56: Chapter 56 The Soul of Dragon _1 56: Chapter 56 The Soul of Dragon _1 “An annual salary of 600,000 yuan!”
Xia Hongyao introduced, “As long as you beco a mber of the Security Bureau, you can earn at least 600,000 yuan and ten teor Coins every year.”
“teor Coins?”
It was another term that Lin Baici didn’t understand.
“There’s a mysterious mineral in the ruins of God, called teorite, which contains a type of mystical energy.
God Hunters call it God’s Ability.
When refined through special thods, this mystical energy can be absorbed by the human body, enhancing it.
It is said it can even push humans towards further evolution!”
Xia Hongyao explained.
“Hmm!”
Lin Baici listened carefully.
“The scientific researchers of the Security Bureau have slted a special tal that can act as a container for God’s Ability.
teor Coins are made of this tal, and each coin contains a certain amount of God’s Ability.
That’s why it’s beco a universally accepted currency.”
Xia Hongyao disseminated knowledge.
Lin Baici rembered how he directly consud teorite in the ruins of Dragon Temple to strengthen his body,
Wait,
I even ate God’s bones, which tasted even better than teorite.
“Ten teor Coins is a high salary, and the Security Bureau offers other benefits as well.”
“If you go on a mission into the God’s ruins, there’s an additional bonus.
The amount depends on the difficulty of the ruins and the tasks the hunters are responsible for.
However, even just patrolling the periphery can earn you a minimum of one million yuan, but you only get one teor Coin.”
“Lastly, based on the findings and after confirmation by the Security Bureau, you will receive a significant dividend!”
“When Dragon Guards perform their duties, if civilian casualties occur and the number is within a certain range, Dragon Guards are not subject to legal punishnt.
You can think of it as a license to kill.”
“Moreover, Dragon Guards are national public officials.
Whoever harms a Dragon Guard, no matter how distant, shall be punished!”
Xia Hongyao explained patiently.
Lin Baici licked his lips.
600,000 yuan a year, that’s 50,000 yuan a month.
50K a month!
Lin Baici’s mother often worked night shifts to save more money for him, and even with overti, she made only a bit over four thousand yuan a month.
“With my consent, I can earn in one month what my mother makes in ten!”
Lin Baici was moved.
Not to ntion the teor Coins.
Lin Baici was past the growth stage, but after consuming the God’s Ability from the teorite, he grew a few centiters taller, and his senses beca sharper.
Such enhancents are priceless.
A steady monthly inco of teor Coins wouldn’t be too bad either.
“Besides the annual salary, there are also benefits like social insurance and housing provident fund; there are allowances for business trips, and during traditional holidays such as the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, National Day, New Year’s Day, and Spring Festival, employees receive holiday benefits.”
Xia Hongyao’s introduction was very detailed: “There are fifteen days of vacation each year.
If an employee is summoned back to duty by the Security Bureau during vacation, they must return imdiately without conditions.
Of course, after the mission, they will be compensated with double the missed vacation ti!”
“As expected!”
Lin Baici showed understanding.
teorites don’t care whether God Hunters are on vacation or not when they fall.
For the sake of the people’s safety, the Security Bureau must break into the ruins of God as quickly as possible.
“For daily necessities, such as mobile phones and laptops, employees can apply through the bureau.
It’s also okay to purchase them on your own.
As long as the reason is justified and the price isn’t too extravagant, they can generally be reimbursed!”
At this point, Xia Hongyao laughed, “But with an annual salary of 600,000 yuan, you won’t be worrying about that bit of money!”
“Will the salary increase later?”
Lin Baici was hopeful.
“Of course!”
Xia Hongyao took a sip of beer, “I’m a team leader now, making one million yuan and fifteen teor Coins.”
“…”
Lin Baici instinctively glanced at High Ponytail Bear.
I was wrong!
I didn’t expect Xia Hongyao to be a big boss with an annual salary of one million yuan!
My apologies!
My apologies!
Seeing Lin Baici’s interest, Xia Hongyao was very happy.
The first team mber was almost in hand, but so things still needed to be made clear.
“Little Bai, the Security Bureau’s benefits are very good, but correspondingly, you should be prepared for what it may cost you!”
“You say!”
Lin Baici listened intently.
