"The success rate of this Slave Soldier Realm Pearl is very high. Most summoners can successfully fuse with this Realm Pearl, and it doesn't take long. Find some time to fuse with it this morning!"
"Okay, I'll go back and fuse with it later!" Xia Pingan actually wanted to open the box to see what kind of Realm Pearl this Slave Soldier Realm Pearl was, but he suppressed this thought.
Mo Yanshao nodded and continued to instruct Xia Pingan, "Today is the 15th of the lunar calendar, a good day for summoners. When night falls, before the moon rises, remember to use at least half of your Divine Power and store it in the secret mandala. Otherwise, it will go to waste. There's nothing else. Oh, right, a few colleagues from the Special Operations Division are back. You haven't met them before, remember to come to the cafeteria at noon and get to know them!"
"Okay, if there's nothing else, I'll go out first!"
When Xia Pingan walked to the door, Mo Yanshao reminded him again.
"Remember to collect your salary card and this month's Shenli Dan from the finance office. You were paid Level 1 last month, and this month you officially became a summoner, so you'll be paid Level 2!"
"How much is a Level 2 basic salary?"
"99000 yuan per month!"
If it was 99000 yuan per month, that would be more than a million yuan a year. He didn't expect it to be so easy to earn a million yuan after becoming a summoner!
Hearing about a salary increase always made people happy.
Xia Pingan took the box with the Slave Soldier Realm Pearl in his hand and left Mo Yanshao's office. He went straight to the finance office.
It was rare that Sister Lu in the finance office wasn't taking care of her bonsai today. Instead, she was sitting behind a desk.
"Hello, Sister Lu …"
"Ping 'an, long time no see …" Seeing Xia Pingan enter, Sister Lu directly handed Xia Pingan an envelope and a wooden box the size of a fist. "Your salary card and pay slip are in the envelope. This medicine box contains the Level 1 Shenli Dan you received this month. This Level 1 Shenli Dan can replenish 20 points of Divine Power. You can eat it when you go back. Come here and sign! “
Xia Pingan took the pen and wrote his name on a form.
"Pingan, you're doing well. You've only been employed for a month and you've already earned over 7 million …" Sister Lu praised Xia Pingan.
More than 7 million?
Xia Pingan froze for a moment, then laughed. "Sister Lu, are you kidding me? My basic salary is 69000 yuan, Director Mo said my salary was only raised to level two this month! “
"Yeah, your Level 1 salary is 69000 yuan, but didn't you go to the provincial department to carry out a special mission last month? The reward for that special mission was over 7 million yuan. I checked it, there's no mistake! Sister Lu said.
The last time he went to the provincial department, didn't he just fight in the Death Corner Fighting Arena and kill a scumbag? Why was there so much prize money?
"Alright, thank you Sister Lu. I'll go back and take a look!"
Xia Pingan left the finance office and went straight to his room. He then opened the envelope that belonged to him. Inside the envelope was a black bank card and a wage slip. He glanced at the wage slip. On the wage slip, the basic salary for level 1 was 69000 yuan, which would be paid in full in May. Apart from the basic salary for level 1, the largest sum on the wage slip came from the mission bonus.
The mission reward was a whopping 7.56 million yuan.
Adding the two together, Xia Pingan's pre-tax salary and bonus was 7629000 yuan. Summoners had a monthly tax allowance of 3 million yuan, so he had to pay 4629000 yuan in taxes. After deducting the taxes, his total salary and bonus was 7119810 yuan.
He earned 7 million yuan in a month!
Xia Pingan's mind was in a daze. He took out his phone and checked the balance on his bank card. As expected, the balance was 7119810 yuan.
He thought for a moment, then called Yan Duo.
"Hello …" Yan Duo's voice came from the phone. He sounded lazy and listless.
"I want to ask if there was a mission reward when I went to the Death Corner Fighting Arena last time. I saw it today. The reward was 7.56 million yuan …"
"Hmph, are you showing off to me? It's only 7 million yuan, a drop in the bucket … If it wasn't for … Forget it, you won't understand even if I tell you …"
"I want to ask, how did you get so much money?"
"It's only 7.56 million yuan, how much is that?" Yan Duo's voice was like a castrated cat. "The 3 million yuan is the appearance fee for your next Death Corner Fighting Arena. It's also the fee for buying your life. It's both a win and a loss. The 4.56 million yuan is your 5% share of the betting income from that match. This 7.56 million yuan is your mission reward. It's a reasonable amount.
