If it weren't for archaeology, he wouldn't have failed, and he already had a shadow in his heart.
At first... it was like this.
However, what the other party said made Shiyu a bit concerned.
There were only 11 people in the entire Donghuang Ancient Kingdom who could listen to the sounds of history, including himself?
More rare than legendary beast masters, more rare than totem guardians?
He looked at Eleven behind the tree, never expecting that the national treasure would be himself.
But why was it always the number eleven? How much of a connection did he have with eleven?
Shiyu temporarily put aside useless thoughts. He thought that since he was so rare, theoretically, if he joined this organization, the treatment would be very good, right?
Now that he was exposed, and the other party had come to invite him sincerely, he could only understand and see for himself.
"Then, the place you want to invite me to join... where is it?"
"How about the benefits?"
Shiyu fell silent for a moment, probing.
Lu Qingyi smiled and said, "The benefits are naturally very good. Even if you become a legendary beast master, you won't have such good benefits."
"Basically, after becoming a formal member of the organization, your status will be above that of a legendary beast master."
"If you want to explore any ruins, applying for huge resources and even getting a legendary beast master as a bodyguard is not impossible."
Shiyu's mouth opened slightly.
The president of the Beast Master Association in Ice Plain City was only a top master, not yet at the legendary level.
Legendary level, that was a super level capable of commanding overlord-level creatures, basically holding important positions in first-tier cities!
The place the other party wanted to invite him to join was so powerful?
It made sense... after all, according to what the other party said, those who possessed this talent were all high-end talents.
Even the secret realm he accidentally summoned as a beginner had such great value, let alone the skills of professionals.
Listening to this... joining didn't seem like a loss?
Relying on the organization would be like having a cool breeze at his back, taking off directly.
"Being killed by archaeology in my previous life, I start to rise from archaeology in this life"?
Shiyu's heart was slightly moved, because what the other party offered was really too much.
Directly going from a low-level, debt-ridden beast master to a legendary-level big shot sounded very tempting.
"If I join, what obligations do I need to fulfill?"
"Almost none. The organization's structure is very simple, and everyone's actions are very free. Tasks are freely chosen and not mandatory."
Lu Qingyi looked at the sky. Although she said this, which beast master with such talent would be idle?
Whenever new information about mythological ruins appeared, those who could listen to the sounds of history would definitely be the first to rush in, assisting in exploration or becoming exploration leaders.
After all, normal people wouldn't awaken this special ability.
"None at all??"
Shiyu was stunned. So relaxed?
That meant, as long as he didn't do anything reckless, even after joining, he wouldn't have to go on dangerous missions?
On the contrary, if he occasionally wanted to do something reckless and had a need, he could apply for a large amount of resources, bodyguards, and information?
Shiyu's heart was slightly moved again.
"So, what is the name of the organization?"
"National Land Relic Strategic Investigation and Support Bureau. According to the number, it can also be called Bureau Eleven. You can understand that the personnel of this organization are special forces in the field of archaeology, and the organization is a special department dedicated to handling various important relics."
Eleven again!
Shiyu was already used to it. Names could be ignored.
After Lu Qingyi finished speaking, Shiyu fell into deep thought. The name of the organization sounded quite high-end, so, should he join?
After asking so much, the other party had come to invite him, and he had such a special talent, not joining seemed hard to handle.
"Since that's the case, I'll join."
In the end, Shiyu took a deep breath. Joining was no big deal!
Since it didn't restrict his freedom, ultimately, whether to do something reckless or not was up to him. He just needed to be a bit more cautious.
He wouldn't admit that he wanted to return to his old job.
"Dr. Lu, are you also a member of Bureau Eleven?"
"Um, currently, including you and me, Bureau Eleven has eleven members."
"Welcome to join. From today on, you are a probationary member of Bureau Eleven."
Lu Qingyi smiled for the second time, seemingly very satisfied with Shiyu's response.
There were too few talents in this field. Every time she explored ruins, she felt a shortage of manpower.
Now, with the discovery of a new talent, Lu Qingyi felt that once Shiyu grew up, she would have a useful tool.
As the youngest member of Bureau Eleven, she also wanted to have a useful tool instead of always running errands for her teacher and being a tool herself.
"Probationary??" On the other side, after Lu Qingyi's words, Shiyu suddenly felt he had been tricked.
The other party talked for so long, but the benefits seemed to be for formal members.
"I..." Shiyu regretted it, but the next words from the other party made him nod immediately.
"Additionally, your current strength and abilities are too weak. The organization will provide you with 10 million starting funds. Your primary task is to grow quickly, at least to become a professional beast master, and to receive systematic archaeological knowledge training."
"No problem, I'll definitely complete the task."
"When will the funds be credited?"
Compared to the benefits of legendary beast masters and bodyguards, 10 million in cash was clearly more tempting to Shiyu.
With this money, he wouldn't need to cultivate Qingmian worms anymore!
Goodbye, worms, you are free!
"Tomorrow," Lu Qingyi said.
"Tomorrow, your credentials and funds will be in place. However, unless in special circumstances, I suggest you not reveal your identity as a member of Bureau Eleven."
"Otherwise, some foreign spies will make your life miserable."
"By the way, currently, only Bureau Eleven knows about the connection between the new ruins in Pingcheng District and you."
"From now on, before you become a formal member, I will be your liaison with the organization. That's all I have to say."
Shiyu nodded. Don't worry, he wasn't a show-off.
There were only eleven people in the country with such talent... as an important talent who could unravel the secrets of ruins, he would definitely be targeted, especially since he was so weak.
"I forgot to mention the most important thing. Your probationary task is to investigate the true history of Ice Plain City."
"There is no time limit. After success, you can become a formal member. I explored the ice dragon ruins in the snow mountain before, but failed to solve the mechanism due to a lack of key information. This time, with the new ice plain ruins appearing because of you, you might be the one to finally break the deadlock."
Even with the talent to listen to the sounds of history, not everything could be heard. It required a certain "opportunity" to hear the traces of history.
Lu Qingyi failed, but Shiyu succeeded.
After investigation, Lu Qingyi understood. After all, Shiyu was a native of Ice Plain City, so it was normal for him to hear the sounds.
Shiyu's desire to uncover the truth about Ice Plain City was definitely deeper than hers. This probationary task was almost tailor-made for Shiyu.
"Let me investigate the true history of Ice Plain City?" Shiyu said, "But can I access the new secret realm that appeared?"
"Yes, this secret realm is a special type of relic. Even without using your Bureau Eleven member identity, you have a high probability of entering. What you do next is part of your probationary task."
Lu Qingyi said, "Finally, as your sponsor, I will personally give you a gift."
To help Shiyu grow quickly and become her assistant, she planned to pay him in advance.
"Money, I think you don't need it for now. So, the skill manuals for Iron-Eating Beasts, special evolution methods for Qingmian worms, or high-race pet beast pups, what do you want?"
