"Directly from headquarters? Top-secret level B+?" Chen Weiguo felt a shiver in his heart. He immediately performed identity verification and opened the file.

A moment later...

"Pfft—!!!"

Chen Weiguo sprayed the mouthful of tea he had just taken all over the polished tabletop, his eyes wide as saucers, his mouth agape enough to fit an egg.

"Lin Feng?! That Lin Feng from Class 7, Senior Year 3?! Thirty days ago... no, ten days in Blue Star time ago, the same Lin Feng I was lecturing in their school's awakening hall?!!"

He stood up abruptly, knocking over his chair in the process with a loud "clang." The secretary outside poked her head in nervously, but he waved her away.

Chen Weiguo paced back and forth in his office as if he had seen a ghost. His expression was a kaleidoscope of emotions—disbelief, absurdity, shock, and a hint of excitement even he hadn't noticed.

"A Village Establishment Order? A lord? Beacon Fire Village? And he actually managed to gain a foothold in the Canglang Plain Riverbend Land, that godforsaken place infested with bandits?! This is a rookie? This must be a child of destiny descended to earth?!"

How long has it even been? At most, it's only been thirty-something days in the Nightmare World! Thirty-something days to go from an unarmed rookie with potentially terrible spawn point to owning a territory recognized by the National Fortune Cauldron and becoming a lord?

This can no longer be explained by simple luck! This requires what kind of terrifying survival skills, combat ability, decisiveness, and even... fortune?

Chen Weiguo had been through his fair share of storms after all. After the initial shock, he quickly calmed down, his eyes gleaming.

"Headquarters orders: liaison, observation, support, Class B priority focus..."

He chewed on these keywords, "It seems headquarters has also noticed this kid's extraordinary nature. Eighteen years old, a commoner, rising at a terrifying speed... infinite potential!"

He immediately sat back down and pulled up the internal system: "Yu Shu (Rongcheng node), retrieve all registration data for Lin Feng and his immediate family members, and conduct a social relationship analysis."

"At the same time, initiate the 'Rookie Lord Support Plan (Grade A).' Immediately allocate a detached villa in the Rongcheng 'Lords Home' residential complex and register it under Lin Feng's name."

"The lord's basic monthly allowance should be issued at the highest standard of 1 million credit points, and the channel should be opened immediately."

【Command confirmed. Data retrieval in progress... Villa No. 7 in 'Lords Home' has been locked, and the property transfer process has been initiated. The allowance account has been established, and the first subsidy has been issued.】 The reply from the Yu Shu Rongcheng branch was equally efficient.

"Also," Chen Weiguo rubbed his chin, "The choice of liaison is very important. Headquarters requested to 'pay attention to methods.' The kid is young, but to become a lord so quickly, he definitely isn't a fool, and he might have strong wariness. Sending an old veteran might backfire..."

"Yu Shu, analyze Lin Feng's personality model (based on the very limited data available) and evaluate candidates within our bureau suitable to serve as the 'Rookie Lord Liaison Specialist.' Who is most likely to gain his favor and trust in the early stages?"

Data streams scrolled rapidly across the light screen.

【Based on Lin Feng's registration data (steady school performance, above-average grades, no notable social records), behavioral observation on Awakening Day (calm, focused), and the general psychological model simulation for 'commoners who rise rapidly as lords'...】

【Analysis conclusion: Such lords are usually extremely confident, sensitive to the desire for control, and may harbor implicit rejection towards contact that carries an ❖ Nоvеl𝚒ght ❖ (Exclusive on Nоvеl𝚒ght) obvious 'official' or 'elderly' instructional tone.】

【Suggested liaison personnel: Young, strong affinity, no obvious sense of oppression, preferably possessing certain 'peer' or 'partner' attributes, capable of downplaying the official nature of the contact.】 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

【Matching qualified personnel from the Rongcheng branch...】

【Matching complete. Optimal recommendation: Lin Xiaoyu, female, 22 years old, graduated this year from the Jinghai Nightmare Administration Academy. Personality assessment: outgoing and cheerful, affinity S, good at communication, smile is highly infectious. No complex background, clear social relationships. Employed for three months, active performance, not yet assigned a fixed responsibility area.】

【Assessment: Her image and personality have a high probability of lowering the target lord's initial psychological defenses and establishing a relatively relaxed first impression.】

"Lin Xiaoyu?" Chen Weiguo had some impression of this new graduate; she was a young girl who was always smiling and full of energy. Her professional competence was decent, and the key was that youthful spirit—she really didn't seem like an old bureaucrat.

"Fine, she's the one!" Chen Weiguo made the decision. "Have her get ready immediately and come with me!"

He checked the time, then glanced at the status note for Lin Feng's Blue Star body in the file (Phase virtualization, stable), as well as the time he became a lord.

"Lord identity bound, core area established... This kid, as long as he isn't stupid, must have already returned to Blue Star by now, or will return immediately!"

Chen Weiguo said confidently, "Go to his house! It just so happens that his parents must be worried sick, so we'll handle that at the same time!"

He picked up his coat and walked out of the office with swift, decisive steps.

"Xiao Zhao! Notify Lin Xiaoyu to bring the rookie lord welfare documents and standard agreements, meet downstairs in five minutes, and come with me for field work!"

Not long after, a black SUV, ordinary on the outside but specially modified on the inside, drove out of the Rongcheng Nightmare Affairs Bureau compound, merged into traffic, and sped toward the old district where Lin Feng's home was located.

In the car, Lin Xiaoyu, who had just received the mission and was still a bit confused, held a silver metal case, looking curiously and nervously at the serious-faced Chen Weiguo.

"Director Chen, are we going to meet a new lord? Which big shot is it?" Lin Xiaoyu asked in a low voice.

Chen Weiguo glanced at her, a complex smile appearing on his face, filled with both emotion and expectation.

"A big shot? Maybe not yet. But in the future... he might really become an incredible figure."

He looked at the street scene rapidly retreating outside the car window.

"An eighteen-year-old kid who went from an awakened rookie to a Nightmare Lord in just ten days."

"His name is Lin Feng."

"Prepare well, Xiaoyu. Your first liaison target might... be very interesting."

Lin Xiaoyu blinked her large eyes, digesting this astonishing information. Then, her signature smile, full of sunshine and affinity, returned to her face, along with a thick sense of curiosity and fighting spirit.

"Understood, Director Chen! I guarantee I will complete the mission!"

In the morning sunlight, the car drove toward the home of the boy who had just ignited the beacon of war in the Nightmare World and was about to attract the first wave of official attention on Blue Star.

The ripples of the new and old worlds were quietly spreading from this ordinary corner.
