New World, New Job—IRS Employee! (Seeking Collections and Recommendations!)

One month later.

Mount Everest, summit.

This was a period of the year when the weather on Everest wasn't at its worst, but it was absolutely not suitable for summiting.

Unless someone was asking for death, no one would choose to climb to the top at this time.

Howling wind and snow shrouded the area, making it nearly impossible to see.

Just then, with a dull thud, a figure directly "flew" up and landed steadily on the summit!

In the distance, the rising sun broke through ten thousand miles of dark clouds, a single thread of golden light piercing through just as this person landed, catching his eye.

At this moment, in this place, this person.

The world—only he was here to appreciate this magnificent sight.

"I'll take that as a good omen." Zhou Yi grinned, sat down cross-legged on the ground, and closed his eyes.

[Zhou Yi:

Number of Occupied Profession Titles: 1

Available World Creation Opportunities: 1

Worlds Visited: "Fast & Furious" series world

[Physique]: 1191

[Intellect]: 1193

[Magic]: 100]

After Zhou Yi received his share of the reward, that two million dollars was counted as labor income for his [Auto Mechanic] profession, and his experience points increased by two hundred. Then, the [Auto Mechanic] profession advanced from Intermediate to Advanced, granting him ten times the bonuses compared to before!

Ten times the upgrade requirement meant ten times the reward.

Over the past month, Zhou Yi first took care of some of his assets, selecting people he had already scouted to manage them. After everything was settled, he said goodbye to Toretto, Gisele, and the others, then came alone to Mount Everest.

Of course, when he said goodbye to Toretto and the rest, he only explained that he wanted to leave this place, find some remote areas to challenge survival or experience a secluded life—he didn't tell them his true purpose.

Although Zhou Yi could come back if he wanted, he learned from the system that every world jump—if it wasn't a world creation but a return to a previously visited world—cost ten experience points per jump!

So, unless necessary, Zhou Yi wouldn't be coming back anytime soon.

That said, after his [Physique] reached over a thousand points, Zhou Yi clearly felt that he no longer seemed human.

...Why did that sound like he was insulting himself?

But regardless, Zhou Yi felt that he was now moving more and more toward the direction and level of a superhuman.

He had climbed and leaped his way up here.

With solid rock to push off from, Zhou Yi could jump over ten meters in a single bound—his [Physique] had already reached that level.

And it was precisely because Zhou Yi planned to use this method to reach the summit that he chose this period—when the weather was harsh and no one would be climbing.

That way, even if he caused an avalanche, no innocent people would be harmed, and he wouldn't be caught on camera or anything. Though Zhou Yi didn't care much about that, saving himself trouble was always a nice bonus.

"It's time." Watching the rising sun fully emerge, Zhou Yi murmured to himself.

With a thought, Zhou Yi chose to use his one available world creation opportunity.

In an instant, Zhou Yi vanished from where he stood and appeared in a vast starry sky!

"No matter how many times I see it, it's still breathtaking..." Zhou Yi looked around and let out a sigh.

At this moment, he was floating above a river of stars, surrounded by countless celestial bodies!

Zhou Yi wasn't sure if some force was protecting him or what, but as far as he could tell, he could breathe normally and survive without any pressure.

[Random world selection in progress...]

A system prompt appeared in Zhou Yi's mind, and the countless stars seemed to be stirred by an invisible giant hand.

Starlight danced.

Finally, one star slipped out from that invisible giant hand, turning into a small point of light that floated before Zhou Yi.

[World selected—Spy Movie World (worlds including "Mission: Impossible," "The Bourne Identity," "Taken," "Kingsman," etc.)]

[Please select -- Transmigration Location]

[Please select -- New Occupation]

Zhou Yi's eyes went wide.

No way!

This kind of thing was possible?

A spy movie world? That meant nuclear crises as a daily starting point, right?

"Choose..." Zhou Yi had already done this once before, so he wasn't at a loss. After thinking for a moment, he reached out and tapped the new star. "Transmigration Location: United States, Virginia, Langley City."

"As for occupation..." Zhou Yi looked at the options the system provided. "CIA Agent, FBI Investigator, NSA Agent? Hmm... Heh, I'm choosing--IRS Employee!"

That's right, he outright skipped the first three that seemed more legitimate and picked the fourth, which felt completely unrelated to espionage--IRS Employee.

But of course, his choice had its reasons.

There was no option to select a time point, and Zhou Yi wasn't entirely sure why. But based on his last experience, the system would place him roughly a year before the official plot began. He wondered if it would be the same this time.

[Location confirmed, New Occupation selected, Transmigration begins]

The star in front of Zhou Yi gradually blazed with light until it completely swallowed him whole!

In the blink of an eye, when Zhou Yi came to his senses, he was standing on a commercial street, with an ordinary messenger bag in his hand that bore no markings at all.

His outfit didn't draw any stares from passersby, because when Zhou Yi had climbed Mount Everest, he'd worn a plain down jacket. Langley seemed to be in the middle of winter right now, and most people around him were also in down jackets, so his clothing was perfectly fine.

Taking a step forward, Zhou Yi headed toward a phone store he'd spotted nearby while simultaneously checking the bonuses from his newly acquired occupation.

IRS Employee · Beginner (0/10)

(What do we at the IRS do? Let me tell you--people the FBI can't catch, we catch. Intelligence the NSA can't get, we get. People the CIA can't handle, we handle. No matter what, in America, only death and taxes are eternal!)

Title Bonuses:

1. [Tax Law Expertise] (Sharpen your tools before you do your work!)

2. [Basic Agent Skills] (Sometimes, when dealing with special tax evaders, you need this to find enough evidence!)

3. [Basic Weapon Proficiency] (As an IRS employee, this is a skill you must master!)

In an instant, the knowledge he'd acquired was fully grasped in Zhou Yi's mind. With his current [Intelligence], absorbing such a massive amount of information in a single moment caused no discomfort.

Taxes... Thinking about the taxes paid in that book "Taxi Driver in the Marvel Universe" made my heart ache--one month's living expenses gone in a single payment, wuwuwu~ But then I remembered the big shot paying tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands a month, and suddenly I felt balanced again.
