No strange things are allowed to evolve!

"This can't be arranged for you right away. Although I said the Bureau of Different Principles will make it public internally, it's not something you can just look at casually. You need a library card to apply in advance to go to the library, right?"

Manager Bai reassured him:

"Wait a little while, I'll apply for it for you in a bit, and we'll talk about it after it's approved."

"Okay, no problem, no rush." ​​Jiang Shu nodded.

Seeing his expression, Manager Bai couldn't help but chuckle: "Aren't you in a hurry? How many times have you asked me this in just a short while?"

Jiang Shu chuckled.

Manager Bai smiled and shook his head: "Then let's exchange contact information. I'll contact you as soon as I have any news."

"Is it an Evolver friend or WeChat?" Jiang Shu asked.

"It's all right."

"Then add them all."

"......it is good."

Having learned from her previous experience of not being able to reach anyone at a crucial moment, Jiang Shu decided to add all available contact methods.

Like Jiang Shu, Manager Bai's WeChat name and ID are also the same—"Get Rich Next Year".

Her real name is Bai Momo.

Whether it's his online name or his real name, they all seem to contrast with Manager Bai's personality and demeanor.

Manager Bai had just put down his phone after accepting Jiang Shu's friend request.

"So, once the application is approved, I will..."

Beep beep beep...

My phone kept ringing.

Manager Bai looked at his phone screen, which was flooded with numerous likes and comments on his WeChat Moments.

She looked at Jiang Shu, who was frantically tapping on her phone, with surprise.

The latter also realized what was happening.

"Ah, sorry, it's just a habit," he said apologetically.

Adding a girl on WeChat and then browsing through her Moments to quickly create a profile of her, roughly guessing her personality, profession, hobbies, circumstances, and upbringing, has become an occupational habit of his.

"What do you mean by 'used to it'?" Manager Bai raised an eyebrow.

“I’m used to liking things.” Jiang Shu explained without changing his expression: “The photos in your WeChat Moments are all so beautiful that I thought I was scrolling through Douyin. You know Douyin, right? As long as I like something, the big data will keep pushing it to me.”

Manager Bai blinked, then laughed, her eyes curving into two crescent moons: "You like watching this? You should have said so earlier! I have even better ones that I haven't posted on my Moments yet. If you like, I can show them to you, provided you work hard and become an excellent agent."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Shu immediately and naturally lowered her head shyly, seemingly unable to meet his gaze.

Seeing Jiang Shu's shy and embarrassed appearance, Manager Bai felt very pleased and said with a smile, "Alright, let's call it a day then. I'll let you know as soon as I have any news."

At this moment, Jiang Shu seemed to remember something, looked up and asked, "Um, it shouldn't be like my colleagues, where one person has to wait a whole day for debugging, right?"

Manager Bai paused for a moment, then smiled and asked softly, "I've already given you my WeChat ID, what do you say?"

Jiang Shu's eyes darted around: "If I can't wait to message you to ask about the progress, or if it's inconvenient to type or send a voice message sometimes, I don't think I'll bother you, right?"

“I can understand if you really can’t help it,” said Director Bai.

"Good good."

......

As Jiang Shu left Manager Bai's office, she kept turning back to look at him.

He sensed that the other person must also have some side business.

At the same time, he told himself that he must stick to his bottom line and not become the other party's plaything.

Of course, if the sincerity is sufficient, then it is acceptable.

Anyway, I was just making the videos online.

Upon arriving at the lobby, Coca-Cola and the others were nowhere to be seen, presumably having successfully begun their mission.

So he didn't stay long and left the third floor directly, returning to Group Six from the strategy area.

After returning the work permit to Shen Mo and briefly explaining the situation, Jiang Shu began her pre-get off work slack-off routine.

However, he wasn't simply waiting to get off work; he went to the restroom again.

He logged onto the dark web again.

To be precise, it should be called the Fellowship—that's when he noticed the name.

It means to share weal and woe, and that should be the meaning.

Upon opening the forum, Jiang Shu posted another thread.

Title: Does the spiritual root of love and desire still have any meaning?

