What's wrong with me, a powerful minister, supporting a few female officials?

Chapter 85 Su Mo Becomes an Official! (Please Subscribe)

Su Mo was instantly shocked when he saw the system notification that suddenly popped up.

I just wanted to boost my favorability rating by ten or eight points so I could get more benefits later.

And then a royal flush came out!
The surprise came too suddenly.

[Hint: Target's favorability has exceeded 80%]

You can receive one of the following rewards (choose one)

[Reward 1: The minimum favorability level is permanently fixed at 60%, and the current favorability level will not decrease.]

[Reward 2: 1 point of permanent intimacy (Dual cultivation effect +10%)]

[Hint: The next reward will be given when your favorability rating exceeds 90%. Keep up the good work!]

……

The system even has this function!
After reading the descriptions of the two rewards.

Su Mo was conflicted!
Permanently solidify Lin Moyin's favorability; the benefits are obvious—she'll be your unwavering support from now on!
But the second reward is even more tempting.

In the end, Su Mo chose the second reward.

The reason is simple.

It's better to rely on yourself than on others!
The effects of dual cultivation are enhanced, and one's own cultivation efficiency will naturally increase accordingly. Perhaps the same applies to Lord Baihu.

This is double the reward!

Most importantly, Su Mo was confident that he could maintain the centurion's favorability and prevent it from dropping below sixty.

Whether it solidifies or not is of little significance.

At worst, I'll just do dual cultivation a few more times!

With Su Mo's selection.

Suddenly, an intimacy level appeared above Lin Moyin's head.

Affection level 80%! Intimacy level 1!

Su Mo suddenly remembered that the latest mission seemed to also have an intimacy reward.

If the task is completed, wouldn't the dual cultivation effect be increased by 20%?

Advancing to the Body Observation Realm is just around the corner!

Lord Baihu, you are truly a treasure girl, with even greater potential than Lady Chen!

Su Mo became more and more excited as she thought about it!
Unfortunately, the progress bar spiked to 80% and then stopped moving.

If it rises to 90%, not only will there be a reward, but the female commander might also have a line added: "If you betray me, I will not betray you!"
The revolution is not yet complete, Su Mo must continue his efforts!
Seeing Su Mo staring at her intently with such excitement, the female officer blushed even more, biting her lip and whispering, "Why are you looking at me like that!"

Her voice grew softer and softer as she spoke, and her pretty face blushed even more: "In the future, when we're out, well, when no one's around, you can call me... Mo'er."

"However, when there are outsiders present, you still have to call me 'Sir'!"

Su Mo was dumbfounded.

Who would have thought that the aloof, arrogant, and ruthless centurion would have such a shy side?
He was about to speak.

Lin Moyin suddenly added another sentence.

"I forgot to tell you, your junior officer position has been approved..."

"What?" Su Mo was immediately taken aback. "My junior officer position has been approved?"

The system reward for the junior officer is quite good.

The problem is, it's only been two days.

The appointment of a junior officer requires approval from the Southern Garrison of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

The Southern Garrison Command was located far away in the capital, a thousand miles from Changping County.

How come it was approved so quickly?
However, the system reminded us again that the junior officer's reward had been issued.

Only one reward remains to be determined!
Seeing Su Mo's stunned expression, Lin Moyin couldn't help but chuckle and explained, "That night, the garrison suffered many casualties, including a junior officer who was killed in action."

"I will then send your application to recommend you as a junior officer of the Changping Hundred Household Office along with the news of victory to the capital."

"I just received a reply this morning. The Southern Garrison Command has approved your appointment as a junior officer of the Jiazi Group of the Changping County Hundred-Household Office!"

As she spoke, she took out a bronze ivory tag and handed it to Su Mo: "This is a junior officer's ivory tag, don't lose it!"

Su Mo subconsciously took the ivory tag.

It's heavy, made of brass, and much more exquisite than the old wooden ivory pendant.

His name, number, and the words "Jiazi Group Flag" were engraved on it.

So I've become an official?
Moreover, the starting point is a seventh-rank military officer!

It wasn't the kind of low-ranking, unranked official.

From then on, he became a powerful backer in the eyes of countless people.
Su Mo's eyes slowly turned burning hot!

I can hardly contain my excitement!
We've finally taken the most crucial step!

A few days ago, my biggest goal was just to become a clerk in the government office and marry the young widow Qin!
Now, he's become an official.

He also got a woman who was a high-ranking official, who was practically a fifth-rank official!

Imagine how excited my third uncle, who dreams of becoming a minor official, would be upon hearing this news!
Su Mo let out a deep breath.

He was genuinely grateful to Lord Baihu.

She actually sent news of her promotion to junior officer to the capital along with the victory report!
This shows how much you care about yourself!

But Su Mo was still puzzled: "My lord, isn't this place a thousand miles away from the capital?"

"The good news got through so quickly?"

Lin Moyin hesitated for a moment, then whispered, "The Embroidered Uniform Guard has a secret method of communication that can reach a distance of a thousand miles in an hour, but it cannot be used unless it is an emergency."

