Xu Sheng's face was a mix of confusion and disbelief as he beca a national public servant and was taken to a secret base.
He was astonished to find that there were many players just like him, all specially recruited into the Special Review Bureau.
And all of them were players from the newbie valley!
"What is this... What's going on?"
The higher-ups said they would provide training and directly threw him into a dormitory, but fortunately, everything from bedding to toiletries was provided and of decent quality.
"Brother, you don't understand? We're all newbie valley players who've been screwed over by the Daxia Alliance... That Daxia Alliance is really the power behind the Special Review Bureau!"
The chubby guy in his dorm extended his hand, "But that's okay, although we lack freedom, at least we're safe and we get a salary... Let tell you, although we're not pioneers, we're still old-tirs, which ans living the good life isn't out of the question... My na's Tong Bei, brother, what's yours?"
"Xu Sheng..."
Xu Sheng shook his hand and sat on his own bed, subconsciously taking out his mobile phone.
Thank God, the training wasn't completely cut off from the world; the dormitory still had WIFI.
He habitually browsed through several forums and was shocked to discover that posts about "Ga Alternate World" had been deleted again. The most update n0vels are published on novel fire
Any words or spellings related to 'players' or 'transcendents' had directly beco banned.
"This is... the beginning of the censorship."
Xu Sheng was just about to check the official forum when he received a text ssage on his phone: "Training schedule and lesson plan... The first class is... Ideological and moral education?"
Suddenly, a childhood sense of fear washed over him.
...
Special Review Bureau.
Captain Xie, with two dark circles under her eyes, had been working nonstop for who knows how long.
Since the public beta, she had been doing just that.
The Image Retention Technique had recorded players that needed to be filed individually, people in reality had to be found, and quite a few had directly disappeared...
Each case, each item was extrely troubleso...
"It's estimated that the number of players in this round of public beta is around one hundred thousand..."
She sighed, putting down the form in her hand, "The range of human races and regions is diverse, Daxia People, Federation People, Japanese... It seems the allocation of player slots is based on population numbers and national strength... So our advantage cos down to the experience accumulated early on and those old players, huh?"
"Report!"
Just as Captain Xie finished organizing a docunt, a subordinate knocked on the door and ca in, looking very grave: "Captain, Yuan Tu has disappeared..."
"What?" Captain Xie's brows creased tightly.
Yuan Tu was 'Blood Hand Man Slaughter,' an individual who required intense surveillance.
"Today... Because we needed to pull in several people for monitoring many public beta players, we were short-handed, and after we couldn't contact them, we discovered there was an issue."
One team mber hung their head in sha.
"So... he had already noticed our surveillance, yet stayed his hand, waiting until the public beta drew our attention before making a break for it?"
Captain Xie's voice was icy, "This is a carefully calculated plan!"
Alas, before he manifested powers in real life, he didn't have much of a criminal record, but he was a suspected ntal case, a dangerous individual.
Even Captain Xie could do nothing but order surveillance.
"Judging by the strength he displayed when attacking our people, in our world, he already has the power of a Seventh-Grade Martial Artist..."
The reporting team mber's voice was filled with bitterness.
A Seventh-Grade Martial Artist, having achieved Body Perfection, would be imnsely strong and as agile as a cat.
In a large city, swimming in a sea of people, it was nearly impossible to find him!
"However, we checked his room and found so burnt pieces of paper. We asked experts to restore and piece them together, and combined with his internet traces, we determined he plans to flee the country! His target could be the South Ocean or Japan!"
"They sure know the right ti and place..."
Captain Xie raised an eyebrow, "Even so, we must issue an imdiate warrant for his arrest, rember to mark him as extrely dangerous..."
She watched the team mber leave and muttered, "A real-life Seventh-Grade? The only one comparable would be Lin Fan, right?"
Acquiring experience was not a simple matter.
However, if the Special Review Bureau went all out, they could promote her to Seventh, even Sixth or Fifth Grade quite easily.
But... that was impossible.
Resources needed to be distributed evenly, and there were few imdiate benefits she could claim.
"But... spreading it out too thin among all personnel... it's too weak of a boost... The advantages could easily be widened by the more experienced players..."
Captain Xie's face showed a hint of worry as she contemplated the future.
More importantly, she was well aware that the Special Review Bureau really couldn't spare much force to pursue Yuan Tu now.
"Captain Xie, the Director requests your presence!"
Just then, an internal call ca through.
"Alright, I'll be there right away."
Captain Xie picked up the docunts in hand, ready to personally report to Shen Mo.
It was hard to imagine the kind of destruction those ruthlessly brutal characters from the ga could cause in reality once they obtained power.
"Director!"
Upon entering the office, Captain Xie was astonished to find Dr. Huang and several other team captains present, and she was montarily surprised.
"Captain Xie, you're here too. Take a look at this plan!"
Shen Mo smiled and passed a docunt over, Captain Xie had to swallow all the reports she had prepared and upon opening the docunt, her expression beca serious, "Player Transcendent Crisis Response Plan, the possibility of establishing real-life guilds? We're... preparing to publicly disclose the existence of players?"
"Elsewhere, 'Ga Alternate World' hasn't gotten much pre-ga hype, mainly because the majority of the internal testers were Daxia People, so it's still possible to keep it under wraps there, but it's a bit difficult here... And the descent of transcendents is already a highly probable event, so instead of being outed by others later and ending up in a passive position, it's better if we take the initiative… We can also establish a real-life player guild to promote player registration and census..."
Shen Mo said.
"Are the higher-ups getting anxious?"
Captain Xie pointed to the ceiling, "Aren't they afraid of backlash from players? There will be significant resistance to this..."
"We can't do nothing just because the resistance is great, and acting now is better than later!"
Shen Mo sighed, "After all, with each passing day, players spend three days in the ga, and the boosts they get are beyond our prediction... It's better to stir up a little trouble now than to deal with a bunch of little superhumans in the future."
"I understand, I'll do my best."
Captain Xie took a deep breath.
...
On the distant shores across the ocean, in a subterranean conference room.
"The Da Xia Empire is already preparing to establish the Extraordinary Guild..."
A spokesperson stood up.
"How can they do this?" Another person, an elderly man with white hair yet an aura of affluence, spoke up agitatedly.
"They have a core group of players, and they recorded a lot of new player information during the public beta... With this, Daxia has the foundation to establish a guild—their first-mover advantage is too great!"
"We must cause them so trouble to give our people ti to catch up!"
