When asked by Chen Yan, Li Fengnian did not respond immediately.
Instead, he pondered the matter carefully before answering cautiously, "I do know a little about Kahn Company... You all know that I'm a doctor who defected from the Oasis of Life.
So after defecting and going through so much hardship to finally arrive here, I must investigate the forces that rule this area. Otherwise, if I rashly choose to settle here without knowing the truth, I won't be able to rest easy."
Having said that, Li Fengnian glanced at the people in the small group.
Seeing that the people in the small group agreed with what he said, he felt relieved.
He coughed dryly and continued, "The difference between large forces and top forces is huge. It's not just that the gap in strength between them is insurmountable, but it's also directly related to the atmosphere within the forces.
Compared to larger factions, the five top factions were quite closed, and internal personnel changes were generally selected within their core ruling areas. Any outside survivors who tried to enter their core ruling areas would be blocked and expelled.
But large forces were different. Almost all of them were open and tolerant of outside survivors. Among the large forces, the Kahn Company was particularly well-known for its openness and friendliness towards outsiders.
Since you asked me my opinion on this matter, I agree that you should register with Kahn Corporation immediately after arriving in its controlled area. Level 5 Awakeners will have considerable autonomy after registering with Kahn Corporation!
Chen Yan asked curiously, "A considerable degree of autonomy? How much?"
Li Fengnian pondered and said, "According to my understanding, Kahn Company has set up a separate organization to manage Awakeners who are not directly trained by the company. This organization is called the Special Warfare Department, and it only accepts Awakeners who come from outside the company.
In the area controlled by Kahn Company, awakened people above level 5 were required to register. If someone reached level 5 but did not register with the company, they would be considered an enemy of the company once they were discovered by Kahn Company.
Those who haven't reached level five will register voluntarily. If they don't register, they can make a living on their own in the company's controlled area, either through business or as mercenaries. If they register, they will still be assigned to the Special Operations Division.
However, those who had not yet reached level five were considered the lowest-ranking soldiers in the Special Operations Division. Once a level five awakener registered, they would become squad leaders. The Special Operations Division was funded by the Kahn Company and received a fixed monthly salary.
Aside from receiving company-issued missions, where they must follow the company's instructions, the Special Operations Department is quite free on weekdays. Therefore, many Awakeners below level five are also willing to register on their own initiative.
Chen Yan narrowed his eyes and said, "So, after registering, you'll have an official identity with Kahn Company, and you'll enjoy great convenience within the area Kahn Company controls. The only thing you have to do is accept a certain level of management and carry out the tasks assigned by the company. And compared to other departments within Kahn Company, the Special Operations Department's status shouldn't be that high, right?"
Li Fengnian nodded with a smile and said, "Yes, after all, they are all composed of external awakeners. Compared with the awakeners trained within the company, there is definitely a difference in the degree of trust. At the same time, the level of treatment is also two levels lower than that of the awakeners of the same level within Kahn Company.
However, the director of the Special Operations Department is at a very high level and is a core member of Kahn Company. If you can perform outstandingly in the Special Operations Department and make significant contributions to Kahn Company, then in addition to being promoted within the Special Operations Department, you can also be specially approved to become a full member of Kahn Company."
Chen Yan thought about it, and then suddenly realized a problem.
He glanced at Li Fengnian and asked, "Brother Li, after all you've said, it seems to me... that you have no intention of registering with Kahn Company? Although I don't know your awakening level, I know it's definitely higher than level five. According to Kahn Company's regulations, you must also register, right?"
Li Fengnian waved his hand and said, "That's not necessary. Official members of the five top forces who, for whatever reason, have ended up on Kahn Company's territory, whether they left voluntarily or were forced to leave, do not need to register with Kahn Company.
Of course, if they weren't registered, Kahn Company had no obligation to manage them. If a member of a top power defected and happened to be hunted down by a top power, Kahn Company wouldn't intervene and would only watch.
The advantage of this is that Kahn & Co. will not be in trouble if defectors sneak into their controlled areas. At the same time, if such people do flee to their controlled areas, it can also objectively enhance the soft power of their controlled areas.
It must be acknowledged that compared to other factions, the official members of the five top factions are all considered high-end talents. If such talents can be recruited without angering the top factions, the other factions will be happy to do so.”
Chen Yan fell into deep thought.
Li Fengnian's explanation was quite detailed, giving him a fairly clear understanding of the situation he might face after arriving at Kahn Company.
After thinking for a while, Chen Yan turned his head to look at Fei Changyuan and said, "Grandpa Fei, this time we are going to Kahn Company not to use Kahn Company as a transit station, but to stay in the occupied area of Kahn Company for a long time and will not evacuate again easily.
In this case, having a legitimate identity within Kahn Company will obviously bring us more benefits than disadvantages. Kahn Company is not a low-ranking force like Blackthorn Company. The situation we will face after staying here for a long time will definitely be more complicated.
Hiding our awakening level rashly would be difficult to guarantee against discovery. If the Kahn Company were to discover anything, we'd be in serious trouble. Personally, I think... there's no need to take such risks. The Special Operations Department has a very lax approach anyway."
Fei Changyuan agreed with Chen Yan's idea.
But he did not express his opinion directly. Instead, he patiently asked everyone in the small group about their opinions.
After receiving a comprehensive affirmative response, Fei Changyuan said to Chen Yan, "Then we'll do as you wish, but be extremely careful. Safety is our top priority. We'll take it one step at a time. If Kahn Company issues a mission, we must first assess the risk. If the risk is too great, we'd rather move to a new place to live, but we absolutely cannot take any risks!"
"Don't worry, I'm very afraid of death."
Chen Yan said with a smile.