She paused, her eyebrows furrowing slightly as she looked at Su Mo with some suspicion.

"I also can't understand why the Southern Garrison Command approved your appointment so quickly!"

“Normally, even without any obstacles, it would take at least thirty days from figuring out your background to completing the review process!” Su Mo laughed, “If you can’t figure it out, don’t think about it for now!”

"It can't be a bad thing!"

As he spoke, he took out the blueprints and handed them to Lin Moyin, then suddenly remembered something.

The two have now confirmed their relationship as Daoist partners, and Su Mo didn't beat around the bush.

"Sir, after you obtained the method of refining alcohol, whose connections do you plan to use?"

Lin Moyin replied without hesitation: "Lu Wenxuan, Vice Commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard."

Upon hearing this, Su Mo frowned: "Why?"

Lin Moyin explained, "The Commander is a fourth-rank official, and he is also the highest-ranking Jinyiwei official I can come into contact with!"

"The Assistant Commander is second only to the Commander and the Deputy Commander, and has enough power to influence the appointment of a Thousand-Household Commander!"

"In addition, he has a slight relationship with my master."

Then, she suddenly hesitated: "Besides, this person has a bad reputation..."

Su Mo was taken aback: "What reputation?"

Lin Moyin gave Su Mo a strange look and slowly uttered four words: "Greedy for money and lustful!"

Su Mo...

If he's greedy and lustful, then he is!

What's the meaning of looking at yourself?
Su Mo's expression was serious: "Please, sir, next time you say that, don't look at me like that!"

"Or else, give me back the brewing method!"

Lin Moyin couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright, alright!"

"I won't say you're greedy, okay!"

Su Mo's forehead creased with annoyance: "So all that's left is lust?"

Lin Moyin winked playfully at her beautiful eyes: "Isn't that right?"

Su Mo thought for a moment and said, "This humble servant suddenly feels that it would be better for you to be a bit aloof, my lord!"

Lin Moyin snorted, her expression changing instantly, her tone turning cold: "Isn't that right?"

Su Mo...

He decided to stop delving into issues like greed and lust.

The conversation shifted abruptly: "Sir, have you ever heard of the name Wei Zhengguang?"

Lin Moyin was immediately taken aback, her pretty face full of suspicion as she stared at Su Mo: "Why did you suddenly bring him up?"

"Wei Zhengguang, one of the four vice commanders of the garrison, is a fourth-rank vice commander along with Lu Wenxuan."

How did you know him?

Su Mo said in a deep voice, "Don't ask me where I heard that."

"Anyway, I know that this person is greedy by nature, but has professional ethics..."

Lin Moyin was taken aback: "Professional ethics?"

Su Mo slapped his forehead, then subconsciously used a term from later times, and could only explain, "It means that if you take the money, you can get things done, just like Zhong Sanyuan."

Lin Moyin frowned slightly: "You mean, you want me to go through his connections?"

"But Vice Commissioner Wei was utterly loyal to the Emperor, renowned for his integrity, incorruptibility, and impartiality..."

Su Mo didn't know how to explain the reason for the task prompt.

However, now that the two are close, they can speak very directly. He waved his hand and said, "You can trust me!"

"If you buy an official position from him, there's an eight or nine out of ten chance that your ambitions will be fulfilled."

Lin Moyin hesitated for a moment, then finally gave a soft "hmm".

Su Mo then reminded the female commander, "This wine is called Chen Family Brew, and the name cannot be changed!"

"Tell him that no matter how much aged liquor he brews, you should take 10% of the profits!"

Lin Moyin frowned: "Chen's brew is fine."

"But is he willing to give away even 10% of the profits?"

"Even if you agree now, you can always back out later!"

She thought for a moment and said, "How about I find a merchant and sell the winemaking method?"

Such a secret recipe could easily fetch 30,000 to 50,000 taels of silver.

It only costs three thousand taels to secure an official position.

The female centurion was very good at calculating.

Su Mo has no rank or grade and cannot be sold.

She was, after all, a sixth-rank Jinyiwei commander, and could easily handle tens of thousands of taels of silver!

Su Mo shook his head and smiled, "It's not about the money."

"Even if you only want 10% of a big business that earns more than 10,000 taels a year, he will not be willing to give it up."

"This person values ​​integrity; once he agrees, he is unlikely to go back on his word."

"In this way, I can deepen my relationship with this person and avoid a one-off deal. At worst, I can give him some benefits later."

With that, Su Mo sneered, "If he breaks his promise, and this method came from my hand, I will naturally have countermeasures!"

Lin Moyin's eyes glistened with moisture.

She knew that Su Mo was paving the way for her.

After staring at Su Mo for a long time, she suddenly said, "Why don't you come with me, Su Lang, to the capital?"

What are you talking about, a billion words? I don't understand at all! Hmph, I'm going back to writing. I still have 6 or 7 chapters left to write today.
