Chapter 82: 81 Unexpected Harvest

81 Unexpected Harvest

【Because you are suspected of asking for money from an opposite-sex partner, you successfully activated the Black Iron Badge "Scumbag"】

【Scumbag: A male human who is not loyal enough in relationships, establishes intimate relationships with more than one person of the opposite sex at the same time, or tends to pursue profit and pleasure, and has poor character.】

【Equipped Effect: Your charm will be slightly increased, but your reputation among opposite-sex individuals who want to build a family will decline. However, for some opposite-sex individuals with special hobbies, your attractiveness will increase significantly.】

【Advancement Route: Continue to ask for money from intimate opposite-sex individuals with ambiguous relationships more than 10 times, and this badge will automatically advance to the Bronze Badge "Soft Rice Eater";

Or, relying on your own outstanding charm, establish intimate relationships with 10 opposite-sex individuals, and this badge will skip the Bronze stage and advance directly to the Bai Yin Badge "Sea King"】

【Hidden Trait (No need to equip): The mental damage you actively cause to the opposite sex will increase】

"..."

Mental damage... does the mental shock triggered by an anomalous object count? If it counts, then this badge might be quite practical?

Closing the badge panel speechlessly, feeling uncomfortable being stared at by the strange eyes of the Secret Investigation Bureau, Hearing Li Ang, who had gained an "unexpected harvest", didn't dare to stay long. He argued with the female police officer with a stiff scalp, obtained a promise to return the files within three days, and then fled in a panic under the gaze of at least a hundred people.

What's wrong with the damn rebel, why is he acting so weird today?

Watching Hearing Li Ang's back as he left, shrinking his neck and bowing his waist, looking inexplicably embarrassed, the female police officer who had won a small victory raised her eyebrows in surprise, then walked back to the Secret Investigation Bureau lobby with full confusion.

"Miss Yisha..."

Watching her walk back with light steps, looking like she was in a good mood, the middle-aged female police officer who had been eating melons for a long time couldn't help but lean over and remind her with concern:

"Logically speaking, love is your own business for young people, and I shouldn't interfere, but... you must keep your eyes open and be careful to protect yourself!"

"..."???

Are you kidding! Although that bastard has his reasons, he is ultimately a rebel! How could I possibly have that kind of relationship with him?

Without revealing Hearing Li Ang's rebel identity, she responded vaguely and fooled the senior's outrageous concern, then walked underground with a speechless face, preparing to continue her work.

However, just as she entered the empty interrogation room and adjusted the glaring lights to be a bit softer, preparing to start questioning, she heard the door behind her creak.

"Miss Yisha?"

Squinting her eyes to identify the person, and confirming she hadn't found the wrong person, the male police officer holding a stack of files breathed a sigh of relief and signaled for her to come out and talk.

"What's wrong?"

After following the person out of the interrogation room, the female police officer glanced at the files in the other person's hand and found that they were the ones she had handed in this morning—files of martyrs' families who clearly didn't meet the deduction criteria but had their pensions stopped in advance. Her brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

"The military returned the files and the list? Are they refusing to reissue the pension? Or refusing to deal with those few derelict pension officers?"

"Both... they refuse to reissue the pension, and they don't plan to deal with the pension officers."

The male police officer said helplessly:

"The people on the military side said that being able to pay the pension until the age of sixteen is already reaching the minimum standard. They are not babysitters and have no obligation to take care of these people for a lifetime.

With a normal salary standard, as long as you work hard, it shouldn't be a problem to have enough food and clothing in the capital. If you can't maintain your life, it's best to find other reasons and see if these people aren't working hard enough themselves."

Not working hard enough?

If it were someone else, that would be fine, but that damn rebel almost worked himself to death to support the family, and as a result, he almost ended up with a broken home? You guys still have the nerve to say he isn't working hard enough?

Also, were the pensions for the past six years paid in full? Not to mention anything else, half of the pension the damn rebel's family deserved was discounted into a house in Old Soldier Alley based on the average housing price!

Damn it! That kind of broken house that has been built for at least sixty or seventy years, located far from the core area, surrounded by prisons or factories, and can't even be sold—you guys have the nerve to use it to offset the pension based on the average housing price? The record even brazenly wrote that the person agreed?

