Volume 1: This is a world that speaks with weapons Chapter 21: Hidden Front Headquarters
After consuming 10 points of transcendence to improve his skills, Qi Ji immediately tested his strength again, and found that it had indeed decreased accordingly. The limit values of squat and deadlift were reduced to about 230 kilograms, and the bench press limit was reduced to about 160 kilograms.
After this simple verification, Qi Ji had a clear idea of the amplifying effect of transcendence.
At least in terms of strength, the number of transcendence points is almost equivalent to the increase in strength. For example, 90 points of transcendence is equivalent to a 90% increase in strength.
As for the speed, it is impossible to deduce a reasonable increase formula. His current transcendence degree of 85 points has only increased his original burst speed of 8.2 meters per second to 9.7 meters per second. It is expected that he will be able to break through the 10-meter-per-second mark after sufficient training.
After spending a whole morning in the hotel gym, Qi Ji tried his best to adapt to his greatly enhanced physical strength.
Near noon, Zhang Zizai called.
Qi Ji put away the straight knife, which had obviously become more than half lighter, and answered the phone while wiping the sweat off his face.
"Qi Ji, what are you doing?" Zhang Zizai's voice came over.
Qi Ji thought for a moment and replied, "I did strength training in the gym and I feel like I'm much stronger now."
Give Lao Zhang some preparation in advance, so that he won't be surprised when he sees his increasingly exaggerated strength.
"You have just started strength training, so it is normal for your strength to grow faster in the early stages. What's more, you are born with supernatural strength. In the future, Li Kuang will probably not be as strong as you. Just adapt to it." Zhang Zizai talked freely. Although it is rare, there are still occasional newcomers with natural talents such as supernatural strength in the sports circle. He accepted it very quickly.
After chatting with Qi Ji about training, Zhang Zizai finally got to the point: "I have already communicated with the leaders at the headquarters. You can come over if you are free now ."
On the other end of the phone, Zhang Zizai's voice contained a hint of pride.
Qi Ji understood that Zhang Zizai had probably already dealt with the relationship at the headquarters, and that it was time for him to take the stage.
…
The headquarters building of the Zangfeng Strike Club in the central urban area of Tianhai City.
Qi Ji, wearing a casual sportswear and carrying a long box containing his weapons, appeared at the door of the building and successfully met Zhang Zizai who was waiting for him downstairs.
"What should we do next?" Qi Ji has never been a person who passively accepts things. He hopes that Zhang Zizai can explain to him the current situation and what he should do later.
Zhang Zizai chuckled, and the wrinkles on his face piled up again: "What's the matter? You are a talented player specially recruited by a special coach like me. Today we are reporting to the headquarters. From now on, we will be the headquarters staff."
Raising his eyebrows slightly, Qi Ji asked curiously, "Didn't you say you were exiled because you made a mistake? Is it that easy to fix?"
"It's all thanks to you!" Zhang Zizai's face was full of pride. "In Daxia, no martial arts club can reject a wild professional fifth-dan who has never registered for a professional rank and can participate in the rookie competition to win glory for the club!"
Qi Ji immediately understood.
Zhang Zizai continued, "I don't know what's going on, but this year's rookie competition is full of hidden talents. Not only are there several exceptionally good seeded players like Tiger Li Kuang, but there are even new sword masters and heirs of the Sword Pavilion."
He stroked his chin, his expression still smug: "Under such circumstances, Zang Feng may not be able to rely on only the genius Yan Qing. In order to avoid embarrassment, he needs a 'special force' like you to join in."
While the two were discussing, Zhang Zizai took Qi Ji into the elevator of the headquarters building and pressed the button for the 22nd floor.
"The headquarters building has 25 floors in total." Zhang Zizai gave a brief introduction in the elevator. "The first floor is the lobby, as you can see. The second to tenth floors are the training places for each professional level. The tenth to fifteenth floors are the training and fitness places and the self-operated competition venues."
"The cafeteria is on the sixteenth floor. We can take you there to try some food at noon. All floors above the sixteenth floor are management offices. The higher the floor, the higher the rank."
"The 22nd floor and above are where senior executives work." After Zhang Zizai finished speaking, the elevator successfully stopped at the 22nd floor, and he took Qi Ji out of the elevator.
After listening to Zhang Zizai's introduction, Qi Ji couldn't help but joked, "Old Zhang, Old Zhang, no wonder you keep talking about going back to the headquarters. The office environment of this rich man's headquarters is not much better than that small club in Taiping City."
Zhang Zizai smiled smugly, "That's nonsense, right?" He patted Qi Ji's shoulder. "After this rookie competition, you don't have to go back to the branch club in Taiping City. Just train with me here and prepare to participate in the professional league."
"Okay, no problem with me, but does this count as an expedition? Are there any travel subsidies or something like that?" Qi Ji chuckled.
Zhang Zizai slapped Qi Ji on the back of his head and scolded him with a smile, "You little bastard, you're always thinking about these trivial things. Forget it, I'll tell you in advance. The leader has already said that your contract level will be raised immediately, and the relationship will be transferred to the headquarters. When the time comes, the money will come in, so don't think about the expedition subsidy."
Promotion and salary increase? Yeah!
Qi Ji's eyes lit up, he touched the back of his head happily, and quickly caught up with Zhang Zizai.
When he arrived at Zhang Zizai's office, Qi Ji couldn't help but sigh, it was so big.
In the empty office of about 100 square meters, in addition to a simple desk and sofa, there is actually a weapon rack and a simple sword training ground, with several common swords and training targets.
"Old Zhang, you are so extravagant! Your office is so big and you can practice sword in the office!" Qi Ji touched his chin and said with a sigh.
"Stop joking! Wait here for a moment, I'll ask the HR department to handle the contract upgrade and transfer procedures for you." After Zhang Zizai settled Qi Ji, he immediately called HR to arrange someone to come over.
There is no need to go into details about the trivialities of the workplace.
After signing the new contract, Qi Ji's monthly salary reached 25,000 (paid) per month. In addition, he can also enjoy various benefits that Cangfeng provides to core players for free.
For example, a high-end apartment in the center of Tianhai City that can be moved in at any time. Of course, it is only free for him to live in and will be taken back when the contract expires. For example, it is clear that extra bonus incentives will be given for winning places in various competitions.
Seeing that Qi Ji had finally finished the contract with his HR colleagues, Zhang Zizai could no longer sit still. He immediately pulled Qi Ji up and said, "I told you last time that I would give you a detailed physical examination when we get back to the headquarters. Let's go down now!"
"Okay!" Qi Ji's treatment was greatly improved, and his cooperation level was maximized. Now even if Zhang Zizai asked him to defeat Bai Tianhe, a disciple of the Sword Saint, he would not hesitate at all.
