My supernatural profession is too unique.

"Time to get up and collect the corpse!"

The hoarse, shrill voice made Li Ling suddenly open his eyes.

The jade phone on the bedside table glowed faintly.

Yawning, Li Ling picked up her phone and turned off the alarm she had set.

I rubbed my face vigorously, forcibly dispelling my drowsiness, and crawled out of bed.

He got out of bed and glanced around.

The room looked fairly spacious because there wasn't much in it.

A wooden bed, a wooden table, a coffee table, two stools, and a wardrobe.

A wooden table was placed in front of the window, with some daily necessities and a basin of cold water scattered on it.

To the right of the wooden table is a wardrobe, the wood grain on its surface somewhat mottled.

In the middle is a tea table with a tea set and bowls and chopsticks on it.

These are all of Li Ling's belongings.

Li Ling walked to the table, lowered her head, reached into the washbasin, scooped up a handful of cold water, and washed her face.

During the Mid-Autumn Festival, the cool, refreshing water immediately invigorated him.

You know, he worked overtime until 1:30 last night, and it's only 5:30 now.

I slept for less than four hours in total.

Looking up, you can see the crescent moon hanging high in the sky outside the window, emitting a soft, gentle glow.

After shaking off his weariness, he sat down on the floor and took out a storage bag he always carried with him.

He used his divine sense to enter the storage bag and took out the only remaining low-grade spirit crystal.

As a trainee police officer, he receives a monthly salary of 1,500 yuan, plus a low-grade spirit crystal.

Because I accepted the corpse collection mission, I received an extra low-grade spirit crystal as a reward.

There is no spiritual energy in the dormitory, so cultivation can only be achieved by using spirit crystals.

Holding a thumb-sized, crystal-clear spirit stone, Li Ling circulated the Crimson Fire Technique.

This "Crimson Fire Technique" was the main cultivation method he practiced at the academy; it was a common, widely used Qi cultivation method.

Fortunately, it was a perfect match for his profession as a kitchen official.

It is a natural match for the stove god who gathers the stove fire.

He always believed that the best shoes are those that fit your feet best.

A burst of fiery spiritual light quickly condensed in his hand.

As the spiritual light flickered, it enveloped the spirit crystal.

Soon, the surface of the spirit crystal began to shimmer and emit wisps of spiritual energy.

As he breathed, spiritual energy entered his body.

This continued for more than an hour, and Li Ling had already used up one-third of the spirit crystals in his hand.

[Kitchen Official Trainee Police Officer] Favorability +0.5 (Training progress is good)

A notification appeared on the panel, and Li Ling's lips twitched.

That's incredibly stingy!

Give the whole 0.5.

Fortunately, it was just a side benefit; every little bit helps!

However, he was satisfied with this progress in his cultivation.

According to the memories of the previous owner, originally, one could only refine and absorb one-fifth of a spirit crystal stone in a single cultivation session.

Moreover, it lasts for two hours, during which time the spiritual energy is lost.

However, he has [Flame Affinity], which more than doubles the effect and results in very little loss of spiritual energy.

To maximize the use of spirit crystals.

This is also an advantage that the professional panel brings him.

After putting the remaining spirit crystals into his storage bag, he got up and went to the balcony.

It was already bright outside.

To the right of the balcony are the washbasin and the toilet.

A mirror hangs on the washstand.

Li Ling's gaze swept over them.

A handsome and dashing man appeared in the mirror.

Alas, it's a pity that looks alone can't turn things around!

Li Ling sighed inwardly.

Then I quickly washed up and went to the toilet.

Then I left the dormitory.

The dormitory was located inside the crematorium, and a pungent smell permeated the surroundings.

This smell is mixed with a sinister aura.

Long-term inhalation is extremely harmful.

Fortunately, he has the profession of "corpse collector," which allows him to adapt to this yin and evil energy.

The courtyard was quiet, and there was no one else around.

After leaving the courtyard, turn right and walk a few dozen meters to reach the street in front of the hospital.

"A meat bun costs two yuan, and there's plenty of meat in it."

"Authentic Chenxian rice noodles, three yuan a bowl."

Various shouts and calls rose and fell.

Only then did Li Ling feel the lively atmosphere of Xijiang County.

There are several breakfast shops on both sides of the street.

Some vendors sell porridge, side dishes, and steamed buns, while others sell convenient foods such as soy milk and fried dough sticks, as well as various noodle soups.

The rich aroma of food made Li Ling's stomach rumble uncontrollably.

He walked up to the steamed bun vendor, his eyes sweeping over the tempting meat buns, then gritted his teeth, took out a dollar from his pocket, and bought two large steamed buns.

He ate the steamed bun as he quickened his pace toward the police station on West Street.

It's a two-mile distance from here to West Street, and there are two bus stops.

However, in order to save a few cents on the bus fare, Li Ling chose to leave ten minutes earlier and walk there.

He was in such dire straits because he had no other choice.

His family has already spent tens of thousands of yuan to send him to college and help him develop his professional skills.

Nearly 40,000 of them were borrowed from other members of the clan.

He's working now and needs to pay back the debt as soon as possible.

And my younger sister is a junior in high school this year.

I need to take the awakening test at the end of the year, which will also require some money.

My father works at an oil depot, earning 1,500 a month, which is barely enough to cover the family's expenses.

Thinking of this, another thing popped into Li Ling's mind.

He was promoted to a full-fledged police officer.

On the favorability panel of the 【Kitchen Official Trainee Police Officer】, a line of text slowly appeared.

[To be completed] Passed the trainee police officer assessment, favorability +10.

Good guy.

He seemed even more anxious than him.

After finishing the two steamed buns, Li Ling picked up the water bottle at his waist, drank a few mouthfuls of cold boiled water, and quickened his pace.

Beep!

As he arrived at the entrance of the police station, his jade phone rang.

He took out his phone and saw a message notification appear in the police station's group chat.

He immediately opened the group chat and saw that Captain Lu Lingyun was issuing orders.

"An accident has occurred in Sanming Community, resulting in death. It is suspected to be caused by evil spirits. Anyone nearby, or those who have already gone to the police station, should go there immediately to investigate the cause and prevent the spread of evil influences."

"Captain Lu, I just left home, I'm afraid I won't make it in time."

Someone replied immediately.

There's still more than half an hour before the official start of work.

"Yeah, right now, I guess only Xiao Li is working."

Everyone in the group knows that Li Ling arrives at the office more than half an hour early every day.

Li Ling raised an eyebrow.

I don't have enough points to become a full-fledged employee yet.

Completing daily cases can also increase professional favorability and help improve cultivation.

With this in mind, he replied in the group, "I've arrived at the institute and can leave immediately."

Lu Lingyun then sent a message with the specific address of the case.

He also instructed them to handle it carefully.

[Kitchen Assistant Police Officer] Favorability +1 (Willing to accept challenges)

A line of small text appeared on the panel: "[Kitchen Official Trainee Police Officer]".

Li Ling's gaze immediately darkened; this was likely quite risky.

However, since we'd already accepted the offer, we had no choice but to bite the bullet and get on with it.

Then, we arrived at the parking lot on the left.

Take out the shuttle key assigned by the institute.

Start a slightly old-fashioned little flying shuttle named Feng.

hum!

A deep hum sounded, and the shuttle smoothly lifted off the ground and hovered in the air.

Li Ling, familiar with piloting the shuttle, drove it out of the gate and into the street.
