"Xia Fan, come to my office for a while." While Xia Fan was lying on the sofa reading, his father opened the door and called out to him.
Closing the book, Xia Fan stood up and looked around. Suddenly, he felt a sense of reluctance. For a week, his father had been waiting for a reply from the Blue Boiling Point training camp. Now that he had called out to him, he guessed that there was news from the training camp.
Speaking of which, the work at the Brittany Special Task Force was pretty good. It was just a small residential planet under the jurisdiction of the Alliance. Usually, it was not busy at all. Everyone ate together, joked around, and went to the training center every day to train.
Jerry's father had a kind personality and was relatively lax with Xia Fan and the others. As long as they did not miss their shifts, whether it was watching movies, reading books, or getting together to play cards, he would not ignore them.
Xia Fan walked into his father's office and closed the door.
His father glanced at Xia Fan and opened the drawer of his desk. He took out an envelope stamped with the seal of the Special Task Force and placed it in front of Xia Fan.
"This is your recommendation letter. There is a gathering place on it. There are still twelve days before the exam. Because Brittany is a relatively remote sector in the Alliance, I suggest you leave as soon as possible. With your current status as a trainee investigator, you do not need to buy a ticket. You just need to tell the shipping company your itinerary in advance, and they will naturally arrange it for you," his father said to Xia Fan.
Opening the envelope, Xia Fan saw that Xia Fan was recommended by the Brittany branch. After being approved by the headquarters, he was given the opportunity to participate in the Blue Boiling Point training camp. Xia Fan should arrive in the Trident Sector before the specified date.
Xia Fan was quite happy. After all, becoming an official investigator meant gaining more authority. It would help Xia Fan figure out the history of his family's visit to the Cangyue Universe 40,000 years ago. He also wanted to know where the Tianyi Order left behind by his family was.
Although Xia Fan did not recognize his parents or his clansmen, his desire to return to his family had never stopped.
Xia Fan said with a smile, "Dad, if I can't pass the exam this time, you have to take me in."
Cheh!
His father waved his hand. "You've only been in the station for four months, and you've solved three major C-grade cases consecutively. You've maintained a 100% case solving rate. It would be strange if Blue Boiling Point doesn't accept you."
According to the ranking system of the Special Task Force, cases were divided into different grades. Grade-C cases were known as major cases, Grade-B cases were known as serious cases, and Grade-A cases were top-notch cases that would shake the entire Alliance, or even the entire universe. Xia Fan was only 17 years old, yet he was able to solve three Grade-C major cases in a row. Even in the entire Alliance, he was considered extremely outstanding.
His expression suddenly became serious. His father said to Xia Fan seriously, "Your ability is unquestionable, but I'm still a little worried about your personality. Don't think that I don't know what you and Qin Zimo have done. I know it all."
"With your sharp personality, it's very easy for you to offend people. When you're not by my side in the future, you must be cautious."
.....
Xia Fan sent Lawton off at the airport. Their destinations were different. Xia Fan wanted to go to Blue Boiling Point's training camp. The training camp was a collective cafeteria and dormitory. There was no place for Lawton, so he would return to the Luo family.
As usual, Lawton combed himself meticulously and carried a black leather suitcase. When he thought about how he would not be able to eat the delicacies Lawton made in the future, Xia Fan felt a little sad.
Lawton sorted out the accounts and gave them to Xia Fan. It listed all the expenses he had spent in the four months he had been the housekeeper. The accounts were clear. The numbers showed that Xia Fan's bank account had a balance of 6.32 million Alliance dollars.
This money was earned by Xia Fan as a bounty hunter in his spare time. The largest sum was paid by Jiang Chunwen, which was 10 million.
According to the three-seventy split, Xia Fan received 7 million, and Chu Yan received 3 million. As for the other bounties, the amount was much smaller. All in all, Xia Fan was now considered a wealthy person with some assets in the Alliance.
"What are you doing?" Xia Fan said. "I have absolute trust in you."
Lawton's gaze was gentle. He patted Xia Fan's shoulder lightly. "Take care of the master and clear the accounts. This is my duty. It's what I should do."
"Did you write down my phone number?"
"Yes."
"If you encounter any trouble in the future, remember to call me."
After many reminders, Lawton boarded the passenger ship. Xia Fan felt that this was probably the social relationship his grandfathers had talked about. The Luo family in the Alliance insisted on keeping Lawton by his side, not for the present, but for the future.
With Xia Fan and Lawton's friendship, whether Xia Fan needed help from the Luo family in the future or if the Luo family needed Xia Fan, it would be much easier.
As a large family that could stand tall in the Alliance, the Luo family's way of doing things was indeed unexpected.
Xia Fan's flight was at another terminal. He met his colleagues from the Britania branch in the waiting hall. After saying goodbye reluctantly, Xia Fan embarked on his journey to the Trident Star Region.
.....
A week later.
A gentle female voice was heard from the spacecraft's broadcast system. "Dear passengers, the spacecraft will land on the Blue Boil Planet in 30 minutes. Passengers who are about to disembark, please prepare for landing."
