Chapter 24 High School Third Year Civil Servant
“My name is Liu Hong, a High-level Warrior, awakened with a B-class Scarlet Flame Leopard bloodline. With your ability, you shouldn’t need to join our exorcism team, after all…”
After a brief self-introduction, Sister Liu asked with some confusion, her eyes showing a hint of suspicion.
“Magic Crystals… I need Magic Crystals, but War General Level demonic beasts are too difficult to kill. I need help. For an experienced team, ambushing an Initial Stage Battle General demonic beast at Warrior Class is not difficult.”
Without beating around the bush, Su Jiu looked up at the other person, her language still cold, but her expression was exceptionally honest.
“For cultivation? But it’s true, joining our team gives you a chance to obtain Magic Crystals, and even if you don’t, you can buy one or two after a while. However, with your strength, wouldn’t you obtain more resources by joining the Dragon Hunters?”
Sister Liu was still confused. Although she hoped to have powerful individuals join her team, the other party’s excessive strength made her suspicious.
“Is this okay?” Su Jiu took a school ID from Zhiyuan High School out of her pocket and shook it, then said softly, “Dragon Hunters have to die for the government. I’m used to being free, I can’t do that.”
Although her face was expressionless, she felt extremely frustrated inside. She wanted to go too.
However, that kind of thing required being at least eighteen years old and graduating normally from high school. Once admitted, they would be secretly trained, etc. Based on the descriptions in novels, it was roughly equivalent to an alternative military academy.
Liu Hong nodded slightly, as if agreeing with Su Jiu’s point. After exchanging QQ accounts with Su Jiu on their phones, knowing that the other party disliked trouble,
“Soul Devouring Demonic Mole, High-level Warrior level, extremely fast movement speed, possesses a certain degree of intelligence, this is our target this time.”
“This is a photo taken by chance.”
As she spoke, Liu Hong sent Su Jiu an image. It was a demonic beast with sharp serrations, its scarlet eyes revealing a hint of bloodthirst.
When Su Jiu saw those scarlet eyes again, she was slightly stunned, and her mind couldn’t help but recall the scene on the bus that day.
It seemed that she had seen such eyes that day. Unlike the Scarlet Flame Wolves on the mountain, this bloodthirst was not a simple ferocity, but a greedy sense of devouring.
Was it deliberate?
“What? Scared?” Liu Hong teased. She had a feeling that this girl with the fox mask was not very old.
“What’s the reward?”
Su Jiu shook her head slightly. Just a High-level Warrior, she could defeat it with one hand. Her purpose for joining the team was for War General Level demonic beasts.
Liu Hong smiled. Being able to ask about the price meant the other party had full confidence. She was happy to see this: “Five people, 150,000 prize money each, and there’s a subsidy from the government, most likely Magic Crystals, as this demonic beast has killed quite a few people.”
Su Jiu’s eyelids drooped slightly. 150,000 seemed like a lot, but it was too slow to reach her goal of 2.5 million.
It has to be this way…
Then she took a shallow breath, her eyes showing a hint of confidence, and said, “500,000, I’ll take 500,000… you just need to provide me with the demonic beast’s location.”
After a moment of silence.
“What do you mean? Underestimating us?” The bare-chested big man, who had been silent in the exorcism team, suddenly stood up and looked at Su Jiu angrily.
Not just the big man, but even the delicate girl among the members showed a hint of dissatisfaction.
“She does have the ability to fight the Soul Devouring Demonic Mole alone.”
Liu Hong, who seemed to have a fiery temper, waved her hand to stop them. She had been an adventurer for so long, she had good judgment.
Then she continued very seriously: “Are you really short of money?”
“Very short.”
Su Jiu nodded slightly.
“Okay, but if you don’t succeed in killing this demonic beast in the next two days, we will still act together.” Liu Hong lowered her head and continued to type on her phone to enter a website. When she looked up again, she took out a QR code and continued, “Scan this QR code with your QQ account and fill in your real personal information.”
