121: Chapter 121 Special Advisor to the Special Affairs Group

Lin Mo pondered for a moment and decided to disclose his experience of Transmigration through the Wasteland Secret Realm boundary wall.

"That is how it happened. At the time, we were ambushed by blue tentacles, and in our panic, we accidentally stumbled inside."

"Those electronic components were also found in the ruins of an ancient battlefield around the time we Transmigrated through the boundary wall."

Chief Ye listened quietly, his expression shifting from initial surprise to shock.

"As expected, the speculations of our Seniors were correct..."

He murmured with emotion, a flash of realization crossing his eyes.

The high-level officials and research community of the Dragon Kingdom had long speculated that the Secret Realms that suddenly appeared in the world might not exist in isolation.

They seemed more like complete worlds isolated by some kind of power, but no concrete evidence had ever been found.

Lin Mo's Transmigration through the boundary wall was precisely the key to unraveling all these mysteries.

After a long while, Chief Ye recovered from his shock, his gaze becoming incomparably solemn as he stared fixedly at Lin Mo:

"Young friend Lin Mo, would you be willing to join our Special Operations Group? The news you brought is simply too important to us."

He paused, his tone carrying an unquestionable gravity: "Or rather, as it stands, you may be the only one with the ability to Transmigrate through the boundary wall, so, Lin Mo, the Dragon Kingdom needs you."

The air in the conference room stagnated.

Lin Mo remained silent.

Joining the Special Operations Group meant getting involved in a deeper vortex and bearing heavier responsibilities.

However, at the same time, it would also allow access to more secrets of the Secret Realms and gain a larger knowledge base.

For him, it was indeed a good choice.

It was just that it might also impose some restrictions on him.

A moment later, he raised his head, met Chief Ye's gaze, and nodded slowly: "Very well, I will join."

There was no excessive hesitation, nor any haggling.

Lin Mo also harbored curiosity about the Secret Realm and wanted to understand why those mysterious spaces existed.

A light instantly burst forth in Chief Ye's eyes, and his tense shoulders relaxed slightly.

He extended his hand, his voice filled with undisguised gratification: "Haha, I welcome you to join the Special Operations Group on behalf of the organization. However, considering you are still enrolled in the academy, I can only offer you the position of Special Consultant for now, with a security clearance... of S-Rank."

"Special Consultant, S-Rank clearance?" Lin Mo was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat surprised.

Logically speaking, he was only at the Third Rank of cultivation.

In the Special Operations Group where experts were as numerous as clouds, even a cleaning lady was stronger than him, yet he was given the status of an S-Rank Special Consultant right off the bat.

This treatment was far beyond his expectations; it was practically elevating him to an extremely high position.

Chief Ye seemed to see through his doubts and explained with a chuckle: "Consultant Lin, there is no need to belittle yourself. We have already thoroughly investigated your background."

Lin Mo listened. Had his talent finally been discovered by others?

"Helping others modify mutated Martial Souls, creating unique Cultivation Methods, precisely planning Soul Skill routes... these abilities are far superior to those Great Masters who only have empty reputations."

Chief Ye said, his eyes shining with full approval: "And the mission to explore the ruins a few days ago, it was thanks to your intervention; otherwise, our Special Operations Group would have suffered heavy losses."

As expected... Lin Mo didn't feel too surprised. As for the things he had done, as long as someone with the right clearance investigated carefully, they would always be able to find clues.

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore." Chief Ye changed the subject, "Have you thought about which department you want to join? Officer Luo Yu, who brought you here, is the Section Chief of the Third Section. If you are interested, you can be attached to his department first."

Lin Mo hurriedly waved his hand: "No, I would rather be attached to the Ninth Section. I have some acquaintance with Section Chief Gu of the Ninth Section."

Upon hearing this, Chief Ye's face showed a strange expression, as if he hadn't expected him to choose the Ninth Section, but he soon smiled: "Haha, alright, since you have your own ideas, then we will attach you to the Ninth Section with the position of Deputy Section Chief, so it will be more convenient for you to act."

"Understood, I will follow Chief Ye's arrangements." Lin Mo was indifferent.

Chief Ye pondered for a moment and continued: "By the way, I and a few other high-level officials intend to organize an operation to Transmigrate through the boundary wall. Do you have any suggestions?"

"I have no problem with that, but please try to schedule it after the Eastern District University Tournament."

"Alright, then it will be arranged after the Eastern District University Tournament. I will send someone to notify you then."

When they came out of the base, it was already evening.

Lin Mo arranged to meet Pei Luohan at an elegantly decorated restaurant in the city.

Outside the window, the city lights were just coming on, reflecting a softness onto Pei Luohan's profile.

She sipped her red wine, looked at Lin Mo, and said with a hint of emotion: "I really didn't expect that we would become colleagues so soon."

Lin Mo smiled and said: "Fate is indeed something unpredictable."

"By the way," Pei Luohan cut a piece of steak and suddenly spoke. "Your team, the Eastern Bully, right? It has quite a reputation in the academy recently. Have you considered enrolling them into the peripheral establishment of the Special Operations Group? This way, it will be more convenient for you to carry out missions."

Lin Mo looked up: "Peripheral establishment? What does that entail?"

"It means you get priority in accepting missions issued by the Special Operations Group and can obtain more resources. Once you graduate, you will be considered official personnel." Pei Luohan explained. "You could say it's building up seniority in advance."

"Hmm, that sounds like a good idea."

Su Xiaoxiao and Mu Liuli also wished to join the official system after graduation. Why not take this opportunity to bring them in directly so they won't have to take exams in the future?

Lin Mo thought for a moment and nodded: "That works. I'll talk to them when I get back."

The people in the team were growing rapidly, and more experience and resources were always good.

The two ate and chatted, from missions to the academy, from Soul Skills to Secret Realms, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious.

Outside the window, the night grew darker, and soothing music flowed in the restaurant, diluting much of the tension and seriousness of the day.

Pei Luohan rested her chin on her hand, her gaze landing on Lin Mo's face. Perhaps it was the effect of the wine, but her fair cheeks flushed with a faint rosy hue, and her eyes were softer than usual.

"Lin Mo, I've found that since I met you, many things have been developing in a good direction." She said softly, her tone filled with a trace of sincere emotion.

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow and teased: "Oh? Does that mean I have a lucky Physique?"

"Yes, you are my lucky star." Pei Luohan nodded seriously, a glint in her eyes.

"If it weren't for the two Soul Skills you helped me Awaken, I wouldn't have been able to successfully complete the Wasteland Secret Realm mission, and naturally, I wouldn't have been able to speak with results and get rid of my Family's arrangements."

Upon hearing this, Lin Mo understood a bit more. He didn't know much about the Pei Family, only that it was a powerful Family in the capital. Children in such Families were often unable to control their own fates, and many things were not up to them to decide.

"Being able to strive for the life you want with your own abilities is a good thing." Lin Mo smiled and raised his teacup, "Then I wish you all the best in the future, and that you will never have to be arranged again."

Pei Luohan smiled and clinked her glass with his, the mellow aroma of red wine permeating the air. "I hope your words come true."

Then she checked the time and found it was already past 9 PM. "It's so late, why don't you not go back to the academy?"

"Hmm, then I won't go back..."
