Atlas of Heaven and Man

On the way back to Yangzhi, Chen Chuan sat in the car, looking at the scenery outside, recalling the way he handled things earlier.

It was the first time he had encountered a strange tale he had never heard of, but fortunately, he managed to resolve it successfully.

However, if it hadn't been for that accidental death, it might have been much more troublesome to deal with, and perhaps a few more people would have died in the process.

This was already the best outcome possible.

But could it have been done better?

He pondered for a moment. Currently, it seems that with things like strange tales, one can only guide them according to the circumstances and choose the appropriate method. It seems that having power alone is useless, but that may also be because the power is not great enough. If the power is strong enough, there are more methods to choose from, and the fault tolerance rate is undoubtedly higher.

However, he also noticed that there seemed to be more strange tales than before. This was not only because he had entered this circle, because it could be seen from the commission requests that the number of strange tales was indeed increasing year by year. What was the reason for this?

He couldn't help but think of what Du Ma had said, "The echo of the world is deepening." Could there be some connection with this?

While he was thinking, the car suddenly braked sharply. Feeling the change in force, before the seat belt could restrain him, he reached out and pressed on the front seat, stepping forward with his foot. At the same time, the layers of the alien organization transmitted and dissipated the force, so that he did not lurch forward.

The driver in the front seat cursed. It turned out that several two-wheeled motorcycles had rushed out of the canyon at high speed, almost scraping past the car. They had almost crashed into them just now.

After those two-wheeled motorcycles passed, they seemed to have realized that they were not from Jia County and that no one was leading them, so they actually circled back and followed the car on both sides. They were very bold, occasionally coming up to sway in front of the car.

The driver asked, "Mr. Chen? How should we handle this?"

Chen Chuan glanced at them. Although these motorcycles were close, they were mostly showing off their driving skills. He said, "Ignore those who come close. Just drive as you normally would. If someone blocks the way, do what you have to do."

The driver's spirits lifted. He said, "With those words from you, Mr. Chen, I know what to do." He was not without a background either. The company bosses all had origins, so why should he be afraid of these hicks?

He first honked the horn, stepped on the accelerator, and shifted gears to accelerate. The car's speed suddenly increased. The two motorcycles blocking the way looked at him suddenly rushing forward from the rearview mirror and were also startled. They hurriedly made way to both sides, feeling that they had almost been scraped. They were immediately scared into a cold sweat. Because it was a downhill road, the car was very fast and sped away.

The driver looked back and saw that those motorcycles were still following behind. He said with some regret, "It's a pity this isn't Young Master Sun's Hurricane sports car, otherwise, I guarantee we'd leave them in the dust in a moment."

Chen Chuan felt in his heart that it was no wonder the company had assigned this driver to him this time instead of the seemingly more cautious Xiao Wei. This one was bolder and more suitable for dealing with this kind of situation.

After a while, they exited the Pingkong Gorge, and the road became a winding mountain road. The driver was even more comfortable on the turns, not allowing the motorcycles behind to overtake them.

After they left Jia County and passed the highway checkpoint, those cars no longer chased after them. Obviously, they also knew that they would not be able to gain anything outside.

More than an hour later, Chen Chuan returned to Yangzhi. He first went back to the commission company to explain the situation before and after the commission and drafted a form for filing.

Ren Shu was very happy because this commission from the County Government Affairs Office was recommended by the Government Affairs Department. Now that it had been successfully completed, the company's reputation would undoubtedly be established. In the future, if other government departments needed to deal with similar things, they would definitely think of them first. Their previous strategy was correct.

It was just a pity that very few people could accept strange tale commissions. Even ordinary people were difficult to find, let alone experts like Chen Chuan. This also led to the inability to expand the business. Now, they could only slowly accumulate evaluations. Fortunately, they did not have to worry about funding. They should first try to become the top in this field.

After Chen Chuan finished dealing with the affairs in the company, he had Xiao Wei drive him back to school.

This trip to Jia County had taken several days, and before he knew it, it was already March.

Although the few days in Jia County had delayed some training, for him at present, it didn't matter if he missed a few days of daily skill training. The key was to pursue the strengthening of the alien organization, and the gains of these few days were enough to make up for these shortcomings, and there was still a lot of leeway.

In general, the benefits gained were greater.

After returning to school, he called Cheng Zi as usual and explained in detail how he had handled things. The teacher and student discussed it again before ending the call, and then he devoted himself to his daily training.

It was just that the effect of the medicine was getting lower and lower. Fortunately, he had the bone bead he had obtained from Qisai last time to replace these, and the next two months would be enough to maintain it.

A few days passed in a flash, and soon it was the semi-monthly rest day.

Chen Chuan remembered the day he was meeting with Gao Ming, so he didn't go anywhere this time and just waited in the dormitory. When it was almost noon, the phone rang. He answered the phone, and Gao Ming's voice came from inside: "Cousin, I'm here."

