Their commission was suspicious.

"Hey, Luo, get serious and stop slacking off." Bai Zhi, who was sitting next to Chen Luo, nudged him.

"Oh well, I'm not on their list anyway, why should I take it so seriously?" Chen Luo said lazily as he sat at the conference table, while his hands kept copying down the Mebius Laboratory safety rules.

[I was the one who gave that list to Ye Yunshang. How could I not know when it would be announced and which person would be mentioned?]

Chen Luo never expected that after returning home, he would not only be assigned tasks by Ye Yunshang, but also be dragged by Ye Yunshang to attend a meeting.

Chen Luo is currently sitting in a large conference hall, and what looks somewhat familiar to him is the layout, which resembles the conference room in the Immortal Realm.

Of course, this is just the layout; the size of the round tables is different. This conference room is much smaller than the conference room in the Immortal Realm.

Chen Luo had reason to suspect that the new round table conference room in the Immortal Realm was copied from the idea of ​​this conference room.

However, the person sitting in Chen Luo's seat in the Immortal Realm conference room is now the Celestial Master from Longhu Mountain.

"What is he copying?" The guide walked curiously to Chen Luo's side and looked at what Chen Luo was copying.

"Laboratory safety guidelines?"

"Game contract. Copy the laboratory safety rules 100 times, although I don't know which laboratory safety rules they are from." Chen Luo said as he copied.

Don't ask, the answer is the abyss passage.

I really need to go through the Abyss Passage again, and then collect a bunch of game contracts as an excuse for my strange behavior!

"You really do come across some really strange contracts quite often."

"Guide, go back and sit down," said the person in charge of maintaining order.

"Tch." The guide curled his lip in displeasure, but still obediently sat back down.

A place four locations away from Chen Luo.

"Honestly, why am I not the one sitting next to A Luo?" Yun Xia said unhappily, looking at Bai Zhi across from her.

The seats in this conference room were reserved in advance and arranged according to the order of appearance. Chen Luo's Su Yuan, as a later S-level talent, was ranked relatively low.

Bai Zhi seemed to notice Yun Xia's gaze, smiled, and moved closer to Chen Luo. She appeared to be watching Chen Luo intently as he copied the punishment text, but in reality...

"That guy is definitely provoking us, isn't he?" Yun Xia couldn't help but slam her hand on the table and stand up.

"Mage, sit down." A force that seemed to appear out of nowhere made Yun Xia sit back in her seat.

"Ugh, you're so annoying, Discipline!" Yun Xia looked at the black-haired young woman who seemed aloof and unapproachable.

"I know, but please cooperate. Thank you," the woman said calmly after glancing at the angry Yun Xia.

"Tch." Although Yun Xia's gaze towards that woman wasn't very friendly, she didn't immediately stand up and confront her.

Besides Yun Xia being in the wrong, it also shows that this woman's strength must be considerable.

Chapter 834 The "Scholarship" of the Immortal Realm

Hearing the noise from Yunxia across the way, Chen Luo couldn't help but look up at the woman Yunxia was complaining about.

She was a woman holding a thorny codex; she looked quite serious and had a beautiful face.

"Who is that?" Chen Luo asked curiously while copying the punishment text.

For Chen Luo, the only purpose of attending this boring meeting was to free himself up so he could finish writing those 100 times as punishment.

If Ye Yunshang hadn't insisted on dragging him to Chenluo, he wouldn't have bothered attending this meeting.

Chen Luo naturally asked Bai Zhi, who was sitting right next to him.

Hearing Chen Luo's question, Su Yuan, who was sitting on the other side of Chen Luo, also looked at Bai Zhi, who was sitting one seat away from her, with great curiosity.

Su Yuan and Chen Luo were in similar situations; both were not very familiar with the various aspects of the main world.

Bai Zhi, perhaps due to her long time as a gifted individual or her professional training in the Inquisition, possesses an encyclopedic knowledge of the various underworld practices in China.

"She's an S-rank talent user. You can call her Judge. And her talent isn't a secret; it's called Discipline. Because her ability is relatively public, many people just call her Discipline." Bai Zhi didn't disappoint Chen Luo and Su Yuan's expectations and began to explain.

“Precepts…”

Because he had just created the "Precepts" among the 13 Heroes under his own hands, Chen Luo had a special feeling about this word.

