Chapter 400: Chapter 46: Three People Become Partners_2 Chapter 400: Chapter 46: Three People Become Partners_2 “Xu Mo had agreed to join the Divine Sword Bureau,” Yang Lan could only resort to her trump card.
Zero stopped in her tracks again, looking at Yang Lan.
“Really?” Zero asked.
“Really,” Yang Lan nodded.
“You can ask around.”
“I need to ask my mom,” Zero said.
“Okay,” Yang Lan was at a loss for words.
This was the most face-losing invitation experience he had had in years.
Both of them had never heard of them.
And they were both hesitant.
Especially Zero, she was about to walk away upon hearing about the Divine Sword Bureau…
And she needed to consult her mom!
Good girl.
A moment later, Zero put down the communicator, and Yang Lan was somewhat nervously watching her.

“Okay,” Zero agreed.
For some reason, Yang Lan felt a sense of relief as if Zero was truly capable of refusing him.
And actually, inviting Zero had been in the works for a long time.
Zero’s family was not simple; they were a key target for recruitment.
After Zero entered the Capital Extraordinary Academy, they had been watching her, until now when they finally found the right opportunity to invite her to join the Divine Sword Bureau.
Inviting Zero was of significant importance.
“I will come to pick you and Xu Mo up tomorrow,” Yang Lan said.
“Okay,” Zero replied with just one word.
Yang Lan was internally counting how many words Zero had said from the beginning until now.
What a character!
…..
The next day, Yang Lan came to pick them up as promised.
The flying device raced through the skies of Chuanxing City, with Xu Mo, Zero, and another new member sitting inside.
Seeing him was a surprise to Xu Mo because he was from an alien race.
Titan Star, Tanis.
“Tanis, why did you join the Divine Sword Bureau?” Xu Mo asked curiously.
“They said you were joining, invited me to join too, so I did,” Tanis replied.
“This way, we can meet frequently to exchange ideas.”
“??” Xu Mo looked puzzled.
“He said the same to me,” Zero said from the side, making Xu Mo even more puzzled.
Was he being used to trick others?
When he was invited, it was the teacher and Zero…
“Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Divine Sword Bureau.
Would you like something to drink?” Yang Lan came over and spoke to the three of them, holding drinks in his hands.
The flying device was medium-sized, the cabin could accommodate a dozen people, and the interior was very luxurious.
“Whatever,” Xu Mo said.
“Does the Divine Sword Bureau also invite members from alien races?”
He had no prejudice against aliens, although he found the Lancelot Star people extremely annoying, but it wouldn’t do to condemn them all with the same brush.
“Tanis has already joined the Byron Star registry; he’s no longer considered an alien,” Yang Lan replied.

“The Divine Sword Bureau welcomes all of Byron Star’s top talents, regardless of their previous race, as long as they are now people of Byron Star.”
Yang Lan said, pouring drinks for the three of them, and sat down with them.
As a top force of Byron Star, the Divine Sword Bureau held different views than most of the population in Chuanxing City, where people generally harbored a resistance against aliens, yet the Divine Sword Bureau was willing to accept members from alien races.
It seems that the Divine Sword Bureau and Mayor Liu Feng indeed share the same political views.
“Actually, your friend here is the same,” Yang Lan said, looking at Zero without a care.
Xu Mo had only just realized that Zero was also from an alien race.
It seemed that none of the three of them were pure Byron Star people.
Yang Lan would wonder what he would think if he knew.
“Xu Mo, how much do you know about our Byron Star people’s Extraordinary Abilities?” Yang Lan asked.
“Not much,” Xu Mo responded, his knowledge truly lacking.
“Actually, many years ago, the people of Byron Star did not possess Extraordinary Abilities.
In the genes of our native population, there were basically no genes for Extraordinary Abilities.
Only a few Superpower Users existed due to gene evolution.
Later, after the great disaster, as Byron Star became chaotic and monsters roamed freely, more and more people awakened the Extraordinary Power.
Afterwards, as Byron Star’s contact with the outside increased, gene evolution became more common, and more people evolved to have superpowers,” Yang Lan explained.
