The middle-aged man sighed with a hint of helplessness, "In the future, we’ll have to focus more on cultivating the Dusk rcenaries."
Proxy Agents are the unlucky ones. It’s only after being duped by forces like the Boundary Breaking Faction that they beco Proxy Agents. The requirents are higher, and not every world can produce Proxy Agents. But it must be said, worlds with Proxy Agents are actually quite fortunate.
Having a Proxy Agent in a world is like having an extra insurance policy, isn’t it? Although there are no Proxy Agents, having Dusk rcenaries is also good. In the future, focus on training a group of Dusk rcenaries, starting with a thousand or eight hundred of them.
As long as the actions that disrupt the Great World continue, their world can indirectly gain more security. Additionally, with a greater number of Dusk rcenaries, more knowledge resources can be brought to the native world. Those qualified to beco Dusk rcenaries, once they know the truth, their perception of the Great World will plumt to zero.
Of course, there will be so who feel that the Great World can’t be opposed. Although these people may not play a significant role, it’s okay as long as they can acquire new knowledge or technology from other worlds.
Once they’ve enjoyed the special conveniences of the Dusk Territory, their lacking confidence will gradually be restored.
Not everyone has an unshakable resolve, but growth and power can fill this gap. Draw the native world’s Dusk rcenaries into a specially established departnt where there will be a dedicated think tank to analyze Dusk tasks when they choose their missions.
Let the most suitable Dusk rcenaries participate.
Dusk rcenaries can take orders because their relationship with Dusk is ’employed,’ with a high degree of freedom. They are worth focusing on for cultivation, whereas Proxy Agents... Proxy Agents are essentially part of Dusk. No matter how they cooperate with others or make arrangents, once Dusk gives a mission order, their cooperation and arrangents must be set aside.
Moreover, they don’t believe they can persuade that Proxy Agent to ’emigrate.’ In the end, relying on oneself is better than relying on others. Their native world might have been greatly damaged, but the essence remains. Moreover, most of the population has been preserved.
Order is also rapidly being restored. Cultivating a force that belongs to their world is of the utmost importance.
"I’m going ho." Inside the Dusk Cathedral, Zheng Yichen had put so things in the storage locker and eagerly sought out Tia.
He had had enough of this world. He had eaten and drunk his fill. This world’s online gas weren’t as developed, and the information available on the internet wasn’t as rich. As for other forms of entertainnt? In summary, they were inferior to Hazy City. Moreover, the city was in the midst of rebuilding order, with many places closed. Why stay any longer?
It’s ti to go ho and recuperate!
With the familiar sound of doors opening and closing, Zheng Yichen breathed in the air of Hazy City. He asked the nun beside him, "How long can I rest this ti? I think I should take a long holiday to properly recuperate."
He tugged at his hair that now extended beyond his shoulders. Hunting alien beasts had allowed for swift physical recovery. Additionally, since he had not yet reached adulthood, his hair and nails grew as fast as before. As long as there was no additional damage to his body, they would grow especially quickly.
"Look, my hair has turned white."
Tia was unmoved by Zheng Yichen’s words, "Do you want to give you a dical examination?"
"Eh, let’s have a checkup, including my ntal state," Zheng Yichen decided after thinking it over. He had voluntarily demonized while dealing with the sandworm, and his ntal state had now returned to normal, but he couldn’t be completely sure there were no lingering effects.
A comprehensive examination was necessary.
In the familiar dical room, Tia began with a stethoscope to check Zheng Yichen’s physical condition. Despite the high-tech available, the use of such plain thods wasn’t surprising given the power of Dusk. Even if Tia had taken Zheng Yichen’s pulse, he wouldn’t have found it strange.
After the physical examination, Tia shone a small flashlight into Zheng Yichen’s eyes. When the light from the flashlight hit him, Zheng Yichen felt a mild sense of trance. When he ca back to his senses, he glanced at the clock beside him. Had he really been lost in a trance for nearly ten minutes?
"How is it?"
"Your body is very healthy, and although your ntal state is sowhat restless, it’s recovering," Tia put away the tools and told Zheng Yichen, "You don’t need a very long vacation."
Zheng Yichen’s expression revealed a hint of complaint. He felt he shouldn’t have gone through with this lousy examination.
"Four thousand two." Tia handed Zheng Yichen a handwritten bill.
"..." With another figurative stab at his heart, Zheng Yichen covered his face as he paid the bill. Imdiately after, he went to the entrance of the Dusk Cathedral and called wealthy lady Ahn Qi, "Hello? I’m back now, send a car to move my stuff."
After ending the call with Zheng Yichen, Ahn Qi promptly arranged for soone to pick him up. After so thought, she also reached out to Ahn Ke.
