The weapon refiner is not doing her job properly

Chapter 114 Promotion and salary increase
Su Ninglong choked accidentally, "cough cough cough..."

She forcefully suppressed her shock, pretending that she was just a little surprised, but quickly recovered, seemingly not caring whether others knew.

Xingyuan patted her back.

Su Ninglong felt a sense of anxiety rising in her heart. The interstellar world was full of hidden talents, and there were so many "experts" in the inner courtyard of such a small school. She absolutely could not let her guard down.

Fortunately, Song Hu did not believe that she was the creator of the sacred artifact.

In the ensuing conversation, Song Hu expressed his appreciation for the maker's craftsmanship and frankly stated his desire to get to know him.

Su Ninglong communicated with him normally, without mentioning that she knew "that person" or having any intention of introducing them.

Seeing that Su Ninglong was more interested in his artistic achievements and appreciation skills, Song Hu took the initiative to explain.

Midway through, Eagle Bone joined their little tea party, and the atmosphere was very pleasant.

On the return journey, the starship stopped in front of the Great Star Gate. Even with military personnel clearing the way, security checks were required before it could pass.

Su Ninglong's boxes of pink stones were too conspicuous; with so many stones, people suspected that she was hiding something shameful.

Yun Fei shrugged: "Feel free to inspect, it's just kids' toys."

Su Ninglong licked a lollipop and said, "It's mine, all of it is mine. You can't secretly keep any when you're checking, okay?"

Who would keep your ordinary stones? After examination with instruments, they had to admit that they were all pretty but not very valuable pink gemstones.

Security personnel had no choice but to let it through; even though the pink stone was classified as a gemstone, it was just something that could be found anywhere on the beach of Youmu Star.

"This is a one-time exception. You declared a quantity of one cargo box, but it was loaded into the starship's warehouse. This is not in accordance with regulations."

"Received, there won't be a next time." The logistics staff member in charge of the application smiled apologetically, then turned around and lightly slapped himself. "I asked you to write down a shipping box."

Yunfei forgave his mistake, saying that many beginners have this problem, and advised him to be more careful in the future.

Entering the Gemini Galaxy takes much longer than leaving; it took more than ten hours before Su Ninglong finally lay down on her big bed.

This trip was very fruitful for Su Ninglong. She not only learned a lot about the Mystic Spirits, but also summoned Bai Ze.

The ability to summon Bai Ze means that this world is not completely isolated from the cultivation world.

Bai Ze is an omniscient being who can foresee the future.

As long as she is summoned enough times, she will eventually know the truth about the world, and even be able to figure out why she came here.

Her secret will eventually be exposed, so before that happens, she needs to shift her focus and develop some trump cards to protect herself.

Many thoughts flashed through her mind, and Su Ninglong gradually closed her eyes.

After a good night's sleep, she took Qirui for a run, with Lei Qingya following behind her.

After exercising for another half hour, she ate breakfast and went to class. Even without physical education class, Su Ninglong didn't stay idle; she learned to audit classes.

Only by auditing classes can you discover what you want to learn.

After auditing an accounting class, she concluded, "I have absolutely no interest in accounting. Lei Lei, why don't you go and learn it? I'm afraid I'll get taken advantage of if I start a company in the future."

"Thank you for your trust, but I'm not cut out for accounting. My dad hired someone to teach me, and that teacher said I'm hopeless. My interests don't lie here. I'd rather you let me do purchasing." Lei Qingya refused three times in a row; accounting was inhuman torture for her.

Okay, we can't force people to do things they don't want to do.

Su Ninglong waved her hand: "I can go to the next class by myself. You can put the pink stone away for me and make sure the dogs don't touch it. I have a very important use for it."

……

Xingyuan went to a meeting. Their leader also had a meeting, a two-month summary meeting, to analyze the difficulties they were facing in caring for the children at this stage and how to solve them.

Once you discover your child's special talents, how should you nurture them?

These seemingly trivial details are essential information that their leaders must collect to better nurture the next generation of children in the Star Alliance.

"Xingyuan, it's your turn to report. What's wrong with the child you were leading? I heard she's been getting into a lot of trouble lately."

Inside the meeting room, all the leaders were gathered together. Xingyuan was the most eye-catching, not only because of his appearance, but also because of his little baby.

It is unusual to completely separate a four-year-old from the group life.

"There's nothing to report." Xingyuan pinched the bridge of his nose, still feeling the fatigue from the mission.

“If you don’t cooperate, everyone will follow your example.” The person in charge of the meeting thought Xingyuan was making excuses.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t explain clearly.” Xingyuan’s eyes gleamed. “My mentor’s identity has changed. I received the news this morning that my profession has been changed to Star Alliance Hunter Assistant.”

