Absolutely Not Joining for Benefits!

"Alright, I was rude. I apologize." Qu Lianhong felt she had indeed made a mistake after Zhou Wen said that.

Upon seeing the attributes of Mu Rufeng's Cleaver, her mind went into overdrive, and she wanted to buy it.

After Zhou Wen spoke to her, directly enlightening her, she felt extremely ashamed.

"It's alright," Mu Rufeng said with a smile.

Despite Mu Rufeng appearing unfazed on the surface, he was internally crying tears of blood: Ah, come on, name your price! I'll sell, I'll sell!!!

Ultimately, Mu Rufeng did not voice these words.

Zhou Wen was right; offensive Oddities were indeed crucial for newcomers. If he had sold it directly, he might have exposed certain things.

"Right, you mentioned earlier that you obtained another attribute. What was it?" Zhou Wen asked again.

"Ten percent increase to all stats," Mu Rufeng replied.

Naturally, he didn't mention the bloodthirsty attribute but instead revealed another attribute left by his cheat.

At first glance, the bloodthirsty attribute seemed like a negative one, causing irritability and impatience.

However, it also included forgetting fear and reducing pain by fifty percent.

In the world of the bizarre, the most direct way to avoid violating rules was to remain calm and composed, free from fear.

The bloodthirsty attribute perfectly fulfilled this requirement.

Compared to forgetting fear and reducing pain, irritability and impatience were practically harmless.

Most importantly, the bloodthirsty state was triggered simply by consuming blood, making it extremely easy.

"An increase to all stats! I must say, your luck is truly incredible," Zhou Wen commented.

"I've cleared three dungeons, and I've only gained a ten percent increase in a single stat, strength," Qu Lianhong said enviously.

"Alright, the settlement is complete, and you are now officially an LV1 player."

"I believe you have many questions for us."

"Now, I formally invite you to join our Relevant Department," Zhou Wen said with a solemn expression.

Mu Rufeng didn't agree immediately. Instead, he asked, "I'd like to ask, is it mandatory to join you? What will happen to me if I don't join?"

Zhou Wen smiled slightly and replied, "Dungeon players are divided into two types, and the official attitude towards them differs greatly."

"The first type is assimilation and cultivation; these are the official dungeon players, which is what we are."

"As for the second type, they are dungeon players who operate outside of official channels, subject to official supervision and control to prevent them from harming ordinary people."

"If you don't join, then I'm afraid we can only provide you with the most basic information."

Qu Lianhong added, "This information we have is very important; it can greatly increase your survival rate in the dungeons."

"If I join the official organization, what will I need to do? What will I have to give?" Mu Rufeng inquired further.

"You don't have to give much. You'll just do some simple work, similar to what we're doing now."

"If you encounter official players in a dungeon, help them if you can. Of course, they will also help you," Zhou Wen explained.

Mu Rufeng didn't answer, seemingly contemplating something.

His cheat had been uninstalled during the reward settlement.

However, he knew that this cheat only loaded when he entered a dungeon.

Furthermore, it seemed that each dungeon would have a new cheat template.

His possession of a cheat was something that absolutely could not be known to others.

Just then, Cheng Youlin spoke up, "Join the official organization! The benefits are great. As soon as you're hired, you'll immediately get the nine insurances and two gold funds."

"You'll also be allocated housing, which will be transferred to your name as soon as you become an LV2 player."

"The basic monthly salary is ten thousand yuan, plus bonuses and commissions, along with various subsidies. On average, it's at least fifteen thousand per month. Every time you level up, your salary, bonuses, commissions, and subsidies will directly double."

"If you have children, tuition and miscellaneous fees for their schooling will be completely waived. If you reach LV2, they can be directly admitted to the best schools in the city, excluding university."

When these benefits were laid out by Cheng Youlin, Mu Rufeng's eyes lit up.

Without any hesitation, Mu Rufeng immediately said, "Okay, I'll join the Relevant Department."

Mu Rufeng swore to the heavens that he was absolutely not joining for the benefits.

"Welcome to our branch," Zhou Wen said, extending his hand with a smile.

Mu Rufeng shook his hand with a smile as well. "Um, how big is the apartment? How many rooms and living rooms? What's the common area square footage?"

"Heh, no need to rush. Someone will follow up with you later."

"For now, download an app. I'll give you an invitation code," Zhou Wen said.

"An app?" Mu Rufeng replied noncommittally.

Just then, Zhou Wen's phone suddenly rang.

"Hello, Minister."

"What? Are you sure? Lao Hei and the others went too? Alright, I'll bring people over immediately."

"Yes, he cleared the dungeon and has already joined our Relevant Department."

"Okay, I'll tell you the details later."

Zhou Wen hung up the phone, his expression turning somewhat solemn.

"Team Zhou, what's wrong? Is there a situation?" Qu Lianhong inquired.

"Oh man, I wanted to rest for a bit, but now I have to work overtime," Cheng Youlin complained.

"You two, come with me. Xiao Mu, you just finished the dungeon, you must be tired."

"I'll arrange for someone to take you to our safe house to rest. The person taking you will tell you information about the dungeon."

"This is my number. If you need anything, just call me."

Zhou Wen took a business card and handed it to Mu Rufeng, then he, along with Qu Lianhong and Cheng Youlin, left in a hurry.

Mu Rufeng watched the three leave, scratching his cheek, feeling a bit lost.

He glanced at the business card. Nice, very high-class.

It was a dark card with no flashy titles, just a name and a phone number.

The back of the card showed a starry sky.

Mu Rufeng saved the number as a contact and then subconsciously searched for it on WeChat.

"I'm a salted fish?" Mu Rufeng looked at the username and the bizarre salted fish avatar, finding it hard to believe this was the very serious Team Zhou's WeChat account.

Just then, a man in a suit walked in.

"Mr. Mu, hello. My name is Zhao Dayong, and I'm an employee of the Relevant Department. I'll take you to our department's safe house to rest first."

"As for the information you want to know, I'll tell you everything once we get to the safe house," Zhao Dayong said.

"Alright, let's go then," Mu Rufeng nodded.
