Chapter 76
There's one more thing in Chapter 76
"Oh, right, people from the Extraordinary Management Bureau will be coming over later."
Teacher Xiaolin subtly withdrew her hand, which Luo Chuan had been holding tightly.
Back to the topic.
"You should know who they are, right? They're the guy who brought you to the hospital and took Xu Xiaojin home, the one who smokes and Xiao Zhao."
Ms. Kobayashi glanced at Luo Chuan.
"Of course I know that."
Luo Chuan nodded.
He met her last night.
On their way to the hospital, they had already exchanged information and learned the general situation.
This visit is probably just to go through a formal process.
"I know about your and Xu Xiaojin's family situations, so I came here to act as your family elder and also to report your situation to the school."
Ms. Kobayashi explained.
As they were talking, there was another knock on the door outside the ward.
Before Luo Chuan could respond, Yan Nan barged in with Xiao Zhao, followed by Xu Xiaojin.
"Ms. Kobayashi is really dedicated; she came so early."
The unkempt man smiled at Ms. Kobayashi, then looked at Luo Chuan.
"I think Ms. Kobayashi has already told you everything, so let's save time and get straight to business."
After saying that, he walked directly to the window, opened it, and leaned against the windowsill.
He handed over the task of recording the statements to his assistant, Xiao Zhao.
The entire process involves a question-and-answer format, thoroughly reviewing the entire parasitic demon case from beginning to end.
According to Luo Chuan himself, he received an E-level bounty mission and accidentally came into contact with a parasitic demon. Then, being highly skilled and daring, in order to ensure the completion of the 300,000 bounty, he pulled Xu Xiaojin together to find the mastermind behind it all.
After a fierce and desperate battle, Luo Chuan was seriously injured and on the verge of death. His inner power erupted, forcing him to fight back and kill the demon mother and the man in black robes.
"So, did you start the fire at that abandoned factory?"
"I put it there, but does it matter?"
"...Okay, this isn't important."
Xiao Zhao glanced at Luo Chuan's body, which was covered in bandages.
Burning oneself is usually caused by the loss of control over fire-type innate abilities.
Luo Chuan has neither awakened fire-type talent nor is he proficient in controlling and using spiritual power.
Even if he truly awakened an S-rank fire-type talent, he wouldn't lose control.
Upon examining the crime scene, the entire factory was reduced to ashes, with no remains to be found, indicating that the fire was incredibly powerful, beyond the capabilities of even a second-tier martial artist.
However, this is not the focus of the case.
Even Luo Chuan and Xu Xiaojin wouldn't be recorded.
"That's enough."
Xiao Zhao closed the notebook and stopped the recording.
"This record will be sealed in the Extraordinary Management Bureau. In order to protect the two of you, we will keep your identities confidential and will not allow your names and talents to appear in the files."
"Actually, you two have done a great job this time, rescuing many people and preventing the situation from deteriorating further. Under normal circumstances, you should be given a grand commendation."
The man's voice came through.
He picked up the remote and turned on the TV.
The video above is showing news about abandoned factories.
The news report did not reveal the truth about the parasitic demon, but instead concluded that the fire was caused by the hot weather.
"You may not know much about that man in black robes or the organization he belongs to."
The smoker continued.
"They are a mysterious, anti-human and anti-social organization, and their influence can be seen in many major disasters that have harmed humanity."
"Our Extraordinary Management Bureau has clashed with this organization many times, but we have never gained much advantage."
"If your identities are leaked, you may face retaliation from that organization, and we can't say we can protect you then."
"That's also why we don't want you involved in the case."
"So that's the end of it. You can continue to enjoy your university life, and we won't bother you anymore."
"Of course, if you two are willing to join our Extraordinary Management Bureau, then that's another story."
After clarifying the matter, Yan Nan successfully withdrew and prepared to leave with Xiao Zhao.
For Luo Chuan and his group, the less involved they are with the Extraordinary Administration Bureau, the safer they are.
Even this hospitalization was arranged in the name of innocent people affected by the incident.
"Wait a moment!"
Suddenly, Teacher Lin called out to Yan Nan and Xiao Zhao.
She stood up and pushed up her glasses.
A glint of light flashed across the lens.
