CHAPTER 23: CHAPTER 23: WEBSITE

Each time a newcomer exits a talent entry instance, the 14th Bureau needs to stand by in advance to gather information on these individuals.

Only in this way can their information be properly recorded.

This way, if any incidents involving extraordinary powers injuring people occur, they can quickly identify the suspects.

Generally speaking, the 14th Bureau doesn’t plan to do anything to those with talent entries.

On one hand, they don’t want to escalate things.

On the other hand, talent entries are too mysterious; nobody knows what kind of entry a person might have gained.

Some strange entries, if used well, can cause massive destruction.

Therefore, the 14th Bureau has already established a rule not to provoke newcomers with talent entries lightly, focusing instead on recruitment.

Some necessary deterrence is also required.

So that some people, after obtaining extraordinary power, do not immediately begin to harm ordinary people.

"The information seems mostly fine, but this time, quite a few people chose magic entries?"

Zhang Yi swiped his finger across the screen in front of him, raising an eyebrow after a moment’s glance.

They came to this conclusion because there is a scanner that can conduct a blurry detection.

The principle behind this scanner is simple: after obtaining three-dimensional attribute enhancements, a person’s muscle density increases, and the scan feedback naturally differs from an ordinary person.

With current technology, they can create such an instrument.

However, this detection will also miss enhancements in spiritual power.

Even if it’s not very accurate, it can serve as a reference.

"Probably the talent entries that appeared were too deadly, so people didn’t choose them."

A subordinate beside him thought for a moment and said.

Many newcomers are like this; when they discover a deadly entry, unless it’s extraordinarily powerful, rarely does anyone choose it.

"Yes, pay special attention to those who have selected talent entries and see if we can recruit them to the 14th Bureau."

Zhang Yi simply circled a few names, including Zhou Yingting.

After finishing, Zhang Yi looked up at the talents in the sky.

Unlike others, he could also see the talents in the sky.

Watching the gigantic countdown and the number of locks, his brows furrowed deeply.

"Captain Zhang, has this instance really locked on fifty thousand people?"

The subordinate beside him instantly understood what Zhang Yi was looking at.

Even though he couldn’t see it, as a member of the 14th Bureau, he knew this instance had indeed locked on fifty thousand people.

If all fifty thousand are drawn into the instance, how many would die?

Currently, this talent instance is the bureau’s top priority.

They are busy to the point of exhaustion, just hoping that fewer people will die once these fifty thousand go in.

Moreover, when these people emerge, it will be another significant problem.

Fifty thousand go in, many mouths, much gossip.

Once they come out, it will be hard to conceal the talent entries.

As of now, no one is ready to announce the talent entries to the public; the hope is to keep this under wraps for a little longer.

"Would I lie to you?"

Zhang Yi glanced at his counterpart, his expression calm.

"Hehe, that’s not what I meant."

The subordinate laughed nervously, waving his hand, "It’s just that since fifty thousand are locked on, we don’t know who they are. Preparing individually might have had some effect."

"Sigh, how would we even know? We should just think of ways to deal with the selection of fifty thousand people."

Zhang Yi shook his head.

Rumor has it that the bureau is trying to see if they can replace them.

Otherwise, if this instance actually selects fifty thousand people, it would be terrifying.

Once inside, the fatalities could number in the tens of thousands.

Our branch can’t withstand such immense pressure.

"Alright, let’s call it a day. Everyone, head back."

Zhang Yi waved his hand, signaling everyone to return to the vehicle.

....

On the other side, after leaving the bus stop, Zhou Yingting blended into the crowd and disappeared.

Cen Kewan had initially followed, intending to thank Zhou Yingting.

But unexpectedly, with a blink, Zhou Yingting vanished before her eyes, leaving Cen Kewan sighing helplessly as she left on her own.

"Finally back."

Zhou Yingting bought a new phone on the street and threw the gifted one into the river.

Back home, Zhou Yingting sank into the sofa, the whole person relaxing.

This apartment was Zhou Yingting’s home.

As for Zhou Yingting’s parents, they had passed away unexpectedly years ago.

Currently, Zhou Yingting still has some relatives who invite him to spend the new year with them.

However, it’s not quite his home, and Zhou Yingting prefers spending the New Year alone in his solitary house rather than with others.

After lying down for a bit, he sat up, took his newly purchased phone, and logged into the website he was given.

"Lingyan Pavilion..."

Was the name of this website derived from Li He’s poetry, or does it come from the Great Tang dynasty’s Lingyan Pavilion?

Zhou Yingting pondered, looking at the website in front of him.

As the website opened, he quickly saw rows of navigation.

"Item Trading, Instance Communication, Talent Entry Compilation."

There were three entry points in total.

After slight hesitation, Zhou Yingting clicked on Item Trading.

The webpage refreshed, and what appeared next surprised Zhou Yingting greatly.

Visible on the item trading was a Longevity Pill for five years.

The price, however, was listed at thirteen million per pill.

Zhou Yingting’s mouth twitched slightly.

What was Song Qingyun thinking? Did he quote precisely thirteen million to buy this without any profit?

Later, he was even willing to overpay by a million, is he doing charity?

Despite his attempts to understand, Zhou Yingting couldn’t make sense of Song Qingyun’s actions.

However, if this item is worth thirteen million, and someone overpays, it seems sincere. Could it relate to his talent of being a gentleman?

As Zhou Yingting stared at the webpage, it flashed slightly, indicating that the Longevity Pill had already been bought.

It seems that once these items are listed, they are instantly snapped up.

But Zhou Yingting didn’t care; no matter how good it was, he lacked the funds to make a purchase.

He continued scrolling down, and what he saw next shocked him, a hint of astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"They even have this kind of item on here!?"
