I Can Transform Into a World-Destroying Colossal Beast-Chapter 75: Divine Origin

At six in the evening, Jiang Hou was carrying two bags of fruits and drinks, walking behind. Ahead of him, a girl with a loose ponytail was bouncing along lightly.

Divine Palace Feirou’s house was a few streets away from theirs, so they didn’t take a car as it was only a ten-minute walk.

Walking along the road, Jiang Hou noticed that everyone seemed not too bothered about the upcoming lockdown for tomorrow. In fact, they were a bit excited about the two-day paid leave.

Of course, except those in the old city district facing real monsters.

At this moment, the girl ahead turned back and shouted to the distracted Jiang Hou, "Jiang Hou, hurry up."

"Coming." Jiang Hou responded and quickened his pace.

In the midst of the old streets, where noise faded into tranquility, a girl with headphones around her neck was already waiting outside a small courtyard. Upon seeing Qin Siyu from afar, she waved at her.

"Yu."

"Rourou, we’re here," Qin Siyu ran over joyfully, and the two girls began chatting lively.

When Jiang Hou approached, the girl, who was happily talking to Qin Siyu just now, suddenly seemed a bit nervous and said, "Jiang Tongxue, welcome to visit."

"Shengong Tongxue, sorry to bother you," Jiang Hou smiled slightly.

After exchanging greetings, Jiang Hou followed Divine Palace Feirou through the courtyard, entering the living room. Instantly, the aroma of food wafted through, and the dining table was already filled with dishes.

"Sis, Yu and her friends are here," the girl with headphones said in a cheerful, somewhat happy tone.

"Welcome."

Divine Palace Feiyue, with a pretty face but slightly tanned skin, walked out of the kitchen. Her eyes flickered slightly when she saw Qin Siyu and then turned to look at Divine Palace Feirou.

The girl was immediately a bit nervous.

But before Divine Palace Feirou could say anything, Divine Palace Feiyue already looked at Jiang Hou and said with a smile, "Jiang Tongxue, your name has appeared on the forum several times these days, and today I finally meet you in person."

"I’ve admired Senior Sister Shengong for a long time as well," Jiang Hou said politely, given that the girl in front of him was a Tier Five Powerhouse.

Moreover, because Divine Palace Feiyue was only one or two years older than them and still in her first year of college, Jiang Hou called her "Senior Sister" instead of a more distant title like "senior" or "miss."

"Jiang Hou, you know each other?" Qin Siyu was somewhat surprised.

"I forgot to tell you, the president of the club I joined is a member of ’Heaven’s Punishment.’ Through her introduction..." Jiang Hou briefly explained how he joined ’Heaven’s Punishment.’

"As a result, I saw Senior Sister Shengong’s name on the member list of ’Heaven’s Punishment,’ but as she said, today is indeed our first meeting."

"Heaven’s Punishment."

Qin Siyu was a bit curious, "Then doesn’t that mean, Jiang Hou, you are officially enlisted, being a Transcendent with formal status, your monthly salary should be quite decent, right?"

Salary...?

Jiang Hou was taken aback, right, even though he had joined Heaven’s Punishment for a while, he hadn’t seen any mention of salary... Well, not quite, it hadn’t been long, just over half a month.

But indeed, he hadn’t seen anything mentioning salary.

Jiang Hou looked at Divine Palace Feiyue, "Senior Sister Shengong, speaking of which, do we formal members have a salary?"

"Yes."

Divine Palace Feiyue nodded and explained, "Heaven’s Punishment is a large organization, primarily divided into logistics, research, intelligence, support, and main combat departments."

"Both the support and main combat departments are composed of Transcendents, and the basic salary is the same, with Tier One at five thousand per month, Tier Two at ten thousand, Tier Three at thirty thousand, and Tier Four at one hundred thousand."

"Apart from the basic salary, the points earned by completing tasks can be exchanged for various resources, equipment, and weapons, or can be converted into money."

"Currently, the official exchange rate for 1 point is 1:1000, while on the underground market it’s around 5000."

"A gap from one thousand to five thousand is quite significant, and the officials actually allow points to circulate in the underground market?" Jiang Hou was a bit surprised.

