"When I first joined the Shenhua Bureau, I was hesitant. You can't just ask me to join and expect me to do so immediately. First, I had to see if this Shenhua Bureau was truly the people's Shenhua Bureau! Was it an organization that truly protected the safety of the people!"
"Later, through observation, I indeed discovered that our Shenhua Bureau is a righteous organization that exists to protect the people. Whether it was the exploration of the Eternal Night World or the covert resistance against the invasion of dark creatures, there was no shortage of heroic figures. At that moment, I knew I had made the right decision to join this organization!"
"Before the existence of the extraordinary was publicly announced, the government adopted a policy of semi-compulsory recruitment of extraordinary individuals. The reason for this was the extreme rarity of extraordinary individuals. If they were not strictly regulated, it would require a vast amount of manpower to monitor these civilian extraordinary individuals, as well as to prevent dark organizations from recruiting free extraordinary individuals. For the Shenhua Bureau, which was already stretched thin with extraordinary individuals, this was a losing proposition!"
At Kyoto Extraordinary University, Yu Zhibo's clone stood on a high platform, speaking eloquently with a hint of emotion on his face.
He looked at the many gazes below, some filled with reverence, others with envy, and said, "Times have changed. The number of extraordinary individuals in our country is increasing. Therefore, you will no longer be fitted with a spirit-binding necklace for not joining the Shenhua Bureau. However, I still hope that you will become members of the Shenhua Bureau. If you truly do not wish to join, you must remember to abide by the law and not use your abilities to illegally pursue personal gain."
"It is our great honor to be born in this country. I hope to strive together with all of you to create a more peaceful and beautiful future for our families and friends!"
"Clap clap clap!"
Thunderous applause erupted from below. Yu Zhibo's simple yet thought-provoking words moved everyone present.
Yu Zhibo's red eyes receded, and he withdrew the small-scale emotional infection illusion. He looked at the passionate crowd below, who were eager to join the nation's defense, and smiled with satisfaction. Just as he was about to hand over the Soul Summoning Banner and the Origin of Immortals and Demons to Ling Wanjun, a bald man emerged from the crowd and raised his hand to ask:
"Big shot Zhibo, as far as I know, you've only awakened for less than three months, and you've already reached rank A. May I ask how you achieved this? Are there any tricks?"
"What should I call you, brother?" Yu Zhibo asked with interest. His experience, after being embellished, had been officially publicized online as an example. Yet, this person still asked this way, clearly wanting to know if there was a shortcut to rapid strengthening.
"My name is Sun Wenyue. My ability is to sacrifice hair to gain various abilities!" Sun Wenyue said with a憨 smile, touching his bald head.
Yu Zhibo nodded, noticing that everyone in the audience was looking at him with anticipation. It was clear that Sun Wenyue's question had also greatly piqued their interest.
He put away his somewhat playful smile and said seriously, "There are no shortcuts on the path of the extraordinary. Among the countless beings, your awakening of abilities with a one-in-hundreds aptitude indicates that you all have the potential to become powerful individuals in this world. But awakening is just the beginning. How you walk the path ahead and how far you can go depends on yourselves."
"As for why I can reach this point in less than three months, the answer is simple..." Yu Zhibo looked down at the crowd, his sword-like eyebrows almost reaching his temples, his face filled with an indescribable spirit and pride. "Because I am a genius!"
Ling Wanjun, standing behind him, couldn't help but twitch his eyebrows.
"The progress of a genius is unreasonable and cannot be imitated. The reason I can reach this point is naturally due to my opportunities!" Yu Zhibo said with a chuckle. "On the path of the extraordinary, everyone has their own opportunities, but these are all uncertain. The only thing that is certain is that effort can take you further!"
"I'm not feeding you spiritual chicken soup. If you feel that you are not as talented, whether it's in abilities, intelligence, or luck, and you are inferior to others, then perhaps you should try to work harder. When you work hard enough, you will discover that you are actually a genius too!"
At this point, Yu Zhibo paused and emphasized, "A hardworking genius!"
