The Mysterious World Under Steampunk

After the fifth day, the people from the Special Bureau finally came to find Jason. Of course, their purpose was not for the death of a dock worker, Jason was their goal.

However, what they didn't expect was that Jason had already expressed his willingness to join the special round before they could exert their strength, which made them feel uncomfortable with punching the empty space.

At this time, they couldn't help but think of Jason's network and the Nelsons, thinking that someone had greeted them before them.

Although the methods that had been prepared for several days were not used, they were still relieved that the goal was successfully achieved.

While recruiting Jason, the Special Bureau naturally needed to test Jason's strength in order to decide what position to give Jason.

In fact, in the past, the entry into the special bureau was not as simple as it is now. It needed to pass the review of the headquarters, the right to recommend after the branch, and even a few years of internship after entry.

The reason for being so cautious is mainly because the special bureau has a lot of power and is directly responsible to the king and the Supreme Council. It can arrest all nobles below the grand duke for no reason without just suspicion.

However, in recent years, incidents involving extraordinary forces in the entire Kingdom of England have increased rapidly, from only one or two incidents a year to dozens of incidents a year now, and the manpower of the Special Bureau has been seriously insufficient.

For this reason, the Special Bureau had to delegate the power of recruiting personnel to the branches of each city, allowing the branches to recruit a certain number of personnel on their own. While the recruitment power was delegated, other powers were correspondingly weakened. For example, arresting nobles must pass They can only be arrested with the approval of the headquarters, otherwise they can only be monitored by normal means.

However, the power of arrest is still flexible. As long as the head of the special bureau thinks that the arrest target has reached the point where it endangers the peace of the kingdom, he can skip the review and directly order the arrest or even kill. However, supplementary review is required afterwards. Material.

Of course, there are also some disadvantages in this. For example, if there is a mistake in the arrest, and the arrestee does not have any behavior that endangers the peace of the kingdom, then the branch chief who ordered the arrest needs to be responsible for the matter in order to appease the grievances of the nobles, so Many irresponsible branch chiefs will choose to use more gentle means to deal with such matters, and will not directly order arrests.

Just like the head of the Special Bureau Branch in Port of Dorset is such an irresponsible person. In fact, they already know why Jason’s subordinates died, and they also know who did it. But because of his status, he dare not act rashly. Send people to arrest.

Although the division chief was a bit weak, he cared very much about the recruitment and training of his subordinates. He was responsible for almost all the ability tests of his subordinates, and Jason's test was no exception.

Perhaps it was because of prior investigations that the Special Bureau didn't have much expectation of Jason's strength, because Jason's previous records were in melees with street gangs, and usually there were a lot of porters around as helpers, allowing him to fight in melees. Not conspicuous.

It's just that when the special bureau began to conduct various tests on Jason, they realized that they really got a baby this time.

After Leo's special training, Jason's giant bloodline power can't be said to have been fully developed, but in terms of physical strength and various combat abilities, these two abilities should have been developed to the limit of the current stage. Competing with the third-level psykers, and in the Special Bureau of Port of Dorset, the third-level psykers are already considered top-notch existences, and there are only two or three in total.

Jason's power was enough to shock the people in the special bureau, but what shocked them even more was Jason's body. The giant blood gave Jason a very strong resistance to extraordinary power, almost immune to the current special bureau. Every kind of illusion and spiritual power, and some other direct damage powers can also have strong endurance and endurance. Even if the body is injured, it can recover quickly. It is simply a natural special agent.

As for Jason's attack power, almost no one dares to be Jason's opponent. Whether it is the scimitar full of curse power or the shockingly large hand cannon, no one dares to be confident that he will be able to fight against the attack of these weapons. well-preserved.

After knowing Jason's strength, the subsequent entry into the job is naturally much easier. Jason skipped the two stages of trainee agent and first-level agent and became a second-level agent.

The second-level agent is already the highest level of agent that can be authorized by the Special Bureau of Scitech. If you want to go further, you need to obtain a certain attack or length of service. After going to the headquarters for training, you can grant higher authority and positions.

However, for Jason, the power of the second-level detective was strong enough. Although he could not directly arrest nobles and politicians, he had great power over ordinary people, and he could also mobilize some police officers when necessary.

Moreover, in order to win over Jason, the Special Bureau also used some connections and practiced some dignitaries of the Municipal Council who had a good relationship with the Special Bureau, which had some influence on the list of persons in charge of the large cargo terminal to be announced, and finally made the original plan still need The final list of persons in charge, which will be announced in two days, was announced on the day Jason joined the Special Bureau, and this person was naturally Jason.

After the news came out, it caused some small fluctuations in the upper echelon of Dorset Port. After all, Jason's victory was beyond some people's expectations, and the people waiting for the final result in the dock area of ​​Dorset Port were also confused by the news.

However, the vast majority of other ordinary people returned to normal after being stunned. After all, the change of the person in charge of the large freight terminal did not mean anything to them, and it would not have any impact on their lives.

Only a small number of people who rely on this big pier for their livelihood are particularly nervous about who was elected as the person in charge, but they obviously had the wrong chips in advance. Jason's election had to make them start thinking about how to face the new person in charge and what to use. Things can impress the new person in charge after he takes office and not touch their current interests.

Compared with these people, the members of the porters union immediately fell into the carnival after getting the news, and Jason's tavern on the pier also opened up to serve free drinks to celebrate.

Undoubtedly, Jason's election is no less than a leapfrog improvement for the porters' union. In the past, the handling of goods at the large freight terminal was controlled by various gangsters and other forces, and the porters' union could not get involved.

