"I want an evaluation form."
Cheng Ye almost instinctively spoke up.
Speaking more leads to more mistakes. The experience he gained from Towns made him not want to ask any questions now.
Because no matter what the answer was, he didn't have the ability to verify it.
As for what he wanted, naturally, it was the evaluation form required for promotion from an intern.
In addition, he was completely inexperienced in intelligence gathering on his first covert mission, making it hard to judge how much time had passed.
Fortunately, judging by Lei Hu's expression, it seemed no more than two or three seconds had passed, and it didn't arouse suspicion.
"Sure." Lei Hu laughed heartily, got up and returned to his desk. From the drawer, he pulled out three blank evaluation forms. "As an Inspector from the Eastern People, I've never withheld anyone's evaluation form. As long as you have the ability, I'll give you a full set at once!"
He made a large stroke and filled them all with full marks.
Then, he picked up the station master's stamp from the table, made three light sounds, executing the action in one smooth motion.
"Here, take them."
Lei Hu pushed the forms over and suddenly seemed to remember something, looking up to ask, "Did you get the three from the North Station?"
"I did."
"That makes things easier. Wait for me..." he said, as he turned back to pull out three more evaluation forms from the drawer, skillfully repeating the previous action.
"With Station Chief He's sacrificial death, the Central Station's inspection work is currently overseen by Station Chief Ding on an acting basis, and as for the Inspector's assessments, they're temporarily under my management."
Is it all done?
Looking at the six evaluation forms in front of him, Cheng Ye was stunned for a moment, then stood up, "Thank you, Station Chief Lei!"
"No need to thank me. Being able to take down an Advanced Fusion Body, your strength has long surpassed the intern phase."
Lei Hu waved his hand, signaling him to sit down, "During the internship and the first phase, the focus is on testing an Inspector's operational ability. Your inspection ability earns a perfect score from me, but field duty is also an important factor in an Inspector's capabilities."
"After completing the duty at the South Station, start preparing. Only after entering the first phase and gaining independent authority can you be considered a true Inspector. At that time, you will find that you can do much more than now."
"Understood."
Cheng Ye nodded, his tone steady, "Thank you for trusting me, Station Chief Lei."
"Good, go on to your field duty. The dangers at the B gate for quarantine aren't much less than those at the A gate, and the inspection methods differ. If you can smoothly complete this duty cycle, I can promise to fulfill another request of yours."
Lei Hu smiled, not saying more, just lifted his teacup, signaling the conversation was over.
Cheng Ye put the evaluation forms into his backpack and got up to leave. As he pushed the door open, rain mixed with wind rushed in.
The slight chill instantly refreshed him, prompting a shiver that raised the hair on his skin.
But what followed was an uncontrollable excitement within him.
Compared to the six evaluation forms in hand, the unintended gain from intelligence gathering was the true cause for his quickened pulse.
With a thought, the interface panel unfolded.
A new prompt appeared at the bottom of the main page.
[Intelligence Subject: Lei Hu]
[Designated Direction: Related to the Collector]
[Intelligence Quality: 0.7 level (Information quality decreased by 0.3 after designation)]
[Current Rewind Count Available: 4]
[Note: Upon first viewing of intelligence, time in the mental space freezes relative to reality]
[Note: While replaying intelligence, the time flow rate of intelligence space to the main world is 500 to 1]
[Note: While replaying intelligence, the Collector should ensure they are in an absolutely safe state]
[Note: Once replay attempts are exhausted, the intelligence will automatically be destroyed]
"You can actually replay it?"
Sweeping his gaze across the lines of prompts, Cheng Ye felt a trace of joy in his heart.
The functionality of the Collector far exceeded what he imagined!
Although intelligence doesn't provide the immediate strength boost like a skill, at this moment, it gave him a key piece of information.
Liu Kun is coming to the South Station?
And he's going to disguise himself to enter the B gate where he's on duty?
Although Cheng Ye had fantasized countless times about searching Extraordinary, he didn't expect this day to arrive so suddenly.
And.
It seemed to be a rare opportunity!
"Liu Kun entering disguised, doesn't that mean... I can find a way to increase our compliance rate?"
The thought flashed by, and his heart immediately raced uncontrollably.
Jiang Chuan, even in a symbiotic residue state, had a Level 5 skill.
Liu Kun, being an Extraordinary, certainly possesses Level 5 or even Level 6 skills.
Although the Collector currently can't acquire these yet.
But the difference is, Jiang Chuan in the symbiotic residue state consumed energy for searches just like an ordinary person, indicating his Life Level hadn't changed.
Whereas Zhang Can, Cheng Ye vividly remembers, even with a 100% compliance rate, the chance of discovering a Level 1 skill was only 15%, and only 1% for a Level 2 skill.
"Back then, the Collector hadn't been upgraded, only at the intern phase."
"I wonder if my upgrade to Newcomer would increase the odds of searching for an Extraordinary?"
Compared to searching for items, skills are obviously more tempting.
As Cheng Ye pondered, his feet didn't stop moving, heading straight downstairs.
To advance from intern, he needed to complete assessments at three stations, obtain nine evaluation forms, and complete a field duty task with a B-level or higher rating, without any major incidents midway.
Usually, it takes about a year or two to complete these processes.
Currently, Harlem holds the record within the inspection station, taking six months and five days.
And he, having taken just over three months, already obtained the hardest part, the nine evaluation forms, and was very likely to break the record Harlem holds.
Because achieving a B-level or higher rating in field duty is not particularly difficult.
