"I protect the food?"
"I think you're accusing the thief while being one yourself. Do you really have no idea who's actually protecting the food here?"
Seeing Master Fox's vigilant expression, calling him out for food guarding, Li Wenkang was momentarily stunned, then laughed out loud and retorted, "Who's really protecting it between us?"
"You like the door of the ruins, take it to play with! But we need to make rubbings of the emblems and patterns on the door for deciphering the name and purpose of the site. Is that okay?"
With modern human technology, although we can't currently forge Spiritual Particle Metal, we've already understood the principles and characteristics of its manufacture. The Security Bureau has hundreds of tons stocked in its warehouse, but the most precious thing to the bureau are the emblems on the door.
The emblems and patterns unearthed from the ruins can help the Security Bureau develop a systematic understanding of the 'Era of Spiritual Power.'
"In the end, will all creatures, plants, and insects meet the same end? Is this confirmed?" Lin Ying asked Li Wenkang with a look of intrigue after recovering from the shocking news.
"It's been verified. We have thoroughly mastered sufficient data analysis and evidence." Li Wenkang smiled at Lin Ying, "The real significance of the ruins unearthed lies here. The prehistoric era of Spiritual Power has already fully experienced the era of spiritual resurgence. Our excavation and translation of the relics... in a way, it's akin to a certain level of foresight."
"So, about the ruins at the porcelain factory, you all must keep this absolutely secret."
"Until the excavation is complete, I'll be stationed here to prevent any unforeseen incidents."
"Isn't Chang'an deep within the Xia Country? What unexpected incidents could occur here?" Ansheng asked Li Wenkang.
"An incident is an incident because we can't predict it. You could say our Security Bureau's reach is quite extensive, but we're no gods who can foresee everything," Li Wenkang chuckled, looking at Master Fox with a subtle meaning:
"If you want to understand more deeply, you could take on a position in our Security Bureau and access the database."
"With the capabilities you've shown, you could oversee a territory just like Wang Qiqi, delegate duties to a secretary, and the only thing you'd need to do is be the hero whenever a Spirit Beast causes trouble."
"Endless wealth, boundless grandeur."
"Wealth."
Ansheng thought for a moment, tugged at Lin Ying's sleeve, and said to Li Wenkang, then went to tug Wang Qiqi's sleeve, saying, "Grandeur."
Li Wenkang: "......"
This fox, your words are a bit too genuine, aren't they?
Without even thinking, Ansheng directly refused Li Wenkang's invitation.
The reason for the refusal is quite simple. Anyone who's worked for a couple of days knows the word 'job' entails indescribable hardship, a burden even the role-players fear would break under pressure and fry their brains.
The torment of working is second only to the final sprint for university entrance exams.
Let's skip the work.
If something comes up, just call me instead of saying a secretary can handle it.
Who are you trying to fool?
Wang Qiqi was just over there working overtime.
...
Sitting for almost over an hour in Li Wenkang's temporary office, it was a rarity to meet someone who spoke the language of humans. Ansheng and Lin Ying eagerly consulted him about many things related to the era of spiritual resurgence.
And during the process of asking questions,
Ansheng also presented the lingering doubts, sown in his mind since yesterday, to Li Wenkang.
According to Xia Country's law, espionage should be classified as a crime of conduct, not a crime of result.
Simply put,
Once you've been turned, you've already committed espionage, even if no harm comes to the country, and admitting it still falls under espionage. Of course, if it's determined you were coerced and did no harm to the country, and you confess, the judicial institution would generally exempt you from espionage penalties.
But Li Wenkang is different, even if his intention was to trap enemy spies, he did take Da Le's money.
He's factually committed espionage, even if judicial institutions excuse it, he shouldn't re-enter a governmental system, should he?
"Actually, the matter involves Lin Ying's great-uncle and grandfather,"
"They knew about my deeds and how I planned to use deceitfully gained funds to operate guerrilla warfare disguised as pirates to attack merchant ships. They advised the spirited young me, and got me two missiles..."
Li Wenkang shrugged nonchalantly, "Then while helping them transport goods back, I got caught by the Security Bureau at the time. It wasn't espionage, nearly got charged with a war crime instead."
"They bullied others too much, and what do we have to fear? Old grudges aren't anything serious."
Ansheng: "........"
Good heavens, assembling an armed group in Malaysia to attack all passing foreign merchant ships, especially targeting American ships for extortion.
I think your thinking is too extreme.jpg
...
"Li Xiao has quite a youthful mindset and incorporates trendy lingo in his speech, saying it's to better connect with young people for instruction and teaching...."
After leaving Li Xiao's office, Wang Qiqi explained to the two with a resigned face:
"Don't be surprised, Li Xiao might be extreme in thought, but he's not malicious."
All official Security Bureau members know that within Li Xiao's heart, there are only two countries, and people are only two types.
One type is 'our own', and the other type is 'the dead'.
By rights, someone like Li Wenkang shouldn't hold such a high position.
But he alone stands as a pinnacle in the field of Spiritual Particle research, and a daunting mountain to top it off.
In the field of Primordial DNA research, Li Wenkang is an insurmountable summit.
This kind of scientific and technical talent is not rare in the Security Bureau, though each of them has their own blemishes and doesn't appear before the public.
Grandmaster Lin tricked him back into the country and called in the Security Bureau to detain him for a reason.
"Certainly not surprised, usually it's like seeing ghosts," Ansheng quipped.
Although Li Wenkang hasn't injected himself with Spirit Particle Potion, even in ordinary conditions, his strength might rival that of a Spirit Beast.
He truly turns all his knowledge into combat power, bolstering himself as a monster.
Moreover, through conversation, Ansheng learned something.
Whether it's Li Wenkang, the Longevity Club, or other national institutions, their ability to create various life-extending potions, or temporarily endow people with Spirit Beast powers,
ultimately comes down to 'Primordial DNA'.
By utilizing the commonality of Primordial DNA, it circumvents the so-called rejection response, and there's no need to fear genetic pollution.
Nevertheless, Beast Warrior technology doesn't fall into this category.
Beast Warrior technology was concocted by the Russians to counter America's superpower warrior genetics technology.
In truth,
America's project is basically a PPT, even now, their special genetic editing technology is held in private research labs by the Longevity Club's corporate members.
"Let's go! I'll take you to get the Spirit Particle Potion," Wang Qiqi said to Master Fox.
