Chapter 48: Meat Stays In The Pot
The leading soldier first saluted Li Ye before saying:
“Hello, I am the Experience Points inspection military camp special commissioner Fan Tie. Thank you very much for providing aid. This was an error caused by our insufficient work. Next, we will take over and investigate thoroughly. No need to worry about the trial.”
As he spoke, Fan Tie showed a helpless expression.
Indeed, there was no need to worry.
It had already been finished off by the person in front of him, so worrying was useless.
Li Ye glanced at them. There were only four people who came, with good Lightness Skill, but even better was that the three behind all had rifles hanging on their chests. In this Experience Point, gun skills were definitely more useful than Martial Arts.
It gave a very reassuring feeling.
He pointed at the Chameleon Lizard Demon’s corpse. “Does killing this Chameleon Lizard Demon count as points?”
Fan Tie was stunned, tugged at his collar, and said to the miniature camera above it: “Check it.”
Then, he said to Li Ye: “Classmate, rest assured, we have very professional institutions. We will confirm exactly what kind of Demonic Creature you mentioned you saw. As a student, what you need to do is.”
Before he finished speaking, the mobile phone in Li Ye’s pocket rang. It was Section Chief Sun calling.
“Hello, Section Chief.”
“Li Ye, there’s Demonic Creature information right near your software’s location, at Dragon Mountain. Can you check the situation? I’ll give you the contact info; it’s the military. After you contact them.”
Before Sun Shun finished, Li Ye laughed. “Section Chief, the Demonic Creature corpse is right next to me. It’s a Chameleon Lizard Demon. I estimate it came from the Dragon Mountain quarry side. This still needs detailed investigation.”
Sun Shun was clearly stunned for a moment. “Dragon Mountain… You’re doing Experience?”
“Yes, I’m doing Experience. The area is right near the quarry. I can check this direction. The military you mentioned is also right next to me.”
“Alright, then I know what to do. Thanks for the hard work.”
Sun Shun hung up the phone. Li Ye then opened the internal software and looked at the latest message, which showed a drone photo of the Chameleon Lizard Demon’s corpse. He said to Fan Tie:
“So, as an Experience student, does killing a Demonic Creature outside the Experience specifications count as points? Or is there extra reward?”
Fan Tie stared at Li Ye in a daze, seemingly not reacting for a moment. After a while, he uncertainly said: “Disinfection?”
Li Ye saluted: “Level 3 Information Officer Li Ye.”
“Good grief!”
Fan Tie looked Li Ye up and down, shocked: “You? A student?”
And a high school student at that.
But he glanced at the Chameleon Lizard Demon torn in half and felt it made sense.
Being able to recognize the Demonic Creature at a glance meant his General Knowledge was definitely good, better than university graduates.
Plus this level of martial power, at least following the Breakthrough route.
“What a pity to join Disinfection!”
Thinking of this, he shook his head regretfully and said:
“Classmate Li Ye, this kind of Demonic Creature outside specifications is not within Experience. Points are set by your school; we just assist in calculation. This definitely can’t be counted. But we will provide extra rewards, and they won’t be too bad.”
“Can it be exchanged for points? I want Nutritional Supplement.” Li Ye asked.
Fan Tie was stunned for a moment. “We can have the school transfer it to you; no problem.”
He glanced at the Chameleon Lizard Demon torn in half, walked over, and kicked it twice. “Still pretty tough. You’re pretty strong. Which pass did you take?”
Li Ye said: “Vajra Pass.”
“Ah!”
Fan Tie sighed again, looked at Li Ye for a moment, his eyes rolled, and he said: “Classmate, to be honest, it’s really a pity you joined Disinfection, but since you’re in Disinfection, it means you haven’t signed a Directional contract yet, right? Want to sign one with us?”
“Directional contract?”
“Yes, we sign a cultivation plan with you, including supplying your Martial Arts and Cultivation Resources, but after graduation, you work for the military. Although you’re in Disinfection, you’re just an Information Officer, right? Our military is also a same-level unit. The meat stays in the pot anyway; it’s the same wherever.”
Li Ye shook his head: “I promised the Disinfection Bureau Chief that I’d go to the Disinfection Bureau after graduation. Like you said, the meat stays in the pot; it’s all the same.”
Although he hadn’t signed any contract, he owed Director Pan a huge favor with no way to repay it, and the man was eagerly waiting for him after graduation. He couldn’t disappoint him.
Fan Tie smiled upon hearing this: “Classmate, not to badmouth a brother unit, but Disinfection really isn’t a good place. How about this: if you change your mind later, come find me.”
Buzz.
Just as he finished speaking, the distinctive sound of an engine approached. Several off-road vehicles mounted with machine guns and rocket launchers came charging over, escorted from above by a group of drones seemingly loaded with ammunition.
Once the vehicles stopped, several soldiers got out. One whispered something in Fan Tie’s ear. Fan Tie nodded and said to Li Ye:
“Alright, we’ve received orders. We’ve also received the Chameleon Lizard Demon’s information. Your bureau’s opinion is for us to take over, so we’ll handle it from here. We’ve also notified your lead Teacher. We’ll send you back now.”
“Is there still a Demonic Creature at the quarry?” Li Ye asked.
If there were more Demonic Creatures, he had to go check.
In case he encountered something like a ‘mountain god’; if it was really a god, there might be a chance to slay it.
Authority was his fundamentals.
“It should be just this one case; otherwise, it wouldn’t have been discovered only now. But we still need to search specifically. As for the cause of this kind of Demonic Creature, we’ll investigate thoroughly. You all go back and rest. How about we exchange contact info? If you change your mind, we’re always welcome here.”
“Sure.”
After Li Ye and Fan Tie exchanged contact info, an off-road vehicle took them away.
A soldier walked over and asked: “Battalion Commander, you like this kid? Is he very strong?”
They hadn’t seen Li Ye’s performance on the surveillance earlier.
“Not just strong; extremely strong.”
Fan Tie kicked the Demonic Creature corpse again. “He recognized the Demonic Creature at a glance; very high knowledge level.”
For this kind of unknown and uncommon Demonic Creature, forget high school students—even Information Officers with good professional levels needed to verify.
“And look at this hardness.”
He pulled out his pistol, bang, shot the lizard corpse. The bullet sparked on contact with the broken scales and skin, only chipping a gash in the scales.
“Such a tough Demonic Creature, and he tore it apart barehanded. Martial power even higher. What a pity it was snatched by Disinfection Bureau people. That place is a pit of fire; suffocating to death. We’ll follow up later and see if we can snatch him over. Can’t waste this talent.”
Normally, someone with this talent would have been signed by a big company early, but now he’s in Disinfection, which is worse than being signed by a big company.
Although the Disinfection Bureau had staffing with them, everyone knew that the current Disinfection Bureau was no longer the same as before.
Ningjiang City’s Disinfection Bureau Chief Pan Zhengyang was okay, but he was just one person. What could he change?
Don’t hold the kid back.