Is there a problem? "Xia Pingan suppressed his excitement and took a deep breath." Okay, no problem. I got it. If you have another chance to fight in the future, you can continue to look for me. I'll treat you to a big meal … "
"Fight my ass. You're a summoner now. There's no fight in the Great Fire Country for you. Oh, right, do you think you have too much money to spend? Can you lend me some? I've been …"
"Ah, the signal here isn't very good. I have to enter the tunnel. I can't hear you. Hey, hey, what are you talking about? I can't hear you. I'm hanging up. Beep, beep, beep …"
Yan Duo, who was in Xinchuan, was stunned for two seconds when he saw the beeping sound coming from his phone. The corners of his eyes twitched as he cursed, "Xia Pingan, you bastard. Don't let me see you again …"
After cursing, Yan Duo looked at the income of more than 1 million yuan on his salary slip and couldn't help but frown. 'Alas, I'm too poor. I've earned more than 1 million yuan last month with a basic level-6 salary and a little mission reward. It's not even enough to cover the basic tax exemption. This amount of money is not enough to spend at all. It's not even enough to fill the gaps between my teeth …'
'I have to find a way to earn some money. Otherwise, how can I buy the Realm Pearl …'
…
After hanging up Yan Duo's call, Xia Pingan excitedly walked around his office a few times. Yesterday, he still felt that he was a standard poor person. He didn't expect to make a huge profit today. The saying that there were no poor summoners was right.
Just then, the phone rang again. It was Uncle Zhou.
Xia Pingan picked up the phone. "Hello, Uncle Zhou!"
"Director Mo said you drove a second-hand pickup truck to work today. It's a little shabby, so he asked me to clean it up for you. You're too stingy. If you take that second-hand pickup truck out for a spin and people find out, no summoner will be willing to join the Xianghe Committee of Order in the future. Ask the robot to send down the car keys. How do you want me to clean it up for you?"
Xia Pingan was a little embarrassed. "Uncle Zhou, I didn't think so much when I bought it. I just felt that the car was okay, so I bought it. Wait a moment, I'll ask the robot to send you the keys. You can do whatever you want!"
"That's more like it. Alright, don't worry. I'll fix it up for you!"
Xia Pingan didn't leave the office. He directly called a robot in and threw his car keys to the robot to send it down.
…
After a while, Xia Pingan's mood had completely calmed down. Only then did he take the metal box containing the Slave Soldier Realm Pearl and enter the cultivation room.
In the cultivation room, Xia Pingan opened the metal box and saw a realm pearl shining with a grey luster. The realm pearl was shrouded in grey fog, and four connected Xiaozhuan "holy texts" were faintly discernible.
— — Betrayal!
These were the words that Xia Pingan saw on the holy texts.
With one look, Xia Pingan understood why the realm pearl could summon slave soldiers. Mo Yanshao also said that the success rate of merging with the realm pearl was high.
The betrayal happened during the Battle of Muye. This battle took place at the end of the Shang Dynasty, which was the eleventh century BC. It was the final battle of King Wu of Zhou against King Zhou of Shang.
The exact date of the Battle of Muye was still debated by historians. However, it didn't affect the existence and historical significance of this battle.
King Zhou of Shang was muddle-headed and tyrannical. During the battle, the slave soldiers who were the vanguard of the Shang Dynasty betrayed the Shang Dynasty. This led to the collapse of the Shang Dynasty's army.
If he wanted to merge with the realm pearl, his role in the realm pearl was very likely to be the slave soldier who betrayed the Shang Dynasty. He should be able to complete the merging after a single battle.
Thinking of this, Xia Pingan turned the ring on his finger to reveal a silver needle. He pricked his finger with the needle and dripped two drops of blood onto the realm pearl.
After a while, Xia Pingan turned into a cocoon of light and entered the realm pearl.
…
The sun was shining brightly above his head. In Brother Chao City, Xia Pingan suddenly opened his eyes …
In front of him was a long line. The people in the line were dressed in ragged clothes. Everyone was huddled together in an empty space, mournful and numb. They were all looking at a ceremony in front of them.
Xia Pingan himself was also in the line in ragged clothes. He was also one of the slaves.
In front of the slaves, there were two rows of armored soldiers holding spears.
The ceremony was being held in an empty space. There were many construction materials piled up around the empty space. There were stones and wood. A few people in luxurious clothes gathered in the middle of the space, chatting and laughing softly.
Before Xia Pingan could figure out what was going on, there was a commotion in the crowd. Amidst the cries and shouts, Xia Pingan saw more than ten slaves tied up with leather straps being brought forward.
There were men and women, old and young. Half of the slaves were children under the age of ten. There were a total of six of them.
All of the slaves were strung together by ropes and brought forward by a group of soldiers …
The slaves who were tied up were pale. Their bodies were trembling in fear. They seemed to know what was going to happen next. They started to cry and scream.
Looking at the construction site in front of him and the slaves being brought forward, Xia Pingan suddenly thought of something. His expression changed slightly.
The empty space in front of him looked like a construction site. The slaves being brought forward at this time was definitely not a good thing.
Could it be … "laying the foundation"?
