How Am I Still Alive?

Lu Sheng, the former keeper of the title of "Grey Gold Traveler", is now one of the executive deputy directors of the Ancient City Alien Management Bureau.

Even though it has been at least five years since he retired, he is still one of the strongest keepers of the ancient city.

At this moment, with a tired face, he had just completed two funerals before arriving at this familiar place.

Contraindicated items management department.

"Papa."

In the empty hall, the sound of water traveled far.

They are carrying something, a small cart, ready.

But above, there are only two seemingly ordinary items.

"Two rules-level, according to the rules, are to be sent to the state capital, but Lao Zhao and I found a reason to detain it, and now it is also the old bottom of the ancient city's foreign management bureau. If something happens to me, it will be your turn to use it. They are extremely powerful, but also extremely dangerous, and their ability is..."

Behind him, there are two senior captains of the Secret Service. They nodded silently and recorded this confidential information that must not be leaked.

Due to the previous "mistakes", the Bureau of Foreign Affairs also unblocked its own inventory according to the emergency regulations in critical moments.

In addition to these two "nuclear weapons", more silver weapons have also begun to be issued to suitable users.

More importantly, the Ancient City Alien Management Bureau, which has entered a state of emergency, also has the authority to take more special measures, and some taboos and reconnaissance methods will also be put into use...

"Kill them to death and avenge Xiao Huang and Akko..."

------------

While the outside was caught in a storm, Lu Ping'an was quietly doing his daily life.

Not to mention, he has already determined that he is so small that he has not reached the second rank. If he is really involved in the frontal firefight, it will be the end of the game in an instant.

But he was still very satisfied with his gains.

The simple description given by Life Bank has already pointed the way for Lu Ping'an.

With a name and characteristics, Lu Ping'an took the initiative to follow the exploration mission.

He went to Guda University to help his "gardener leek" to make up the buff, and he also used official funds to ask someone to study it.

He also bought the specific materials of the Sith White Flower by the way... Of course, he spent a little more money to buy cultivation materials and raw materials for development purposes, which is also a reasonable consumption.

"The Sith White Flower, our world calls it 'White Sleeping Cherry', the raw material of the powerful sleeping potion in the other world."

Is it sleeping pills? This made Lu Ping'an a little surprised.

This is not because he suspects that there is a problem with the data, but under the serious vigilance of professionals, if this thing is "harmless pollen", it should not take effect so quickly.

At that time, when I saw a person fall, I suspected that they died violently.

"The white flower of the Sith is also known as the flower of fear. Its pollen is very special, and it can penetrate into the surface of the human body when it is next to the skin. Once it enters the body and integrates into the blood vessels, the more excited you are, the more blood vessels will expand, and the faster the effect will be. If you calm down In the face of it, he will take effect a lot slower, and he will not even fall asleep. Moreover, this is a 'degraded species', which has undergone localization transformation, and the effect is very strong..."

Downgrade? Lu Ping'an has only seen those who use the life module to upgrade.

And after inquiring carefully, this is another common usage of magic plant grafting.

The normal Sith white flowers are third-order otherworldly magic plants, but these seem to be native "magic cherry blossoms" that have been grafted and bred to obtain a weaker second-order variant, and the pink flower color is the easiest feature to identify. .

Its "sleep" effect is naturally weaker than the original version, but it is much easier to reproduce after downgrading, and due to "localization", it is much simpler to plant seeds locally and plant in large areas.

"There is always a strong sense of incongruity and pollution infiltration in our world. If it weren't for this localized subspecies, the ambush would not have been so successful."

Lu Ping'an tried it himself, and if he had direct contact, he would be able to resist it, but if he deliberately remained emotional, it would be the result of falling asleep in seconds.

At this time, Lu Ping'an's extra funds also received a surprise.

"...The other half of the grafted parent is not from our side. It seems to be a special cherry blossom from the eastern island country, which means..."

Does that mean that the gardener might be a foreigner from the east? This is undoubtedly a major intelligence clue, and Lu Ping will feel a lot more at ease when reporting funds.

And as soon as he returned to the office, he received an additional surprise.

"Red envelopes? So many?"

"This is an official big mission. The appearance of a Tier 4 attacker should be counted as at least a Tier B mission. Considering the difficulty, if you go up to Tier A, you also killed a Tier 3 monster. 50,000 is not too much."

"...Didn't it fail?"

"At least 70,000 if successful."

At this moment, Lu Ping'an understood why the Bureau of Foreign Affairs and the Secret Service could use "not too high" monthly salaries to win over powerful positions.

It turns out that the monthly salary is only guaranteed, and the bonus and bounty are the big ones. The more you do, the more you get.

Not to mention the reality of those professionals, the growth of professionals also requires a lot of money, and some resources are impossible for the official to provide.

And if you can't progress smoothly, the "shelf life" of professionals will be at most ten years. Naturally, you must consider the future... The common interests of human society are indeed tempting, but you can't let others take the righteousness. Eat food.

Generally speaking, people in the workplace have the unspoken rule of "don't ask about other people's salary", but now some excited young people are naturally eager to ask about other people's bonuses... In a sense, this is also What the captain-level expects to see, nothing can inspire morale and fighting spirit more than a "large sum of money".

