31: Chapter 31 Who can't beat a chicken?

The week-long training curriculum, in addition to relevant introductions to the Justice Bureau, also encompassed detailed explanations of various Mutant Beasts, as well as courses on new species such as Eastern zombies and mecha Mutant Beasts.

After listening to these classes, Su Fan could be considered to have refreshed his understanding of the current Earth.

On the last day of training, they finally discussed salary and benefits.

It turned out that for a Cultivator at Qi Refining Layer 1, upon first entering the Justice Bureau, the initial benefits were a three-month internship with a base salary of 3,500, plus rewards for completing missions and death benefits.

For those at Qi Refining Stage 2 or above, there was no need for an internship; they were directly given official staff status with a salary of 8,000, along with mission rewards and death benefits.

"No internship for Qi Refining Stage 2?"

"No wonder Qin Xiaoxiao told me she would compress my internship period to one month. It turns out she thought I should have been able to reach Qi Refining Stage 2, and originally wouldn't have needed an internship at all..."

After the training ended, Su Fan finally met Section Chief Qin, whom he hadn't seen for several days.

Qin Xiaoxiao was still wearing a form-fitting azure uniform, which accentuated her upright posture and graceful, alluring curves.

A sense of coldness emanated from her brows and eyes; no matter where she stood, she exuded a powerful aura, giving people the feeling of a natural-born female leader.

Today, she was wearing a dark blue skirt that matched the uniform, paired with black military boots, revealing a pair of beautiful, fair calves.

From the badges on her chest and shoulders, it was not hard to see that she was a powerful female warrior who had participated in many extraordinary battles and had received many honors.

Seeing Su Fan walk over, Qin Xiaoxiao crossed her arms over her chest and looked at him languidly: "What is it?"

Su Fan felt a bit embarrassed, scratched the back of his head, and said shyly:

"...Can I borrow some money from you?"

Damn it!

A slip of the tongue!

He had originally intended to ask, "Can I get an advance on my salary?"

His face flushed red instantly, and he hurriedly tried to correct himself...

Who knew, Qin Xiaoxiao looked at him with a half-smile and readily said: "How much do you want to borrow?"

"One..."

Su Fan held up one finger, just about to say one thousand yuan.

To his surprise, Qin Xiaoxiao took out her phone directly and said: "Take out your phone and give me your payment code."

Su Fan took out his phone, opened the QR code, and said: "What I meant was..."

Before he could finish speaking.

Beep!

Ten thousand yuan received!

"Ten thousand yuan?"

Su Fan opened his mouth wide. Did Qin Xiaoxiao just scan and send him ten thousand yuan directly?

"No need to thank me; it will be deducted from your salary and bonuses!"

Seeing Su Fan hesitate to speak, Qin Xiaoxiao finished with that same half-smile before leaving Su Fan's sight...

Su Fan, stunned in place, took a long time to come back to his senses.

That's not right!

I was asking for a salary advance, how did it turn into borrowing money?

Well, this is great; now I owe her a favor!

...

Su Fan walked out of the Section Chief's office with his head lowered, not expecting to almost bump into Qin Xiaoxiao, who had suddenly turned back.

Qin Xiaoxiao hurriedly used her Spiritual Qi to dodge, breathed a heavy sigh, and then looked at Su Fan and said: "By the way, I forgot to tell you: as a public servant, you are not allowed to engage in pornography, gambling, or drugs. If I catch you, you will be fired immediately!"

"Oh, Section Chief, I know. I'm just going to eat and buy a bed..."

It turned out the female leader was afraid he had borrowed the money for those things, so Su Fan explained the purpose of the money honestly.

"Buy a bed?"

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at Su Fan with a strange expression.

"My bed at home was smashed by me with one palm. I've been sleeping on the floor for a week. The weather seems to be getting cold, and I want to sleep in a bed; I don't want to sleep on the floor anymore..."

"..."

