I was reborn after playing a good hand badly
Chapter 40 Willing to Join the Association
Dean Zhao had already obtained some of Su Mo's information before she came. She herself said that the talismans used in the secret realm this time came from the secret realm. As for whether there were any other gains besides the talismans, it was not clear.
The research institute is in urgent need of talents, especially those with talent in mental power, and President Zhao needs them very much.
This was the second time he was recruited within one day, and the one in front of him was a high-ranking official in the Psychic Association. It would be a lie to say that I wasn't tempted.
Compared to what Captain Yang said, she applied to join the Psychic Association on her own and slowly gained experience, but now she has been recruited by the director of the research institute himself, so the treatment must be different.
Ever since Su Mo set his sights on the association's secret realms, she had also made preparations to work in the association. There was no other way. Even though the association later allocated some secret realms to open to the public, there were still many that were only available to internal members.
After thinking about it, Su Mo tried
"I want to finish high school before considering it, is that okay? It's not appropriate for me to go to graduate school right now, right?"
Dean Zhao waved his hand indifferently. "You can transfer to Kyoto to study. It doesn't matter. I need you to improve your mental strength as soon as possible and assist in some experimental projects. These are not complicated, so don't worry."
Seeing that Su Mo still had a blank expression despite what he said, Dean Zhao also muttered in his heart that this little girl was quite calm.
"Haha, the benefits of the research institute are very good. Whether it is the information related to psychic energy or the resources in the secret realm, they are incomparable to other places."
Su Mo knew that what Dean Zhao said was true.
Then I thought that if I could cooperate with the association’s top management, what I wanted to do in the future would definitely be easier, right?
Su Mo, whose thoughts were distracted by the dean's words, did not respond in time. His eyes were still wandering, as if he was thinking.
Dean Zhao glanced at Xiao Wang in the back seat, sighed, and spoke again.
"Hey! Xiao Su, don't you know that it's not easy for us in Xia Country right now? The secret realm is not unique to our country, other countries also have it! Everyone is researching it, and the competition is about who can produce results faster, right?
We have all seen the test data just now, you are very talented!
Now that I, an old man, have discovered a talent, I must train you well. When you grow up, you can assist in many research projects. We can naturally surpass others by taking fewer detours.
Now that the gap has widened, no one dares to come and make comments!
You don’t want your country to lag behind others at the threshold of a new era, right?”
These words gave Su Mo enough room to back down and reminded her of the aggressiveness of the people from Country A just now.
It was Zhao Qiangguang who was anxious. In fact, Su Mo only hesitated for a few minutes.
She has figured out that she is much stronger now than in her previous life. Even if she only has a certain realm and only knows a set of ordinary swordsmanship, it is enough. If someone wants to make things difficult for her in the Psychic Association, no one can stop her from leaving.
Now that she had the idea of cooperating with Dean Zhao, it would be better to make some things clear first. After rolling her eyes, Su Mo finally spoke.
"Dean, I went to a secret place by coincidence before. I was lucky enough to get some benefits. I wonder what the association thinks of this?"
Unexpectedly, Su Mo was silent for such a long time because he was thinking about this. Dean Zhao was stunned for a moment.
This girl is really something. She is not shy when talking to herself, is not excited when getting good test results, and even took so long to consider when being invited to join the institute...
Zhao Qiangguang narrowed his eyes as he thought about it, but his words sounded very nice, "Haha, let alone the opportunities you got before entering the association, even the things that the association members get themselves belong to them. The Psychic Association is not a black and evil force, don't worry."
The Operations Department does have such a tacit understanding now, but there are no explicit regulations, and the organization is also worried that if such regulations are introduced, everyone will be more or less distracted during the mission.
Su Mo nodded. He was willing to join the Psychic Association before graduating from high school and visit the association's secret realm as soon as possible. He could accept it even if there were some restrictions.
She continued to ask, "Will the association ask me to disclose my privacy?"
After joining the association, some of her strengths could definitely not be concealed. Su Mo didn't want anyone who was interested in her to cause trouble for her. After all, it was a test for her to resist killing anyone who came to cause trouble for her.
Dean Zhao was helpless about Su Mo's excessive caution.
What could he do? He could only emphasize, "The Psychic Association is a department directly managed by the state. As long as your private affairs do not harm the state and the people, they will be protected."
"Even if the institute needs you to cooperate with some projects, they will definitely explain the content of the experiment to you, and you have to participate on a voluntary basis."
Seeing that Dean Zhao's face had darkened because of his question, Su Mo pursed his lips and said awkwardly, "That's good, that's good. I just want to understand it clearly before joining the company. If there are some mandatory requirements, I'm afraid I won't be able to accept them."
