Chapter 082: World Four [4-1]
Ling Yilin had no thoughts on Meng Jiuge becoming Yan Zhiming’s disciple. Although her cultivation was a little low, in the human world, Yan Zhiming’s late-stage Foundation Establishment was enough.
The Xiaoyao Sect only had a few cats and dogs. Meng Jiuge didn’t have to worry about her talent being envied. After joining, she would probably get along very well with her two senior sisters.
Wait, why was she worrying about Meng Jiuge’s affairs? Sleep, sleep. The protagonist’s affairs were for the world consciousness to worry about.
**
Ling Yilin could guarantee that she really did not have the hobby of stalking Meng Jiuge. It was just that she was maintaining the habit of a great demon, just wandering around and eating every day.
You say cultivation? Please, what was there for a great demon who had lived until now to cultivate? Most of their cultivation was at the Golden Core stage or above. Unless they were ambushed like that demon who was now called Xiao Bai, or voluntarily underwent military dissolution, the probability of them falling was extremely low.
Dying in a normal battle? The probability of this happening was not high. The great demons who were still alive now basically did not have such a heavy killing intent. Taking a step back, if two Golden Core stage great demons were to really fight to the death, the Administration would probably be the first to be anxious.
After all, the power of a Golden Core cultivator’s self-destruction could level several mountains. The Administration did not want to clean up this kind of mess at all.
Ling Yilin checked the balance on her bank card and found that the Administration would deposit a post-tax salary of twenty-five thousand a month in the name of a salary, and there were also many bonuses during the holidays.
In total, her income from lying flat for a year was about four hundred thousand. The salary amount in the first few years was slightly different, but after accumulating for more than ten years, the balance in her card was about five million. Without buying a house, this salary was enough for a person’s daily consumption.
Back to the main topic. Ling Yilin was quite interested in houses, so she took out a large piece of gold from her space, planning to go to the Administration to exchange for some cash.
Compared to a great demon taking strange things to exchange for money outside, the Administration was very happy to help a great demon solve this kind of small trouble. Doing so could probabilistically get good materials for making magic weapons.
“Senior Ling, this piece of gold contains a little bit of spiritual power, so the price we can offer is better than the recycling price of a gold shop outside. If you are sure you want to sell it, I will have the finance department transfer two million three hundred thousand to your account.”
The one who was in charge of receiving Ling Yilin was the office director of the A City branch of the Administration, a person who, although only at the mid-stage of Qi Condensation, was very good at the art of language.
“Yes, then let’s exchange it for money,” Ling Yilin’s tone was casual, her gaze falling on the person who had just walked through the main entrance.
In just three days, Meng Jiuge had gone from an ordinary person to a cultivator who had successfully condensed qi. As expected of a person who was chosen by the world consciousness as the protagonist and was treated as a delicious little snack by the demons, her cultivation talent was indeed unique.
“Is that a newcomer to your bureau?” Ling Yilin asked casually, picking up the signing pen on the table and starting to fiddle with it out of boredom.
The office director glanced at the entrance, the smile on his face unchanged. “Yes, this is the little disciple that our bureau chief has just accepted. You should have seen her before, Senior Ling, right? It was you who saved Little Meng from the ghost.”
“It was just a casual act,” Ling Yilin switched hands and fiddled with the signing pen. “I heard that after completing the missions issued by your Administration, you can get a very generous reward?”
“Yes. After completing the missions we issue, you can get a cash reward and contribution points. Contribution points can be exchanged for the treasures in our Administration’s warehouse,” the office director used an exaggerated tone and at the same time, lowered his voice.
“Senior Ling, to be honest with you, our Administration has a very thick foundation. I heard that there are even treasures containing the bloodline of a divine beast, which can help our demon race seniors purify their bloodline.”
“Hmm?” Ling Yilin stopped her action of fiddling with the pen and looked at the office director.
The office director showed a simple and honest smile. “If you are interested, Senior, why don’t you download an internal app of our Administration? You are so powerful, Senior. You only need to complete a few A-level missions to get all the exchange permissions.”
Generally speaking, the cultivators who joined the Administration had to complete the corresponding indicators, a pile of internal software, and the learning tasks of the designated courseware.
But the rules were more for restraining ordinary people, not for a strong person like Ling Yilin, so she was an exception.
“How?” Ling Yilin did not refuse. She needed to maintain a relatively good relationship with the protagonist, at least to let the other party recognize her existence as a senior.
The office director took out a QR code and was ready to teach her step by step. Many of the thousand-year-old great demons liked to stay at home. They were usually not familiar with advanced equipment…
Hmm? She didn’t need him to teach her at all? Registration and login in one go? Wasn’t this action a little too smooth?
It seemed that some stereotypes had to be changed. A great demon who was unwilling to go out might also be playing on her phone and computer at home, the office director muttered in his heart.
The internal app of the Administration was quite interesting. Probably to be fair, the icon did not have any fancy patterns, just a map of China’s territory.
After logging in, Ling Yilin could see her personal interface. She was using the default profile picture, but there was a golden profile picture frame.
“Senior, this is what we use to distinguish the levels of cultivators. The Qi Condensation stage is bronze, the Foundation Establishment stage is silver, and a powerful senior like you is naturally gold,” the office director said, and also explained the subsequent levels.
