Upon seeing Lin Yao\'s light talent, the high-level officials of Tianhai City were visibly envious.
They could not be blamed for this, as they had just suffered a loss from the freaks.
In other cities, although the freaks were strong, they were not unstoppable. Therefore, although the new generation of rulers knew the benefits of having a powerhouse, they were not in a hurry.
The powerhouses of the older generation and cities like Tianhai City, which had been ravaged by evil spirits, were different. They had seen the power of the freaks, experienced the fear of being slaughtered by evil spirits, and felt helpless and hopeless in the face of evil spirits killing all living beings.
A deputy mayor was also there. The freak outbreak site more than two months ago was within his jurisdiction. He had personally experienced the site of the freak outbreak and watched humans and their loved ones die in despair with his own eyes. At that time, he had been resentful, furious, and desperate. However, since the martial artist system did not restrain evil, he could only watch as humans and his family members died in front of him one by one. Even now, he still felt heart-wrenching at the thought of the grief he had experienced.
\ 'It would be great if we also had a person with light talent here!\'
His loved ones had died, and most of his friends and neighbors had been injured or killed. The deputy mayor knew the importance of having a powerhouse who could save people.
The other high-level officials who had never experienced a freak outbreak were also a little envious of Lin Yao. There were two reasons for this. One was that they had studied the footage of the freaks wreaking havoc and had felt the threat of the freaks close at hand. They knew the benefits of having a powerhouse.
The other reason was that although the freaks had been repelled by the provincial patrol envoys after the outbreak, they would definitely be punished by the central government for making such a big mistake in their own jurisdiction. It could be said that during the period when the city had been destroyed, the entire high-level officials of Tianhai City had undergone a major change. Now, regardless of whether they were smart enough to want to keep their jobs, were afraid of evil spirits, or loved the people, they were envious of Ninghai City for having such a genius.
However, this envy quickly changed, and some bad thoughts appeared in their minds.
Of course, these bad thoughts were directed at Ninghai City, not Lin Yao.
No one would be so stupid as to deal with Lin Yao. Although there was a distance between Ninghai City and Tianhai City, and it was difficult for the freaks to travel back and forth in the wild (the tickets for armored vehicles were very expensive), they were all part of China. They obeyed the orders of the Chinese central government and could help each other.
Take the previous freak riot as an example. An outbreak of freaks in Tianhai City had caused a major disaster. Before they could no longer hold on, the province had immediately sent a gold-medal patrol envoy to support them. The patrol envoy was powerful, so he had defeated the evil spirits' attack.
However, if he couldn't defeat them and the other Patrol Envoys couldn't make it in time, the powerhouses in the cities around Tianhai City would receive orders from the central government and rush over as reinforcements.
Therefore, Tianhai City had never thought of dealing with Lin Yao. That would be a real idiot. In the big family of China, cities were like brothers who helped each other.
However, no matter how close a brother was, he would never be as strong as himself. Therefore, the higher-ups of Tianhai City could easily guess the bad thoughts in their hearts.
"Can we poach Student Lin Yao to join us?"
As soon as these words came out, the eyes of those envious higher-ups in the city shone with a shrewd light.
Soon, someone coughed.
"Ahem, what do you mean by poaching? There are no regulations in China that prohibit the circulation of personnel. We even encourage personnel exchanges. We are not poaching … Ahem, we are exchanging talents."
"The mayor is right. This is an exchange of talents. If Student Lin Yao likes Tianhai City and wants to settle down here, there's nothing we can do, right?"
"This … I don't think Ninghai City will agree."
"If they don't agree, can they stop Student Lin Yao from transferring his household registration?"
"Find a plan and do your best to make Student Lin Yao stay."
"Look up Student Lin Yao's information. Only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you emerge victorious."
…
This evolution lasted for a long time for Lin Yao. Lin Yao, who was wrapped in the light cocoon, felt as if he had returned to his mother's womb. His entire body was being reshaped, and this reshaping had lasted for four hours and had yet to end.
