Who Understands? (Chapter 143)
As Gu Luoyu had said, the potion-enhanced espers who were taken to the research institute were not detained. After a short period of training, they were categorized and selected, and then quickly assigned to suitable positions.
To be honest, the results were quite good.
Although most of them didn’t possess combat abilities, they still helped alleviate a lot of the base’s pressure.
As for the potion-enhanced espers wanting to get stronger, they needed to constantly “consume potions.” However, the base was in urgent need of transformation potion, so there were no extras to spare for them. Upgrading wasn’t that easy.
Moreover, low-tier transformation potion had little effect, while high-tier potions were much more effective.
Quantity couldn’t make up for quality.
However, this had little to do with Ye Sheng. After she followed Gu Luoyu to the service hall to start her guard duty, she immediately experienced what it meant to have a leisurely, retirement-like job.
It was like graduating and directly becoming a security guard, retiring fifty years early...
(～￣▽￣)～
Apart from encountering a group robbery on the first day, there were no other troubles afterward.
Perhaps it was because they heard the news of the robbers being completely wiped out, or maybe it was due to the presence of an esper guarding the service hall. In any case, this guard duty was extremely easy, and the 1.5 million base points felt like free money.
During this time, there were some minor issues, but nothing serious.
The twin sisters, who had been sent earlier as guides from the commission hall, despite being completely ignored... perhaps because Gu Luoyu’s conditions were too good, they refused to give up. So, they secretly came over later, trying to curry favor.
However, Gu Luoyu coldly called the station leader and informed him that someone was disturbing her work.
After this move, Ye Sheng never saw the twin sisters again, and she couldn’t help but look at Gu Luoyu with admiration.
If only she could have driven away her unwanted suitors so easily back then!
(ಥ_ಥ)
Just as Ye Sheng was feeling melancholic about this, she didn’t know that the twin sisters who had been driven away had already had a special command implanted in their brains. That very night, they ended their own lives.
No longer causing any trouble.
A permanent solution.
“Wow, have the points been credited?”
As soon as the seven-day task ended, Ye Sheng’s eyes sparkled as she stared at Gu Luoyu’s wristband. Seeing this, Gu Luoyu didn’t push her away but instead lit up her super-intelligent wristband and opened the transaction record.
The glaring number of zeros made Ye Sheng grin from ear to ear.
Hahahaha.
Family, who can understand, they struck it rich!!!
(✧◡✧)
With over a million base points, they truly had money in hand and peace in mind. Living in the safe zone, they no longer had to worry about expenses!
Thinking back to when she had to go to the wilderness to earn money just to pay off debts, it was a bit heartbreaking!
“Want to go shopping?”
Having lived together for so long, Gu Luoyu knew Ye Sheng’s personality well.
She loved shopping.
Base points weren’t particularly attractive to Gu Luoyu. Earning money was just to make Ye Sheng happy, and now was the time to spend it. She didn’t feel any pain about it.
Upon hearing this, Ye Sheng jumped up and down in excitement. She circled around Gu Luoyu several times before finally stopping, her excitement still bubbling over.
She chose to directly hug Gu Luoyu’s arm, leaning in for a close, intimate snuggle.
At the same time, her black eyes sparkled like stars as she responded, “Yes!”
Her voice was full of energy, making Gu Luoyu smile slightly as she prepared to take Ye Sheng out.
“Guard Gu Luoyu, would you be willing to accept a private mission? The reward is very generous. It’s a long-term mission, settled monthly!”
Gu Luoyu and Ye Sheng weren’t walking very fast, so the leader hurriedly caught up with them. He didn’t dare to beat around the bush and got straight to the point.
Clearly, he had taken a liking to Gu Luoyu’s strength and wanted to recruit her.
After all, having a powerful esper as a subordinate was both prestigious and cost-effective.
Hearing this, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but pout, thinking the leader was dreaming.
They were as free as the wind.
How could they bind themselves for a few points?
As if anticipating their refusal, the leader quickly added, “The monthly reward is 18 million base points!”
What???
Σ( ° △ °|||)
Ye Sheng was stunned, her mouth agape.
Wait, are base points that easy to earn? These damn rich people!
Ye Sheng suddenly felt like taking back her earlier words. After all, it was tens of millions of points, and just for a month’s work...
Just as Ye Sheng was hesitating, Gu Luoyu was straightforward: “No.”
With that, Gu Luoyu pulled Ye Sheng along, leaving the leader standing there with a look of regret. But he also knew that Espers were hard to recruit, so he could only watch as the two figures, one tall, one short, walked away.
Continue to stop them?
Just kidding, did he want to die?
Espers didn’t care who you were. If you angered them, they’d be like mad dogs.
...
After leaving the vicinity of the service hall, Ye Sheng couldn’t help but sigh.
No matter the time, the wealth gap was always huge!
Back in the buffer zone, she had to struggle just to fill her stomach. After moving to the outer city of the safe zone, earning points wasn’t slow, but then someone casually offered tens of millions of base points.
And this was just a leader of a service hall station.
If it were those in the central area of the base, wouldn’t they be even more extravagant? It was truly a case of the poor getting poorer and the rich getting richer, making one envious and resentful.
However, although she couldn’t compete in terms of birth, she could win with ability.
After all, the little pitiful one she picked up was now a big shot who couldn’t be hired even with tens of millions per month~
[]~(￣▽￣)~*
As for Ye Sheng herself, she didn’t have the ambition to surpass Gu Luoyu’s salary. She just wanted to earn a bit more here and there... People should learn to be content and self-aware.
“Don’t feel regretful. There are plenty of opportunities to earn points, and it’s best to accept officially issued missions. Some private missions hide many traps and can easily make you a scapegoat.”
Gu Luoyu looked down at Ye Sheng, who was clearly lost in thought, and suddenly spoke a few words. Ye Sheng quickly snapped out of it and shook her head at Gu Luoyu.
Ye Sheng wanted to say that she wasn’t that shortsighted. Although she had been shamelessly tempted for a moment, she quickly rejected the temptation!
She hurriedly explained, “No, no, I was just shocked hearing about a reward of tens of millions for the first time... Huh?”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ye Sheng looked in surprise to the left side of the street, where a man standing against the wall reached out and grabbed the air. The next second, a small burst of dazzling fireworks appeared.
Though it wasn’t very noticeable in the daytime, it still caught attention.
Another person standing beside him held a palm-sized gong. With a small tap of the wooden stick, the sound immediately became deafening.
“Don’t miss out, folks! Old Zhang’s Beef Noodles is now open! New customers get discounts, come and try our delicious beef noodles!”
Ye Sheng: (๑°⌓°๑)
Wow, potion-enhanced espers’ special abilities could be used like this?
