Forbidden Nightmare

Chapter 98 Promotion Benefits
Crisis Management Bureau, Human Resources Department.

The lobby of the Crisis Management Bureau is spacious and bright, with huge screens embedded on the walls displaying various appointment information.

Li Nanke walked into an office according to the information.

Behind the desk, a female staff member said with a smile:
"Congratulations, Mr. Li. Due to your outstanding performance recently, the Research Department and the Management Department have jointly discussed and decided to promote you to a higher position."

"Your position will be upgraded from 'intern' to 'assistant researcher' in the research department, your status will be upgraded from F+ to E+, your salary will increase by 50% to 30 per month, and your annual paid vacation will be increased from 24 days to 36 days."

"Your employee free medical insurance quota has been increased from 200 million to 500 million, and the discount on medical expenses exceeding the quota has been increased from 30% to 50%, and you have also gained the right to choose your own housing..."

"There are many other benefits, including discounts on vehicle purchases, housing and real estate discounts, further study opportunities, etc. All benefits have been sent to your personal terminal..."

"Your two merit bonuses, one for C-level personal merit and one for D+ level personal merit, the former is 75 and the latter is 50, a total of 125 million has been transferred to your salary account, please check it."

"Now, I will process your promotion procedures. Please submit your old documents, Mr. Li."

The communicator vibrated. It was a transfer message. Li Nanke received 125 million yuan into his salary account.

He had only been in the control bureau for half a month, and had received a huge bonus of 125 million yuan before even receiving his salary. If it weren't for his low-level status as an "intern", the bonus amount would have been several times higher.

As he took out his old ID, he secretly sighed, what kind of magical unit is this? No wonder all the extraordinary people in the community are scrambling to join the Crisis Management Bureau.

However, those who were able to successfully join in the end were all elite talents.

If Li Nanke only had low-level extraordinary powers of the 'flesh system', he would probably only be a civilian extraordinary person under lifelong supervision.

The staff invalidated his old certificate and handed him an identity card with "Assistant Researcher" printed on it and a new certificate.

Then he operated the optical computer and a 3D holographic projection appeared, showing the residential houses in various locations in the high-precision area of ​​the City of Redemption.

Among them are private communities built beside the lake with pleasant scenery, as well as high-rise buildings located in the city center.

"Mr. Li, since you have obtained the right to choose your own housing, you can choose any one of the following houses."

The housing rights mentioned by the staff are equivalent to the control bureau paying for him to rent a house. Of course, the houses in these areas are all properties under the name of "Gospel Biotechnology". He only has the right to live in it, but the house is not given to him.

The holographic projection demonstrated by the staff can not only browse the situation near the residence, but also display the interior decoration environment of the residence and the surrounding facilities, such as squares, parks, hospitals, transportation, etc.

Li Nanke looked at several houses and found that each had its own characteristics. Whether a bachelor or a couple with families, they could all find a suitable residence.

But there was no target he wanted.

He asked, "Is there a house in Chinatown?"

The Chinatown area of ​​the City of Redemption is similar to Chinatown. Li Nanke fell in love with this familiar yet unfamiliar place after only visiting it a few times.

Whether it is the architectural style, cultural environment, or food, Chinatown makes him feel like home.

"Yes, Mr. Li, but housing in Chinatown is a welfare benefit for D-level personnel and above. If you want housing in Chinatown, you will need to spend an additional 100,000 yuan per month on housing expenses."

As they spoke, the staff retrieved the residences that belonged to the Chinatown area.

It was a small single-family villa with white walls and black tiles, and an independent courtyard. There were rugged rockeries, gurgling water, and lotus flowers blooming in a small pond. The environment was quiet and beautiful.

The villa is also equipped with service machines such as bionic butler, gardener, and chef, so you can move in directly with your luggage.

When Li Nanke heard the price of 100,000 at first, he thought it was a bit expensive, thinking that such a good house would require a price difference of 100,000 every month. But when he saw this small villa with Su's garden style, he immediately made the decision.

"I want this place."

He chose to live in Chinatown not only because it feels like home, but also because this feeling gives him a sense of sustenance similar to an anchor.

"No problem, Mr. Li."

"Mr. Li, do you still need to purchase a personal vehicle? After you are promoted to E+ level personnel, you will enjoy a 7% discount on all types of vehicles."

If you live in the staff dormitory area, you will have a shuttle bus to pick you up at regular times and locations when you go to and from get off work, but if you move to an independent residential area, you will need another means of transportation.

Li Nanke looked at the list called up by the staff. Some high-end hovercrafts had very luxurious interiors and could be called small private planes.