Divine Palace Feirou smiled and said, "If the water is too clear, there will be no fish. Plus, everyone’s pursuits are different; not all Awakened are resolute, pursuing only power."

"So the circulation of points is considered a benefit for some members, motivating them for extra tasks while benefiting their families."

"And releasing resources through the black market prevents those outside the officials’ jurisdiction from falling into despair, minimizing disturbances by providing channels to acquire resources."

Hearing this, Jiang Hou’s eyes revealed a peculiar look.

Although the officials have indeed thought this through thoroughly, after hearing it, it feels like there’s an official backing behind this Extraordinary black market.

While talking, the four of them sat down at the dining table.

Divine Palace Feiyue smiled and said, "Rourou said you like heavier flavors, so today I made Sichuan dishes. Since it’s my first time, the taste might not be perfect."

But despite saying so, the food was exceptionally delicious today, hardly believable it was someone’s first attempt at this cuisine.

"Come, let’s toast with drinks as substitutes for alcohol, to celebrate our acquaintance."

"In the vast sea of people, being able to know each other is a kind of fate."

"Cheers!"

Being young people, they soon relaxed, with Qin Siyu and Divine Palace Feirou’s laughter frequently resonating at the table.

When the meal was nearly finished, Divine Palace Feiyue’s expression turned serious, "Junior Brother Jiang, I have a suggestion regarding the day after tomorrow."

"...Senior Sister, please go ahead."

"The day after tomorrow, we have important tasks, but since both our homes are not far from the old city district, they might be affected. At that time, I suggest that Yu comes over to stay with Rou."

"Rou has a few one-time Extraordinary Items I gave her, providing some self-defense should danger arise, what do you think?"

Jiang Hou turned to look at Qin Siyu, but the girl merely blinked at him, clearly leaving the decision to him.

"Then I’ll trouble Shengong Tongxue to take care of Siyu," Jiang Hou replied politely, without refusing.

He had seen such special items available for ordinary people on the exchange page. They were rare, with varying strengths, and most importantly, they were expensive, beyond his current reach.

Moreover, with Feitong around, although suppressed by the world, the kitty could still briefly unleash its full power.

Therefore, after he leaves the night after tomorrow, he wasn’t too worried about Qin Siyu’s safety. However, having her stay with Divine Palace Feirou added an extra layer of protection, which was good.

After dinner, Jiang Hou and Qin Siyu said their goodbyes and left.

It was around eight o’clock in the evening, and while the streets were still bustling and lively, there was a hint of chaos, with police cars passing by occasionally to prevent disturbances.

Suddenly, Qin Siyu turned to the boy beside her and asked, "Jiang Hou, do you have to go help the day after tomorrow?"

She wasn’t particularly excited about Jiang Hou becoming a Transcendent. When she first learned about the risk of pollution mortality, she only felt fear and heartache. Luckily, Jiang Hou pulled through.

And today, upon knowing that he had joined Heaven’s Punishment and would face monsters in the mission the day after tomorrow, she was inevitably a bit worried.

Jiang Hou patted the girl’s head, his voice gentle, "Don’t worry, I’m a Tier Four Powerhouse now; even if I encounter danger, I can retreat safely."

"And the space impact the day after tomorrow is low in intensity, so even if creatures appear, they would be only low-tier monsters, nothing major."

"Is that so? That’s good, but still, be careful, okay?" the girl reminded him.

"Mm."

Meanwhile, back at the Shengong Family, after Jiang Hou and the others had left, Divine Palace Feirou hesitated and said, "Sis, I recently condensed a Divine Origin for Yu."

"Yu is really nice, and with the frequent pollution in Yidu lately, I’m worried something might happen to her..."

"I sensed it."

Before Divine Palace Feirou could finish, Divine Palace Feiyue softly said, "Don’t worry about me being angry; it’s your soul’s purified power. It’s up to you to decide who deserves it."

"However, condensing the Divine Origin takes a toll on your soul, plus activating the Ancient Angel’s Feather. Try not to use it lightly in the future."

"The Demon Dragon Divine Hall has been searching for us these past few years. Although we’re within Heaven’s Punishment’s territory, it could be troublesome if they lock onto the Angel’s Feather."

Divine Palace Feirou nodded, "Mm, I understand. I’ll try not to use that power lightly in the future." 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮
