From now on, he has nothing to do with this matter. The follow-up work, public relations, and control of public opinion will all be handled by specialists.
The only threat to him was the abbot he hadn't caught.
"Next, an urgent news briefing: Yunfu Mountain in the western suburbs of Tancheng experienced a violent tremor at 5:23 PM today. Investigations indicate that a large karst cave within the mountain collapsed, causing instability. There are currently no reports of casualties..."
Seeing the explanation immediately appear on the evening news, Jiang Shu belatedly realized what had happened.
Many of the strange things we've seen on TV over the years might actually be the work of evolved beings.
He couldn't help but marvel at the sheer power of the Bureau of Different Systems.
For so many years, under the intervention of the Bureau of Extraordinary Systems, he, as an ordinary person, was completely unaware that such an extraordinary world had always existed around him.
At this moment, the Overlord walked in from the other side of the hall.
"How is it?" Jiang Shu asked.
"All indicators are normal, but she's too weak. We've already given her intravenous nutrition, and the medical staff have applied recovery buffs. She'll wake up soon." Ba Wang smiled and reassured Jiang Shu, "Don't worry, we have the most professional and top-notch team here. Nothing will go wrong."
"Okay." Jiang Shu nodded: "Then I'll leave it to you. I'm going to leave now."
"No." The Overlord was taken aback: "You're just leaving like that?"
"if not?"
"Shouldn't the normal situation be that you stay by her side, and when she wakes up, the first thing she sees is you dozing next to her, and then she'll fall hopelessly in love with you?" Ba Wang gestured and asked with a wink.
"Watch less short dramas." Jiang Shu shrugged: "Real life isn't that melodramatic."
"Even if we take a step back and say that you call someone out, and then leave after something happens, that's not appropriate either."
Jiang Shu thought about it and felt that it made sense: "But it's almost seven o'clock, I should at least go and eat something first, right?"
"I'll take you to the cafeteria." Ba Wang pulled out his brand-new ID card from his pocket and waved it in front of Jiang Shu: "I just tried it at noon, it's top-notch. I'll take care of your dinner."
"I'm so sorry," Jiang Shu said, feigning reluctance.
"We're all buddies, no need to be so polite." With that, Ba Wang was about to take Jiang Shu to try out the food.
Just then, someone jogged towards the two of them.
Jiang Shu had met this person before. He was the driver on the way back. I think his name was Chocolate, and he was in the same group as Ba Wang and the others.
"Hot Teacher, the boss wants you to come over."
Jiang Shu asked, puzzled, "What's wrong? Didn't the person who took the notes say that this matter has nothing to do with me? Is there anything else?"
"I don't know either, the boss didn't tell me," Chocolate replied with a smile. "He just told me to come and invite you over."
"Alright then." Jiang Shu nodded.
Watching Chocolate lead Jiang Shu to Shen Mo's office, Ba Wang called out to Jiang Shu's retreating figure, "I'll wait for you to have dinner together."
Jiang Shu didn't turn around, but simply waved her hand to indicate that she understood.
But Chocolate suddenly remembered something, stopped in her tracks, turned around and said to Ba Wang, "By the way, the boss told you not to just sit around, go get him and Spicy Teacher two meals."
"Uh..."
......
Bureau of Different Principles, Execution Department, Group Six.
Shen Mo frowned as he examined the documents that had just been delivered.
When he brought the Snow King back earlier, he felt that he looked familiar, so he kept an eye on him and had someone check the information.
"They're from the Holy Temple..."
If he were just an ordinary member of the Holy Church, that would be one thing, but Shen Mo has always been fearless. He dares to turn the table around when eating, dares to switch to the songs of his superiors when singing, and even interrupts his superiors during meetings. He lives his life with the motto "I'm super brave".
In addition, the headquarters of the Holy Church is also in Tancheng, and it is close to the Bureau of Different Principles. They usually have a pretty good relationship and interact quite a lot. As the most distinctive team leader among the executive subordinates, Shen Mo can be said to be famous in the Holy Church, if not renowned.
