“Hmm.”
Zhao Yunxiao nodded and said, “There’s only one spot left. The agency only recruited nine new people this year, including Song Chaoyu.”
“And all of you are from Weihe Town, so I’d like to know your thoughts on this.”
“Who should have the last spot?”
The three of them looked at each other, but no one spoke.
This slot represents considerable gains for anyone.
As Captain Yunxiao mentioned, this exploration of the secret realm is merely an ordinary one, but the rewards are plentiful.
Wouldn’t it be best if it could be given to a student who they trust and is close to them?
Yao Zhixue was the first to say, “I don’t know anyone else well, so I will abstain from recommending.”
Song Chaoyu opened her mouth but ended up closing it again.
Her status was too special that she somehow secured the status of a professionist.
Now, she was under surveillance of the Night’s Watch.
In this situation, it was better not to stick her neck out.
All three women then looked at Zheng Cheng.
Zheng Cheng wondered, “Why are you all looking at me?”
Zhao Yunxiao said, “I’m not familiar with the situation at your school, so I have to rely on you.”
Yao Zhixue said, “None of my friends have awakened to their professions, so the decision is yours.”
Song Chaoyu said softly, “I, I’ll also give up this opportunity.”
Zheng Cheng shrugged his shoulders and said, “Then… let it be Chen Xiao.”
“He’s a Knight of the Earth, with a strong defense, useful in any situation.”
Yao Zhixue and Song Chaoyu then looked at Zhao Yunxiao again.
“Knight of the Earth, I remember him.”
Zhao Yunxiao hesitated before slowly shaking his head, “Normally, whether it’s a subsidiary world or a secret realm, it’s always safe to have a Main Tank.”
“But this secret realm is an adventure subsidiary realm, we might need to visit some dangerous places, and a Main Tank, with their low agility, might not be the best fit.
“Moreover, among the five people we called this time, there’s already a Main
Tank-type professionist.”
“Anyone else?”
“Agility property…
Zheng Cheng’s mouth twitched subconsciously, “Cai Shen… is he okay?”
“Cai Shen… ” Zhao Yunxiao pondered then suddenly said, “Is it the young lad who awakened as a Poultry Druid?”
“You remember him, huh?”
“Of course,” Zhao Yunxiao said. “His profession holds a lot of research value, a pity that his star rating is too low, otherwise our door would have been open to him.”
“He is now at Level LV6, focusing on agility and strength, both already surpassing 10 points.”
“And… he can fly.”
“Fly?” Zhao Yunxiao’s eyes lit up.
“Well, he can only fly about seven or eight meters, and not for long.”
“It’s decided then!”
Zhao Yunxiao concluded, “Whether it’s in the wild, a subsidiary world, or a secret realm, there will often be special maps with mountains and giant trees.” “In this kind of map, the position of a Main Tank is somewhat unnecessary.” “Besides, although the Main Tank profession is rare, it’s not non-existent.”
“Among the five professionists we called this time, one of them is a Main Tank.”
“But a professionist who can fly before hitting Level LV60, I’ve never seen.”
“This friend ot yours, he’s quite something…”
Zheng Cheng shrugged and said, “So it’s him then, I’ll let him know when I go back. ”
“Not so fast.’
Zhao Yunxiao took something out of the drawer and handed it to Zheng Cheng.
“Zheng Cheng, this is your reward, decided by the Director and me!”
“Reward?”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes lit up abruptly.
Zhao Yunxiao handed something over. It was… a ring!
It was black as a whole, seemed ordinary in appearance, but it shimmered with an indescribable glow.
“Hmm.”
Zhao Yunxiao nodded. “To reward you for your contribution in this crisis with the Black Sun Church, whether it’s assisting in the killing of the four divine envoys and the master of the Black Sun or saving civilians, these are all great merits.”
“We, the captains and the Director, have decided to grant you an additional reward.”
