My exclusive card pool

Chapter 8 Registration and Compensation
Cupid Housekeeping, first floor lobby.

The members of Group 2 had already changed out of their protective suits and were sitting on the sofa with tired looks on their faces.

Deputy Director Lin Zhifeng rushed over after hearing the news. After understanding the situation, he asked solemnly:
"How are Du Chuan and Du Bo?"

"The outlook isn't optimistic," Team Leader Raven shook his head. "They received emergency treatment at the defense team's temporary base and have now been sent to Jasmine Hospital in Shuguang District for follow-up treatment and observation."

"Alas, the aftermath of disasters is unpredictable. No one could have imagined it would happen this time."

"I'm glad you guys are okay."

Lin Zhifeng frowned and said a few more words to comfort her.

"I'll report this to the company. Team Two will be taking a week's paid leave. As usual, there will be corresponding workers' compensation and accident compensation."

Although there were holidays and compensation, everyone could only force a smile and their mood was still very heavy.

Seeing this, the fat man turned his head and looked at Wang Xi.

"You're not scared at all that you encountered Yuzai on your first day at work, are you?"

"It's okay, Brother Lin." Wang Xi said softly.

"I just heard Yuhe say that you're quite skilled. You used a crowbar to help her escape from the encirclement of dozens of monsters?"

Lin Zhifeng asked with a smile.

Hearing this, the others also cast their gazes towards the new young colleague. They hadn't had time to ask in detail at the disaster site, but they were all curious.

"I like to exercise normally."

Wang Xi didn't want to reveal his ability to travel to other worlds, so he smiled shyly, but still looked frightened.

"Thanks to my good luck, I managed to survive."

"You're too modest. Most people can't do that."

Lin Zhifeng shook his head with emotion.

He asked tentatively:

"Tell me the truth, what's your current amateur hero rank? There's nothing to hide. The company will focus on training capable employees, and the benefits will be better."

Amateur Warrior...

Memories flashed in Wang Xi's mind.

This is a status level in the "Brave Association", aimed at those brave warriors who have not passed the professional brave assessment but whose strength exceeds that of ordinary people.

They either possess a certain number of artificial wild cards, or have a strong physique through special potions or prosthetic surgery.

Unlike professional heroes who are graded from one to five stars, amateur heroes have a maximum grade of nine.

Those above level 6 are already qualified to enter the maze and are more likely to survive disasters.

"Brother Lin, I'm not a hero yet."

Wang Xi told the truth.

Lin Zhifeng and the others looked at each other, thought for a moment, and then smiled:
"That's right. You just graduated, so you might not have taken the Brave Association's assessment yet... Actually, the company has priority in this regard. There's a collective assessment next week. Do you want to apply?"

"Xiao Wang, I suggest you participate."

At this time, Raven joined the conversation and whispered.

"It's a rare opportunity. If you apply on your own, I don't know how long you'll have to wait... Anyway, there's nothing to lose by trying. If you happen to get an amateur hero certificate, no matter how high it is, it will definitely be beneficial."

His tone was serious, like a veteran teaching the younger generation.

"You just entered the workforce and don't understand. This stuff is very useful! The simplest example is that if you have a certificate or not, your salary at the company will be different. For example, I'm a third-level..."

"cough!"

Lin Zhifeng coughed at this time.

Raven quickly shut up and just gave a wink.

Ms. Goffin jokingly said:
"Hey bro, I heard you're single. Having a certificate would make you more popular with girls."

"Hey hey hey! What do you mean?"

At this time, Zhu Yuhe called out in dissatisfaction.

Everyone laughed.

Wang Xi thought about it and said to the fat deputy director:
"Brother Lin, then I will apply for registration."

"Okay." Lin Zhifeng said with a smile. "Just wait for notification when the time comes."

After some small talk.

The fat deputy director stood up and prepared to leave.

"By the way, your operation today was unexpectedly interrupted, and the collected body parts haven't been delivered to the warehouse yet, right?"

Lin Zhifeng seemed to remember something and asked.

"Well, I haven't had time to send it yet."

Team leader Raven replied.

Lin Zhifeng smiled and said:
"It just so happens that I need to go to the warehouse and I'll deliver it to you."

"Okay, thank you, Manager Lin."

Raven called out to everyone, gathered everyone's "burial box" cards, and handed them to Lin Zhifeng.

After the fat man walked away, Wang Xi took another look at his back without saying a word.

Being observant, he just noticed that there was a noticeable smile on Lin Zhifeng's lips.

This is not surprising.

But the question is, what is there to be happy about?
...

...

The night is deep.

Gucheng, Chaodu District.

Room 1002, Building A, Prism Community.

In the living room, a figure lay powerlessly on the ground, wriggling like a maggot, and making strange, meaningless long moans from its mouth.

"Uh...hungry..."

Wang Xi covered her stomach, arched her back and raised her hips, looking as if she had lost all hope in life.

When he got home, he remembered that the refrigerator was empty.

I wanted to order takeout, but I was broke. On the way back, I had to take a ride with my team leader, Lei Wen, or I would have had to take the No. 11 bus.

"I should have asked Brother Lin for an advance on my salary earlier. Now I just want to eat, eat, eat!"

Doodle.

At this time, Wang Xi's cell phone rang again.

He sighed, reached out weakly, and picked up his cell phone from the carpet beside him.

The off-screen interface showed a cute pink-haired loli who blinked at Wang Xi and said in a sweet voice, "I love you, Master."

Wang Xi unlocked the screen.

