Transfer Station You'erdan, Order Heavenly Kingdom Headquarters, Dream Palace.
Inside the conference room, twelve chairs were arranged around a large circular conference table.
From above, it looked like a giant clock face.
In the middle of the circular conference table, there was a holographic projection displaying the content of the current meeting.
Regarding the Free Organization's Kong You disguising herself as Order Heavenly Kingdom personnel at Transfer Station to deceive this batch of specially recruited newcomers into giving up their badges, thereby bypassing inspectors, and organizing numerous Wanted Criminals to infiltrate the New World, leading to the attack on Dream Palace.
Currently, three people were seated here.
At the three o'clock position sat the only man present, the Chief of Order Inspectors—Jiangnan.
He looked under forty, wearing a hat and a crisp uniform, with single eyelids, sharp eyes, and slightly thin lips.
At this moment, he was arguing with Elsa, the Chief in charge of human resources management.
Elsa sat at the nine o'clock position, opposite Jiangnan.
She also wore an Order uniform, and always wore a white lace eye mask and gloves, regardless of time or place.
At the six o'clock position, between the two of them, sat a woman in a black qipao with a fishtail braid.
The qipao was embroidered with golden dragons and had a high slit, revealing her fair legs.
At this time, she had her arms crossed, her eyes slightly closed, showing no interest in their argument.
"Idiots! All of you are idiots! All of you are useless!"
"And these are specially recruited newcomers? They were so easily deceived? I think this batch of specially recruited newcomers are all useless! Untrustworthy!"
"Each batch is worse than the last. I really don't know what kind of judgment the person in charge of recruitment has, picking a bunch of fools!"
Jiangnan slammed the table.
"They were all foolishly wearing the Free Organization's red uniforms. If it weren't for the frontline inspectors following the rules, they would have all been killed!"
"How many of the infiltrated Wanted Criminals are those who have been on the wanted list for years?"
"Even I, a human resources person, recognize them. The frontline inspectors didn't recognize them? Saying that sounds as ridiculous as a chef not being able to tell salt from sugar."
"Isn't it because specially recruited newcomers can bypass inspection with a badge? The fact that those with badges can bypass inspection is wrong; those who should be inspected still need to be inspected."
"Specially recruited newcomers are trained for management and elite positions. There are so many grassroots inspectors; once the identity information of specially recruited newcomers is leaked, if other organizations assassinate them before they grow up, who will take responsibility?"
"So you mean everyone is just following the rules, so no one is wrong?"
"Then who is wrong? I know, the rules are wrong, the rules set by the older generation are wrong!"
"Then why are we even having this meeting? Let's just end it."
"You follow the rules?"
Elsa seemed to have heard a huge joke.
"Do you really want me to talk about what your subordinates do? Do you know how many complaints we have to deal with about you every day!"
"Aren't we doing this for the safety of You'erdan! Our inspections are all compliant and legal, all done according to Order regulations!"
"Otherwise, where would the Ministry of Finance get so much train coins? Do your train coins just fall from the sky! I'm doing this for the Heavenly Kingdom!"
Elsa sneered.
"You didn't mention the first two words of Heavenly Kingdom, Officer Jiang."
"Order is in my heart; I don't need to say it out loud!"
Elsa scoffed, a beautiful arc forming on her lips.
"That's why I say, we still need to cultivate our own natives and our own descendants. There's no need to recruit these outsiders at all."
Hearing Jiangnan say this, Elsa laughed.
"The fact that they can stand out in Newbie Village naturally means they have unique qualities. Even if it's luck, that's still part of their strength."
"Moreover, if these newcomers are not absorbed into the organization, they might very well set up their own factions, and then there will be a whole bunch of Free Organizations."
"Then you'll be very busy."
Jiangnan sneered:
"Hmph, hmph, what if we recruit them? Will they be eternally loyal to the Order Heavenly Kingdom once recruited? You've forgotten,"
Jiangnan stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering something, and swallowed his words back.
"Hmph, hmph, we can recruit them, but we cannot Train them for key positions. The high-level positions must be held by our own people for the Heavenly Kingdom to continue."