Back then, they were just a few children who had lost their parents. The small one had just been weaned, and the big one was not even ten years old. Even if they knew they were being cheated, besides agreeing, what else could they do?

"I know, thank you."

After listening to the relay, the female police officer was simply furious. She barely suppressed her anger, thanked the male police officer who came to notify her, and couldn't help but ask with a dark face:

"Can you tell me, who exactly said those things about not working hard?"

"A supervisor from the Pension Bureau, the name seems to be Will, Will Laien."

"..."

From now on, the two words I hate most in my life are Laien!

"Buzz..."

【Shooting Expert: Relying on your outstanding talent and exceptionally arduous practice, you have successfully cultivated excellent shooting feel, and your shooting level can already be described as superb.】

【Equipped Effect: Relying on the superb techniques you explored yourself and the excellent feel cultivated in diligent practice, when you consciously correct the muzzle direction, your shooting accuracy will be significantly improved.】

【Advancement Route: After completing 30,000 live-fire shots, this badge will automatically advance to the Golden Badge "Shooting Master". Current progress 0/30000】

【Hidden Trait (No need to equip): As a firearm enthusiast, when using a gun you are familiar with for shooting, your shooting stability will be significantly improved.】

Finally brushed to Bai Yin...

Opening the badge panel and looking at the 【Shooting Expert】 flashing with silver brilliance in the slot, Hearing Li Ang first lay on the spot and test-fired two shots, then retreated from the shooting position with half excitement and half depression.

The reason for the excitement goes without saying, of course, it's that after the Shooting Badge was upgraded to Bai Yin, the effect was once again improved by leaps and bounds.

Facing a human-shaped target five hundred meters away, no matter how the Bronze-level 【Shooter】 practiced and adjusted, ensuring nine out of ten shots hit the target stably was already the limit.

But the two shots test-fired after the badge upgrade directly reduced the "hit area" by nearly half, not only ensuring 100% hits but also vaguely allowing him to adjust the approximate landing point of the bullet, choosing to hit the upper or lower part of the target.

This is still a five-hundred-meter target where the nail gun will roll. If it were changed to a three-hundred-meter target, he could almost guarantee he would hit wherever he aimed. Under stable wind speed and light conditions, the maximum error would probably not exceed two centimeters!

As for why he would be depressed after such a big improvement... that is of course because the subsequent advancement has become more difficult.

"Thirty thousand rounds..."

Looking at the four shocking zeros in the advancement route, Hearing Li Ang couldn't help but sigh quietly.

According to his average shooting speed, even if he didn't work or go home every day and soaked in the shooting range, it would take more than a month to finish these thirty thousand nail shots.

According to the normal situation of only being able to come and shoot for an hour or two after work every day, wanting to continue to advance, it is estimated that it will take a total of one hundred and seventy or eighty days, which adds up to more than half a year. It seems that the Shooting Badge cannot be further improved in the short term.

Mmm... but he should still brush it.

Looking at the sky and seeing that the sun hadn't fully set, Hearing Li Ang picked up the nail gun again and, under the desperate eyes of the two managers in the distance, lay back on the shooting position again.

Compared to 【Friend of Demons】 which needs evil souls, and 【Devout Believer】 which needs to kill heretics with his own hands, the advancement conditions of the Shooting Badge are simply too simple.

And as long as he undergoes a mere half a year of training, he can possess the level of a "Shooting Master". He is already lucky enough, so what is there to complain about?

After shooting in the shooting range until dark, Hearing Li Ang first sent the sniper rifle back to the Cleaning Bureau, then walked toward Wang Gong Apartment.

Because of the strong old man who claimed to be in "poor health", he originally planned to sleep at the Cleaning Bureau and had even told Anna and the others in advance that he wouldn't be back for these two days because he was busy with work.

But since he had obtained 【Devout Believer】 which corresponds to 【Friend of Demons】, he might as well go back and try again. What if the hidden traits of these two badges offset each other, and the gatekeeper of Wang Gong Apartment changes his mind? ===== CHAPTER 83 =====
