Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

Chapter 521: Chapter 196: 2019, Returning to Daily Life, Transcendent Mindset_2

Although Zhang Beixing’s evaluation result was only C-level, on par with rifles and submachine guns, one mustn’t forget that those rifles and submachine guns are lifeless weapons. They can only exert their power under human control; without an operator, they are nothing more than scrap metal.

But Zhang Beixing wasn’t. He was human—alive, with his own autonomous consciousness.

And most importantly, Zhang Beixing was only twenty-two years old this year!

His life had just begun, with a long future ahead for him to train and advance further.

Considering all these factors, the clearance level for Zhang Beixing’s military dossier absolutely could not be rated the same as an ordinary C-level weapon! It had to be higher!

Clearly, Yang Ying had already considered this point.

After Yu Jianhong raised this question, Yang Ying pondered for a moment before saying, ”The encryption level... that still needs to be discussed.”

As the only human to date who had passed the armament evaluation with his flesh and blood, Zhang Beixing was truly too special.

Even Yang Ying, with his vast experience, couldn’t immediately determine an appropriate encryption level.

”Alright, Colonel Yu, please contact our Southern Region Command and the leaders of the other military sub-districts under its jurisdiction. Prepare for a video conference in ten minutes.”

Yu Jianhong nodded and replied, ”Yes.”

He then hurried off to make the arrangements.

「Fifteen minutes later.」

In the Pu’er Military Sub-district, after the full details of the matter were explained, along with Zhang Beixing’s armament evaluation data, the leaders in the video conference furrowed their brows. They were obviously contemplating what encryption level would be appropriate for Zhang Beixing.

After a moment, one person spoke up: ”I think Comrade Zhang’s dossier can be given ’S’-level encryption.”

Great Xia’s encryption levels and armament evaluation ratings used the same grades: SSS, SS, S, A, B, C, and D. Generally, the rating from the armament evaluation determined the encryption level. After all, these evaluations involved crucial national assets. To prevent information leaks, armament evaluations had to be encrypted, and Great Xia’s weapon capability data could not be disclosed to the public.

However, Zhang Beixing was simply too unique. A C-level classification was clearly insufficient. Zhang Beixing couldn’t be treated like an ordinary firearm. Therefore, after careful consideration, this person proposed S-level.

Upon hearing this suggestion, everyone in the meeting was taken aback. One person frowned and said, ”S-level? Isn’t that too high? I admit that Comrade Zhang’s Martial Arts skills at such a young age and his achievements are extraordinary, but the strength he has shown is only C-level. To jump three levels directly is too much. In my opinion, ’B’-level would be more suitable.”

”I agree! ’B’-level encryption is the most fitting for his current situation. If his strength increases later, we can raise his encryption level then. It wouldn’t be too late.”

”I disagree with both of you. Making a decision based solely on current strength is too narrow-minded. We should focus more on his potential. Don’t forget, Comrade Zhang started his Martial Arts Training just about a year ago. In that short time, he went from being an ordinary university student with no skills to becoming the world’s only Extraordinary Martial Artist of the Hidden Essence realm. That alone speaks volumes!”

”Exactly. Such potential demands our attention. Special cases call for special measures. I maintain that an ’S’-level encryption is necessary.”

In the video conference, the discussion was lively, with varying opinions. Currently, support for ’S’-level and ’B’-level was strongest and equally divided. Proponents of ’S’-level valued Zhang Beixing’s potential and considered the international implications, believing such a high level of precaution was necessary. Advocates for ’B’-level argued that Zhang Beixing hadn’t yet demonstrated unmanageable power, so his encryption level should be raised gradually, step by step.

Both sides had valid points, and for a while, neither could convince the other.

Seeing that the discussion was stalling, they fell silent and turned their gazes to the Commander of the Southern Region. He was the only one who hadn’t spoken yet. His opinion would settle the matter.

The Southern Region Commander clearly understood this. He pondered for a moment before stating his view on the matter:

”I believe an ’S’-level dossier encryption is appropriate.”

”My reasoning aligns with those who support ’S’-level. Comrade Zhang has achieved this at only twenty-two years old; his potential is immense. Moreover, he has surpassed ordinary human limits, which warrants serious consideration.”

”Of course, this doesn’t mean those who advocate for ’B’-level are wrong; your considerations are also very thorough. Therefore, let’s make Comrade Zhang’s dossier encryption level provisional. We’ll give him three years. If he shows no progress within these three years, we’ll downgrade his dossier to ’B’-level. If he does improve, we’ll maintain the current level or even raise it. What does everyone think?”

Taking into account that both sides presented valid points, the Southern Region Commander proposed this compromise.