Text: [It seems like the Desire Spirit Root is really struggling right now. I just finished chatting with a pro player with the Desire Spirit Root, and he said the survival environment for it is terrible. Its combat power can't compare to the Courage Spirit Root, its lifespan and recovery ability can't compare to the Life Spirit Root, and its intelligence can't match the Wisdom Spirit Root. Moreover, other spirit roots have a relatively reasonable and powerful stat allocation plan from beginning to end, but the Desire Spirit Root doesn't. Adding other stats results in too low multipliers, and only adding Charisma isn't very useful. If it can't obtain powerful skills in the early game, is the Desire Spirit Root just doomed?]

After sending it, he used his administrator privileges to approve it himself, and then waited quietly for a reply.

Yes, he wanted to learn about effective skill point allocation strategies and combat systems.

It's not just about having a spiritual root of love and desire; it's best if you also have other spiritual roots.

Because of the monkey show, Jiang Shu doesn't need to spend too many points on speed and physical strength. Because of the Great Wilderness Heart, he also doesn't really need to increase his intelligence to increase magic immunity.

But as the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

He still needs to find out how other high-level evolvers allocate their stat points and what their respective focuses are.

Knowing the general outline, he can be prepared if he clashes with other evolved beings, and understand how to catch them off guard by attacking from different angles.

In addition, he also wanted to know how, generally speaking, an evolver with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root could make it to the top.

Jiang Shu had taken to heart what Manager Bai had said earlier: many skills have a level as a prerequisite. He wondered if the reason why the Love and Desire Spirit Root was not strong in the early stages was because some key skills could not be used in the early stages.

Then he wondered if there was any skill combination that could bring about a qualitative change in an evolver with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root in the mid or late game.

If I knew this sooner, I could be prepared, and the spiritual root points I accumulated wouldn't be useless.

Jiang Shu knew that if his goal was to buy the best headphones under 500 yuan, asking "What are the best headphones under 500 yuan?" would be less effective than asking "There are no good headphones under 500 yuan, and I don't know who uses them."

So he posted another one of these phishing posts.

As expected, such an eye-catching title soon attracted a lot of replies.

However, Jiang Shu doesn't have time to look at them one by one yet.

He's busy controlling the comments section.

Because someone has already recognized him.

Although his string of numerical IDs seemed quite ordinary among many numerical IDs and had no memorable features, he had posted two phishing posts in one day, both of which were filled with an unpleasant sense of pontificating. People who had seen Jiang Shu's previous post would definitely recognize him.

So the first thing those people did was reply with things like, "The original poster is using their own mother to attack others again."

In order not to affect those who follow, Jiang Shu needs to handle these replies transparently.

It took me quite a while to delete, about ten minutes.

And his private messages have been flooded with red dots.

Jiang Shu only stopped when there were almost no more discordant voices in the comments section, and almost everyone was focused on the question itself, so that he had time to carefully read everyone's replies.

[Second floor: Dude, what kind of big shot are you talking about to say something like that to you?]

[Third floor: (quoting second floor) I guess this person is at a higher level than the original poster, but their understanding is limited. It's hard to say whether they've even considered the deeper meaning behind their words.]

[Fourth floor: OP, the person who tells you this is either genuinely ignorant or purely malicious; they're completely misleading you.]

[Fifth floor: The three above all seem to have a spiritual root of love and desire...]

[Sixth Floor: (Quoting Fourth Floor) This is not misleading; the spiritual root of love and desire is indeed useless. /Grin/Grin]

[Seventh floor: (quoting sixth floor) That shows your understanding isn't very high either.]

[Eighth Floor: (Quoting Seventh Floor) Here we go again. If the classics don't agree with you, then you're considered intellectually inferior. Fine, since you've already declared yourself a lover of desire, what can I say? I can only go along with you.]

Next, a verbal battle broke out between the two people on the fourth and sixth floors.

Jiang Shu stroked his chin, flipping it down with great interest.

That's how netizens are these days. They don't need any deliberate guidance; just throw out a question, and they'll start arguing on their own. It's so interesting.

