Chapter 10 - Chapter 10: No Entry for Non-Combatants!

Tonight, after Lin Hao's breakthrough, the milk tea shop's sales soared.

Cultivation really is a productivity booster!

After serving the City Management Team the last three super-sized milk tea buckets at no extra charge, Lin Hao and the city management left.

The milk tea shop owner was very happy.

Every shop owner knows, it's better to deal with the local powers than officials.

Now that her partner could get along well with the City Management Team, it was a great thing!

As the owner, she should do a good job calculating today's revenue and costs in the shop.

Ensure that by the end of the month, when sharing dividends with Lin Hao, the calculations are clear.

If the calculations are clear, the cooperation can last longer.

Now, this milk tea shop couldn't do without Lin Hao...

After finishing the accounts, the milk tea shop owner started cleaning the shop, and when she got tired, she took a sip of the milk tea Lin Hao had left for her.

This milk tea was a new product Lin Hao had just developed, and after a sip, the owner felt full of energy.

And this milk tea was named by Lin Hao as——

"The Worker's Supply Station!"

But...

It seems like I am the owner here~

...

Compared to the shop owner's confusion, Lin Hao was carrying a milk tea bucket, listening to the city management member, who had "Secret Transmission" ability, ramble. The person called themselves [Yadan].

With Yadan's rambling, Lin Hao got a basic understanding of the City Management Team.

In Ke Chen City, the Extraordinary hides amongst the ordinary.

Previously, there was an Extraordinary Organization in Ke Chen City with a special name called——

The Bureau for Handling Extraordinary Events.

Just by hearing it, you know what it's for.

Simple, direct, and clear.

But every time an event occurred, and the Extraordinary brought out their credentials...

No one believed them!

Even though there was a seal on it, no one believed them!

Wasn't it easy to forge a seal?

When they handed over their credentials, most people would look at them as if they were fools, as if to say——

"Do you think I'm a three-year-old child?"

Once, when they took out their credentials from the "Bureau for Handling Extraordinary Events," the ordinary person opposite took out a stack of credentials from their pocket——

Dragon Team Top Consultant Certificate.

Demon Suppression Bureau Special Investigator Certificate.

Certificate of Active Participant Against Evil Forces...

A whopping ten certificates!

They all looked authentic.

And these certificates were bought at a supermarket in front of an elementary school!!!

Why would a supermarket in front of an elementary school sell these certificates?!

The Extraordinary folks: We're doomed, we've become counterfeit!

Thus, the next day, the Extraordinary gathered strength, integrated resources, and tidied up the phenomenon of "selling fake certificates" at elementary schools throughout the city.

After multiple reviews of Extraordinary events, the Extraordinary decided to change their front.

After extensive discussion and consultation, they finally decided to use a format familiar to the public, one that could be accepted everywhere——

The City Comprehensive Management Team.

With this adjustment, everything became easier.

Wherever the City Management appeared, it wouldn't feel awkward. When investigating Extraordinary events, everything fell into place naturally.

For anything happening in the city, shouldn't the City Management handle it?

Moreover, in the future, when the Extraordinary talk to their families about their work, they don't need to be evasive.

Just say they're with the City Management!

The kind with official status!

With full benefits!

After changing the front, the marriage rate of the Extraordinary team reached a small peak.

Currently, there are two ways to acquire Extraordinary Powers.

One is the random awakening of Extraordinary powers, which vary widely.

Some can make a rooster lay eggs, some can fly into the sky by stepping on their right foot with their left, and others can spit watermelon seeds with bullet-like effects...

For example, the Superpower User they recently recruited awoke with the ability——[Selling Sleepiness].

This ability can deprive drowsiness and use the deprived drowsiness to give others drowsiness.

When dealing with workers and students, after receiving payment, he deprives their drowsiness to make their work more spirited and study more focused.

When dealing with insomnia patients, he sells the deprived drowsiness back to them for a good night's sleep...

