“This is… too exaggerated, right?”
“Investigators are public servants within the public sector after all, and they are currently the only ones who can access supernatural powers, so it’s normal for there to be a lot of people.”
Ye Luo was much calmer.
The shocking part, he had already experienced a few days ago.
Moreover, he was already one of the legendary Awakeners, not impatient or anxious, so his mentality was naturally stable.
“However, despite the crowd here, I estimate that ninety-nine percent are just onlookers.”

“Huh? Why?”
“Didn’t you watch the press conference yesterday? While investigators are the most likely to obtain supernatural powers, they also bear heavy responsibilities, as they are the warriors stationed on the front lines against the Mysterious Evil.”
The temptation of supernatural powers was great, and many people wanted to open the door to the new world.
But at the same time, there were also many who were hesitant, worried, scared.
Or maybe their physical fitness was too poor, knowing they had no hope… The bureau’s spokesperson had made it very clear that the recruitment considered comprehensive qualities, but within these, the level of physical fitness accounted for a significant proportion.
This was enough to eliminate ninety percent of the university students.
Ye Luo believed that if he hadn’t experienced the Awakening and was just an ordinary person among the masses, he, like everyone else, would have been incredibly fascinated by supernatural powers but… would have lacked the courage to take the step.
Now, it was different.
He was already standing at the end goal of many people’s dreams; whether or not he applied to be an investigator was optional, he would first wait and see.
He turned his head, “Fan, are you really going to apply?”
His gaze slightly lowered, landing on the noticeable belly of his classmate Wang Fan.
It wasn’t that he doubted him, he simply… didn’t believe Wang Fan could pass the assessment.
Wang Fan patted his belly, “Of course I’m going. Isn’t this the chance for the protagonist to turn into a dragon when the wind blows! Even a rational analysis shows that today is the first public recruitment by the bureau. As long as we get in, we’ll definitely receive focused training. An Awakening is just a matter of time!”
Ah, right, right, right!
He was correct, provided one could pass the test.
“Let’s go, let’s go, let’s hurry to register. Together, we brothers will compete and climb to the top of the world.”
…
The recruitment fair by the investigation bureau was held in a large gymnasium in the university town.
The gym was the venue for testing, where only those who had registered could enter; outside was a throng of university students and other onlookers.
Ye Luo even saw many journalists with long and short cameras.
The scale of this event was indeed staggering.
It was only seven-thirty at the time!
When it was close to eight o’clock, the recruitment fair began, and Ye Luo had already familiarized himself with the process—which naturally was different from a normal job fair.
“First is registration, then in batches of sixty people, we enter the gym for the investigation bureau’s recruitment assessment. It’s a live assessment, one part of which will definitely be related to physical ability, but the rest is unknown.”
Ye Luo pondered.
Since Wang Fan was very keen on joining the investigation bureau, as his old father, Ye Luo naturally hoped Wang Fan would awaken, so he would do everything he could to strive for it.
The competition had already begun.
Although he still didn’t think that Wang Fan, with his poor physical condition, could pass.
A flash of insight twinkled in Ye Luo’s eyes as he grabbed Wang Fan, “Don’t rush, if you want a better chance of getting through, listen to me.”
He pointed into the distance.
At this moment, outside the gym was a dense crowd, but the number of people actually taking action to register was few.
Many were still watching, hesitating.
Or they never planned to register and were merely here to watch the Awakeners, even though everyone looked the same with one head and two hands.
This situation was almost what Ye Luo had expected.
“There aren’t many who take that step; given the current situation, we could be called up shortly after registering. In that case, we might as well let others go first and scope it out, to see what the selection process for an investigator is like.”
“We can’t see what’s inside the gym, but once people come out, that’s fine.”
“What if they don’t talk?” asked Wang Fan.
Ye Luo pointed towards the distant journalists, “They will ask for us.”
Then he took out his phone, opened a TV channel, which was broadcasting their location live—Baiyun University Town, Recruitment Fair by the Investigation Bureau, live stream!
They didn’t even need to crowd forward; watching the live stream on the phone could inform them of the general pattern of the assessment.
Wang Fan was surprised, “You’re really cunning!”
“Isn’t it all for your sake?!”
“Indeed, father is very pleased.”
“Get out!”
The first batch of sixty people entered, and about fifteen minutes later, the second batch of students registered and entered the gym, followed by a period of time, then the third batch.
At this time, the students from the first batch came out.
Ye Luo counted them; there were sixty, but they were drenched in sweat, many with pale faces.
It seemed they were exhausted or scared.
As he pondered, reporters and cameramen swarmed up, microphones were thrust forward, nearly overwhelming the students who had just emerged.
They had never been treated like this before.
The pale and seemingly drained appearance of the test-takers did scare some people, causing many who were initially hesitant to back down.
Wang Fan, on the other hand, was super brave.
Ye Luo was confident in himself. Since he was determined to advance, he naturally feared no assessment.
Both of them registered and soon followed the other students being tested into the gym.
“The test consists of three parts. First, extend your hand and touch this strange stone one by one.”
“Could this be the legendary treasure that tests for spiritual roots?”
“Maybe it’s some kind of innate ability test! It seems a bit magical!”
“Officer, can you tell us what this is?”
