Chapter 436: Contribution Points?
Chapter 436: Contribution Points?
December 19th, 2024
Jiang Cheng was left speechless by the other party's words. While their statement was accurate, the tone was rather unpleasant.
Comparing it to Chu Feng, who was a leader, the difference in speech and conduct was evident.
However, the other party's demands were reasonable. After all, no one wanted to support idlers.
"If these are the only two requirements, I can agree to them," Jiang Cheng said.
"Good, then let's discuss the terms of employment," Xu Juan said, picking up a piece of paper and a pen from the side.
"As a deputy director, you'll earn 20,000 yuan per month and 200 contribution points. The money can be spent within the city, and contribution points can be exchanged for cultivation resources. Generally, one contribution point is equivalent to 10,000 yuan in the outside world."
"So, 200 contribution points are worth 2 million?" Jiang Cheng was a little surprised by this revelation.
For a Grandmaster, this income wasn't exceptionally high.
However, for Primordial Energy Warriors and Mind Mages, this income was quite substantial. Moreover, it involved minimal risk, and the idea of earning money just by sitting in an office was appealing.
"Yes," Xu Juan nodded. "But contribution points cannot be exchanged for money, and the reverse is also true."
"Understood," Jiang Cheng replied.
Primordial Energy Warriors wouldn't be idle, trying to exchange contribution points for money. It would be more likely for them to attempt the opposite, converting money into contribution points.
Jiang Cheng asked, "Aside from these, are there any other welfare benefits?"
"Yes," Xu Juan glanced at Jiang Cheng. "You're an alchemist. According to our previous discussion, after deducting costs, the profit from each furnace of top-grade Vigor Pills is 5 million. With a 50-50 profit split, you'll receive 250 contribution points per furnace. Calculating for two furnaces, you'll earn 500 contribution points per day, and these earnings can be settled daily. Previously, it was calculated monthly."
Jiang Cheng nodded.
If possible, he could earn even more contribution points.
However, with the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, he was less reliant on potions. Once he mastered the pendant, his cultivation speed would skyrocket!
The contribution points from alchemy still had their uses. Currently, aside from a Sixth Rank beginner-level defensive artifact and the Jade Coiling Dragon Pendant, a Fourth Rank artifact for cultivation assistance, he had no other valuable items.
If he encountered an opponent of the same level, the most likely scenario would be a close-quarters brawl.
Fourth Rank artifacts were priced between 10 million and 1 billion. At the highest price of 1 billion, it would cost 100,000 contribution points.
Based on 500 contribution points per day, it would take 200 days to purchase a Fourth Rank high-grade artifact.
It was indeed a long time...
Sensing Jiang Cheng's thoughts, Xu Juan said, "If you feel the contribution points are insufficient, you can always refine more potions. With your abilities, you'll be much faster than most people in acquiring a Fourth Rank artifact for Grandmasters."
Jiang Cheng couldn't shake the feeling that Xu Juan's tone carried a hint of envy and jealousy.
"Okay, Principal Xu. For now, I'd like to focus on improving my strength. My mana is still too low."
"That's fine. As long as you can refine two furnaces of finished potions daily, it's sufficient," Xu Juan said, not insisting further.
"By the way, Principal Xu, are there any other methods to earn contribution points?" Jiang Cheng asked curiously.
"Of course, there are other methods, but they aren't suitable for ordinary people, and I wouldn't recommend them to you either.
"What method?" Jiang Cheng asked eagerly.
"By becoming a member of the Resistance Army and carrying out various tasks. The simplest one is to inspect the underground passages. The threats to the City of Hope don't just come from above ground, but also from underground creatures that are adept at burrowing. There have even been a few instances of these creatures appearing within the city and causing havoc. That's why regular tunnel inspections are necessary."
"Aside from this task, the other missions generally take place above ground. For example, gathering medicinal herbs, acquiring beast materials, and more challenging tasks like raids and rescue operations. With your experience, you should understand what these entail."
"Yes," Jiang Cheng replied.
It seemed that to gain more contribution points, one had to undertake these tasks, and the greater the difficulty, the higher the contribution points earned.
"These tasks all come with potential risks, so I wouldn't recommend someone like you to take them on. After all, you can earn contribution points through alchemy, and there's no need to take such a huge risk. Moreover, we're also lacking people with your talents here." Xu Juan maintained her calm demeanor.
"Aside from these tasks, not everyone can become a Resistance Army soldier."
"Why?"
"Because there's an examination. As you can imagine, during the execution of tasks, dangers and battles are ever-present. Therefore, Resistance Army soldiers must possess exceptional combat abilities and be among the top in their realm. Failing to meet this standard means you won't pass the test to become a soldier."
"I understand now," Jiang Cheng said, enlightened.
In other words, it was a practical examination.
Fortunately, this wasn't a significant challenge for him, as he could rely on the stat panel to master various martial arts.
"I understand, thank you for the explanation, Principal Xu. But if possible, I still want to give it a try," Jiang Cheng said with a smile.
On one hand, he didn't want to remain as a logistics personnel, always staying in the rear.
On the other hand, while revenge could wait, Bing Li and his gang shouldn't be allowed to continue living, not to mention the gangs in the slums.
Previously, he had various concerns and couldn't easily take action against them. Even if he did, he had to be discreet to avoid implicating his family.
Now, those concerns were gone.
He was now a member of the Resistance Army, and this was his job!
Xu Juan's pupils flashed with a strange light, and her tone softened unconsciously, "The students in the academy all aspire to become Resistance Army soldiers. It's an honor for anyone in the city to achieve this status. If you wish to take the examination, I won't stop you."
"Thank you, Principal Xu."
"You're welcome. But if you do pass the test and want to carry out missions, be extra careful. Well, aside from these questions, do you have any others?"
"Not for now," Jiang Cheng shook his head.
"If I do have more questions later, I'll come to you for guidance."
"Sure, let's get the formalities done. Once everything is in order, I'll have the director of the alchemy department, your superior, come to receive you."
"Alright."
Jiang Cheng exhaled, and from this moment on, he was officially a member of the academy.
Speaking of which, he never thought that after his rebirth, he would not only enter an academy but also become a director.