While Lin Yao was sleeping and undergoing the transformation of the Celestial Tree, the think tank in Tianhai City was quickly analyzing the situation of the door-knocking freak. It had to be said that the think tank in China was very powerful. In a very short time, they discovered that although the living dead that had been transformed by the door-knocking freak could still survive, they could only stay in the room and sleep for a long time.
Soon, the police officers used the Skynet surveillance to find the humans who had stayed in the door for a long time and conducted targeted investigations on them. At the same time, they also reported the situation to the province.
While the middle and lower levels were busy, some of the higher-ups had also gathered together to summarize Lin Yao's information through various channels.
After collecting the information, these higher-ups were shocked by Lin Yao\'s talent, even though they had seen many things before.
Initially, when they saw Lin Yao surrounded by the light cocoon, they had thought that he was a pure light genius.
However, as more information was sent to them, they discovered that they had underestimated Lin Yao.
"Tsk … He has advanced from an ordinary person to an advanced martial artist in just over a month. He has both thunder and light abilities, and he carries out Project Thunder God every day for more than half an hour. Are you sure he is a human?"
"What a terrifying talent. He must be a diamond genius. He might even be at the top of the diamond level."
"Fortunately, he has only awakened for a short period of time. It has only been a month, and his brilliance has not fully blossomed. Otherwise, we wouldn\'t have had a chance to rope him in."
Most of the people that the city could rope in were at the gold level. The upper limit of diamond geniuses was too high, and they would not be interested in the resources in the city. Even if they did not go to super cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, or Shancheng, they would still be important officials in the provinces.
Of course, this was for fully grown diamond geniuses. Lin Yao was still far from them.
However, although he had not reached the standard, he was already on the way to taking off.
Lin Yao\'s diamond talent had not been recognized by the country yet. The higher-ups in Tianhai City had not only obtained Lin Yao\'s talent data but also an evaluation and analysis of his character.
This was a very important matter. After all, China was a country of order. In addition to strength, character was also the focus of the country\'s investigation.
It was impossible for China to issue a huge amount of resources to violent maniacs, anti-human elements, or geniuses who felt that the strong should be superior to the others.
The lower the level, the higher the talent, the more cautious the test would be. This could not be helped. The more powerful the person, the greater the damage they would cause.
Therefore, a character investigation was essential. This was also done in his previous life, and it was commonly known as a political investigation.
Those who passed the political investigation in this world were naturally fine. A large number of resources and protection would be in their hands. If they failed, the country would not kill them directly. Instead, it would guide and educate them first. If they changed during this process, they would receive the same resources as the former. If they failed, the resources would be reduced, and the area where they were located would be under strict surveillance.
If they really bullied their companions and didn't treat ordinary people as anything, then they would naturally be arrested.
If there were no problems, their character and mindset would not change. For example, if they always wanted to give martial artists special privileges, they would just talk about it and not do anything about it. China would not give up. After all, this was a major combat force.
However, they would not let them stay in China. This was a hidden danger. In the end, these people would be transferred to the chaotic lands around China or to mystic realms.
There, they could establish dukedoms and become vassal kings, and China would be more tolerant.
It was also because of this policy that the hidden dangers would be transferred to various places, and China would be peaceful. In this peaceful environment, more kind-hearted geniuses would be born.
Under this kind of policy, the central government would attach importance to the character of super geniuses, and the local high-level officials would also pay attention to it. They were afraid that their investment would not be worth it.
The high-level officials were watching Lin Yao\'s character analysis. Of course, it was not accurate to say that they were watching. It was various psychologists who had conducted a modeling analysis on Lin Yao.
After browsing through it, the psychologists had a rough idea. After communicating with each other a few times, a young man stood up and spoke to the high-level officials.
"Ninghai City has a comprehensive collection of information on Lin Yao and a lot of analysis. However, there are three main characteristics.
"One is pride. Student Lin Yao is very proud. After his talent awakened, he separated himself from ordinary people."