“You’ve probably seen for yourself that exploring God’s ruins is also a very high-risk venture for God Hunters, and once a task is assigned by the Security Bureau, Dragon Guards can’t refuse it without special reasons!”
Xia Hongyao solemnly warned, “This ans, no matter how contaminated the ruins you’re facing, if you’re told to go in, you must go!”
Lin Baici nodded; he had guessed this much.
With such substantial compensation offered, they certainly wouldn’t tolerate any slackness.
“Of course, the Security Bureau won’t casually send God Hunters to their deaths.
As your team leader, I also won’t allow such things to happen!”
Xia Hongyao made a promise.
What she didn’t say was that when exploring the ruins of God, she would always be at the forefront.
“Are you sure I will be assigned under you?”
Lin Baici was curious.
Following Xia Hongyao, with her good character, Lin Baici wasn’t worried about being at a disadvantage.
“Haha, don’t worry!”
Xia Hongyao laughed heartily, gulping down so beer, “I’ve just been promoted to team leader and have the right to form a team of ten people.
I will personally pick all the team mbers.”
Xia Hongyao looked at Lin Baici with a face full of satisfaction and appreciation, “You’re the first one!”
“Thank you for your kindness, Team Leader Xia!”
Lin Baici thanked her.
“Hehe, I have high standards!”
Xia Hongyao gave a proud snort, “By the way, if we are sacrificed during a mission, there will be a compensation paynt for your family!”
“What are the main responsibilities of the Security Bureau?”
Lin Baici took a sip of his drink; words like ‘sacrifice’ were heavy, but even in death, leaving behind a sum of money for his mother felt worthwhile.
“Our Security Bureau, officially called the Jiuzhou Security Bureau, has a self-explanatory na.
We are the sacred shield guarding the Nine Provinces of China.
As long as the shield standing, the Nine States survive.”
Xia Hongyao sat up straight, her tone serious, “The Security Bureau is responsible for handling all matters related to God’s disasters, including exploring the ruins of God, investigating the illegal circulation of Taboo things on the market, purifying rule pollution, hunting Gods, and so on!”
“Also, ordinary citizens are not allowed to possess Taboo things.
So, until your hiring process is complete, it’s best not to use those Taboo things you have!”
Xia Hongyao reminded him seriously.
“Got it!”
That was also the reason Lin Baici wanted to join the Security Bureau.
Taboo things were many tis more lethal than firearms.
Ordinary people weren’t even allowed to own air guns, let alone real guns, so Taboo things were certainly out of the question.
“The God Hunters on duty at the Security Bureau are known as Dragon Guards, with their own exclusive uniforms and badges.”
Xia Hongyao sized up Lin Baici,
With his dashing looks and great physique, he’d be ultra-stylish in the Dragon Guard uniform, undoubtedly becoming the most dazzling boy in the bureau.
“My team wants to break into the ranks of the Top Ten Elite Dragon Guard Group.
We need to independently break through several Divine Ruins that lasted for decades, but to beco the most handso group, we just need Lin Baici to join!”
Xia Hongyao was thrilled.
Even if the next n to join the team looked like trolls, Lin Baici could still raise the average attractiveness.
By the way,
I can use Lin Baici to lure over that strongest rookie from last year, Ying Baili, right?
I heard those team leaders fought tooth and nail for her.
Xia Hongyao didn’t dare to dream of snagging a rookie like Ying Baili, but now with Lin Baici, it might be worth a try.
“Here’s to that!”
Xia Hongyao clinked glasses with Lin Baici.
The two chatted into the night, with Xia Hongyao still in high spirits, but mindful of Lin Baici’s need to catch an early train the next day, she had to call it a night.
“Get so rest early!”
Xia Hongyao bid farewell, then, returning to her room, she took a hot shower.
Afterward, she wasn’t sleepy at all so she unlocked her phone and opened a WeChat group called ‘The Soul of Dragon.’
This group didn’t have many mbers, but all were team leaders within the Security Bureau, each with the proud record of breaking through a Divine Ruin solo that lasted for decades.
Xia Hongyao sent out a red packet of a hundred yuan, and then @everyone, “Don’t sleep, get up and have fun!”
Crane Pri Minister: Thanks Great Detective.
