What's Different (First Update)

Xia Chujian said indignantly, "They didn't even say what the reason was! They just cordoned off the entire plaza, and those street trees suddenly grew wildly, their branches like disgusting tentacles. And those Black Crows, they started by slaughtering the unarmed children!"

"I couldn't stand it anymore, so I borrowed a Submachine Gun from Chief Quan and rushed over to save those children, but I only managed to save this one..."

Xia Chujian glanced at the child she was holding.

"Then, those Gray-Robed People seemed to launch a Mental Strength attack, and even more people died."

"After I brought this child back, Chief Quan lent me a brand-new Devastator No. 1 Sniper Rifle! It's the king of guns!"

"With it in my hands, even if twenty-five more Gray-Robed People came, I wouldn't hesitate to fight them!"

She said in one breath, unable to control her emotions, and began to accuse Huo Yushen: "...Your Special Security Bureau, and the Punishment Department, you only arrived late after I had killed all those people!"

"Now you're acting like you want to kill me, I'm being wronged!"

It's a pity it's not June, otherwise, there would be a June snowfall outside, and everyone in Mulan City would know she was wronged...

Xia Chujian thought, feeling rather embarrassed.

Huo Yushen stared at her intently, quickly asking, "Quan Yuxun said earlier that their weapons were ineffective against those Niapula, but you used the Submachine Gun they gave you. Are you sure you killed those Niapula? Those Black Crows?"

Xia Chujian nodded, "I'm sure, because if they weren't killed, they would reform and continue killing people. But after being hit by my bullets, they disappeared into Black Smoke and never reformed."

"...The Gray-Robed People, their highest level of Mental Strength is Rank Super S, do you know what that means?" Huo Yushen's expression remained cold and indifferent, without any personal emotion.

Xia Chujian took a deep breath and said coldly, "...So what if it's high? I'll still fight them."

Huo Yushen stared at her for a while, finally saying, "It seems that you are not only immune to Mental Strength, but you can also make your weapons immune to Mental Strength."

Xia Chujian: "..."

"...Mental Strength can affect bullets?"

This was too advanced, something non-Gene Evolvers wouldn't understand at all.

Huo Yushen looked up at the ceiling of the office, thought for a while, and then said, "You probably feel it yourself, although you are not a Gene Evolver, you are different from ordinary people."

Xia Chujian refused to admit it, thinking, Where am I different? I'm still broke...

But she didn't dare to directly confront Huo Yushen.

Huo Yushen didn't look at her, continuing to ask, "Do your teammates know you have this trait?"

Xia Chujian tried to think for a while, hesitating, "Probably not? Or, they might have suspected it, but they have never mentioned it in any situation, not even indirectly."

Huo Yushen withdrew his gaze from the ceiling and looked at Xia Chujian, "But your performance just now was seen by that Chief Quan. Do you know what the consequences will be?"

Xia Chujian: "..."

"Chief Quan wouldn't know, would he? He's just an ordinary person." Xia Chujian said uncertainly.

Having gone through a life-and-death battle with him once, Xia Chujian, although not easily trusting others, didn't want to think too badly of others, especially those she had fought alongside.

Huo Yushen remained calm, thinking, In the entire Beichen Empire, probably only this unique oddball and academic scum would say Quan Yuxun is an ordinary person.

So stupid, no wonder she's an academic scum...

Huo Yushen didn't speak.

After Xia Chujian finished speaking, she also felt that her idea was unreliable.

People like that, heirs from top Noble families, and lawyers, could make a commoner academic scum like her kneel in minutes.

Xia Chujian said sheepishly, "He's a top Noble, I'm just a small ordinary commoner, there won't be any conflict of interest between us, he doesn't need to target me, right?"

"What if he does target you? Can you handle it?" Huo Yushen said calmly, "And your aunt, are you sure?"

Xia Chujian's heart tightened.

Whenever her aunt was mentioned, she felt that no matter how careful she was, it wouldn't be enough.

"Then what should I do?" Xia Chujian began to worry, "I saved them! They'll be struck by lightning if they harm their saviors!"

Huo Yushen was calm and composed, "Such angry words are useless, it's better not to say them."

Xia Chujian: "..."

She was a little irritable, "Then what should I do? I was just trying to be helpful... trying to be helpful..."

Huo Yushen's eyes flickered slightly as he listened to her rant, waiting until she was sufficiently agitated before saying coldly, "Ms. Xia, I'd like to make a suggestion. If you agree, I can guarantee to cover up your secret."

"...What suggestion? How would you cover it up?" Xia Chujian was in a state of confusion, looking at Huo Yushen with suspicion.

Huo Yushen said, "Ms. Xia knows the nature of our Special Security Bureau. If you join us, I can guarantee that no one will know about your special trait, including Quan Yuxun. I have ways to completely dispel his doubts."

He paused, then emphasized, "In the entire Beichen Empire, no one but me can perfectly conceal your Mental Strength trait."

Xia Chujian's eyes widened suddenly. "...Ah?! Let me join the Special Security Bureau? Is it a formal position?"

Huo Yushen: "..."

She almost threw him off.