But after all, they are all high-level evolvers of level twelve or above, so their quality is relatively much higher.

Although they were at odds, there was no profanity.

Moreover, the person on the fourth floor is clearly not just a simple person with the spiritual root of love and desire; they are truly knowledgeable. Their speech is not only clear and logical but also full of classical allusions.

Various powerful figures with love and desire spiritual roots were mentioned, various skill point allocation schemes were listed, and various unsolvable skill sets were cited as examples.

But no matter how eloquently the fourth floor spoke, the sixth floor always managed to refute all arguments with sheer force.

[I'll say it again: the percentage of advanced evolvers with the Love and Desire Spiritual Root is less than 10%. Only Elder Wuzheng can stand at the pinnacle, and even he isn't ranked very high.]

After holding it in for a long time, the fourth-floor resident finally managed to utter:

Does a large number of high-level evolved beings prove that their spiritual roots are powerful?

The sixth floor replied swiftly, as if it had been prepared all along:

[If, and I mean if, I were to use the "Bloodborne Berserk" ability unlocked at level ten, instantly going berserk, blocking all senses, and becoming unaffected by your charisma (your charisma would only be used to activate spell-based skills), but my strength, speed, and physical toughness would all double, my muscles would be connected to my brain, and my fists would replace thinking, then how would you respond?]

Finally, the person on the fourth floor couldn't hold back any longer and swore.

[So your mother has the spiritual root of courage, no wonder she's so funny!]

[So what if we have the Courage Spiritual Root? We completely crush you in every way! You still have to get through the early game, but we're strong from level one to level eighteen, with no weak period. So what? Am I arrogant? What can you do about it?]

Jiang Shu looked at these words, his expression quite interesting:

"Another unexpected bonus?"

Chapter 134 The Mysterious Disappearance

Just like in martial arts novels.

The insights gained from watching a duel between masters far surpass those gained from years of isolated study.

The two engaged in a war of words, seemingly a back-and-forth of adding water to flour and flour to water, with each person immediately finding something else to counter whatever the other said.

But in Jiang Shu's view, this was a battle of wits between masters.

Because both of them are level twelve or above evolved beings, they are knowledgeable enough that they know far more about various skills and the advantages and disadvantages of other evolved beings than Jiang Shu.

This is somewhat similar to a military sand table exercise.

Based on various historical battles or actual situations, various conditions are assumed, and then the two sides begin to compete.

While this has certain limitations—after all, there are many instances in history where a smaller force triumphed over a stronger one, even in simulations, and these victories cannot be replicated—it still has significant reference value most of the time.

Therefore, even though the two were only discussing things theoretically, Jiang Shu benefited greatly from it.

They not only learned about the tactics of other evolved beings, but also gained inspiration from their counter-attacks.

Although there are only four types of spiritual roots, and there is no obvious restraint relationship between them, many different schools of thought have emerged based on the core skills of different evolvers.

For example, Jiang Shu belongs to the stacking style, as mentioned by an Evolver in the comments section. However, the other party also pointed out that the strength of this style depends on the amplification of skills and items. Although it is very powerful when fully formed, the conditions for forming it are extremely high. Therefore, unless you happen to obtain the relevant key skills or items, there is no need to specifically build this system.

As that Courageous Spirit Root said, he belongs to the school of thought that abandons the brain.

This school of thought is very restrained in its use of love, desire, and spiritual wisdom, relying on casting spells on the other person at a spiritual level.

You don't need to cast a spell; I'll go insane on my own.

However, there is a technical school within the Courage Spirit Root that relies on combat awareness and willpower to acquire combat power, but this school is precisely what is countered.

Therefore, even with the same spiritual root, there are different ways to fight. It's not like what Jiang Shu thought before posting the message, where you can master a fixed routine and be invincible with just one move.

Each situation needs to be analyzed individually.

But one thing is clear.

That is, most evolved beings build their systems based on the characteristics they have acquired and the skills they have mastered after sublimation. Very few people are like Jiang Shu, who have become conscious before reaching level six and already have enough skills and items to build their systems.

Jiang Shu was ahead of the main group.
