280: Chapter 260: Choice_2 280: Chapter 260: Choice_2 Rather than allowing a precious seed to wither mid-growth, it is better to reclaim and continue nurturing it.
“…Everyone need not worry about our Special Service Team being understaffed.
The other institutions in the Ancient city have completed their staffing programs and will soon have a large number of their students joining our team…”
The leader who was speaking seed a bit resentful, likely questioning why this action wasn’t taken sooner.
However, Lu Ping’an, who was growing more imrsed in this world, knew that many things are not as simple as they seem.
What appears to be rely procedural issues and bureaucracy often involved many deeper, unspeakable considerations.
For example, the Special Service Team, as law-enforcers, their stance and awareness are crucial.
The Ancient City University, which has an official background, clearly has an advantage here.
That’s why the Special Service Team prioritizes recruits from the Ancient City University before even considering skilled civilians.
As for whether there are power struggles within, or a bias towards Ancient City University, as long as the flag of “maintaining the credibility and purity of law enforcent” still flies, and there is a steady supply of manpower, there is no need to pursue the matter further.
From the perspective of other graduates, the relatively low earnings and benefits of the Special Service Team (not to ntion their overly demanding workload and responsibilities)…
may not appeal.
However, the interests of these top-tier institutions and their graduates may not align.
They would probably aspire to extend their influence.
“…This incident has caught us off guard, causing significant loss and even bringing sha to Alma Mater.
But even more distressing are the premature losses of our promising students…”
Although the language seed usual, Lu Ping’an heard sothing different in it.
The two culprits of this event, Lei Huoren and the Sophist, are both top graduates of Ancient City University.
Their betrayal has undoubtedly cast doubts over the “common sense” that “Ancient City University graduates are particularly reliable.”
Now, if other institutions push harder, many things will naturally change, and the cracks will start to show.
“Everyone can take a break, reassess their states and prepare for the start of the next academic year and the new classes.
There’s no need to worry too much about the Special Service Team because, considering the severe security situation that Ancient City is about to face, the formation of every Special Service team across all districts will significantly increase.”
The incident was over, but the aftermath was just beginning.
Previously, to distract Ancient City’s forces, the Mother Goddess cult had established nearly thirty large-scale pollution sources here.
While so were directly “purified”, so were successfully cleared to their cores and transford into ordered Secret Realms with the help of divine power.
However, so are probably still in the “periter containnt” phase.
Newly established ordered Secret Realms are also unstable, requiring repeated “purification” to achieve internal balance.
Wild disordered Secret Realms are even more chaotic, with any situation possibly occurring, and there is the risk of directly linking to so Otherworld.
All these areas require manpower to guard, and designated personnel to tackle.
So areas, it is said, already have hundreds of squads clashing day and night.
This requires a significant amount of combat power from the Special Service Team and will form a key part of upcoming work.
In the face of severe manpower shortage, expanding the workforce, leading to severe financial shortage, seems a not-too-bad choice…
After all, you need to be alive to enjoy a rich life.
“…Everyone need not worry, we have the patience to await your growth…”
From the attitude of the leader, he seemingly wanted the students to directly quit their current tasks and return to school as soon as possible.
After the speech, ca decision ti.
Lu Ping’an took a quick glance around, only a few chose to quit…
which surprised him a bit.
“I’m not a fool.
Can I even escape from this?” The warriors who had witnessed everything began to realize more.
“Next, I guess ranks, military equipnt, and benefits of each team will be upgraded, huh?
Considering the long-term, it seems like the best ti to take action.” Apparently more rationale, but the decision made was no different.
Such outcos seed to be within the leader’s expectations, even after only a handful of students had chosen to “terminate,” he didn’t say much.
If they were willing to continue, it would be another docunt.
“An application to join the Special Service Team?” Lu Ping’an was a bit surprised—wasn’t this way too early?
But after a mont of thought, it seed quite reasonable.
The school can’t bear too much pressure for the fallen soldier students.
However, the Special Service Team can provide support…
if these fallen ones were official mbers of the Special Service Team.
The earlier student was correct, this is a concession and benefit given by the Bureau of Anomaly Managent and the Special Service Team after a lucky chance and multi-party negotiations.
“…We have lost twelve students, who will now enjoy the proper benefits of a full Special Service Team mber, including their nas being inscribed upon the Tablet of Consolation…”
Perhaps, this was done in consideration of the sacrificed Heroic Spirits, whereas the others might just be benefiting peripherally.
Instantly, several people’s faces went pale.
They had chosen to quit, but were now obviously hesitating.
After signing his na, Lu Ping’an was prepared to leave.
He was busy, and Team 3 also had its area to clean up.
“Lu Ping’an.”
But as soon as he stepped outside, he was held back by the leader who then led him to an empty office.
“I am Shui Minxu, the Director of the Regular Science Education Departnt, and the supervisor of this internship.” This man who had not introduced himself to most of the interns was now introducing himself to Lu Ping’an.
“Hello.” Lu Ping’an responded, but his attitude did not resemble a student addressing a school leader.
“Do you need sothing?” He was quite hungry, so he was even more direct.
The director also laughed and did not dwell too much on the boy’s attitude in front of him.
His experience had exposed him to too many eccentrics and abnormals.
“You did well this ti; we’ve heard.
Your captain is nominating you for a dal.”
“Oh?
What?” Lu Ping’an was hearing this for the first ti.
“If it weren’t for the exemplary performance of you and other interns, we would have been at a considerable disadvantage.
Thanks to your efforts, we can offer equal benefits to fallen students.
We are grateful on behalf of these silenced students.
We rember.”
After he finished speaking, the leader left the room.
Now it was Lu Ping’an who felt taken aback.
He pondered for a mont before he could estimate what had likely happened.
The poor performance of the interns, with significant casualties, naturally put the school and the internship holders on the defensive.
The ergence of Lu Ping’an, a “ritorious intern,” turned the tide of events.
At the very least, it proved that these interns indeed had impressive combat capability.
So, giving the other interns the opportunity to beco official team mbers was an considered option.
“Now, I really might beco famous, huh…”
