Chapter 102: Double Happiness! Madam, nice to see you again!

"Proficiency +118, current proficiency is 2610/3000, mental value is 22.4/38.0."

"Spiritual imprint, integrity 78.68%."

The above is the complete harvest from killing the "Tree Phantom" this time.

The integrity of the imprint has increased by nearly 20%, and a new ability has appeared - the ability to communicate with plants and obtain certain information.

In specific situations, this is a useful auxiliary ability.

For Cheng Han, killing the Tree Phantom with one strike is not a big deal.

But for the outpost, it is a feat worth talking about.

Because the duty of the patrol officers is to maintain social order, when dealing with strange and supernatural affairs such as cults of extraordinary gods, they mainly act as assistants.

The Outpost relies on its own strength to independently eliminate the strange creatures, and the total number in a year may not exceed ten.

Naturally.

When Cheng Han stepped into the gate of the outpost after the night patrol, all the staff of the outpost were standing on both sides of the road, forming a welcoming formation.

"Clap! Clap!"

Applause thundered.

The corners of Cheng Han's mouth twitched.

Is it necessary for you all to do this?

The outpost leader, Liu Yidao, laughed until his face was about to rot: "Congratulations to 'Patrol Chief Cheng Han' for killing the strange creature and making great contributions to the outpost!"

Cheng Han's footsteps paused.

Patrol Chief?

When did I become the Patrol Chief?

*

Headquarters.

"Bang!"

The principal of the 15th Middle School, Yan Shan, slammed the table hard, making a loud noise.

This burly man was so angry that his face turned red, and he shouted, "The Patrol Bureau actually appointed a student as the Patrol Chief, do you still have any face?"

A deputy director sitting opposite him, named Yu Xianglong, smiled amiably: "Old Yan, don't be angry!"

He explained with a smile, "The Patrol Bureau also has to follow the rules. In the past, patrol officers who killed strange creatures were all promoted, at least to the rank of Patrol Chief. We can't treat them unfairly, right?"

Yan Shan gritted his teeth: "Cheng Han is just assisting in the night patrol during the curfew. His true identity is a student, and being a patrol officer is just a temporary role."

He was not a fool and naturally knew that "following the rules" was just an excuse. The other party clearly wanted to snatch people from the 15th Middle School.

A bunch of shameless bastards!

Yu Xianglong pretended to be serious and made up some nonsense: "Old Yan! You have to understand the difficulties of the Patrol Bureau. If they don't promote those who have made great contributions, which patrol officer will work hard in the future?"

Yan Shan's teeth made a "crunch" sound, wishing to punch this face to pieces.

I am the principal of the 15th Middle School, what does the difficulty of the Patrol Bureau have to do with me?

Go to hell!

Yu Xianglong used another despicable trick: "Moreover, the Patrol Bureau has issued the appointment and the director has signed and stamped it. There is no reason to revoke it without saying so."

As he spoke, he handed over a document.

Yan Shan glanced at it and found that the seal ink hadn't dried yet. How could he not know that this was clearly an urgently made document, with the purpose of turning it into an ironclad case.

Damn it!

The officials of the Patrol Bureau are even dirtier than gangsters!

Yan Shan was extremely angry in his heart and decisively decided to flip the table: "In the name of the principal of the 15th Middle School, I officially notify your bureau to terminate the assistance in patrol work ahead of schedule and recall all the students."

Yu Xianglong remained calm and composed: "Cheng Han is the chief inspector of our department, responsible for patrolling during the curfew period. Even the city's governor does not have the authority to do so."

Yanshan disregarded all concerns: "Ha! I'm going to stake out the entrance of the sixth outpost now. I don't believe I can't take Cheng Han away."

Since you don't follow the rules, why should I?

At this moment, an old voice came through: "Principal Yanshan, can we discuss something?"

It was Zhen Shiping, the director of the inspection department.

Half an hour later,

"Boom!"

Yanshan kicked open the door of the meeting room.

"Bang!"

The door panel, along with the door frame, heavily collided with the wall and embedded itself in it.

Yanshan, with a dark face, walked away without looking back.

Yu Xianglong turned a blind eye to the destruction of public property and instead greeted with a smile, "Principal Yanshan, feel free to come by often!"

Yanshan snorted and walked even faster.

What a joke!

These heartless guys are extinct, and he's willing to come and celebrate.

The result of this negotiation was a compromise. Cheng Han remained a student, but his position as chief inspector would not be revoked, effectively giving him a dual identity.

But from the perspective of No. 15 Middle School, this was a huge loss!

A once-in-thirty-years genius, clearly exclusive to our school, has brought us great honor, but now he's being snatched away, leaving us with nothing.

Outpost.

"...During the curfew period, you need to fulfill the duties of the chief inspector. After the curfew ends, you will work at the outpost for four days every ten days, and the rest of the time you will stay at the school.

"In terms of personal benefits, the inspection department provides a monthly salary of 150 silver coins, with a minimum monthly bonus of 30 silver coins and a year-end bonus of no less than four months' salary.

"I heard that you intend to raise feathered beasts. After you purchase them, the inspection department can provide a monthly subsidy of 20 silver coins, enough to cover the cost of raising them.

"In addition, you will retain all the corresponding benefits you received at No. 15 Middle School, including monthly subsidies and the class leader allowance."

In other words, it meant two salaries.

This was double the happiness!

Liu Yidao talked incessantly for a while before asking, "Cheng Han, how do you feel about the benefits of being the chief inspector?"

