God-Like Extraction Chapter 331 - Sky-High Bounty

Chapter 331: Sky-High Bounty

“This position is a little special.”

Wu Shouhan gave him a heads up and explained, “Little Su, it’s not too late to agree after you’ve thought it through.”

“It’s fine, Uncle Wu. Go ahead,” Su Jingxing said eagerly.

“Alright then.”

Seeing this, Wu Shouhan no longer hesitated. “The official t.i.tle is called ‘Dragon Seeking Envoy’!”

“Dragon Seeking Envoy?” Su Jingxing was puzzled. Since when did the Yu Nation have such a strange position?

“Yes, Dragon Seeking Envoy.”

Wu Shouhan explained, “This position was set up according to the special nature of the crematorium from the very beginning. However, it wasn’t called Dragon Seeking Envoy at first. Instead, it was called Corpse Seeking Envoy. As the name suggested, it was a person who searched for corpses!

“Understood.” Su Jingxing nodded.

After the Extraterrestrial Devil Insect descended, corpses buried underground that had not rotted into bones would be turned into Corpse Puppets, causing a huge disaster.

In order to eliminate the influence of the Corpse Puppets, the various countries started from the source, which was to burn the corpses.

Corpses in the city were easy to find, but not necessarily so for those outside the city.

The corpses that people had secretly buried had yet to decompose into bones so they had to be found and cremated.

For that, the government dispatched personnel to specially search for corpses.

However, the wild was dangerous, and few people were willing to stay outside for a long time.

Corpse Seeking Envoys were quickly born in such an environment.

Every Corpse Seeking Envoy had a certain level of martial strength, specialized equipment, high benefits, and good remuneration.

“At first, there were many Corpse Seeking Envoys, but in a few years, all the corpses that had to be dug up in the wild were dug up. Corpse Seeking Envoys were no longer in demand. However, at that time, the Beast Spirit Devil Insect caused the birth of Mutated Beasts, so Corpse Seeking Envoys conveniently transitioned to become Beast Seeking Envoys.

“Unlike Corpse Seeking Envoys, being a Beast Seeking Envoy was more dangerous. Although they didn’t have to capture Mutated Beasts alive and just had to provide clues about them, a bunch of people still left.

“For the remaining Beast Seeking Envoys, in order to appease them, the officials will boosted the remuneration again. Moreover, they removed the monthly quotas and changed them to annual ones. In other words, you just had to provide a clue about a Mutated Beast within a year.

“Just like that, the Beast Seeking Envoys lasted for more than ten years. Until the appearance of the Dragon Piercing Devil Insect and the Silver Dragon of Creation, the Beast Seeking Envoys became the Dragon Seeking Envoys again!

“The remuneration for the Dragon Seeking Envoys was infinitely better. All the benefits of the previous Beast Seeking Envoys have been reduced to a basic salary. If Dragon Seeking Envoys find any clues regarding the Dragon Piercing Devil Insect and the Silver Dragon of Creation, they will receive another 100 million dollars as a reward, as well as high-level martial arts, spirit weapons, pills, and other benefits. Moreover, there is no time limit, just one request.

“Continuously provide a clue of one Mutated Beast or Extraterrestrial Devil Insect every year.

“Once this remuneration was announced, the Dragon Seeking Envoy immediately became a popular position. Every city had a bunch of people vying for it. However, good times don’t last long. The Dragon Piercing Devil Insect and the Silver Dragon of Creation have not appeared for more than ten years. The same goes for Mutated Beasts.

“The Dragon Seeking Envoy slowly became a dispensable position. Until now, the position is still there, but the people are gone.

“Little Su, since you’re in the seventh-grade, you’ll be able to protect yourself when you go in the wild occasionally. If you’re lucky and find clues about the Mutated Beast, your mission for that year will be completed.

“The position of Dragon Seeking Envoy is considered a sixth-grade official. Under normal circ.u.mstances, they don’t have much authority. However, if they discover Mutated Beasts or Extraterrestrial Devil Insects, they can mobilize any department to cooperate with them.