“Every country has S-class talents who show their faces in public, serving as the face of each country’s talents. Their abilities are mostly well-known, but they are also the type that people can’t easily take action against even if they are well-known. For example, the Discipline in front of us, or the Church’s War Angel Yvette.”

Bai Zhi's feelings were slightly complicated when the name Yvette was mentioned.

“Remember when we first entered the conference room, everyone had to put a checkmark on the notice board by the door? That’s one of the abilities of the Discipline, the Contract,” Bai Zhi said.

"Oh, it's that notice with lots of precautions written on it at the entrance, right? I remember it, I remember it." Su Yuan remembered something.

But as soon as Su Yuan's voice rose a little, she suddenly felt a strong force compelling her to involuntarily lower it.

"Hmm?" Su Yuan felt something was off, then looked towards the source of the suppressive force—the Discipline.

“One of the notices on that bulletin board says—unless it’s for official business, loud noises are prohibited,” Bai Zhi said.

"And Su Yuan's voice involuntarily became softer because she triggered this commandment."

"This is one of the powers of the precepts: to promulgate its own laws (contracts) within a certain scope. All those who agree to these laws (contracts) must abide by them at specific times and places. If they violate them, they will be subject to considerable coercion, forcing them to comply."

"The checkmarks that everyone put in the blank spaces on the bulletin board just now are equivalent to their consent to this law."

"The notice board just now had rules such as not making loud noises, not moving around, and not attacking each other in the meeting room. That's why so many S-level and A-level talents gathered in this meeting room and nothing happened."

After all, A-level and S-level talents are generally not very obedient to discipline.

Fortunately, the terms of the rules written on the bulletin board were not too excessive, so the S-rank talents would not have any conflict with the rules over this matter.

“Within the scope of its own promulgated laws, precepts possess the strongest suppressive power. Therefore, they are generally used to maintain order in important or diplomatic occasions,” Bai Zhi said.

"Law is a contract? That's interesting."

In Chen Luo's view, the current contractual ability of the Discipline is like a scaled-down version of the Book of Contracts. Although it lacks absolute coercive power, its ability to suppress numerous S-rank talents who have agreed to this law shows that this ability is not weak, and it is only one of its many capabilities.

"If we consider the precepts as an imaginary enemy, she is one of the most difficult to deal with. Without a contractual location, her scope of enforcement would extend to the entire world. If someone breaks the law, she can intervene to stop them. Although her coercive power is much weaker than that of this conference room, she is still very troublesome."

"Because of her abilities, bad people would be restrained by the rules if they attacked her, while good people would not attack her."

The commandments have become so difficult that even the angels of death find them troublesome.

Because in a sense, murder is also an illegal act.

"Wait, what country's law is she following? Does she change the law every time she goes to a new country, or does she only follow the laws of China?" Su Yuan suddenly realized the key point.

The laws of each country are different, and some are even conflicting.

"It's her own law. It's said that the Thorn Codex in her possession records the laws she will enforce. These laws were written by her, but no one has ever seen their contents. In short, in a just war, the power of the Commandments is amplified infinitely, while in an unjust war, the power of the Commandments is severely weakened. Therefore, the Commandments rarely participate in combat."

Following the principle that "a person's awakened talent can reveal their soul," Jielu is a relatively upright person, but upright without being pedantic. Therefore, within the limits of what they can tolerate, the other S-level talents are too lazy to contradict Jielu.

"This ability sounds amazing."

Chen Luo always felt that this ability was similar to Aponia's discipline ability.

Could this person's talent be based on Aponia?

However, the talent may have undergone some localized modifications.

Chen Luo silently scanned the S-level talents sitting nearby, memorizing their information, intending to make friends with them one last time.

The only downside is that he can't be alone with each S-level talent now. With so many talents gathered here, Chen Luo doesn't want to use [You Are a Puppet] to steal S-level talents anymore.

We can only wait until someone is alone later.

Moreover, the number of S-level talents that the group network can currently support is also limited.

Since there aren't many people using puppet-like characters right now, the limit is probably about 5 more S-level talents to upload.

Unless a new S-class talent truly becomes a puppet.

"I always feel that each of these S-level talents has an irresistible talent."

In summary, with the precepts in charge of maintaining order, the entire meeting was largely conducted without any unexpected incidents, and the distribution of items proceeded quite smoothly.

