Once it came to his salary and spirit stones, Ren Suo started to take it a little more seriously.

Of course, he couldn't just write an article saying that he discovered the Snow Woman, Crow Tengu, and Zashiki-warashi. Instead, he had to look for some news about Fanying to see if he could make up a story and write a paper about it.

The risk of doing so was low, and Ren Suo had seen many such papers on the intranet a long time ago - someone even mentioned in a paper that he had discovered Zeus because he had found a bull that could sexually assault beautiful girls.

Most of these papers are rarely read, but if you hit the mark, it can be a lot of money. Of course, for these purely speculative papers, there is naturally not much direct evidence - if there is evidence, just start a discussion or even upload the information.

However, this kind of paper is undoubtedly like looking for a needle in a haystack, and it requires citing classics to support its own theories and to increase the word count. Ordinary researchers, unless there are paper requirements or encounter some indirect evidence, are generally too lazy to write it, after all, it is a waste of time with low return rate.

Ren Suo searched using keywords and found out that there were no papers on the intranet about Fanying's special monster, so he started working on it with peace of mind.

It was only then that he discovered that Fanying’s setting of the realm of practitioners was very similar to that of Xuan Guo, but also a little different - they were called Onmyoji.

In Fanying, cyclones are believed to be the condensation of yin and yang energies, and are divided into levels using "clouds", such as One Cloud Onmyoji and Two Cloud Onmyoji. Combined with the hit anime of the season, the new profession of Onmyoji quickly entered thousands of households in Fanying.

By the way, the name of the Federation's extraordinary people is also very distinctive, but because it is in English, unlike Fanying, which uses Chinese characters, the official translation is directly translated into "Extraordinary People". As for the level division, it is abcdef - they first preset six levels, and add more later if they are not enough.

Originally, Ren Suo was planning to use the advanced search function on the intranet to find some secret information about Fanying to support his thesis. Not all intranet researchers were good at writing papers. Some researchers wanted to write a paper that could be accepted by the government, so they naturally had to find a lot of data. The advanced search function on the intranet was naturally their best choice.

But an advanced search would take anywhere from one day to five or six days, and if the target was a country's secrets, there would be so much information that it would take a long time for Ren Suoguang to read it all, so he decided to just find some Fanying news and make up something.

"It's obvious..."

"The same goes for..."

"It is obvious..."

While writing his paper, Ren Suo naturally sent his avatar to buy midnight snacks. After instructing him on what to buy, he naturally added, "If you meet someone you know, stop and smile at him, then get out of his sight as quickly as you can."

Although Ren Suo didn't think that his clone would run into someone he knew in the middle of the night, it was better to be cautious.

The clone nodded, put on his clothes, took the money and left, while Ren Suo turned off the lights and worked on his paper all night.

The clone walked very fast, almost like a race walk, and soon he left the Tianlian College area and went to the late-night snack street by the Lian River to buy barbecue.

"Brother Yu, a dozen lamb skewers, a dozen beef skewers, two eggplants, and a dozen chicken kidneys!"

"Okay!"

Opposite to Fat Brother's BBQ is a BBQ stall run by a young man with his sleeves rolled up. He casually picked up a skewer of meat and put it on the grill, and then the charcoal fire began to sizzle. The grilled meat was so beautiful that the diners shouted:

“Awesome!”

“666!”

"My son-in-law is so skilled, Lao Wei has found a treasure this time!"

The girl in charge of transporting the food blushed and snorted, and put a dozen beers over: "Watch your words, I'm not yet an adult!"

“Oh, so when you grow up you have to get married and go to college?” the diners immediately asked back.

"Hmph!" The girl ignored them and turned to greet other guests.

The young man was grilling skewers with a lollipop in his mouth and a smile on his face, but his eyes were always following the quick, youthful and beautiful girl. He accidentally saw the customers eating the Fat Brother BBQ opposite.

Hmm? That person looks familiar...

As if noticing his gaze, the man opposite holding a pile of barbecue takeout turned his head and looked at him with a smile.

In the mist of fire, the smile looked so weird and funny.

The young man dropped the lollipop in his mouth. He quickly wiped his hands and walked over: "Ren——"

Then, as soon as he moved, the man opposite him also moved, and almost ran away from the snack street. But as he ran, he still smiled at the young man, which made the young man shudder.

"Don't run! Why are you still running!"

