I slay evil in the Department of the Supernatural

Chapter 92-091: Flaming Breath and Fire Lotus, Compensation (Seeking Monthly Tickets)

The supplies area was filled with numerous sealed lockers.

A faint, supernatural energy, strong or weak, emanated from the various-sized compartments of the lockers.

Xu Lindong silently sensed these valuable items, suppressing the frequent agitation of the Tower Master.

He had just exchanged 8,000 merit points for the door god invitation, and now he only had 4,700 merit points left.

"Director Hu, I also need to use my privileges as a combat personnel to exchange for a charcoal-fired revolver. Here's the approval slip, and Captain Lu's explanation as well."

He handed over the documents bearing the red seal and got straight to the point.

The only extraordinary weapon he currently possesses is a giant scythe.

This was all thanks to my good relationship with the muscular Zhang Yue, which allowed me to get it for a low price.

The Charcoal Revolver is a proper long-range supernatural weapon, perfectly suited to unleash its hearth fire burst.

We're about to leave the city to clear out the zombies. With this thing, we can definitely take them down one by one with a single shot—fast and ruthless.

He even had a thought: if he ever encountered a tough opponent in the future, he would ride that powerful family motorcycle, firing sniper shots and flying kites as he went.

The thought of making it impossible for the enemy to catch up or dodge, only to be beaten, is exhilarating.

"A first-level executive officer's special privileges in combat include exemption from 2,000 merit points."

While eating the durian candy that emitted a strange smell, Director Hu checked the documents, looked up and smiled, "The charcoal-fired revolver is priced at two thousand five, you can add another five hundred."

Wow, Xu, you got promoted after just one trip?

Judging from the way your energy and spirit have improved, if you come back, you might really become a door god. The prodigy handpicked by the director is indeed extraordinary.

"Tianjiao doesn't offer discounts here."

Xu Lindong endured the durian smell in the other person's mouth, shook his head with a smile, and showed his newly updated Level 1 Executive Officer certificate, transferring his merits.

"I'll give you 500 merit points, and I'll take this gun."

"good!"

Director Hu stood up, took a gun case from the locked cabinet, and handed it to Xu Lindong.

"These extraordinary weapons are made of rare materials, have complex manufacturing processes, and require the maintenance of the stability of extraordinary substances, so their cost is naturally not low."

"This is the only one left in the company. If we want more, we'll have to apply to higher authorities."

"Tang Lei had previously switched to a Qi Blood Revolver. Unfortunately, he wasn't yet able to fully master it."

Xu Lindong opened the gleaming white metal box, inside which lay a black and red revolver.

The gun body appears to be made of a composite of carbon fiber and dark metal, with cold, hard lines. The grip is inlaid with dark red patterns, like solidified charcoal.

He reached out and picked it up, and the moment his fingertips touched it, his eyes narrowed.

"Kitchen God Charcoal?"

"You have good taste."

Director Hu peeled open another durian candy, smiled faintly, and said, "It does contain charcoal from the hearth, but it also contains other extraordinary metals, and even some hearth soil."

"To be able to fuse different extraordinary substances into one without causing conflict—only a blacksmith with real skill could do that."

"No wonder extraordinary weapons are so expensive."

Xu Lindong nodded, understanding why this type of equipment couldn't be widely adopted.

"Here you go. You'll definitely be going on a mission soon, so this box of special bullets will be obtained through mission payouts and won't count towards your merits."

As Director Hu spoke, he tossed a box of bullets to Xu Lindong.

"If you want to change it later, thirty shots will earn you one hundred merit points."

As he spoke, he took out three incense sticks and handed them to Xu Lindong as a replenishment for the incense consumed when dealing with the strange bicycle incident. This was a normal replenishment process.

"Thanks, Director Hu. I'll bring you a durian later. Eat less sugar, it's easy to get diabetes."

"You think you can bribe me with a durian? You think you can get rid of me with just one?"

Director Hu laughed and waved his hand dismissively, "There are fewer durians produced in the outer regions and Yuncheng now, so we can only satisfy our cravings. What else do you want? Everything is on this list."

He throws out a list.

"I'd also like to see the secret technique."

Xu Lindong chuckled, quickly packed away the supplies, and turned to browse the secret techniques.

There are many secret techniques in the Bureau of Mysteries, but they all require merit points to exchange for.

Most sequence superhumans rarely switch to these.

Because just mastering the basic abilities of one's own sequence already requires a lot of time and effort, and one must always be wary of the risk of extraordinary backlash.

Even Li Yunfan only recently mastered the art of cooking.

Only a few exceptionally talented individuals with sufficient self-confidence will exchange for additional secret techniques to cultivate.