Although some sect leaders had doubts about the quantity of supplies from the upper realm, the distribution of the property went relatively smoothly due to Ye Yunshang's production of receipts for comparison and the binding force of the precepts.

In reality, the strength of each sect leader is not necessarily stronger than that of an S-level talent. Even S-level talents are completely suppressed by discipline after agreeing to the bulletin board contract, let alone these sect leaders.

In the conference room, those seated near the head of the table were representatives and leaders of the sects who had the profits to be distributed. Those seated closer to the back were the bored S-rank talents.

Of course, there are also A-level assistants like Bai Zhi, who are responsible for protecting and supporting S-level talents.

"Alright, the resources of each sect have been distributed. Next, we'll discuss the reward funds stored in the relevant departments and distributed to the outstanding talents so far." Ye Yunshang's voice rang out, immediately attracting the attention of almost all the S-rank talents.

Why do you think these S-level talents are willing to sit here obediently? Isn't it because the Immortal Realm has special scholarships?

"Alright, Luo, stop writing. Scholarship, scholarship," Bai Zhi said, tugging at Chen Luo's sleeve.

"I'm not interested. All I want to do right now is finish copying these 100 times as punishment. Seriously, they won't even let me use two pens to write! How awful!" Chen Luo said with a disgruntled expression.

Well, carbon paper won't work either.

Because the requirement is to copy it over and over again.

That's outrageous!

As for that special scholarship?

Chen Luo had already seen it.

Besides, how can you be sure that the ring wasn't thrown into the river?

Therefore, copying as punishment is more important than scholarships.

"Given the current distribution of gifted individuals across the land, the upper realm has decreed that the scholarship sharing ratio between S-level gifted individuals and all gifted individuals below S-level will be 5:5," Ye Yunshang said, holding the report.

"Wait, does this mean that the approximately 20 S-level talents in the country now have to have the same amount of resources as the hundreds of thousands of S-level talents below S-level?" a sect representative raised his hand and asked.

S-level talents are extremely rare. Although Chen Luo has five S-level talents around him, there are only about 20 S-level talents in the entire country.

There are fewer than 100 S-class talents in the entire world.

When Yunxia and Chen Luo introduced themselves, they said that there were only a few dozen S-level talents at present.

As for how many tens? Who knows?

No country would completely disclose something like this.

Perhaps there are also hidden S-level talents like Chen Luo.

There are many more A-level, B-level, C-level, and D-level talents.

With a population of over a billion, producing around 100,000 gifted individuals is a rare feat, one in ten thousand.

Of these, C and D grades make up the majority, accounting for over 8, with D grade alone accounting for 5.

Grades C and D are mostly just filler, especially Grade D.

E-rank? That's just padding the numbers. No, E-rank isn't even included in the talent statistic.

Can you imagine that being able to grow your hair twice as fast as a normal person is also a gift?

But it really is true.

In reality, when you take it all into consideration, the number of B-grade and above talents who can be considered as combat power and won't be killed by ordinary firearms is only a little over 1, or even less than 2.

This is actually quite unusual for a country with a population of over one billion.

Of course, this number will gradually increase over time.

With a population of over a billion, only about 20 people have become S-level talents, which is considered one in a billion.

Around 20 S-level talents are going to share the volunteer opportunities equally with the remaining 10 talents? That's taking up way too much space.

"But you can't deny that the decisive combat force for fighting in the abyss passages is these S-class talents who don't usually go down into the abyss," Ye Yunshang said helplessly.

S-class talents may not frequently venture into the Abyss, but in the main world, top-tier combat power is indeed required to establish a foothold in the Abyss Passage.

Fortunately, after the two planes fought, the main plane and the abyss plane made an agreement not to allow the big shots from the abyss plane to enter the abyss passage and interfere with the battle.

Therefore, the strongest combat force in the Abyss Passage of the Abyss Plane is generally at the S-level talent level.

However, there are clearly more S-rank talents in the Abyss Plane than in the Main Plane, where spiritual energy has just been revived.

Therefore, S-level talents rarely appear in public, as they may be targeted and killed.

"Besides the one-time reward for being a talent-level individual, this scholarship actually includes more follow-up rewards. For example, the mentor killed an S-level talent during the last attack, which deserves a reward." Ye Yunshang was praising the mentor by name.

Being able to fight back after being sniped deserves praise.
