I drew a talisman to save the sun from its bleeding state.

Chapter 56 Hello, this is Liu Zhen from the Thunder Department. Connect me to the Ganzhou local Thun

Zhou Zheng is sometimes quite helpless. The reason he was willing to date Xiaoxue was simply because they enjoyed playing games together and were very comfortable with each other. But ever since they started dating... Xiaoxue's adorable qualities have only increased.

Xiaoxue is a girl who seems weak but is actually very resilient; well, a rich and beautiful girl.

I drove back to Xiaoxue's mansion and got out of the car.

As soon as he drove out of the garage, Zhou Zheng saw several unfamiliar names appear in the lobby on the first floor. Upon closer inspection, the names appeared above his head, along with the status bar and health bar.

Zhou Zheng: "Special Training Department? They even have first and second level cultivation?"

What's going on?

After confirming there was no hostility, Zhou Zheng shielded Brother Liu in front of him, while he and Xiaoxue walked in the dangerous rear, warning Tang Ying to be on high alert.

Liu Zhen walked ahead speechlessly, with three soft-boiled eggs hiding behind him: "It's just a local cultivator department, no need to be nervous."

"Okay, Brother Liu, please continue walking ahead. We'll enjoy the night view from behind."

Liu Zhen: "..."

Sometimes I really admire Zhou Zheng, that little brat. He's brave when he needs to be, and incredibly quick to back down when he needs to be.

As we entered, the three members of the Special Training Division stood up in the living room. They were dressed in modern-style built-in magic armor, with a modified pistol with a blessing tucked into their waistbands. Even their trousers had a standard blessing on them—they were dressed in modern magic armor from head to toe, and their combat power was visibly at its maximum.

Theoretically speaking, Zhou Zheng is not afraid of cultivators at the second stage of Foundation Establishment.

But in reality, Zhou Zheng didn't want to be face-to-face with a Foundation Establishment cultivator trained in modern warfare in the lobby—it really made him feel unsafe.

Xiao Zhengjun was also in the hall. When he saw Zhou Zheng walk in, he stood up and said, "Zhou Zheng, let me introduce you. These three are from the Special Training Section. I only learned about this special department today... You can think of them as cultivators in an official sect."

Li Hui, dressed in a black coat with a white undershirt and black fingerless gloves that faintly gleamed with a blessed aura, said, "Hello, are you Zhou Zheng? I'm from the Special Repair Section. Boss Xiao reported that a Foundation Establishment demon was being secretly hidden in a suburban factory. We're here to investigate, please cooperate."

Liu Zhen was speechless for a moment, then looked at Zhou Zheng, who was peeking out from behind his left shoulder: "They're here to investigate, not to harm you. What are you afraid of?"

Xiaoxue peeked out from behind Liu Zhen's right shoulder: "It's definitely right for my brother Zhou to be careful. They look very fierce, so we should be careful."

Tang Ying, who was also peeking out from beside Xiaoxue, nodded: "Agreed."

Liu Zhen: "..." Damn, these three are such clowns.

Liu Zhen pulled Zhou Zheng out from behind and pushed him to the front: "This is the real Zhou Zheng."

Zhou Zheng looked at the three modern cultivators with full combat power in front of him, and then at Xiao Zhengjun's expression. After confirming that these three were not here to cause him trouble, he was slightly relieved: "Please understand, gentlemen. I have offended a lot of people recently, and I feel a little uncomfortable being close to unfamiliar high-level cultivators."

The two opponents were at the first level of Qi Refining Realm, and the other was at the Foundation Establishment Realm. They were clearly experienced.

I've only been training for less than a week, so my stats aren't strong enough, and I feel a bit insecure.

Li Hui: "Please rest assured, we are an official department. As long as you cooperate with our investigation, we will dispatch appropriate combat practitioners to protect your personal safety. Please have a seat here. We'll fill out a form and ask about the situation at the time."

Zhou Zheng was relieved only after repeatedly confirming that the three people had no hostility towards him. He sat down on the sofa in the hall and kept a good distance from the three special training students.

Li Hui looked speechlessly at Zhou Zheng, who was sitting at the farthest point on the opposite sofa: "We're really not bad people. We're official members, and this is our identification. Please rest assured, we absolutely have no intention of harming you."

Zhou Zheng raised his hand: "No need, let's chat at this distance, everyone can hear each other."

Li Hui sighed helplessly and took out the form from her briefcase. Just as she was about to walk over, she saw Zhou Zheng's wary expression and had no choice but to put the folder on the table and push it over: "After verification, you are not registered in the official cultivator database. Please fill out the registration form first, we will take a photo of you and upload it to the database, and then we can discuss the Foundation Establishment monster in the suburban factory."

