Chapter 34: A Human Is Less Than A Dog (II)

Li Hao blinked. My… wages?

“I’m a third rank inspector and earn one thousand star coins a month as an intern. After coming on full time, I received a huge raise to two thousand a month. If I get promoted to second rank after joining the law enforcement team, I’ll earn four thousand star coins a month!”

Four thousand a month was a respectable salary. Li Hao was single and cooked often—half a kilogram of high grade rice was only one coin. He’d already lived a pretty good life as an intern on one thousand star coins a month.

One fast food meal cost five coins. Even if he ate out three meals a day, that was only four hundred and fifty coins a month. His current salary more than covered life’s expenditures. If he was promoted to another rank, he would have to consider getting a wife to help him spend so much money.

“So you earn two thousand a month at current, do you?” Liu Long smiled oddly.

“Yes!”

“Do you know how much one cube of mysterious power goes for?”

“There’s a market for these things?” Li Hao started. These things could be sold?

“Not openly—there are many black markets!” Liu Long snorted. “The rich and powerful are just ordinary people at the end of the day. Not only do supernaturals possess immense battle strength, but they also live longer. Who doesn’t want to be one of them? However, the Night Watchers are the only official channel for ascension if one isn’t Heaven Favored. Underground markets naturally sprang up given the lack of legitimate means!”

The young man nodded with understanding. “Fair enough. If I had money and couldn’t cross over through orthodox methods, I might buy a ticket to becoming greater too!”

It was only to be expected! What a huge pity it would be if one had all that money but was still consigned to being mortal.
