"We’re young, and we’re impulsive, but we’re not stupid!"

The young people, who had already seen the immense power of Father Shen and Uncle Sun in the group chat, felt utterly exasperated as they watched Director Li Yunlong try to stir up trouble on the stage. Some of the sharper ones even noticed a similarity between the Golden Guardian and the Golden Celestial Horse from last night’s video. Although their forms were different, their color and aura had a certain resemblance.

"I have to say, I liked you all better when you were arrogant and unruly..." A thought surfaced in Li Yunlong’s mind as he looked at the young people, who were now as meek as lambs. His plan to use Father Shen and Uncle Sun to knock these kids down a peg had failed, as no one took the bait.

Soon, after Father Shen and Uncle Sun were introduced to everyone and their details were briefly recorded, the crowd got busy again. The military and public security officers were handling the massive casualties from the previous night, but that didn’t mean things were relaxed at the Tourism Management Office. They had far more on their plate: recruiting new members, conducting tests, fostering team integration, compiling data, handling emergencies, and so on. In the future, as more monsters manifested, the problems they would face would only become more difficult... 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"Alright! Then I’ll be in charge of recruitment today and act as the face of the Tourism Management Office!"

Half an hour later, Father Shen and Uncle Sun stood with the Golden Guardian before the recruitment desk on the first floor. The Tourism Management Office had just been established, and there was far too much to do. Because of their powerful Golden Guardian, the two men were ultimately assigned to the first stage of recruitment to serve as the public face of the organization.

Another ten or so minutes later, a young man with thick eyebrows and large eyes stood before Father Shen, saying he was there to apply.

"Age!" Father Shen followed procedure, quickly taking down the information.

"18!"

"What game do you play?"

"Tower Defense of Ten Thousand Realms!"

"How much have you spent on it?"

"Thirteen thousand, eight hundred!"

The information was quickly recorded in a rapid-fire Q&A session.

"Eighteen... are you a university student?" Having finished his notes, Father Shen asked one more question as he was about to put the form away.

"Yes, at Qing City Institute of Technology!" the young man answered quickly. As a ’Project 985’ school, one of the nation’s top universities, the Institute of Technology was incredibly famous in Qing City. The students took great pride in their school.

"Is that so? What a coincidence. My daughter is also at Qing City Institute of Technology! She’s 18, too," Father Shen said in surprise.

"Ah!! Really? I’m in the finance department. What department is your daughter in?" He watched as the towering Golden Guardian behind Father Shen demonstrated its power, raising its long spear and effortlessly piercing and withdrawing it from a block of titanium alloy. The young man had just rushed over from Qing City Institute of Technology, and he asked respectfully. He had already heard from others nearby that the man before him was the Director of the Tourism Management Office. He couldn’t go back to the university, so the young man wanted to leave a good impression on the Director.

"Oh? Quite a coincidence. My daughter is also in the finance department!" Father Shen hadn’t expected that the young man with the bold features before him was actually in the same department as his daughter. He directly revealed his daughter Shen Yue’s class number: "My daughter is in Class 2 of the first-year finance department. What about you?"

"Ah!!?? I’m in Class 2 as well! My name is Qiao Shan. What’s your daughter’s name?" Hearing about this extra layer of connection, Qiao Shan, who had just rushed over from Qing City Institute of Technology hoping to join the Tourism Management Office, grew excited.

My own abilities aren’t bad, and now I have this connection as a classmate. Doesn’t that mean my spot in the Tourism Management Office is in the bag?!

Back at school, he’d felt like a complete joke because of that Brother Kaipan, the guy ranked 18th on the Combat Power leaderboard. He never expected that things would take such a turn for the better. Just by coming to the Tourism Management Office, an opportunity had landed right in his lap.

"Her name is Shen Yue! You’re Qiao Shan, right? I’ll ask her about you later..." Father Shen put away the registration form and nodded at Qiao Shan.

"AH—!!!??"

Qiao Shan suddenly let out a hysterical cry of alarm. This gave Father Shen a huge fright...

(PS: Timidly asking for some free recommendation tickets. No one’s voting anymore, and I’m getting a little panicked...)
