I want to find you a job, but you want to steal my house?

Wang Hong pondered for a moment: "If you're ready, tomorrow works!"

Li Xunle immediately nodded: "Alright, tomorrow it is!"

After hearing the system's 'ding', Li Xunle found several skill books in his mission inventory.

He didn't hesitate, checking them one by one, all of them five-star skills...

【Obedient Poison: Inflicts this poison on (Level * 1) targets for 1 hour. If the target disobeys your commands, they will experience intense pain throughout their body and a certain amount of health will be deducted. Re-applying the poison will remove it. Cooldown is 10 seconds.】

【Disfigurement Poison: Inflicts this poison on (Level * 1) targets for 1 hour. Once affected, the target's appearance will be grotesquely disfigured, and a certain amount of health will be deducted. Re-applying the poison will remove it. Cooldown is 10 seconds.】

【Smiling Half-Step Stagger Poison: Inflicts this poison on (Level * 1) targets for 1 hour. The target can only smile and cannot take a step, otherwise, intense pain will strike, causing them to fall into a frenzy, and a certain amount of health will be deducted. Re-applying the poison will remove it. Cooldown is 10 seconds.】

【Murder and Heartbreak Poison: Inflicts this poison on (Level * 1) targets for 1 hour. Once the target harbors murderous intent, immense pain will arise in their heart, deducting a certain amount of health. Re-applying the poison will remove it. Cooldown is 10 seconds.】

These don't seem like proper poisons... just by their names, they're not proper.

However, Li Xunle immediately learned all of them!

A slight smile played on his lips. This was going to be fun!

At this moment,

Wang Hong asked Li Xunle:

"By the way, how many 'Virtue' attribute points do you have now?"

Li Xunle immediately checked and found he had 666 'Virtue' attribute points.

He had gained 466 'Virtue' attribute points from clearing monsters in the Hundred-Layer Demon Tower during his wilderness trials.

After winning the final victory in the Seven Dragon Ball Tower instance, he gained another 300 points.

Logically, it should be 766 points, so why was it 666 points?

Could it be that killing five people deducted 100 points?

Li Xunle frowned in confusion and blurted out:

"666!"

"What 666? I asked you how many 'Virtue' attribute points you have?"

"666 points!"

"Huh?"

Wang Hong was stunned; he had just thought the other person was saying some catchphrase... "666 points? That high? Level 45?"

Wang Hong was very surprised.

Li Xunle's eyes flickered slightly, his tone a bit puzzled:

"Is 666 points very high?"

"300 points qualify you to be a Law Enforcer, 400 points a Law Enforcement Team Leader, 500 points a Deputy Bureau Chief, 600 points a Bureau Chief..."

Li Xunle stared at Wang Hong with interest:

"What? Are you going to give me the position of Law Enforcement Bureau Chief?"

"My goodness!"

Wang Hong almost stumbled... He couldn't help but mutter inwardly:

Alright, alright!

I'm trying to find a position for you, but you're trying to steal my home?

This is too shameless... I've never met such a brazen person in my life.

"It's not that I'm stingy, but for the position of Bureau Chief, you're too young to handle it."

Wang Hong smiled slightly, very candidly.

"Don't worry, I'm not interested in your Bureau Chief position, it's just a false reputation."

Li Xunle rubbed his handsome face, nonchalantly.

He had no interest in being an official; there were too many twists and turns.

It was completely meaningless.

He was just joking.

"How about I get you a Law Enforcement Team Leader position to play with? It would also make things more convenient."

Wang Hong asked tentatively.

"Law Enforcement Team Leader?"

"As a Law Enforcement Team Leader, you only need to listen to me; you can ignore everyone else's commands."

"No, we are only partners; I don't want to be commanded by anyone."

"I won't make you do anything, you and I both know we have a partnership, but having a position makes some things convenient."

"Alright then, go ahead and get me one."

Li Xunle no longer refused upon hearing this.

He felt no burden at all.

He believed that even if he were given the Bureau Chief position, he could handle it... "Give me your ID; I'll have my subordinates handle it."

Wang Hong reached out to Li Xunle for his ID.

Li Xunle slowly handed his ID card to Wang Hong, a bit skeptical:

"Is the appointment of a Law Enforcement Team Leader so casual? Can it be done with just an ID card?"

"Everything in this world has already been simplified. In times of crisis, even a verbal appointment is fine."

Wang Hong said unhurriedly.

"Then aren't you afraid of people making fake IDs?" Li Xunle suddenly thought.

"Fake IDs? They'll be executed on the spot if caught!"

"..."

