No strange things are allowed to evolve!

As for adding skill points, it's actually based on the system, and Jiang Shu's idea on this part is not wrong.

The values ​​before level six are not considered important by most Evolvers in the comments section, including the two Evolvers who wrote dozens of comments.

Because there are too few.

The total is only a little over 150 points.

However, as the level increases, the number of evolution points required increases exponentially. In the later stages, the difference in evolution points between levels may be more than 150, so the impact is really too small.

Therefore, what lower-level evolvers consider extremely important is simply not worth considering for these higher-level evolvers. As long as it helps them transition to a higher level and meets their current needs, they'll add it without hesitation.

After learning all this, Jiang Shu felt somewhat relieved.

This proves that I haven't gone astray.

Although my skill point allocation is slightly unbalanced, it doesn't have a big impact. Even if I need to change my path later, the cost of the change won't be too high.

At this point, Jiang Shu's goal can be considered to have been achieved.

Although consulting Shen Mo or even the bureau chief would likely provide the answers, forums have their advantages, namely, they offer sufficient privacy. Otherwise, having to consider what to say and what not to say would be exhausting.

In addition, since the replies came from different people, and they were responding from different perspectives, Jiang Shu was able to see things more comprehensively and was not limited by his own viewpoint.

So in Jiang Shu's view, this was no forum at all, but the Jixia Academy, the gathering place for the Hundred Schools of Thought.

He began to understand the confusion and bewilderment of those who had created the Fellowship.

Meanwhile, people in the comments section were still arguing.

Reports about his posts were sent directly to his account.

Jiang Shu thought for a moment, and then sealed himself with the seal.

Two reasons.

First, there are people in the forum who know him, such as those who are sending him private messages now, but there are also people who don't know him. He doesn't want people who don't know him to find out his background by checking his profile.

If everyone knows this, who will take the bait next time I go fishing?

Secondly, although it was obtained in this way, it can still be considered important knowledge.

He doesn't want the knowledge he's worked so hard to acquire to be picked up and used directly by others.

Therefore, the best outcome is that only you can see it after it's blocked.

It's wonderful that it can be treated as private intellectual property, yet we can review it from time to time to learn something new.

After the post was published, Jiang Shu's backstage area immediately became quiet.

There's nothing we can do; it's a digital ID. Once the post is gone, even if others want to criticize him, they can't find anyone to target.

After all, you can't take screenshots or photos, so who can remember such a long string of numbers?

Jiang Shu closed the page, glanced at the time, stood up from the toilet, and stretched a little.

Time to go home!

Five minutes later.

After greeting Shen Mo, Jiang Shu swiped his card and then leisurely walked out of the main gate of the Bureau of Different Principles.

Today marked the first time he officially left work.

Although I had already familiarized myself with the process beforehand, that was when I went to eat with Bai Lian and the others.

This is the first time I've ever walked out of my workplace and gone home in a proper way, ending my day like a regular office worker.

He found it very novel.

Since graduating from university, he has never had a formal job.

Even if they do, they usually only work there for a short time before quitting because they find doing the same thing day after day boring. Sometimes they even run away on the very first day they start.

It's been a long time since I've experienced this kind of situation where I have a stable job but still look forward to the next day.

After thinking for a moment, Jiang Shu took out his phone and made a call.

The call was answered quickly.

"Hey? I found a job. Are you busy today? Let's go out for a meal."

Jiang Shu said to the person on the other end of the phone.

On the other side was Jiang Shu's friend, who, after learning about his situation, told him that if science didn't work, he might as well try metaphysics, which ultimately changed the timeline.

I expected a prompt reply, but to my surprise, it wasn't my friend's voice on the other end of the phone.

"You are... Xiao Jiang?"

It was the voice of a somewhat haggard woman.

Jiang Shu felt a sense of familiarity and tentatively asked, "Aunt Wang?"

"it's me."

Jiang Shu nodded; he hadn't misremembered the voice.

He and his best friend slept in bunk beds in college. Jiang Shu met his friend's mother when she came to visit, and they chatted. After they became familiar with each other, whenever his friend brought food for his friend, she would sometimes bring some for Jiang Shu as well.

However, after graduating from university, Jiang Shu fell ill and lost contact with her friends, so she naturally never saw the other party's mother again.

Jiang Shu didn't think much of it: "Auntie, how have you been lately? I saw Cheng Ji a few days ago and he mentioned you. He said you have high blood pressure now. I was thinking of visiting you sometime."

My friend's surname is Liang, and his given name is Chengji.

"It's alright, thank you for your concern," the other person replied.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Shu asked curiously, "Auntie, is Cheng Ji busy right now? Why were you the one who answered the phone?"

