Start With Contracting Sprites

Chapter 361 - Future Plan



Chapter 361: Future Plan

Ten days later…

In the City of Glow, at the Union Council.

Su Hao came here to formally accept the position of inspector.

He wasn’t the only one who was waiting to be accepted into his position. There were a dozen other people in their thirties who had also arrived here.

Sun Son was one of them.

He had also completed the assessment of the intern inspector, and it was said that he was already a Heavenly King.

How cool ~!

But why didn’t the Sun Son seem happy?

Apart from Sun Son, Su Hao didn’t know anyone else. He only learned from their conversations that many of them were here for other positions, but those who could stand here today were at least at the level of commander in each department.

At the bottom of the hierarchy, there were the regular employees.

Then there was the junior leader-level.

Followed by the Intermediate leader-level, arrest officer-level.

Then there was the senior leader-level, advanced arrest officer-level.

Above that was the commander rank.

However, the titles of the various departments might not be the same.

The position of intern inspector belonged to such a level. To put it more simply, his position was only half a level lower than the president of the provincial guild of Dragon Nation, and even higher than the ordinary provincial vice president.

And the position also came with practical benefits.

There weren’t many people at the venue of the award ceremony.

Apart from the dozen or so Sprite Trainers who were here to accept their positions, only some staff members in charge of running errands and a few big bosses of the Union had arrived from different countries.

The big boss of Dragon Nation was Su Hao’s distant acquaintance, Heavenly King Lie Kong.

He had personally put a medal on Su Hao with a colorful rim.

“Inspector Medal—Intern”

“Congratulations. From now on, you are an intern inspector. You should know your rights and responsibilities by now. Anything else you need is probably already updated on your inspector wristband.”

Beside him. Butterfly and the other sprites stood around in succession.

Ah Yan stood behind him, closest to his shadow.

The Big Fat Bear sensed the surrounding gazes and raised its head, sticking out its chest.

The Dumb Unicorn didn’t take any small steps and stood solemnly.

After the medals were awarded and the vows were sworn, Su Hao walked to the side and sat down, waiting for the other people’s awarding segment to end.

Taking advantage of this time, he opened his wristband.

Buzz…

This inspector’s personal wristband had already been updated. Some of the privileges that hadn’t been unlocked in the past had also been completely unlocked.

“Ding! According to your position as an intern inspector, the Union’s clearance is increased by one level. Currently, your clearance is at level 11. Please take a look at the details.”

At level 10, he was already at the level of a Heavenly King. At this level, he could barely be considered one of the upper echelons of the Union. Most of the information he was able to access had already been accessed.

He could check on the current environment, the situation in the various war zones, some experts from terrorist organizations like the Dark Society, and so on.

Of course, he needed to apply to access some of the more classified information.

But it didn’t mean much.

The real benefit of high authority was that he was now able to find more treasure vaults.

“So, public reports that talked about how ‘the Union’s treasure vault has already been made public and can be exchanged with Union contribution’ were all lies.”

Apart from high clearance, there was also more detailed information about the various regional heads in his list.

When necessary, he could contact these people with his identity as an intern inspector and mobilize the local resources and manpower.

With Su Hao’s order, the various guilds had to cooperate.

He also received many emails from various corporations.

They invited him to take on some responsibilities similar to senior consultants at the company.

These were all idle jobs. Su Hao would only receive the benefits and wouldn’t really need to work… It was equivalent to various corporations giving him money… Cough, cough.

For them, it was like an investment.

“Basically, the corporations intend to exchange the benefits for future favors… under the premise that the favors won’t violate the Union’s laws.”

Despite only being able to operate within the laws of the Union, the various companies and corporations still wanted to get involved with high-level officials of the Union.

An intern inspector like Su Hao who wasn’t restricted by geographical or positional restrictions was even more popular among the corporations.

The White Elephant Club, Red Lotus Group, Green Shade Group, and other large corporations all offered him invitations.

“Although the benefits given by ordinary corporations are higher, but…”

“Ordinary corporations may encounter more trouble, so it might be better to go for the easier option…”

Su Hao already had plans.

He accepted two to three invitations from giant corporations like the Green Shade Group.

Apart from receiving benefits, being on good terms with these corporations was also very beneficial to him.

Finally,

It was time for Su Hao to recruit five members of his inspector team.

“Right now, you can put up the recruitment information of the inspector team on the Union’s intranet. Such positions are very popular and can attract the applications of a lot of Sprite Trainers.”

Heavenly King Lie Kong walked over and said, “The Union will help you eliminate the unqualified candidates among these people. There will be some outstanding talents in various aspects for you to choose from.”