A pair of eyes curiously examined the strange stone in front of them.
It was a gray stone that at first glance looked rough, but upon closer inspection seemed translucent, very mysterious.
Inside the investigation bureau, this type of stone was named ‘Mysterious Fusion Stone,’ designed to test an individual’s receptiveness to mysterious energy.
People are different from each other; some are naturally more attractive to the mysterious, accumulating mysterious value at a speed beyond ordinary people.
Such individuals may not necessarily have high talent, but on a holistic level, compared with ‘mystical insulators,’ the Celestial Grace of ‘mystical attractors’ is higher, at the very least, they belong to a class of people more likely to awaken.
Through this method, one could roughly determine a person’s Celestial Grace.
It’s not necessarily accurate, but still quite magical.
Investigator Jiang Feng also found it very magical, after all, their Baiyun State branch had only received this batch of strange stones from headquarters a few days ago.
And he heard that these don’t seem to be products of the research institute.
Instead, they came from a mysterious cooperative organization.
Could it be that within Dong Huang, aside from the Investigation Bureau, Research Institute, and Special Combat Team, there is an even more secretive department?
There probably is.
Because he had heard that at headquarters, there was a very precious opportunity for advanced training, to go to mysterious places for further studies.
However, for a second-level investigator like him, it was far too far out of reach.
Just work conscientiously.
Jiang Feng shook his head, refusing to answer any of the curious questions posed by the young people in front of him.
A student had an epiphany, “Probably this is a secret of the Investigation Bureau; we’ll know once we become investigators.”
No, you can’t.
Jiang Feng complained internally.
He was an investigator, but not to mention him, even his superior, and his superior’s superior, were just as shocked when they first received this batch of special equipment.
“Time is short, hurry up with the test,” he said.
One after another, the curious or nervous male and female college students reached out, grasping the grey strange stones in front of them, waiting for two or three seconds before the translucent stones started to emit a faint glow.
Some bright, some dim, but there was a light for everyone.
“So everyone’s stone lights up, and here I thought I had a decent talent,” said the first person to test, hanging their head.
During Ye Luo’s test, the light he elicited was quite bright; he had to forcefully suppress the energy stirring within him. His intuition told him there could be more brightness, very bright indeed.
But being too bright wasn’t good, in this dangerous world, only by keeping a low profile could one survive for a long time.
Even now, Ye Luo felt it was too bright, drawing the examiner’s sidelong glances.
What surprised him was that the light Wang Fan induced was also very bright.
Could this guy really have a chance to pass?
…
“Damn, damn, I can’t do this anymore, buddy, give me a hand,” cried someone.
“Get lost.”
Despite his words, Ye Luo still caught hold of Wang Fan, whose legs had gone soft.
They had just walked out of the little black room where the second test took place.
As for what was inside the little black room? No one could say for sure, feeling only fear, as if being watched by a great beast, with devils whispering in their ears.
This test left them all in the dark, uncertain whether it was good or bad.
After a brief rest, they began the final test, a straightforward and brutal one: running ten laps around the sports field.
“Ten laps, I… damn it!” a student exclaimed.
Student Wang Fan fell to his knees in despair.
When Ye Luo finished his languid run, he found that although Wang Fan was as exhausted as a dead dog and had only run less than half the distance, he was stubbornly persevering.
This tenacity and persistence… he really was burning fat.
…
“But he still didn’t finish ten laps, damn it!” he muttered.
“If the examiner hadn’t called a stop, I, the great Emperor Wang Fan, definitely could have finished… who knew there was a time limit, damn!”
Wang Fan lay on the bed, half out of exhaustion, the other half also out of exhaustion.
Tired in body and spirit.
He felt finished.
Of course, the results of the recruitment were not immediately announced; according to the senior investigator, they should expect a notification by the evening, whether they passed or not, they just had to patiently wait.
As time ticked away, Wang Fan grew more and more nervous, and even Ye Luo felt a bit of it, surely it was contagious.
It wasn’t just the two of them; dozens of students in this dormitory building who had signed up were anxiously waiting at that moment.
Suddenly,
“Ding-dong~!”
The mobile phone vibrated slightly, and everyone received the same text message.
A message with the distinctive mark of the Investigation Bureau.
“I’m done for!”
“Wuwuwu…” some lamented.
“It’s really hard to get into the Investigation Bureau.”
“Did our entire building get wiped out?”
In the hallway, students were howling.
Wang Fan trembled, tapping on his message, and suddenly paused.
His message had a different envelope than the others.
‘Mr. Wang Fan, you have passed the preliminary assessment and review. Congratulations on becoming an honorable trainee investigator. Please proceed to the designated location by 8 a.m. tomorrow for investigator training.’
“I passed! I made it!”
“Ye, I made it! Hahaha—”
“Quick, check yours!”
Wang Fan was so excited he couldn’t contain himself and was getting anxious for his good buddy, too.
But Ye Luo, who had performed fiercely during the assessment, was sure to have no issues.
He leaned forward to look.
Ye Luo also opened his message and, as expected, it was an invitation to the training camp for those who passed.
This was anticipated, and he was not at all surprised.
But wait, why was there another message?
It was also an invitation!
One embedded with mysterious and arcane patterns, slowly unfolding before them both.