"Xiao Su, you are too cautious! How old are you? How can you think so much!?"
"Ahem, that's how it's played on TV. I'm just afraid..."
Zhao Qiguang was speechless. He raised his hand to interrupt Su Mo and said, "Watch less TV and read more books, especially those messy books. Be careful of lowering your intelligence!"
The corner of Su Mo's mouth twitched. "Ha, ha, ha, I get it."
Seeing Su Mo's instruction, Zhao Qiangguang's mood, which had been blocked by her just now, improved. At this time, he did not think too much about it. After all, although the result of 47 Hz was very good, it was not the best. There were many people in the association who had higher scores than this number.
What he valued was Su Mo's talent. He had a feeling that Su Mo's performance in mental strength must be good!
Su Mo felt relieved that he had made his point clear and thought about the issue of transferring to another school.
"Dean, I wonder if my transfer to another school can be handled properly?"
After all, she is in her third year of high school. Even though her grades improved significantly last semester, they are still not good enough in Kyoto, and schools in Kyoto may not be willing to accept her.
"Don't worry about the school, I'll take care of it. Haha, if no school will accept you, then I, an old man, will teach you myself, and you can just go and take the exam when the time comes."
Su Mo's eyes widened. He didn't expect it could be operated this way. He asked in surprise, "Really?"
Dean Zhao raised his hand and pressed, "If no school is willing to accept you, you can!"
Su Mo smiled and said, "Okay! Then I will follow the dean's arrangements."
The two sides reached a tacit understanding.
"I'm here on a business trip and will be leaving tomorrow. You can come back to Kyoto with me so that you can get familiar with the headquarters before school starts."
Su Mo agreed after only a moment's consideration. The association had plenty of secret realms waiting for her to check in one by one, and the small tower was not short of energy right now, so she could put the chance of picking up leaks aside for the time being.
"Okay, but I have to go home."
She wanted to go back and deal with Tao Jibang, hiss~~~, thinking of Tao Jibang, Su Mo narrowed her eyes.
During these months of endurance, Su Mo kept finding secret realms to practice and strengthen her strength. Now she has reached a level that she could not reach in her previous life. Even if she does not build a foundation, it is very easy for her to let Tao Jibang experience his own methods. Even if Tao Jibang can't bear it and dies, it doesn't matter. She can always find out who provided Tao Jibang with the poison behind the scenes.
But now...she has another way to go.
For a man like Tao Jibang who is full of calculations, if he knew the relationship between Su Mo and him but didn't get any benefits, he would definitely be resentful, right?
It's not bad to let him suffer mentally before he suffers physical pain. First torture the mind and then torture the body, super double, eh.
Su Mo lowered his head slightly to hide the fierceness that flashed across his eyes.
If they want to go home and clean up, Dean Zhao will certainly not stop them.
"Okay, do you need someone to accompany you?"
Su Mo shook his head. "It's very quick for me to take the high-speed train back. I'll be back soon after I pack up."
“Then you should go quickly and come back quickly, and go directly to the Yinzhou branch when you come back.
By the way, if anyone from the association comes to ask you questions in the next two days, you should answer truthfully, and the investigation of entering and leaving the institute will be more thorough. "
Su Mo nodded, but she was still a little nervous.
It was fine during the school term, but starting from this holiday she has been walking everywhere on her own, and she has a small living space, which is a bit hard to explain.
At this moment, a staff member hurried over and stood beside the car, looking like he had something to report.
Dean Zhao did not shy away from Su Mo. He looked at the staff member and asked, "What's the matter? Tell me."
"Dean, Zhao Rongze has been brought out. He was slightly injured and sent to the branch hospital."
Dean Zhao nodded. "Okay, I understand. How are the other team members? How is the citizen of Country A?"
"The team members are all fine, the most serious one is not in danger of life, and they were all sent to the hospital together.
As for Mr. Maha, he was not found.
The A country embassy insisted that Maha's final location was here, and said that they would ask their country to send someone to look for him. "
Dean Zhao twitched his lips and snorted.
"Have you reported this to Minister Fang? The entrance to this secret place must be well guarded. If they dare to secretly send people into our country, we must not show any mercy."
The staff member nodded, "Minister Fang also meant this."
In the subsequent report, Su Mo learned what happened to the corpse she saw in the secret realm.
It turned out that the second-level squirrelmon went crazy because its cub was stolen. The person who stole the cub was discovered by the squirrelmon and chased after him. He refused to leave the cub behind even when he ran away.
