The words "It's all like this" expressed the helplessness. Xu Shen and Mo Xiaoxiao looked at each other and said nothing more.
After playing with the little girl for a while, Xu Shen left 100,000 Luka coins before leaving. This amount of money was enough to raise Captain Zhou's daughter until she was a teenager.
Su Shuang was a little surprised to see the money. After some refusal, Xu Shen finally forced it into her hands.
Mo Xiaoxiao was the most cheerful and advised, "Who knows when one of us three might die? Let's keep this money in her account for the time being, so that those who are still alive can continue to take care of it."
The "she" here refers to Captain Zhou's daughter.
After hearing what she said, Su Shuang stopped refusing.
I heard that some single slayers in the bureau also have their own small Freemason associations, and they put their money into one account. If someone dies one day, the money will not be confiscated by the bank and no one will claim it.
However, Su Shuang did not join such a Freemasonry.
Mainly because I heard that the casualty rate of this kind of Freemasonry is generally higher than that of ordinary teams...
"You have lost a lot of Xu."
Leaving Su Shuang in the room, Mo Xiaoxiao saw Xu Shen off and said to Xu Shen outside the small building.
Xu Shen's eyes were slightly stern. If the other people in Team 17 heard this, they would probably feel helpless and annoyed, but he knew that Mo Xiaoxiao might really be able to see something.
"Maybe they have all gone home..." Xu Shen said after a moment of silence, then he looked at Mo Xiaoxiao: "You have already reached the initial state limit, have you ever tried the critical state?"
"without."
Mo Xiaoxiao shook her head slightly.
"Try it when you have time. Maybe when you reach the second form, there will be different changes." Xu Shen said. He was full of curiosity about Mo Xiaoxiao's ability. He wondered what he would see if it was fully revealed.
The two said goodbye. Mo Xiaoxiao stared at Xu Shen's departing back and whispered to herself, "I don't want to reach the second form. If I do, my sister will come out and blame me..."
…
… …
Not long after, Xu Shen received a secret order from the bureau.
All the notifications were made by Li Meina personally.
When Xu Shen arrived at the bureau, he saw Mu Xue and Chu Bai were there too.
But the Miya from last time is not here.
"Here are three Xu Shen Spears, all of which are specially modified versions. Their power is 1.5 times that of ordinary Xu Shen Spears." While Liu Jichuan was speaking, Li Meina distributed the three Xu Shen Spears to Xu Shen, Mu Xue and others.
"The Xudong will be opened in less than two months. You should get familiar with this gun and come to the bureau for two hours of training every day." Liu Jichuan said, "When the Xudong is opened, it will be up to you to bring honor to the bureau."
Xu Shen held the Xushen Spear, which felt heavy.
"We haven't loaded any bullets yet." Li Meina saw Mu Xue checking the magazine and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you might hurt yourself by mistake."
Chu Bai asked: "Did you find Xiaoye?"
Liu Jichuan shook his head slightly and sighed, "We sent people to wait for him for three days, but he didn't show up. Something must have happened. Ono died in the line of duty for the bureau, and his family will be compensated."
"Isn't Miss Meiya coming to participate?" Xu Shen asked curiously.
Liu Jichuan shook his head slightly: " She has already received special training and is already proficient. She doesn't need further training."
Xu Shen suddenly realized and asked curiously: "They don't seem to be the captains of the bureau, but they seem to be very skilled. Which department are they usually from?"
Liu Jichuan felt a little overwhelmed and said helplessly: "Don't worry about it. You will know everything when you are in charge of the bureau in the future."
As if afraid that Xu Shen would ask more, he quickly asked: "How have you recovered during this period? Have you tried to break through the second form? Xu Shen, I heard that you also activated the critical state. Have you tried to break through?"
Hmm... Xu Shen somewhat understood the discomfort of being asked about one's private matters. It was not right to answer, nor was it right not to answer.
"What will happen if we make a breakthrough while trying?" Xu Shen asked back.
"Then we need to work harder. If we can achieve a breakthrough, there will be many benefits." Liu Jichuan asked again, "How confident are you?"