“This is a space ring created by Master Ou, an alchemist in the Night Watch. It’s about ten meters long, ten meters wide, and probably about ten meters tall, totaling a thousand cubic meters of space!”
“A space ring! ”
Zheng Cheng’s eyes brightened even more as he hurriedly took the ring.
“Touch it with your mental force, then you can try to open it.” Zhao Yunxiao explained, “This is just an ordinary space ring. You must take good care of it and not lose it.”
“Otherwise, if it’s picked up by someone else, you could lose all your belongings.”
Zheng Cheng gave it a try, and upon touching the ring with his mental force, a vast, empty space appeared before his eyes.
It was shaped like a massive sphere, surrounded by nothingness.
“Anyone can use it if they pick it up?” Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “Isn’t there such a thing as blood bonding?”
Zhao Yunxiao laughed. “What are you thinking?”
“Treasures that can be blood bonded all contain a spiritual essence, they must at least be born weapons, or artefacts of divine level.”
“Where would an ordinary space ring have such abilities as blood bonding?”
“That’s why you must protect it well!”
“Eh…” Zheng Cheng suddenly asked, “What’s this?”
In the corner of the space ring, he had found five boxes.
Zhao Yunxiao explained, “These are exploration tools prepared for you for the
Secret Realm; there’s one box per person.”
“Each box includes a bottle of rejuvenation pills, a potion for restoring spiritual energy, three healing seals, three contact seals, plus some lighting tools, food, etc., to distribute between the four of you.”
“Alright, I got it.” Zheng Cheng suddenly realized, “Exploration of the Secret Realm, space ring….. you guys aren’t planning to have me bring all the bodies of the monsters and demons from the Secret Realm in this ring, are you?”
Zhao Yunxiao grinned, “I knew I’d chosen a smart guy!”
“You…”
“Don’t worry, this space ring will be yours after the exploration of the Secret Realm!”
“Alright then, I guess I have no choice but to accept it…”
Zhao Yunxiao added, “This space ring won’t use up your meritorious value. Once this exploration of the Secret Realm is done, the meritorious value should be calculated.”
“At that point, you can use your merit points to exchange for the healing skills you want.”
“I understand.”
Zheng Cheng nodded. It was about time for him to participate in the joint college entrance examination, wasn’t it?
“Oh yes, there’s something else I need to tell you.”
Zhao Yunxiao’s tone suddenly became very serious. “In three days, five
Professionals recently transferred to the Department will come here to gather.”
“Those five Professionals have special identities. You can cooperate with them in the Secret Realm, but don’t just hand over your spoils to them casually.” “What’s yours is yours, don’t steal, but also don’t let others steal from you!” “Why is that?” Zheng Cheng asked curiously, “Aren’t they all Night Watchmen?
How come…”
Zhao Yunxiao shook his head, “Even though they’re all Night Watchmen, they come from Professional Families!”
“Professional Families?”
The three were confused. Are there actually Professional Families?
Zhao Yunxiao explained, “Correct, Professional Families are families where at least three or even four generations have been Professionals!”
“These families have strong capabilities and are spread across multiple forces. The Professionals in the family are also all capable and almost occupy most of the country’s resources.”
“So, they are all somewhat arrogant. Their acts are domineering and their nature is wild, so you all need to be cautious.”
“Of course, these Researchers from influential families have undoubtedly made great contributions when resisting the Different Races and hold high positions in the country.”
“Almost all departments of the country have members of the Professional Families, even among us Night Watchmen!”
“They place their family’s interests above the interests of the country and often take orders but do not act on them.”
Zhao Yunxiao, sounding helpless, said, “Take this mission with the Black Sun Church, for example. The Professionals in the Department from influential families all refused to come on the pretext of carrying out other missions!”
“Otherwise, our losses wouldn’t have been so great!”
“Professional Families?”
Zheng Cheng suddenly said, “Captain Yunxiao, you’re from a Professional Family too, aren’t you!”
