Inside the enclosed yet spacious cabin, Lin Qing reclined on a soft, comfortable sofa seat.

Sitting next to him on the left was the sleepy Zhao Jiayi, while on the two seats across the aisle to the right were Xu Qiu and Yuan Anping.

Although there were no people in the rows in front or behind, scattered farther away sat about a dozen people.

Most of those present were either patrol chiefs or patrol officers from the Jiangnan Region, either selected by Inspection Headquarters under an Elite Patrol training contract or new genetic awakened individuals.

Along with their assistants or relatives.

Inspection Headquarters permitted the inclusion of an assistant or a relative.

"Welcome, all you new patrollers."

Suddenly, the ultra-thin full-screen that hung in front hung to life and a smiling bald man appeared on the screen—who was apparently the inspector responsible for escorting them.

No one knew his first name, only that his last name was Zhuo.

"In about half an hour, we will arrive at Inspection Headquarters."

Inspector Zhuo said with a smile, "This batch of new patrollers entering from the Jiangnan Region is rather large this time, reaching eleven. In previous years, there were only a few."

Eleven people?

Lin Qing thought about it, and that seemed about right.

From the tens of millions of people in Lin’an City alone, there was probably only one selected by Inspection Headquarters every two or three years. With roughly two hundred million people in the Jiangnan Three Provinces, one batch every half-year, the numbers added up to only a few.

However, this time Lin’an City alone had produced three individuals.

"However, this year the total number of new patrollers recruited globally by Inspection Headquarters is a bit less than last year, making the Jiangnan Region somewhat special."

Inspector Zhuo shook his head and smiled, "The role of Inspection Headquarters is also to facilitate search and patrol, but over a much wider area—all global regions excluding the urban circles and three restricted areas fall under our jurisdiction."

"Of course, each city is still overseen by its branch office; Inspection Headquarters only intervenes according to the situation in each area, sending patrol chiefs or senior patrol chiefs for support."

Inspector Zhuo said cheerfully, "But you all have the potential to become ’Elite Patrols.’ If that day comes, the areas under your supervision will differ, but these relate to the secrets of our Earth civilization. I won’t divulge more until you become Elite Patrols."

Secrets of Earth civilization?

Lin Qing was intrigued.

He had asked Chen Guang, but she didn’t know much either. She could only access the global databases connected to Inspection Headquarters, and the core data was managed by intelligent life forms. If she tried to intrude forcibly, she would be detected.

It seemed he could only wait until he entered Inspection Headquarters to learn more.

"Before we reach headquarters, there are three things you need to know."

Inspector Zhuo said with a smile, "First, from this moment onward, please forget about ranks like patrol chief and senior patrol chief. At headquarters, there are only two levels: new patrollers and Elite Patrols."

New? Elite?

The new individuals present didn’t find this strange.

After all, the contract they had signed at the beginning was for Elite Patrol training.

"According to the rules, all new patrollers initially come under the ’Training Division’ upon their arrival at headquarters."

Inspector Zhuo explained, "You have three years for training, and within these three years, your task is to transition from new to elite—meaning achieving One Star Level, otherwise, you will be expelled from headquarters."

"Of course, even after achieving One Star Level clearance, you will still be considered a peripheral member of Inspection Headquarters and can stay for up to ten years before you must leave."

"One Star Level clearance..."

Lin Qing had heard about this from Chen Guang.

The rank system was primarily for regions outside Inspection Headquarters.

At Inspection Headquarters, where the world’s most elite inspectors were concentrated, every individual could be considered an elite, and their authority differed from the past.

Thus, Elite Patrols are judged solely on level clearance.

The lowest is One Star Level, and the highest is Five Star Level.

Inspector Zhuo, serving as a division head, held Four Star Level clearance, and higher still, Five Star Level clearance, was exclusive to the Upper Ministers.

"Earning One Star Level clearance is not difficult."

Inspector Zhuo continued, "It still aligns with the consistent tradition of our patrol system—merit and strength!"

"Merit requires achieving three First-class Merits."

"As for strength, reaching the level of a typical senior patrol chief suffices, which is the most common level of a genetic awakener."

"If your genes have not awakened, you need to master the original Combat Skill and undergo certain genetic optimization."

Inspector Zhuo stated, "With that, you’d be a One Star Elite Patrol. As for becoming a Two Star Elite Patrol, that level is often only achieved by genetic awakeners. You can learn more about that after your genes awaken."

Lin Qing pondered.

Chen Guang had assessed his current strength as merely at the One Star Elite Patrol level.

Although he was among the best, he indeed was not on par with a Two Star Elite Patrol.

After all, the difference between these two levels was vast.

At Inspection Headquarters, the majority of Two Star Elite Patrols were genetic awakeners.

Whether genes were awakened or not made a significant difference.

The most ordinary genetic awakener, even without experiencing Third Energy Level genetic optimization, but merely by perfecting their genes to the ideal state and mastering a series of simplified Combat Skills to the Instinct Level, could already qualify as a senior patrol chief.

And those not awakened?

They not only required multiple genetic optimizations but also had to master the original Combat Skills. These two advantages could offset the disparity caused by gene awakening.