"The outsiders we recruit are not truly with us at heart."
Jiangnan turned around and looked at Donghai Zui, who had not spoken.
"And you, Donghai Zui. Is Kong You that hard to catch! You still haven't caught her! And even if you haven't caught her, there's been no result from investigating whether she has the Platform Travel module for so long. Now it's fine, no need to investigate, she's shown us herself, you've saved yourself the trouble."
"I really don't know what you all do all day! You can't even handle such a small matter."
Donghai Zui opened her eyes, her beautiful gaze sharp, and looked at Jiangnan.
"Keep your mouth shut, or I'll tear it off."
Jiangnan's eyes widened, he bristled with anger, stood up excitedly, and was about to speak, pointing at Donghai Zui, when the tightly closed conference room door was slowly pushed open, and a blonde, blue-eyed loli walked in.
She bowed slightly to the three of them and smiled:
"Officers, the King has returned."
Upon hearing this, all three stood up, straightened their attire, and looked uniformly towards the door.
A young man with long white hair walked in with light steps.
He was wearing loose white training clothes, and his blue eyes sparkled with vitality, looking refreshed.
Most importantly, he was carrying four drinks in his hand.
"Good afternoon, King."
The three said in unison.
"Please sit."
"Elsa, your favorite Ceylon black tea. Don't worry, the milk is skimmed, you won't get fat."
"And for Xiao Wan, iced cream black tea."
Elsa took the milk tea and smiled:
"Thank you, King, you are as thoughtful as ever."
The King nodded and looked at Donghai Zui.
"A large cup of Duck Shit Fragrance, extra ice, three-tenths sugar."
Donghai Zui didn't stand on ceremony, took the Duck Shit Fragrance, didn't use a straw, and just lifted the lid and drank a few sips directly.
"Jiangnan, your coffee. Looking at your dark circles, you must have stayed up late again last night."
Jiangnan took the coffee from the King's hand with both hands and sighed.
"Busy, so many things have happened these past few days. King, why don't you just remove me? I don't want to do this anymore."
"Alright."
The King smiled as he looked at Jiangnan.
Jiangnan was stunned.
The King patted Jiangnan's shoulder.
"Just kidding, the Order Heavenly Kingdom can exist without me, but not without you."
Jiangnan froze there, forcing a smile onto his face.
"King, you're joking."
Jiangnan became obedient, took his coffee, sat down, and said no more.
The King sat down at the twelve o'clock position, the main seat, and the blonde loli handed him a thermos cup with plain hot water inside.
The King blew on the rim of the cup, took a small sip, and said:
"How was the discussion? Any results?"
The few of them remained silent.
"It seems no results were discussed."
The King looked at Elsa.
"Issue this year's special recruitment list to all frontline inspectors. Any 'specially recruited newcomers' not on the list but possessing a badge should be directly arrested. Those who resist arrest can be shot on sight."
"This batch of specially recruited newcomers will continue to be trained, but their observation period will be extended."
"Since Kong You has the Platform Travel module, she must have come into contact with this batch of newcomers. It's possible there are spies she developed among them."
Before Elsa could speak, the King turned to Jiangnan.
"Once you get the list, there won't be any more problems, right?"
"With the list, there will be no problem, King."
"Not only the newly arrived Trains, but also those who previously infiltrated, and anyone still hidden in You'erdan, must all be rooted out."
Jiangnan's face immediately showed a difficult expression.
"King, as you know, this batch of newcomers has been arriving in You'erdan for several days, and we are already short-handed."
The King seemed to have anticipated Jiangnan's words.
"Then call back the people from the amusement park. There's no need to keep so many people there."
"Let's deal with the matters here first."
Jiangnan took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.
"I understand."
Then, the King looked at Donghai Zui, who was sitting opposite him.
"What is Kong You's current bounty?"
"Live capture is four thousand four hundred train coins; if killed, two thousand five hundred."
Order Heavenly Kingdom bounties are divided into five levels.
Level 4: Below 200 train coins.
