Xia Pingan followed Mo Yanshao around the building. Mo Yanshao introduced the Committee of Order to Xia Pingan as they walked.
There were also a few charmingly naive robots walking around in the building. Mo Yanshao casually placed the document signed by Xia Pingan on a robot's tray and asked the robot to deliver it to the archives room. The robot turned around and went into the elevator to deliver the document.
"The Committee of Order's main responsibility is to deal with dimensional invasions and threats from otherworldly creatures. At the same time, we deal with all matters related to summoners, awakened ones, and all supernatural forces that threaten national security and social stability.
The National Committee of Order's operations force in Xianghe City is divided into two parts. One is the Special Operations Division. The main personnel of the Special Operations Division are divided into two parts. One is combat personnel, and the other is logistics support personnel.
The combat personnel are mainly summoners and awakened ones like you. The Special Operations Division is directly under my command. In addition to the Special Operations Division, there is also a military base behind this building. There is a regiment of the National Committee of Order's Security Response Force in the base. The chief officer of the Security Response Force is Colonel Si Shiming.
According to the nature and difficulty of the mission, the Security Response Force will cooperate with us, but sometimes the Special Operations Division will act alone. Also, we will receive requests for assistance from the Xianghe City Police, the Drug Enforcement Department, the Department of Homeland Security, and other departments. We will also carry out some missions with those departments. You will know in the future … "
The two of them talked as they walked. In just a few words, Mo Yanshao brought Xia Pingan to the door of an office with a sign hanging on it. Mo Yanshao pushed the door open and walked in.
The atmosphere in the office was relaxed. There was even music playing. There was the aroma of coffee in the office. A plump woman in her forties wearing a loose dress was taking care of a bonsai with a spray bottle in the office. She looked quite relaxed. When she saw Mo Yanshao come in, the woman put down the spray bottle and called out, "Director!"
"Well, this is Lu Qi, the Director of Financial Affairs of our Special Operations Division. You can call her Sister Lu!" Mo Yanshao said to Xia Pingan, "In the future, you can collect special event funds or claim the operation expenses right here!"
After talking to Xia Pingan, Mo Yanshao said to the middle-aged woman, "Sister Lu, this is a new recruit in the Special Operations Division. Help him with the financial procedures according to the Special Operations Division's Level 1 salary!"
"Alright!" Big Sister Lu glanced at Xia Pingan, turned around, opened the drawer, took out a form, and handed it over with a smile. "Young man, come, sign here. Write down the name of the beneficiary of your accident compensation and your relationship. Don't be nervous, this is just a formality.
The basic monthly salary for a Level 1 employee is 69000 RMB, which is paid on the first of every month. Operational bonuses and special allowances are not included. Your salary card will be given to you when you receive your salary. The compensation for accidents will be accumulated based on your years of service in the Special Operations Division. The first year is 4 million RMB, and it will increase by 500,000 RMB every year … "
The basic monthly salary was 69000 yuan, and that did not include bonuses and special allowances. This treatment was not bad. It could be considered the salary of a high-ranking white-collar worker. It was much better than when he was an auto mechanic. The compensation for accidents was also a large sum.
With such a stable salary, he could consider changing Xia Pingan's place of residence. Yes, he could buy a house. Xia Pingan had always wanted to have a stable home. He did not have to rent houses everywhere and pay rent every month …
Xia Pingan thought to himself. He quickly signed the form. As for the beneficiary, of course, he wrote down Xia Pingan's name.
After filling out the form, Xia Pingan handed it over. Big Sister Lu looked at it and nodded. "It's done!" She put the form away and continued to take care of her potted plants. Mo Yanshao brought Xia Pingan out of the finance office.
"May I ask, what is the Level 1 salary in the Special Operations Division?" Xia Pingan asked purely out of curiosity.
"Level 19!" Mo Yanshao smiled. "My salary is Level 5. The basic monthly salary is 390,000 yuan. The Committee of Order will not be stingy to people with special abilities. The country will not let us bleed and suffer poverty. The highest annual salary of a summoner in the Committee of Order is in the hundreds of millions, comparable to a high-ranking fund manager. There are no poor people in the Special Operations Division …"
A summoner with an annual salary in the hundreds of millions?
It seemed that there were no poor summoners!
"Now that you mention it, I feel like I'm taking advantage of the situation here …" Xia Pingan said to Mo Yanshao.
"You're not taking advantage of the situation either. The price of hiring summoners and awakened ones is not low. Moreover, working here is a high-risk occupation. This salary is a friendship price because of the service to the country. Summoners and awakened ones are paid even more when they are hired by other countries' governments, large companies, large groups, and private rich people!"
Xia Pingan blinked. "Working here gives me the opportunity to earn extra money outside?"
"Hehe, you'll know in the future. Summoners are a scarce resource. Not every country or rich person can keep a group of summoners on standby at all times like the big countries!"
"Now that you mention it, I kind of understand!" Xia Pingan nodded. "By the way, the Committee of Order seems to prefer the number nine. My Level 1 salary is 69000 yuan. Your Level 4 salary is 390,000 yuan. There are 19 levels in the entire salary system?"
"Hahaha, you've noticed it too. Summoners can be quite superstitious sometimes. This is a tradition passed down from many years ago. Everyone thinks that the number nine is auspicious and symbolizes longevity. Therefore, the basic salary of all levels ends with the number nine!"
The two of them chatted as they got into the elevator. Mo Yanshao pressed the button for B7. In the blink of an eye, the elevator flew down and arrived at B7. As soon as the elevator door opened, Xia Pingan heard the faint sound of gunshots coming from this floor.