He grabbed it first, 55 yuan and 90 cents.
Hotpot Fairy: Ditto!
Eating Brother: @Hotpot Fairy, that’s insincere.
Take it back and say ‘Thank you, Captain Xia!’ quickly.
Hotpot Fairy: Eat sh*t!
He and Eating Brother joined at the sa ti and got along well, always teasing each other.
My Daughter is the Best in the World: Red dicine, got sothing happy happening?
Eating Brother: The only things that can make Great Detective Xia happy are either not getting scolded or finding a new teammate.
I bet it’s the latter!
Great Detective Xia: Hehe, on my way back from a business trip today, I bumped into Black Shark Triton from the Lost Coast, and guess what, that guy actually had a partner.
Xia Hongyao typed out a storm, introducing the Black Shark Triton duo’s tactics.
Eating Brother: I see.
If I rashly encountered this duo, I’d also take a big loss.
Thanks for the intel, Great Detective.
Hotpot Fairy: Great Detective, when you co to Guangdong Capital, I’ll treat you to hotpot.
Crane Pri Minister: @Great Detective Xia, aren’t you hiding sothing?
Knowing Xia Hongyao well, Crane Pri Minister believed she couldn’t have killed those two; they were the Lost Coast’s main forces, not just any wild riff-raff.
A Lingering Red Ghost: Sa question.
Eating Brother: Look, even Ghost has co out, indicating how impressive the Great Detective’s achievent this ti is!
Great Detective Xia: You’ll know in a few days.
Xia Hongyao lay in bed, smiling from ear to ear.
As if I’d tell,
what if you all poach Lin Baici away?
For a whole minute, no one in the group spoke.
Xia Hongyao bit back her brag, but couldn’t resist wanting to show off her new teammate.
Hmm!
I’ll just show off a little.
Great Detective Xia: I ca across a high schooler.
He’s a wild God Hunter who took down Black Shark Triton and his partner, did most of the heavy lifting, and even purified the God’s Ability rule contamination himself.
Hotpot Fairy: See, I knew she couldn’t resist and would spill the beans herself.
Eating Brother: Great Detective, can’t you hold back a bit?
Crane Pri Minister: High schooler?
God Hunter?
Sounds exaggerated.
Can you tell us more?
Great Detective Xia: No way!
If I told you, you’d definitely co to poach him.
Giant Serpent Princess: Male?
Is he over six feet tall?
Everyone was used to it, as Giant Serpent Princess always started with this.
In her view, n under six feet didn’t count.
Great Detective Xia: A big guy, around six foot one.
Giant Serpent Princess: Is he good-looking?
Great Detective Xia: If you saw him, you’d knock him out and drag him straight to the civil affairs office to get a marriage certificate.
Crane Pri Minister: Really?
A Lingering Red Ghost: Sa question!
Eating Brother: Sa question!
Hotpot Fairy: Sa question!
Everyone knew Giant Serpent Princess was crazy about good looks.
Even Li Tianshi, unanimously recognized as the most handso and charismatic guy in the Security Bureau, scored just a seven out of ten in her book.
Giant Serpent Princess: Got any pictures?
If not, quick, snap one secretly.
After sending the ssage, she casually sent out a big red packet of a thousand yuan.
Crane Pri Minister: The Empress is so generous!
Hotpot Fairy: Why can’t I ever beat you?
Crane Pri Minister had never lost a red packet grab; he might not get the most, but he was always the fastest.
Eating Brother: Good at nothing else, but a champ at grabbing packets.
My Daughter is the Best in the World: Old Crane, I bow to your single-for-fifty-years hand speed.
Great Detective Xia: I can’t snap a picture secretly, not unless you give White Rudraksha.
Giant Serpent Princess: If that high schooler is really so handso that I scream, I might consider giving you White Rudraksha.
No one believed that.
White Rudraksha was Giant Serpent Princess’s most valued junior, whom she had invested a lot of effort and resources into.
Even the headquarters wanted her to join the Dragon Cavalry, but Giant Serpent Princess hadn’t agreed.
A Lingering Red Ghost: Tell us about the Taboo ga you encountered!
Out of professional curiosity, everyone was interested in any God’s Ability rule contamination because it might be sothing they’d face in the future.
The more experience they had, the better their chances of survival.
