesses the wisdom and spiritual root, has higher values ​​in all areas than the top experts of this era, who are most proficient in these areas.

Of course, that's a different story when you use skills and items to boost your abilities.

But they have skills and tools, and so does the bureau chief.

This is why he was able to firmly hold the position of Director of the Bureau of Unorthodox Unification, and why the Bureau of Unorthodox Unification had the confidence and reliance to overpower all others.

Thinking of this, Shen Mo said awkwardly, "How can we use the bureau chief as an example? Comparing him to Jiang Shu would be too much of an insult."

“I’m not comparing them to Jiang Shu, I’m just saying don’t rely on experience. Maybe he has a high base strength in addition to his charm. You can’t just draw conclusions like that, that’s irresponsible.”

The minister admonished:

"Besides, why don't you just ask? Why do you have to guess? You have a spiritual root of courage, yet you're doing the work of a spiritual root of wisdom?"

"That's going too far!" Shen Mo protested, then said with a hint of grievance, "Isn't that the rule? If an operator doesn't want to talk about it, I can't force him to report it."

"Did he explicitly express that he didn't want to talk about it?" the minister asked.

Shen Mo thought about it carefully.

Then he awkwardly discovered that Jiang Shu not only hadn't expressed any reluctance to talk about it, but had also mentioned it several times. When he told Jiang Shu about our courage and spiritual roots, Jiang Shu seemed to want to explain something.

Whenever this happens, I interrupt with a smile and say it's okay, you don't have to tell me your secrets if you don't want to.

It does feel like it's like I'm the one preventing him from saying it.

"No...no..."

"That settles it then."

The minister rolled his eyes:

"The truth is, Lies Town is an incubator strongly associated with the spiritual root of love and desire; it is almost impossible to conquer without the spiritual root of love and desire."

Moreover, the rebels aren't idiots; they must know this too. Although we don't know how they did it, do you think they would let an evolver who doesn't have the spiritual root of love and desire in?

In short, you should go and ask him yourself tomorrow. It would be best to get a definite answer. If necessary, you can tell him about Lie Town. I believe he will understand the implications.

Furthermore, next time this happens, let Qin Lang handle it. You're too careless in your work.”

"OK..."

Shen Mo wanted to refute something, but ultimately lacked the confidence to do so.

"And if it can be confirmed that Jiang Shu possesses the spiritual root of love and desire..."

The minister then changed the subject:

"The director means that you can give him as many resources as possible, provided that it does not seriously violate the regulations."

"Why?" Shen Mo asked, puzzled.

"Those with the Love and Desire Spirit Root Evolver are relatively weak in the early stages, making it difficult for them to transition and upgrade. Most of them cannot pass our assessment and cannot meet our personnel needs."

Aside from us, very few people or organizations would invest significant effort in cultivating an erotic spiritual root evolver whose future is unpredictable.

Therefore, in the opening of this special incubation facility, the Elder Wuzheng and his disciples are the absolute protagonists and hold an absolute advantage.

Therefore, he made a request to the Bureau of Heresy, hoping that we would help him obtain the spiritual root of the progenitor of love and desire. In return, he would also give the Bureau of Heresy a certain advantage in the special incubation field at that time. We have no reason to refuse this.

Because we don't have any outstanding individuals with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root Evolution, and at least on the surface, Elder Wuzheng has a good relationship with us, so it's a win-win situation where we can do him a favor while also profiting from it.

At this point, the minister smiled slightly:

"But now... the situation is different."

Shen Mo quickly grasped the underlying meaning: "Does the director mean that we won't help the old man Wuzheng anymore, and we'll fight for it ourselves?"

"Yes."

The minister nodded:

"A friend's strength is ultimately not as great as one's own. Moreover, if Elder Wuzheng really obtains the Ancestral Spiritual Root, it's impossible to determine whether he will have other intentions. This is not the situation the director wants to see."

Therefore, rather than letting this uncertain situation arise, it would be better for us to cultivate an ancestral spiritual root ourselves, at least... we can't let the Old Man of No Controversy have it too easy.

Now that Jiang Shu has conquered Lie Town, he has proven his abilities. If he makes good use of the remaining six months to undergo a transformation, acquire spiritual root characteristics, and qualify for the ultimate challenge, he might actually have a chance to go toe-to-toe with the Old Man Wuzheng in the hatchery.

"Um..."
