Chapter 79: Ji Huai: Qin Chuan Steps Forward!

He opened the contract's main text, and clauses appeared before Qin Chuan's eyes.

As he was reading, Zhou Zixiu's voice came from beside him.

"This contract is short for the Special Affairs Cooperation Agreement."

"You can understand it as an external personnel agreement."

"In the not-too-distant future, more and more powerful superpowered individuals will appear; the Special Affairs Group cannot let all of them join, yet it cannot ignore their strength—any bit of power will be important in the dangers that may arise."

"That's why such an agreement exists…"

After Zhou Zixiu finished explaining the background and reason for this agreement, Qin Chuan had already skimmed through its contents.

Overall, it is a fairly lenient agreement.

Unlike what he had imagined, being a member of the Special Affairs Group does not mean performing its tasks every day.

Only when an emergency arises and the Special Affairs Group's personnel cannot complete the task smoothly will it invite him and other superpowered individuals who have signed this agreement to assist.

All his doubts and hesitations stemmed from his own uniqueness, and this extremely lenient agreement gave him a considerable sense of security.

"Indeed, you can choose for yourself." Zhou Zixiu pointed at the contract, "but this contract is for only one year; if you refuse all assistance invitations during that year, it will not be renewed."

First, a fixed monthly cooperation subsidy.

Moreover, participation is not required for every assistance mission.

Such a requirement is hardly anything.

Over a year, he will surely have a few chances to be of help, right?

"No problem." Qin Chuan spoke without hesitation.

Currently the subsidy is five thousand per month; if Qin Chuan demonstrates greater strength or accumulates contributions by completing assistance missions multiple times, the subsidy can be increased.

Like countless superpowered individuals in the Yanhuang State, he feels favorable toward the Special Affairs Group, and he is willing to do whatever he can for it.

According to the agreement, he may choose whether to participate; if he does, after the mission he will receive a bonus from the Special Affairs Group based on his contribution.

"This point won't be spelled out in writing, but I need to make it clear to you."

After reading the agreement, Qin Chuan set aside many of his doubts.

Next, the relevant rights concerning the Dream Exchange.

Besides that, his transaction records will receive a higher confidentiality level; even within the Special Affairs Group, viewing them requires higher clearance.

"Besides that, there's one more thing." Zhou Zixiu glanced at Qin Chuan and smiled slightly. "Zhang Zhe's wanted poster carries a bounty of one million."

And once he signs this contract, he can obtain two benefits.

"Then congratulations, you are now one of the Special Affairs Group's contracted external personnel." Zhou Zixiu picked up the contract, glanced at it, and said, "Two copies; after the Special Affairs Group stamps them, one will be mailed to your address."

After reviewing the agreement more carefully and confirming there were no issues, Qin Chuan finally signed his name, filled in the bank account number for the monthly subsidy transfer, and his mailing address.

As long as he signs this agreement, when he and an ordinary player both need to trade for a resource, he can trade with priority.

"I'm currently in my third year of high school, and I'll still have to go to university later—I might not have that much time to assist the Special Affairs Group with emergencies. The agreement says I can choose whether to participate; is that really true?" Qin Chuan pointed at the clause and confirmed.

"During the operation to apprehend him, you intercepted Zhang Zhe, preventing him from charging into the crowd and causing possible casualties; after discussion, it was decided that 100,000 of this bounty is yours."

"This money will be deposited into your card today."

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up.

He hadn't even thought about wanting a bounty, after all, what he did back then was merely a trivial effort.

Now, there is actually an unexpected surprise.

The 100,000, plus the 200,000 his friend Xiao Pang's father gave him yesterday, means that his previously tightening finances should not require him to worry about money in the short term—even the diamond powder, whose price has risen considerably due to frequent purchases by water-affinity superpowered individuals, can be bought without worry.

After placing the contract in a paper bag, Zhou Zixiu suddenly remembered something and smiled again.

"There's one more thing."

"The results of yesterday's practical combat assessment have come out; they will be announced tonight in the superpowered combat class, but I can tell you in advance that your score is 100." Zhou Zixiu paused slightly, then added, "In all of Changxing City, only three students scored 100 this time."

"If you perform well in the upcoming practical assessments, you are very likely to be directly admitted to the superpowered combat department of Yanbei or Hua Qing."

"Thanks to Tang Qiuyi." Zhou Zixiu chuckled. "If he hadn't made the decisive call to halt the assessment at the critical moment, you would have only scored 60 this time."

Qin Chuan's eyes lit up again.

Direct admission!

That means he can go straight to university without taking the college entrance exam.

And they are the two best universities in the Yanhuang State.

For him, this is hard to refuse.

"I will definitely participate in the upcoming practical assessments." Qin Chuan spoke without hesitation.

"Put the practical assessments aside for now." Zhou Zixiu's eyes gleamed with schadenfreude as he patted Qin Chuan's shoulder. "Ji Huai, upon hearing your results, is quite interested."

Qin Chuan's expression instantly became animated.

—

"The results of yesterday's practical combat assessment are already out."

During tonight's superpowered combat class, after practicing the fist techniques twice as usual, Ji Huai faced countless nervous gazes and spoke calmly.

"Even if I don't announce it, you probably already know your own scores."

"Considering that most of you are facing demonic beasts for the first time, I won't criticize this time, but if you're weak, practice more—don't drag down your teammates in the next practical assessment."

As Ji Huai's words were spoken, many in the team showed embarrassed expressions.

Unlike the smoothly proceeding Tenth Squad, other squads encountered many jokes during their missions, and some members even disagreed, nearly coming to blows in the argument.

"Check your practical assessment scores yourselves after class." Ji Huai saw no need to waste class time on such trivialities. "Now, Qin Chuan, step forward!"

Within the ranks, Qin Chuan's mouth twitched slightly.

When Zhou Zixiu mentioned during the morning break that Ji Huai was interested in him, he had anticipated that tonight's superpowered combat class might not be peaceful.

As he stepped out, a pair of eyes in the formation couldn't help but glance after him.

They were very curious why Qin Chuan was singled out.

Of course, there were also quite a few classmates who had already heard that Qin Chuan had been promoted to an official player, and at this moment they showed expressions of "as expected."

"In this practical combat exam, Qin Chuan is one of the three perfect scores in Long Prosperity City." Ji Huai said offhandedly, then looked at Qin Chuan, "Today's practical sparring, one-on-one between us."

As his words fell, an uproar broke out in the ranks.

Qin Chuan's expression darkened.

As expected, he had known it would turn out like this!