For some reason, when this topic was brought up, the person on the other end of the phone couldn't hold back anymore and started sobbing.

Jiang Shu immediately sensed something was wrong and hurriedly asked, "Auntie, what happened?"

"I sincerely hope that he...he..."

The person on the other end of the phone sounded like they were crying so hard they couldn't breathe because they were so heartbroken.

Jiang Shu comforted her, telling her not to rush and to talk things out slowly.

After a long pause, the other person finally calmed down: "I hope he's gone missing..."

"Disappeared?" Jiang Shu asked, puzzled. "When did this happen?"

"yesterday..."

The other party said intermittently:

“He disappeared all day yesterday. His dad and I thought he went to work early in the morning, but he didn’t come back until the evening. We couldn’t get through to him on the phone or he didn’t reply to our messages.”

We went to his workplace to look for him, but to our surprise, he wasn't there at all.

When we got home, we found his phone, wallet, ID card, and other personal belongings all untouched in the house.

We immediately went to the property management office to check the security footage, and it turned out that after he went home the night before last, he hadn't left the community at all; he had simply disappeared.

"Did you call the police?" Jiang Shu asked.

“I reported it, and the police came to investigate, but they didn’t believe me at all. Then they checked the surveillance footage in the neighborhood again, and the result was the same. His father is so worried that he had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital. His aunt is taking care of him, and I’m alone at home watching his phone. I really don’t know what to do.”

Are you home alone?

"I have a police officer with me now."

"I understand, I'm coming now."

"No...no need for you to trouble yourself..."

"It's alright, it's what I should do," Jiang Shu insisted.

Hang up the phone.

Jiang Shu frowned.

In the past, he would have thought this strange situation was haunted.

But now, he feels it has something to do with the evolved beings.

Could it be some kind of evil evolved being like the host?

But... why would this happen to a friend?

Jiang Shu didn't think much of it. In any case, he would only know after seeing it in person. As long as he could confirm that it was something the evolved beings said, he would call for Shen Mo.

Jiang Shu opened her WeChat chat history with her friend and prepared to take a taxi to the address the friend had mentioned.

But at that moment...

"Hey! Wait a minute!"

Jiang Shu turned around, then said with some surprise:

"Consultant Liu? You're here again today?"

"What do you mean 'again'? As an advisor, isn't it normal for me to come over?" Advisor Liu walked out of the main entrance with elegant steps and said to Jiang Shu, "You don't have a car, do you? Where are you going? Let me see if it's on my way, and if it is, I'll give you a ride."

"You're planning to give me a ride whether it's on your way or not, right?" Jiang Shu's expression was strange.

Normally, he wouldn't mind playing along with the other person; he might even get a free meal.

But I have other things to do today and really don't have time to play along with her.

"No need, I'll just take a taxi."

"You're too kind. Alright then, take care on your journey." Consultant Liu nodded and swayed her hips as she headed towards the parking lot.

Jiang Shu frowned as she watched his retreating figure.

Well...

So straightforward?

That's a pretty high rank.

"Um..."

Jiang Shu thought about it for a moment, but something felt off, so she jogged over.

"Advisor Liu, please wait a moment."

"what happened?"

Jiang Shu smiled and said:

"I've been thinking about it, so I'll just hitch a ride with you. I have something urgent to do, and I'm afraid I won't make it in time if I take a taxi."

"What's the urgent matter?" Consultant Liu asked curiously.

“I have a friend who has gone missing. I just heard about it, and after listening to the family’s description, it seems like it was done by an evolved being. I just had a second thought and was wondering if I could ask you to come with me to take a look.”

As Jiang Shu spoke, she looked into the other person's eyes, seemingly unintentionally.

There was no particular reaction.

Consultant Liu simply became serious and asked, "Is your friend also an evolved being?"

“No, just an ordinary person,” Jiang Shu replied.

"Okay, I understand. Get in the car." Consultant Liu didn't say much more. After gesturing for Jiang Shu to get into the passenger seat, he started the car.

On the way, Consultant Liu briefly learned about the situation and then comforted Jiang Shu, telling her not to panic. If it was really the work of an evolved being, she would definitely be able to find out the clues.

Before long, the two arrived near the bar where Jiang Shu had been drinking with his friends.

My friend's house is just a few streets away from there.

After parking the car, Jiang Shu immediately entered the residential area and went upstairs.

Soon, Jiang Shu met his friend's mother.

When he saw the person behind his friend's mother, both of them were taken aback.

"White lotus?"

Chapter 135 Who's in Charge?

Jiang Shu was slightly surprised.

When I didn't see her in the group this morning, I asked Keke and the others. Lei Bi said that Bai Lian was nowhere to be found.
