Once, I wanted to be a good person

"Just that the number of Artifacts is limited. And Bureau Chief Bai Zhi and I also want to cultivate some newcomers we can trust within the Security Bureau,"

"So, in the initial stage, this Artifact will only be used by newcomers I trust."

Although Fang Ze's words were cryptic, all the trainees present actually understood his condition: the prerequisite for using this Artifact was loyalty.

Only those trainees who were loyal to Fang Ze and Bai Zhi and willing to follow their commands would Fang Ze help to enhance their skills and accelerate their training.

And if they aligned with others or harbored other thoughts, then Fang Ze would withdraw the Artifact at any time.

To be honest, that was a very reasonable, even very cheap price to pay.

Moreover, for most of these trainees who had no faction and even after entering the Security Bureau were not sure what to do, this was not even a cost.

After all, Fang Ze was a powerful officer with tremendous potential and a smart head on his shoulders.

Compared to entering the Security Bureau unsupported and starting from scratch, backing such a significant figure might present a better opportunity for advancement.

Therefore, now that the cost was no issue, the biggest problem troubling the trainees became resources.

Enhancing strength required resources, required money.

Where to get resources, where to get money, that was truly the most troublesome issue.@@novelbin@@

After all, without resources, even aligning with Fang Ze wouldn't be very effective...

Thus, for a time, many trainees began to bow their heads in deep thought...

Capturing the trainees' thoughts with one glance, Fang Ze smiled and then appropriately ended today's lecture.

He said, "Alright. I have said everything I need to say. You can go back and consider it slowly."

"This is an excellent opportunity," Your journey continues on My Virtual Library Empire

"but the threshold is indeed very high,"

"You don't have to rush your decisions."

Having said that, he gathered the box on the ground, stored it in the Space Folding Bag, and then floated away...

Behind him, in the Practice Field, many trainees remained standing, looking at his retreating figure filled with hesitation and conflict...

While walking home, Fang Ze also reminisced about his plans for tonight in his own mind.

In fact, regarding tonight's plan, he had made several versions, such as directly enhancing the trainees' abilities for free, offering free Martial Skills training and charging for strength enhancement...

Anyway, there were many.

But in the end, he had chosen this current version.

Because he believed that only what is obtained through hard work is cherished.

If he directly enhanced the trainees' abilities for free, most would not see it as a precious opportunity.

But by charging them, making them pay out of their own pockets, only then would they realize how valuable this opportunity was!

This way, they would cherish it even more.

As for not revealing his own ability but using an ordinary pocket watch as a pretend Extraordinary Artifact,

that was the result of Fang Ze's careful consideration.

After pondering for a long time, he still felt that the less outsiders knew about the Awakening Ability, the better.

Also, by attributing the ability's effects to the pocket watch, even if outsiders learned about it, they would focus only on the pocket watch and not on Fang Ze.

This would give Fang Ze the opportunity to strategize or to deceive others...

As he thought this, Fang Ze also calculated his gains for the evening.

Tonight he had used the "Credit Sharing" function of "High-Level Credit World" twice on 23 trainees.

The first was: Borrow the effects of Sealing Thunder Fist training for three days.

This actually... did not require Fang Ze to pay any fee.

After he lent them the effects for three days, they would need to slowly repay him over the next month.

Of course, Fang Ze also told them to train diligently after using the Artifact.

So, Fang Ze thought that maybe in a day they would repay the money, and then he could continue to enhance them without them realizing he was engaging in a no-cost business...

The second was: To improve their strength by about 5%, which varied from person to person. The price ranged from 5000 to 9000 Lini.

But Fang Ze had collected 250,000 Lini worth of crystals from affluent students.

He made a clear profit of 50,000 Lini.

This was in line with the 20% "interest rate" given by "High-Level Credit World."

And to have earned 50,000 Lini from just a bit of strength enhancement...

Fang Ze estimated that once this batch of trainees all achieved Perfection in Muscle Tempering, he could earn about 700,000 to 900,000 Lini.

And, by the same ratio, once this batch of trainees broke through to Perfection in Tendon Tempering, he could further earn about 1.4 million to 1.8 million Lini.

With just these 30 "cabbage," Fang Ze's earnings were quite substantial,

and if later batches of trainees came in, Fang Ze's strength could truly rocket up very rapidly...

He would no longer need to exhaust himself earning resources!

Thinking thus, filled with anticipation for the future, Fang Ze arrived home.

After he returned home, he washed up, then lay down on his bed.

Today, his work had been busy, not only training trainees but also attending to another significant matter: interrogating Director Qin, who had deliberately caused him trouble today.

It was clear that someone else was behind Director Qin causing trouble today.

Fang Ze needed to find out who was behind it, what their purpose was, and what their next plans were.

Moreover, let's not forget that Director Qin was a Fuser.

Every time Fang Ze interrogated a Fuser, he gained something valuable, making him very much look forward to tonight's interrogation...

With these thoughts in mind, Fang Ze lay on his bed, closed his eyes, and slowly drifted off to sleep...

......

He didn't know how long it had been when Fang Ze opened his eyes, and he had already arrived at the Late-Night Investigation Room.

He looked around the entire room.

There were no changes in the investigation room, only that the white light on the iron door seemed to have become denser, almost as if it were about to overflow.

Fang Ze always felt that Miaomiao had done something on her end, but since he hadn't contacted Miaomiao these past few days, he couldn't know the specifics, only waiting to inquire thoroughly the next time he summoned Miaomiao.

Thinking this, he temporarily put aside Miaomiao's matter, sat down on a chair, and began tonight's interrogation...