In a flash, before the young man even walked out, the man left the late-night snack street, as if he was afraid that he would chop people.

"What's wrong with Brother Yu?" the girl came over and asked.

The young man stopped, groaned, shook his head and turned back: "It's nothing, I just saw someone who looked like my friend."

"Is he Yu's friend?" the girl asked. "Is he also in the catering business?"

The young man laughed and said, "No, he is a veterinarian."

On the other side, Ren Suo saw his clone coming home, nodded, and asked him to do the cleaning and laundry - since he had the "Struggle Warrior (Disabled)", Ren Suo no longer did the cleaning himself.

Although it is possible to hire a part-time worker to clean, Ren Suo's secrets are not too many, and now that he has the ability to clone himself once a day, it is almost equivalent to a robot that can only exist for two hours. Naturally, it would be a waste of time to use it.

Upon receiving the next order, the clone nodded slightly and calmly began to work.

——————

The next day, Ren Suo received a call from Li Dan and went over to give him sleep therapy.

However, after arriving at the Countermeasures Bureau, Li Dan told him that Deputy Director Yu wanted to see him about something.

"Why didn't he just call me directly if he had something to ask me?" Ren Suoqi asked.

Li Dan shrugged, indicating that he didn't know either.

After the two of them arrived at Yu Kuangtu's office, Yu Kuangtu motioned for Li Dan to leave first, asked Ren Suo to sit down, and asked softly, "How was your rest last night?"

Ren Suo: “Hmm?… Not bad.”

"I heard that you went out to buy midnight snacks these past few nights?"

"Yes!" Ren Suo nodded quickly. Although he didn't go there in person now, he would take photos of the midnight snacks every day.

At this time, Yu Kuangtu sighed: "It's you... That's good. You didn't tell anyone else, right?"

"What do you mean by telling others?" Ren Suo looked confused. "What are you talking about?"

However, Yu Kuangtu's eyes lit up at this time: "Yes, you didn't see anything, that's right! Comrade Ren, your attitude is very correct!"

Yu Kuangtu tapped the glass plate on the desk with his index finger and said, "Just don't tell anyone. After all, I'm the deputy director of the Countermeasures Bureau. If someone finds out... I don't mind, but I told her before that I'm just an ordinary catering worker."

"Alas... I got off work in the early morning a month ago, and when I went out for a midnight snack, I saw her setting up a stall by herself. She was in a mess, and the food she baked was not tasty, so I went over to help her out because I was in a playful mood. I didn't expect that I would be helping her until now..."

Yu Kuangtu rubbed his forehead. "Her father had a stroke due to drinking. The family had no other source of income, so she had to take his place. Barbecue looks simple but is difficult to make. And she is a student who just finished the college entrance examination and doesn't know anything... I happened to see her on her first day of setting up the stall. She only sets up the stall three times a week, but I didn't expect to run into you."

Yu Kuangtu seemed to have been holding it in for a long time, so he spoke his secret without hesitation in front of Ren Suo, who knew the secret. Ren Suo almost understood it by now - Yu Kuangtu seemed to have mistakenly thought that he saw something, so he asked Li Dan to call him over and then test him.

Ren Suo showed the attitude of a "secret keeper", so Yu Kuangtu explained the whole story to Ren Suo in a nagging manner.

The general idea seemed to be that he met a girl who was setting up a barbecue stall and accidentally flirted with her, or was flirted with by her, so he concealed his identity and set up the stall with her at night, but was seen by Ren Suo's clone last night.

"You don't want to reveal your identity? But can't you just give me the money?" Ren Suo couldn't help but ask.

"I also mentioned that I had some savings and could borrow money." Yu Kuangtu scratched his head, "But her family didn't actually lack a large amount of money, but they had lost their source of livelihood. I helped her set up a stall for a few days, and not only did I make enough money to support her and her father, I even had enough money to pay my salary, so she refused to borrow money from me."

Ren Suo: "Oh? How much is your hourly wage?"

"It's similar to the Countermeasures Bureau."

"…You are good at cooking?"

"I was the chef in the barbecue team building organized by the Countermeasures Bureau."

Ren Suo glanced at him and said, "But what's the point of hiding your identity? You're not some billionaire from a noble family. Even though you're the deputy director, you're just working for the government. Why, do you think this game of hiding your identity is fun?"

Yu Kuangtu was silent for a moment and shook his head: "No, I just haven't...thought about it yet."

Ren Suo: "What haven't you thought of yet?"