He had just been emphasizing the importance of this matter, worried that Xia Chujian wouldn't take the bait...

And she jumped right into his net? What kind of person is this...?

Huo Yushen's eyes were deep, his voice even lower, as if speaking on a breath, "...Formal position? The formal positions in my Special Security Bureau aren't so easy to get."

Xia Chujian immediately deflated, muttering, "I knew Inspector Huo was just saying it casually. I'm just an ordinary person, just turned eighteen, my genes can't evolve anymore, and I haven't even graduated from high school. How could I possibly enter the famous Special Security Bureau as a formal employee!"

Actually, she was quite nervous.

She had heard the Dark Night Hunter Team people say that the Special Security Bureau's benefits were particularly good. Not to mention the salary, which was the highest among all government agencies.

But most importantly, their medical insurance included family members!

Xia Chujian especially wanted to get medical insurance for her aunt, so that even if her aunt got sick again, she and her aunt wouldn't have to worry.

Without medical insurance, no matter how much money you earn, you're just saving it for the hospital.

Huo Yushen was also puzzled. This girl only had two people in her family, so why was she so concerned about a formal position?

He asked, slightly perplexed, "...Is a formal position that important to you?"

Xia Chujian said seriously, "It's especially important, so I can add my aunt to your Special Security Bureau's medical insurance. I heard that your Special Security Bureau's medical insurance is the best in the entire Beichen Empire, but only formal employees are eligible."

Huo Yushen stared at her, then lowered his eyes after a long while, saying, "But to become a formal employee, you need to take an exam. Do you think you can pass the exam?"

Xia Chujian was stunned for a moment, then began to back down again.

She was most afraid of exams.

Xia Chujian murmured, "There's an exam? Then forget it, my grades aren't good..."

Huo Yushen managed to detect the emotion of "humility" in that uncomfortable tone.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, but his expression was still cold, like a thousand-year-old ice, saying, "Well, then forget it. The most important thing in the exam is to test the use of various weapons, as well as the piloting of various warplanes, Flying Vehicles, and interstellar spaceships. You probably aren't good at that."

As soon as Xia Chujian heard this, she immediately perked up, saying, "Inspector Huo, is that really all that's tested? Not literature, physics, chemistry, or anything like that?"

Huo Yushen was stern and upright. "My Special Security Bureau isn't a university, why would we test those things?"

"Then, will there be training for piloting warplanes and interstellar spaceships?"

"You haven't flown them before?"

"Poor, no opportunity to learn."

Xia Chujian used the omnipotent "poor" word magic, once again playing the role of weak, helpless, and pitiful.

She was no stranger to various weapons, because she had practiced them all at the Dark Night Hunter Association. She could also fly Flying Vehicles, but she really hadn't had the opportunity to get her hands on warplanes and interstellar spaceships.

But she felt that as long as she was given the opportunity to learn, she would definitely be able to pass the assessment!

Huo Yushen made a thinking gesture, and after a while, said, "I can give you an opportunity to receive training, and take the entrance exam after three months."

"Before that, I can treat you as a special operative of the Special Security Bureau performing special missions, led by my secretary, Meng Guanghui."

"He is the Director of the Action Division, and there are many people with special circumstances in the team. Some of our actions, if people like you participate, will have unexpected effects."

Xia Chujian immediately said, "It's a deal! Inspector Huo isn't teasing me, is he? We ordinary people, our genes can't evolve, we don't have Mental Strength, and our families are poor, anyone can deceive us and step on us... Inspector Huo isn't that kind of person, is he?"

Huo Yushen's face was cold, and he said lightly, "Saying the word 'poor' too many times doesn't work anymore."

Xia Chujian: "..."

She forced herself to calm down, "I'm really poor, I'm not using it as an excuse."

Huo Yushen looked at her, and really wanted to say, take a look at the balance in your digital bank account before you talk to me.

But in the end, he didn't expose her. He opened the internal intercom, called Kang Shanxing over, and said, "I've recruited a new person for Little Meng. Go and handle the formalities for her. For the time being, she's a special agent performing special tasks. She'll take the entry exam in three months."

Kang Shanxing looked at Huo Yushen in surprise, then at Xia Chujian. He really didn't understand why Huo Yushen would give such a good opportunity to this girl who had no Mental Strength and whose genes couldn't evolve.

Their Special Security Bureau had excellent benefits. There were countless people crying and shouting to get in.

From the Imperial Clan, the Nobles, to ordinary citizens, from famous universities to third-rate vocational schools, as long as the Special Security Bureau had a campus recruitment, it was a sea of people.

Every person they admitted each year was an elite.

But Kang Shanxing also knew that asking questions was useless, because Huo Yushen would not explain to his subordinates unless he took the initiative to explain.

Seeing that Huo Yushen had no intention of explaining, Kang Shanxing didn't ask any more questions. He directly said to Xia Chujian, "Ms. Xia, this way please. We need to take photos for archiving and collect biological information data."

This was all for making identification documents.

The Face Mask technology of the Beichen Empire was so advanced that if biological information was not collected properly, people could easily sneak in using Face Masks.
