"Take it."
As he finished speaking, a can of steaming hot drink was thrown into the police car.
"Thank you, black tea flavor? I'd like coffee."
Touching the hot black tea drink, Lu Pingan complained.
I'm not really dissatisfied with the free drinks. It would be nice to have hot drinks from vending machines during this time.
But when I was supposed to be sleeping soundly in a warm quilt, I still felt a little uncomfortable staying in a police car on the street.
Xia Qin smiled and didn't say much. It was just a sudden idea to bring the other party out for hunting.
"Hold on, it's almost dawn. I'll treat you to breakfast later."
"Don't tempt me with breakfast. I'm not a child."
"Yes, yes, the child is not sixteen. Do you want my sister to help you order a children's meal at KGC later?"
Lu Pingan was a little helpless. Although it was a good thing to become younger, the other party seemed to really regard him as a precocious brat, which was quite depressing.
"How do you feel about your first day on duty?"
"It's quite subtle. It seems quite boring. I can't help you much. I can only watch from behind."
"Actually, more than 90% of the nights are like this. What we have to do is not to defeat the devil, but to prepare for a rainy day and disarm those unexploded bombs..."
Lu Ping'an rolled his eyes and didn't say much. He had seen through everything and didn't bother to explain anything.
Want to attract a virgin? Want to teach yourself a political lesson? I don’t know if the person is still there half a year later, so what’s the point.
And now, the reason why he is willing to waste his precious time playing games all night and follow the other party on patrol is because of the other party's promise.
"Okay, okay, little brother Lu Ping'an, you ask me to help you write a letter of recommendation and get extra points for internship. At least you need to really intern for a few nights to understand the work process of the grassroots secret keeper. Otherwise, you say I have interned with the Keeper of Secrets, and if the examiner randomly asks you for details, it will be over immediately."
This is the reason. Being a "first-level secret keeper" and "having practical experience" are both bonus points for the special college entrance examination.
"By the way, just give me three thousand a night. Is it very profitable to be a professional secret keeper?"
"That's not true. You also know that there are only three people in our group. The higher-ups give us money to pay the bills and let us hire some temporary helpers... Okay, I know you don't want to hear this. Professional secret keepers are very Earn, the average salary is more than ten times that of ordinary people.”
This was the main reason why Lu Ping'an was forced to submit. He was very, very short of money.
"760,000? Gu, kill me."
Lu Pingping could only accept it when he thought of the bill that had just been delivered to him.
He finally found the biggest similarity between the two worlds, which is the very expensive medical expenses.
"Stop making trouble, your life is not worth so much."
Although when he called last night, he promised his parents in his hometown that he could take care of all the debts at home.
But in a short period of time, I really can't handle it.
"Didn't you say that the relevant departments could help me get rid of the loan sharks?"
The other side of high-threat targets being supervised by relevant departments is that someone will help them avoid some too troublesome encounters.
A super "unexploded bomb" has no ability to lose control without being tempted by evil gods. If he loses control due to bullies, bullies, loan sharks and other bullshit, it will really make people want to cry.
"Our logistics and accounting departments are professional. You still want to keep your parents' house. The 760,000 yuan is the result of squeezing out those messy things. If it hadn't been more than 3 million yuan... now help If you get it like a 'mortgage', it's more than 6,000 a month, and it can be settled in 20 years, which is already the optimal solution. If you get the license and work hard, you can pay it off in three or four years."
It is now 1998, and a small million is really not a small number. There is still more for a house in the city.
Lu Pingan sighed helplessly, and the other time-travelers survived the catastrophe and awakened to cheat all the way.
I have been saddled with a large amount of debt since I came up, which is really bad.
But Lu Ping'an also knows that this is the current optimal solution.
This is equivalent to the "officials" coming forward to pay off and buy out their messy debts worth millions, and then only need to pay back the legal and minimum part.
The disadvantage is that I owe the "official" money, and it is impossible to think otherwise.
"Can it be turned into a 40-year loan? Sixty-year is better."
But six thousand a month is still more than the limit. The average salary in the ancient city is less than two thousand. It is impossible to repay the debt with a regular job.
"...Don't go too far. Do you really want to buy a house? This is the best solution I can help you get."
Xia Qin was angry and funny. Is it really a simple matter for this guy to forcefully buy out his debts just because the Alien Management Bureau came forward? You really owe money, and other people's money is also real money.
I ran for two and a half days just to do this. I visited several departments, beat up a few bastards, and owed favors.
"Tsk, I have no imagination. You have never seen a real super mortgage, the kind where the family has to pay back two hundred years..."
Although he said those words that no one could understand, Lu Pingan actually also remembered this favor.
With two lifetimes of experience, he knows that the rule is that the dead are alive. Xia Qin can just deal with business and leave this mess to herself.
"After you enter the Ancient City Secret Arts Academy, you will be a quasi-secret keeper. You will also receive subsidies and settlement allowance, which will be enough for you to repay the loan in the first two years. If you want to pay off your debts as soon as possible, you can take the professional qualification exam during your freshman year. You can go out and pick up commissions, but it’s just a little bit difficult.”
Speaking of the "arrangement" she had prepared for him, Xia Qin closed the car door, turned on the police car's car radio, and headed to the next mission point.
She really planned to take Lu Ping An "on the road" as soon as possible, but recently due to the shortage of personnel, the task load was a bit heavy, and overtime work became the norm.
So, she simply took him out to help him make up for his troubles a little bit, so that she could observe him closely.
