Cherie leaned beside Lin Luo, a playful smile on her face, and joy flickered in her sky-blue eyes.
“I’m currently completing your consultation, so I’m still working!”
Alright, so that’s how it was.
Lin Luo slowly nodded, expressing his approval.
And after Lin Luo and Cherie left, a skinny Abnormality with long, pale horns on its head, having taken in the scene, walked up to the consultation desk.
“Hello, I really can’t see any hope for the future.
As an Ordinary Level Abnormality, I can’t find any work at all.
And I can’t save up any gray coin, can you please help me?”
The beautiful Abnormality in front of him withdrew her gaze from Lin Luo, sized him up, and said coldly.
“This is the Affairs Office, if you don’t have any business, don’t loiter around here!”
The skinny Abnormality was stunned and said anxiously: “But I do have business!
I need to find a job, even if it’s just for a little bit of gray coin…”
However, the beautiful Abnormality behind the consultation desk had already lowered her head and ignored him.
An Ordinary Level Abnormality passing by scoffed, “Your life is only worth 200 gray coin, and you still want to find a job?”
...
“Ding! Congratulations on completing the mission! You have received 50 gray coin, 0.1 Spooky Power, and Debra Cherie’s favorability +10.”
After leaving the registration office, Lin Luo pulled Cherie, who was clinging to him, away and said seriously.
“Alright, my consultation is over, I won’t bother you anymore.”
Cherie maintained her smile and said sweetly, “Goodbye, Mr. Lin Luo!”
For Cherie, showing a close relationship with a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality naturally had various benefits.
However, this newly promoted Dangerous-Grade Abnormality was filled with worry.
Tomorrow was the Adaptation Officer examination, and the scope of the examination was unknown.
He hadn’t managed to get any useful information.
He only knew that he had to gather at a small plaza in the eastern part of Deluo City at 8 AM tomorrow.
He had a premonition that this so-called Adaptation Officer examination might just be a facade.
Beneath this facade, perhaps the true operating rules of this world were hidden.
Because killing a Harmless Grade Abnormality required paying 200 gray coin to the Enforcement Team.
Killing a Plain-Class Abnormality required paying 20,000 gray coin to the Enforcement Team.
However, it seemed there was no mention of how much gray coin was required to kill a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality.
And previously, after Wei Weisi discovered that he was a Dangerous-Grade Abnormality, his attitude completely changed.
His gaze shifted from looking at an insect to looking at an equal.
After all, he hadn’t been in this world for long, and Lin Luo wasn’t clear on a lot of information.
He thought for a moment and decided to take a bus to find Mr. Wei Weisi.
He got off the bus and saw Mr. Wei Weisi’s house from a distance.
In his mind, however, the shadow of that bitter ink appeared, and his originally light steps gradually became heavy.
“Forget it, I’m already here!”
This time, Lin Luo’s knock on the door was very gentle, and soon a voice with an echo sounded.
“Coming, coming!”
Looking at the pink large octopus in front of him, Lin Luo showed a gentle smile.
“Mr. Wei Weisi, hello.”
“It’s Lin Luo!” Wei Weisi placed a pink tentacle on Lin Luo’s shoulder, and another tentacle closed the door.
“My friend, I didn’t expect you to come see me again so soon, are you still thinking about my bitter ink?”
bitter ink...
Lin Luo’s mouth twitched; he really couldn’t understand why this large octopus couldn’t stop talking about bitter ink.
Wei Weisi didn’t notice Lin Luo’s expression; he led Lin Luo to the living room and skillfully took out two cups.
“Have you already discovered the effect of bitter ink?
Drinking bitter ink can slightly increase the purity of Spooky Power; I’ve earned quite a lot of gray coin by relying on the secret recipe for brewing bitter ink.”
Increase the purity of Spooky Power?
Lin Luo was stunned; he didn’t feel any change in his Spooky Power?
But these weren’t very important anymore; Lin Luo sat down on a chair and asked.
“It’s like this, Mr. Wei Weisi, actually, I came this time because I have some questions I want to ask you.”
Skillfully filling two cups with bitter ink, Wei Weisi said generously.
“Lin Luo, you are my friend, feel free to ask any questions!
Oh, and from now on, just call me Wei Weisi!”
For some reason, he found Lin Luo very pleasing to the eye, otherwise how could he entertain him with bitter ink for free?
Apparently, this was the effect of favorability; a favorability of 30 was already enough for Wei Weisi to consider Lin Luo a friend.
As for Kaili Ni, whom Lin Luo encountered before, that was completely an exception; although his favorability was as high as 70, he was intent on staying away from Lin Luo.
“It’s like this, I want to ask some questions about the Adaptation Officer examination, Wei Weisi, have you participated in the Adaptation Officer examination?”
Upon hearing Lin Luo mention the Adaptation Officer examination, Wei Weisi clearly became excited.
“Of course, I’ve already passed the first Adaptation Officer examination and have a proper position!
Otherwise, how could I stay at home all day?
The Adaptation Officer examination is very important for us!”
He spoke, his enthusiasm growing.
“Lin Luo, because of certain reasons, I cannot disclose the detailed contents of this Adaptation Officer examination to you.
Moreover, the content of each examination is different.
But I can tell you, ultimately, in the examination, your strength is the most important thing!”
Strength?
Lin Luo looked thoughtful, slowly nodding.
“This strength doesn’t just refer to your Spooky Power value; financial resources are also a type of strength!”
Hearing him say that, Lin Luo couldn’t help but ask, “Are you saying I can bribe the examiner?”
Wei Weisi burst into laughter and didn’t stop until a long time later.
“How could that be? What are you thinking? When I said financial resources, I wasn’t referring to bribing the examiner!”
Looking at Lin Luo in front of him, he remembered his own ignorant appearance before he participated in the Adaptation Officer examination, which was exactly like Lin Luo.
“Let me think, about 5000 gray coin should be enough!”
Wei Weisi’s body flickered, turning into a pink light and shadow, and finally solidifying again.
He extended a tentacle and handed ten gray coins with a face value of 500 to Lin Luo.
“When you displayed your Spooky Power earlier, I knew you were a newly promoted Dangerous Grade.
Your previous savings must have all been used to break through to Dangerous Grade, right?
So you definitely can’t come up with that much gray coin in a short time, right?
Here’s 5000 gray coin; I’ll lend it to you first, and you can just pay me back later!”
There were many businesses in Deluo City, and with the strength of a Dangerous Grade, as long as it didn’t involve a formal position, it was still possible to find a very good job.
For Lin Luo, working hard for a month and earning a Moon Salary of 5000 gray coin was still very simple.
So Wei Weisi wasn’t worried about him not being able to repay the 5000 gray coin.
Lin Luo looked at the 5000 gray coin next to him, remembering Wei Weisi’s previous remark about financial resources being very important,
And considering that he indeed didn’t have enough gray coin on hand temporarily, he didn’t decline.
After all, it was the annual Adaptation Officer examination, and careful preparation was needed.
“Thanks, after I complete the Adaptation Officer examination, this 5000 gray coin will be returned to you, not a single coin less.”
Lin Luo accepted the gray coin, and Wei Weisi, in turn, poured him a cup of bitter ink.
“It’s just 5000 gray coin; after you pass the Adaptation Officer examination, this gray coin won’t be considered much.
Remember what I just said? Strength is very important!
So you should drink as much bitter ink as you can later, to maximize its effect of purifying Spooky Power!”
