Mini World Game Console

The night of September 11th, in the meeting room of the Lianjiang City Countermeasures Bureau.

"Today, the guests visited the Lian Tower night view, the Lian Province Museum, and took a Lianjiang Night Tour. They dined at famous restaurants for both lunch and dinner. Tomorrow morning, as scheduled, they will meet with local business people in Lianjiang. In the afternoon, they will rest before attending the exchange dinner hosted by Heavenly Lotus Academy in the evening."

After hearing Li Dan's account, Yu Kuangtu yawned and asked, "Did you notice anything unusual today, Li Dan?"

"No." Li Dan's eyes narrowed into a line, his dark circles as heavy as if he were a living national treasure. "They didn't do anything out of the ordinary; they genuinely seemed to be here just for fun."

Yu Kuangtu nodded. "Since you say so, let's assign personnel according to the original plan."

While not top-tier in combat power, Li Dan's scouting capabilities were second to none within the Lianjiang City Countermeasures Bureau. If he hadn't spotted any issues after surveilling all day, then sending others would be pointless. If the visitors were planning mischief, the Tactical Bureau could only respond reactively, as preemptive actions were unfeasible. If that was the case, there was no need to overthink; being prepared with sufficient reserves and ready on standby would suffice.

"Tomorrow, Teams Seven and Four will be responsible for the guests' security. Any problems with that?"

Yu Kuangtu looked at Qiao Muyi and Yi Zhao. Qiao Muyi remained serious throughout the meeting, making no unnecessary movements, and nodded firmly. "I guarantee the mission will be completed."

Yi Zhao glanced at Qiao Muyi, somewhat helplessly. "I guarantee the mission will be completed."

"For the next few days, no one is allowed to take leave. If there's nothing to do, stay in the Tactical Bureau. Even after work, stay here and rest. The Tactical Bureau's underground Cultivation Ground has been completed. You can go directly downstairs to cultivate and pass the time," Yu Kuangtu said, tapping the table.

"This international guest exchange is taken very seriously by the higher-ups. Furthermore, these guests have a special status and are even linked to the extremely mysterious Fairy Palace. Any problems could impact our nation's international influence. Guest security has been entrusted to our Tactical Bureau, so we absolutely cannot afford any lapses. I assure you, everyone will receive their full Spirit Stone bonuses afterward, and leave will be duly recorded. Everyone just has to endure for the next few days."

Manpower is truly insufficient, Yu Kuangtu sighed to himself. As the only Third-turn Cultivator in the Tactical Bureau and the strongest single combatant within Lianjiang City, he could not afford to move about freely. He had to remain stationed at the Tactical Bureau, near government buildings and other vital institutions, to coordinate efforts.

Heavenly Lotus Academy was too far from the city. It wasn't just about him; even if Yu Kuangtu wanted to dispatch other Tactical Bureau members there, he would have to carefully consider the numbers.

The era of Sword Immortals, capable of "killing from a thousand miles away without needing to take ten steps," was still far off. The city's best means of Teleportation was still the car. This meant Yu Kuangtu's Movement Speed was not much different from that of ordinary people. Therefore, he mostly ate and slept within the Tactical Bureau, dedicated to maintaining the peace of Lianjiang City.

Although encounters with Demons and Ghosts in Lianjiang City had greatly decreased thanks to *Midnight Walker*, a general decrease didn't mean they couldn't happen. When Demons and Ghosts didn't bother you, it was merely an illusory probability; when they targeted you, it became a 100% reality.

For instance, just the other morning, some Tactical Bureau members encountered a drunk Half-Demon Awakener. After an unintended altercation, his demonic nature surged, transforming his hands into blades as he prepared to commit public violence. If the Tactical Bureau members hadn't possessed the Clothing Spell and other powerful techniques to immediately counter-kill the assailant, another tragedy would have occurred.

Thus, many Tactical Bureau members had to be dispatched to chase down such assailants and assist the Public Security systems in safeguarding citizen safety. Additionally, members' shifts had to be reasonably scheduled to allow them sufficient Cultivation time. It was indeed overwhelming.

"Deputy Head, I don't think we need two teams for the escort," Yi Zhao said, unable to hold back after thinking for a while. "This is Lianjiang City, a top-tier city in the Mysterious Country. The guests aren't political figures, and besides, they have British Supernaturals guarding them. Two teams are too much of a waste of the Tactical Bureau's manpower. One team for protection and surveillance would suffice."