“But the people of Byron Star also have a strength: high growth potential.
We do not have fixed genes, but we have strong learning capabilities, which allow us to evolve in different directions.”
“Additionally, research indicates that the more frequent our contact with alien humans, the higher the likelihood of gene mutation and subsequent evolution,” Yang Lan continued.
After he finished speaking, Xu Mo looked at him with a strange expression.
“Although it’s not the kind of contact you’re thinking of, if that kind of contact occurs, the likelihood of evolution naturally increases,” Yang Lan added, then glanced at Zero.
“What kind of contact?” Zero asked, looking puzzledly at Yang Lan and then turning his gaze to Xu Mo, wearing a confused expression.
Yang Lan seemed to be talking about her?
“Fighting,” Xu Mo replied.
Zero nodded, “If you want, we can do it anytime.”
“Cough cough…” Yang Lan choked on his drink, and Xu Mo also wore a strange expression.
Zero looked at them, somewhat puzzled.
“What about Lancelot Star?” Xu Mo asked, recalling that Lancelot Star was still demanding Byron Star’s government hand over people.
“No worries, the government can pass it off to the Divine Sword Bureau, let them come asking for people,” Yang Lan said.
Seeing Xu Mo’s troubled expression, he continued, “Do you feel a bit stifled?”
Xu Mo nodded; Lancelot Star was acting unrestrainedly in Byron Star, yet they remained so passive.
“Do you know why the Divine Sword Bureau is named so?” Yang Lan asked.
Xu Mo shook his head.
“One reason is the literal meaning, the notion of guardianship.
Secondly, it serves as a reminder, the looming sword has never disappeared,” Yang Lan explained.
“As a planet that was nearly annihilated in the past, Byron Star has only just begun to recover.
It needs the support of the Star System Alliance to prevent invasions, and if interstellar warfare reaches Byron Star now, we are doomed to defeat.
Moreover, we also need support in technology and science.”
“So, is that why Chuanxing City offers favorable policies to aliens?” Xu Mo asked.
“Yes, one reason is to gain support from the Star System Alliance, and the other is to attract more talent.
There are many individuals from alien races whose mother stars have been destroyed, like Tanis.
Many of them are strong and are ideal targets to pursue,” Yang Lan said.
“The ordinary public believes the war is far from us, but we need to be ready to face warfare at any time.”
They had been suddenly invaded that year and faced destruction.
“Besides attracting talent, we have also sent many people to study in alien planets, especially in technology.
Once technological development reaches a certain point, it’s no longer about slow progression, but rather about leaps and bounds,” Yang Lan stated.
Xu Mo thought of a word, “Endure.”
For development, Byron Star could only follow this path.
It was shameful and also lacked public support.
However, it couldn’t be said that the public was wrong.
Facing such humiliation, a normal person couldn’t bear it.
As someone involved, he too wanted to annihilate all the people from Lancelot Star.
But without equal strength, there is no equal right to dialogue, whether it’s for ordinary people or on an interstellar scale.
“We’re here,” Yang Lan said.
Xu Mo looked outside; they were already near the outskirts of Chuanxing City, in a separate area guarded from the outside.
This area was exclusive to the Divine Sword Bureau.
The Flying Device landed in an open area where there were many flying devices, more precisely, combat aircraft.
Looking ahead, Xu Mo saw a huge tower with a central structure shaped like a plunging sword, which formed the core of the building, piercing from the sky into the ground.
At the top of the building, there was also a Divine Sword emblem.
“Let’s go,” Yang Lan led the way, with flying devices and vehicles continuously coming and going inside the Divine Sword Bureau, bustling with personnel.
“The Divine Sword Bureau has different branches, not just the top Transcendents,” Yang Lan explained to Xu Mo as they moved towards the center of the building, where many people were waiting.
“Today is your first day of reporting; we need to perform a comprehensive evaluation on the three of you.
The first item is a public combat evaluation.
Get ready,” Yang Lan said, smiling with anticipation.