Yu Kuangtu knocked on the glass again, and suddenly changed the subject: "We are in the Countermeasures Bureau, and we are doing dangerous work on the front line. Although you may not have noticed, the frequency of monsters and demons appearing has gradually increased in recent days, and casualties have also begun to appear in the countermeasures team."

"It's not just Lianjiang, Xuanguo, it's the same all over the world."

Yu Kuangtu leaned back in his boss chair, sighed and said, "I'm not from a military background. I'm just one of the first awakeners to be discovered. I was really just a cook before, but my family has been clean for three generations. My grandfather won a military award, and my father is a skilled worker, so I was able to get to this position..."

"I'm already very strong." Yu Kuangtu lowered his eyelids: "But I know I'm not strong enough. If the Fairy Palace, the World Tree, or other messy things appear for the purpose of destruction, then we will have to fight to the death."

"Fighting extraordinary creatures that can resist thermal weapons in urban terrain is the mission of the Countermeasures Bureau."

"The demons and monsters are still very weak now, but they are inexhaustible. If one day, a monster that the monks cannot resist appears in Lianjiang..." Yu Kuangtu said lightly:

"I will die with my other comrades."

Ren Suo understood, and asked while drinking water: "So you are afraid of leaving her a widow?"

"Of course not." Yu Kuangtu said, "I'm just judging whether she is worthy of me."

Phew!

Yu Kuangtu's expression remained unchanged, he took out a tissue and wiped his face. Ren Suo waved his hands and said, "I'm sorry, this is the first time I hear a man say this, I'm really a little surprised..."

"Do you think I will say it's okay?" Yu Kuangtu raised his eyebrows: "No, I will deduct your salary."

"Ah, talk to Qiao Muyi about what supper we had last night..."

"I was joking," Yu Kuangtu said, "but I'm telling the truth."

He cleared his throat and said, "'For better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness or in health, in joy or sorrow, you will love her without reservation and be faithful to her forever'."

Ren Suo blinked: "Isn't this the wedding vow? Are you...?"

"Yes, I believe this, and my grandparents and parents have set a great example for me."

Yu Kuangtu said, "As a member of the Countermeasures Bureau, I am very busy with work and could die in battle. If she becomes my partner, then she will definitely be under more pressure than me. I need to judge whether she can accept this pressure in her heart."

Ren Suo complained: "Wouldn't it be better for you to make a better judgment if you just date her directly? If it's not suitable, you can break up immediately."

"I don't want to have another unforgettable passer-by in my life," Yu Kuangtu smiled, "I really like the word 'faithful to one person'."

Ren Suo: "What if they don't like you?"

"Then I can work with peace of mind and practice hard." Yu Kuangtu said lightly, revealing a gentlemanly demeanor.

Ren Suo made a comment: "...a pure virgin."

Yu Kuangtu glared at him, "You speak as if... you are not?"

"No." Ren Suo nodded: "I am not innocent."

Yu Kuangtu was speechless, and said slowly: "I will be practicing in seclusion starting this month to strive for the third level. I originally wanted to hand over all the work to Li Dan, and let Li Dan's paper review work be handed over to other people..."

"But you seem to be very familiar with Li Dan, right?" Yu Kuangtu said, "Ask Li Dan. If Li Dan is willing, he can continue to serve as the paper reviewer."

This could be considered a benefit - Li Dan, who was familiar with Ren Suo, would continue to hold the position of paper reviewer in the Strategy Bureau, and the papers Ren Suo wrote for the Strategy Bureau would basically receive the highest level of bonuses and points.

Ren Suo nodded and asked, "You want to reach the third level?"

"Yeah." Yu Kuangtu rubbed his temples, "I feel like I've hit a wall. It's time to put down my work and concentrate on practicing for a while."

"Are you really not asking for leave to pick up girls?"

"Go, go, go."

At this time, the bond system sounded.

Ren Suo's heart moved, and he realized that Yu Kuangtu should have a good relationship with him - at least it was recognized by the bond system.

"Wait." Ren Suo raised his hands and asked with a smile, "You didn't sleep much last night, did you?"

Yu Kuangtu looked at him suspiciously: "Yes."

"Then, do you want to try my craft?" Ren Suo drew a graceful trajectory with his ten fingers on both hands: "Let you sleep less, rest faster, and master the skills. I guarantee you will be fascinated by it. Five-star praise."