Considering Cheng Han's reputation as the "money-making class leader," he added, "If you're not satisfied, we can negotiate further."

Cheng Han thought for a moment and said, "Let's make the salary a whole number."

Actually, he was quite satisfied with the dual benefits, but since the outpost leader asked, it wouldn't be fair not to raise the price, right?

This was respect!

Liu Yidao readily agreed, "Alright! Two gold coins per month!"

For a fourteen-year-old boy who could kill a tree demon with a single blow, was two gold coins too much?

Not at all!

*

During dinner,

Wan Tengjiao heard a shocking news from his older brother at the dinner table.

"Your classmate named Cheng Han killed a tree demon with a single blow during his patrol last night. This has caused a sensation throughout the inspection department."

Wan Tengjiao couldn't help but be stunned.

So you've become this powerful without me even realizing it?

After dinner.

Wan Tengjiao changed into a set of training clothes and entered the spacious training room.

A simple feathered beast model made of metal, the same size as an adult feathered beast, was placed in the corner on the right, looking very eye-catching.

She stared at the model, unconsciously recalling a small technique taught by her elders.

"...The most impressive move from a practitioner who is one realm higher than you. By repeatedly pondering that moment, you may be able to capture the fleeting and profound opportunity."

Back then, when Cheng Han was blocked at the school gate, he used his "Mountain Moving Hand" to lift a bicycle and smashed down a feathered beast with one strike, which the short-haired girl happened to witness with her own eyes.

For the following three nights, she dreamt of this scene, and then begged her parents to have this model customized.

At this moment.

Wan Tengjiao stood still, repeatedly recalling that angry strike, trying to understand Cheng Han's state of mind at that time.

"You were very angry.

"But you were never afraid.

"Because you have always been fearless.

"You don't bully the weak.

"Nor do you fear the strong.

"You,

"Are a true hero!"

Wan Tengjiao suddenly moved.

"Boom!"

She stomped on the ground, grabbed a bicycle, and shouted:

"Rise!"

The short-haired girl's arms suddenly swelled, and she swung her arms, fiercely smashing the bicycle.

"Boom!"

A loud noise.

The entire training room trembled.

But Wan Tengjiao's face lit up, and she immediately closed her eyes.

Finally, she caught that opportunity.

For a long time.

"Ding!"

A faint sound suddenly came from within her body.

This was the initial resonance of source energy!

This was the symbol of forming a seal!

Wan Tengjiao opened her eyes, feeling extreme joy in her heart: "I have finally caught up with you."

*

The next day.

The news of Wan Tengjiao forming a seal spread throughout the entire No. 15 Middle School.

As the second third-year student to form a seal, her reputation immediately overshadowed the other seal-forming students.

Except for Cheng Han.

In the afternoon.

Wan Tengjiao set foot in Lan Tower for the first time.

She gazed at the center of the hall, her emotions surging.

There were rumors on campus that Cheng Han had stood here and single-handedly subdued a group of fourth and fifth-year students.

Right.

I heard that there was a guy named "Jun Changkong" who was thrown out of Lan Tower by him, rolling several times in the snow.

Wan Tengjiao looked into the distance and silently said, "I finally made it to Lan Tower, but you have already left. But it's okay, I will definitely catch up."

She pursed her lips and said, "Until... we walk side by side."

*

Shan Yi Fang.

The flames danced in the fireplace.

Cheng Han sat in a "retirement" posture, gently rocking the rocking chair, enjoying the warm firelight.

He stroked the head of a cat and smiled, "Sheriff, you've been running around outside these past few days. You've worked hard!"

"Meow~" The black cat responded.

It didn't mind.

Although the Dark Spirit Puppetry was an extremely powerful secret technique, it first required the spread of a batch of "puppet seeds" in order to successfully control the puppets.

And the black cat played the role of "spreader."

Cheng Han picked up a humanoid puppet, rubbed it with his fingers, and muttered, "I promised to rescue 'Xie You', and now it's time to fulfill that promise."

Every time he thought of Xie You, he couldn't help but think of the delicate and exquisite figure behind the glass wall, and his heart would always stir.

Damn puberty!

*

In a certain prison.

Xie You hugged her knees, her gaze unfocused.

These past two days, she had been restless and anxious. Every time she heard footsteps, her heart would tighten, fearing that the "Eternal Night Walker" would come again.

Xie You couldn't help but sigh, "Being targeted by superhuman powerhouses is absolutely terrible!"

At this moment.

"Creak!"

The door was pushed open.

Xie You instinctively looked over.

The person who came was the old woman she hated the most. Although the woman's words were polite, the condescending disdain in her tone was what she found most unbearable.

"It's time to eat!"

The old woman's voice came through.

There was no emotion in her tone.

The old woman used a key to unlock the lock, opened a small door, and placed a crude meal inside, then closed the small door.

She took a few steps, suddenly stopped, and said in an indifferent tone, "A male guard will come here tomorrow. Don't seduce him, so as not to cause trouble again."

Xie You clenched her fists and roared in her heart.

Clearly, it was the fat guy who harassed me. I didn't do anything wrong, so why should the blame be placed on me?

Is it my fault for being beautiful?

After a moment.

The old woman suddenly turned around, her face expressionless, and her voice filled with a mechanical tone, "Madam, we meet again! Eternal Night Walker, I salute you!"

If I were to kill Wan Tengjiao in the future, would I be scolded?

Just seeking opinions.
