On the day before his cat cafe opened, Shen Cheng found a cat-eared girl who had fainted from hunger at his shop's entrance. From then on, his world underwent earth-shattering changes.
A ...
"Puff!" In an office at the Institute of Biological Sciences, an old man spat out a mouthful of tea after listening to the staff's report.
Seeing this, the staff member immediately took out a tissue and started wiping the tea off the table for the old man.
Wiping the corner of his mouth, the old man turned to look at the staff member in shock: "What did you say? Fifty-four superpowers?!"
This old man is one of the vice presidents of the Institute of Biological Sciences, who is specifically in charge of matters concerning people with special abilities. His name is Yu Mingjie.
"Yes... yes, Dean Yu." The staff member wiped the sweat from his forehead and handed the report to Yu Mingjie. His tone was full of disbelief: "He uses playing cards as a medium to activate his supernatural powers. Each playing card represents a supernatural power."
Yu Mingjie took the report, adjusted his glasses, and began to read it seriously.
Freezing, teleportation, burning, flying... Just one of these superpowers is enough to create a powerful psychic, but now, they are all gathered in one person.
"Is he from Luo Country?" Yu Mingjie asked.
"His real name is Finn Eller, a native of Luo Country, but he has lived in China for a long time. Although he doesn't have Chinese nationality, he has an inexplicable sense of belonging to China and always claims to be Chinese. Oh, and his Chinese name is Liu Tao."
"Is the background clean?" Yu Mingjie continued to ask. At the same time, he turned on his mobile phone and connected to the surveillance of the Institute of Biological Sciences.
After browsing through the surveillance screens, Yu Mingjie opened one of them.
In the surveillance footage, Liu Tao was standing in the corridor of the Institute of Biological Sciences, performing magic for Li Ji's daughter Li Xinyao and the two staff members guarding him.
Of course, it was just an ordinary magic trick. The two staff members were really scared and felt their scalps tingling. Li Xinyao kept wagging her tail and was amused by Liu Tao.
"He's from the Ailer family of Luo Country, but it seems he lost contact with them a long time ago. There's no blemish on his record. He himself said this was his first time using his supernatural powers to kill someone, and he wasn't lying." The staff member reported, "He was acquainted with Shen Diaoyuan before, and this time he took action because he heard those two people were planning to take Shen Diaoyuan's cat cafe."
Upon hearing this, Yu Mingjie tapped the table with his index finger from time to time, and was a little unsure for a moment.
Luoguo had such a powerful psychic, but instead of treating him like a treasure, they let him flee to China? Was Luoguo unaware that their country had such a talent, or did they have other plans?
No matter what, the appearance of such a person with special abilities in China cannot be left unattended.
"Go and ask him if he is willing to become a non-staff member of our Institute of Biological Sciences." After thinking for a moment, Yu Mingjie said.
Non-staff members naturally will not be exposed to the internal affairs of the Institute of Biological Sciences.
"Okay." The staff nodded and turned to leave.
When the office returned to peace, Yu Mingjie took another sip of tea, then leaned back in his chair with his head tilted back.
As soon as Shen Cheng started live streaming at the cat cafe, their School of Basic Biological Sciences started paying attention.
The moment Ye Xi appeared in the camera, they also guessed that the Light Spot Cat Cafe would definitely attract some small fish and shrimps scattered around China.
Therefore, they did not stop Shen Cheng's behavior and allowed Shen Cheng to go live. They also strengthened security around Guangdian Cat Cafe and set up a team led by Shao Silin to maintain the normal operation of Guangdian Cat Cafe.
Moreover, Chen Cheng's live broadcast behavior can be regarded as a preventive measure for people in advance.
Because the Huanya registration office in front of the Light Spot Cat Cafe has been completed, their Institute of Biological Sciences will soon make the existence of Huanya public.
They planned to make it public and let people accept Huanya before Shen Cheng and Liu Yingxia brought back the evidence of Hongguo's human experiments. In this way, when they made the evidence public, it would cause a greater response, making Yinglisha and even Hongguo the target of public criticism.
"Commissioner Shen, it's up to you now..." After muttering softly, Yu Mingjie slowly closed his eyes with a smile on his face: "I trust you very much. After all, there are no cowards in your Shen family..."
After the staff member left the office, he immediately found Liu Tao and asked him to come for a talk.
The first thing is the registration and jurisdiction of people with special abilities. People with special abilities in China must be registered and governed to prevent them from using their abilities to endanger social order. Liu Tao expressed his understanding and cooperated in signing the contract.
After signing the first contract, the staff member took out the second contract and handed it to Liu Tao.
"What is this?" Liu Tao was a little confused.
"A contract to become a non-staff member of the Institute of Biological Sciences," the staff member said sternly, "Mr. Eiler, what do you think?"
"Just call me Liu Tao, or Taozi. I don't like that name." Liu Tao shook his head and said, "I'm used to my freedom. Forget it."
"We won't restrict your freedom too much. As long as you agree when we need you to perform a task, it's fine. And there aren't many places where you need to do things," the staff member continued.
"Even so, I still don't like the feeling of being controlled by someone." Liu Tao still shook his head.
"We will pay you a fixed salary every month. Although the salary for a non-staff member is not much, it is enough for you to live in China."
Liu Tao was stunned for a moment, a little tempted, but still shook his head and said, "Forget it."
"As long as you contribute enough, we will grant you Chinese citizenship."
“Bang!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Liu Tao slammed the table and stood up, scaring the staff member.
Seeing Liu Tao's eyes light up, he picked up the pen and quickly signed his name on the contract. Then he looked at the staff and asked, "When can I start the task?"
Staff: “…”
After regaining consciousness, the staff member said, "We don't need you anywhere right now. Just continue to protect the cat cafe in Mio City."
"Okay!" Liu Tao nodded, looking very motivated. But then, he became frustrated again and said to the staff in an awkward tone, "Um... can you give me a month's salary in advance?"
Staff: “…”
…
On the passenger ship heading to Hong Country, Shen Cheng lay on his bed, browsing his phone.
Considering the lack of signal in the ocean, Chen Cheng downloaded several novels on his mobile phone in advance, including the one written by Ye Xi. Unfortunately, there were not many, after all, Ye Xi's update frequency was too Buddhist.
Although the stories written by Ye Xi seemed quite magical to ordinary people, Chen Cheng could see that these were all things that Ye Xi had experienced personally, and she wrote them down one by one with gorgeous words.
“Knock knock knock…”
At this time, there was a knock on the door. Shen Cheng put down his phone and realized that it was already afternoon.
When he opened the door, he saw Liu Yingxia standing at the door, who had cheered up and a smile reappeared on her face. She said to Chen Cheng, "Chen Cheng, let's go have dinner!"