If they don't force him to point out Su Ninglong's "shortcomings," he'd rather leave the leadership position quietly.

All the guides looked surprised, then congratulated him with envy.

Only the hunters know what happened within the contaminated area. Su Ninglong must have performed exceptionally well, which is why the school made an exception and promoted Xingyuan first.

They knew that Su Ninglong had gained special abilities upon entering the academy and had a high chance of being admitted to the inner academy. Now it was 100% confirmed that she was the designated "hunter" with a bright future.

Haiyu secretly texted him, asking him to treat her to dinner that night.

Xingyuan had no problem with it; he should treat everyone. He received his salary from the Star Alliance that morning, and all the benefits were in place.

Of course, there's also the portion that Su Ninglong contributed, that's the real money, 30,000 star coins, which is far more than the salary of an ordinary hunter assistant.

That evening, Xingyuan invited Gewei, Haiyu, Yangzhu, and Assistant Yu to celebrate together. The guides all made sure not to bring their children and went to a late-night snack shop next to the Executive Department on their own.

Xingyuan ordered a lot of barbecue skewers and some drinks, but didn't raise a glass to drink alcohol, as everyone's work doesn't allow them to drink.

He hadn't actually expected Assistant Yu to come, but Assistant Yu was the first to arrive.

"I thought you were too busy to come."

"I am very busy, but if my friends invite me to dinner, I would be a fool not to attend."

Assistant Yu desperately needs his friends' help. Recently, he's been being dragged into work by Assistant Liang, leaving him feeling overwhelmed and exhausted.

"Others prolong their lives by maintaining their health, but I prolong my lives by drinking espresso. If this continues, my veins will be filled with caffeine."

When Assistant Yu is not working, she appears calm and approachable, making people unconsciously start talking.

"I pray that Charlie can pass the first year's assessment, as this is of great importance to my career." Haiyu had never had such low expectations for a student.

"Charlie is alright, he's a brave kid." Yang Zhu, as a teacher, quite likes students like Charlie. "He's just young and hasn't quite figured things out yet. Kids who are willing to work hard will have a bright future."

"I hope so." Haiyu ate a skewer of beef. "Charlie is definitely the most hardworking student I've ever taught." It can only be said that fate closed one door for him but left a window open, not blocking his path to success.

Haiyu nudged the silent Ge Wei with her elbow. "What about you?" Ge Wei rubbed his face with one hand. Little Phoebe had far too many bad habits. If he corrected even a little bit, everything would fall apart as soon as he went home.

But he couldn't stop little Phoebe from reuniting with her parents.

"I can't speak ill of the child I'm leading the way."

Everyone: "..." You didn't say anything, but you said everything.

If Phoebe's grades were in a regular school, he would be considered a "good student" by his teachers.

But Ge Wei, who had spent a long time with Phoebe, knew just how bad Phoebe's morals were.

“He is not suitable for Star Alliance Academy, and I have submitted a report to the school to transfer him.”

"Such a huge sacrifice? You're essentially giving up a whole year's worth of mentor benefits." Haiyu thought it wasn't worth it; it would be better to wait until the end of the school year, when Little Phoebe would be automatically expelled from the Star Alliance.

“You don’t understand how difficult Mr. and Ms. Phoebe are. Giving up a year for ten years of peace is worth it in my opinion.”

Assistant Yu turned her body to the side and said, "What did Phoebe's family do that made you realize this?"

Ge Wei's eyes flickered; clearly, Assistant Yu had hit the nail on the head!

He knew that none of the people present were the type to gossip or spread rumors.

However, I have professional ethics and do not want to use Phoebe's family affairs as a topic of conversation.

"You can search for the keyword 'Gemini Main Star' and find that helping others has led to being unjustly harassed for ten years."

It even made the news!
They immediately began searching.

The news story is about a young man who helped an elderly person who had fallen three years ago. He took the elderly person to the hospital and paid the medical expenses in advance. However, the elderly person could not be saved and the young man was sued by the elderly person's family.

A very simple case of good deeds going unrewarded.

The story should have been quite simple. There are surveillance cameras everywhere on the main planet. The young man called the police back then, and the planet police solved the case. The old man had a sudden illness, and the young man was a kind person who helped him. Then, he died in the hospital despite all efforts to save him.

The elderly person's family should reimburse the medical expenses that the young person paid in advance.

The above is the normal procedure, but Phoebe and her family are determined to fight back to the very end.

