"B-level Ability User and Qi Cultivation Stage Cultivator," Lin Feng quickly scanned their information, seeing the prompts above the two people.
He gripped his scythe, coldly eyeing the pair.
"Friend, my name is Kuang Lei, and this is my colleague Jing Feng. May I ask how you'd like to be addressed?" The man politely introduced himself to Lin Feng.
They had been patrolling earlier when they happened to witness Lin Feng slaughtering void ghosts.
His methods were clean and efficient, seemingly involving spatial abilities.
So they hurried over to take a look.
"My name is..." Lin Feng pondered, thinking he should use an alias.
"I'm called Wolf..." Lin Feng hesitated before saying.
For some reason, his brother's online name came to mind at that moment.
"Ah, so it's Wolf Friend. My apologies for the oversight," Jing Feng bowed respectfully.
As a disciple sent down from his sect, he was more courteous in his manners.
"Wolf Friend? Could Brother Wolf have chosen this name with that meaning in mind?"
Lin Feng, prompted by Jing Feng's remark, seemed to realize something. He made a mental note to choose a different name next time.
"I wonder, has Wolf Friend registered his information yet? Don't misunderstand, we're from the Paranormal Affairs Bureau under the National Security Department. We're responsible for patrolling and monitoring this area.
If we discover any special circumstances, we need to record and report them," Jing Feng explained.
"You mean to keep me under surveillance?" Lin Feng had read enough novels to be familiar with certain plot devices.
"Wolf Friend misunderstands. It's merely routine registration. Once registered, you'll receive monthly financial subsidies and various special privileges..."
Kuang Lei, seeing Jing Feng's explanation dragging on, couldn't help but interject.
If Lin Feng truly was a spatial ability user, the rewards they'd receive for discovering and registering him would be substantial.
After all, even powerful individuals need to make a living and support their families.
"Oh? How much is the subsidy?" Lin Feng asked with interest.
He had never interacted with the Paranormal Affairs Bureau before, but these two seemed approachable enough. It was a good opportunity to learn more.
"We'd need to test and determine your ability level. C-level receives an extra 50,000 yuan monthly, B-level 100,000, A-level 200,000... Besides that, there are people specifically assigned to care for your daily needs, and your family members can enjoy special benefits as well..."
(Note: I've compressed the figures somewhat, otherwise it might just turn into a list of numbers...)
"Of course, there are also tasks issued regularly. Completing these tasks earns additional rewards..."
Kuang Lei briefly explained the benefits to Lin Feng, giving him a general understanding of the perks.
He had been observing Lin Feng for a while but still couldn't detect any unusual ability fluctuations or determine his strength.
It was rather peculiar.
That eerie large scythe, along with the skull mask on his face.
All indicated that this man's abilities were far from ordinary.
If they could recruit him, their year-end bonus would surely be substantial.
Ability users were still mortal, after all, and needed to make a living.
They had families to support too.
"We can discuss registration another time. I have some matters to attend to. Until we meet again..."
With that, Lin Feng vanished in an instant.
His abilities were somewhat unique. He didn't need those subsidies and didn't want to be monitored.
Although the terms offered were appealing, there would clearly be many unavoidable tasks later on. How could they nurture someone for free?
If it was just assisting in ghost hunting, he wouldn't mind.
After all, his current leveling up relied entirely on hunting ghosts!
"This guy, is his spatial movement ability really that strong?!"
Kuang Lei exclaimed, staring at the spot where Lin Feng had suddenly disappeared.
They had heard about the terrifying nature of spatial abilities before.
Many years ago, there had been a powerful spatial ability user.
This person's spatial abilities were so formidable.
Relying on special spatial ability combinations, they could execute instant kill tactics.
Their mastery of space-time techniques was unparalleled, and no one dared to confront them head-on.
With their unpredictable techniques, no one knew when they might appear behind you.
Jing Feng was also somewhat familiar with this incident.
They had seen the battle footage before. That senior moved like a streak of golden light.
Wherever the golden light passed, everything crumbled like dead leaves in its wake.
"We should report this man's information as soon as possible. Although he's unwilling to register, the appearance of a spatial ability user requires careful handling..." Kuang Lei said.
"Another spatial ability user has appeared. I should inform the sect about this as well," Jing Feng thought to himself.
Cultivators and ability users were still in a competitive relationship.
Both sides were seeking an appropriate balance point.
...
Back home
It was already 4 AM
He checked the update reminders from Green War God, there were 13 of them.
Besides Wolf Slayer, there were two more 5-star reviews.
"Hmm, keep it up."
Lin Feng began typing away at his keyboard again.
"As that green light flashed brilliantly... darting off into the distance
Lin Yuhan was shocked. How could he be so strong, so green..."
By the time he finished writing, it was already 6 AM. He had experienced some writer's block today. The "green" theme lacked fresh ideas.
...
Meanwhile
Ye Chuyin had already woken up in her hotel room, sipping some milk tea while reading the latest chapter.
She was dressed rather scantily, with just a few strips of fabric covering the essential areas.
If she were at home, she wouldn't even bother with those strips of cloth.
This hotel was arranged by Xiang Hui, so privacy and security were naturally not an issue.
Her long legs were propped up on the sofa, her body elegantly reclined in a rocking chair.
Her left hand twirled her hair, idly braiding it.
"It's getting greener and greener, but I like it,"
Ye Chuyin said, looking at her phone.
The car Lin Feng drove had a moderate speed. It was very suitable for innocent passengers like her.
This was also why she kept following the story.
"Knock knock knock knock"
Her phone's video call ringtone sounded.
"Xue Chengyue"
Ye Chuyin casually answered the video call.
"Leng Leng, are you awake?"
"Isn't that a stupid question? If I wasn't awake, how could I answer your video call? If you have something to say, say it quickly. Don't waste my novel-reading time," Ye Chuyin replied impatiently.
"Leng Leng, I just saw your brother post on his Moments. It's a woman.
Quick, help me find out what's going on,"
Xue Chengyue looked anxious.
"Hm? My brother finally opened his eyes? I need to see what this woman looks like, to have captured his heart,"
Ye Chuyin opened a profile with a black avatar called "Day Doesn't Understand Night's Black."
Sure enough, there was a photo posted just 5 minutes ago.
This woman, I have to say, while her figure might not be as good as Xue Chengyue's.
But those fiery red lips were quite sexy.
"Ye Hei, what's the deal with your Moments post?"
Ye Chuyin sent a WeChat message directly.
The reply came instantly.
"Little sis, congratulations, you have a new sister-in-law!" Ye Hei replied with a big laughing face emoji.
Ye Chuyin paused for a moment.
"Leng Leng, did you find out anything?" Seeing Ye Chuyin's hesitation, Xue Chengyue quickly asked.
"Sigh, Chengyue, congratulations, you have a sister-in-law now,"
"Huh?" Xue Chengyue looked bewildered, why congratulate me...
"That's your sister-in-law, not mine!"
"No, I should be the one to become your sister-in-law..."
