Chapter 30
“Oh, hey, Mister Ling.”
Ji Ye returned and saw Ling Chen standing outside his door with a sad look. A small pile of cigarette stubs on the floor had told him that this man had been waiting there for some time.
“You finally came, Ji Ye…” Ling Chen forced up a spirited smile while looking at him with a pair of reddened eyes due to lack of sleep.
They knew each other well by then and would speak like friends, especially after that “serpent ecology lesson.”
Ling Chen was almost sure that the mysterious streamer was Ji Ye, so he went there to wait for him as soon as the stream ended, while assuming that Ji Ye would return as soon as the serpent had been dealt with.
He didn’t think he would have to wait for an entire night, though. And when Ji Ye didn’t show up as he expected, he became so anxious that he forgot how many cigs he had finished.
“Ji Ye, my friend, you finished that settlement mission, didn’t you?” Ling Chen asked eagerly as if the world depended on it.
“Huh? Well, yeah.” Ji Ye was a little surprised by the question, but still admitted it.
“You were using a crossbow, right?”
As expected, Sun Changsheng tried to lure Ji Ye to his side. And he looked sincere when making that offer.
As soon as he determined that Ji Ye was indeed the player who was doing the mission, he did some investigation and found all of Ji Ye’s personal information. Everything looked pretty good.
But Ji Ye’s answer didn’t come out as he expected.
“It’s fine, I don’t really need money. As for a place to live, I already own a multi-storied apartment downtown. It’s just that, I’ve been neglecting it for a while now. Can’t be helped since you know, duty calls.”
Sun Changsheng looked stumped, whereas Director Zhou almost laughed out loud.
Ji Ye was speaking the truth. His parents had left him enough money to spend freely for the rest of his life, as long as he didn’t lose his mind.
In fact, all the people in the room were aware that those who were selected to be players didn’t have problems with money. They could easily become the richest people in the world by selling the technologies they learned inside the Land of Inheritance. This was why the confederation prepared more ways to compensate players.
“Mister Ji, I thank you for the great deed you’ve done, which will undeniably benefit our nation,” Director Zhou claimed with a serious look. “The guidelines regarding an ‘Honor System’ will come out roughly in the next month, by which we will grant you Honor points accordingly.”
“Honor System?” Ji Ye raised an eyebrow.
Sun Changsheng explained this part, “Yes, we came up with the idea by copying the same Honor System inside the Land of Inheritance. Our experts are working to establish a comprehensive plan right now. Later, you’ll be able to use these Honor points to exchange for the assistance of specialists, or you can even borrow confidential intelligence to read, which is only available to some of the most important staff members in the office.” Sun Changsheng interrupted.
As the leader of the provincial government, he understood this better than Director Zhou.