Xu Lindong browsed for a while and saw the "Three Incenses in the Mouth" secret technique that Lei Chong had exchanged. This secret technique originated from the Maoshan lineage and was priced at eight hundred merit points.

But he wasn't very interested.

Burying yourself in the sand and waiting for rescue is too passive.

It's like handing your life over to someone else.

This secret technique can not only ward off evil spirits, but it is also useful for most kitchen officials who may encounter supernatural backlash.

But it's useless to him because he doesn't face any risk of backlash.

After looking around for a while, he finally chose two secret techniques: "Flame Breath" and "Fire Lotus".

Director Hu explained, "The secret technique of 'Breath of Flames' allows one to breathe fire from the stove after mastering it."

How far it can spray and how powerful it is depends entirely on your control over the stove fire.

It is said that at a highly advanced level, one can even compress flames in their mouth and exhale them, causing a violent explosion.

"This secret technique comes from the Celestial Masters sect; it was submitted to the Grand Commander by them."

"The Fire Lotus is derived from the Dragon and Tiger Dao, and it is more difficult to learn and perform, requiring extremely precise control over the fire in the stove."

"But you've already mastered 'The Fire of the Hearth,' so learning this shouldn't be a problem for you."

"Okay, I'll try these two."

Xu Lindong paid 2,200 merit points in exchange for two secret techniques.

His remaining merit points also dropped to two thousand.

"Breath of Flames" requires 700 merit points and Level 2 Executive Officer privileges, while "Fire Lotus" requires 1,500 merit points and Level 1 Executive Officer privileges.

People without sufficient permissions are simply unable to redeem the currency.

This is also to prevent external forces from planting people to steal precious secret techniques from the Bureau of Mysteries at will.

Setting access restrictions can significantly increase the difficulty of obtaining them.

If you want to change jobs, you have to make contributions or accumulate seniority first.

In this process, the risk of the infiltrator being exposed increases significantly.

Afterwards, Director Hu transferred the 300,000 yuan bonus to Xu Lindong's account and coughed lightly.

"Besides this 300,000, I estimate that you may receive a bonus of around 100,000 after a while, and even a subsidy for extraordinary drugs."

"what?"

Xu Lindong was somewhat surprised, "There's such a good thing?"

Director Hu scoffed, "This is not a good thing. It is compensation from the respective forces of those foreign superhumans who caused this trouble."

"There's also compensation?" Xu Lindong asked in surprise.

"Of course there is. You don't think that just because these foreigners came and caused trouble, you can get away with it without paying any price, do you?"

Director Hu sneered, "Although this group of people are a bunch of lunatics who cooperate with evil societies, pursuing thrills and extremism, they may have long since abandoned their original organization."

However, as long as their identities have been registered with the federal government, the federal government must bear the responsibility for it.

Similar incidents have happened in other cities before, and each time it was settled with compensation. The federal government also had to bleed money along with it.

He paused for a moment, then continued, "This time, the evil organization is causing a huge disturbance, not just in our city, but also in other cities."

I heard that the main reason was that a powerful figure above stole an important divine artifact from the evil society, attacked one of its secondary headquarters, and killed several elders.

Therefore, they are retaliating...

'

He smiled coldly, "But we can still deal with them. If they dare to retaliate, they're just asking for trouble and handing us a knife."

Don't be fooled by the fact that we seem to be at a slight disadvantage now.

But the higher-ups will definitely seize this opportunity to not only crack down on the evil society, but also to put pressure on the Federation.

There needs to be bleeding over there.

They might even take this opportunity to launch a weeding operation, sending the Elite Team over to clear the weeds!

"So assertive?" Xu Lindong felt much more at ease.

It's a pity his strength is a bit weak now, otherwise he would like to go over and clear the weeds too.

After chatting with Director Hu for a while.

More colleagues came to the supplies department to exchange for items, and one person even brought a durian, making the whole room stink.

They said they were eating together, but it was obvious they were just trying to curry favor with Director Hu.

It's clear that things haven't been peaceful lately, and everyone wants to be prepared.

Upon seeing Xu Lindong, his colleagues immediately greeted him warmly.

Xu Lindong has now become a star player for the third team. If Lu Qian gets promoted in the future, he may be promoted to captain. Therefore, everyone wants to build a good relationship with him.

After exchanging pleasantries with everyone, Xu Lindong left with a pile of valuable supplies he had exchanged, as well as two bottles of Level 3 Extraordinary Potions he had just received, and returned to his rest room in the Department of Divine Wonders.

Just as I reached the door of the lounge with its marble-tiled floor, the door to the room opposite opened.

