Chapter 25: Fire-based Abilities Are Not That Common (1/2)

“Negotiation?” Lin Yuhui finally came to his senses from the overwhelming flood of information, and his tone was somewhat nervous.

Liu Su smiled kindly and said, “Rest assured, this negotiation is definitely beneficial for you.”

“But it’s not without harm,” Shen Cheng added with a smile, making Liu Su’s smile become slightly stiff.

“But I bet you won’t refuse,” Shao Silin spoke confidently and bluntly said, “First of all, regarding the existence of demi-humans, the nation has already taken a stance and formulated a policy, although this policy has not yet been made public. This policy is ‘harmonious coexistence.’”

“Harmonious coexistence?” Shen Cheng raised an eyebrow.

It was unexpected, but in Hua Nation, it was also expected.

“Because they inherently possess human-like functional structures and linguistic intelligence, but carry some characteristics distinct from humans.”

Shao Silin showed a trace of helplessness as he continued, “Given the nearly zero probability of demi-humans being directly accepted by society, the authorities decided to secretly integrate some demi-humans into society to gradually change people’s thoughts. However, up till now, there has been no substantial progress.”

“So, you have your eyes on my Cat Café?” Shen Cheng instantly understood their intentions and spread his hands helplessly.

Indeed, they were here for his Cat Café.

“Yes, it sounds absurd, but in less than a week, you achieved a significant breakthrough compared to the countless time and effort spent by the authorities.”

At this point, Shao Silin turned unusually serious: “Initially, our mission was to discreetly detain you if we discovered any signs of abuse towards demi-humans, then take over your Cat Café and demi-humans in the name of the state.”

“But I didn’t,” Shen Cheng casually replied, ignoring Shao Silin’s threatening language. In fact, he was quite satisfied with the authorities’ actions in protecting demi-humans.

“That’s for the best,” Shao Silin sighed in relief, “If that’s not the case, then we sincerely invite you to join the Bio-Scientific Institute as a Specialized Agent, to actively accept more demi-humans into your Cat Café and, in return, we will provide you with a satisfying reward.”

“What if I refuse?” Shen Cheng asked, testing the waters.

“Well, actually, I do recommend you join the Bio-Scientific Institute. After all, the identities and accounts of your demi-humans haven’t been settled yet, have they? Plus, joining the Bio-Scientific Institute gives you an official background, which can deter some petty trouble…”

“You don’t need to say more. I was merely curious,” Shen Cheng waved it off. Just for the sake of Cheese, Sugar, and the others, he had already decided to join the organization.

The official background and such were not particularly appealing to Shen Cheng.

“Then please sign this contract!” Shao Silin laughed and took out two contracts from a briefcase, handing them to Shen Cheng and Lin Yuhui.

“Wait.” Shen Cheng suddenly reached out to stop the contract handed to Lin Yuhui and said flatly, “According to your statement, this operation carries some risks, correct?”

“Correct!” Liu Su nodded and continued, “Some demi-humans have the potential to be threatening and aggressive towards human society, but collecting such demi-humans is within our mission scope. “In addition, besides our country’s Bio-Scientific Institute, organizations in other countries also have different attitudes towards demi-humans and constantly obstruct each other’s policies, such as Eryndel’s Sakura Club, Zephyria’s Dawn Research Institute, and Caldria’s Eno Laboratory. We frequently encounter their troublesome agents during our efforts to collect demi-humans.”

“Does it pose a threat to life?”

“Within our country, those agents would restrain themselves somewhat, at least not acting overtly…”

Liu Su stopped mid-sentence, but Shen Cheng and Lin Yuhui fully understood its implications.