There were several message notifications, but most of them were sent by that female colleague Zhu Yuhe.

The content was nothing more than that she wanted to ask him out for a date during the next week off. 'Oh, woman, you're attracted to my beauty.'

Wang Xichun pretended not to see it and chose to deal with it coldly.

Then scroll to the latest message.

Suddenly, his face lit up with joy and he jumped up from the ground.

The phone screen showed:

"Dear Mr. Wang Xi (Third-Class Citizen), your personal account has received a transfer from 'Cupid Housekeeping': 20,000 credit points. Current balance: 20,000 credit points."

He didn't expect the company to be so efficient.

I had an accident on my first day at work and the compensation was paid to me that evening.

Now that he had the money, the first thing Wang Xi did was to order a delicious takeout meal.

In line with the principle of treating myself well, I happily spent 200 credit points and ordered a set meal at a nearby star-rated restaurant called "Cranky Sweetheart".

While waiting for the meal, Wang Xi opened an online shopping app called "Feimao" on his mobile phone.

Just search for "magic stone".

Soon, a shining column appeared at the top——

"Today's Magic Stone Price: 105 Credits/gram."

So expensive!

Wang Xi sighed secretly.

Although this is not as valuable as the gold in the previous life, it is definitely a valuable resource.

Within the Shanhai Federation, magic stones are allowed to circulate on the market, but are subject to official control.

The "Hermes Business Alliance" behind this online shopping platform, like "Cupid Housekeeping", is on the supervision list of the Overlooking Bureau.

It is semi-official in nature.

Wang Xi recalled the experience of drawing cards before, with a thoughtful look on his face.

"The independent card pool Caius built in my mind requires 100 energy points to draw from. Considering the weight of those magic stones... it should be roughly 1 gram equals 1 energy point."

He looked at his phone, gritted his teeth, paid a large amount of credit points, and placed an order for 170 grams of magic stone.

Wang Xi looked at the balance of "1,950" and sighed. He was out of money again.

He casually browsed through the products on the platform and deliberately chose several card stores under the consortium. He browsed the various artificial universal cards and his mouth was watering.

The attendant category includes "Housekeeping Doll" and "Guardian Robot Dog"; the prop category includes "Muscle Strengthening Injection" and "Steam Backpack"; the equipment category includes "Solomon Civilian Laser Pistol Type I" and "Mark Alloy Armor Set"...

Among the dazzling array of cards.

Wang Xi's attention was drawn to a card——

"Defense Force Basic Bodybuilding Method (Skill Card)"

And its price is as high as 100 million!
Wang Xi was secretly shocked.

At the same time, I feel a little confused.

Kung Fu card?
Out of curiosity, he clicked on the product information of the card and soon understood.

In the introduction, there is a key description:
"...Possessing at least one 'Kung Fu Card' is one of the necessary conditions for the Professional Hero Assessment."

No wonder it’s so expensive!

This card is basically equivalent to a stepping stone to the door of professional hero.

Wang Xi speculated that the reason why this card could circulate in the market was probably because the authorities did it intentionally.

There may be a certain threshold, but it also gives the general public an opportunity to advance. From a certain perspective, it can also be regarded as an invisible screening.

"Strength is crucial if I want to live comfortably in this dangerous world."

Wang Xi took a deep breath.

"If the New World is compared to a pyramid, then the path of the professional hero is the fastest and most direct shortcut to the top."

More than 100 million?
many!
But it’s not that much.

Dying once is enough.

Wang Xi shook his head and put aside the idea of ​​dying in the line of duty.

"But working part-time is impossible. It will take forever to save up 100 million... I can always find a way from the other world!"

he thought.

Although I am currently completely in the dark about the other world, I always have a hunch in my heart that there are countless precious treasures hidden there.

Especially the extraordinary power!
The reason why I was able to escape death today is due to the two wild cards I captured from "Wendy"!
"It will get better the day after tomorrow. I'll go over and take a look during the holiday..."

Wang Xi made up his mind.

At this time.

The doorbell rang.

“The takeaway has arrived!”

His eyes flashed green and he ran over to open the door.

When the door opened, a short girl wearing a yellow delivery uniform and a motorcycle helmet stood outside.

The girl wore no makeup, and her features were surprisingly delicate, with a bit of baby fat on her face, making her look younger. However, her figure was clearly inconsistent with her appearance.

She was holding a bag in her hand.

"Deliveryman No. 0173, Ning Meng, has delivered your meal! Mr. Wang, your takeaway has arrived! Enjoy your meal!"

The girl had a stern face and spoke in a serious tone in her slightly childish voice.

As he spoke, he bent over and handed the takeout bag over with both hands.

It was as if an important document was being handed over.

Wang Xi was stunned.

'Food grade...'

His old habit struck again, and his eyes swept over the girl inconspicuously.

"You're so dedicated," Wang Xi said with a smile as he took the takeout bag. "Thank you for your hard work, Miss Ning Meng."

Unexpectedly, at this time.

The delivery girl took off her helmet, revealing her shoulder-length hair. She then pulled out a black hat from somewhere, put it on her head, smiled, and handed over a small wooden box.

"Courier No. 0101, 'Ning Meng', has delivered an important package to you. Mr. Wang, please sign for it..."

She deliberately lowered her voice, becoming more mature and elegant.

Wang Xi was silent for a few seconds.

He took the wooden box, pen and paper and signed the delivery note.

"On behalf of Flying Hat Logistics, I wish you a good night."

Ning Meng pinched the brim of her hat and bowed her head.

Then he turned around and left silently.