"This is the Special Operations Division's equipment warehouse and training ground. You'll definitely come here often in the future …"
Walking out of the elevator, they passed through a passageway that was more than 20 meters long. After turning a corner, Xia Pingan felt like he had arrived at a large "super store."
The floor of the "store" was shiny and brightly lit. It looked a bit like a place that sold jewelry and luxury goods. It was very stylish. Behind a long counter and a display window were "display shelves." The "goods" on the shelves were dazzling.
On the left side of this "super store" were all kinds of premium firearms from all over the world. There were pistols, assault rifles, sniper rifles, submachine guns, grenade sniper rifles. It could be said that it had everything. If a gun enthusiast came here and saw the dazzling array of firearms, they might faint from happiness.
In the middle of the counter were all kinds of cold weapons. There were all kinds of daggers, swords, machetes, spears, nunchucks, darts, and so on. Every weapon here had its own unique characteristics. It was dazzling.
On the right side of the counter was more like a luxury brand store. The display windows inside were sparkling. There were well-ironed suits, shirts, shoes, belts, watches, mobile phones, earrings, necklaces, bags, bulletproof vests, tactical vests, and so on.
"The weapons here are high-quality goods from all over the world. We also support customization and modification according to your needs. The clothes may look ordinary to you, but they are actually made of special polymer materials. Every shirt here is bulletproof and stab-proof. The standard equipment of the Special Operations Division is distributed free of charge. However, if you want to come here to customize something special, you will need money. Some of the items are very expensive!"
"Is that so?"
Mo Yanshao rubbed his nose ruefully and smiled bitterly. "When you receive your salary, you think you're rich, but when you come here, you'll realize you're poor!"
As the two of them were talking, the door behind the counter opened. An old man with a bald head, a potbelly, and white hair walked out. He wore glasses as thick as the bottom of a glass bottle, a fountain pen in his ear, and a tape measure on his shoulder. He was wearing a grey shirt and denim overalls. "Director Mo, another newcomer?"
This old man looked like an old tailor.
"Mm, this is Xia Pingan, a newcomer from the Special Operations Division. This is Lao Zhou, Director of the Equipment Department. On this floor, he has the final say. Everyone listens to him …" Mo Yanshao introduced Xia Pingan and the old man to each other. "Lao Zhou, take a look. Give him a newcomer's outfit!"
"Newcomer's outfit, sure!" The old man smiled and glanced at Xia Pingan. He grinned. "Kid, come here. Give me both your hands. I'll see what's suitable for you …"
Hand reading? What was he doing? Palm reading here? Xia Pingan glanced at Mo Yanshao. Mo Yanshao nodded at him, indicating for Xia Pingan to cooperate.
Xia Pingan didn't say anything. He walked over and extended his hands.
"Relax your hands …" Lao Zhou said as he touched Xia Pingan's right hand. He touched every knuckle and bone on Xia Pingan's right hand from the fingertips to the shoulder. He even took out a tape measure to measure the distance between Xia Pingan's wrist to his elbow, then from his elbow to his shoulder.
After touching the right hand, Lao Zhou touched Xia Pingan's left hand. He used the same method to pinch and measure it.
After touching Xia Pingan's hand, Lao Zhou turned around and rummaged through the shelves. He then took out a box and placed it in front of Xia Pingan. He opened the box. Inside was a shiny silver large-caliber revolver with a scope.
"Kid, this is the most suitable pistol for you. It's the enhanced sniper version of the Manuel MR73 from the Matra Defense Company in France. This is an improved version of the Manuel MR73. It looks almost exactly the same as the MR73, but the caliber is a bit bigger and the barrel is a bit longer.
The caliber of the MR73 is 0.357, but this gun's caliber is 0.5. This gun preserves the shooting accuracy of the MR73 to the greatest extent. It's safe and reliable. At the same time, it can fire .50 Magnum high-power bullets. The maximum kinetic energy of the muzzle is 3100 Joules. It can even take down a wild bear. The scope on the gun was installed by the Matra Defense Company when it was used by the special forces. I think this design really reflects the funny spirit of the Gauls, so I kept it … "
3100 Joules of kinetic energy at the muzzle. F * ck, the kinetic energy of an AK47 was only 2000 Joules. If the person who used this gun didn't have enough wrist strength, the gun would fly out of his hand after one shot. It might even fly back and smash into his face.
Before Xia Pingan could react, Lao Zhou went to the cold weapons rack behind him and took out a black box. He opened the box. Inside was a black steel whip that was rolled up like a cobra. It was quite heavy.
The handle of the steel whip was very thick, and the tail was very thin. At first glance, it looked like a black cobra.
Seeing Lao Zhou take out the box, Mo Yanshao's eyebrows twitched. He pointed at the long black whip. "Lao Zhou, the black cobra in your box has been here for many years. No one can use it. Are you sure he can use it? If he doesn't use it well, he might hurt himself …"
Lao Zhou glared at Mo Yanshao and snorted stubbornly. "I can't be wrong. Others can't use it, but this kid definitely can. Even if he can't use it now, he will definitely be able to use it in the future. Why don't we make a bet …"
"Forget it!" Mo Yanshao rubbed his nose. He didn't want to bet with Lao Zhou.
When Lao Zhou took out the silver Manuel MR98, Xia Pingan was not surprised. However, when Lao Zhou took out the black steel whip from the second box, Xia Pingan was surprised. How did Lao Zhou know that he could use a whip …