Later, he was fortunately met by a rescue team. There were several other civilians with the team at that time. The man, probably thinking that the rescue team would not ignore him, actually dropped the cub he had been carrying all the way to death.
Not only was the squirrel beast that had been chasing that man going crazy, but even the rescue team and several other people were also confused.
Before anyone could react, Squirrelmon decisively avenged his cubs.
"We contacted the man's relatives, but they were unwilling to come and handle the funeral. Captain Yang did not ask anyone to continue urging his relatives to come, and just postponed the matter."
Dean Zhao had just watched the video of this incident which almost resulted in the death of an entire team of people. He had already gotten angry and now was just waiting to hear about the follow-up measures.
"Just follow your procedures. I'll go to the hospital."
The staff member responded and left. Although Dean Zhao was in charge of the research institute, since he was present, it was necessary to report these things to him, but if he was not present, it would not be necessary.
Su Mo raised his eyebrows. Zhao Qiangguang, Zhao Rongze..., huh...?
"The guy in the hospital is my nephew. He followed me to Yinzhou and ended up running into this. Ugh..."
Su Mo laughed dryly. She didn't know the whole story, so it would be better for her not to make any irresponsible remarks.
"Okay then, let's go now and take you to the station first."
Su Mo had no objection.
On the way to the high-speed rail station, President Zhao briefly introduced some of the situations to Su Mo.
Although Dean Zhao is a first-level awakener, his mental progress is limited due to his age. He has two students around him who are both leading independent teams to work on their projects.
In addition to him and several professors who are specialized in researching materials, the institute also has research groups on traditional Chinese medicine, Taoism, psychic analysis, ancient books, mental power-based techniques, etc. There are even more projects such as weapons and equipment.
Liu Zheng, one of Dean Zhao's disciples, is actually doing research on the breeding and domestication of monsters. Su Mo nodded secretly. If this project is done well, it will be able to provide spiritual energy food in a long-term and stable manner while also cultivating combat pets.
The high-speed rail station was soon reached. Su Mo exchanged numbers with Dean Zhao and the driver Li Qin. When she came back after finishing her business, she could just contact Li Qin to pick her up.
Su Mo left alone.
As soon as she got off the train and walked into the high-speed railway station, Ai Li, who was following her in the train, received a call.
"Dean, all of Su Mo's information has been sent over. Well, apart from his whereabouts over the past month, there is nothing suspicious."
Zhao Qiangguang looked through the information he received on the tablet. It was about Su Mo's life from childhood to adulthood, including the information about her biological father. But Su Mo herself obviously didn't know her own life experience, so he didn't care about it and asked casually, "What happened to her whereabouts?"
Ai Li hesitated and said, "Well..., she seems to be consciously avoiding surveillance. She rarely takes public transportation and there is no record of her staying in hotels when she is out of town. It is difficult to grasp her basic itinerary."
"It's your problem that I can't find it."
Ai Li said embarrassedly, "I will continue to investigate, and I suspect that her unusual behavior is because she is looking for a secret place.
She had used a powerful talisman in the secret realm this time. After coming out, she sold five talismans of another kind to Captain Yang and his men at the price of 300,000 each. The talisman played a big role in Rong Ze's survival this time.
It's a pity that the explosion talisman caused too much damage and the monster's body was blown to pieces."
Zhao Qiangguang looked out the window. "She is very talented. She must have gained a lot of benefits in the secret realm before. It is not surprising that she wants to continue looking for secret realms."
Ai Li: "Dean, could it be that she agreed to join the association in order to get into the secret realm?"
He didn't reply immediately, so Ai Li continued, "Dean, Su Mo's background is clean in her profile, but she's still young and studying, and she was very calm when she traded over a million dollars. Although I haven't found any actual evidence, there may be someone behind her. Do you really want to make an exception and admit her into the institute?"
After a moment, a faint voice came, "Do you think she has any background that has not been checked?"
Zhao Qiangguang looked at the few pages of information on the tablet. Su Mo was truly a high school girl who couldn't be more ordinary.
Ai Li choked, "Maybe during this holiday she..."
Zhao Qiangguang wanted to use Su Mo, and after investigation, he found that there was indeed no problem. He interrupted Ai Li's speculative remarks.
"Alright, all of Su Mo's information has been upgraded to level one. You can continue investigating her, but you can't let her find out. This little girl has strong mental strength, so be careful."
Zhao Qiangguang had to remind him that from the questions Su Mo asked just now, it was obvious that he was very wary. He didn't want Su Mo to be disgusted with the association because of the uncertain results of the investigation.
It was originally a special recruitment for the research institute, and Dean Zhao had made the decision, so Ai Li couldn't say much.
"Yes, I understand."
