Looking at He Ao's calm demeanor, Yang De knew he was waiting for him to name his price.

"As for the reward for protecting the cruise ship last night, what do you want? Extraordinary items, money, or power?"

He Ao remained silent.

"If you were in the overseas department, based on your achievements and accomplishments this time, you would be qualified to become the deputy director of the overseas department. You would be able to mobilize most of the resources of the research institute's overseas institutions, and the compensation would be generous. You would also be able to access the extraordinary items in the research institute's warehouse as needed for the mission."

"Although you haven't joined the overseas department, we can skip this step and you can come directly to be my deputy. Are you interested?"

Yang De turned around, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, looking at He Ao.

This is a right.

This is the right that He Ao wants.

With this position, he could legitimately use certain pretexts to mobilize the research institute's intelligence department.

"Do I have to go to work and perform fixed tasks?"

He asked softly.

"of course yes."

Yang De smiled.

"

I'm not interested.

He Ao shrugged.

This position is good, but he has to enter the instance world every now and then, and he doesn't know how long he'll stay. If he's assigned a critical mission in real life and happens to enter the instance world at that time, it will be troublesome. He still prefers to be more free and proactive.

“How about this?” Yang De seemed to have guessed He Ao’s answer. He smiled and said, “I’d like to invite you to be the honorary vice minister of the overseas department. All benefits will remain the same, but you won’t have to work regular hours. If there are any assignments, I will contact you directly. You can choose to accept or not.”

Under these conditions, theoretically, He Ao could refuse all tasks, receive the research institute's salary for free, and enjoy the institute's resources.

It's a little too good.

"Was this a position originally held by the research institute?"

He Ao looked at Yang De with a puzzled expression.

“No,” Yang De shook his head, “this was invented especially for you. How about it, are you interested?”

"May I know why?"

He asked calmly.

“I’m getting old,” Yang De said, a cigarette dangling from his lips as he looked out at the boundless sea. The sea breeze whipped up wisps of smoke, ruffling his disheveled hair. “So, I always want to make some good connections.”

He Ao was silent for a moment, then nodded slightly, "Okay."

The sea breeze ruffled their clothes, making a soft rustling sound.

“Speaking of which,” Yang De suddenly remembered something, took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to He Ao, “someone delivered it to the research institute this morning, it seems to be from the leader of the Coast Guard, the largest force in Alano.”

He Ao took the letter with some doubt, as he had never had any contact with this leader.

The envelope was in a crisp, sturdy box. He Ao tore it open, took out the letter inside, and unfolded it. Inside was a very short letter, written in neat Chinese characters, with strong, sharp handwriting.

[To my 'mercenary' brother:]

I heard that last night the wind rose, and my brother went alone into the enemy ship, wielding his sword to defeat the enemy, his spirit overwhelming the mountains and rivers.

This is the epitome of a heroic tale.

I long to befriend you, brother, but I don't know why. So I'm writing this letter and entrusting it to you.

If you wish to come again in the future, you may seek me out.

My family always keeps fine wine and tea on hand to welcome gentlemen.

To put it simply, this person wants to befriend Heo so that Heo can visit him next time he goes to Arano.

but,

"Why is this person speaking in such a vague and ambiguous way?"

He Ao looked at Yang De.

“I don’t know,” Yang De shook his head. “I heard that this leader is half Middle-earth blood, so he might like Middle-earth culture. However, he is a very capable person and is now on good terms with the research institute. If you come to Alano again next time, you can visit him and maybe get some help.”

"Ah."

He Ao nodded slightly.

······

After exchanging some words with Yang De about the deputy minister's benefits and perks, He Ao turned and went back to his cabin.

The deputy minister's appointment letter and contract will be brought over tomorrow.

He closed the cabin door, put down his suitcase, removed the three batteries from the mecha, then found some wires, inserted one end into the battery socket and fixed it, and fixed the other end to the plug, and then connected the batteries to the power source.

This high-performance battery can adapt

Depending on the voltage, charging isn't that complicated. There's no special plug; just connect the cable and plug it into a regular power source to charge. However, the voltage, current, and power are low, so it will charge a bit slower.

After charging the battery, He Ao took out the pirate treasure chest.

This box is indeed a C-grade box. It's very useful for Heo, but not very useful for Balan.

The reason is simple: this box is a supplementary supernatural item.

