You were very active in the response to the Demon Miasma and the Evil Cultivator cases, garnering a great deal of merit, enough to earn Dai Hong’s praise. Yuran mentioned that you intended to take the patrol examination, have you decided when you plan to do so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing that Chen Jing had finally stopped discussing matters related to Chen Yuran and had instead started asking about his own affairs, Li Jing thought it was a good opportunity to steer the conversation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"To take the patrol examination, I will need to wait a few more months at least.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then he continued truthfully,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I came from the mountains and do not have an identity card. My identity verification was applied for a few months ago and is still under review. I also lack the necessary diplomas that correspond to the patrol profession, so I need to work in the Assistant Inspector Department for a while to acquire credentials...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before he could finish, Chen Jing interrupted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Speaking of identity verification, I’ve already helped you take care of that.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out an ID card and handed it over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t misunderstand, this wasn’t me being nosy. Yuran asked me to lend a hand. Initially, I planned to have her give it to you, but since we’ve already met, I thought it wouldn’t be necessary to trouble her.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Yuran hadn’t even told him what her father did for a living. How could he have possibly helped expedite his identity verification?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Impossible!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, while Chen Yuran could be capricious, she never meddled in unnecessary matters.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unless he explicitly asked for Chen Yuran’s help, she wouldn’t interfere.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this, a conclusion could be easily drawn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing’s explanation was nothing more than a smokescreen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This meeting was something he came \"prepared\" for!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Looking at Chen Jing, who appeared to be acting naturally, Li Jing accepted the ID card, adhering to the principle of seeing through but not speaking out, and smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank you, uncle. It’s really inconvenient not to have an ID card in Jianghai. I got into the Assistant Inspector Department because my identity information was under review. Without the relevant credentials, I wouldn’t even be able to step foot inside the department.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I just gave it a little push, it’s not a big hassle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing waved his hand dismissively and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I can’t help you with work experience. But based on your active performance during the Demon Miasma and the Evil Cultivator cases, you’ve already qualified to sit for the patrol examination. Although the Patrol System doesn’t give meaningless awards, publicizing your active performance wouldn’t benefit you personally. However, your actions are clearly documented within the Patrol System. What they need isn’t just strength but also an investigative mind. They wouldn’t reject a talent like you who has significantly contributed to cracking important cases.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing this, Li Jing was taken aback and asked incredulously,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you saying, uncle, that as long as I’m willing, I can directly participate in the examination?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Exactly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing nodded and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Don’t dream about any kind of preferential admission; rules are rules and you can’t break them. If you want to join the Patrol Bureau, you have to pass the examination fairly.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After that, he added,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"By the way, the two boys who were in the same team as you and investigated the contraband case have also qualified for the examination. However, with their Second Realm Cultivation level, even if they join the Patrol Bureau, they can only start from the grassroot level as first-grade patrollers.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Is that so?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing blinked, somewhat disbelieving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no such thing as promotion on merit within the patrol officials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Promotion was based on strength.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Merits were used to obtain rewards and resources.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So, he did not expect his previous merits to come into play.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But with Chen Jing saying that, it indicated that his merits were influential.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the very least, participating in the examination for employment was no longer a problem.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was undoubtedly good news for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally thought he would have to stay in the Assistant Inspector Department for a few more months, but now he didn’t need to go through the trouble.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the merit of assisting in case investigations paving the way, he only needed to understand the various laws outlined in the patrol guidelines and he could formally take the examination at the Patrol Bureau.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The laws outlined in the patrol guidelines were much more complex than those in the assistant inspector guidelines.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, for him now, they were not overly challenging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his increased cultivation level, his memory was also gradually improving.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As long as he was willing to focus, he could comprehend them in half a month, or even a week.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as Li Jing was talking to Chen Jing, Academician Liu, who had left earlier, hurriedly returned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Director Chen, there have been unusual spatial fluctuations confirmed within the offshore area, likely indicating the appearance of a Small Secret Realm. The exact location of the passage remains unclear for now, as the spatial anomaly is somewhat weak, so we need to further confirm it.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So there’s really a Small Secret Realm?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jing turned his head in surprise, saying.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You all hurry up and confirm this, I will contact the Disaster Management Bureau and have them immediately put together an exploration team.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We will have a result within half an hour.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Academician Liu, in an excited rush, rubbed his hands together and quickly walked away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Pinpointing the location of a Secret Realm Passage is a significant achievement.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for those of us in research, we don’t care about such things.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Being an academician in the Research Institute, don’t we all have a monthly salary starting in the millions?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more outrageous ones are calculated in tens of millions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What the Research Institute really cares about is...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What kind of \"surprises\" could be found in the Secret Realm Space, and whether they possess scientific research value.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the tiniest discovery of scientific value might become an essential part of their scientific career.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They might even, based on this tiny discovery, develop technology that has never appeared in the world before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With Academician Liu bustling away, Chen Jing turned around to look at Li Jing, his satisfaction increasing the more he looked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After patting him heavily on the shoulder, Chen Jing took out his mobile phone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m going to step away for a bit, I’ll be right back.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, you go ahead, Uncle.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Chen Jing was far away, he grimaced as he rubbed his shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That pat was really heavy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It nearly knocked him off his feet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Six Realm...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It truly is terrifying!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon confirming the existence of the Small Secret Realm, while intrigued, Li Jing took out his phone and sent an Immortal Message to Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu, who were standing guard outside the bathing beach.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three members of the Heavenly King Group were now eligible for the patrol exam, so isn’t it necessary to let them know about this news?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>By letting them know earlier, they can also prepare earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the Immortal Message was sent, both Lu Yangcheng and Yi Xiuzhu quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tianwang, is this news directly from the bureau chief? Wonderful! In this case, can we just quit our job and not waste our time in the Assistant Inspector Department?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Lu Yangcheng’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Understood, I’ll prepare for the patrol exam after I finish work later.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was Yi Xiuzhu’s reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yi Xiuzhu’s response was very normal, and very much like him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as for Lu Yangcheng...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He just got the news, and he’s already thinking about quitting his assistant inspector job?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s absurd!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They were in the middle of their shift now, and the three of them had yet to get the results of the newcomer’s exam.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since Kong Wu had not notified them of anything, it should be safe to say they all passed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Doesn’t having a job as a formal assistant inspector, and being specially enlisted, certainly give them some advantages for the patrol exam?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaking his head, Li Jing put his phone away and looked up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just then, he saw more than a thousand drones, carrying some sort of equipment, taking off from the coast and advancing towards the sea at half-meter intervals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a doubt, this was the Research Institute’s mechanism for confirming the precise location of the Spatial Passage.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Staring intently, his phone, which he just put away, vibrated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Subconsciously taking out his phone, Li Jing found a message from Liu Sisi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The Chicken Shop will reopen tomorrow, what’s your schedule? Can you come tomorrow night?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing that the Chicken Shop would reopen tomorrow, Li Jing didn’t think much and replied with an Immortal Message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I still have a day shift tomorrow, so I’m afraid I can’t come tomorrow night. But I can come to the shop during the day.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once the message was sent, Liu Sisi quickly responded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Then it’s settled, come over during the day and help me with the shop. I’ll have a surprise for you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surprise?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Li Jing frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was genuinely unsure when it came to Liu Sisi’s surprises.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Based on Liu Sisi’s temperament, her surprise was more likely to be a shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he was pondering how to reply, Liu Sisi sent another message.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are probably still working, I won’t bother you. Don’t ask me what the surprise is, it wouldn’t be a surprise if I told you.
