Deng Wang was overjoyed when he saw Gu Ning. He walked to Gu Ning excitedly and held his hand, “It’s really you. I’ve been looking for you for a long time!”
Deng Wang was not lying. He had indeed been looking for Gu Ning for a long time! He had been to all the high schools in the area!
Gu Ning never expected Deng Wang to say something like this. “I’m just a passing high school student. Why would he try so hard to find me!?”
Deng Wang shook hands with Gu Ning excitedly, which made Gu Ning feel awkward as if they had once fought together in a world war.
Gu Ning could only smile and reply, “Haha, hello, hello. There were too many people last time, so I didn’t want to reveal my identity.”
Gu Ning and Deng Wang’s actions also confused the principal. What was going on?
How could any student in his school be related to the slayer himself?
Could someone in Gu Ning’s family be a high-ranking member of the exterminators, so they sent people in to look out for him?
When Deng Wang came to the principal, Rex, he had only asked for all the students’ records for an investigation.
At that time, Rex had thought that it was just a routine check. However, as soon as he took out the file, Gu Ning, who had been summoned, showed up.
Deng Wang, who was holding Gu Ning’s hand, was still excited. He kept saying, “It was all thanks to you that we killed the grade-C mutated familiar! We saved the whole city!
“When we were facing the snake, we had already lost a lot of people. If you hadn’t shown up, we wouldn’t know how to deal with it!”
“It was nothing. It was nothing.”
Gu Ning said casually, “In fact, it was all thanks to you that he was already seriously injured. I was just lucky enough to give him a fatal blow at the critical moment.”
Gu Ning kept waving his hands to show Deng Wang that he was not that good. He was just lucky enough to get the last hit in.
However, Deng Wang, who had fought with the snake himself, knew that their team had not even broken the snake’s skin. Gu Ning had killed the snake with a single punch! They both praised and humbled each other.
“In short, you’ve helped us a lot. We’ll definitely reward you! Give us the card number later. The Finance Department will allocate one million beast crystals for you!”
Beast crystals were the common currency of the entire Blue planet. They were extracted from the bodies of beasts by scientists. They could be used by contracted beasts to upgrade themselves! They could also be used in building materials, human herbs, machine energy, and so on.
Over time, on the Blue Planet, Beast Crystals had become the only common currency instead of gold and silver treasures!
When Gu Ning heard Deng Wang say that he was to be rewarded, he was excited, “Although it’s easy to maintain social order, since you insist on giving me money, I have no choice but to accept it.”
“Okay!”Deng Wang started to introduce himself. “My name is Deng Wang, the director of the Exterminators in this city. May I know your name?”
“Gu Ning, I’m a freshman at Blue High School. This is my card number.” Gu Ning also gave him his identity and card number.
Rex, the principal, was not a fool. Hearing this, he recalled the recent news about the fierce attack of the familiar and the mysterious rumors about the high school students.
“Gu Ning, so you’re the one-punch high school student in the news about the mutated beast!” Rex said.
Before Gu Ning could react, Deng Wang was the first to be confused, “Didn’t you know? This student could easily defeat a C-class enemy. I thought he had been the focus of the school for a long time.”
“You didn’t pour your resources into him after reading the news?” Deng Wang asked in disbelief.
Rex was surprised by Deng Wang’s question. How could Gu Ning defeat a C-level beast with only one punch? He really did not know!
Although Gu Ning had been performing well recently in both the test and the fight with the Bai Brothers, Rex had not expected Gu Ning to defeat a C-level beast!
Gu Ning, who had a high EQ, jumped out to explain, “Actually, I’m a low-key person, so no one knew of my real strength.”
Deng Wang nodded and said to Rex, “Now you know that Deng Wang is the high school student in the news, but you have to keep it a secret. It’s mandatory by the Exterminators.”
Rex answered, “I’ll keep it a secret even if you don’t tell me! Gu Ning just went to test himself out. The Familiars’ Association is here to poach Gu Ning. I won’t tell anyone about it!”
Hearing that, Deng Wang suddenly paused, “About the poaching…”
“Don’t tell me the Exterminators’ Department wants to poach Gu Ning as well?” Rex was shocked.
Deng Wang nodded, then turned to Gu Ning and said, “Mr. Gu Ning, I, Deng Wang, Director of the Exterminators’ Department in this city, would like to invite you to be a member of the Exterminators’ Department.”
“You want me to be a slayer?”Gu Ning was a bit surprised. “But I’m only 15 years old now. I don’t think I’m old enough to be one.”
Deng Wang shook his head. “Age doesn’t matter. You’re a talent. A talent like you should work for the safety of the city. The city needs you.”
“Well…” Gu Ning thought about it for a while.
“I also want to remind you that you’re not an intern or assistant, but an actual civil servant. Your monthly salary would be 10,000 Beast Crystals, and you also become eligible for commissions.”
Hearing that, Gu Ning took a deep breath. A monthly salary of 10,000 Beast Crystals was indeed tempting! Who could resist it?
But it was a big decision, so Gu Ning could not jump into it rashly. At this time, the red dragon tattoo on Gu Ning’s chest lit up.
The red dragon queen thought to Gu Ning, “Master, Xiao Hong has just calculated for you. This position will bring you nothing but benefits.”
The red dragon queen added, “You don’t have to worry about the beasts. You are Xiao Hong’s master. Xiao Hong’s power is shared with you. Even if Xiao Hong doesn’t show up, you can still fight against hundreds of beasts.”
The principal, Rex, could not say anything.
These slayers were nothing like the Familiars’ Association. In terms of power and influence, they were like heaven and earth!
Not to mention that even if Gu Ning graduated from Rex’s school and asked Rex to help him find a job, Rex would be unable to pay him as much as the exterminators!
Therefore, after thinking for a while, Gu Ning looked at the slayer, Deng Wang, and said, “Okay, I’ll be a slayer.”
Deng Wang shook hands with Gu Ning and said, “Welcome to the Exterminators’ Department!”
