Chapter 17: The Privileges Ye Xuan Possesses, the God Who Values Contracts

The facts were indeed so.

To others, the benefits of joining the Heavenly Pivot Bureau that Su Mengyao mentioned might be very good, but to Ye Xuan, they held no attraction whatsoever.

First, he was not short on money. Although his parents were divorced and had each formed new families, they had never stinted on Ye Xuan in terms of money; his monthly allowance was never less than a million.

If he needed it, he could obtain more.

Second, because he had money, things like housing allocation and medical security meant nothing to him. As for family care, apart from some special periods, wealthy people lived very well most of the time, and there was no need for Ye Xuan to worry.

The only thing that piqued Ye Xuan's interest was the Research Institute's study of Qi, and he looked forward to Da Xia developing a complete cultivation system involving alchemy, artifact refining, and talismans in the future, but as the saying goes:

Possessing the System, he would not lack treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos in the future. In other words, he would be able to fish these things up himself in the future and did not need to go through the state.

"If you are unwilling to join the Heavenly Pivot Bureau, you can also choose to cooperate with us."

"After cooperating, we will provide basic benefits as usual, such as housing allocation, medical security, and even special care for family members, but you will have to rely on yourselves for funding."

"We will issue some missions every day. You can obtain points by accepting and completing these missions, and then exchange those points for the things you want from the Heavenly Pivot Bureau."

"However, there aren't many things for you to exchange for right now, only some modern technological products, but we will definitely add more in the future."

"Medicinal pills, magical treasures, and even cultivation techniques or treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos like Devil Fruits might also be placed inside."

In this regard, Su Mengyao was quite confident.

After all, the speed at which the state and individuals collect treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos is certainly different. They might not be able to collect the ones with high difficulty, but they could still collect those with lower difficulty, like Devil Fruits, though the price was relatively high.

Among Great Xia's twenty-three Devil Fruit users, ten were people from their Heavenly Pivot Bureau.

Depending on the ability, the price of a Devil Fruit varied. Excluding some that could not be identified, the lowest price was at least one hundred million.

This was not in Sakura currency, but in real Da Xia currency.

Yet even so, they were often intercepted by other departments. They had no shame at all; did they not know the importance of the Heavenly Pivot Bureau?

"Cooperation is possible."

"However, I will not hand over the corpses of the mutated creatures I hunt, and I don't need the points."

"Is this acceptable?"

Ye Xuan had no interest in the pie-in-the-sky promises in Su Mengyao's words, but he was quite interested in mutated creatures.

Because someone online had said that the bodies of mutated creatures tasted very good, and after eating them, one would feel a clear sensation of being nourished.

Currently, the concentration of Qi on Blue Star was not high, and even if the techniques within the Wangquan Baye template could be cultivated, the speed was not fast.

If the flesh and blood of mutated creatures could accelerate his cultivation speed, he naturally would not want to give that up.

But Hangzhou was so large that no one knew where mutated creatures would appear. If the Heavenly Pivot Bureau could provide him with locations, that would undoubtedly be for the best.

It was no big deal to forgo the points; they were useless to him anyway.

"..."

"Fine."

What else could Su Mengyao say? Did Ye Xuan look down on the things in their Heavenly Pivot Bureau that much?

Although the flesh and blood of mutated creatures contained quite a bit of Qi and could nourish the body to a certain extent after being eaten, the Qi tide had not yet begun. With the current concentration of Qi on Blue Star, the effect was minimal. Was it really worth forgoing even the points?

After signing the contract, Su Mengyao breathed a sigh of relief. Regardless, at least the person now had some connection with their Heavenly Pivot Bureau; her mission was complete.

Then, as if remembering something, Su Mengyao reminded Ye Xuan:

"As for school, you can choose whether to go or not."

"We actually hope that you people with aptitude can seize every moment to become stronger, but we also understand the importance of knowledge."

"So we leave the right of choice to you."

"As for university, you don't need to worry; you can go to whichever one you want."

"As a holder of a template from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos, you have privileges in this regard."

When the Qi tide would arrive was an unknown, so before it arrived, the Heavenly Pivot Bureau hoped that those with aptitude could become as strong as possible, so that they would have the ability to protect themselves when the Qi tide came. It would be even better if they could lend a helping hand to victims around them, though they did not require this.

However, they also understood the importance of knowledge.

Whether it was superpowers or treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos, wanting to become stronger required developing one's abilities, and this required not only imagination but also knowledge.

So they didn't know how to choose either, and it was better to leave the choice to them.

But in Su Mengyao's view, unless one was particularly gifted in learning, there was not much need to spend time on study. As for the development of abilities, they could completely entrust the Heavenly Pivot Bureau to invite professors in relevant fields to formulate plans specifically for them.

If they couldn't learn it, it was not only a waste of time but their strength wouldn't increase either.

Even if they did learn it, if their learning talent was average, they couldn't reach the level of the professors they invited.

If one only valued a diploma, then it didn't matter.

They could help them arrange for a corresponding school to grant them a diploma. Anyway, with their status as superpowered individuals, they would be special existences no matter which unit they went to, and no one would refuse them.

Especially after the Qi tide.

"I understand."

Ye Xuan nodded. He had thought of this the moment he took action.

Although it was a pity that he had only just shown off his power in front of people at school after obtaining the System and now couldn't go anymore, if he were made to attend classes, do homework, and take exams every day, he might not be willing to do so for long.

If he really wanted to learn, learning at home was the same.

High school and university courses were not scarce on the internet, and if he felt it was troublesome, he could hire someone to come over and tutor him.

It was merely a matter of how he chose.

Su Mengyao left with the contract. Although both she and Ye Xuan knew that a so-called contract could not bind a strong person, this country had a god who valued contracts.

This was a good thing, both for Da Xia and for Ye Xuan.

Facing a future about to descend into chaos, maintaining stable order was a very difficult thing, but Da Xia had solved it precisely because of the existence of Li Lao.

This was probably the reason why Li Lao was pushed to the forefront and the vast majority of information was revealed.

Da Xia needed someone who could suppress all superpowered individuals and holders of treasures from the Myriad Realms of the Cosmos.
