[Zede’s Underground Office]
This time, Professor Qian Bosen also followed to the underground area, obviously because of the ‘Principal’s’ issue.
Upon learning that the Principal hadn’t imposed any punishment on Yi Chen, Qian Bosen also breathed a sigh of relief.
“You’re lucky… Besides Zede, no one dares to draw a knife against the Principal.
Even those sitting at the highest ranks in the Organization would show respect to Principal Desline, yet you, kid, actually thought of beheading her.”
Zede, on the side, added, “Not just that, looking at the way he held the gun, he even wanted to blow Desline into two pieces.”
“Was it that serious?”
Yi Chen was frightened into sweating bullets after learning about his unconscious actions, never having thought that his conscious behavior in the Orphanage would reflect directly into reality.
Thinking about his dangerous moves and the Principal’s ‘care’ shown at that time, Yi Chen’s awe for the Principal transformed into a sort of fondness.
“My suggestion is still to focus on Physique and Intelligence, and treat Sensing as a kind of extracurricular hobby. As for the umbilical cord Relic you currently possess, I will also try to find a trade channel here, to help you exchange it for a Relic of equivalent value that is related to Physique and Intelligence.”
“I have another meeting today, so let’s leave it at that.”
No sooner had Qian Bosen left than Zede hugged Yi Chen around the neck, cheek to cheek.
“Don’t listen to his nonsense, choose your own path… What does it matter if similar examples can’t be found in fifty years’ worth of data? Why can’t you become the example? At worst, it will just take a little more time.
If I can apply for permission to leave, I will personally accompany you to the depths of the Grey Zone to find an opportunity.”
However, Zede’s words made Yi Chen laugh outright.
“What’s so funny! I’m very serious. Is it just because of a Three Attribute Relic?”
“Nothing, just thought of something happy… Thank you, Teacher! I’ll visit the Power Station and try to come back early tonight for some physical training.”
“Be careful. Since you were referred by Desline, there’s a good chance she has an ulterior motive. If you die at the Power Station, I’ll definitely avenge you.”
Full name: Electric-Power-and-Technology-Development-Center
Hidden deep within the street area, concealed by a ‘Mimicry Net’ constructed out of multiple layers of magical barriers, it appears completely identical to residential buildings from the outside.
One needs to go to the corresponding location and present the relevant permit to access the interior.
Newcomers to Zion City who choose a Profession related to ‘electricity’ during Letter Selection will immediately receive an invitation from the Power Station, along with extremely generous remuneration.
If the Profession is unrelated to electricity, individuals who exhibit a talent for scientific research during their growth will also receive an invitation.
Of course, it’s also possible to become a member through external employment tests.
As long as Zion has not fallen, employees of the Power Station can enjoy a quality life, without any worries about everyday matters.
When Yi Chen arrived at the street near the Power Station, more than ten gentlemen were already lined up there filling out application forms.
“Excuse me, please let me through.”
Yi Chen squeezed through the crowd to the front,
and looked at a worker whose left arm had been replaced with a prosthetic limb and who wore mechanical, spring-driven spectacles. A careful observation would reveal the flow of electric currents inside the prosthetic limb.
Without further ado, he showed the Principal’s business card.
“I’d like to see Ludwig Reagan.”
The worker took the card and upon seeing the name, his eyes widened immediately.
“I’m terribly sorry, Reagan is on leave today, he didn’t come to work at the Power Station… If you’re in a hurry, you can find him here.”
The worker was extremely enthusiastic in assisting, even pulling out a deeply hidden staff registration form to confirm Reagan’s residence.
“Alright, thank you.”
When Yi Chen arrived at the corresponding apartment building, he quickly found the special apartment number – [000] recorded in the register, which corresponded to a completely unlit and damp underground low-rent apartment.
Intending to knock, he found the door was not even locked,
Yi Chen felt something was amiss and stealthily slipped inside, treading lightly.
