Seeing Su Nan again and comparing him to yesterday, the three of them seemed like completely different people, and their attitude towards him had clearly become a lot more respectful.

Even their address had changed from Director Zhang to Director Sir.

And behind the three, more than twenty members of the Demon Hunting Bureau looked on with complicated expressions.

It wasn’t their fault, who could have imagined that an early-stage Spirit-level martial artist could actually have the strength to kill a peak Spirit-level

demon?

Early in the morning, they had received news.

Last night, their newly-appointed director single-handedly fought from

Wutong Road to Shuangliu Street.

A mid-stage Spirit-level demon and a peak Spirit-level demon had both died at his hands.

Moreover, both were killed with a single blow!

Initially they had not believed the news.

Their first thought was that it was a mistake.

After all, in their eyes, their new director was only an early-stage Spirit-level martial artist, and it was a question whether he could survive the night.

How could he have possibly killed a peak Spirit-level demon?

But soon, more information came in, and they had no choice but to start believing.

“Yes, I killed them.” Su Nan nodded.

At his words, the three of them, even if they had been well-prepared, couldn’t help but gasp in surprise.

An early-stage Spirit-leveling strength, slaying a peak Spirit-level demon?

Wasn’t that being invincible among his peers?

Where did this monster come from?

And behind the three of them, the other members of the Demon Hunting Bureau, upon hearing Su Nan’s words, also looked somewhat astonished.

“Director Sir, may we take a look at the bodies of the demons you’ve killed?” Among the three, a female martial artist named Chen Su asked.

As she spoke, she seemed to think of something, and hurriedly said, “Please don’t misunderstand, Lord, we just need to follow the usual procedure and

register the kills.”

“All demons killed by our Demon Hunting Bureau have to be registered, and afterwards demon-slaying points are issued based on their level.”

“Demon-slaying points? What are they used for?” Su Nan asked.

“Lord, you don’t know?” Chen Su asked in surprise.

Su Nan shook his head. He had been temporarily appointed, and the governor had not mentioned anything, nor did he ask any questions about it himself.

He joined the Demon Hunting Bureau for a game’s regional task and might quit as soon as the task was over. He didn’t care about these things.

Among the three of them, the only young man named Ma Qiang explained: “Demon-slaying Points are a kind of welfare in our Demon Hunting Bureau.

With them, we can exchange for various treasures from the Bureau’s Treasure Vault.”

“Your points earned from killing demons can even be exchanged for treasures in the Governor Mansion’s treasure vault.”

“To attract martial artists to join us, we established this system when the

Demon Hunting Bureau was first established.”

“Apart from the fixed amount of demon essence and blood we receive every month, the bodies of the demons we kill can be dealt with by ourselves, and we can also gain additional demon-slaying points.

Su Nan nodded in understanding, saying, “Since you all have benefits, what benefits do I as Director have?”

The three exchanged glances and Zhu Chen shook his head, saying, “We have no knowledge of that.”

He paused and then added, “I once heard the former director mention that, besides the basic rewards we receive, there seems to be an opportunity to go to the imperial court once a year to receive a bloodline baptism.”

“Bloodline baptism?” Su Nan made a mental note of it.

Seeing the ignorant expressions on their faces, it was clear they didn’t know what a bloodline baptism was, he didn’t ask any further. He then brought out the bodies of the two demons he had killed the previous night.

“It’s really Pig Bi and Fish Hag!”

-These two have been on the Demon Hunting List for a long time, but we have never been able to kill them.”

Looking at the shock and fear that remained on the faces of the two demons even after death, the hearts of the three were filled with tumultuous emotions.

Now that the demon corpses were laid out before their eyes, they had completely surrendered in heart and mouth.

What they did not know was that at this moment, Su Nan was also carrying the corpse of a Xuan-level demon.

If they knew that, they might have been even more astonished.

-Pig Bi is a mid-stage Spirit-level demon, worth 24 demon-slaying points, and Fish Hag is a peak Spirit-level demon, worth 96 points, so you have earned a total of 120 points, Lord.”

Zhu Chen took out a palm-sized bronze mirror and shimmered it over the bodies of the two demons.

Then, a number appeared on the mirror, and in front of the number was Su Nan’s current role name, Zhang Yang.

“120 points?”

Thinking about something, Su Nan asked, “How many demon-slaying points would a Xuan-level demon be worth?”

Zhu Chen didn’t think much about it and explained, “Early-stage Mortal-level demons are worth 1 point, mid-stage 2 points, late-stage 4 points, and peak stage 8 points.”

“Early-stage Spirit-level demons are worth 16 points, mid-stage 24 points, late-stage 48 points, and peak stage 96 points.

“Early-stage Xuan-level demons are worth 192 points, mid-stage 384 points, late-stage 768 points, and peak stage 1536 points!

At these words, Su Nan nodded his head and said, “I see, as the demon’s level increases by one stage, the demon-slaying points rewarded are doubled.” “That’s right,” Zhu Chen nodded, then handed the mirror in his hand to Su Nan and said, “This is the Spirit Mirror used by our Demon Hunting Bureau to record demon-slaying points. In the past, it was kept by the director. But since the death of the former director, I’ve been temporarily taking care of it.

“Now that you’re here, Director Sir, it’s for you to look after.”

Su Nan took it, glanced at the mirror curiously, and then handed it back to Zhu Chen, saying, “No need, you can keep it.

The mirror was related to the Demon Hunting Bureau’s reward system and would be frequently used.

As a player, he wouldn’t always be at the Demon Hunting Bureau, nor would he be constantly logged into the game.

“By the way, which demon killed the former director?” Su Nan asked.

Ma Qiang replied, “It was a mid-Xuan level demon called Purple Armor, who serves the White Water Demon King.”

“Two years ago, the former director fought a fierce battle with another powerful demon. Just when he was about to return after winning, he was ambushed by Purple Armor and ultimately died..”