Senior Sister Hua is 35,000, Xue En is 25,000... Judging from the results, he should have guaranteed the bottom line, but in the team, he is indeed the most excited one.

Perhaps, he has never touched such a huge sum of money... Considering that, in a sense, this is also his first big task after getting the "temporary license", this is most likely a reality.

"How much is Sister Xia?" Lu Ping'an asked carelessly, something that others wanted to know but were afraid to ask.

"120,000, I have a level bonus, plus the mercenary bonus of 200,000." This is quite an exaggeration, but considering her performance, it is normal.

And the kind of mercenary who has been doing dirty work for a long time has naturally accumulated a lot of hatred. With Captain Xia's official background, it is easy to get a reward.

"Before, it was only half of this at most, and the bonus system has also been reformed. You have caught up with the good times." Xia Qin changed her words and added another sentence.

"Generally speaking, it's better not to ask about other people's bonuses. But since you are all newcomers, I'm still talking nonsense, do you know 5221? Oh, it seems that you don't know, this is an income distribution mechanism.... ." Xia Qin casually said some "rules" of the official keepers.

This kind of task with huge profits is actually not common... If it is really common, the special team has become a high-risk department, although it is quite high-risk now.

When the bonus is in hand, it is easy to squander it, especially for professionals. A good piece of equipment may take away all your savings. If you spend it indiscriminately, no matter how much you earn, you will be sad in old age.

"...Five, that is, half of the income. The investment is in the aspects related to the improvement of one's professional strength. This is the bulk. If the professional does not improve, he will only die. No matter how high the investment is, it is necessary." This is actually It is also the rule of the special team. After the first bonus is down, teach newcomers how to use it.

Whether they listen or not is one thing, but a competent captain needs to nag.

"Second, it is equipment, including various consumables, potions, weapons, etc. After you get up, the maintenance fee of the weapons may not be enough, and you can increase it at that time. But it is not recommended to hit this bottomless pit in the early stage, the manufacturers are too It's dark." Lu Ping'an actually had a vague understanding of this, potions are really expensive.

"There is another two, that is to save, you can buy precious metals or bank deposits. You all know the reasons, so I won't go into details. But I personally recommend buying 'consumables' and saving them, which is the best value preservation and can avoid fluctuations. ." Xia Qin said very calmly, but Lu Ping'an could read more from it.

Due to the existence of precious metals in other worlds, once the "customs" is out of control, it is very likely that a major incident will occur, and it is normal not to recommend it.

Bank deposits are also not recommended? Why? Once the social order collapses, the million-dollar property may become waste paper in an instant.

Only the consumables of professionals, as long as there are super powers and pollution in this world, it is a natural absolute value preservation.

"The last one is to donate...Don't look at me so surprised, I don't want you to donate to a church. Most companies, associations, and churches have this kind of 'donation' mechanism within the voluntary Yes, either for some unfortunate people who were seriously injured or even retired, or for the families of those unfortunate people, many colleagues died without half a dime in their pockets, or others couldn't find them at all..."

This is not a pleasant topic, but it is quite realistic.

There is also a "fund" within the ancient city's secret service team, which is specially used to deal with these chores... Don't get me wrong, the pensions and compensations of the official institutions are running normally. This is just a spontaneous fundraising, operation and compensation of the people.

If you donate, you are a member of the foundation, and you have the right to benefit from it in the event of an accident.

Of course, there are all kinds of dirty things, but at least because of the existence of "contracts" and the perverted thirst for "credit" in the world, there are more advantages than disadvantages, and its existence is valuable.

When it really works, there are a series of processes such as resignation, clearing, and file transfer. It also involves the relationship between the special service team and the lower-level departments of the Alien Bureau. This will not be expanded.

Xia Qin said it very clearly, and also revealed the fact that 90% of colleagues will choose to join... There are always people who don't go the usual way~www.readwn.com~ The newcomers looked at each other and hesitated a little. After a while, I naturally chose to join.

"5221 is a common bonus distribution mechanism. In fact, you can see that 70% of it is used to improve your own combat power. Strength is the foundation of everything. You can consider the distribution ratio yourself, but at least there must be a ratio. Otherwise..." Xia Qin silently glanced at someone in the office, Lei, who was pretending to read the report seriously.

It seems that someone's moonlight is really not a disguise.

Lu Ping'an thought for a while, and without hesitation he positioned the ratio as "91".

It's not that he has any preference for this number, but to him, deposits seem to be meaningless, as long as the income after completing the "monthly payment" is all invested in the improvement of strength.

When the strength has improved, I have time to think about other things.

For the newcomers, it is natural to be happy to consume after getting their first income.

But Xia Qin held Lu Ping'an, who was about to leave, and gave him a task.

"This task is very suitable for you. It just so happens that you have a bonus, which may be used in it. If it is not enough, you can borrow it from me. I will see if I can reimburse some of the intelligence expenses." In Xia Qin's view, this is a A beautiful difference.

This task is quite simple, but it makes Lu Ping a little puzzled.

"I'm going to contact the local Tu Ge Chamber of Commerce? Why let me go?" Not to mention the fact that GT evil spirits actually have a Chamber of Commerce, it is very outrageous to let a newcomer to do intelligence work.

"Because you are probably the only combat-ready gardener in the Zion District Special Forces."