“The Public Security Team, the Martial Suppression Office, the City Defense Guard, and the garrison, any one!

“The position of Dragon Seeking Envoy in Qinghe City has been vacant for several years. Little Su, if you’re willing, I’ll recommend you for the test. You’ll be able to a.s.sume the post in two days at most.”

Wu Shouhan looked at Su Jingxing and suggested.

“…I’ll have to trouble you then, Uncle Wu.” Su Jingxing pondered for a moment and nodded.

Dragon Seeking Envoy, searching for clues about Mutated Beasts and Extraterrestrial Devil Insects.

Of course, his main mission would be to find the Dragon Piercing Devil Insect and the Silver Dragon of Creation.

The former was a powerful Extraterrestrial Devil Insect. Its entire body was covered in spikes, and its shape was like the legendary dragon race. However, it contained a special tissue in its body. It was a rare treasure similar to bull or sheep t.e.s.t.i.c.l.es. It was said pills refined using them could allow one could break through realms after consumption.

Not to mention the spikes of the Dragon Piercing Devil Insect. Every spike was comparable to a spirit weapon, and the flesh was rich in energy.

As for the Silver Dragon of Creation, it was a Mutated Beast that had mutated because of the Beast Spirit Devil Insect. It resembled a dragon and had the heaven-defying ability to create things out of thin air, return from death, and regrow severed limbs.

Countless people wanted to find these two “dragons”, and the government was no exception.

Su Jingxing wasn’t interested in looking for them. In any case, it was fine as long as he could provide clues about Mutated Beasts.

He only needed to provide one clue a year. He could get the Giant Silver-Winged Wolf to cooperate.

Su Jingxing didn’t care about the other benefits.

The position of the Dragon Seeking Envoy was enough!

“Alright, we’ll go settle the procedures now.”

When Wu Shouhan heard this, he said enthusiastically, “I’ll write a recommendation letter and settle this immediately.”

“Thank you, Uncle Wu.” Su Jingxing thanked him.

“What are you thanking me for, kid? Although you’ve become a Dragon Seeking Envoy, you’re still a part of my crematorium!” Wu Shouhan sat back in his chair and began to write a recommendation letter.

Su Jingxing smiled. “Of course.”

The Dragon Seeking Envoy was his official job, so his job at the crematorium would become a part-time one.

To Su Jingxing, it didn’t matter which was full-time and which was part-time.

In any case, neither of these posts restricted him in terms of time or rules.

…

After Wu Shouhan finished writing the recommendation letter, Su Jingxing held it in his hand.

The two of them left for the city.

When they walked out of the office building, they found a group of people gathered at the entrance, discussing excitedly.

“What happened?”

Wu Shouhan stepped forward and asked with a frown.

Su Jingxing’s ears twitched as he listened to the conversation.

“Director.”

“Uncle Wu.”

“Captain Little Su!”

…

Seeing that it was Wu Shouhan and Su Jingxing, the crowd greeted them.

“Uncle Wu, we’re discussing a bounty for finding a person.”

A young man who was related to Wu Shouhan raised his phone and said excitedly, “Good fellow, the Jade Sword Sect is too generous this time. They offered an astronomical price just to find a seven-year-old boy.”

“Anyone who provides any useful clues will be rewarded with 100 million Great Yu dollars.

“If we find the target and know his exact location, it will be one billion Great Yu dollars.

“If we bring the target to the Jade Sword Sect, it will be 10 billion Great Yu dollars!”

“That high?” Wu Shouhan took the phone in surprise and looked at the bounty notice.

Su Jingxing leaned over and took a glance.

The bounty was offered by the Jade Sword Sect, one of the three major local sects in Qinghe City. They usually kept a low profile.

This time, they actually offered such a high bounty to find a seven-year-old boy.

There was a photo of the little boy in the post. Other than his handsome appearance, nothing else could be figured from it.

“Hold on.”

Suddenly, Wu Shouhan’s gaze paused on the words on the post.

“And three blood spirit weapons if he’s found alive?”
