The First Marquis of Daxuan

Chapter 38: Class Leader (Please read, collect, and vote for the monthly recommendation ticket)
[Name: Su Mu]

[Identity: Constable (officer)]

[Points: 115 points]

[Kung Fu: Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method (Minor Success)]

[Martial Arts: Fu Bo Sword Skills (Perfect), Archery (Beginner/+)]

At midnight, the points earned yesterday were settled. Su Mu blinked to make sure he was not mistaken.

"Could it be that because I solved the murder case, my 'performance' increased significantly? It actually increased by thirty points."

Su Mu thought with some surprise.

In the past, the maximum I could get per day was only fifteen points, but yesterday it skyrocketed to thirty points.

Apart from killing the murderer, he really couldn't think of any other reason.

"30 points a day. At this rate, I can earn 300 points in six or seven days."

Su Mu thought with some excitement.

However, he also knew that there were not many opportunities to solve a family massacre like yesterday.

If you want to permanently increase the speed at which you earn points, you still have to upgrade your status.

"Soon. Once I become the team leader, the speed at which I earn points may increase."

Su Mu thought to himself, "But if I become the squad leader, I will be eligible to enter and leave the inner city. I can go to the Taiping Division to find Brother Taiping. He promised me a future that should be higher than the position of the squad leader."

Nine months have passed since I received the Fu Bo Sword Technique from Brother Taiping.

During these nine months, Su Mu's life has undergone tremendous changes.

He changed from a refugee to a constable of Nancheng Division. He mastered the Fubo sword technique and also cultivated the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Technique to a small level of success.

Soon, he will be able to become a team leader.

After spending so much time and putting in so much effort, he finally gained a foothold in Wuling City and was finally able to stand in front of Brother Taiping.

…………

boom!
boom!
boom!
Su Mu was awakened by a rapid knock on the door.

He subconsciously grabbed the long knife in his hand and then opened the door.

As soon as he opened the door, he heard a burst of firecrackers and white smoke with a smell of gunpowder blew in his face.

Su Mu was startled and almost chopped with his knife.

Fortunately, he saw some familiar faces in time.

"Congratulations to Subantou, congratulations to Subantou, you will have a bright future!"

A constable dressed in black shouted in a loud voice.

Congratulations rang in Su Mu's ears.

Su Mu knew some of them, such as his colleagues in Nanchengsi, the mayor of Guangfufang where he lived, and some neighbors he had met before.

"Team Leader Su, the department has officially appointed you. From today on, you will be the sixth team leader of our South City Department."

The constable named Wang Liu said with a smile on his face, "Captain Zhao specially asked me to bring you your new official uniform."

Su Mu took the new official uniform handed to him by Wang Liu. Although it was called an official uniform, it was actually not much different from the black uniform of a constable, except that there was a circle of cloud patterns embroidered on the collar.

Is this the squad leader?

Su Mu was pleasantly surprised.

He was still wondering yesterday whether He Yuxing and Zhao Ji would deliberately withhold the reward, but he didn't expect them to be so forthcoming this time.

"Subantou, your jurisdiction is Guangfufang."

Wang Liu continued.

Su Mu nodded absentmindedly.

He doesn't care about the jurisdiction.

Because he had no intention of being the team leader for long.

The squad leader is just a stepping stone for him. Without the identity of squad leader, he is not qualified to enter and leave the inner city at will.

He wanted to be a squad leader so much, firstly to increase the speed of earning points, and secondly to be able to enter the inner city and find Brother Taiping. With a better future, why would he care about a mere squad leader?
After changing into a new constable uniform and politely declining invitations to a banquet from several gangs, Su Mu, along with Wang Liu and others, headed towards the Nancheng Yamen.

When walking in the streets, neighbors all gave way and greeted us.

To them, the team leader was already a high-ranking figure in Guangfufang, Nancheng.

Liu Hongyu leaned against the door frame, watching Su Mu walk past the door without even looking at her. She bit her lip, her face full of dejection.

No wonder he had that expression when I asked him to be a servant. It turns out that he has already reached such a high position.

I must be ridiculous in his eyes.

Liu Hongyu felt a little regretful, but she also knew that she and Su Mu were from two different worlds.

…………

Ordinary detectives in Nancheng Division only have shared classrooms, but the squad leader can have his own room.

Because Su Mu's promotion was too sudden, his house was not ready yet.

"Team leader, please make do with it for two days. The room in the back row that belongs to the team leader will be ready soon."

Wang Liu helped Su Mu clean up a clean corner in the shared classroom and said with a smile, "According to the rules, there are ten constables and thirty police officers under the squad leader. When you are free, you can choose ten constables to follow you. As for the police officers, you have to recruit them yourself."

To put it bluntly, he, the squad leader, is now a lone commander.

Although He Yuxing and Zhao Ji happily promoted him to be the team leader, it was obvious that they were not prepared to let Su Mu take over comfortably.

Recruiting police officers is one thing, but selecting ten constables is not that easy.

No detective is willing to follow a squad leader without any foundation.

Besides, the detectives in Nanchengsi now have team leaders. Which team leader would let someone go easily?

Su Mu was almost certain that no matter who he chose, he would end up in failure.

That is to say, he often patrols at night for others and has a good relationship with the detectives, so Wang Liu reminded him implicitly.

Otherwise, his job as the team leader will become even more difficult.

"I want to go to the inner city. Do you know what procedures I need to go through?"

Su Mu pondered for a moment and asked.

"As long as you have the badge of the squad leader, you can enter and exit the inner city. No special procedures are required."

Wang Liu said, "But your badge is not ready yet, Subantou. If you want to enter the inner city now, you have to ask Sima to issue a document."

"How many days will it take to make the waist badge?"

Ask He Yuxing to open a document? Forget it.

He Yuxing probably doesn't have much of a favorable impression of him, and who knows how he might make things difficult for him.

And before the dust settled, Su Mu didn't want anyone to know his purpose of entering the inner city.

No matter where you are, there are always villains who deliberately ruin other people's future.

"Three to five days at most."

Wang Liu replied.

Three to five days.

Su Mu pondered in his heart, wondering how much points he could increase every day after becoming the team leader.

If I can practice the Golden Scale Skin Tempering Method to perfection, I will have more confidence when I meet Brother Taiping.

Even if you expect others to promote you, you must have enough strength.

Anyway, I have already waited for nine months, so it doesn’t matter if I wait a few more days.

"correct!"

Wang Liu suddenly slapped his head and whispered, "I almost forgot that a batch of contraband appeared in Nancheng recently. It seems that they came from Guangfufang. Captain Zhao asked you to investigate this matter."

"okay, I get it."

Su Mu said calmly.

Wang Liu saw that Su Mu didn't seem to take it seriously. His eyes flickered and he secretly observed the surroundings. Seeing that there was no one around, he lowered his voice and said, "The water in Guangfufang is very deep. Su Bantou, you should be careful."
