603: It turns out that the most profitable one is not the exorcist

Chapter 603: It Turns Out The Most Profitable Is Not The Demon Hunter

“Alright, let’s go back and hand over the mission, then we’ll head back,” Thrace said with a smile to Ye Zian. “Oh right, the mission reward will be split like this: generally, the office takes 20%, logistics, which is Gu Yu, takes 30%, intelligence takes 10%, and the rest is split among those who went on the mission. However, since I’m leading you, I’ll take 10% and you’ll take 30%.

How about it, isn’t this distribution ratio very fair?”

“It’s very fair indeed!” Ye Zian nodded and said.

The office only taking 20%... was a bit beyond his expectation.

Gu Yu from logistics taking 30% was also understandable. After all, even though Gu Yu doesn’t fight, she has a lot of things to do.

She develops weapons for everyone, manufactures weapons, maintains and repairs weapons, including vehicle maintenance and repairs—she does it all… And it seems like everyone doesn’t have a so-called “salary.”

That is to say, everyone is actually in a cooperative relationship; everyone earns from the split. If there’s a mission, they earn.

The office needs a share, likely for some public expenses, and also to ensure there’s money in the public account.

He could also understand Lily, as an intelligence officer, taking 10%.

He even initially thought he might not even deserve this share, and even getting 10% would be fine.

But he gets 30%?

“Um, Boss, how much money will my 30% be?” Ye Zian asked Thrace curiously.

“The reward for this mission is one million. Your 30% is three hundred thousand, then,” Thrace said with a shrug.

“Holy crap!” Ye Zian’s eyes widened instantly upon hearing this.

Good heavens, three hundred thousand?! He just got three hundred thousand just like that?!

Oh, he wondered if he needed to pay taxes, and how much would be left after taxes?

“Oh right, this money is tax-free,” Thrace said with a shrug. “You can think of it as special income, specially approved by the state. And all such missions are registered and go through proper procedures.

So don’t worry about anyone coming to bother you. Feel free to use the money.”

“Understood!” Ye Zian’s eyes lit up immediately upon hearing Thrace’s words.

His wallet just got fatter all of a sudden!

Thrace quickly finished the handover with the other party. Mission handovers were relatively simple and direct.

“Let’s go!” Thrace shouted to Ye Zian.

Ye Zian then quickly got into the car.

Return trip!

This mission was considered complete.

On the road.

“How was it? Your first mission, was it simple?” Thrace asked Ye Zian.

“Mm! It really wasn’t difficult,” Ye Zian nodded and said.

Today was his first mission, and although Thrace was there to oversee, his overall feeling was that it wasn't very difficult. Of course, Thrace also said that this mission was a relatively simple eradication task.

It was indeed not difficult, just needed to fight and it would be over.

The prerequisite was sufficient strength.

But they are Demon Hunters after all! Isn't that what they do!

Back at the office, the money had also arrived.

“Here, your money has been transferred,” Thrace said to Ye Zian casually as he got out of the car.

“Huh?!” Ye Zian was stunned for a moment. The next second, sure enough, a text message came to his phone—the money had arrived!

Three hundred thousand!

“Whew~” Ye Zian immediately felt a wave of relief.

Awesome!!!

“Oh right, I know you’re feeling great right now, but don’t get too comfortable yet. You have to buy your own bullets,” Thrace suddenly showed an “evil” smile.

“???” Ye Zian suddenly froze, looking at Thrace with a head full of question marks.

“Yes, that’s right, Gu Yu and we are both partners and collaborators,” Thrace said with a shrug. “It’s already very good that she makes weapons for you for free. Subsequent ammunition, including modifications, upgrades, and weapon replacements, all cost money.

But since we’re companions, she only charges a labor fee.”

“…” Ye Zian immediately stopped grinning.

It wasn’t that he was dissatisfied with this; after all, this was a very normal thing. It would be abnormal if everything was done for him for free.

The main reason he wasn’t grinning was that the things Thrace mentioned… must be very expensive!

Ye Zian didn’t even need to look at a price list to know how expensive the special bullets for his weapons would be!

Magic power, oh magic power! He needed magic power!

That way, he wouldn’t need bullets! He could use magic power to recharge!

But those magic crystals… they’d need to be replaced after a while, wouldn’t they? What if they got damaged? And with special bullets plus magic power, the explosive power would be even stronger and fiercer!

So, would you buy them or not?

These all cost money!

Well, it seems he still had to continue working like a dog… work hard!

Thrace looked at Ye Zian’s expression and burst out laughing.

“Keep up the good work! Magic power, if you’re not a half-demon… it’s really a bit uncertain,” Thrace said to Ye Zian. “Other human Demon Hunters either use these specialized weapons like you, or if they have magic power, they are either naturally gifted or come from a long family lineage.

I’m also a demon, so I can’t do anything about this; you’ll have to rely on yourself.”

Clearly, Thrace knew what Ye Zian was thinking just by looking at him.

Or rather, his previous words had precisely this purpose.

“Mm…” Ye Zian was familiar with his boss’s playful demeanor.

He shrugged and walked from the underground parking lot to the underground training ground.

The two were connected.

“Welcome back!” Gu Yu poked her head out from behind the workbench, smiling and waving to everyone.

“Sister Gu Yu!” Ye Zian waved back in greeting, then walked over. “Um, Sister Gu Yu, could you show me the price list?”

“Price list? Oh! You’re back from your mission today… and you got your share of the money, right?” Gu Yu was stunned for a moment, but immediately realized something, then showed a meaningful smile and handed a tablet to Ye Zian.

“Here, take a look yourself. It’s all categorized,” Gu Yu said to Ye Zian, with a software open on the tablet.

Ye Zian took it, familiarizing himself with the software while checking the bullets he needed.

There were many, many types of special bullets, of various categories, with varying prices. But the bullet’s function, caliber, and what kind of demon it was suitable for were all clearly marked.

It could be said that they were clearly priced.

“But…” Ye Zian looked at the prices on the tablet. All the original prices had a strikethrough, and next to them was another price, which looked… like an 80% discount?

“Ah! You mean the discount, right? Because I’m a Super VIP~ But it has to be calculated at the original price! The discount is the middleman’s money I earn!” Gu Yu chuckled from the side. “But then again! Since it’s you, little brother Zian, I’ll take a small loss and give it to you at my discounted price. However, I can’t waive the labor fees for other things like modifications or maintenance!”

It turned out the most profitable was not the Demon Hunter. This thought involuntarily popped into Ye Zian’s mind as he looked at the charmingly smiling Gu Yu.