Therefore, even if it is the Holy Temple, which ranks among the top five in terms of organizational size in the evolutionary circle, as long as those few high-ranking members do not personally intervene, he can completely disregard them and does not need to worry about any negative impact from their people being injured in his operations.
The problem is that Snow Queen is not an ordinary member of the Holy Temple.
Looking at the record, many paragraphs of which were crossed out, Shen Mo felt a headache coming on.
Even the middle levels of the Holy Temple don't receive this level of encryption. Why would a level four evolver like her go to such lengths?
Could she be some big shot's biological daughter or even illegitimate child?
If someone of this status gets injured, then things become a bit complicated.
Moreover, this wasn't what Shen Mo cared about most. What he was more concerned about was how someone of his status could be associating with Jiang Shu, a newcomer whom the Overlord had mentioned.
Could it be that they're also after Jiang Shu and want to steal him away?
"A honey trap? How despicable!"
Shen Mo angrily slammed the Snow King's file onto his desk.
If his status allowed, he would already be considering providing Jiang Shu with some young models.
Just then, there was a knock on the office door.
Shen Mo put the file into the drawer: "Come in."
Jiang Shu pushed open the door and went straight to the sofa opposite the desk, sitting down: "You were looking for me?"
His movements were so natural that Shen Mo hadn't even uttered the word "sit" before he forcibly swallowed it back and instead asked, "Have you completed all the procedures?"
"Ah."
"I heard from the Overlord that you're a newcomer, and including the Trial Incubation Grounds, you've only experienced two incubation grounds?"
"Yes."
"Oh."
silence.
"And then?" Jiang Shu looked calmly at Shen Mo.
Shen Mo appeared calm and collected on the surface, but in reality, he was extremely anxious.
He didn't know how to proceed.
Normally, people beg and plead to join the Bureau of Different Principles, and once they're in, they beg and plead again to be assigned to the Execution Department, because the Execution Department offers the fastest promotions and the most generous rewards. It's fair to say that all other departments within the Bureau of Different Principles serve the Execution Department.
He was always the one picking and choosing others; he never invited anyone else.
I can't even open my mouth!
"Hmm..." Shen Mo said with a straight face, "I wanted to ask, after you've taken a look around, what are your thoughts on the Bureau of Different Systems?"
"The atmosphere was nice, and the people were all quite friendly, but I don't know why they were all looking at me strangely."
Upon hearing this, Shen Mo stared at the Want Want logo on Jiang Shu's red short-sleeved shirt without saying a word.
"Hmm...and then I heard from Ba Wang that the food was good, and the person who treated my companion was very professional." Jiang Shu pondered for a moment and then squeezed out two more words.
That's it?
"It's gone."
"Alright." Shen Mo sighed. "Then let me ask you one more question. You and your companion probably met at the last incubator, right? But you seem to get along very well. Do you know her well?"
Jiang Shu's expression turned somewhat displeased: "I have no obligation to answer your question; this is my private matter."
"Uh... I was just asking." Shen Mo hurriedly used Ba Wang as a shield to explain: "Because Ba Wang is also on good terms with you, but you haven't added him as a friend, and he seems a little sad. As his leader, I wanted to ask and show some concern."
"Is that so?" Jiang Shu's attitude softened slightly: "Actually, I'm not very familiar with her. I just don't know much about the world of evolved beings, so I consulted her, and that's how this happened."
Ok!
Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that Jiang Shu did not know Xue Wang's identity, and Xue Wang had not yet had the chance to seduce him. They were just ordinary friends.
There's a chance!
"So..."
"what?"
"that is..."
"Ah."
"Have you...?"
"Speak."
"I think..."
Shen Mo's expression was contorted, and he couldn't utter the words he wanted to say for a long time.
at last.
"You want me to join the Bureau of Different Organizations, right? You can just say so directly, instead of beating around the bush and asking if I've joined any other organizations."
