30: Chapter 30 Even Golden Core cultivators need to eat and make money.
Everyone followed Section Chief Qin Xiaoxiao to the Personnel Department hall, sat down, and began the exam.
The exam questions looked simple.
For example, one question was: "Suppose you are outside the Safe Zone, and as a Cultivator, you see a Mortal in danger. Are you willing to help?"
There were four options:
A. Help without hesitation!
B. Help depending on the situation!
C. A Cultivator's life is more noble than a Mortal's; it depends on my mood.
D. Let go of the savior complex and respect others' fate.
Questions like these really seemed to be testing for antisocial personality disorder, but was it really necessary to test people with questions that anyone who finished elementary school would know how to answer?
Su Fan instinctively wanted to choose A, but after thinking about it carefully...
That's not right!
Helping without hesitation is clearly not rational. Who knows what kind of danger the Mortal is in and whether I can handle it?
Choose B?
It seems like the correct answer.
However, this is the Justice Bureau's exam. What is the Justice Bureau's slogan?
There are big characters posted on the wall outside the door.
"Dare to draw your sword, fear no sacrifice, capable of fighting, and must win!"
The spirit of the Justice Bureau is to dare to draw your sword, fear no sacrifice, and spare no effort to achieve victory.
Could this question be testing the "spirit of unhesitating and fearless sacrifice"? If so, then I must choose A.
Therefore, this kind of question has no standard answer; it all depends on the examiner's intent.
As for what the examiner's intent actually was, Su Fan couldn't guess.
"Whatever, choose B!"
After finishing the test and handing it in, Qin Xiaoxiao glanced at everyone's papers, not even looking closely, and handed them to a clerk in the Personnel Department to be put into files and sealed.
Qin Xiaoxiao rested her hands on the table in front, her gaze seemingly fixed on Su Fan, or perhaps looking at everyone, and said: "Everyone, your onboarding is considered complete today. Come here at nine tomorrow morning. Starting tomorrow, there will be a one-week training session. After one week, uniforms and ID numbers will be officially issued."
"Now, you may return. Remember to come tomorrow."
Upon hearing her words, everyone stood up and walked out of the Personnel Department hall.
"Su Fan... wait a moment!"
Hearing Qin Xiaoxiao's voice, Su Fan stopped and then walked up to Qin Xiaoxiao.
Only then did he realize that this female section chief was really tall!
She must be about 1.8 meters tall, right?
"Section Chief Qin, are you looking for me?"
Qin Xiaoxiao held a file in her hand, looked at Su Fan, and said: "The Superpower Affairs Administration recorded that your cultivation level almost reached Qi Refining Stage 2. Tell me the truth, are you hiding your cultivation?"
The Superpower Affairs Administration is the abbreviation for the Bureau of Extraordinary Affairs.
"No."
Su Fan thought for a moment and replied: "However, there are faint signs of a Breakthrough to Qi Refining Stage 2, and it seems my strength has doubled..."
"Hmm, I will notify the Personnel Department to shorten your internship period to one month, and I will also add a little to your salary... Nothing else, you may go!"
Su Fan was slightly stunned, thinking, does one still need an internship after joining the Justice Bureau?
They should mention it during training.
Forget it for now.
After leaving the Justice Bureau, Su Fan went to the furniture market to buy a bed, but found that the beds here were very expensive, often costing thousands, while he only had a little over one hundred in his balance...
It seems he can't afford a bed.
Tonight, he has to sleep on the floor.
Returning home, Su Fan sat in his wheelchair and thought about two things.
The first thing is that he needs to make money.
The government's living subsidy is issued on the 1st of every month. The 800 yuan is only enough for food, and he still has to pay for water, electricity, and gas himself.
Now he is almost out of money and needs to find a way to make money.
Speaking of which, it's really strange.
On the Tianxuan Continent, after reaching the state of fasting, one doesn't need to eat like a Mortal at all; absorbing Spiritual Qi can satisfy the body's needs.
But here on Earth, even though he is at the Golden Core Realm, he still gets hungry and needs to eat three meals a day.
"Is my Golden Core Realm fake?"
Su Fan sank his Divine Sense into his Dantian and was shocked to see a golden inner core appearing in his Dantian, extremely dazzling, like a golden pearl...
"I really am in the Golden Core Realm!"
It seems that some things on Earth still need further exploration.
The second thing is that he constantly misses her — his wife, Ji Yao, back there.
Especially when he is alone and quiet, her image always appears in his mind for no reason.
Of course, he also thinks about the excitement of the wedding day, the rhythm of life, that kind of joy.
"...Where is the Tianxuan Continent?"
Su Fan checked the data: Earth, the Earth-Moon system, the Solar System, the Milky Way, the Universe... There were no such places as the Tianxuan Continent and the Taihuang Ancient Land. These two places only exist in web novels written by internet authors.
"The simulator once said that the Universe is very mysterious, and beyond the Universe is even more mysterious. Could it be... these places are outside the Universe??"
The sunlight on the Tianxuan Continent cannot even be called sunlight; it's pale, definitely different from sunlight. It seems he heard Mortals there call it 'Yao'...
"Since even the sun is different, it must not be in the Solar System. Humanity doesn't even have the ability to leave the Earth-Moon system yet. If this is really the case, it's almost impossible to find her."
Su Fan sighed at this thought, temporarily putting aside his longing for her, and could only think of a way to make money first.
A powerful expert in the Golden Core Realm, yet he has no money.
It really is true that a penny can stump a hero!
What method should he use to make money?
Killing people to seize treasures? Robbery?
No, no, that's illegal.
He is already a 'Justice Hero', how could he do such a thing?
Absolutely impossible!
Be a bodyguard for a rich person?
No time, he has already joined the Justice Bureau and has to go to work!
Work part-time as a security guard at a nightclub at night, but... how much money is that!
Could it be... to be a porter? Carrying a large refrigerator to the seventh floor can earn 500 yuan. For ordinary people, it's very hard work, but for a Golden Core Realm expert, it can be done easily in two seconds, he could even fly...
Carrying eight or ten a day, that's not bad money...
Su Fan thought happily, then suddenly slapped himself: "I am in the Golden Core Realm, and I'm going to do manual labor to make money? Novels aren't even written like that. If they were really written like this, wouldn't readers laugh their teeth off!"
"Better to ask Section Chief Qin tomorrow if I can get a salary advance..."
The next day, at nine in the morning.
Su Fan arrived at the Personnel Department on time for training, but he didn't see Qin Xiaoxiao. He was too embarrassed to ask the Personnel Department staff if he could get a salary advance, so he had to suppress the matter and wait until he saw Qin Xiaoxiao to talk about it.
The training content for the first day was about the Justice Bureau.
A female section chief from the Training Department stood on the podium and used a remote control to play the big screen.
"What is the Justice Bureau? When was the Justice Bureau established?"
"The Justice Bureau was founded three years ago, on August 10, 2035, which was also the first year of the Spiritual Qi recovery and the first year of the Earth's cataclysm. It was established by our national-level leader, Mr. Hua Qiangsheng. Everyone must remember this date, as it might be on a future exam."
"What are the functions of the Justice Bureau?"
"Defending peace, upholding justice in the human world, and what else? Yes, combating extraordinary criminal forces, eliminating Mutant Beast, and so on and so forth."
"What is the power Rank of the Justice Bureau?"
"That's right, it is the highest Rank. It is superior to all military and police forces and is a violent institution that overrides all other violent institutions..."