Ling Yilin’s strength was beyond doubt, so her initial permission level was high. She only needed to save a thousand contribution points to be at the highest unlimited level.
“Senior, because you are still a pure novice in doing missions, the Administration will assign a staff member to accompany you when you take on a mission for the first time. During this period, if you have anything you don’t understand, you can choose to ask the accompanying staff,” the office director said with a beaming smile.
The headquarters of the Administration was in the capital. Under the capital, each province and municipality would have one or two Administration branches, a total of thirty-six branches.
The one stationed in A City was the twelfth branch. Strictly speaking, the entire jurisdiction was the entire southern province, so the accumulated missions were quite a lot, and there were many difficult missions that no one was willing to take on.
If contribution points and cash could attract a strong person like Ling Yilin to work for the twelfth branch, that would be a great thing for the Administration.
“Do I have to have someone with me?” Ling Yilin asked, throwing the signing pen back into the pen holder.
“Senior, this is the most basic rule. It was set by the headquarters and has been implemented for many years,” the office director did not directly refuse, but described it in a roundabout way.
“Actually, I also feel that this rule is a bit unnecessary for you, senior, but the rule is just like that. We don’t have the authority to change it.”
Ling Yilin’s eyebrow arched slightly, and her already heroic eyebrows looked extremely aggressive. After looking at her for five seconds, the office director couldn’t hold on and moved his gaze away.
“I can abide by this rule, but I want to designate a person to be my accompanying staff,” Ling Yilin said.
“May I ask who you need to accompany you, senior?” the office director asked, a possibility flashing through his mind.
“Meng Jiuge, the little disciple that your bureau chief has just accepted. You said that I saved her life. Then it shouldn’t be a problem for me to have her serve me, right?”
Ling Yilin said with a smile. It didn’t sound like there was any threat, but the office director could see that if he were to directly refuse, he would most likely have to suffer a little.
“This, I need to discuss it with the bureau chief and arrange a time…” The office director did not dare to directly refuse.
“Then you can just call now,” Ling Yilin crossed her arms and leaned against the chair. “Her master is Yan Zhiming. You should have her contact information, right? I’ll give you five minutes. I don’t like to wait.”
The smile on the office director’s face became forced. Five minutes, what was the difference between this and forcing him to directly agree!
“Okay, please wait a moment, senior,” the office director took his phone and left, and went to make a call with a long face.
No matter how eloquent she was, she couldn’t stand the other party’s strength. With strength, you could do whatever you wanted!

“Hmm? You want my little disciple to go with you?” Yan Zhiming did not have the habit of hanging up on her subordinates. She answered the phone after seeing the call from her subordinate. “Why don’t we coordinate and let Simin go? Although Xiao Ge’s talent is good, she has just started and doesn’t know anything yet.”
The office director quickened his speech and directly told her about Ling Yilin’s performance and attitude.
“In that case, I’ll give Xiao Ge a call. You go and appease Senior Ling. Whether she refuses or agrees in the end, Xiao Ge will come over and explain in person,” Yan Zhiming said.
After hanging up the call with the office director, Yan Zhiming dialed her little disciple’s number from memory and briefly summarized the course of events.
“The great demons who have lived until now all have strange personalities. You just have to remember one thing: don’t play tricks in front of her. These existences who have lived for so long have seen everything,” Yan Zhiming reminded, leaving the choice to Meng Jiuge herself.
Meng Jiuge now knew Ling Yilin’s identity, a great demon with the bloodline of the divine beast White Tiger. Her combat power was very strong. Her own master was no match for her, and there was no one in the entire A City Administration who could beat her.
To be honest, only the few who were in charge of the headquarters could fight with Ling Yilin.
However, from the looks of it now, the other party was still relatively law-abiding. After being ambushed and injured some time ago, she did not show the thought of “I want to get revenge on the whole world,” but only said that she had already gotten her revenge.
After a few thoughts flashed through her mind, Meng Jiuge made a decision and walked towards the VIP reception room.
“Senior Ling, I heard that you were looking for me,” Meng Jiuge appeared in front of Ling Yilin, her eyes curved, and her smile very bright. “May I ask if there is anything I can do for you, senior?”
“Accompany me on a mission,” Ling Yilin said and handed her phone to Meng Jiuge. “I’ve picked two missions. You can choose one of them.”
Meng Jiuge was stunned for a moment. After taking the phone, she saw the two missions that were in the favorites.
The first mission was to find out the truth of the pen fairy incident at A University and carry out the corresponding follow-up work.
The second mission was to enter a tomb that had been half-excavated, investigate the tomb, and draw a corresponding map.
The difficulty of the former was C, and the latter was B. The difficulty was a whole level apart, and the reward was also fifty contribution points apart.
“Senior, can I choose the first mission?” Meng Jiuge remembered her master’s reminder, so she did not play any tricks in front of Ling Yilin. “To be honest, I applied for A University. I can be considered a prospective freshman of A University. If the problem of A University is not solved, I probably won’t be able to sleep.”
“Is that so?” Ling Yilin smiled, looking very satisfied with Meng Jiuge’s choice. “Then let’s choose the first one. Let’s go and investigate what the pen fairy is.”