Level 3: 200 ~ 2000.
Level 2: 2000 ~ 5000.
Level 1: 5000 ~ 10000.
Special Level: 10000 and above, with no upper limit.
Of course, since the establishment of the Order Heavenly Kingdom, specially designated Wanted Criminals of the Special Level have been extremely rare.
"Raise it to six thousand train coins, dead or alive." The King held up a finger. "I will personally sponsor an item opened from an eight-level treasure chest."
The three were immediately stunned.
Six thousand train coins, this had already entered the realm of a Level 1 Wanted Criminal.
Kong You was already infinitely close to a Level 1 Wanted Criminal; the King's move directly defined her as a Level 1 Wanted Criminal.
The key was, there was also a reward of an item from an eight-level treasure chest, which couldn't be bought with train coins!
The entire Order Heavenly Kingdom didn't even possess three digits of such items.
The King sighed.
"My beautiful Dream Palace, three of them were torn down. I'm sorry to the predecessors."
"For members of the Free Organization, dead or alive, their bounty will be increased by ten percent."
The King looked at the blonde loli beside him.
"Daisy, go find the God of Wealth and tell him to allocate funds to repair Dream Palace."
Daisy nodded and got up to leave.
Jiangnan hesitated for a moment, looked at the King, and bravely said:
"King, the brothers on the front lines are working overtime, and this time it's so dangerous. Could you perhaps allocate a little bit to my side as well?"
"What, are they complaining?"
Jiangnan quickly waved his hand.
"No, no, no, everything is for the Heavenly Kingdom, how could there be complaints?"
"Then no allocation."
After the King finished speaking, he looked at Donghai Zui. Jiangnan wisely sat down and closed his mouth.
"Dong, I hope to hear good news from you before I return next time."
Donghai Zui did not speak, only nodded slightly.
At this moment, Jiangnan suddenly stood up and said:
"King, I have one more thing to report to you."
The King nodded, indicating for Jiangnan to continue.
"According to the profiles of the welcoming officer described by the frontline inspectors for the specially recruited newcomers, it has been confirmed that this person is Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, who went missing half a year ago."
"This person claimed to be Bu Zhihuo Mao at Transfer Station, took away the badges of the specially recruited newcomers, and gave them Free Organization uniforms, deceiving them into believing these were Order clothes. This led to an inspector on site reacting instinctively and accidentally killing a specially recruited newcomer."
As soon as Jiangnan said this, Donghai Zui and Elsa's expressions turned unpleasant.
The King nodded.
"I remember this little fellow; he was promoted to your deputy last year, wasn't he?"
After speaking, the King looked at Donghai Zui.
"You knew about this?"
"I knew," Donghai Zui said gravely. "As you know, there are many items that can change one's appearance, so appearance alone cannot be used as evidence."
"Regarding this person being Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng, it can only be said to be a suspicion and has not been confirmed."
The King nodded, indicating agreement.
"However, his claiming to be Bu Zhihuo Mao is quite in line with that little fellow's style."
Donghai Zui's expression was serious, and she did not reply.
"The matter of whether Bu Zhihuo Yunsheng betrayed us still needs to be investigated. Let's leave this matter for now."
"That's all. Go get busy."
After the King finished speaking, his figure vanished on the spot.
The three stood up, bowed ninety degrees to the empty chair, and then exited the conference room one after another.
From the King's entrance to the end of the meeting and his departure, the entire process did not exceed three minutes.
Donghai Zui gave Jiangnan a cold look, finished the last sip of her Duck Shit Fragrance, and turned to leave directly.
Elsa also picked up the milk tea the King brought for her and Xia Yuwan, and followed them out.
"Hurry up with that special recruitment list! The brothers on the front lines are waiting to get to work!"
Jiangnan shouted towards Elsa, but Elsa ignored him.
In the spacious conference room, only Jiangnan remained.
Jiangnan watched the two leave, loosened his collar, and his lips turned down.
He took a sip of the coffee the King brought him, and then spat it out with a "Pah!"
"What the heck is this? It's so bitter."
