Salary Doubled, Ready to Go

Salary Doubled, Ready to Go

Qian Xunjie got straight to the point and asked what reward Kizaru wanted. Since Kizaru had been willing to nag at him for so long, he had to be very interested.

"Then this old man will say it. As for this old man's salary, could it perhaps... you know~" Rota gave Qian Xunjie a knowing look.

Hearing Kizaru's answer, Qian Xunjie let out a deep sigh of relief. A reward like this was simple enough. What he feared was Kizaru asking for something exceptionally precious.

Spirit Hall did not lack money at all. If it was merely a monetary reward, Qian Xunjie had nothing to worry about.

"Then how about this, Kizaru! Your salary will be tripled from now on. Your monthly pay will rise to fifteen thousand Gold Soul Coins, and your additional mission rewards will become three times what they were before. Deal?"

This time, Qian Xunjie was full of confidence. He believed Kizaru had no reason to refuse. Of course, Qian Xunjie had guessed right—Kizaru indeed responded just as he expected.

"Yoshi, please rest assured, Your Holiness~ This old man will definitely make Tang Hao join Spirit Hall!" With his salary tripled, Rota suddenly felt brimming with motivation.

Ding, iconic scene—Salary Doubled triggered. Kizaru's imitation level has increased to 64%.

This really was a double blessing. His imitation level had risen as well.

Kizaru's enormous change from before gradually helped Qian Xunjie grasp the trick to getting along with him. As long as the salary was sufficient, there was no need to worry about Kizaru not getting things done.

What had just happened was the best example. From now on, he would no longer have to put up with Kizaru's attitude. He could easily win Kizaru over with money.

Spirit Hall's income was quite considerable. After all, it was the largest soul master organization on the continent, with strength capable of rivaling the two great empires. How could it possibly lack financial power?

"Very well. Since Elder Kizaru has volunteered, I'll leave this mission to Elder Kizaru. I await your good news." Qian Xunjie felt much more relaxed. It seemed that whenever he gave Kizaru orders in the future, he only needed to double his salary.

After settling the matter, everyone dispersed, and Rota returned home as well. Since he had accepted the mission, he had to make proper preparations!

Before long, only Qian Xunjie remained in the Spirit Hall Sacred Hall.

At that moment, Bibi Dong appeared beside Qian Xunjie and asked, "Teacher, why did you suddenly think of recruiting Tang Hao?"

"Bibi Dong, haven't you noticed the current situation?" Qian Xunjie did not rush to answer her question, instead tossing the question back at her.

Bibi Dong furrowed her brows slightly and pondered for a while. "In this student's opinion, Teacher's intention should be to recruit people for Pope Hall!"

Looking at his outstanding student, Qian Xunjie smiled faintly. "Bibi Dong, your powers of observation truly are meticulous! Pope Hall is weaker than Elder Hall. The elders of Elder Hall are all extremely powerful, not to mention the even stronger Douluo Hall. We have no choice but to recruit some talented people!"

Bibi Dong nodded, clearly agreeing with Qian Xunjie's view. The Titled Douluo elder Pope Hall had lost last time was also the only elder in the hall at the Titled Douluo level.

If Elder Kizaru had not taken up his position, Pope Hall might now have faced a situation where no one was available for use. Ghost and Yue Guan were only level 86, and their deterrent power was nowhere near that of a Titled Douluo.

As for the Soul Douluo and Titled Douluo within Elder Hall, Qian Xunjie could not easily mobilize them. Most of them would only obey Qian Daoliu.

"Bibi Dong, you possess the extremely precious Twin Martial Souls, along with tremendous talent. Becoming a Titled Douluo is only a matter of time. You should work harder too, or the next Pope might not be you!" Qian Xunjie's eyes were filled with possessiveness as he looked at Bibi Dong.

"Your status is noble. You are not the same kind of person as certain people. So many years have passed—you should understand your teacher's painstaking intentions by now, shouldn't you?" Qian Xunjie looked at Bibi Dong before him with an evil expression.

"Yes, this student understands!" Bibi Dong bit her lip, forcefully suppressing the anger in her heart.

"Then, Bibi Dong, it has been five or six years since Qian Renxue was born, hasn't it..."

Seeing Qian Xunjie's expression, how could Bibi Dong not know what filthy thoughts he had? If Qian Xunjie made another move, she would definitely risk her life to strike.

"Moshi moshi~ Your Holiness, you haven't left yet, have you?"

A familiar voice sounded outside the Spirit Hall Sacred Hall. Qian Xunjie, whose interest had been stirred, clicked his tongue. "That Kizaru really knows how to ruin things!"

"Come in!" Qian Xunjie returned to his throne and resumed his previous stern appearance.

"Kizaru, hadn't you already gone back? Why have you returned? Is there something else?" Qian Xunjie's tone carried some irritation.

Rota noticed Bibi Dong beside him and gave her a slight bow. Bibi Dong's eyes were filled with gratitude as she looked at Rota. If Rota had not appeared in time, she might already have taken action... She did not dare imagine the consequences. Leaving aside whether her current strength was enough to kill Qian Xunjie, killing him would bring her no benefit at present. Angering Qian Daoliu would be even worse.

"This old man was wondering whether he could receive part of his salary in advance. This trip will likely take quite a while, so this old man needs some startup funds~"

After thinking it over, Qian Xunjie felt that made sense. Tang Hao was traveling and training outside, and his whereabouts were extremely difficult to track. Kizaru's request was not excessive either.

"Fine, approved!"

"Then this old man thanks Your Holiness~ This old man shall take his leave."

Seeing that Rota was preparing to leave, Bibi Dong also bid Qian Xunjie farewell. If her strength had not been insufficient, how could she have endured without making a move?

"Teacher, then this student will take Elder Kizaru to collect his advance salary."

"Go!"

There was still a trace of unwillingness in Qian Xunjie's eyes, but there was nothing he could do. Kizaru's arrival had simply been too timely.

Bibi Dong and Rota walked side by side. Bibi Dong suddenly turned to Rota and thanked him, "Elder Kizaru, thank you for today!"

Rota naturally knew what that scum Qian Xunjie had been planning. The reason he had arrived in time was because he had casually used Observation Haki to check on Qian Xunjie's movements.

"Why are you suddenly thanking this old man? This old man merely went to ask His Holiness for an advance on his salary~"

"It's nothing. I just wanted to thank you~" Bibi Dong said playfully.

Rota nearly forgot that he wanted to ask Bibi Dong about her age. He then asked, "By the way, Saintess, could you tell this old man your age?"

Bibi Dong was briefly stunned by Rota's sudden question about her age, but she quickly recovered.

"Elder Kizaru wants to know my age? Fine, then I'll tell you quietly."

Rota bent down, and Bibi Dong leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

"This old man understands~ Thank you, Saintess!"

Rota had finally learned Bibi Dong's age. But honestly, at thirty years old, no one could possibly guess it from her appearance and voice alone.

Bibi Dong then took Rota to collect his advance salary, and Rota's pockets were finally full.

"Then, Elder Kizaru, I wish you a smooth journey!" Bibi Dong bid Rota farewell.

"Osu, Saintess, you should hurry back and get some rest~"

After bidding Bibi Dong farewell, Rota returned home. He planned to set out tomorrow, so today he would enjoy one more lazy day.

Now that he had taken the salary, he had to at least complete a little of the mission. This mission was, in the truest sense, Rota's first mission.

His previous two missions had both been actions Rota took on his own initiative, not official missions formally issued by Qian Xunjie.