However, floating cars are much more expensive than four-wheeled cars. Even after discounts, the cheapest of various floating cars costs three to four million yuan.

He thought about it and realized that his financial resources were limited and the discount for his current status level was relatively low, so he could just pick a means of transportation at random.

Li Nanke turned his attention to the cheaper cars, and after a brief browse, he actually saw motorcycles.

These cars and motorcycles are all powered by electricity. Nowadays, except for the military industry, which still uses fossil energy, most civilian machinery is powered by electricity. "Let's take this one."

Li Nanke chose a heavy motorcycle named "Hell's Elegy", which has a very cool and sci-fi design, a black streamlined body, and has functions such as automatic driving, automatic summoning, and automatic parking. It has a range of 1550km and a maximum speed of 385km/h.

The most important thing is that it is not only good-looking but also very cheap. After the discount, you only need 150,000 credit points to buy it.

"Okay, Mr. Li, the vehicle key has been transmitted to your personal terminal, and the vehicle will be delivered to the parking area of ​​the control bureau within half an hour."

After completing the promotion procedures, Li Nanke returned to the HR department lobby. When he was about to go to the parking area to check out his new car, he ran into his old acquaintance Bastian.

Operations Department Special Service Group B, Inmate Team Leader Bastien.

Bastian was wearing a straight black uniform with silver edges and a sword logo on his shoulder straps. It seemed that he was also in the Human Resources Department.

"Team leader."

The leader of the detention team smiled, but was stunned when he saw the ID card hanging on Li Nanke.

"You've only been working for a few days, and you've been promoted so quickly!"

Bastian looked at him carefully, his eyes somewhat suspicious, and suddenly stretched out a hand.

Li Nanke smiled slightly, reached out and held his hand. When their hands touched, he could feel the other party's palm exerting a little force, which seemed to be testing.

"You got promoted?"

The last time Bastian saw Li Nanke, he was only a first-level transcendent. Sensing his current physical strength, he might have already come into contact with the power of the second level.

"Thanks to the team leader's recommendation, Director Frank is indeed a good leader."

Hearing Li Nanke's answer, Bastian knew that Frank must have rewarded him with a lot of pheromones.

However, the pheromones of taboo objects are mainly used as an auxiliary means of promotion. The effect of directly using them to enhance extraordinary powers is actually very poor, and no one is luxurious enough to absorb pheromones to directly enhance extraordinary powers.

Official extraordinary people usually apply to the Control Bureau for pheromones for advancement when they encounter bottlenecks and are unable to break through.

Li Nanke was able to be promoted so quickly, even if Frank gave him a lot of pheromones, it would not have been possible to achieve this alone.

This shows that Li Nanke has not slacked off in his practice, has been working hard to improve his extraordinary powers, and has demonstrated extremely high talent in practicing extraordinary powers.

Bastian thought to himself, what a pity, he obviously has such a good talent, but he is an all-encompassing extraordinary person. Even if he works harder in a certain aspect, he can't become a top extraordinary person.

But he changed his mind and thought that the Wanxiang System could at least guarantee that Li Nanke's future achievements would not be bad. Even if he could not become a top-level extraordinary person, he could still become a big figure.

Li Nanke suddenly had an idea and asked:
"Team Leader, I heard that our Operations Department personnel have some additional combat training programs."

Bastian stroked his stubble and asked:

"Why, are you interested in being a sparring partner? Or do you think the life of a researcher is too monotonous?"

Li Nanke actually enjoyed the peaceful life of a researcher, which allowed him to relax after each forbidden dream.

However, the sudden appearance of the "trade" option on the other side made him realize that there were many nightmares, and also gave him a sense of crisis.

Who knows, there might be some kind of intersection with those nightmares in the future!

Moreover, there is also a disadvantage to increasing extraordinary power too quickly, which is that it is easy to lose fine control over the power, resulting in the inability to exert the full strength of the current stage.

The Research Department was unable to help Li Nanke with issues related to the control of extraordinary powers, but the Operations Department had extremely professional training programs.

Bastian saw him nod and said with some embarrassment:
"I was like this when I was your age. I understand that you can't stand the loneliness when you are idle, but you are Director Frank's key training target. It seems a bit unfocused to come to our Operations Department to participate in combat training."

"Besides, our Special Service B Team is on vacation these days..."

Bastian thought for a moment and continued:

"Well, I'll send you a public dream data disk in a few days. If you feel like practicing, go there and practice with the inmates from other groups."

"As for the additional combat training program, if you can convince Frank to participate in it in his spare time, I'd always welcome it."

Li Nanke smiled when he heard this: "Thank you very much, Team Leader."