Su Hao thought about it and asked, “Heavenly King Ji, do you have any suggestions?”

Heavenly King Lie Kong looked as if he was the right person to be asked this question. “Back then, I also almost… Cough, cough, this isn’t important. I still know a lot about the affairs of an inspector.”

“Firstly, in the entire team, you will have to rely on your own strength to win battles. Even if you can recruit some geniuses, you can’t expect them to be close to your level… Even if they are, their development speed will definitely be far slower than yours.”

“So the question is, what kind of talents does the inspector team usually need?”

Heavenly King Lie Kong smiled and said,

“Firstly, you will need intelligence talent that will help you collect and organize intelligence from all over the world.”

“Secondly, you need computer talent. It’s an information society now. A Sprite Trainer with advanced computer skills will play a key role in your team.”

“After that, you need an outstanding assistant. For example, if you want to deal with a foreign region, you need to at least know a little of their language. You can’t always rely on sprites to translate… I know you know how to summon spirit language, but you’re an inspector. You shouldn’t have to do everything yourself.”

He said, “For example, when you need to mobilize the local Sprite Trainers for a mission, your assistant can represent you to handle these things. As for you, what you need to do is to coordinate the overall situation, or prepare for battle to deal with tricky enemies.”

Heavenly King Lie Kong gave a lot of suggestions.

In conclusion, Su Hao needed to find team members that would deal with “other” matters.

The people he recruited would be in charge of intelligence gathering, mission handover, personnel contact, medical care, and so on.

Originally, he could even recruit another exclusive Sprite Cultivator, but Su Hao didn’t need one.

But…

Apart from these professional techniques, to qualify as a subordinate of the inspector, one also needed to have the most basic level requirements.

At least, the applicant needed to be a master-level Sprite Trainer above mid-level.

Su Hao couldn’t help but be impressed. “Now, it’s not easy to be a composite talent either… Actually, that’s probably not true. It’s mainly because I’m too popular.”

Why did I have to be so outstanding?

Originally, Su Hao wanted to offer the job to Fatty Ren and the others, but now, it seemed that among the peers he knew, there weren’t many who could meet the basic requirements.

He could only go through the slow recruitment process.

After the award ceremony, Su Hao arrived at the headquarters building of the arrest department.

At this moment…

After more than ten days, the interrogators in the arrest department had already gotten a lot of information from the captured Dark Society members.

In the past few days, the arrest department had also launched many follow-up operations.

Having played an important role in the siege of the Dark Society back then, Su Hao naturally had the right to know about such things.

“The Dark Society has been secretly collecting the technology of the Union. They even bought the prohibited goods of the Union through various channels and sold them to the alien tribes in exchange for some precious cultivation resources… Such a Dark Society is no longer just a terrorist organization. They can’t be tolerated.”

They needed to be suppressed.

Compared to the tribes, the only advantage the Union had was the level of technology. Only by using technology to assist the development of sprites will Planet Aquamarine be able to gradually catch up to the tribes.

“Besides, the Dark Society isn’t just selling Planet Aquamarine technology. They’re even trafficking… humans to the tribe!”

At that time, Butterfly saved a batch of Sprite Trainers imprisoned by the Dark Society.

According to the information obtained…

These Sprite Trainers were likely to have been brainwashed after being sold to the tribes… It was the real kind of brainwashing, using illusion to change a person’s mind!

Su Hao felt a chill in his heart. When will the people of Planet Aquamarine be able to truly fight back.

In the information, there was dozens of incriminating evidence regarding the evil deeds of the Dark Society.

It was possible that some of the underlings won’t be charged with a big crime. But if caught, most members of the Dark Society would have severe punishments that could result in them being pulled out and shot ten times.

“But what I’m more curious about is the news about that Dark Society Heavenly King. There’s nothing in here.”

Su Hao thought about it and opened his wristband. He found Captain Mo Tao, whom he got to know during the siege battle.

Ten minutes later…

In the deputy minister’s office.

Originally, Su Hao only wanted to look for Mo Tao, who had the highest position among the people he got to know in the mission, and ask about the interrogation situation of the Dark Society Heavenly King. Su Hao arrived at the office in a daze.

The big boss wanted to see him.

The deputy ministers of the four major departments could be said to be big shots with real power in the Union.

However, as someone who had seen multiple Crown level Sprite Trainers, Su Hao wasn’t afraid.

In any case, he would just answer whatever the big boss asked.

Well, overall, this big boss’s appearance didn’t seem as easy-going as Principal Yang and Teacher Yang.

