Kryptonian fate deduction, invincibility starts from killing monsters

Youzhou City, Demon Suppression Division.

Today is the monthly reward exchange day for the Demon Suppression Division.

Therefore, it is particularly lively here. Many centurions who have been out on missions for a long time have returned to the Demon Suppression Division to exchange for rewards.

Generally speaking, after the members of the Demon Suppression Division slay demons outside, they can bring their corpses back to the Demon Suppression Division and exchange them for rewards on the spot.

However, most members of the Demon Suppression Division do not only accept one or two tasks when they go out, but instead accept all the demon slaying tasks along the way at once.

Whenever they complete a task, they ask the local government to send the demon corpses over and record them in their name.

In this way, when the day comes for the monthly salary distribution, they can collect the rewards together.

This saves them the trouble of running back every time they kill a demon.

"Zhang Yi, ten demons of the Qi Circulation realm, two demons of the Congenital realm, exchange for forty contribution points."

"Su Tu, one demon of the Qi Circulation realm, um? Keep it for now? You're just taking the salary this time, right?"

"Cui Tiancai, seventy-two demons of the Qi Circulation realm, three demons of the Congenital realm. Exchange for one hundred and seventy-four contribution points."

Along with a loud shout, among the Demon Suppression Division centurions receiving rewards, some lowered their heads to cover their faces and whispered, "Keep it down, keep it down."

Some raised their heads and looked around, appearing very arrogant.

"Brother Cui is indeed the strongest centurion in your hundred-house unit. In just one month, you have achieved such results, truly amazing."

Cui Tiancai had just received his reward and walked out when someone congratulated him.

"Hey, it's not worth mentioning. Originally, I should have been able to kill two or three more Congenital demons, but one of the demons was from the Qingqiu Fox Clan, exceptionally cunning, and it took some time to chase it."

His attitude was humble, but everyone could feel the pride revealed in his words.

Just like his name, Cui Tiancai had been a well-known genius since he was a child. Even after coming to this Demon Suppression Division, he was still a leader among his peers.

In his early thirties, he had already become a Congenital realm martial artist. Now, ten years have passed, and his strength has further improved. Within his hundred-house unit, he can be called the strongest Congenital.

If another ten years or so pass, maybe he will be able to break through and become a Treasure Nurturing realm martial artist, taking charge of their hundred-house unit.

Since their hundred-house unit leader died ten years ago, the leader of their hundred-house unit has been vacant and has not been filled.

Among the many centurions in the Youzhou Demon Suppression Division, Cui Tiancai is one of the most promising to become a hundred-house unit leader.

A Demon Suppression Division hundred-house unit leader is not only a promotion in status, but the cultivation resources that can be obtained from the imperial court are also unimaginable for ordinary Demon Suppression Division centurions.

After exchanging for some Qi Condensation Pills from the reward hall, I'll continue to go out on missions.

If I earn some more contribution points, I can directly stay in the cultivation room for a month in one go.

A month's time is equivalent to a year of my usual cultivation, and the time to break through to the Treasure Nurturing realm can also be advanced.

Thinking of this, Cui Tiancai was just about to leave when he saw a figure standing at the gate of the Demon Suppression Division, seemingly waiting for someone.

"Strange, who is Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan waiting for?"

Someone beside him chimed in, "I heard that our Hundred-house Unit Leader Gao used one of his recommendation slots to exceptionally recruit someone into our Demon Suppression Division."

"Hmph, probably another纨绔子弟 (wánkù zǐdì - good-for-nothing son of a wealthy family), right?"

Cui Tiancai sneered, his words full of disdain.

The Youzhou Demon Suppression Division currently has nine hundred-house unit leaders, and each of them can exceptionally recommend one person to enter the Demon Suppression Division each year.

This is also a kind of privilege for the Demon Suppression Division hundred-house unit leaders.

Don't underestimate this slot. There are countless wealthy families in the Youzhou area, and I don't know how many people want to send their children into the Demon Suppression Division to learn those profound cultivation methods and martial arts.

The slot in the hands of the hundred-house unit leaders can be of great use, whether it is sold or used as a favor to give to others.

"It's strange, Hundred-house Unit Leader Gao hasn't used this slot for so many years. Why is he making an exception this year?"

Hearing the doubts of the person beside him, Cui Tiancai stroked his chin and guessed, "Hundred-house Unit Leader Gao should be preparing to break through recently."

"Break through? So soon? How long has it been since he became a Treasure Nurturing realm?"

"It's possible. With his talent, it seems to be about time. Maybe it's really as Brother Cui guessed, Hundred-house Unit Leader Gao chose to exchange some cultivation resources for this slot in order to break through."

"Then, the identity of the person coming must be extraordinary."

A trace of contempt flashed in Cui Tiancai's eyes. He was very disgusted with people who entered the Demon Suppression Division through connections.

These children of wealthy families have a good background, but when it comes to cultivation and demon slaying, they cannot compare with people like him who come from ordinary backgrounds.

Sometimes, even going on missions with these children of wealthy families will be a burden.

"But what does this have to do with Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan? Even if he's here to pick someone up, shouldn't it be Hundred-house Unit Leader Gao?"

Cui Tiancai smiled and said, "Have you forgotten? This Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan is good at clinging to the powerful."

He said half of his words, and the rest of the words got stuck in his throat.

Because that Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan had already turned around, looking at him with cold eyes.

Oops!

Cui Tiancai immediately cowered and changed his words, "Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan likes to make friends, so it's understandable that he appears here."

After saying these words, Cui Tiancai found that Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan's face was still very cold, and cold sweat was dripping down his forehead. Just as he was thinking about whether to bow his head and admit his mistake, he found that Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan had suddenly turned around, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan didn't make trouble for him, not because he was broad-minded, but because the person he was waiting for had arrived.

In front of the gate of the Demon Suppression Division, Shen Lin was carrying a package and a sword on his back, looking at the huge plaque of the Demon Suppression Division with啧啧 (zézé - clicking his tongue in wonder).

"This one, I presume, is Young Friend Shen Lin?"

The coldness on Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan's face dissipated, revealing a very bright smile, and he greeted him.

"It's me!" Shen Lin nodded and asked curiously, "You are?"

"Yan Yibo, Hundred-house Unit Leader of the Youzhou Demon Suppression Division. I heard that Brother Gao found a young genius. Now that I see you, you are indeed extraordinary!"

Shen Lin didn't quite understand why this guy was so enthusiastic towards him, but he still politely said thank you and then looked around.

Seeing this, Yan Yibo immediately smiled and said, "Brother Gao went into seclusion to cultivate after he came back. How about I take you to familiarize yourself with our Demon Suppression Division?"

Shen Lin thought for a moment and readily agreed.

"Then I'll have to trouble Hundred-house Unit Leader Yan!"

"Hey, you're welcome!"

He turned around and led Shen Lin in, then suddenly patted his head and said, "By the way, you haven't exchanged your previous rewards yet, have you? Why don't you take this opportunity to collect those rewards and your salary together!"

"I can receive a salary as soon as I join?"

"Of course you can!"

Yan Yibo enthusiastically led Shen Lin past the queue, directly cutting in line and placing him at the front.

Seeing this scene, Cui Tiancai snorted coldly and said, "A person with connections, what rewards can he receive?"
