Chapter 585: Promotion
Chapter 585: Promotion
"...I don't need to doubt it, you little brat, you're definitely hinting at something!"
As the emerald-eyed maiden kept asking questions while sneaking glances at him, Lyon couldn't help but turn dark, regretting not taking the opportunity to teach her a lesson earlier. Meanwhile, the red-haired director, leaning on her hand, smiled and replied:
"That's definitely not a problem. According to the Cleanup Bureau's regulations, it's best for cleaners to work in pairs or teams of three. Newcomers must be accompanied by experienced cleaners on their first few missions to avoid sending them to their deaths right away.
However, on the one hand, your skills far surpass ordinary newcomers, and you have many anomalies in your possession, making it almost impossible for any danger to occur. On the other hand, we at the Virgin Bureau are short-staffed, and most of us work solo. Additionally, since you rarely leave the Royal City, it's up to you whether you want to form a fixed team or not."
Phew... that's good, that's good...
"However, I still highly recommend forming a semi-fixed team."
After glancing at the visibly relieved emerald-eyed maiden, the red-haired director winked knowingly and then spoke with a hint of mischief:
"For instance, Lyon is an excellent choice. Although he hasn't been with the Virgin Bureau for long, he has already taken on numerous extremely dangerous missions, completing them at a nearly 100% success rate, and he's already reached the Second-Class Cleaner level..."
"No, no, no, no!"
Felicia's face paled as she frantically shook her head after saying four 'no's in a row.
"I'm fine working alone. I don't need a fixed team!"
"It's up to you whether you want to team up or not."
After encouraging the emerald-eyed maiden with a few words and assigning her to an office across from Lyon's, the red-haired director watched her leave with a deep smile. Then, she turned to Lyon, who was standing in front of her with a dark expression, and said with a mischievous smile:
"By the way, Lyon, if I'm not mistaken, your Leon Value has been improving rapidly, and it should already meet the Second-Class Cleaner standard. There's a promotion opportunity coming up soon, so it's time for you to request a level-up."
Promote to Second-Class Cleaner?
Upon hearing this, Lyon pondered for a moment. The Imbue Value for Second-Class Cleaners is approximately 11-30 points. During his mission to the Corlock Kingdom, he had consecutively 'consumed' three experienced Second-Class Cleaners, and even spent several hours with the Scorpion Chief.
Although he eventually expelled these souls without fully 'digesting' them, he still gained a significant boost to his Imbue Value. His current value had already surpassed 16 points, making it an appropriate time to consider a promotion to Second-Class Cleaner.
"Alright."
Lyon nodded slightly and then asked curiously:
"Director, aside from meeting the required Leon Value, are there any other conditions for promoting to Second-Class Cleaner?"
"There are indeed some requirements."
The red-haired director paused for a moment, then replied with a peculiar expression:
"First is the recommender. Most Second and Third-Class Cleaners are not allowed to act alone and are usually accompanied by First or Second-Class Cleaners. For a promotion, a recommendation is needed from a higher-level cleaner in the fixed team or the division leader of the respective bureau.
Although you've been on missions with Emma, Jerry, Nicole, Tom, and Pionie, they don't constitute a fixed team, so I, as the division leader, will have to be the one to recommend you.
Second is the number of missions completed. Our bureau's missions are categorized into five levels based on their urgency, from level one incidents to level five apocalypses.
The fifth level, apocalypse-class missions, are usually handled by the Eudoxus, the Twelve Directors, or the Grand Director. For instance, the Grand Director, who hasn't returned from the Old Lands, is currently on a fifth-level mission.
As for the fourth-tier Devastation-level missions, they are assigned to Elite Class One Purifiers, Deputy Directors, and Eudoxus based on the level of danger. The Soul Descent Abyss you participated in and the Corlock Kingdom mission this time are both considered fourth-tier missions.
The final three tiers—Incidents, Crises, and Disasters—are handled by third, second, and first-level Purifiers, respectively. To be promoted in the running for promotion, they must have a record of completing at least twenty missions of the same level or have participated in five missions of a higher tier.
Damn... With the team leader's recommendation and task quantity restrictions, the person who set these rules must have read the 'Eyes of Legend'!
Leon couldn't help but silently complain to himself. After mentally reviewing his submitted mission reports, he exclaimed in surprise:
"Director, if we calculate it this way, then I..."
"You currently have a total of twelve mission records, excluding those that are inconvenient to report. There are three first-tier Incident missions, one second-tier Crisis mission, and one third-tier Disaster mission. The remaining seven mission records are all fourth-tier Devastation-level missions."
After meticulously recounting Leon's mission records, the Red-Haired Director couldn't help but sigh with a mix of love and frustration as she looked at her trusted aide, whose mission and troublemaking skills were maxed out:
"Based solely on the number of third-tier Purifier missions, you've set a record. With just 31 points and my recommendation letter, you could take the Probationary District Director assessment right now."
"Do I have to participate in the assessment at the headquarters if I want to be promoted to a second-level Purifier?"
Upon hearing this, Leon furrowed his brows, then reluctantly said:
"Director, I've been busy with this mission for over a month. Now, I just want to rest for a few days... Why don't I skip this assessment and go next time!"
"Hey, don't do that!"
Realizing that Leon seemed to want to back out, the Red-Haired Director quickly tried to persuade him:
"These promotion assessments are held only twice a year. If there aren't enough participants, it might even be every two years. If you don't go this time, you might have to wait for the second half of the year or even one or two more.
Moreover, this promotion assessment has the highest number of participants in the last thirty years. Sixty-one out of eighty-seven divisions will send representatives, including first, second, and third-level Purifiers, totaling over four hundred people. It would be a shame to miss this opportunity."
"..."
I get it now; you want me to help you show off...
Seeing through his director's plan, Leon couldn't help but sigh:
"It's not that I'm arrogant, but my situation is a bit different from a typical third-level Purifier. By asking me to participate in this assessment, you're kind of taking advantage..."
"Oh, come on, how is this taking advantage?"
Knowing that her plan wouldn't fool Leon, the Red-Haired Director decided to be honest, blinking innocently and spreading her hands in a feigned gesture of innocence.
"Several of the Purifiers participating in this assessment are former members of our division who left..."
After speaking the truth with a pout, the Red-Haired Director clenched her fist and swung it through the air, then made a harsh promise:
"As long as you go and slap them in the face for me, I'll give you a raise! The harder you slap, the bigger the raise!"
