The First Mist Chapter 41: Name, Eternal Night
"Hello, are you the friend who received the invitation?"
A gentle voice sounded, and Xu Shen turned around to look.
I saw a lady in a black suit walking towards the fountain pool next to me. Her long and beautiful legs were wrapped in flesh-colored stockings, and the sound of her high heels stepping on them was extremely pleasant.
"Ah you are?"
"You can just call me Lily." The woman smiled and said, "Please follow me."
Xu Shen felt that her smile was a little rigid. Although it was well disguised, he could still feel it. He didn't have any thoughts in his mind, so he nodded and followed.
Entering the building, it was spacious and clean.
Taking the elevator to the 12th floor, Xu Shen noticed that there were 36 floors in total!
Even higher than Mona Hotel!
"Is this your headquarters?" Xu Shen asked curiously.
"Yes, it's our headquarters in Termite City." Lily smiled.
Termite City is one of the eight base cities. Xu Shen's heart moved slightly. So, does that mean that the Light Chaser has branches in other base cities?
"So your real headquarters is in the inner city?"
"Um."
So, it must be a very large organization... Xu Shen thought to himself.
The elevator door opened and Lily led the way. The 12th floor was extremely spacious. In front was a vast floor-to-ceiling window. A thin mist was floating outside the window, as if in the clouds.
"Sister Yuanyuan, there's a new friend here." Lily knocked on a door and gently pushed it open.
There were some equipment and files in the room, but not many, so it looked particularly empty. There was actually a swing chair inside, and a woman wearing black-framed glasses and with loose hair was lying on it, swinging with a lollipop in her mouth.
This looks like both an office and a leisure place. Xu Shen was a little surprised.
"Hmm? Pretty young, what's your name?" The woman with black-framed glasses looked only a few years older than Xu Shen. Upon hearing that, she sat up, touched the ground with her toes, and the swing chair immediately stopped shaking. She asked Xu Shen casually.
"Oh, my name is Xu Shen."
"Show me your invitation."
"Give."
The woman with black-framed glasses took it and took a look at it. Knowing that it was not forged, she immediately pulled out a file from the side and started to look through it. Soon, she stopped at a certain page.
"Xu Shen... huh?"
The woman in black-framed glasses saw the information above, her lazy eyes narrowed slightly, she looked up at Xu Shen, and found that it was indeed similar to the photo. Although the photo was a secretly taken photo in the cafeteria, the front side could still be seen clearly.
"A person born with the power of Xu, a record in the Xu Secret Bureau archives... Full marks for training and practice , full marks for assessment, first time on a mission... Killed a D-level Xu beast and an E-level Xu beast alone..."
She read out Xu Shen's information.
Xu Shen was even more surprised than her and was a little shocked. As a member of the Xu Secret Bureau, his files should have been confidential, but she actually read them all out?
Do you know everything about the training camp?
Xu Shen thought about what Zhou Ye said. There are many people in the bureau who would take on jobs in the Chasing Light Club. Could it be that those "insiders" did it?
"What a talent..."
Zhou Yuanyuan sighed: "No wonder the association gave a special reminder. Tsk, starting directly as a second-class consul, and there are special benefits, tsk tsk..."
Xu Shen was stunned. Second-class consul?
Beside him, Lily, who was leading Xu Shen, was looking at the young boy beside her with surprise. The shyness and embarrassment on his face had not faded... He could actually kill a D-level boy?
No matter how you look at him, he looks like a boy next door, and a little introverted!
"Hello, welcome to join us. I'm Zhou Yuanyuan. From now on, you can just call me Sister Zhou or Sister Yuanyuan." Zhou Yuanyuan came to Xu Shen and extended her hand with a smile.
Xu Shen was stunned and said, "I just came to understand the situation. I haven't said I want to join..."
"oh?"
Zhou Yuanyuan was slightly stunned, and realized that she was anxious. She pulled her already messy hair and said, "Yes, with your qualifications, the Xumi Bureau should treat you well. Then let me introduce our Chasing Light Club to you first."
Xu Shen nodded, looking as if he was listening attentively.
"Our headquarters is in the inner city. We have branches in the eight major cities. This is our headquarters in Termite City!" Zhou Yuanyuan said as she paced around Xu Shen:
"Although our organization is not a legitimate organization like the Ruins Secret Bureau that has colluded with some core bosses in the inner city, we are also legal. Moreover, we don't need to be as miserable as the Ruins Secret Bureau and take on the task of eliminating all the Ruins Beast incidents. We only need to do things that are useful to us."
"That's why we offer much better treatment than the Secret Bureau!"
