Signing this official contract provides huge benefits for players, giving them a lot of conveniences.

Interested players can even establish their own sects, teaching Cultivation Techniques and martial arts from the Divine Martial World; the government will also provide venues and resources.

There is no Spiritual Qi on Earth, making Techniques for practicing beyond the Qi Cultivation stage ineffective, but if someone is willing to train, reaching the peak of the Body Refinement stage is still achievable, it's just a matter of time.

Without the nourishment of Spiritual Qi, even with scientific supplements, an average person would need at least over ten years to reach the peak of the Body Refinement stage.

At the peak of the Body Refinement stage, one would be considered a superhuman in the eyes of ordinary people, able to leap over fifty to sixty meters, move at speeds over a hundred meters per second, and easily break trees and walls, but with not strong enough defenses and unable to fly, they are already a superhuman.

Lu Yu gazed into the distance, to the place where the explosion was heard yesterday. From bits and pieces on the internet, Lu Yu learned that the sound was neither fireworks nor a gas tank explosion, but was suspected to be a bomb.

Moreover, Lu Yu also felt that Earth was changing, slowly generating Spiritual Qi.

With time, when Spiritual Qi is sufficient, reaching a higher realm is not impossible.

A revival of Spiritual Qi?

Lu Yu turned his head back, opened his left eye, looked at Fei Yuqing, and said, "I can sign, but I want to designate my own management region."

"That's possible, the contract also states that players are allowed to designate their own management regions." Fei Yuqing said while glancing at Jiang Xiaoman, gesturing to her.

Jiang Xiaoman, seeing Fei Yuqing's gesture, quickly took out a black box from her handbag.

Fei Yuqing took the black box and pushed it in front of Lu Yu, saying, "This is a specialized communication device. After joining the special rapid response force, tasks will be sent through this specialized phone, which has the special rapid response force's program installed on it, allowing you to select the management region you want."

Lu Yu signed, then opened the black box, revealing a black phone with a 5.5-inch screen inside.

Just as he was about to ask Fei Yuqing for the unlock password, Fei Yuqing said first, "The device has already recorded your fingerprint, voiceprint, and iris. It has the latest smart system installed, supporting multiple unlock methods."

Upon hearing this, Lu Yu placed his thumb on the fingerprint unlock area of the screen, unlocked the phone, and entered the main interface, which had only three icons—Settings, Map, Headquarters.

Click! The sound of a photo being taken rang out. Lu Yu looked at Fei Yuqing, who smiled and said, "I sent the signed contract to the higher-ups, who will grant you authorization."

Shortly, a message popped up on the black phone, allowing Lu Yu to independently select his management area of responsibility.

Initially, it was planned to assign each player responding to the conscription to their respective areas, but considering other factors, players were allowed to choose their own management regions.

After all, choices made by the players themselves induce much less resistance than responsibilities imposed upon them.

People are always willing to take responsibility for their own choices.

Upon entering, Lu Yu frowned as he found that the area he was in had already been chosen by someone. If he selected another area, he'd have to travel over a dozen kilometers away to handle matters, which was troublesome.

Watching the position of the person in charge of this area on the map, Lu Yu turned his head and asked Fei Yuqing, "Can this area be transferred?"

"Um~" Fei Yuqing was hearing this kind of question for the first time, quickly responding, "Hold on a moment, I'll ask the higher-ups."

Soon, Fei Yuqing gave Lu Yu the answer, "It can be transferred, but only after the previous person in charge voluntarily relinquishes management rights can someone else select it again."

"I see..." Lu Yu scratched his chin, picked up the black phone, and said to Fei Yuqing, "Wait for me here."

After speaking, Lu Yu jumped out directly from the balcony.

Fei Yuqing and Jiang Xiaoman, seeing Lu Yu leap off, rushed to the balcony edge, but after quite some time, they still didn't hear the sound of Lu Yu hitting the ground.

Both returned to the sofa, saw the drinks on the coffee table, Fei Yuqing opened one and handed it to Jiang Xiaoman, "Calm your nerves."

Jiang Xiaoman accepted it, took a sip, "Ah, cough cough~"

Lu Yu unleashed his Spiritual Power, propelling himself in flight, heading toward the target location on the map.

"Xin Jiaming community, building thirteen, nineteenth floor." Lu Yu flew upward and found the nineteenth floor of building thirteen.