No matter how much experience and books say, it is better to fight once. No matter how gorgeous the words are, it is better to be a comrade-in-arms.
The reason is also very straightforward. The ancient city's assessment has practical items every year.
Although it is basically impossible for Lu Ping'an to pass the level now... But we can see how far he has reached, how much he can improve in these short twenty days, and what level of transformation he can achieve from a mere mortal. , is the answer Xia Qin really expects.
She knew that Lu Pingan was pretending to be good and hiding things, and Lu Pingan also knew that she knew.
Both parties who are not familiar with each other are still in the running-in period, and keeping a certain distance is also a kind of friendliness.
"Small, you are still too young. How can I see what you are really hiding without forcing you."
So, while driving, Ms. Xia smiled triumphantly.
But don't mention it, after this night passed, Lu Ping'an became more and more clear about the so-called secret keeper career.
The special operations team under the Anomaly Management Bureau is not like the superheroes he had imagined before, but an upgraded version of the special police.
There are a lot of anomalies in this world, coupled with ordinary security incidents, it is unrealistic for these special service teams to patrol everywhere as police officers.
In most cases, ordinary police officers carry specialized pollution detection equipment while performing their official duties.
But if they encounter trouble that they can't handle, the official term is "a pollution incident of level 2 or above."
At that time, you can contact the special service team on duty and invite professionals to handle and suppress it.
However, due to the incident more than ten days ago, three of the seven special service teams in Zion District were almost disbanded, leaving a serious shortage of manpower.
When there are fewer people, there are more things to do. The radio station rings once a night during the cut-off time.
Not all pollution incidents will reach the level of the secret realm. According to Xia Qin, if it involves the secret realm, it will be at least a level four pollution incident, and you will not encounter it once in several months.
The secret realm also involves quasi-gods, and she has experienced it only once, starting from the direct top-level pollution incident.
In her daily life, she still deals with some first-level "pollutant individuals" and second-level "polluter individuals" to avoid the escalation of pollution incidents.
To put it bluntly, in one night she took over three contaminated items from the police, defeated a gang involving superpowers, handled two superpower robberies, and helped the police handle several seemingly "ordinary" cases. "Security incident.
Regardless of that era, people who have just awakened to supernatural powers are often prone to self-aggrandizement. Iron fist sanctions are effective and must be timely.
"Fighting from the north of the city to the south of the city, she is indeed a real fierce woman whose talents are focused on fighting. She demolished the gang building against a dozen gunmen and swordsmen..."
Lu Ping'an also knew where the fighting experience and pistol experience from her abilities came from. She beat up at least dozens of unlucky guys in one night.
But the most outrageous thing was that she said it was easier today.
"Damn, this world seems a little uneven..."
Along the way, Lu Pingan also saw the fighting style of real professionals.
One person, two fists, a pistol, and a pair of long legs can conquer everything.
The superhumans who fought against her also used all kinds of random abilities, but their legs were broken simply and directly.
Quick movement, instant decisive processing ability, and then a close blow or a shot can solve the problem.
"From the beginning to the end, she didn't use magic (supernatural ability)...but she probably used a sword. That was obviously her main method."
This is the most puzzling thing about Lu Pingping. Xia Qin has two weapons, a dark red custom-made pistol and a cabbage sword staff.
As far as Lu Ping'an knew, Xia Qin took the swordsman and fighter paths at the same time, and only the swordsman path reached the second level... She never drew her sword from the beginning to the end!
No, considering the feedback experience these days, there is no swordsmanship, I'm afraid she hasn't drawn her sword this week.
At this moment, Lu Pingan knew that the supernatural world might not be as simple as he imagined.
There seems to be a huge difference between secret keepers of the same level. At least the one he saw who was suspected to be a second-level wild ability user was instantly killed in front of Xia Qin, an official second-level person.
Seeing Captain Xia being so fierce, Lu Pingan also knew why she had the confidence to "subsidize" herself with the money from hiring helpers.
Suddenly, Xia Qin frowned and picked up the intercom.
"Patrol car 116, patrol car 117, patrol car 200, please call back if you hear me. You have not had regular contact for three hours."
But on the other end of the intercom, there was still only noise.
problem occurs.
Xia Qin hung up the police lights without hesitation and turned on the positioning facility.
As soon as he arrived there, Lu Pingan took a breath of cold air.
It was already half past six in the morning, and the dawn light shone down, but it made people feel chilly.
The windows of the three police cars were all open, but there were only large expanses of red inside.
The red color directly covered the ground at the intersection.
And their owners were pieced together and became the "signal light" in the center of the road.
Xia Qin's face turned ugly, and she stared at the bloody graffiti on the ground.
Under the "signal light", a bloody graffiti villain, a faceless villain with a "?" mask, is opening his arms, as if he is saying something.
"...Sophist."
The whisper was full of anger, and the calm arm was holding the cane and making a clicking sound.
This was the first time Lu Pingan saw Xia Qin so angry, but at this time, an unexpected voice sounded in his ears.
"Have a safe trip, we need to talk."
That big cat?
At this time, Lu Ping'an noticed that the "flesh and blood statue" that had been pieced together looked a little familiar.
It is not a "sculpture" that is randomly pieced together. It has roots, branches, and leaves composed of "components."
In that deadly secret realm, he had seen this one, but it was made of the living corpses of the secret keeper, and it was even better.
"...Tree of Life? Mother Goddess?"
So, it was Chris who caused trouble?
"Ping'an Lu, don't you want to know which path is best for you? I can tell you."