But now that Jason has been elected as the person in charge of the large freight terminal, the cargo handling business here will naturally be controlled by the porters union. Not only the porters union itself can benefit from this, even ordinary porter members can benefit from it. There is a lot of income here.

Some people have estimated that if the porters union takes over the handling business of the large freight terminal, then the monthly income of all porters union members will at least double, or even more.

After leaving the Special Bureau, Jason, the person involved, did not return to the pier area to have a carnival with his wife and subordinates. Instead, he came to Leo's apartment and told Leo everything he had experienced in the Special Bureau. .

"It seems that you will have a lot of trouble in the future!" Leo put down the test tube gently while listening to Jason's words, turned his head and said, "Since they have invested so much resources in you in advance, let You have obtained such a great power from the beginning, and you will definitely get enough benefits from you in the future."

Jason naturally understood the meaning of Leo's words, he was silent for a while, and frowned, "Am I being too prominent?"

Leo shook his head and said, "No, you performed just right. In a place like the Special Bureau, you need to show your strength. Only when you let them truly understand that your strength exceeds their expectations, will they treat you If you pay attention to it, you will be entrusted with important tasks and given you enough power. This is a deal. If you have not shown yourself to be strong enough, you may be just a trainee agent now, not just the cannon fodder at the bottom, but also With no power, there will be no less trouble befalling you."

"What should I do next?" Jason hesitated and asked.

"Don't do anything!" Leo suggested: "You don't have the identity of the special bureau now, you are just the current person in charge of the large cargo terminal, what you need to do is to manage the large cargo terminal and rebuild the terminal area order."

"It's that simple?" Jason was taken aback, wondering.

"This matter is not easy." Leo saw that Jason didn't take the difficulties he was about to face at all, so he reminded: "I took the time these two days to understand the situation in the dock area, the forces inside the dock area Intricate, not only the dignitaries of Dorset Port have intervened in the dock area, but even the dignitaries outside Dorset Port have arranged manpower here. I have to admire the manager before you for being able to manage the large cargo terminal in an orderly manner. , did not make a single mistake, it is also due to his ability that he obtained his current status and benefits, and enjoyed his old age peacefully."

Jason didn't quite believe Leo's words. In his opinion, Leo had only been in Port of Dorset for less than a month, so how could he understand the situation in Port of Dorset? Is it complicated? Why haven't I discovered it for so many years?"

"You used to be the president of the porters' union, and you only met low-level people. You didn't know the real situation in the dock area." Leo didn't care that his opinion was denied, and he saw him from the desk next to him. , picked up a book that was pressed at the bottom, threw it to Jason, and said, "Open it and have a look."

Jason froze for a moment, looked down at the book, and found that it was the record book of freight handling in the dock area in the previous year.

"How did you get this thing?" Jason remembers that such notebooks are usually kept in the archives of the management building in the dock area. Although it is not important, the archives are still guarded, and no one can easily enter the archives. take things. But thinking of Leo's ability, he felt that he had asked a stupid question, so he changed his words: "Why did you take this thing?"

Leo said flatly: "It's nothing, just make preparations in advance."

"Prepare in advance?" Jason thought for a while, and soon understood the meaning of Leo's words, and asked in surprise, "Did you guess in advance that I would be the person in charge of the large cargo terminal?"

Leo nodded, and said: "As long as the special bureau comes to you, then you will definitely be able to become the person in charge of the large cargo terminal, even if someone in charge has already been selected."

Jason speculated: "You mean that the Special Bureau is also interested in the cargo terminal?"

"The Special Bureau of Sorset Port was only established two years ago. Although it has certain powers, its control over Sorset Port is very weak, and there is almost no way to penetrate into the interior," Leo explained: "This time your appearance , It is a good opportunity for them, even if your strength is not enough to shock them, they will definitely help you sit in the position of the person in charge of the large cargo terminal, so that the special bureau can truly penetrate the interior of Scitech Port. "

Jason said with a little displeasure: "Isn't it a little redundant for me to work so hard before?"

"Of course it won't be redundant." Leo smiled and said, "If you don't sell your performance and show your strength, you will only become a pawn in the special game in the end, and a flag that can be discarded at any time , but although you are still a chess piece, you are a commanding chess piece that can determine the outcome. Even if something happens to you, you will not be discarded at will. So what you have to do now is to show as much as possible Your management ability and control ability will let the top of the special bureau see that you are not only powerful, but also a qualified manager, so that you can truly become the top of the special bureau.” Then, he pointed Pointing to the notebook in Jason's hand, he said, "But those are things for the future. All you have to do now is to understand what difficulties you have to face."

Hearing what Leo said, Jason didn't ask any more questions, but honestly opened the notebook in his hand. Some scribbled records appeared in his sight like a bible, which made him feel a little dizzy. I'm dizzy, I can't stand it at all.

Finally, after flipping through a few pages, he finally couldn't bear to close the notebook, and said, "Just tell me what secrets are in the notebook. If you let me look for it like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to find it for a few years." can be found."

"Just look at the last number." Leo didn't answer directly, but reminded him a little.

Jason sighed helplessly, opened the record book again, and then turned to the last page to record the total annual cargo throughput. At first, he didn't think this number was special, but soon he remembered that he used to After reading the warehouse goods entry and exit record book, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said: "How is this possible? The annual quantity of goods entering and exiting the entire freight terminal is not as good as the quantity of goods entering and exiting my warehouse?" In surprise Besides, he quickly thought of the reason, and exclaimed in surprise, "Smuggling, this is smuggling!"

Leo corrected with a smile: "You are wrong when you say that. If one person does this, it is smuggling. If a small group of people do this, it is also called smuggling. But if the rich and powerful of the whole country are doing this It's called smuggling."