“Personal information?” After scanning, Su Jiu’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as she looked at the lines of oaths on the webpage.
As if sensing Su Jiu’s concerns, Sister Liu comforted her: “I won’t know, and the people below won’t know. This information will only be transmitted to the Dragon Country’s official database. Although our city’s exorcists are from the Adventurer’s Guild, they are officially public officials of Dragon Country in name.”
“For example, I am a vice-section level cadre.” Sister Liu proudly puffed out her chest, her large bosom swaying wildly in front of Su Jiu. Seeing that Su Jiu remained silent, she continued:
“After real-name authentication, download the two apps provided. When you complete a mission, take a photo of the spoils of war with your phone and upload it directly to the review app. The funds will be disbursed quickly. The other app will show you more of our Dragon Country’s dark web based on your title.”
“What’s the difference between this and the Dragon Hunters? (Qii)⑵⑶ling Si Zhou VII$ (Three) Death (Lin-Meng”
Su Jiu, who was filling in the information, was slightly stunned. Was she a national civil servant in her third year of high school? She didn’t want to end up on the front lines like the male protagonist when the northern border was attacked by snow demons.
She certainly didn’t need materials for War God Level or above. However, early access to the dark web was quite good.
“The difference is that we are very free, but relatively speaking, the money and resources are far less than those of the Dragon Hunters. After all, they are legitimate, while we are equivalent to public institution employees.”
Liu Hong patiently explained slightly.
Su Jiu had already finished filling in the information and asked curiously: “Then how can I increase my title level?”
“Hunt high-level demonic beasts that are wanted by the government, or do other related things. For example, what you saw on the first page just now, ‘I will fight the Ancient God Sect unconditionally and protect the interests of every citizen.’ Dragon Country’s official attitude towards cults is always zero tolerance. By killing their cultists, you can be promoted quickly.” Liu Hong paused and then joked:
“If you die in the line of duty, you might even jump three ranks.”
“Heh heh…”
Su Jiu’s eyelids twitched slightly. She didn’t find the joke funny. Unlike demonic beasts, fighting those lunatics from the Ancient God Sect meant that if you weren’t careful, you might be stabbed by someone who looked normal.
“I have something to do. When a demonic beast appears, just send me the phone’s location.”
It was already noon, and Su Jiu had almost finished everything. After exchanging QQ accounts, she waved goodbye to Liu Hong and the others.
She had to go back to school to show her face; otherwise, her old man would always think she was dead.
Watching Su Jiu leave, Liu Hong leaned back in her chair, holding her phone, her face as still as water, completely different from usual.
“Captain, what’s wrong?” the delicate girl asked confusedly.
“That girl’s attitude is really infuriating. I’d rather be scolded by my superiors than see her fail to kill the demonic beast and cry.” The big man also sat down, his eyes full of indignation.
“Her information is very ordinary, even her family is very ordinary. Her mother is a housewife, and her father is a civil servant… Do you know what that means?”
Liu Hong scanned the people around her and said solemnly. She had seen information this ordinary before, but it was this ordinary information that, when investigated further, was blank.
She paused and said softly, “This is a disguise, provided by the country for her. The information’s confidentiality level might be top secret.”
“Top secret?” The people around her looked confused.
At this moment, the man with the elegant long hair looked at Liu Hong with a solemn expression and said, “There are three levels of file classification: Top Secret, Secret, and Confidential. My university student union president has a direct relative who is a War God Level master, but his file is said to be only Confidential…”
Hearing this, the crowd around them gasped, contributing significantly to global warming. They looked at each other, their faces filled with a multitude of emotions.
“This must be the trial of a certain Big Shot’s offspring. Her saying she needs money is probably a condition set by her family for her trial…”
After a minute of silence, Liu Hong spoke again. She immediately made a decision.
“We must do everything we can to help her. Such a person, if she becomes a War God or something in the future, even a little bit of what trickles down might allow us to achieve War General Level with ease.”
Then she smiled faintly again,
“Besides… just providing the location to get 50,000, isn’t that better than those sitting in offices?”
