Gao Wu: My setting is above yours.

Chapter 16 Dropping Out

After hearing what Xiao Chi said, Xia Ming finally understood the current situation in society.

For the past ten years or so, he has either been at home or at school.

Occasionally, I would go to a martial arts gym outside for extra training in the evenings, which was in a relatively safe environment.

Even when they need to go out, they ride in Xia Yuan's car, and are secretly protected by others.

I only knew that society outside was chaotic, but I never had a precise idea of ​​just how chaotic it was.

Now that I understand, I have to face a choice between two equally desirable but mutually exclusive options.

"Should I continue to take the college entrance exam and enter a martial arts academy?"

"I'll still assist my dad and help him maintain his position as the head of the Public Security Bureau!"

Choosing either one means losing the other's resources.

Needless to say, the academy has a mature cultivation system, and you can meet teachers with higher levels of skill at the martial arts university.

Various martial arts leagues, cup competitions, and even intercontinental and world championships will be held throughout the country.

There are also some resources that are exclusive to the college.

These resources are allocated directly to the college by the state, bypassing the municipal party committee; they are allocated directly to the education department by the State Resources Administration.

Then it is used to improve the martial artists in the academy.

"but……"

"If my father loses this official position, although he should have no major problems with food and clothing, he will receive far fewer privileges."

Xia Ming said this in all fairness.

I am proud of my achievements and my ability to reach the Xuan rank at the age of eighteen.

Firstly, I have decent talent, a firm mind, and good comprehension.

However, without my father's many years of resource investment, it would be impossible.

At most, I am just a martial artist who has just entered the Yellow Rank.

She's only slightly better than Ye Wen and Li Siyun.

Troublesome.

Xia Ming's mind was in a whirlwind, so much so that he didn't even notice when Xiao Chi left.

After more than an hour of thought and deliberation.

In the end, Xia Ming made up his mind.

Drop out of school!

I won't take the college entrance exam, nor will I go to any martial arts university in other places.

He did his best to assist his father in maintaining his position as the head of the Public Security Bureau.

Faced with the choice between the two, Xia Ming roughly equated the resources his father provided with the growth opportunities offered by the future Martial Arts University.

The real reason Xia Ming decided to assist his father was that once he helped his father resolve these cases in Yunjin City...

The father might still have a chance to advance further, after all, Xia Ming was also certain that other cities in the province and even the country were facing the same problem.

The public security situation in Yunjin City is phenomenal!

Even if they retain their original official positions, their voice in the city and at the provincial level will be enhanced.

This means that...

In terms of resources in the entire Yunjin City and its surrounding areas, they are at least T1 level competitors.

Who knows, he might become the "underground tyrant" of Yunjin City.

Xia Ming believed that the benefits of having the entire city's resources support him were far more worthwhile than attending any martial arts university.

Decided!

Now that he had decided to join the Public Security Bureau, Xia Ming needed to consider one more question.

How can I help my father solve these cases?

Don't start out full of enthusiasm only to end up changing nothing; that way, you won't get either fish or bear's paw.

Xia Ming looked inward at himself and then at his third entry.

Talent attributes.

"Yes, for this third entry, try to choose the investigation type. Although I have profound mental strength, it's just like being able to see further when solving cases."

"To solve these cases more directly, I need a skill, preferably one that can uncover subtle evidence and is useful in combat."

Xia Ming picked up his phone and sent a message to Xiao Chi.

Xiao Chi didn't leave; he was downstairs handling something.

After waiting for twenty minutes, Xiao Chi came up.

"Xia Ming, I saw you were deep in thought earlier, so I didn't greet you. What's wrong? Did you come up with something?"

Although Xiao Chi looked exhausted, he still managed to force a smile for Xia Ming.

"Brother Xiao, I'd like to join the Public Security Bureau."

?

This completely baffled Xiao Chi.

Everyone knows that Xia Ming is one of the top geniuses in the city.

It is said that the awakening of the entry was not ideal, but the Xuan-level cultivation level was genuine.

He went to a martial arts university in a big city to hone his skills for four years.

Strive to break through to the Heavenly Realm, and then whether you stay at the school or join the army, you will have a bright future.

Why did you even think of dropping out of school?

Xia Ming didn't explain, only saying that his mind was made up, and Xiao Chi didn't say anything more.

"Brother Xiao, I called you here to ask where I can find information or files about powerful martial artists from ancient times, or even from around the world?"

"I want to see their abilities and cultivation methods. I've recently hit a bottleneck and am thinking about whether I can find another way."

Xiao Chi didn't doubt anything after hearing this, after all, Xia Ming was a Xuan-level expert, and it was normal for him, a fifth-level martial artist, not to understand.

He answered almost instantly: "It's in our police station's archives."

"Huh? You have them all?"

Xia Ming was surprised. He thought he would need to use his connections to look for a job in another unit, but it turned out to be right in his own home.

Uh... no, it's at the police station.

Xiao Chi waved his hand and laughed, "Of course not all of them. Only those from our city are relatively complete. There are also some from surrounding cities and some from overseas, but they are relatively few."

"However, we do have the ancient archives you mentioned, because these are deciphered by the state and then distributed to various departments for filing and research."

"What if there's a breakthrough?"

Xia Ming's eyes lit up upon hearing this: the ancient times!

it is good!

What we need is information on ancient powerful beings, since spiritual energy has only recently recovered and powerful individuals can't yet discern its true nature.

However, if you look back at history, it becomes very clear.

So, Xiao Chi drove Xia Ming to the Municipal Bureau's archives.

With special permission, the two were able to enter the room without any problems.

"Here, the ancient martial artist files you requested are in that room. It's best not to touch the others; they're all case files, and losing them will cause trouble."

"it is good."

Xia Ming's eyes were fixed on the room Xiao Chi had pointed to, and he walked straight there.

Pushing open the wooden door, you'll find some ordinary filing cabinets inside.

Although there was a desk in the center of the room, it was covered in dust and there wasn't a single book on it.

It seems the country hopes everyone can study this martial arts history, but it seems my dad and his family aren't very interested in it.

That's true. Everyone's too busy outside to bother with studying history.

But Xia Ming was different; he wanted to learn from the records of his predecessors to broaden his horizons!

then……

Write down a talent entry for yourself.

After all, I've tried before; wishful thinking won't work—those superhuman abilities from myths and novels.

What about "omniscience and omnipotence" and the "law of cause and effect"?

It disappears as soon as it's written down; it never existed at all.

Only by reviewing history can you find a talent attribute for yourself!

Xia Ming randomly opened a folder and picked up a book from it.