Li Xunle shook his crossed leg, asking Wang Hong thoughtfully:

"Tomorrow, how many people are going to the Land of Divine Punishment? What's the lineup?"

Wang Hong rubbed his stomach, then looked at his watch:

"It's eleven at night, I'm a bit hungry. I want to go eat some barbecue, join me? We can talk while we eat?"

"Eat barbecue? That sounds good."

Li Xunle's appetite increased at the thought of barbecue, even though he had eaten roast chicken a few hours ago...

As the two were about to leave the building, Wang Hong stopped:

"Wait, I'll call Tang Long to come along."

Soon after,

the three arrived at a roadside barbecue stall.

As soon as they sat down, Wang Hong spoke softly:

"Tang Long, you said last time you were going to treat me to barbecue; this is your chance..."

"..."

Tang Long was startled, then nodded repeatedly:

"Of course, thanks to you, Boss, for helping my brother with that mental skill book. This meal is definitely on me."

He smiled, looking at Wang Hong:

"Boss, what would you like to eat?"

"Hmm~ You decide, I'm not picky."

Tang Long understood immediately from Wang Hong's calm expression:

"Boss, 10 skewers of lamb, 10 skewers of beef, 10 skewers of pork, 10 portions of grilled chives, 3 portions of grilled eggplant, 10 portions of grilled pork kidney, 10 portions of grilled lamb kidney, 10 portions of grilled lamb chops..."

Li Xunle couldn't help but interject when he heard this:

"I don't need the pork kidney and lamb kidney..."

Tang Long said, "Oh."

"I didn't order pork kidney and lamb kidney for you. If you want some, I can order it."

"..."

This completely stumped Li Xunle.

What kind of people were these two?

Two people eating 10 portions of lamb kidney and 10 portions of pork kidney?

Were they at odds with kidneys or something?

Were they that weak?

Their demand for kidneys was even greater than that of those people in northern Myanmar...

He gently shook his head:

"It's fine, I don't need it. I was overthinking."

Tang Long smiled, looking at Wang Hong:

"Boss, want a drink?"

"A little bit is fine; the pressure has been too much lately! The matter of the luck crystal almost running out has me worried sick."

Wang Hong looked utterly miserable.

As the Bureau Chief of the Ninth District Law Enforcement Bureau in Wolong City, he bore the most crucial security issues of the Ninth District.

The luck crystal was about to run out, and he didn't have many incredibly strong experts at hand.

Not just him, all regional Law Enforcement Bureaus faced this problem.

Every so often, they had to organize the search for luck crystal fragments.

Tang Long, beside him, was pondering a question:

Drink a little?

That means two cases!

After Tang Long ordered two cases of beer from the boss, he comforted Wang Hong:

"Boss, there's nothing we can do about this. So many cities and districts in Xia Country all face this pressure."

His tone was also somewhat helpless:

"Until the Xia Country Guardian brings back the luck crystal, each region must bear the responsibility of collecting luck crystal fragments themselves."

Li Xunle inadvertently heard a new term:

"Xia Country Guardian? What does that mean?"

Tang Long heard Li Xunle's question and explained:

"The Xia Country Guardian refers to super experts capable of entering and exiting the Cosmic Cube. They specialize in collecting luck crystals from the Cosmic Cube, such as the Level 100 Blade Saint—Mei Changshu, and the Level 100 Blade Saint—Hu Yidao."

Li Xunle was intrigued:

"Besides collecting luck crystals, what else do they do?"

"They are also responsible for safeguarding the security of Xia Country, for example, threats from other countries, and also the rotation of Xia Country's ruling families, all require their approval."

Tang Long spoke of the Xia Country Guardian with admiration in his eyes.

Li Xunle was eager:

"How many Xia Country Guardians are there?"

"Officially, there are eleven, and they are also the eleven strongest combatants in our Xia Country."

"So, there are others in secret?"

"That, we don't know, and aren't clear about..."

Tang Long shook his head.

Li Xunle waved his hand:

"We've strayed too far. Who are the people going to the Land of Divine Punishment tomorrow?"

Wang Hong pondered for a moment upon hearing this, then spoke seriously:

"Six top Adventurers of levels 70-80, and also Wang Hao and you."

At this moment,

Tang Long suddenly remembered something, looking worried:

"Wang Hao and Li Xunle are so low-level, I'm worried..."

Wang Hong, however, seemed to have already made arrangements:

"Three people will protect Wang Hao, and three will protect Li Xunle. There shouldn't be a big problem."

Li Xunle's eyes showed contemplation, but he didn't speak.

However, he was muttering inwardly:

As long as I don't have to protect that bunch of people, it'll be fine. And they're going to protect me?
