Chapter 70 - 57: Debt Collection
Li Yi didn’t understand the affairs between Cultivators since just a month ago he was still your ordinary employee. Hence, he always sought advice from experienced individuals when indecisive.
Following others’ advice and guidance sometimes saved him from taking unnecessary detours.
However, no sooner had he finished speaking than Uncle Biao, who was beside him, immediately lit up and said, "Li Yi, did you say an investigator invited you to become an external agent for the bureau? That is great news, you must agree. This is a legitimate career with high pay and numerous opportunities. Most importantly, the bureau has your back if anything goes wrong."
"External agents often have to go on missions, won’t that affect my Cultivation?" Li Yi voiced his concern.
Lin Yue replied, "It all depends on what you prioritize. Joining the bureau as an external agent provides you with more systematic training. Although you’ll have to go on missions, you gain a stable source of income. That’s much better than being a guide, which is unstable. The reason I’ve only now decided to take the guide exam is because my Cultivation has slowed down, and I need a part-time job. Once you reach our stage, you can’t just focus on Cultivation; living is equally crucial."
"Li Yi, you’ve already noticed your Cultivation slowing down, right? Everyone experiences this. Once the speed of Cultivation progress slows, we need to shift our focus elsewhere. So, I still hope you accept this job to become an external agent."
Hearing this, Li Yi understood.
A stable job would benefit his future life, and joining the bureau could spare him many unnecessary troubles.
Although it meant going on missions, it seemed worthwhile in comparison.
"I possess a Mysterious Object, and although my Cultivation speed has slowed down compared to before, I haven’t reached my limit yet. I have significant room for improvement. Normally, I should continue Cultivating at home, but this opportunity is rare. I should take this job. As long as I work during the day and practice Cultivation at night, it won’t hinder me."
"Most importantly, I need an identity and a backing right now, otherwise, I’d be as powerless as I was this time. If I join the bureau, even if I offend someone, they’ll have to think twice."