It was a stoic and cold face with a threatening debuff.

“Why don’t you explain why the Union is currently focusing on dealing with terrorist organizations like the Dark Society?”

The deputy minister asked.

One of the answers for this question was naturally because the Dark Society was extremely dangerous.

The Dark Society was selling information and technology of the Union.

But apart from that, the matter was also related to the current environment.

“The current environment is that the various war zones are relatively calm. According to my understanding, the main war zones have not had a large-scale battle for several years, but…”

“Not having any big battles doesn’t mean that the aggressiveness of the Tribe’s main battle faction has weakened. It’s just that their internal situation is unstable. They’re also worried that the war with us will cause their own losses and let the other tribes take advantage of the situation.”

In terms of development speed, the tribe was naturally not as fast as the Union.

The Union also needed more time to develop.

The longer it dragged on, the smaller the gap between the Planet Aquamarine Union and the tribe.

The experts of the tribe naturally understood this.

Currently…

Some people in the Union believed that now that the difference in strength had shrunk, the tribe wouldn’t dare to start a war lightly. They could only restrict the development of the Union from other aspects.

For example, by secretly supporting organizations such as the Dark Society.

Therefore, the Dark Society had to be eliminated, or at least be dealt with.

He said.

Mo Tao nodded in agreement.

But…

Su Hao added, “There’s another possibility. The reason why the situation is stable is that the tribe is accumulating strength. I remember that the chief of the main battle faction is also the strongest tribe on the alien planet. It’s very likely that they want to complete the unification of the alien tribes first.”

“Once the various tribes are unified, the main battle faction’s power will definitely soar, and they won’t have any more scruples. So… we need to take advantage of the situation right now, when the battle isn’t tense, to draw out some power and completely eliminate the malignant tumor known as the Dark Society.”

These were speculations made by Su Hao after collecting intelligence information from various departments.

“Not bad.”

As an inspector, Su Hao needed to have a good view of the big picture.

This way, he could be a person who could control the whole situation and not just be a high-level combatant.

The deputy minister nodded in approval, but under his stoic expression, he still seemed a little scary.

After listening to Su Hao’s analysis, the deputy minister asked again,

“I want to hear about your future development plans… The Union Council won’t assign too many missions to you intern inspectors because it wants you to develop freely.”

“Of course it’s retirement… Cough, of course it’s to continue cultivating sprites.”

Su Hao almost blurted out his ultimate dream.

— Retirement.

In the past, it was because he wasn’t strong enough and didn’t feel safe.

But now, he had already defeated a Heavenly King head-on. He felt that he had completed a small goal.

He could start planning for his retirement.

He could finally relax his body and mind.

“Apart from that, I plan to conduct some research on sprite evolution.”

The deputy minister: “???”

Mo Tao: “???”

Isn’t this a little too drastic?

As a newly appointed inspector who had just received the inheritance, what was the point of doing research and not cultivating properly?

It was not proper work!

The deputy minister didn’t say this directly, but his meaning was made very clear.

“Mr. Minister, actually, research on sprite evolution is also closely related to my own development.”

Su Hao reached out and summoned the Dazed Crow. “Look, right now, the time has come for it to evolve. I’m researching evolution. Who knows when I’ll suddenly find the right path and come up with its evolution plan?”

When the deputy minister heard this, he felt that it made sense, so he slowly nodded.

Su Hao added, “Besides, a heavyweight research paper should be as helpful to the Union as a few more Heavenly Kings, right?”

Although the deputy minister was a martial artist, he couldn’t deny the contributions of the Sprite Cultivators.

It was just that…

Was a heavyweight research paper that easy to produce?

Oh right, this young man in front of him seemed to have written a heavyweight research paper before.

Therefore, he nodded with a complicated expression.

Su Hao continued, “It just so happens that I have a bit of insight into evolution research. A few days ago, I suddenly had an idea for a universal evolution. Currently, I’ve already written a few papers and uploaded them.”

“And right now, I’m only one paper away from having enough points to apply as a Master Sprite Cultivator. So I want to take advantage of this time to see if I can figure it out…”

Master Sprite Cultivator…

In other words…

He was one paper away…

If it was someone else who didn’t understand, they might feel that Su Hao was being arrogant.

However, the deputy minister remembered that this young man in front of him had once written a heavyweight research paper because of some “inspiration”.

Thinking about it this way, it seemed like it might actually be possible.

Once Su Hao succeeded, it would be a huge contribution to the Union. Thus, he had no choice but to support it.

Thinking of this, the deputy minister… nodded helplessly.