As soon as he said this, many people present frowned.
Pride was not a big deal when everyone was equal. At most, it could only be regarded as a character flaw. However, in this world where one\'s combat strength could crush an army, a proud character could easily develop into a centralized power empire. Even if this was not the case, that person would still regard himself as a privileged aristocrat with power. This was very troublesome and the most common flaw of a talented person.
China would not stifle this. Most of the time, it would guide and educate them or exile them. Neither of these was good for Tianhai City.
Just as the thoughts of the leaders in Tianhai City were spinning rapidly, the young psychologist sensed that something was wrong and hurriedly said, "Student Lin Yao is arrogant in a different way. He regards himself as a savior and believes that he will eventually become the strongest and the person who will save the world. For this reason, he took the initiative to enter the mysterious land when he was at a low-level and even took the initiative to participate in the patrols. After detecting the freaks today, he immediately spoke to stop them without the slightest hesitation or retreat."
"This …"
As soon as the young psychologist said this, the high-level officials of Tianhai City, who were watching through the projection, were speechless. They had never thought that Lin Yao would be so arrogant.
There was indeed a problem with this arrogance, but such a problem would not result in a negative evaluation from China.
While many people were speechless, a slightly younger middle-aged man among the high-level officials said in a somewhat muddled tone, "Chuunibyou syndrome!"
"What is that?"
"It\'s an immature psychological state. Look at it yourself."
After reading the description of chuunibyou syndrome, everyone felt that it was very appropriate.
"Let\'s talk about the second characteristic. Chuunibyou syndrome is nothing, but we need to guide him well and report it to the province."
"We don\'t think we need to do that. Ninghai City has already reported it."
In the same state, the city and the important officials of the state (the province would become a state in the future to avoid this taboo) would have to keep in touch.
Under normal circumstances, Tianhai City, which was at the same level as Ninghai City, would not be able to get any information about Ninghai City. However, they used their connections in the state and naturally gave the state a copy of the information they had obtained.
"In addition to being arrogant, Student Lin Yao\'s second characteristic is kindness and a sense of responsibility. Before he had awakened, he volunteered at the orphanage. Later on, he went there every day, rain or shine, and he even participated in patrols. During this time, he borrowed money and spent a lot of money to help renovate the orphanage and the school. Of course, according to our analysis, Student Lin Yao has his own purpose for doing this. The final result should be that doing good deeds will benefit him. This might be the reason for his advancement this time.
"However, although he has a purpose, everything depends on the heart. No one is perfect when it comes to the heart. Student Lin Yao has been doing good deeds for a long time, and it is very likely that he will continue doing good deeds in the future. This will make him a good person. At the same time, the environment can also change a person. Doing good deeds for a long time will also make people feel good. However, we also need to pay attention to this point. People will only continue doing good deeds if they are in a good mood. If they are slandered or accused after doing good deeds, or if they use public opinion to lead him to be insulted by people who don\'t know the truth, this will have an impact on Student Lin Yao\'s mentality. "
A person\'s mentality and worldview were not static. Some people were kind from a young age and became shameless when they were old, and some people suddenly came to their senses. Among the various conditions that affected one\'s mentality and character, the environment was definitely the most important. A good environment would make people do good, and a bad environment would make good people turn evil.
"You don\'t have to tell me that wantonly slandering others will be punished by the law."
The environment in China in this world was not bad, and their comments would also reduce Lin Yao\'s troubles. Although he did not care if others knew that he had gained something from doing good deeds, no one wanted to hear insults. It was better to have as little insults as possible.
Seeing that the higher-ups had made a decision, the young psychologist revealed Lin Yao\'s last characteristic. "The third characteristic is that he is lustful. He likes beautiful women, and he likes more than one. He is prepared to use his power and money to make deals with beautiful girls."
"Does he have a tendency to force himself on others?"
This was very important. If he did not, he would be a playboy. One spent money, and the other sold sex. It was not a big deal if both parties were willing. However, the latter was a crime.
