The light in Qin Yang's eyes flickered, unexpectedly, this Sea of Consciousness Golden Spirit Fruit came from the Secret Realm. It seems that the Secret Realm on Earth might not be as low-level as he initially thought.
"Old man, where and when was the last opening of the Secret Realm?"
Qin Yang looked at Old Qiao and asked.
"You don't know? Didn't your sect tell you?"
Old Qiao scrutinized Qin Yang with suspicion. He knew Qin Yang practiced Daoist Skills, and such an important event, his master or sect surprisingly hadn't informed Qin Yang.
"No, they didn't."
Qin Yang shook his head; his sect was on the Immortal Yuan Continent, so where would there be a sect for him on Earth?
"The last opening of the Secret Realm was three years ago, at the Kunlun Mountain Peak. However, where it will open next is unknown."
Old Qiao said, the location of the Secret Realm's appearance isn't fixed each time.
"Did your Special Security Department send people last time?"
Qin Yang asked.
"Yes, the opportunities inside the Secret Realm are considerable, attracting various forces of all sizes in Huaxia. Of course, our Special Security Department also sent elites."
Old Qiao nodded and said.
Hearing this, Qin Yang's gaze slightly narrowed. He remembered Bi Luoyue told him the Secret Realm opens once every four years, so it seemed there was still one year until the next opening.
"Alright, young Qin Yang, let's head out. Since you've chosen two items, it signifies you've joined our Special Security Department. Next, we must discuss the responsibilities and duties you will undertake, as well as the rights you will have after joining."
Old Qiao said with a smile.
"Alright, let's go out."
Qin Yang nodded.
At that moment, Qin Yang was in high spirits. Obtaining the Ninefold Prison Peak and the Sea of Consciousness Golden Spirit Fruit this time exceeded his expectations before he came.
On the second floor of the small building in the center of the military camp, Old Qiao handed a document to Qin Yang with a smile.
"Young Qin Yang, this is your document."
Old Qiao said.
Qin Yang took the black document, its cover embossed with the words "Special Security Department."
Opening it, there was a photo of Qin Yang, beneath which his name, birth date, and military rank were labeled, bearing the Special Security Department's steel stamp.
"Major?!"
Qin Yang was slightly surprised, the rank was actually Major.
It should be known that the rank of Major is primarily the rank of senior field-grade officers, but in the Special Security Department, it carries even more weight.
"Haha, young Qin Yang, no need to be surprised. Our Special Security Department maintains the country's stability, and everyone inside is an elite. Generally, new members are directly granted the rank of Captain, and after achievements, they're awarded the rank of Major. The old man knows you're quite capable, so he simply granted you the rank of Major directly. How about it? Are you pleased?"
Old Qiao said with a smile.
Qin Yang smiled, this old fox, outwardly it seems he's doing him a favor, but in essence, he hopes Qin Yang will contribute more effort.
Qin Yang flipped to the back, and on the second page were several rights granted to the holder, such as in an emergency, the local military and police could be asked to assist. Furthermore, if the holder is involved in criminal cases, the local government could not detain or arrest them.
"Young Qin Yang, those listed are the holder's rights. Now, the old man will tell you about the duties you must fulfill."
Old Qiao said with a laugh, finally having recruited this young man.
"Alright, tell me, but first, after joining your Special Security Department, it shouldn't take up too much of my time."
Qin Yang nodded and said.
Upon hearing this, Old Qiao's face twitched. He hadn't even made any demands yet, but this young man already stated his own conditions, making him difficult to manage in the future.
"First, do not harm innocent people in the Mortal Realm freely; our Special Security Department is there to protect the people."
Old Qiao said solemnly.
"Don't worry, old man, you think I have nothing better to do? Unless some idiots provoke me, I wouldn't bother dealing with them."
Qin Yang nodded, as with his personality, he certainly wouldn't harm innocent people casually.
However, if some people were unintelligent and provoked him without reason, Qin Yang wouldn't hold back. Anyone crossing his bottom line would be duly punished.
"Yes, that's good. The old man trusts you on this point."
Old Qiao said, having investigated Qin Yang, they found that although he acted decisively, he had never initiated harm against others.
"The second is, if you see an Ancient Martial Artist committing evil in the Mortal Realm, you have the obligation to capture them, and if encountered with an extremely violent person, you may use lethal force if necessary."
Old Qiao said seriously.
The vast majority of Ancient Martial Artists see themselves as above others and usually stay within their sects to cultivate, rarely causing trouble in the Mortal Realm. However, some Ancient Martial Artists rely on their skills to commit evil in the Mortal Realm, requiring the Special Security Department to take action.
"Alright, if I see it, I'll handle it accordingly."
Qin Yang nodded, it wasn't a big deal to him since he had been in Yunshui City for over three months yet hadn't seen any rogue Ancient Martial Artists.
"The third is when there are tasks that require your participation, you must participate."
Old Qiao said.
"Alright, but old man, I don't want to bother with ordinary tasks. I don't plan to be a permanent worker for you, so at most, I'll complete two or three tasks a year."
Qin Yang said, as his main time would be devoted to cultivation and he couldn't frequently go out on missions.
"Alright, we'll go with that."
Old Qiao thought for a moment and nodded in agreement. This young man is indeed sharp and cunning, but the Special Security Department's tasks aren't excessively numerous each year, only deploying when faced with thorny issues. As long as this young man performs in two or three important tasks, it would suffice.
"Old man, then it's settled."
Qin Yang said with a smile.
"Yes, indeed. Oh, here, take this watch."
Old Qiao took a delicate black watch handed by Jiang Huo'Er and passed it to Qin Yang.
"What's this?"
Qin Yang was a bit surprised.
"This is a solar-powered communication watch, it can be used to make calls. It has numbers for the old man, Xiao Lei, Huo'Er, and local colleagues from the Special Security Department."
Old Qiao said.
"A solar-powered communication watch? Quite high-tech, does it not need charging?"
Qin Yang was a bit surprised. He knew Apple Inc. had recently released a watch, but that Apple watch needed to connect with an Apple phone to function and its battery life was limited.
"Correct." Old Qiao nodded.
"Old man, since we have this technology, why not promote it more widely?"
Qin Yang asked.
"This watch is made by experts at our Science Academy using special metals. The cost is high, and the quantity is extremely limited. It can be used as a regular watch, but during missions, we will contact you."
Old Qiao said.
"Alright, I'll wear it then."
Qin Yang nodded, the black strap was made of some kind of black metal, exuding a profound black luster, and it looked quite high-end when worn.
