Chapter 53 53. I'm Just Watching
It was not as convenient to travel with a convoy as it was to act alone, and Xu Zhi did not return to the old residential area until around five in the afternoon.
Since she had been notified in advance, Shen Jinwen was already waiting outside. After getting out of the car, Xu Zhi briefly introduced Zhong Lingfan: "She is responsible for collecting rent. From now on, you two will work together. I only need to see the core information submitted to me every week."
Xu Zhi didn't want to care about anything else.
Shen Jinwen didn't know where he got the bunch of keys from, and now he took Zhong Lingfan and others to the street office to register.
Xu Zhi did not immediately become a hands-off boss, but followed until these nearly forty people were settled. When only Zhong Lingfan and Shen Jinwen were left, Xu Zhi prepared to retreat.
Before leaving, she thought for a moment and said to the two, "Once this group of people has settled down, continue to recruit new members. Don't refuse anyone. However, if anyone disrupts the peace and order of the settlement, kill them directly."
"I don't care if you cause trouble outside, but when you're here, no one is allowed to break the rules."
We are all her leeks, and no one can be missing.
"As for the rules within the settlement, you can discuss and come up with a set of regulations and show them to me."
"When there are more people, we can also set up some positions. Anyway, Zhong Lingfan, you can take care of it yourself."
Knowing that Shen Jinwen didn't like to care about these things, Xu Zhi didn't ask too much of her.
"If you think you can solve any problem, solve it yourself. If you encounter something you can't solve, come to me."
Xu Zhi gave her a lot of authority because she knew she didn't want to manage these trivial matters at all. She just needed to see the core of each week handed over to her.
As for the statement of not rejecting anyone, it means that this place is different from Zhong Lingfan's garden. It only recruits relatively "obedient" members. Even if they are some extremely vicious people, Xu Zhi doesn't mind letting them in. As long as she behaves honestly in the settlement and produces cores for her, no matter how she behaves outside the settlement, it is none of her business, Xu Zhi.
Zhong Lingfan understood Xu Zhi's meaning. Although this was contrary to her previous practices, Xu Zhi had enough power to specify the rules and ensure that anyone who dared to disrupt the order would be punished. There was nothing wrong with that.
And this will also allow more people to survive, which is consistent with Zhong Lingfan's goal.
In this way, Zhong Lingfan became the administrator of the residential area, Chen Jinwen was still the only staff member of the street office, and Xu Zhi was independent of everyone. No one knew how to address her, and the private names were varied, and there was no unified one for the time being.
After finishing these things, it was almost 9 o'clock in the evening.
Xu Zhi took Zhong Lingfan's research materials and flipped through them, gaining a deeper understanding of the old extraordinary people.
In the past, the old superhumans would always suddenly discover that they possessed some superhuman abilities one day, and there was no pattern in the awakening of these old superhumans, and their superhuman abilities were varied, some strong and some weak.
But no matter how strong it is, it will only be fixed at the strength when it awakens.
In other words, whether the old extraordinary people are powerful or not is determined at the moment they awaken.
They have no growth potential and only possess the extraordinary abilities they possess when they awaken. Almost 99% of the old extraordinary people only have one extraordinary ability.
In the past, even this alone was enough to be envied, for this was a transcendent being. However, compared with today's transcendents who could grow, his positioning seemed somewhat awkward.
The data also contains some information obtained by Zhong Lingfan from her observations of new superhumans. For example, all new superhumans seem to have their superhuman energy increasing over time. She speculates that the superhuman abilities in the body cannot increase out of thin air, but rather that everyone is unconsciously absorbing the superhuman energy around them into their bodies.
There is more information than this, but this is indeed what Xu Zhi cares about.
"It seems my guess is correct."
Xu Zhi put away the information, picked up the game console, opened the spiritual body interface, looked at the time, and directly invested 2 hours of core.
The three attributes invested are [Casting], [Initiation] and [Moth]. Chaos is very useful, and an extra core was paid to equip this spirit body with [Eye of Prying Eyes].
After everything was ready, Xu Zhi entered his spiritual body again.
The location was still the "old place". She felt that this must be some kind of tacit understanding between her and the Special Investigation Office. Less than three minutes after she opened her eyes, a man in a suit walked up to her and greeted her.
"Do you send people to guard here every day?" Xu Zhi asked the person in front of him.
"Yes, in order not to miss the opportunity to trade with you." The man answered honestly, and his attitude had changed slightly compared to last time.
It seems that they have confirmed some things, which makes them pay more attention to themselves.
"I've reserved two hours for you this time, but I'm only accepting four core transactions. Also, I already have the answer to the question you asked last time."
"This transaction will take place at the Special Investigation Office, right? I'd like to take a look around, is that okay?"
Xu Zhi asked with a smile. The other party hesitated for a moment, and then nodded after receiving a positive response from "the higher-ups." "Okay, Ms. Xu, a car will be here in five minutes to take you to the headquarters building."
It is called the headquarters, but in fact it is only the "headquarters" of this city. The headquarters of the entire Special Investigation Office is in the capital, which is very far away from here.
When the car arrived, the person sitting in it was no longer the fierce-looking woman Xu Zhi was familiar with, but a strange man in uniform. Xu Zhi raised his eyebrows slightly and asked directly, "Where is the sister I negotiated with before?"
"She's on a mission," the man explained. As if afraid Xu Zhi wouldn't understand, he added, "She's in the operations department. Things have been very chaotic out there lately for some reason, and the operations department is short on people."
After saying that, the man briefly introduced himself to Xu Zhi, telling him his name and position.
Lin Zizhen, Director of the Supervision Division of Jincheng Special Events Handling Department.
What he said was reasonable and very likely true, but Xu Zhi felt that this person was fooling her.
This guy is an old fox. There is no flaw in his expression when he answers. Unlike that sister, Xu Zhi can detect some information from her expression that cannot be concealed. Perhaps it is because of this that the special investigation department replaced people.
But it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t matter who comes to negotiate with her.
"Can you show me around your place first? I came here in a hurry before and didn't have a chance to look around."
The car stopped in front of the Special Investigation Office building, but Xu Zhi was not in a hurry to make a direct transaction.
"Okay." Lin Zizhen did not show any reluctance, and even began to introduce the various departments of the Special Investigation Office to Xu Zhi in detail.
"Broadly speaking, we are divided into the following departments: information, operations, logistics, monitoring, and supervision."
"Most members of the Operations Department are extraordinary people. The entire Operations Department is divided into many teams. The person you met before is the captain of the third team."
"Can you take me to see the extraordinary people here?" Xu Zhi made another request.
Lin Zizhen hesitated for about a second before saying, "Okay."
"But I've been really busy lately. The extraordinary people who stayed at the headquarters are either back to hand in their missions or are recovering from injuries."
Xu Zhi nodded in understanding: "It's okay, I'm just taking a look."