Qin Xiaoxiao wanted to say something, but stopped herself, eventually just cautioning: "Remember, absolutely do not engage in pornography, gambling, or drugs."

"Yes, thank you Section Chief, I'm leaving."

...

After Su Fan left the Justice Bureau, he went to the furniture market and bought a bed for 1,200 yuan.

Then, he had the merchant deliver it to his home.

In fact, with his Golden Core Stage cultivation, he could have easily carried it back, just like carrying a matchbox.

After all, carrying a bed down the street wasn't a big deal; when encountering traffic jams, there were plenty of Cultivators who carried their cars and walked!

But since he had paid the money, well, those who know, know.

...

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

Since receiving his uniform and serial number, Su Fan had adapted to the daily training routine at the Justice Bureau. However, the training items weren't as simple as running or doing push-ups; they were shooting and combat. Shooting naturally involved practicing with automatic rifles and submachine guns, while combat involved live sparring or fighting with semi-Spirit Beasts tamed by the Justice Bureau.

These semi-Spirit Beasts were raised through special methods; they had absorbed Spiritual Qi but had not transformed into Spirit Beasts, nor had they become Mutant Beasts, instead becoming semi-Spirit Beasts.

Spirit Beasts were now rare on Earth, and it was only a few months ago that everyone learned from the news that such things as Spirit Beasts actually existed.

Everyone had thought there were only Mutant Beasts.

In fact, all Cultivators knew there were also mecha Mutant Beasts.

However, these were irrelevant to Mortals; after all, they still had to continue going to school or work and wouldn't come into contact with these, unless one day they suddenly experienced an Awakening of extraordinary power...

...

...

"Hehehe! Su Fan! You kid wouldn't be unable to beat a chicken, would you!"

"Hit it quickly! Hit it quickly! What are you dodging for!"

"Even dodging a Colorful Chicken? Just beat it up and be done with it!"

"Geez, coward. If you're this timid, how are you going to leave the Safe Zone in the future!"

At the training base, a group of Qi Refining Layer 1 Cultivators were watching Su Fan spar with a Colorful Chicken.

This was a large rooster with colorful feathers, fully as big as an adult kangaroo. Because its feathers were colorful, its scientific name was the Colorful Chicken.

This was no ordinary rooster, but a semi-Spirit Beast with a combat power reaching Qi Refining Layer 1.

Of course, with Su Fan's true cultivation, he could drown it with a spit, or roast it alive by casually casting a small Fire Spirit Root Spell.

But this was to avoid exposing his cultivation, so he intentionally played around with it for a while longer.

Who would have thought that his comrades waiting on the sidelines would be so impatient to tease him.

"Oh my, Su Fan, you're useless; you actually can't beat a chicken!"

"You... get off the field! Let me come; I guarantee I'll knock this chicken out in a few minutes!"

"..." Several female comrades felt that the more they heard this, the more wrong it sounded.

Meanwhile, Qin Xiaoxiao, who appeared to be watching absent-mindedly, was actually paying close attention to Su Fan's movements.

She discovered that Su Fan wasn't unable to beat this chicken at all; he was clearly toying with it.

His footwork looked chaotic, but it was actually very methodical. Every step anticipated the chicken's movement, making it impossible for the chicken to get close to him...

After watching for a while, Qin Xiaoxiao finally couldn't help but speak up: "Stop playing around; others still need to practice!"

Hearing Qin Xiaoxiao speak, Su Fan tripped the Colorful Chicken with one kick. The chicken let out a cry of pain, seemingly in great agony.

"Cluck-cluck, cluck-cluck, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Regarding the chicken suddenly calling out "it hurts," those present felt no surprise at all.

Because that was how semi-Spirit Beasts were; they only had the intelligence of a two or three-year-old child and could only say a few simple words...

Seeing Su Fan handle this chicken so easily, the people who had just been teasing him looked at him with much more serious expressions...

Su Fan brushed the dust off his hands and jumped back onto the viewing platform.

"Who can't even beat a chicken!"
