10: The incomplete Dharma image and the shock of the sisters

"Since you are now a Squad Leader, your treatment is naturally different."

Butler Fu led the way, explaining every detail: "A Squad Leader's monthly salary is 25,000, and besides that, he can also receive three bottles of low-grade Blood Qi medicine each month."

"Of course, as new recruits, everyone gets one opportunity to choose a martial art and a weapon."

With that, the two arrived in front of a heavily guarded building.

Pushing open the heavy armored door.

Rows of bookshelves stood neatly, filled with various cultivation techniques and martial arts.

Butler Fu led Lu Ming to the One-Star Martial Arts section and patiently explained:

"The Law Enforcement Team has strict discipline. To learn cultivation techniques and martial arts, one must spend corresponding contribution points to exchange for them."

"Taking your position as Squad Leader, with 20 contribution points a month, it would take at least five months to exchange for a One-Star martial art."

"So, on weekdays, if an incident occurs, everyone responds actively, because with contribution points, one can exchange for many good things."

Lu Ming nodded silently, leaned closer, and was immediately dazzled.

The martial arts on the bookshelves were diverse, with swords, spears, and halberds all available. The cultivation secret manuals were even more numerous and overwhelming.

"Swallow Shadow Nine Changes," "Phantom Step," "Tiger賁 Fist"... these martial art names sounded impressive, but their actual power was only average.

Lu Ming flipped through them, always feeling that something was missing.

He looked up at the aged Butler Fu, composed himself, and asked, "Butler Fu, you are experienced and knowledgeable. Could you recommend one for me?"

A hint of surprise appeared on Butler Fu's old face. He looked deeply at Lu Ming, and a touch of anticipation flickered in his cloudy eyes.

He chuckled, "Heh heh, I didn't realize you were such a sly one..."

Butler Fu turned and took out a jade pendant from a hidden compartment, handing it to Lu Ming.

"I remember your spiritual power reached Two-Star, right? I have a fragmented Dharma Idol here. You might try observing it."

"But let me be clear upfront, unlike directly learning cultivation techniques and martial arts, whether one can comprehend something from observing a Dharma Idol depends entirely on personal talent and luck. How about it? Want to give it a try?"

Lu Ming subconsciously took the jade pendant, and a thunderous roar seemed to erupt in his ears.

He felt as if he was in a vast thunderous land, incredibly tiny.

Deep within the thunder marsh, a colossal entity was faintly discernible.

With a roar that echoed through the sky, the scene abruptly shattered.

After regaining his senses, Lu Ming took a deep breath.

It was indeed a good item; just the brief glimpse he had seen was enough to make him struggle for breath.

He looked up into Butler Fu's calm eyes and thanked him solemnly, "Thank you, Butler Fu."

"Heh heh, you're quite decisive, young man. Let's go, follow me to the armory."

Butler Fu waved his hand indifferently, but the smile on his face grew more satisfied.

It must be said that the Law Enforcement Team, backed by the government, was indeed wealthy and powerful. The armory was packed with One-Star weapons personally crafted by artifact refiners.

Lu Ming chose a handy black straight saber, about three feet two inches long and two fingers wide.

The blade gleamed with a cold light, and the black hilt was engraved with special inscriptions that could slightly enhance the wielder's strength.

After receiving his new recruit's welcome package, Lu Ming hastily bid farewell to Butler Fu.

He had been away from home for some time; if he didn't return soon, his two lovely wives at home would start to worry... Just as Lu Ming suspected, Xu Youyou and Xu Lulu, the Twin Sisters, were huddled in the living room, their charming peach blossom eyes filled with worry.

At noon, Lu Ming said he was going to buy some daily necessities, but now the sun was about to set, and he still hadn't returned.

And this Outer City had indeed become increasingly chaotic recently. Not long ago, not far from them, two Transcendent beings had a fierce fight.

Wails kept coming, and the scene was extremely tragic.

Fortunately, the Law Enforcement Team arrived in time and suppressed the two, otherwise, ordinary people like them might have been affected.

Lulu, unable to sit still, opened a crack in the window again, carefully watching the street outside, but still did not see Lu Ming.

Her small face immediately fell, and her anxiety was evident between her brows: "Sister, why don't... we go out and look for him?"

Xu Youyou's heart was also in turmoil. Hearing her sister's suggestion, her face seemed to show some hesitation.

"Let's wait another half an hour. If he still doesn't show up..."

Before she finished speaking, there was a sound from the iron door of the rental house.

Lu Ming's dust-covered figure appeared at the doorway.

"Husband!"

The Twin Sisters rushed over almost simultaneously.

Xu Youyou and Lulu, like two soft clouds, crashed into Lu Ming's arms.

Two identical, delicate small faces rested on his chest. Lulu's voice was tearful:

"If you had been half a step later, Sister and I were going to go out and look for you!"

When she looked up, her peach blossom eyes still held unshed tears, but as her eyelashes fluttered, she noticed Lu Ming wearing a brand new black uniform.

Huh? Why was her husband's uniform the same as those awe-inspiring Law Enforcers she had seen earlier?

The only difference was that his badge on his chest was silver, while theirs were bronze.

Lulu instantly forgot her grievances. "Husband, you're..."

Lu Ming smiled and kissed the corners of the Twin Sisters' mouths: "Heh heh, as you can see, when I went to the East Market to buy daily necessities, I happened to encounter the Law Enforcement Team recruiting, so I was delayed for a while."

"Law Enforcement Team?"

Xu Youyou suddenly looked up, Lu Ming's chiseled face reflected in her peach blossom eyes, and her heart skipped a beat: "Husband, you passed the selection?"

"Yes, good luck."

Lu Ming smiled and pulled the Twin Sisters into his arms, his fingertips brushing Xu Youyou's earlobe, which was red from excitement, "The Law Enforcement Team even directly gave me the position of Squad Leader."

He deliberately paused, looking at the Twin Sisters' wide eyes, then slowly added, "A monthly salary of twenty-five thousand!"

"Twenty-five thousand?!" Lulu was so shocked she almost jumped up, instinctively covering her mouth, her eyes shining like fallen stars.

You know, when their father was still alive, going to the Mist Zone four or five times a month didn't even bring in that much income!

Was this... her husband still the ordinary mediocrity others spoke of?

Lu Ming lowered his head and pinched Lulu's smooth little face, laughing, "That's right. From now on, not only will we not have to worry about rent, but I can also save some pocket money to buy snacks for you, my little glutton."

"I'm not a little glutton~"

Lulu pouted in protest, but still very obediently stood on tiptoe and kissed Lu Ming's lips.

"Thank you, Husband."

Xu Youyou looked at the neat epaulets on Lu Ming's uniform, then at her sister's happy expression, and her eyes suddenly felt a little warm.

Lu Ming lowered his head and kissed away the moisture from her eyes, then pinched Lulu's pouting cheek: "Wait a moment, I've prepared a surprise for you two."

Looking at the two faces before him, tear-streaked but smiling like flowers, he suddenly felt a little hungry...