Zhou Zheng glanced at the form; it was a normal and ordinary cultivator registration form.

Liu Zhen leaned closer for a look, then frowned: "Didn't you register?"

Zhou Zheng picked up the pen: "I've only been cultivating for four or five days, not even a week yet. Only Baiyun Temple knows I'm cultivating. I didn't even know that cultivation required registration now."

Liu Zhen reached out and pressed down on the pen in Zhou Zheng's hand, then looked up and asked, "Are you a local department? You've been trying to confirm this for over a week, and Zhou Zheng's information still hasn't been entered?"

Li Hui looked at Captain Chu Chen, who was sitting silently to the side.

Chu Chen: "Yes, there is no information about Zhou Zheng in the database."

Liu Zhen's temper flared up instantly. He pulled out his phone and made a video call: "Hello, this is Liu Zhen from the Mine Department. Connect me to the Ganzhou local mine command headquarters."

The phone beeped twice, and a new video window popped up. A middle-aged man with a cadre-style haircut and glasses was standing at attention by the bed in the bedroom, wearing pajamas.

"Greetings, Commander. I am Zhong Yuan from the Ganzhou Mine Command."

Liu Zhen cursed, "Do you guys even know how to do your jobs?! Are all the admissions officers dead? Are the personnel department full of pigs? Do you know that our Thunder Department is short-staffed?! Do you know that Thunder Path geniuses are extremely rare?! We've allocated so much money to you, and you've all gone to eat pig swill?!"

Why can't they even do the simplest registration work at the grassroots level properly? They've clearly ordered that any discovered geniuses must be registered within 24 hours, why can't they do it?

This is the information age, and the underworld's grassroots staff have already written three rounds of daily reports—three whole rounds! The Heavenly Venerable's decree has come twice! I've been standing here for two days straight! Evil spirits and demons have come eight times! And you guys haven't even entered my information!

Even if there were geniuses in the Thunder Dao, you bunch of cowards have ruined them all!

This guy's been struck by lightning twice! The video's been trending for three days! His post sharing his thoughts has 1.1 views! Are you guys planning to wait until someone's dead before you come and record your message?!

Zhong Yuan broke out in a cold sweat instantly: "Yes, yes, yes."

Liu Zhen: "You big idiot! It's been a week and you still haven't gotten it recorded! Is this the efficiency of your local government?! Six months' salary deduction, the investigation team is coming down tomorrow! Those who can do the job, do it; those who can't, replace them all! How come the Lei Department has such high salaries, yet they're supporting a bunch of good-for-nothings like you?!"

Enraged, Liu Zhen hung up the video call and then called another person: "Send an investigation team and an inspection team to Ganzhou tomorrow to check where the enrollment supervision funds went and double-check the grassroots information registration!"

"Yes, sir. Brother Liu, why are you so angry? What happened?"

Liu Zhen: "It's been a week, and they still haven't entered Lei Daotian's information into the system! A whole week! Don't these people know that the heads of all the local departments combined don't even weigh as much as Lei Daotian's head? Can you believe how angry I am?"

What's most infuriating is that I was standing right next to the Celestial Venerable, watching the forms being filled out and uploaded. The Celestial Venerable had already reviewed them, and I even had a copy in my hand, yet the local form hadn't even been recorded!

"No wonder, I'll take care of it right away."

Liu Zhen hung up the video call, and the anger on his face dissipated.

Zhou Zheng looked on in amazement: "Brother Liu, you really manage to keep your emotions hidden."

"Showing his anger" refers to Liu Zhen's outburst of rage. "Not revealing his emotions" refers to Liu's terrifyingly strong ability to control his emotions.

Li Hui was under immense pressure and sought help from the team leader.

Registering now is problematic, not registering is also problematic; this registration form is like a hot potato.

If we go ahead and do it, we'll slap the face of the Raibu boss. If we don't go ahead and do it, we'll be asking for trouble.

Chu Chen, a second-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, had a flushed face and was slightly sweating, feeling that this summer was indeed a bit hot.

That phone call just now went directly to the head of the Ganzhou Mine Corps headquarters.

The Special Repair Section and the Ganzhou Mine Department Headquarters are not the same department, but the chief was scolded severely. These three members of the Special Repair Section... who would have thought that they would step on such a big landmine?

Zhou Zheng looked at Liu Zhen: "Then, Brother Liu, should I fill it out again?"

Liu Zhen said meaningfully, "Fill it in, there's really something special about this place."

Zhou Zheng picked up a pen and began to fill in: "There is indeed a saying. It seems that an extremely bad result is preceded by countless extremely bad causes."

What appears to be an impending disaster is actually the result of years of meticulous planning and preparation by malicious individuals.

I just don't know how deep the water is here.