"It's hard to say, what are the specific benefits?"
"It's hard to say how much?"
Mu Xue and Chu Bai looked at the two of them with strange expressions. Is this a push and pull at the limit?
Seeing that Xu Shen couldn't answer, Liu Jichuan snorted in his heart, feeling like he had won a small victory, and then said: "The Ruins Cave is dangerous, you should try your best to break through the second form, which will only benefit you. Although this is a life-and-death test, you have to go through it anyway. If you break through, don't try to hide it."
"I'm counting on you to take over Lao Wang's position and take charge of the bureau. The others can retire, but you guys can forget about it. Now that the beasts are wreaking havoc outside, I'm counting on you to save the world."
Chu Bai and Mu Xue looked at each other, both feeling helpless. They had long known that it was impossible for them to retire after reaching their position.
When you are in a high position, you will have some power, but many things are beyond your control.
"Okay, let's go practice shooting. Mina, take them over." Liu Jichuan waved his hand.
The three had no choice but to leave.
Following Li Meina, we came to a remote small building in the bureau. This was a place specifically for practicing shooting. The surrounding area was considered a restricted area and no one approached.
There were several shooting targets in the room, and Miya was waiting here in advance.
"I'll leave them to you." Li Meina said to Meiya with a gentle look in her eyes.
Meiya nodded slightly, and after Li Meina left, she began to teach a few people how to practice shooting.
Let’s start with the basics of loading.
As Xu Shen was learning, he asked Mu Xue, "Captain Mu, if the director doesn't let us retire, then won't we have to hunt ruin beasts for the rest of our lives until we die in battle?"
Mu Xue's hands were so fast that she quickly finished reloading the gun. She said casually, "Isn't this the fate of us Zhanxu people?"
“…”
That being said, Xu Shen felt that they would not be willing to accept such a fate.
"Either you break through to the second form and take charge of the bureau. Just like the director said, there are many benefits. Your salary will be doubled, and your status will be second only to his. You won't have to do the mission of killing ruins anymore, and you can just deal with some difficult matters occasionally..."
After Mu Xue finished reloading, she raised her gun and shot confidently. Wow, she hit the three rings accurately.
It's just Chu Bai's target.
Her movements were cool and clear, and she continued to shoot, saying, "Or we can maintain the critical state like us and serve as the captain. Although we have to deal with some C-level incidents, the safety factor is still higher in the critical state.
"Besides that, if you really want to retire, there is another way, which is to train a successor for the bureau, but unfortunately, we don't have that energy."
Xu Shen was stunned. So, doesn’t that mean retirement is impossible?
Could it be that he really wants to continue working in the bureau, then show his second form of power and take over from Lao Wang?
That being said, there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with this... Xu Shen thought of Uncle Wang sleeping leisurely in front of the institute, and suddenly felt that this might not be unacceptable.
Who says that you can’t be the leader of the Light Chasing Society while being in charge of the Secret Bureau?
Anyway, the bureau won't let him retire because the bureau can't do without him, not because he can't do without the bureau.
In this case, he has the capital and conditions to choose, as well as the conditions to negotiate.
"Playing both sides seems to be better than making a single choice. Anyway, whether I am in charge of the bureau or serving as a leader, it seems that I don't need to carry out the daily mission of beheading the ruins..." Xu Shen said to himself, and suddenly felt that the tangle in his heart was untied.
Anyway, there are not many choices, so this result is not unacceptable.
Immediately, Xu Shen also started practicing shooting.
Reload quickly, raise the gun and shoot confidently.
boom.
Hit the wall.
"You seem a little crooked." Mu Xue glanced at him.
You still blame me...Xu Shen glanced at Chu Bai's target which was almost broken.
It's tragic enough for one target to be shot by two people.
Three noobs... Meiya looked at them silently and stepped back to the side without saying anything.
Amid the noise of bullets, the three men gradually became more proficient.
After the shooting practice, the three of them went back to their homes. Xu Shen suddenly thought that in that spiritual space, it seemed that the person No. 7 specialized in selling this kind of forbidden arms.