Truly realizing zero cost, pure profit!

Then there's the seasoned veteran in their Extraordinary team, whose ability is [Take a Humble Name].

People given a "humble name" by this senior, upon using it long-term, have better chances of surviving dangerous situations.

Many in Ke Chen City's Extraordinary have had this senior assign them a code name.

There are Erya, Taohong, Gouzi, Er Niu, Da Mao,...

Yadan's code name was also given by this senior.

And in Yadan's view, Lin Hao is considered a Superpower User, and his ability is referred to as [Milk Tea Master], capable of endowing milk tea with unparalleled charm, benefiting both ordinary and Extraordinary drinkers...

Though Lin Hao isn't a Superpower User, but a Cultivator, such a mistake is a good thing!

Yes, yes, yes, I am a Superpower User!

Another way to acquire Extraordinary Powers is to contain objects already having extraordinary powers within a mortal body.

These objects with extraordinary powers are called Receptacles by the Extraordinary.

The source of Receptacles naturally comes from Dungeons!

Nobody knows exactly why Dungeons appear, experts and scholars have never understood it.

But Yadan knows, each time a Dungeon appears, those chosen have to tackle the Dungeon!

Surviving in the Dungeon provides a chance to bring out Receptacles or be rewarded with other benefits from the Dungeon.

Failing to survive in the Dungeon means the Dungeon will invade reality!

This time, the reason Yadan asked Lin Hao to make milk tea to take to the City Management Team is that they had a partner entering a Dungeon...

They are Receptacles, only by using the Receptacles within can they become Extraordinary.

However, using Receptacles has side effects, and these side effects can be somewhat alleviated by drinking the milk tea made by Lin Hao.

"This time the Dungeon is on the paranormal side, it's very dangerous."

"Compared to regular Dungeons, paranormal side Dungeons are harder, because you have no idea what's on those ghosts' and monsters' minds!"

Hearing Yadan's worried words, a segment of log flashed before Lin Hao's eyes again.

[The White Impermanence Avatar helped a Qi Refining level eight ghost achieve reincarnation]

Thus, Lin Hao instinctively said:

"If you don't know what they're thinking, just exorcise them!"

"It's not that simple!"

Yadan didn't mock Lin Hao's ignorance. After all, Lin Hao was just a Superpower User, and one without combat power at that. Once he joins the City Management Team and mingles in the Extraordinary Circle, Yadan believed Lin Hao would know how challenging paranormal side Dungeons are!

...

During their chat, they soon reached the outside of the City Management Team.

Tonight, the office building of the City Management Team was brightly lit.

Lin Hao could clearly see the banner hanging outside——

"City management shows vitality, civilization showcases charm throughout the city."

"Everyone participates in city building, everyone promotes a new wave of civilization."

"..."

This place actually seems quite for real, huh.

"Let's go, we're here."

Yadan invited Lin Hao into the City Management Team.

As Lin Hao followed Yadan to enter the office area, he was stopped.

"Ahead is a combat readiness zone, please show your access permit."

Seeing Lin Hao being stopped, Yadan's expression wasn't pleasant.

"Tiezhu, what do you mean? Don't you know who he is?"

"Of course, I know. Wasn't the milk tea for the whole team made by him?"

"Then why are you stopping him?"

"It's precisely because I know him that I'm stopping him; he's just a Superpower User who can only make milk tea and has no combat power."

The burly man referred to as Tiezhu looked at Lin Hao and spoke word by word:

"Ahead is the combat readiness zone, idle personnel without combat power, no entry!"

[For Lin Hao, a dignified Cultivator, to be looked down upon by a Martial Artist with a smidgen of power!]

[This is the desecration of Cultivators by mortals! They should be punished!]

Staring at the man called Tiezhu before him, Lin Hao extended his Divine Thought, sensing the man's weak Spiritual Power, thinking if he slightly concentrated his Divine Thought for a collision...

The man...

Would die.