There were two families on the nineteenth floor. Lu Yu sensed the Spiritual Power within a room, quickly determining which family it was.

He couldn't be bothered to climb up and knock to wake the person for them to open the door; instead, he ripped open the security window, squeezed through the window into the balcony of the house.

Hearing the sound of the security window being torn, Zhou Dazhi quickly got up and vigilantly looked in Lu Yu's direction.

"Just right, you are not in the game. I have something to ask you."

Lu Yu walked into the bedroom, seeing Zhou Dazhi in pink pajamas, and said.

Zhou Dazhi said in a deep voice, "Breaking into someone's home in the middle of the night, I think you're not here to discuss, you're looking for trouble!"

Lu Yu handed him the map on the phone, saying, "Give me the management rights for this area."

"???" Question marks popped on Zhou Dazhi's face. His expression turned livid, laughing angrily, "You say it's yours and it's yours?"

"I'm negotiating with you, aren't I? Give this place to me, and you can choose any of these other areas outside the red zone." Lu Yu pointed to the other blank areas outside the red zone.

Zhou Dazhi fell silent and cursed under his breath, "Idiot!"

He immediately mobilized Spiritual Power to bind Lu Yu, intending to teach him a lesson, making Lu Yu realize the cost of disturbing his pleasant dream.

As Lu Yu sensed the Spiritual Power confining him, he casually moved his arm, and the Spiritual Power shattered, "Then there's no other way, I'll have to persuade you first."

Spiritual Power surged out from Lu Yu's body, enveloping the entire room, ensuring that the aftermath of the battle wouldn't leak out and affect others.

Zhou Dazhi sensed Lu Yu wrapping the whole room in Spiritual Power, dissolving his unleashed Spiritual Power, his face drastically changed.

In reality, Spiritual Power can't be replenished. Lu Yu dared to do this, making Zhou Dazhi extremely surprised. Moreover, feeling the endless flow of Spiritual Power from Lu Yu's body, his surprise turned to shock; how could a Qi Cultivation stage possess so much Spiritual Power?

At 2 AM, a dull thud sounded from the nineteenth floor of building thirteen.

Shortly after, a figure leaped out from the nineteenth floor and disappeared into the darkness.

Returning home, Lu Yu saw the two people who hadn't left yet and said, "Didn't you say it could be transferred? He relinquished it; why can't I select now?"

After Fei Yuqing contacted the higher-ups, they approved Zhou Dazhi's application to relinquish the management area. Lu Yu successfully selected the area where his home was as his responsible region.

Receiving Zhou Dazhi's area relinquishment application in the middle of the night surprised his superior, thinking Zhou Dazhi had changed his mind, intending to abandon cooperation with the officials, almost rushing to Zhou Dazhi's residence for a face-to-face inquiry.

Learning from Fei Yuqing that Lu Yu persuaded Zhou Dazhi to relinquish voluntarily, his superior was both amused and realized this was a very serious issue.

Now with Lu Yu setting the precedent, it wouldn't be unlikely for others to attempt this. Should confrontations among the Martial Cultivators spill over to civilians, their drafting bureau would bear full responsibility.

Fei Yuqing's superior couldn't sleep and urgently gathered their strategy team in the drafting bureau to study new strategies for delineating management regions.

Allowing players to freely choose management regions might maximize the reduction of resistance from players being forcibly drafted, but it could also lead to conflicts among players being sparked.

A more reasonable, compromise-oriented regional division strategy is needed.

Importantly, the situation hasn't reached its most critical stage, with most areas only lacking capable guardians to ward off demons, rather than the widespread emergence of demons.

Starting to recruit and draft players now prepares for more stringent compulsory drafting measures in the future. Players, once used to being drafted, become accustomed to executing assignments, developing a task-completion habit.

Subsequent unified structuring, centralized management, regional scheduling, all such activities, presented as tasks, wouldn't induce much resistance in players accustomed to task completion; rather, they may think completing missions from above is what they should do.

In a sense, the government uses the approach of boiling frogs in warm water, easing players into submission and adaptation to the government's arrangements.

Fei Yuqing and Jiang Xiaoman left Lu Yu's home with the contracts.

The contract comes in three copies, one paper version, and two electronic versions. The paper version will be stored in the drafting bureau's confidential document archive, while the electronic versions reside in the black phone given to Lu Yu and in the Hua Country's confidential electronic document database.