They refused to pay for the medical expenses, citing the grief of their deceased relative's death, saying that this way they could feel the elderly person's presence forever.

Finally, the police officers insisted on compensation, and they gave the money to the young man. But from then on, wherever the young man rented a place, he would be inexplicably harassed by debt collectors, splashed with paint, dumped with garbage, and occasionally accused of murder.

The young man couldn't find a fixed target for his complaint, so he had to resort to appealing to the main planet.

Before moving away from the main planet, the young man told a reporter about it, hoping to give others a proper reminder.

When Xingyuan and the others looked up after reading the news, Ge Wei said, "Their family is the instigator. I heard them admit it themselves at the dinner table. Call me selfish or say I don't know how to guide students, but I can't stand the students I lead becoming a social cancer."

“You did the right thing, but if someone else is willing to take over and lead the way, he’ll be in big trouble,” Yang Zhu sighed and shook his head.

Ge Wei pursed his lips. He had tried his best, but he simply couldn't accept associating with such people.

"Today, besides celebrating my enjoyment of the Star Alliance Assistant benefits, let's also wish Mr. Ge Wei all his dreams come true." Xing Yuan raised his glass, and everyone clinked glasses with him.

A week later, Xingyuan finally took Su Ninglong back to Zou's Bar, and Lei Qingya also went home for a visit.

The bar was bustling at night, with many young people in the crowd. Zou Shuyi had removed the gashapon (gacha) bonus for spending a certain amount.

People who can't buy tickets now and can only watch the live stream from the next room can only join the online group and show their spending number from last month. Those who spend more than three times can enter a prize draw.

The quota is issued in a single batch with a limited date. If the recipient does not attend, the quota will be cancelled. It is subject to real-name registration and is non-transferable.

But Zou Shuyi's actions did not make things much easier; on the contrary, they attracted more young people from different family backgrounds to her store.

The wealthy heiress Feng Ying took a different approach, working as a waitress at the bar every day for free, buying her own tickets. She did this solely to gain access to the hunters' mysterious circle.

Su Ninglong sat casually among the hunters, listening to them tell "ghost stories." But Ninglong seemed out of sorts. One hunter asked, "Ninglong, you haven't been back for a long time. We all miss you. Is it because your grades aren't good?"

Su Ninglong could hear the gloating in his voice. "My grades are great. If nothing unexpected happens, I'll become a hunter soon. You're only a two-star now. You need to hurry up. I'll catch up with you soon."

That's quite a boast.

"Sure, we'll wait for you to catch up. Then it'll be your turn to tell the story."

The seasoned veterans' answers were just as shameless as Suninglong's.

Xingyuan, who can't stay idle, is sitting behind the bar doing the work of an assistant.

The job duties of a Star Alliance Hunter Assistant are very different from those of a Guide; they no longer need to focus on learning and moral training around Su Ninglong.

As an assistant, he was given greater authority to access Star Alliance intelligence and was authorized to issue intelligence missions. He also received a monthly fund from the Star Alliance for mission settlement.

Xingyuan is currently issuing intelligence missions. The first one is to find out what kind of sect Gesa Sect is, the year it was founded, its members, and so on.

The second intelligence mission, a long-term mission, was requested by Su Ninglong.

"Has anyone you know mysteriously disappeared after participating in a certain activity?"

There has been no progress in the carrier experiment, but Su Ninglong feels that Xiao Liu may be related to the carrier experiment.

The Star Police heard that someone was investigating, but progress was slow, so Su Ninglong had no choice but to take the initiative.

He posted the two tasks on websites with high traffic, and the rewards were not generous, only available to those who were curious or interested.

There's also the Magai Transportation Company. Xingyuan doesn't dare to openly release an investigation into it, but this company is capable of doing cross-border business, so the chain of interests involved might be quite large.

Once things have truly calmed down on Youmu Star, he can consider hiring a detective to investigate.

The information about DI Company was obtained by Lei Qingya. She went home to attend a gathering of wealthy young men.

……

Lei's father sat in the tea room, watching his daughter hurriedly change into casual clothes and prepare to leave. "How's work lately?" he asked.

Lei Qingya stopped in her tracks. In the tea room, her melancholy and beautiful mother timidly held her teacup, seemingly unwilling to share a room with Lei's father.

Her pitiful yet pampered mother, in order to maintain her current refined lifestyle, will probably not escape the fate of having a second child.

Lei Qingya showed no pity for her and coldly said, "I have officially become a staff member of the Star Alliance. I am neither a net hunter nor a hunter."

"Where are you going now?"

"Go to a tea party organized by someone else and listen to some gossip about your circle."
