After receiving Liu Ming's recommendation, two supernatural agents from the headquarters approached Jiang Yan and invited him to be the person in charge of Dachuan City. They also gave him generous conditions:
"Three ghost cigarettes, one ghost candle, one scapegoat, and one hundred kilograms of gold."
One hundred kilograms of gold?
Jiang Yan was shocked. He had told Liu Ming that he wanted several tons of gold, but he was just joking.
You must know that the current price of gold is about 500 yuan per gram, one kilogram of gold costs 500,000 yuan, and 100 kilograms of gold costs 50 million yuan...
He is now a college student. Even if he graduates with a doctorate, his average annual salary is only 500,000. He would have to work for a hundred years to earn so much gold.
It must be said that the remuneration offered by the headquarters made him a little excited.
But he soon calmed down, because he knew that these things were obtained by risking his life in supernatural events.
Moreover, I have only controlled one ghost so far. I can only live for two or three years at most before the ghost revives, and I don’t have that much time to enjoy it.
Thinking of this, Jiang Yan quickly came to his senses:
"No, these conditions are not enough for me to take such a big risk."
"Ah? Isn't this enough? The conditions at the headquarters are already generous enough!" Shi Hui said with a shocked look on his face, as if he didn't expect Jiang Yan to be so shameless.
As a supernatural agent, his annual gold quota is only 50 kilograms. The gold quota given to a city leader is 100 kilograms, which is already very high.
"Then what conditions do you want to impose?" Sister Xue asked.
In her eyes, completing the task is the first priority. As long as Jiang Yan's conditions are not outrageous, she can negotiate.
Seeing the other party taking the initiative to ask, Jiang Yan smiled. He knew that the initiative in the negotiation came to his side.
"I am a newbie in controlling ghosts. I am very inexperienced and very afraid of ghosts, so I must be given more supernatural items to protect my life:
Ten ghost cigarettes, three ghost candles, three scapegoats, and a ton of gold. There are also ways to control the second ghost. "
"A ton of gold! Are you crazy!" After hearing his request, Shi Hui was shocked and then immediately explained
"Do you know what a ton of gold is? Only the captain of the headquarters has an annual quota of one ton of gold, and the annual quota of alternate captains is only 300 kilograms. How dare you ask for a ton of gold?"
When Sister Xue heard his request, her frosty face couldn't help showing a look of embarrassment:
"Your requirements are beyond our ability to bear, and we cannot satisfy them. First of all, ghost candles and scapegoat dolls are strategic materials. In addition, the current production capacity of the headquarters is relatively low. A ghost candle and a scapegoat doll are already There is an upper limit, but ghost cigarettes can be increased to five for you.”
"As for the gold quota, I will go back and report to the headquarters. I should be able to give you 200 kilograms in the end. Don't think about how to control the second ghost. We will talk about it after you solve an A-level supernatural incident."
After saying this, Sister Xue's expression returned to coldness, as if this was her limit.
As the saying goes, a child who loves to cry gets candy.
Although Jiang Yan was a little regretful that there were no more ghost candles and scapegoats, he also knew that this was the other party's bottom line, and it would be rude to continue to ask for more.
He has thought a lot about the person in charge these days.
Nowadays, domestic paranormal activity has just begun to recover, the number of paranormal incidents is relatively small, and the job of the person in charge is relatively easy.
As the saying goes, the early bird catches the worm.
While supernatural events are not so frequent now, hoard more resources and strengthen yourself so that you can gain a foothold in the future.
When there is an outbreak of weirdness in the future, it is estimated that the city leaders will have to deal with supernatural incidents frequently, either the ghosts will be revived or they will be killed by the ghosts.
And now many things require the energy of the headquarters to be easily completed, such as the method of controlling the second ghost, first-hand supernatural files, various life-saving supernatural items, protection of family members, etc.
Therefore, Jiang Yan is not opposed to being the person in charge of Dachuan City now. The key is what conditions the headquarters can provide for him to work hard.
After all, money can make all the difference.
"Okay, I agree to these conditions, but I must first give me supernatural items and gold before I can take office." Jiang Yan decided.
"Ah? After the conditions are changed, they still need to be reviewed after being submitted to the headquarters. How can it be so fast!" Shi Hui said dissatisfied.
"Okay." But Sister Xue on the side agreed, took out a gold bag from the pocket of her windbreaker, counted the items inside and handed it over.
Seeing her hand over the supernatural item so decisively, Jiang Yan was a little surprised, but he took it without hesitation.
When taking the gold bag, he accidentally touched Sister Xue's hand.
The jade hand was delicate and smooth, but cold to the bone, as if it would be frozen to the point of unconsciousness if it was touched for a few more seconds.
Jiang Yan opened the gold bag and confirmed the contents.
Shi Hui on the side looked at Sister Xue in disbelief and said in surprise:
"Sister Xue, that's your supernatural item. Why did you give it to him?"
Sister Xue's face was still as cold as ice, as if she didn't care about this matter:
"It's okay. I'll just ask the headquarters for reimbursement later. It's just a matter of time. The priority is to complete the task."
After counting the contents of the gold bag, Jiang Yan nodded.
He looked at the iceberg beauty in front of him and felt a sense of awe in his heart.
This Sister Xue is obviously an upright and selfless person with a military-like temperament.
In the cruel supernatural world, there are very few such people. Because they tend to die quickly, but this does not prevent Jiang Yan from admiring her.
"Okay, I will take office immediately after the two hundred kilograms of gold arrive." He promised.
"The original one hundred kilograms of gold has been arranged for you. It is in the Dachuan City Bank and you can access it at any time." Sister Xue took out a black card and handed it to him. "The password is your birthday."
Jiang Yan was not surprised. After all, it was easy for the headquarters to find any information about him.
He took the black card unceremoniously, so that the card was very light, but Jiang Yan knew that it was very heavy.
There are not only one hundred kilograms of gold in it, but also the lives of ordinary people in Dachuan City.
"I will try my best to apply with the headquarters for the remaining 100 kilograms of gold quota, and it is estimated that it will be transferred to this account within a week." Sister Xue added.
"Okay, I like to talk to cheerful people. I also have to bring food to my roommates. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first." Jiang Yan took a deep look at Sister Xue, turned around and left.
The two stood there, watching his leaving figure quietly.
"This kid is too arrogant. Sister Xue, you shouldn't spoil him." Shi Hui said angrily.
Sister Xue was silent, looking at Jiang Yan's leaving back with a slight frown on her beautiful eyebrows, looking thoughtful.
On the way to the canteen, Jiang Yan smiled slightly as he looked at the black card in his hand.
With so much gold, he can do a lot of things he wants to do.
First, build a small gold box and seal the ghost TV. After all, the gold bag is too fragile.
Later, he would exchange some money to buy a remote house to store future ghosts and supernatural items. He was worried about letting the ghost TV continue to stay in his body.
Thinking in his mind, he arrived at the canteen before he knew it. While queuing, he saw a familiar figure and was a little surprised:
"Qi Xiu?"
In the team in front, a tall young man wearing heavy cotton clothes slowly turned around after hearing this.
After seeing his appearance, Jiang Yan's expression froze.
At this time, Qi Xiu's face was pale, his eyes were dark, and his eyes were as dull as a calf.
After seeing Jiang Yan, his eyes brightened a little, and the corners of his mouth turned up, revealing a stiff and weird smile...