Upon hearing this, everyone below looked thoughtful, and some were even more enthusiastic, clearly having been brainwashed by Yu Zhibo and eager to immediately undergo targeted training for their abilities.
Whether a person's words are infectious is actually greatly related to their identity. For example, if a novelist says their book is very good and hopes readers will give more gifts for support, readers will definitely dismiss it as nonsense.
But if such words were spoken by the head of state, it would inevitably evoke great recognition from the masses, and they would frantically send gifts. Even if some flaws appeared in the novel, readers would interpret and boast about them from the perspective of human nature and philosophy. This is the influence brought by identity.
After saying the above, Yu Zhibo intended to drop the bombshell of the Origin of Immortals and Demons to attract these people to join the Shenhua Bureau.
He turned to Ling Wanjun, his eyes conveying a clear message: Uncle Ling, can I reveal information about the Origin of Immortals and Demons?
Ling Wanjun secretly nodded: You mean... how was your speech? It was quite good!
After receiving Ling Wanjun's approval, Yu Zhibo smiled and said, "I came here mainly to give your Principal Ling an item, which is the Origin of Immortals and Demons. This is a divine object that can grant new life to deceased souls!"
Ling Wanjun's mouth twitched involuntarily.
Yu Zhibo, however, spoke with great passion, like a pyramid scheme leader: "The Origin of Immortals and Demons is an existence that can be called a bug in the extraordinary world. Its function is similar to a resurrection coin. As long as your soul still exists after death, you can be reborn by relying on the Origin of Immortals and Demons. With it, you will have a second life, giving you a chance to try again on the path of the extraordinary!"
Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in a frenzy.
"Holy crap, doesn't that mean the entire Earth has become a multiplayer online game?"
"Stop it, this thing can only be used once, so don't mess around carelessly!"
"Even so, it's better than having only one life!"
...
As everyone was discussing, Yu Zhibo interrupted them, "Currently, the Origin of Immortals and Demons cannot be mass-produced. If you want to obtain a chance of rebirth, there is only one way: join the Shenhua Bureau and make significant contributions. Moreover, after rebirth, your aptitude will be even stronger than before. However, the drawback is that each soul can only use it once, so everyone, don't be reckless!"
Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of longing. If they had previously joined the Shenhua Bureau purely out of passion, now there was an additional compelling reason to join.
Nowadays, as the management of extraordinary individuals becomes more standardized, it is difficult for rogue extraordinary individuals to have room for development without organization and discipline. After joining the Shenhua Bureau, although they need to bear certain responsibilities and obligations, their opportunities also greatly increase. Coupled with the current opportunity for rebirth, any fool would know how to choose.
Thus, everyone's gaze became ardent...
On the other side, in the Pure Land space, Yu Zhibo's expression was somewhat puzzled.
"Strange, why are there ten million fewer energy points?"
Ten million energy points were but a drop in the bucket compared to his current total energy points. However, Yu Zhibo couldn't help but care, as it meant the system's credibility was being lost.
If ten million energy points could be inexplicably deducted today, wouldn't billions be deducted tomorrow?
Fortunately, as his confusion arose, the system quickly provided an explanatory message that flashed through his mind:
"Detected that the host's Demonic Clone has a tendency to devour the host. It has been forcibly corrected, consuming 10 million energy points!"
Along with the message, there was a video showing the Demonic Infant of the Demonic Weasel being punched in the face when it was lost in confusion on the demonic阶.
"Isn't this a physical correction? System, can you materialize attacks?" Yu Zhibo complained.
But the system did not reply further.
Shaking his head, Yu Zhibo did not argue with the system any further, but he did note the Yin-Yang fish pattern that appeared on the palm when the fist that punched the demonic clone was withdrawn.
Returning his consciousness from his mind, Yu Zhibo looked at the light barrier in front of him, his face showing a hint of contemplation.
"Now that I have Black Zetsu responsible for intelligence gathering, and a candidate for fusing with the secret realm, who should I summon next?"
In front of him were two light barriers, each containing a person. One was a pineapple-haired individual, and the other was a person with a yin-yang face, resembling a pitcher plant spirit.
These two were none other than Nara Shikahisa and Black and White Zetsu.