"Not for the time being. Besides, Lin Yao has a sense of responsibility and kindness. After he was prepared to use money and power to make deals with people, he distanced himself from Yan Yan, who was originally close to him. He will probably look for a materialistic girl in the future."
"Thank you, Mr. Xiao, for your analysis."
…
After disconnecting from the others, the higher-ups of Tianhai City quickly gathered together and glanced at each other.
In the end, it was the leader who spoke.
"Tell me about it."
"There is nothing much to say. Student Lin Yao will definitely be put in an important position. According to the three analyses, Student Lin Yao has a sense of responsibility and kindness. His only flaw is that he is lustful. No, this is his nature as a teenager. It is not considered a flaw."
"However, being lustful is indeed a problem. The key is that he did not hide it."
"This is indeed not good. He can\'t straighten out his family. He can\'t be a military general or an important official in the state. However, he can be a patrol inspector, a martial arts dojo master, a mystic realm guardian, or a commander of the night guards."
"The key now is not whether we can rope him in, but how to rope him in. Can we keep a diamond genius?"
As soon as he said this, everyone fell silent. Diamond geniuses were powerful, but such powerful beings would not stay in Tianhai City. Their city was still too small for diamond geniuses.
While everyone was silent, Tianhai City No. 1, who had just arrived, did not care much.
"There\'s no need to make him stay completely. We just need to befriend him. With a powerhouse as a friend, whether he becomes a patrol inspector or a martial arts dojo master, it will make our lives much easier."
"Indeed, he will return to our province after he becomes a patrol inspector. We can use our connections to get him to come to our city a few more times and clear some dangers in advance. This way, we can ask for support when we encounter danger in the future."
"The martial arts dojo master is also a good choice. We can get him to build a bigger branch here."
Everyone agreed with befriending powerhouses, and they had indeed benefited from it.
The last time a freak disaster had broken out in Tianhai City, the patrol inspector had come so quickly because the deputy mayor of this place had a relationship with that person.
Although more than 500,000 people had died in the end, the mysterious land had merged with the real world, so the loss was considered small. If the patrol inspector had come a little later, it would have been more than 500,000 people who had died.
This was also the reason why the deputy mayor was still a deputy mayor and had not been demoted like the others.
After analyzing the situation, everyone knew the benefits of having a close relationship with a powerhouse. It was inevitable to rope him in. Now, it was time to figure out how to rope him in.
There was no need for others to analyze this. Those who had reached high positions were all shrewd people and had been roped in by countless people. They knew the basic secret to befriending people — wealth, women, and treasures.
After looking at each other, the few people present knew what to do. Of course, they were officials of the imperial court, and they could not do these things openly.
After a few more words of discussion, the higher-ups of the city went offline. Then, the phones of several wealthy people in Tianhai City rang.
"Yes, I understand. We will be able to gather 100 million yuan of liquid funds tomorrow. However, my daughter is still young …"
"Wan Chengfu, this is not asking your daughter to serve others. This is an opportunity for you to achieve meteoric success. If it weren\'t for your sister, I wouldn\'t be talking to you about this."
"Chief, the funds are ready. I\'ll head over now."
"It\'s not a gift. It\'s an investment."
"Don\'t treat this as something illegal."
"General, it\'s not appropriate for us to do this."
"Of course it\'s not appropriate for us, but you\'re a businessman. Is there a problem with investing in the future of a genius?"
…
The officials of the imperial court needed to maintain their purity. Bribery was illegal, but businessmen were different. They pursued profits and could do many things. Therefore, they had become the gloves of many high-level officials.
At midnight that day, several businessmen in Tianhai City were awakened from their sleep and went to the police station one after another, hoping to get closer to Lin Yao.
Then, they bumped into Qin Ya, who was guarding Lin Yao in the house.
As a businessman, Qin Ya looked at the smiling businessmen and the group of beautiful girls around them. She had a gentle expression on her face, but there was a cold glint in her eyes.
