Chapter 108

After a simple thought, Chen Shicheng suddenly said, "I agree to join the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department, but"

"But what?" Song Bingyuan hurriedly asked.

"Saying something a bit chuunibyou, now is an era of great contention; I cannot neglect gaming for the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department's affairs, so for some minor matters I might not intervene. Of course, you can rest assured—if something major truly happens, I will definitely not stand by idly."

"That works out well; I also didn't want to bother you with everything—ordinary incidents my people can handle."

"Then. Director Song, from now on we are colleagues."

Having received the assurance, Chen Shicheng satisfiedly extended his hand to Song Bingyuan.

"Don't call me Director; we don't do that here—just call me Lao Song. Don't forget to come to the bureau tomorrow to finish the paperwork."

Only when his hand clasped Chen Shicheng's did Song Bingyuan finally let out a sigh of relief.

This way, his bureau now had a presentable player; from now on, when encountering someone like Yu Wei, he wouldn't need to beg grandparents and grandparents to request aid from above.

Since the invitation matter was settled, Song Bingyuan didn't linger; he soon left under Chen Shicheng's seeing-off.

After seeing Song Bingyuan off, Chen Shicheng sat alone in the dark room, recalling the night's events.

First, together with Shuigu Tang he eliminated Yu Wei, this great trouble; then he was visited by the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department; shortly after he joined the national organization, and thereafter he seemed about to become busy. Coming to his senses, Chen Shicheng shook his head, took out tonight's spoils from his storage compartment—also the highest-value relic.

【Yellow Turban Strongman Bean Seed】

【Quality: Primordial Relic】

【Introduction: Can refine a high-level cultivator's corpse into a Yellow Turban Strongman, whose level and strength equal those of the cultivator before death; each summon can last 60 minutes.】

The relic's appearance is that of a lifelike soybean, except it's entirely made of gold, feeling somewhat heavy in hand.

Furthermore, from the description, the relic itself has no attack ability; how much effect it can produce depends entirely on what strength of corpse you can find, with both upper and lower limits being extreme.

Unfortunately, the monk's corpse that Yu Wei had refined was beheaded by him directly; to use this relic, he still needs to find another corpse himself.

"I don't know if Fourth Grandpa's corpse can be used by me."

Thinking of the separated corpse of the little rat in his storage compartment, Chen Shicheng laughed helplessly and immediately abandoned this unrealistic idea.

Casually tossing the initial-state bean seed into his storage compartment, he turned to take a cold shower, then immediately went to bed to sleep, since tomorrow he still needs to go to the Cultural Tourism Bureau to complete onboarding procedures.

The night passed without incident.

Early the next morning, Chen Shicheng washed up, dressed neatly, grabbed a quick breakfast downstairs, then hurried to the Cultural Tourism Bureau.

His timing was neither early nor late—just in time for their work hours—but he didn't see Song Bingyuan's figure.

After inquiring, he found out that last night, a high school student who had been bullied by 80, after gaining game power, launched a bloody revenge, resulting in a victory of one dead and three injured; Song Bingyuan had been handling this incident all night last night, so he didn't come back. Although he hadn't returned, the onboarding arrangements had already been issued, and soon someone led Chen Shicheng to complete the procedures.

The process was very simple; aside from the initial political review being somewhat cumbersome, the remaining steps took less than ten minutes to finish.

Among them was a personal attribute form; Chen Shicheng did not fill it out truthfully, but instead filled it according to the information Song Bingyuan had determined the previous night.

As for the final column for possessing relics, he casually wrote down "Eye of Bai Ze," while concealing the Stealing Heaven Pendant.

Afterward, he received an administrative vest uniform of the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department, a set of credentials bearing his photo, and a specially made satellite phone.

The title on the credentials matched what Director Song had promised—a special consultant—and the phone also had that exclusive website he mentioned.

After returning home, Chen Shicheng immediately opened the website named "Ji Zhou," whose icon is the current map of Huaxia.

After opening it, inside was a forum-like page with three options: "Tasks," "Redemption," and "Guides."

In the Tasks section, many tasks issued by the Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Departments of various places are densely listed; some involve the game, some are real-world—overall highlighting a situation of many things, few people, all kinds of varied.

However, each task also has its point value marked, so one can clearly know how many points they will earn after putting in effort.

Then he opened the Redemption section; the page instantly turned into a shopping app.

The total pages exceed 9999+, and the redeemable items are countless—equipment, one-time use items, elixirs, spirit seals, materials—everything you could want, also giving him, who just left the Newbie Village, an eye-opening experience.

Moreover, in the upper-right corner of this page, there is an unregistered indicator.

Following the instructions, he entered the code from his credentials; the page then switched, showing his account information, and beneath his name there was actually a balance of one thousand points.

Curiously clicking in, he saw it was the reward for assisting the C City Cultural Tourism Bureau Logistics Department in capturing and killing Yu Wei.

It seems Director Song violated procedure, confusing the timing; thus the credit was attributed to the bureau, but the hidden danger also disappeared.

From now on, no one can threaten me with the Yu Wei matter; it appears Director Song's sincerity is also quite substantial.

However, these one thousand points aren't worth much; after checking the redemption prices, he roughly calculated that one point equals the purchasing power of one tael of silver.

Moreover, in the redemption list, the highest-priced item is a divine-tier equipment "Pure Yang Flying Sword," costing one million points; relying on tasks to accumulate these points, I estimate that even selling them to the bureau all my life wouldn't be enough—putting this equipment up for redemption likely aims to give everyone a goal, motivating them to actively do tasks.

Of course, it's not that absolute; besides earning points from tasks, one can also list information about their owned items for professionals to evaluate, then sell them internally for points.

Overall, this redemption system is very similar to the game's guild warehouse: through tasks and depositing equipment to obtain KDP, then exchanging for various items.

This is also the significance of the organization: letting everyone exchange what they need with minimal cost, which is always more efficient than individual effort within an economy.
