Chapter 332: Jackpot!
In addition to 10 billion Great Yu dollars, there were also blood spirit weapons!
Three of them at that!
“Can the Jade Sword Sect afford so much?”
asked Wu Shouhan doubtfully after reading the bounty post.
“Heh, since the Jade Sword Sect dares to put this up, they can definitely afford it,” said the young man with a smile.
!!
“I don’t think so. They must have borrowed from someone else.”
“Borrow money? Or spirit weapons? Money is easy. The Jade Sword Sect has a strong foundation. Borrowing a few billions is no problem, but who would be willing to lend spirit weapons?”
“That’s right. The Jade Sword Sect has a strong foundation, and they keep a low profile. I don’t think it’s a problem for them to take out three spirit weapons.”
“Sigh, the value of three spirit weapons have long exceeded 10 billion Great Yu dollars. The Jade Sword Sect is spending a lot of money this time to find a person. I wonder which family this child belongs to. Speaking of which, does Mei Shanghe have such a young son?”
“It doesn’t have to be his son. It’s possible that he’s a nephew or an illegitimate child.”
…
The crowd started discussing again.
Mei Shanghe, Sect Master of the Jade Sword Sect, fourth-grade.
The Jade Sword Sect was giving a bounty of 10 billion dollars and three spirit weapons. It was definitely a big sum.
Although some people suspected the legitimacy, most people believed that it was true.
There was no other reason. The Jade Sword Sect’s reputation was very solid. This was a reputation gained through the test of time.
Besides, there was almost no loss for the people who provided the clues.
If one had really seen a little boy somewhere, he could get 100 million Great Yu dollars with a call.
Who could refuse such a good thing?
…
“Even I’m tempted.”
In the car heading into the city, Wu Shouhan looked at the bounty notice displayed on the huge screen outside a building and sighed.
“Any normal person would be tempted by this.”
Su Jingxing, who was driving, glanced at the bounty notice on the bus and was slightly surprised.
This was crazy.
The bounty issued by the Jade Sword Sect had not only appeared on the Internet, on television, radio, road signs, and public buses…
It was a complete all-round publicity with an overwhelming 10 billion dollar bounty.
Overnight, Qinghe City was in an uproar.
Everyone was talking enthusiastically about the Jade Sword Sect’s bounty this time, lamenting the generosity of the rich.
10 billion Great Yu dollars, three blood spirit weapons.
This was to catch all the ordinary people, martial artists, and even the major factions and officials in Qinghe City in one fell swoop.
The background of the little boy on the bounty made everyone curious.
“Even if he’s the son of Mei Shanghe, the others from the Jade Sword Sect should have objections about paying such a high price, right?”
Wu Shouhan sighed.
“Who knows? Mei Shanghe probably took out something else to make up for it,” Su Jingxing responded casually.
“You mean abdicate? Give up the position of Sect Master?” Wu Shouhan guessed.
“That’s possible,” replied Su Jingxing.
“Heh, looks like Mei Shanghe cares a lot about this child,” said Wu Shouhan with a smile.
If the child was from the Yu Family in the capital, would Mei Shanghe dare to be careless?!
Su Jingxing thought inwardly.
Behind the Jade Sword Sect was the Yu Family, one of the five major martial arts families in the Yu Nation.
If the child was really from the Yu Family, nothing Mei Shanghe did would be considered overboard.
As for the overwhelming bounty, the Li Family and the Martial Suppression Office had also contributed.
The Li Family was a subsidiary faction of the Yu Family. Li Linzhou’s mother was once a member of the Yu Family.
On second thought, there was a 90% chance that the child with the bounty was from the Yu Family!
No wonder…
With this in mind, Su Jingxing was relieved.
A direct descendant of the Yu Family had gone missing. In order to find him, the subordinates had specially issued a sky-high bounty.
But…
“Why would a child from the Yu Family appear in Qinghe City?”
Su Jingxing was puzzled.
But he didn’t think too much about it and quickly threw the matter to the back of his mind.
…
With Wu Shouhan leading and recommending him,
Su Jingxing’s application for the position of Dragon Seeking Envoy was quickly completed.
Of course, it would still take about two days for procedures to go through and to officially settle it.
Not everyone could become a Dragon Seeking Envoy just because they wanted to.
After all, the benefits and remuneration of this position were exceptional. Previously, there were people who took advantage of the loopholes to get free benefits but did not work.
For this reason, the verification of ident.i.ty information was extremely strict. Firstly, one had to be upright and with no criminal records.
Secondly, one could not have a single business under his name, let alone hold important positions in the various government departments.
Finally, his martial arts cultivation had to be at least in the seventh-grade.
The three requests directly cut off any person who wished to take advantage of the loopholes.
Which seventh-grade martial artist wouldn’t have many businesses?
Even if they did not manage it themselves, there would be no lack of businesses under their name.
Not to mention being unable to hold important positions in the government, military, and other departments.
To put it bluntly, the Dragon Seeking Envoy was actually a position that the government prepared to recruit those poor independent martial artists.
This independent martial artist had to have good character and a clean background. He also had to be recommended by the head of an official organization!
All kinds of conditions restricted those who wised to take advantage of loopholes and wanted to get benefits for free.
That was why the position had always been empty.
It was surprising that Su Jingxing met all the requirements.
A department director who had a good relationship with Wu Shouhan even tried to poach him on the spot. In the end, he naturally got a dressing down by Wu Shouhan.
Then, he pulled Su Jingxing out of the administration building.
On the way back to the crematorium, Wu Shouhan tried his best to comfort Su Jingxing, hoping that he wouldn’t jump ship.
He only relaxed after Su Jingxing repeatedly promised that he wouldn’t leave.
He wasn’t really a empleomania1.
He was free and unrestrained in the crematorium. He could even extract cards.
He must be out of his mind to switch to another organization.
…
Back at the crematorium, Su Jingxing spent a rare day patrolling.
On this day, the entire city was discussing the astronomical bounty issued by the Jade Sword Sect.
It wasn’t just Qinghe City. By nightfall, everyone in the Changyang Prefecture knew about it.
As for whether anyone had provided clues, other than the people involved, no one outside knew.
Su Jingxing didn’t pay attention to it either.
At night, after work, he rode his bike back to his small courtyard at the foot of the mountain.
He crossed the bridge and rode along the southern bank. When he was about to reach the small courtyard, he suddenly saw a corpse floating on the river.
No, not a corpse!
Su Jingxing didn’t receive any notification about extracted cards.
This meant that the person was still alive!
Hence, Su Jingxing quickly rode his bike home.
After changing his clothes, he transformed into Jiang Ziya and soared into the sky.
Stepping on the night sky, he picked up the “corpse” on the river and landed on the north bank.
Under the street lamp, Su Jingxing got a clear look of the pet.i.te “corpse”.
“What a coincidence?”
Su Jingxing found it strange.
Floating on the river surface was the target of the Jade Sword Sect’s sky-high bounty, the seven-year-old boy from the Yu Family!
“This is really the will of the heavens for me to hit the jackpot.”
Su Jingxing checked the little boy’s body and sighed happily.
It was definitely a jackpot.
So many people were looking for him, but Su Jingxing got lucky.
The little boy was not injured, but there was some water in his stomach and he was unconscious.
Su Jingxing helped to remove the river water from his stomach. The little boy woke up coughing.
“Cough! Cough!”
The little boy who opened his eyes and saw Su Jingxing was terrified. He trembled as he shuffled back and shouted.
“No, don’t eat me, don’t eat me!”