A pretty, well-proportioned girl with slender legs and a plump figure walked out, wearing a JK skirt and black combat boots, looking youthful and lively.

Upon seeing Xu Lindong, she immediately bowed with a mixture of excitement and unease.

"Senior, senior!"

Xu Lindong, carrying a pile of things, turned around at the sound and recognized the person: "You—you look like Xiao—"

"Xiao Mufeng! He's a teammate from the same university as you." The young girl quickly looked up, blushing as she reminded him.

"Yes, I know you're a member of my team."

Xu Lindong smiled and nodded, his gaze sharpening as the light fell on the gun in her hand.

"Is that... a charcoal-fired revolver?"

"Ah, yes, yes. This is a birthday present from my dad."

Xiao Mufeng was a little embarrassed. "I'm going to the training ground to practice shooting. Would you like to come along, senior?"

"So she's a well-off young lady from a good family. Her father might also be a powerful superhuman—to give her such a birthday gift."

Xu Lindong muttered to himself, and suddenly the charcoal-fired revolver he had just received didn't seem so appealing anymore.

Good heavens, Director Hu even said this gun is precious, and the department only has one.

Then, another one popped up in the blink of an eye.

He maintained a polite smile: "No, senior still needs to figure out how to break through to become a gatekeeper. Let's practice shooting together with the junior next time."

His marksmanship wasn't very good to begin with, and he didn't want to embarrass himself in front of the female students.

"You're so amazing, senior!"

Xiao Mufeng's beautiful eyes were filled with admiration, "He's about to become a gatekeeper so quickly! No wonder he was once a top ten student at Jiangcheng Academy!"

Xu Lindong felt somewhat uncomfortable.

It was the first time I'd ever been praised with such adoration from a junior high school student, but it did sound really nice.

He smiled and nodded, saying, "It's not exactly fast; it's taken almost half a year. Keep up the good work!"

"Yes! I will definitely work hard to catch up with you, senior! Please give me lots of guidance in the future!"

Xiao Mufeng bowed again with humility at a 90-degree angle.

"A polite and well-mannered child."

Xu Lindong smiled to himself, then opened the wooden door and entered the spacious house with two bedrooms and a living room.

Xiao Mufeng stared at the closed door, glanced at the lit-up number 301, and then gripped the gun in her hand tightly. The admiration in her beautiful eyes gradually turned into calmness and a hint of respect.

"He should be the most promising superhuman of his age in this department right now, and he's probably even surpassing He Shaojun from Team One by quite a bit..."

She's now on par with her senior, Lu Qian.

"My father was right to send me to the branch for training. I thought that I could look down on my peers by ranking in the top three in the academy and being promoted to kitchen officer."

But my senior is also very outstanding; he became a top-performing student in just over half a year...

95

She turned and quickly left, gun in hand.

Shooting can not only enhance her combat skills, but also quickly help her digest the extraordinary substances in her body and control the stove fire.

After all, she was walking a different path, a mature path that her father had laid out for her.

The extraordinary qualities that make one a kitchen god are different from those of others.

The extraordinary substance she absorbed was not the charcoal of the hearth god, but a lump of extremely expensive hearth soil, also known as Fulong liver.

She needs to catch up quickly so that she can make it onto the shortlist before the Tianjiao Program recruitment ends.

In the lobby of the lounge, Xu Lindong sat on a leather sofa and first opened his phone to search online for shops that made custom-made clothing and Taoist items.

He selected several reputable businesses and purchased all the necessary props for playing the role of a corpse driver, either through custom orders or by placing direct orders.

Actually, the supplies department also has similar items.

He had caught a glimpse of it when he was exchanging it earlier.

But those are all extraordinary equipment, and they are very expensive.

If it's just for learning role-playing techniques, there's no need to use such a high-quality one right now, and it's also easy for others to spot the problem.

For now, using the standard style as a substitute is sufficient; it can be studied as a hobby.

After doing these things.

Xu Lindong piled the exchanged supplies on the table.

He didn't rush to turn on his computer and log into the intranet to learn the two secret techniques, "Flame Breathing" and "Fire Lotus".

Instead, he first picked up the door god poster depicting Qin Qiong and examined it carefully.

Breaking through to the Nine Gates God level in the promotion sequence is what I need to do in the next two days.

As for practicing shooting, learning secret techniques, and figuring out how to act as a corpse driver, all of that can wait until after the promotion.

Xu Lindong walked to the door and stuck the door god sticker on the door panel.

In an instant, a strange and profound divine power emanated from the scroll, quickly covering the entire door.

At the same time, the essentials for becoming a door god quickly flashed through his mind—
