"Is there something wrong with my teaching?" the old man exclaimed angrily, "These are all lessons taught to me by your master's master"

Ye Qian also sadly said: "Master, I will remember this. Please take care of yourself. As a lonely old man, it is not easy for you. By the way, I think you should stop taking on disciples; it is completely a waste of the nation's talents."

The beautiful woman, who is also Xiao Ni's master, and also the old man Zhizong, became anxious upon hearing these words. He rushed over and grabbed Te Fu's collar, asking: "The Special Agent Bureau?"

Is this person behind it?" Ye Qian pointed to the head of the Special Agent Bureau behind him

The mountain known as Gushan is quite remarkable; as the saying goes, it is a training base for the nation's elite. For the past two hundred years, the disciples of Gushan, who are taken under state education upon reaching the age of 12, have all distinguished themselves. Of course, this does not include those who did not make it due to untimely demise. Their presence can be seen in various national departments such as transportation and electricity, as well as in grassroots sectors like the police and fire services. However, the number is still relatively small, as Gushan does not engage in talent wholesale. This is because wholesale talent tends to be cheaper, indeed. Ye Qian holds this view.

As the saying goes, a mountain does not have to be high; it is spiritual if there are immortals present... In fact, this statement is quite inaccurate. For instance, Emei Mountain is certainly full of spiritual energy, isn't it? Show me an immortal if you can.

Thus, the two little spirits left their cozy nest and ventured into the unknown and frigid world. Ah! I almost forgot to mention: cough! ... The wheel of fate begins to turn ...

On the planet X, in a place called China, there is a famous mountain that has no immortals but is well-known. The fame of this mountain lies in the fact that it is home to many distinguished individuals. First, it must be clarified that the term 'distinguished individuals' does not refer to people who are tall, nor does it imply that they are particularly skilled in combat, although there are indeed some who are both tall and capable in that regard. ... Here, 'distinguished individuals' means ... they reside at a higher elevation www.hetushu.com. At least, this is how Ye Qian perceives it.

Ah! A thin girl wearing glasses broke free from a beautiful woman's hand and ran over two steps: "Are you also going down the mountain? Which unit are you going to?"

Te Fu struggled twice but was completely unable to move, his face turning ashen. It is said that the old man Zhi Zong has always been very powerful, and today it was indeed the case. The beautiful woman sighed, set Te Fu down, and said: "This is fate. Take him away!"

There are many sects in Gushan, ranging from the Martial Sect to the Wisdom Sect. Each sect's senior disciple, upon the teacher's ascension to the position of the former master, must return to report for duty regardless of their current profession. They are then responsible for training the disciples of their sect and monitoring the behavior of the sect's disciples in the lower regions.

"Indeed! He said I can eat chocolate freely every day," Xiao Ni nodded

Thus, Ye Qian signed the contract with this organization that covers everything except for life safety and salary benefits... After placing his handprint on the contract, the illusion potion became ineffective, and a small line of text appeared where he pressed his hand: "I swear by the honor of my ancestors: alive, I am a person of the Special Agent Bureau; dead, I am a corpse of the Special Agent Bureau." This agency, disguised as the police department, finally recruited two individuals this year, fulfilling its task quota for the year.

This agency, disguised as the police department, finally recruited two individuals this year, fulfilling its task quota for the year. There is no way around it; the mortality rate in this profession is not high, but the disappearance rate is exceedingly high. With one misstep, such individuals can vanish from the Earth. A few years ago, Gushan issued a letter of resistance against the Special Agent Bureau, but the quotas must still be met. In this profession, the Special Agent Bureau, especially the Gushan brand, is still considered relatively reliable.

"The Special Agent Bureau," Ye Qian replied. The head of the recruitment unit beside him felt a jolt in his heart; it was indeed from the Gushan brand, and he had been recognized.

I work in logistics at the police department, " Xiao Ni replied.

However, the cultivation of disciples by Gushan is also calculated at retail prices. The most important reason for this is that for the past two hundred years, Gushan has provided talent to society without anyone betraying the country, and there have been no incidents of corruption or bribery. The assurance of safety and the absence of side effects are Gushan's trademarks. Events that have not occurred in two hundred years cannot be termed miracles or coincidences; rather, they are a necessity. The old man from Gushan is not only ignorant of the law but also a rogue, frequently descending the mountain to check accounts and people. Upon discovering potential talent, he immediately resorts to violent re-education. Therefore, a person produced by Gushan is more incorruptible than a public servant in Norway.

"Is it!" Ye Qian suddenly exclaimed, his eyes lighting up: "Xiao Ni, you have come out of the mountains too?"

At the ancient mountain gate, an old man held Ye Qian's small hand, tears streaming down his face: "Qian'er, you are about to leave. You must remember to speak as little as possible and do as little as possible; it is best if you do not do anything at all. My master does not expect you to make significant contributions to the country; as long as you cause less trouble for everyone while you are alive, my master will be content and at peace. If you really cannot hold back, just go abroad; do whatever you want, and my master will definitely not come to check on you."

"Being clever does not equate to being wise," the words of this great man are indeed correct. Ye Qian mourned for Xiao Ni. There was nothing he could do; the old man forced him to go and press his fingerprint, claiming that this would represent the freedom to travel the world without spending any money. He knew all too well that the old man would rather he die far away, so he could have the energy to harm the next little child.

... ...

Generation after generation, the influence of Gushan in society has been growing increasingly significant. As early as over a hundred years ago, during the Dragon Boat Festival, units in need of personnel would come to select talents. Now, during the Dragon Boat Festival, departments in need of staff are competing to recruit. In their words, it doesn't matter if you are a bit foolish or slow-witted, as long as you are from Gushan. Moreover, Gushan has never produced anyone foolish; the average IQ is above 130. Various recruitment tactics are emerging one after another. There is even a unit that boasts the slogan 'providing food, accommodation, and a wife.' In their words, it doesn't matter if you are a bit foolish or slow-witted, as long as you are from Gushan.
