Chapter 42: You Didn’t Call Me For Merit?_1
The hall fell silent for a moment.
Xue Qiaoqiao turned off the game console.
Chu Qingwu put down the hand grip.
Even Old Master Zhou, who had an indifferent expression on his face, looked over in surprise.
Facing the probing gazes of the crowd.
Su Mo lightly replied,”
“I’ve been meditating on the Sword Dao for the past few days. I’ve made a breakthrough by luck.”
Unexpectedly, when he heard this, Zhang Zhenyu’s eyes turned red. He roared in disbelief,
“This is Tier 2! You’ve only been here for a few days and you’ve already broken through to Tier 2?!”
Xue Qiaoqiao was on the verge of tears, looking like she had been betrayed.
“Didn’t you say that we’ll be good-for-nothings together?
How can you improve so quickly?
It was not easy for me to get rid of the bottom position in the team.
How would he live in the future?
Can’t you play games with peace of mind?”
Old Master Zhou took a sip of tea. His eyes were filled with vicissitudes of life as he said emotionally,
“The last time I heard news of such a rapid breakthrough was from guardian Xu.
However, it still took him 25 days to break through to Tier 2.
How long has it been? Not even ten days?
If this news were to spread, it would definitely shock everyone.”
Chu Qingwu nodded and said,
“Even if it is compared to the wider range of extraordinary profession.
Break through to Tier 2 within ten days.
Without a doubt, they were all top geniuses with unlimited potential.
Not to mention the terrifying [sword saint].
If the other Transcendent squads knew about this…
The people who want to poach you can probably surround our entire building.”
“Don’t worry, everyone. I’m absolutely loyal to our Team Furong!”
Su Mo said righteously.
Xue Qiaoqiao pursed her lips.
“I remember that last time when that beautiful captain tried to poach you, you couldn’t bear to take your hand away.”
“Slander! This was definitely slander! How could a genius like me succumb to beauty?”
Su Mo then talked about things like [Women will only affect my sword drawing speed],[I sword saint don’t even read porno books],[I saved the pictures to appreciate art], and so on.
The air was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
At this moment, Xu Liushuang had finished reading the document.
He looked at Su Mo and said in surprise,”
“Tier 2 so quickly? This progress is quite good.”
“It’s all thanks to deacon Xu’s reminder that I gained a lot of inspiration from guardian Xu.”
“It seems that you are very appreciated by others.”
Xu Liushuang smiled and said,”
“guardian Xu isn’t someone that just anyone can order. Since you’ve taken a liking to it, why don’t you ask for advice when you have time in the future? This will be very beneficial to your advancement in the future.”
Su Mo nodded.
Xu Liushuang clapped her hands and said,
“Alright, go to the big conference room. There are tasks to be arranged later.”
As he spoke, he led the way.
After he left, Su Mo whispered to Xue Qiaoqiao,”
“deacon Xu doesn’t seem to be in a good mood today.”
“If it can be cured, then it will be called a monster.”
Xue Qiaoqiao also gossiped in a low voice,
“You should still remember the pile of void-splitting stone from before, right?
Later on, the truth had been found out. The spy who stole the void-splitting stone was the head of the Celestial Association Heaven Empyrean Wood Branch, Zhang Lie.
Back then, deacon Xu had called him to ask about the relevant issues. He did not expect him to be the spy himself.
This action was undoubtedly to remind the other party to escape.
Fortunately, there were more witnesses at the scene. Otherwise, deacon Xu would have been taken away for interrogation.
It was said that Zhang Lie not only stole the void-splitting stone, but also stole some other precious items.
It was to the point that even the [patroller] was about to come over.”
“patroller?”
“Yes, you can think of them as mobile combat troops.
They were mainly responsible for providing support to various cities, searching for evil cultivators, monitoring the internal affairs, and solving various supernatural incidents.
A patroller on duty had to be at least at the fourth step, and the captain could even reach the sixth step.
As for the head captain who led a mansion patroller, he was a big shot above level 7.
This time, there was a vice-captain patroller who was specially responsible for capturing the fleeing Zhang Lie.”
” Alright, it looks like this guy is done for,” Su Mo thought.” But he was just a Minister, so why did he suddenly betray him?”
“Who knows?”
Xue Qiaoqiao shrugged her shoulders and said indifferently,
“Since you dare to betray, you have to bear the price of betrayal. Do you really think that the patroller are all useless?”
“Whether it is to protect the reputation of the society or to kill the chicken to warn the monkeys, this traitor Zhang Lie must be taken down.”
Su Mo nodded slightly, clearly thinking of this as well.
They arrived at the big conference room on the third floor.
Only six of them sat in the empty meeting room.
The last time they had a meeting like this, they were discussing the matter of Blood Priest Yang Zhichao.
He wondered how the investigation of that guy’s whereabouts was going.
On the other hand, Wang Linglan seemed to have gotten used to living here.
However, no matter how rich her father was, he could afford the high protection fees.
She could not stay here forever and accept the protection of the Dawn Society.
Not to mention that the supernatural beings in the club were not bodyguards at all.
Her life here was no different from imprisonment.
Extraordinaires would not accommodate a young lady like her and protect her at all times.
It was already good enough to arrange a dormitory for her.
After all, no matter how stubborn Yang Zhichao was, he wouldn’t be stupid enough to barge into this place.
Su Mo collected his thoughts and looked at Xu Liushuang, who was hosting the meeting.
However, before the meeting, Xu Liushuang coughed lightly and said to everyone,”
“The society has already given a corresponding solution to the demon emperor’s arrival not long ago.
Other than sending the [patroller] to hunt down the traitors of Celestial Association.
The various rewards and compensation had also been decided.
Due to the vile nature of the demon emperor’s arrival, the impact was huge.
Therefore, the higher-ups decided that in addition to giving out the corresponding high bonuses.
He would also give all the participants third-class merits.
All the soldiers who sacrificed themselves would be given second-class merits and the title of martyrs.
In addition, because Su Mo and Xue Qiaoqiao were the ones who had discovered the door together, they had to be careful.
He had specially upgraded their merit points to second-class merit points.
The above rewards will be given out soon.
I’ll inform everyone first.”
When everyone heard this, they were instantly ecstatic.
Xue Qiaoqiao hugged Chu Qingwu, jumping and shouting happily,
“I actually made a second-class contribution!
That was a second-class merit!
I don’t even dare to think about it!”
Chu Qingwu replied helplessly,
“Can you understand the feelings of us who have achieved third-class merits?”
Zhang Zhenyu said with jealousy,”
“I’ve been the captain for several years, but I’ve never made a second-class contribution.”
Old Master Zhou also sighed with emotion.
“Wushang achieving second-class merit, this is really too rare.”
Su Mo sat on the chair and laughed.
Originally, he thought that the reward of a few thousand points for this incident would be amazing.
He didn’t expect that he would actually take out merit points as a reward!
Moreover, it was a second-class skill that was one grade higher!
He even had second-class merit.
Was first-class merit still far away?
Was the Lightless Sword still far away?
Dominate a tyrant below the seventh level?
Thinking of this, even Su Mo could not help but feel happy.
At this moment, the door of the meeting room suddenly opened.
Accompanied by a lazy voice from outside the door:
“Damn it, I was working my ass off outside, and you guys didn’t even call me when you were doing meritorious deeds?”