"You’re just arranging for soone to pick him up?" Ahn Ke said after learning about Zheng Yichen’s return
"Yes, is there a problem?"
"...No issue, there’s no need to arrange for soone, I’ll go." Ahn Ke knew that Ahn Qi would choose to send soone to pick up Zheng Yichen, not because he was unimportant, but because Ahn Qi lacked the aptitude for Dusk, which was why she made such decisions when it ca to Dusk-related matters.
If Zheng Yichen had called from a place other than the Dusk Cathedral, Ahn Qi would’ve gone directly.
"Then be careful on your way."
"Got it."
After ending the communication, Ahn Qi picked up a file and started to read. Zheng Yichen had been away for over half a month now, and during this ti, the Ahn family had already made many preparations regarding so matters, and Zheng Yichen’s identity was much more important than that of a Dusk rcenary.
For this, she had even prepared for a direct conflict, but the arrangents made by the Ahn family turned out to be much more ’relaxed’ than she had anticipated. Many of her preparations were in vain. Even though she lacked the so-called aptitude for Dusk, with her fifth sister, Ahn Ke’s participation and assistance, such a problem could be directly dismissed.
After dismissing this problem, there were very few within the Ahn family who could compete with her. First, those siblings and family mbers such as uncles who lacked aptitude for Dusk were filtered out; they weren’t even qualified to know about the matter.
So, although they ca to know about the matter through so special ans, had weak competitive strengths. Ahn Qi did not need to suppress them specifically; the most competitive ones were those within the family who had the aptitude for Dusk. However, there were too few with that aptitude.
Ahn Ke stood by her side, and the others were either too old to get involved or too young and naive.
More importantly, this matter was not one that the Ahn family alone could decide. They also needed to take into account Zheng Yichen’s opinion. If Zheng Yichen had no other thoughts or found it too troubleso and didn’t want a change of personnel, then none of her competitors would stand a chance.
In the past few days, her competitors within the Ahn family hadn’t ceased to contact her. Even one not-so-smart competitor tried to bypass her and directly contact Zheng Yichen’s ’family’, only to find that Zheng Yichen’s family was unreachable, and that competitor was imdiately out of the ga.
The other party had clearly not grasped the situation; they were not dealing with a re Dusk rcenary, but a Proxy Agent. Looking for leverage through the Proxy Agent’s family? Did they think the Proxy Agent was an easy target? Or did they think this particular Proxy Agent was easy to bully? What’s more, Zheng Yichen’s family ca later.
Family mbers such as parents simply did not exist.
About this matter, Ahn Qi even felt that there must be a spy from her strong competitors within her own family. Otherwise, how could the other party do such a thing?
It had saved her a lot of trouble.
The loosening of restrictions by the family made Ahn Qi speculate on so of the reasons. The value of a Proxy Agent was much higher than that of a Dusk rcenary. Dusk rcenaries might not necessarily have high aptitudes or potential for growth, but Proxy Agents definitely do. However, Proxy Agents, unlike Dusk rcenaries, are considered official staff.
As official employees, they must heed the commands from Dusk above all else. Proxy Agents are worth the investnt, but not to the extent of betting the entire family’s fortunes on them.
Moreover, the competitors all belong to the Ahn family; no matter who wins, the benefits stay within the family. It’s just that the winner would undoubtedly receive even greater support from the Ahn family itself. That’s why those in the Ahn family who knew about the matter still thought about trying to compete, even under the premise of Ahn Qi having an advantage, willing to risk dangers.
"But... I’ve already won," Ahn Qi said with a light laugh. Her previously scorned fifth sister, Ahn Ke, was now on her side, and her relationship with her closest fourth sister was also supportive.
Especially Ahn Ke’s support, which was probably due to their interests now being more closely aligned, made her now think that her previous rejection of Ahn Ke had been due to too much prejudice, without having understood her fifth sister properly.
Putting down the file in her hand, Ahn Qi waited for news from Zheng Yichen; she was eager to know what Zheng Yichen, who had been away for half a month, had brought back. As for the ti used up by the work brought by Dusk, she wished it to be even shorter; waiting too long could lead to overthinking.
If Zheng Yichen remained silent for several months, it would be hard for anyone not to wonder if sothing had happened to him.
"Is it you?" Seeing Ahn Ke driving up, Zheng Yichen was puzzled that it wasn’t Ahn Qi who ca, but he still went ahead and began moving so items into the truck Ahn Ke had driven up.
The truck was not empty; there were two tal containers inside, emitting cold and showing safety indicator lights. A dium-sized black dog followed at Ahn Ke’s feet.
Zheng Yichen asked, "What’s this?"
"My bodyguard," Ahn Ke glanced at the two tal containers, large enough to fit a person, and casually explained, "and this dog as well."