This box can hold items with a maximum volume of one cubic meter, up to a maximum of five items, with a maximum grade of C. However, each time you open the box, you must first put in a supernatural item before you can take out any items inside. If you don't have any supernatural items to put in, your soul will be absorbed by the box as the price for opening it.

Interestingly, the box must be bound to its owner. The owner can sacrifice someone else's soul as the price to open the box, and after opening the box, the owner can take out an item.

However, if you want to keep taking things out, you have to keep putting things in. You put one thing in and take one thing out, but the number of times you take things out doesn't accumulate. Once the box is closed, you have to put new things in again when you open it again.

Besides the owner, other people can also open the box. They need to put extraordinary items inside, but they can't take them out. It's like being robbed by the box. Those with extraordinary items will have their extraordinary items stolen, and those without extraordinary items will have their souls stolen.

However, this box can actually be bypassed by exploiting a bug. If the owner has two extraordinary items, they can put one in and take the other out, alternating between them.

Unfortunately, Balan didn't have any extraordinary items, so he could only leave the box outside as a trap to absorb souls. However, once the pirate treasure chest recognizes its owner, it will form a certain connection with the owner, allowing the owner to vaguely sense its location and not worry about losing it.

Of course, Balan didn't find the cruise ship because of the pirate treasure chest on Heo's body.

Clearly, from beginning to end, Balan was trying to track the cruise ship's location via its Automatic Identification System (AIS), since he had been following the cruise ship since the beginning, before Heo got the treasure chest.

Returning to the topic of pirate treasure chests, these chests constantly try to attract others to open them, even their own owners.

However, after some thought, He Ao discovered another potential flaw in the box.

He opened the box, and as a condition for opening it, he put in the useless scales of arbitration.

Then he closed the box.

Once the box is closed, new items need to be put in it to open it again.

But this time, Heo didn't open the box. Instead, he placed his hand on the box and activated his miracle magic.

Get things from the air!

The scales of arbitration appeared in his hands in an instant.

Sure enough, telekinesis can take things directly out of the box, although it consumes more energy.

Although pirate treasure chests have an absurdly large amount of space, they are still classified as chests by telekinesis. As long as it's a chest, you can try to use telekinesis to take its contents.

come out.

However, there are prerequisites for using telekinesis. He Ao must know what the contents of the box are and what they look like in order to take them out.

The instant Heo took out the scales of arbitration, Heo felt the pirate treasure chest jump, as if it were very angry.

Then Heo took out the Miracle Wand and placed it next to it.

So the pirate treasure chest got angry for a moment, but then it couldn't stay angry anymore.

Then He Ao placed the Arbitration Scales in front of the pirate treasure chest, and without opening the chest, used his telekinetic ability to put the Arbitration Scales back into the chest.

Before the pirate treasure chest could even react to the extraordinary items inside returning, Heo took out the arbitral scales again.

And so it went back and forth like that.

At first, the pirate chest tried to struggle, cautiously expressing its anger next to the miracle wand, but later it just stopped moving altogether.

After trying it a few times and confirming that there was no problem, He Ao put the arbitration scales back into the box.

Then he picked up the puppet crystal ball, gently lifted it, and sent it into the box. At this moment, his connection with 'Hu Wen,' who had become a puppet, was not broken.

This means that the box will not sever this spiritual connection.

He Ao thought for a moment and then put the bone sword into the box as well.

There are now three items in the box, because they were put in by telekinesis, which bypasses the restriction that supernatural items must be placed inside.

He glanced at the silver briefcase with the battery removed next to him, and put the briefcase into the box as well.

Now, he only needs to use 'Disappearance' to conceal the existence of the pirate treasure chest, allowing him to carry these items without being detected.

Although pirate treasure chests seem to be rare and extraordinary items with storage capabilities, due to their special storage rules, only one item can be taken out at a time, and it must be put back in before each use, so they are not actually that useful.

However, in the hands of Heo, who possesses the Miracle Wand and the ability to 'telekinesis,' its complex rules can be circumvented to maximize its power.

He Ao removed the multicolored ring, interrupting the accumulation of his charm ability, then put away the pirate treasure chest and quietly looked out at the sea.

Sunset and moonrise.

As the dazzling stars hung like pearls in the sky, the countdown in He Ao's vision reset to zero once again.