"Hmm... Alright then, Team Four doesn't need to go. Team Seven will handle the security work for tomorrow's guests." Yu Kuangtu, already somewhat inclined to this idea, gladly accepted Yi Zhao's suggestion. "Team Four can rest at the Tactical Bureau tomorrow."

Qiao Muyi glanced at Yi Zhao. Yi Zhao, on the other hand, breathed a sigh of relief. As long as I don't have to act together with Qiao Muyi, that mobile factory of lethal, smilingly-delivered toxic motivation, I'm fine.

Everyone agreed with this. After all, Lianjiang City, Shenhai, the Abyss, and Sky Capital were the four major cities of the Mysterious Country. From airplanes, ships, and trains to all entrance and exit channels, they were equipped with tight security. It was simply impossible for any problems to occur.

If some reckless Demons and Ghosts did come looking for trouble, a team of Tactical Bureau members, along with the British Supernaturals, was enough to teach those Demons and Ghosts to be good people in their next life.

Ren Suo... Yu Kuangtu suddenly remembered this. It's such a shame I couldn't personally witness his embarrassing attempt at a self-introduction, stammering in that Ossa Ethiopian-accented English. A truly huge loss!

After changing his clothes and coming out, Ren Suo tugged at his tie, still feeling it was too tight.

"Bro, stop fussing, it's supposed to be like this." Ren Xingmei came over and swatted Ren Suo's hands away, pulling the tie tighter. Ren Suo's neck felt so constricted his eyes bulged. "If you pull any more, my tongue is going to stick out."

"Stop messing with it, you look good like this. Don't lose to Teacher Bai later!" Ren Xingmei said, clenching her fist.

Ren Suo looked at Ren Xingmei curiously. "Do you dislike Bai Ji?"

"It's not that I dislike him... Don't keep Teacher Dong waiting. Go on, go downstairs."

Ren Xingmei waved her hand, indicating Ren Suo should leave, while she lay down on the sofa to continue playing video games. Ren Xingmei had originally planned to come to Ren Suo's House to play video games this weekend night, but since Ren Suo had to attend a dinner, she had to play by herself.

Although Ren Xingmei initially played video games partly because of Ren Suo, the gaming industry had developed significantly. The fun level of games had gradually surpassed that of spending time with guys like him. Therefore, Ren Xingmei sincerely wanted to come to Ren Suo's House to play console games.

Ren Suo glanced at the game on the screen: *Heavenly Punishment and Earthly Destruction 4*. It was a classic Ninja infiltration game by Flourishing Sakura. The game featured no extraordinary combat power; the characters' combat power was only at the peak of what ordinary people could achieve. It was all about the thrill of secretive stealth.

Since his sister had come, Ren Suo naturally locked up the Mini-World Game Console and took out the Hell 4PRO. Seeing this kind of 'serious' console game after a long time, Ren Suo felt a bit nostalgic. When it comes to playability, the Mini-World Game Console might not necessarily surpass these masterpieces. But I can't go back. What I value most in playing games is 'feedback.' Modern games undoubtedly provide intense feedback. This ranges from Sensory Stimulation like vibrations, visuals, and sound effects, to plot changes, skill evolution, and awareness Strengthening. Whether dominating or being dominated, Players can get enough feedback to continue playing.

However, the feedback I receive from the Mini-World Game Console is stronger than anything else—the rewards I get can directly enhance my own strength! The props I get can become my trump cards! Even more so, I can use game content to seize the initiative and gain legitimate benefits. Isn't my current Level 3 Researcher status a result of my 'visionary' foresight? Of course, I've also put in a lot of effort, like having to act cool in games and write academic papers outside of them...

Not to mention, I can rely on the games to change the world and enhance myself, yet I myself face no danger. This means only positive feedback, with no negative repercussions! I can control various game characters, shaping different lives for them. I can turn Devouring the Spirit of the World into the Handsome Monkey King, the owner of the Ghost Stall into the God of Cookery, adventurers into kings of showing off, and Rebels into diligent Ascetics!

This level of feedback, this excitement... Can ordinary games even compare? No, they can't!
