227 Chapter - Problem Children Are Great!

As expected.

Ye Yao was not surprised at all.

She would be shocked if the Countermeasures Bureau disagreed.

After all, a person who is anxious about their own strength can be quite frightening if they resort to any means to become stronger.

Allowing Ye Yao to receive guidance under the nose of the Countermeasures Bureau at least points her in the right direction.

But what if she figured it out herself?

Who knows if a sudden clever idea might cause the situation to spiral out of control?

I'm not afraid that Ye Yao is ambitious, but I'm afraid that she's secretly plotting how to become stronger.

"I have another question. Can Luo Jianhua and Mo Qiuli come with me?"

Ye Yao's cautious voice reached the ears of the decision-makers who were eavesdropping.

They certainly wouldn't miss something so important.

"This child's request was expected; it's impossible for him to go to an ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) unfamiliar place alone."

The group of old guys finally felt relieved.

This shows that things haven't reached the point of no return.

Ye Yao's anxiety about her abilities is entirely correctable.

Luo Jianhua could try to divert Ye Yao's attention.

Just like a struggling student interfering with a top student's studies...

wrong.

Luo Jianhua should be in the academic elite niche.

The reverse is that of a high-achieving student who interferes with the learning of struggling students.

Maybe then we can get Ye Yao back on track!

At this moment, Mo Qiuli also became more pleasing to the eyes of these old-fashioned and rigid people.

Problem kids are great!

Now it's absolutely necessary for Mo Qiuli to corrupt Ye Yao.

It would be best to take her out for a walk in the street every day.

Whether it's watching anime or wandering around aimlessly, if you spend all your time on these things, you won't have time to study.

Success is achieved as long as it slows down Ye Yao's rate of growth.

Even if Ye Yao doesn't bring it up.

They would also proactively send these friends to her side.

"To be on the safe side, it would be best to create a unique social circle for her; Luo Jianhua and Mo Qiuli alone are far from enough."

If we were to name the factor that most affects learning and progress, then "bad friends" would undoubtedly be number one.

I was all set to study from the book when my mischievous friend suddenly came over and yelled, "Log in!"

If one's mind wavers even slightly, one loses all motivation to study.

Luo Jianhua is not suited to do this kind of thing now, and Mo Qiuli's personality is even less suited to being a domineering and sarcastic friend.

The countermeasures bureau can only arrange for new peers to come into contact with Night Ballads!

First, you need to have similar interests.

Secondly, it shouldn't look like acting.

It's okay to have a few bad habits.

As long as their personality and conduct are above average, that's fine.

Back to the other side.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Yan gave his answer.

“Luo Jianhua has outstanding potential, but her strength has stagnated recently, so she is naturally qualified to receive guidance again.”

Mo Qiuli is exceptionally talented, and headquarters once wanted her to receive guidance, but unfortunately, her heart wasn't in it, so it had to be put on hold for the time being.

If she's interested in receiving guidance, she can naturally accompany us to headquarters.

This is not about using connections.

Both of them certainly deserve it.

Ye Yao seemed to exhale a breath, then continued to ask questions.

"Well... I have two more friends, can they come along too?"

"It depends on whether their situation is suitable."

Lu Yan's expression didn't change much.

His task from headquarters was to adapt to any situation and meet all of Ye Yao's needs.

At the same time, it must not be obvious that there is any special treatment being given to them.

As long as all words are reasonable and logical, that's fine.

"The zero sequence of black rice and sugar cubes."

Lu Yan gave a suitable answer after only a second of thought.

"Since they are members of the Zero Sequence, according to the signed cooperation agreement, they can freely enter and leave the headquarters, and there is no problem even if they stay at the headquarters for a long time."

"Phew, that's good."

Ye Yao let out a breath.

"And what about my parents...?"

Yu Yayin chuckled softly.

"Don't worry, we'll handle them. You just need to wait for our notification, and we'll take you to headquarters."

The conversation ended there.

The countermeasures bureau headquarters will also be mobilized soon.

There are many intricacies involved.

To prevent Ye Yao's strength from increasing too quickly, they could only provide her with fake training.

It's impossible to give her detailed instruction; I can only provide basic lessons.

If only we could cooperate with the all-around interference from our "bad friends".

Perhaps this could turn Ye Yao's studies into a simple trip.

It would be best to make up more stories about the Night Child during this period.

This would reduce Night Ballads' emphasis on strength.

If you don't make progress for a long time, and you're surrounded by easygoing friends and a relaxed atmosphere, you might quickly become complacent and fall into a rut.

According to the Countermeasures Bureau, it's only a matter of time before Ye Yao returns to a lazy and decadent lifestyle.

The premise is that everything goes smoothly.

At this point, only Lou Wei and Fu Qi remained in the conference room for a video call.

"How is the cracking of the Source Fire progressing?"

Lou Wei asked calmly.

Fu Qi sighed softly.

"Don't even mention it. That thing is a bit strange. Lin Bozhou and I have been studying it day and night for several days, but we haven't made much substantial progress."

Lou Wei narrowed his eyes.

"Even you can't crack the secret of the Source Fire?"

"I did make one discovery: the source fire you sent over seems to have been abandoned."

On my first day, I tried to activate its hidden spatial power. At first, there was a slight reaction, but it quickly fell into a dead silence.

The second attempt to activate it revealed that the spatial power had disappeared, and the flames became increasingly unstable over the next few days.

Now only a tiny flame, the size of a thumb, remains, and it could go out at any moment.

Fu Qi's tone was solemn.

"The creator of the Source Fire is estimated to be able to remotely control his creations."

Fortunately, the undercover agent planted in the high-risk sequence successfully made contact with the people in the shelter.

Learn more about the secrets of the Source Fire from the other party.

Otherwise, this game would only result in a disadvantageous situation in the strategy phase.

After all, the shelter had already infiltrated the countermeasures bureau.

The enemy's planning takes longer than the countermeasures bureau's.

They have absolutely no advantage in terms of intelligence gathering.

Being at a disadvantage can only be described as a helpless move.

Fortunately, we've managed to turn the tide.

It's not time for a complete defeat yet.

"According to the intelligence brought back by the informant, the Source Flame can grant the Fusioner new abilities, which is equivalent to one person possessing multiple superpowers. This effect is extremely powerful."

Fu Qi's expression was serious, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

He was not afraid of the mastermind behind the creation of the Source Fire.

Rather, the concern is about the potential problems caused by the source of the fire.

What does it mean to have a group of powerful superhumans with multiple abilities?

Lou Wei and Fu Qi can still handle it.

Other colleagues might find it rather difficult.

If Night Child hadn't been there last night, the shelter might have actually achieved its goal.

This is the most difficult part.

However, judging from the staff selected by the shelter.

Not everyone can make the most of the Source Fire.

Otherwise, the shelter wouldn't only select those high-risk, desperate individuals.

"Now only a few high-risk sequences have slipped through the net, and sequence zero will be dealt with."

This failure at the shelter may change the course of action, or perhaps a larger conspiracy is brewing.

We must both be vigilant to prevent that child from being directly affected.

Fu Qi was referring to Night Ballad.

They valued the shelters so much not only because the shelters were notorious for their evil deeds.

There's also the possibility that the shelter might use Night Ballads to destroy the world.

Fu Qi believes this possibility is not low.