Chen Chuan put down the phone, left the dormitory, and walked to the school gate. He saw Gao Ming leaning against the car door in the square outside the gate. He walked over and asked, "Didn't go home first?"

Gao Ming said with a smile: "Your matter, cousin, is the most important thing here for me." He gestured with his hand, "Let's talk in the car."

Chen Chuan opened the car door, got in, and closed the door behind him. Gao Ming took a file bag from his bag and handed it to him, "The information is all here, cousin. You can take it back and read it slowly. I'll just give you a general overview of the main points."

He became more serious and said, "I've been investigating that trainee's file for a while, but after digging deeper, I found that the records about this trainee are very scarce. Apart from what I found before, there's almost nothing else. I can only slowly search from other places.

Actually, I had thought before that if I couldn't find it, it would be a good thing. It would mean that this trainee successfully went to Central City and probably holds a certain position, so his files were transferred to Central City.

Last month, I was lucky enough to have a senior colleague go to the advanced affairs office in Central City to deliver some documents. I asked him to check on this matter for me if he could, and he agreed at the time."

He smiled, "However, the situation in Central City is complicated. I just mentioned it casually and didn't have much hope, but he got results very quickly because this person is very special."

Gao Ming raised his hand, "Cousin, let me start with the good news. Fifteen years ago, this trainee successfully entered Central City after obtaining a recommendation to go there. This shows that he was successful at the beginning, and our example is viable.

After entering Central City, he first worked at the Central City Processing Bureau. Later, for some reason, possibly due to personal choice, he left and joined a company. However, halfway through, he became entangled in a lawsuit, so he left after two years.

Originally, there was nothing wrong with that, but only half a year later, an explosion occurred inside this company, killing many employees and executives. It was suspected to be related to this person, so the previous files about him were transferred away. This is also why I haven't been able to find them."

He looked at Chen Chuan and said, "Cousin, the subsequent events happened after going to Central City, but the previous example proves his success.

However, we have to consider one factor, which is that because he did those things, it may make some people more wary of people from civilian backgrounds going to Central City, so your resistance to entering Central City may be greater."

Speaking of which, he smiled again, "However, I personally think that you, cousin, are not without a chance. On the contrary, this time may be more beneficial to you."

Chen Chuan asked, "How so?"

Gao Ming's expression became more serious, and he pointed upwards with his hand, "We previously overlooked one factor, which is how the higher-ups are thinking. I've been investigating how to open up this path from the bottom up, but then I checked the upper-level policies on the Wuyi Branch in the last ten years and found that at least in recent years, they have been leaning towards civilian trainees.

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ say ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥ ⊥ book ⊥ ⊥ bar ⊥ ⊥ first ⊥ hair!

It's just that due to the obstruction of local power and influence, most of the resources are also in the hands of these people, so the effect is minimal, but if there are trainees with suitable conditions, they are more likely to be valued by the higher-ups.

How should I put it, half and half. After all, without more sources of information, we can only make such inferences, and all I can provide is this. The final decision is still up to you, cousin, but I personally think that if you don't try, you'll probably never know what the result will be."

Chen Chuan thought for a moment and said, "Thank you, Gao Ming."

Gao Ming smiled and said, "It's nothing. I want to make this deal with you, cousin."

Chen Chuan said, "Your suggestion last time was very useful. I might take the Infinite Defense Certificate exam in advance, but I still need you to help me check some things."

Gao Ming became serious and said, "Tell me, cousin."

Chen Chuan said, "Do you have paper and a pen?"

Gao Ming rummaged around and handed it to him.

Chen Chuan took it, wrote a few strokes on it, circled it, and handed it to him. Gao Ming took it and glanced at it, nodded, and said, "I understand, cousin. Wait for my news."

After Chen Chuan finished communicating with him and said goodbye, he got out of the car, went back to the dormitory to look at the information, and then took the document and went directly to Cheng Zitong's office.

When Cheng Zitong saw him coming over with a file bag in his hand, he realized something, stopped what he was doing, and asked, "Did you get that information?"

Chen Chuan nodded.

Cheng Zitong instructed, "Close the door and let me see the information." Chen Chuan turned around and closed the door, walked forward, and handed the information to him.

Cheng Zitong took it, opened it, placed it on the table, and read it carefully. Finally, he also looked at the postscript written by Gao Ming below, which was basically what the latter had said to Chen Chuan.

After reading it, he looked up at Chen Chuan.

"What do you think?"

Chen Chuan said seriously, "Teacher, all the things I've done before were to be able to go to Central City. Actually, no matter what the result on this information is, I was already planning to try to compete for that spot.

And the result expressed in this information is actually better than I expected, which further strengthens my determination, so I think I will submit my application this month and apply for the Infinite Defense Certificate."