"Our Dark Moon Sword team has cracked a major case for the Extraordinary Management Bureau. Although we cannot disclose it due to confidentiality requirements, the reward should still be paid out."
"There was a bonus too?"
Luo Chuan raised his eyebrows.
He had only been a superhuman martial artist for a few months and had no idea about this kind of thing.
Upon hearing this, the smoker scratched his head helplessly.
"You can apply for the bonus, but wouldn't that reveal your identities?"
"Not necessarily. We can have someone else collect it on our behalf, and then transfer the bonus to our account through a series of financial operations."
Ms. Lin calmly analyzed the feasibility of the plan, counting on her fingers.
"Luo Chuan and Xu Xiaojin are both students at our Dongcheng University. I can try to persuade the president to handle the matter, and then I can handle the financial operations, which can minimize the risk of leakage."
"According to the bounty offered by the Extraordinary Bureau, the reward for capturing a fourth-tier hunter is 300 million, and the reward for slaying a third-tier demon is 50. For this 350 million, I think I can take this risk."
At this point, Ms. Kobayashi looked at Luo Chuan and Xu Xiaojin, seemingly seeking their opinions.
"I believe in Ms. Kobayashi."
Luo Chuan nodded nonchalantly.
He secretly wished he could pounce on Ms. Lin right then and there, kiss her, and shout at the top of his lungs.
I love you, Ms. Kobayashi!
The previous 600,000, plus this bonus.
The goal of earning the first pot of gold was achieved by a significant margin.
Looking at Xu Xiaojin again, seeing that Luo Chuan agreed with Teacher Xiaolin's idea, she raised her hand out of a herd mentality.
"I...I also believe in Ms. Kobayashi."
……
So, a week later.
Thanks to Ms. Kobayashi's mediation, the bonus from the Extraordinary Management Bureau was finally secured.
After a series of financial transfers, the bonus was eventually divided into two parts.
Of the 500,000 yuan, 500,000 yuan went into Xu Xiaojin's bank account as a bonus for finding the parasitic demon mother and the man in black robes.
The remaining 300 million naturally ended up in Luo Chuan's pocket.
[First pot of gold: 3,800,000 / 1,000,000]
[100% of the target progress!]
[Goal achieved!]
Thanks to Mr. Kobayashi's tireless efforts, you've earned your first pot of gold, more than you'd hoped for, as seed money for your villainous career. Your invisible empire has finally laid its foundation.
[Shameful behavior of sucking up to someone's leg, meow!]
[Fate Points have been awarded.]
Current Fate Points: 200
[The third role portrayal has begun.]
The moment Luo Chuan received the bonus, his back pain and shortness of breath disappeared. He immediately became energetic and lively, removed his bandages, and checked out of the hospital ahead of schedule.
"I said, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? Wouldn't it be alright to keep her in the hospital for a few more days of observation?"
Teacher Lin was both amused and exasperated.
She received a notification from the hospital and made a special trip over to check on the situation and also to talk to Luo Chuan about something.
"I'm fully recovered anyway, staying here is just a waste of time."
Luo Chuan pulled open his clothes to show off his body.
The burns on his body had completely disappeared, as if the extensive burns he had suffered before were just an illusion.
"There really isn't even a single scar."
Ms. Kobayashi observed with a look of surprise, and instinctively reached out to touch it.
But he quickly realized something was wrong and reluctantly put his hand down.
"Okay, there's really no need to be hospitalized in this situation. I'll take you home."
If someone offers to provide free pick-up and drop-off service, Luo Chuan is happy to oblige.
On the way, Ms. Lin drove while talking about other things.
"The demonic core that parasitized the demon mother has been transferred to the Extraordinary Management Bureau after negotiations. Because it has considerable research value, we can expect to receive a reward of about two million."
Magic cores of rank three and below generally do not exceed one million.
Two million has far exceeded expectations.
"oh."
Luo Chuan casually agreed.
He has already achieved his goal of making his first fortune, and he no longer cares about the mere two million.
All he wants to do now is get things sorted out as quickly as possible.
The third interpretation begins.
"There's one more thing."
But then Ms. Kobayashi continued.
"A couple of days ago, Xu Xiaojin submitted an application form to me, hoping to join our Darkmoon Sword Hunter Club."
"what?"