"Thank God." Shen Mo breathed a sigh of relief.
But when he met Jiang Shu's eyes and saw the inscrutable smile on Jiang Shu's face, he was stunned.
Then he gritted his teeth.
That bastard...he knew all along why I called him here, he's been stringing me along the whole time!
But what made him grit his teeth even more was yet to come.
“Well then, I’ll get straight to the point.” Jiang Shu leaned back and crossed his legs: “What are the core competencies of the Bureau of Different Systems? What are its prospects? And how does it plan to iterate on its existing methods, identify the pain points of the incubator, explore the blue ocean of evolution, and open up new tracks for evolution?”
"What's going on?" Shen Mo was completely confused.
"Let me be even more blunt then," Jiang Shu said helplessly, finally revealing his ugly, gold-digging nature: "What benefits do I get?"
"..."
Shen Mo's lips twitched.
Oh no! This is a tricky idea!
Chapter 52 So-called Treatment (Please read on Monday! Requesting monthly votes!)
After learning that there are different types of organizations among the evolved beings, Jiang Shu has been looking for a circle where he can establish himself.
Although he has great potential, possesses the Primordial Spiritual Root, and has the skills and items that can transform ordinary evolvers into top-tier powerhouses, he has not yet fully grown up. The power of a single individual is very weak, and he is well aware of this.
Unlike the world of ordinary people, the rules of the world of evolved beings are obviously more cruel and more dog-eat-dog. Jiang Shu cannot guarantee that all evolved beings he encounters will act within the established framework. On the road to seeking pleasure, there will inevitably be various troubles and obstacles.
If you want to stop worrying about these trivial matters, then finding a powerful backer is the best option.
An organization that can provide resources, intelligence, and assistance in critical moments can clear away most of the troublesome problems.
Just like when everyone first met at the hatchery, when Snow King only slightly revealed that he had a large organization behind him, Overlord and Wang Tiezhu immediately changed their attitude towards him. He still remembers it vividly.
Simply by using someone's name or influence, one can gain the respect of ordinary evolvers, avoid unnecessary trouble inside and outside the hatchery, and even gain a voice, which shows the importance of having a powerful backer.
Take the Yunfu Temple incident as another example. If Jiang Shu had handled it as an agent of the Bureau of Different Principles, it might not have been so complicated, and the abbot would not have been left as a potential threat.
Although it's quite exciting, Jiang Shu always prefers a one-off thrill. After all, his threshold keeps rising, and once he's done it once, he won't find it interesting anymore. So he prefers to have his fun and then part ways, rather than acting like the abbot who seems like he might pop up again at any time to disgust him.
Therefore, Jiang Shu also had high expectations for the Bureau of Different Systems.
He had actually considered the organization Snow King belonged to, but he hadn't forgotten about Hard Gum's attempt to assassinate Snow King.
The organization that Snow King belongs to is not official and has a very clear stance. Such a clear stance is bound to attract some groups with opposing views.
For Jiang Shu, who didn't want to cause trouble outside the incubator, this was actually a negative outcome upon closer examination.
The Bureau of Different Principles, being an official organization with a neutral stance and the industry leader, is clearly a better fit for him.
However, this does not mean completely abandoning the organization that Snow King belongs to. With Snow King as a friend, it is not impossible to establish some personal relationships. Moreover, judging from Snow King's attitude towards the official, the two organizations should have a good relationship. Since there is no conflict between the two sides, it is not a bad thing to have more friends and more options.
Commonly known as a backup plan.
However, even though he had this idea, he certainly wouldn't say it out loud.
The more you want something, the greater the price you have to pay to get it.
He's not the one in a hurry right now.
"Do you know who you're negotiating with?" Shen Mo asked with a seemingly smiling smile. "Do you know how many people outside want to get in but can't?"
"Did you invite them out?" Jiang Shu blinked.
"..." Shen Mo paused for a moment, then said, "No."
