Zheng Qing has a slender figure and a straight back, which gives her a graceful appearance that comes from regular exercise. Her leg injury has healed.

"Officer Zheng," Li Changzhou greeted him.

"Just call me Zheng Qing." Zheng Qing looked the three of them over.

Compared to her previous role in the game of value, Yang Qinglan, who was known for her cool and beautiful demeanor, now appears less aloof and more gentle and literary, perhaps due to the apron and the bookstore.

The usually lively Li Qianxia was now lazy and listless, looking like she had eaten her fill and wanted to sleep.

Li Changzhou's demeanor hasn't changed much, but he seems even more handsome, probably due to the lighting.

Zheng Qing cared most about Li Changzhou. The fact that a person's temperament remained unchanged in reality and in the game of values ​​speaks volumes.

Also, he's really handsome.

"What would you like to drink?" Yang Qinglan asked.

Zheng Qing sat down, glanced at the three glasses of iced water on the table, and casually replied, "Iced water."

Just as Yang Qinglan was about to get up, Li Qianxia nudged her, and she stood up as if to rouse herself: "I'll go!"

Seeing his sister go to the kitchen so familiarly, Li Changzhou knew that she must have been there more than once.

Isn't a girl afraid of encountering a pervert when she goes to a bookstore? I must follow her next time and protect her closely.

The ice water was easy to prepare, and Li Qianxia returned in less than half a minute.

Zheng Qing took the ice water, thanked her, and gulped down half a cup.

"Time is of the essence, so I won't waste any more time. Let's get straight to the point." She put down her water glass.

All three of them made a listening gesture.

Zheng Qing had organized her thoughts, and after a moment's recollection, she began to speak:

"First, regarding the cooperation issue you mentioned, the higher-ups have already given their approval."

Li Changzhou was not surprised.

Now, dark clouds loom over the city, and the world seems to be collapsing. Where does the higher authorities have the time and energy to spare manpower to deal with the struggling people in the countryside?

Even if they were forcibly co-opted, the strugglers would not accept it obediently, and it would instead cause unnecessary unrest.

At this stage, the struggling ones are not strong; for most people, the threat level is only equivalent to an ordinary person holding a handgun.

If it were just an extra handgun, it wouldn't be a big deal; most people would choose to hand it over obediently. But the strugglers didn't just have an extra handgun; they could use it as a real gun by making hand gestures like a handgun.

Different approaches have different effects on a person's mindset.

It's like driving at 120 km/h versus running at 120 km/h. The speed itself isn't a big deal, but will the mindset of the latter be the same as that of the driver?

Moreover, there is still a lot of room for improvement in the future.

Zheng Qing continued, "However, the benefits of joining the official organization are very good, so you can reconsider."

"How good is it?" Li Qianxia asked curiously.

"The government will buy new residential areas in major cities, and the families of all those struggling with official corruption will be eligible to move in. For those who don't have money, banks will provide interest-free loans, and the military will be in charge of the property management."

"Aren't you afraid of causing trouble among ordinary people by doing this?" Li Changzhou asked.

“If they are also willing to join the Special Operations Bureau and go to the front line of combat, they can also obtain the qualification for Phase II housing,” Zheng Qing said calmly.

These are extraordinary times. Joining the Special Operations Bureau is like going to the battlefield. You have to risk your life to deal with the evil human strugglers, as well as all sorts of bizarre and inhuman strugglers who are comparable to the resurrection of demons.

The Bull Demon King, the Monkey King, and the Golden-Winged Roc will all appear. There might even be a fish in the sea that eats shrimp, small fish, and big fish, evolving entirely by swallowing prey, and slowly transforming into a Kun.

“Some exceptional talents can also qualify for accommodation and even receive better treatment, but you are still students, so you probably can’t take this route.”

It likely refers to a researcher.

Animals and plants evolve, and weapons, medicines, and crops will also change accordingly.

"Besides the basic residency requirements, there are many other benefits, like the information I mentioned before. Are the three of you interested?"

Yang Qinglan looked at the two siblings with an inquiring gaze.

“I’ll listen to my brother,” Li Qianxia said.

"I like my life now," Li Changzhou said.

He also has the secret of the white "identity card". Even if it is exposed in the future, it won't matter if his sister and Yang Qinglan find out, but it will be different for the authorities.

Moreover, he wasn't a bad person, but he wasn't so good as to risk his life to save others.

"And you?" Li Changzhou asked Yang Qinglan.

He has his reasons for not joining the official ranks, and Li Qianxia will definitely be with him. Yang Qinglan is different; her instinct to "draw and repel," combined with two well-trained soldiers, will give her a higher chance of survival.

Yang Qinglan ignored him and said to Zheng Qing, "Thank you, but we prefer freedom."

"It's alright," Zheng Qing said with a smile. "The higher-ups specifically instructed that we absolutely cannot force anyone, lest a strong person emerge among you and we needlessly make enemies."

She took a sip of water and continued, "The forum will open registration soon. I'll give you an invitation code; just enter it to verify your identity and gain some privileges."

"Speaking of the forum, what's with that background music?" Li Changzhou couldn't help but ask.

Zheng Qing's expression froze, a little embarrassed, clearly also frightened by that website.

She didn't say anything about it, nor was there anything to say; she couldn't control it anyway.

“Next is the second thing,” she changed the subject, “I want to buy your weapons, any weapons will do, as long as they can be brought into the value game.”

The three of them have already discussed this matter.

"Sniper rifle, crossbow." Li Changzhou took out the sniper rifle and crossbow.

The crossbow was in Li Qianxia's backpack, but due to their "twin" instincts, the two siblings shared the backpack.

This might be the embodiment of Li Qianxia's malice of "my brother's things are mine, and what's mine is still mine."
