Chapter 4121: Chapter 4140: Privileges
"Why?"
Lin Chen stared directly at Qiu Chan and asked bluntly, "Since this is an exception, it clearly indicates difficulty. What is your aim?"
Qiu Chan replied candidly, "Based on the current research results from the Federation on your world, although the cultivation system might not contribute much in terms of combat power, it does have many unique aspects that warriors and current Federation technology lack."
"As your power continues to grow, the Federation naturally grows more uneasy about you. But the Federation can’t just eliminate you for becoming stronger, as that would violate the Federation’s laws."
Lin Chen shrugged, "Federation laws, would they really affect individuals at our level? Whether we are legal or not, our life or death could still be determined by just a stamp and a document from them, couldn’t it?"
Qiu Chan nodded, "That’s true, but in reality, it’s not that simple. When options are available, the Federation certainly hopes to achieve its goals more harmoniously. From the current standpoint, this indeed seems to be the case."
"If the official stance were not maintained, without even mentioning the official deployment of military forces, those powerful families would have already flooded into your world, seizing everything into their hands."
"The Federation doesn’t wish for such scenarios to occur, hence there are numerous rules that restrain others as well as themselves."
Qiu Chan paused and said meaningfully, "The Federation may not be as good as you think, but it might not be as bad either."
Lin Chen nodded, agreeing with Qiu Chan’s statement.
Indeed, if it weren’t for the restraint of the Federation officials and using this to block those private forces, the Outer Domain, Heavenly God Realm, and Immortal Realm would have long since turned into hunting grounds, with all the cultivators becoming prey for the Federation people.
Not to mention, capturing a group of cultivators and bringing them back as slaves would definitely be a fascinating experience.
Compared to the survival of the fittest and conquering everything seen in the Heavenly God Realm, the Federation is indeed quite civilized.
"You inviting me to join the Security Bureau, is it an attempt to officially recruit us?"
Qiu Chan answered frankly, "Your existence makes many people like Wei Bo Fei fixate on you, and you’re not the kind of pushover that can be easily manipulated. If a conflict erupts, the consequences might exceed expectations and turn into a disaster."
Lin Chen nodded calmly. Yes, he indeed possesses such capability.
If there were no concerns, by now, the entire Wei Family, the entire First District, and the entire Emperor Star might have already been engulfed by the disaster of a Cosmic Ghost invasion.
From what Lin Chen understands, at least Federation technology seems to have no effective means to deal with Cosmic Ghosts.
This is a truly terrifying ultimate weapon.
"If you join the Security Bureau, you can do more for your world, and the Federation can be more assured of you. Others would also be wary and not dare act rashly against you, and with the identity of the Security Bureau, if anyone acts against you again, you can freely counterattack without harming the innocent, without worrying about any trouble afterwards..."
As Qiu Chan listed the advantages, Lin Chen remained calm, but when he heard about being able to counterattack freely without any trouble, his eyes lit up immediately.
This is good!
The problem he currently faces is not having a reliable enough identity, even if someone acts against him, his retaliation would be tentative, otherwise, winning might only lead to being hunted by the Federation officials.
If he joins the Security Bureau, this problem would no longer exist.
Lin Chen asked, "If I join the Security Bureau, what would I need to do? Work a nine-to-five like ordinary people, maybe even overtime?"
Qiu Chan’s lips curled slightly, "Don’t want to go to work?"
Lin Chen sighed and answered honestly, "Too accustomed to freedom, I don’t want to be constrained."
Qiu Chan nodded, "I understand, cultivators arrange their time freely for cultivation or training, unlike the time constraints of the Federation. It’s normal for you to be unwilling to accept it."
"Since you’re an exception, I can grant you some special privileges, you won’t need to follow typical employee rules and go to work obediently. You would answer directly to my leadership, only follow my orders, and I won’t usually assign you tasks outside of some occasional help. If you want to go somewhere else for a bit, just tell me in advance, and we can discuss it..."
Lin Chen couldn’t help but ask, "With such good conditions, I’m a bit flattered. Is it worth doing this for just one Level 8 Martial Artist like me?"
Qiu Chan responded, "You’re not just one person, you’re backed by an entire world, and although you are at Level 8 now, you won’t stay at Level 8 forever. Your lifespan is infinite, and sooner or later, you will reach Level 9 or even Level 10. I hope to use this approach to keep you within the framework of the Federation instead of letting you grow unchecked, or big problems are bound to arise sooner or later."
"Now, if you get into trouble, you could possibly escape interstellar, but what about when you reach Level 9 or Level 10?"
Lin Chen understood.
Qiu Chan thinks that this group is a potential hazard, which is why she wants to recruit him before a big conflict breaks out with the Federation.
While joining the Security Bureau still carries the risk of becoming hostile, having the identity of a Security Bureau member allows him to do some things legitimately, instead of being forced into an all-or-nothing path.
She grants him authority, ensuring his safety, while eliminating potential threats, ensuring the Federation’s safety.
Lin Chen turned to the women, "What do you all think?"
Gu Yuexi replied straightforwardly, "Not having to go to work while having privileges, I think it’s good."
Nalan Wushuang nodded, "Exerting some effort in exchange for an identity strong enough to protect oneself is indeed nice."
Shang Wenyao and Zhuang Susu both nodded in agreement with the two’s viewpoints.
Lin Chen was not worried about Qiu Chan deceiving him, first due to her identity, second her strength, and third if she really tries to deceive him, he could simply flee, how could she stop him?
It’s not possible that joining the Security Bureau would first require putting on shackles, right?
Lin Chen nodded, "Alright, I accept your invitation and join the Security Bureau, but I have to make one thing clear first: if I face unbearable restrictions or treatment in the Security Bureau, I will leave."
Qiu Chan nodded straightforwardly, "Okay, if you really can’t bear it, just tell me and we can find a solution. If you want to leave, I won’t stop you."
"However, I do have one request."
Lin Chen straightforwardly asked, "What is it?"
Qiu Chan stared into Lin Chen’s eyes, "Once you join the Security Bureau, your actions must comply with the Bureau’s regulations. You can’t just act on a whim. If anything happens, you can talk to me, and we can discuss it."
Lin Chen understood Qiu Chan’s objective, and laughed, "Captain Qiu, although you’re the large team leader of the Security Bureau’s First District, isn’t what you’re doing to keep me bound here a bit beyond your scope of responsibility?"