Xia Fan heard the broadcast and looked out of the cabin window. He saw a blue planet. The ocean occupied 80 percent of the planet's surface, like a giant sapphire floating in space.
The wind on the surface was strong, and the waves were tumbling. It looked like the sea was boiling, which was how the Blue Boil Planet got its name.
Because he had the spatial ring given to him by the blind grandpa, Xia Fan did not have much luggage. He easily disembarked the spacecraft and went to the local customs. He easily found the Special Task Force's special passage according to the signs.
There was a long queue for ordinary passengers, but the Special Task Force's special passage was very empty. The customs staff smiled and completed all of Xia Fan's boarding procedures in less than a minute.
This was the privilege. Xia Fan took a long-distance passenger ship from Britania to the Trident Star Region. He did not even have to buy a ticket. The shipping company provided him with a comfortable and luxurious cabin for free. The Special Task Force had many privileges like this. This was the reason why the young people of the Nebula Alliance were so eager to get into the Special Task Force.
In the Alliance, people with superpowers were the most respected, and the Special Task Force was the organization in charge of managing people with superpowers. Their power and social status were very high.
There were many driverless hover cars outside the airport. After Xia Fan chose his destination, he was quickly sent to the Special Task Force's camp.
Although the camp covered a large area, the tallest building was no more than three stories. Large patches of forest separated the buildings, and it was impossible to move around the camp without a means of transportation. Therefore, every new person with superpowers who arrived at the camp was given a small, two-seater hover car.
Three days later, Xia Fan was more or less familiar with the camp, and it was time for the training camp to officially open.
Early in the morning, after breakfast, Xia Fan changed into a light blue uniform and drove the hover car to the auditorium.
The uniforms of the training camp were divided into three colors. Beginner students wore light blue uniforms, intermediate students wore dark blue uniforms, and advanced students wore pure black uniforms.
The level of the training camp was determined by performance. If one performed well, he or she could be promoted to the advanced level in a few months and get the official investigator badge. If one performed poorly, he or she would not be promoted even after a few years. In the end, many people were cruelly eliminated.
Chu Yan had already told Xia Fan that the Blue Boiling Point Training Camp followed the standard of "easy entry but strict exit." It was not difficult to get into the camp. As long as one was a qualified superpower user and had a recommendation from the school or the local Special Task Force, they could enter.
However, the real challenge came after entering the camp. There was a small test every three days and a big test every week. This had always been the norm in the training camp. There were people being eliminated every day, and it forced the students to compete fiercely with each other, to dig out their greatest potential.
Every few months, a hundred thousand new students would enter the camp, but only a small portion of them would be able to stand out and become official investigators. Chu Yan had worked hard for four years to graduate from the Blue Boiling Point Training Camp. She told Xia Fan to be prepared for a long and arduous battle.
The auditorium was already packed with people. The Blue Boiling Point Training Camp did not have a fixed opening time. As long as the number of qualified applicants reached a hundred thousand, it would open immediately. Usually, it would open twice a year. If there were more applicants, it was possible to open three or four times.
Xia Fan found a corner and sat down. All the young new students were in high spirits, whispering to each other, and the noise was a little noisy.
For some reason, in the huge auditorium, in addition to the new students in light blue uniforms, there were about thousands of people in casual clothes sitting around. Next to Xia Fan was a little girl who looked only eleven or twelve years old. She wore a pink hair clip and carried a school bag.
Xia Fan sniffled and looked at the little girl next to him with a puzzled expression. She was very pretty, with watery eyes, a small and delicate nose, fair skin, and a short stature. She sat on the chair, her slender legs naughtily swinging back and forth.
This smell …
Xia Fan's heart was in turmoil. He smelled a terrible smell from the little girl's school bag. It was probably an ion bomb!
More and more people came, and the auditorium was almost full. However, Xia Fan's eyes were always fixed on the little girl. Xia Fan found more and more suspicious things, and at the same time, Xia Fan's gaze made the little girl very uncomfortable.
The little girl raised her chin and said in a somewhat cute voice, "Why do you always stare at me?"
Xia Fan did not answer, and his eyes did not leave the little girl's face.
* Shing! *
The little girl seemed to be a little annoyed. She jumped down from the chair and angrily put her hands on her waist. "Hey, I'm talking about you. You big pervert, why do you keep staring at me?"
Her voice attracted the attention of the people around her. Most of the people in the auditorium were young superhumans, and Xia Fan's stare at a weak little girl was clearly inappropriate. Many people sitting around Xia Fan frowned.
The atmosphere was awkward, but suddenly, something strange happened!
Six rows in front of Xia Fan, there was a pale-faced young man with squinted eyes. He suddenly moved and pounced on a dark-faced middle-aged man sitting not far from him. The two of them instantly started fighting!
At that moment, Xia Fan lunged at the little girl on his left. Further away, other students were also attacking the ordinary people around them. The auditorium was in chaos. Some people even used their Fire Elemental superpowers. Flames rose like a dragon and soared into the sky!
* Kacha! *
The speed superhuman attacked, wind, thunder, and lightning!
In 0.01 seconds, Xia Fan grabbed the little girl's slender arm, and with strength from his waist, he lifted his arms and threw her over his shoulder!