"But at the same time, our work intensity will be a bit harder. In the Xumi Bureau, you may carry out a mission once every two or three months, but here, there may be missions every week!"
"Of course, if the Xumi Bureau issues you a mission at the same time, we can not give you any missions during that period, so that you can focus on , and we will give you some time to recuperate after the mission is completed."
"As for the benefits of joining us, let's start with the salary."
Zhou Yuanyuan turned to Xu Shen and smiled. "Generally, the monthly salary for a third-class consul is 20,000 yuan. For outstanding performance, the monthly salary is 30,000 yuan. And the monthly salary for a second-class consul is 50,000 yuan! If you perform well, there will be a special bonus. 70,000 or 80,000 yuan is not a problem!"
"In addition to the salary, there are also Purifying Agents. For a second-class consul, you get six per month! This is equivalent to you being able to absorb one every five days. It can help you improve at the fastest speed!"
"In addition, we also have our own black market and underground exchange. If you need to buy some special Zhanxu items, there are certain discounts."
"How about you think about it?"
Xu Shen's heart was pounding when he heard this. There was nothing he could do, the conditions and treatment were just too good!
If your monthly salary is 50,000, even if it is just basic salary, you can save up 300,000 in less than half a year.
Captain Zhou said that 300,000 yuan can buy a single room in the city.
If you use it to buy a purifying agent, that’s ten sticks!
"You seem to be particularly familiar with the Ruins Secret Bureau?" Xu Shen looked at the woman in front of him and had some guesses in his mind.
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Yes, I used to work at the Xumi Bureau, but I have retired now."
"Retire!" Xu Shen was shocked.
To retire, one must accumulate first-class merits. Even the old members are still working hard for this!
How could this girl in front of me, who looked only a few years older than me, actually have such strength?
"I used to be the captain of the Fourth Squadron. I retired early and had nothing to do. I also had a bad habit of spending money, so I came here." Zhou Yuanyuan smiled casually and said, "Except for me, everyone else here knows something about the Xumi Bureau. After all, the Xumi Bureau only has that little thing, and the rigid system cannot be hidden."
The retired captain... Xu Shen's face changed. This is the existence that can kill a C-level Ruins alone!
"The guild values you highly. Based on your file on the Secret Bureau of Ruins, you will start as a second-class consul, and your monthly salary of Ruins Purifying Agent will be doubled. You can get 12 sticks. Consider it!"
Zhou Yuanyuan was like an elegant cat, staring at Xu Shen in front of her.
“…”
Xu Shen wanted to refuse, but what the other party offered was really too much.
I can't find a reason to refuse!
"Well, to give me such preferential treatment, do you need me to do anything extra?" Xu Shen asked calmly.
"Smart." Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "It's simple. The club's requirement for you is that after you retire, you must join the Light Chasing Club full-time and become a senior executive here."
Xu Shen was slightly startled and asked doubtfully: "That's it?"
"That's right. You are a natural born Ruins Power user. You grow fast. With the resources of the guild pouring in, as long as you accumulate enough missions in the Ruins Secret Bureau, you can retire normally."
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "What the club values is not your present, but your future. After all, there are very few people with special physiques like you."
Xu Shen understood, and he was a little hesitant. After all, what he had to decide now was the path forward a few years later, and who could control what would happen a few years later?
After thinking for a long time, Xu Shen finally chose to agree.
The immediate benefits are visible to the naked eye and can immediately increase your strength. As for the future... there is only a future if you can survive.
“Smart choice.”
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "By the way, since you may become a senior member of the association in the future, your information in the association will be kept confidential. The Xumi Bureau may know that you have joined us, but they will not know who you are in our association. You can come up with a name that belongs ."
"A name that belongs to me?"
"That's right. Every consul in our association has his own name. For example, my name is Waltz!" Zhou Yuanyuan said with a smile.
"But everyone likes to call Sister Yuanyuan the Goddess of Absolute Yuan!" Lily covered her mouth and chuckled.
"You're just a talker."
Xu Shen was stunned. It turned out that the names were used as pseudonyms here.
"Name...then I'll be called Yongye." Xu Shen thought for a while and said.
"Eternal night?"
"What does it mean?" Lily looked curious.
"Well, there's no real meaning to it. I just think it would be nice if it was always dark. At least I wouldn't be able to see the ruins in the dark..." Xu Shen scratched his head and smiled.
"It seems like you miss the days of being a fog dweller..." Zhou Yuanyuan smiled faintly: "But unfortunately, when light shines into life, it's like knowledge pouring into the brain. After you 'understand', it's hard to pretend to be 'confused'."
“This is indeed a kind of pain.”
