Although he didn't know exactly what the "City Guardian" in the notes meant, Chen Mochuan immediately understood that the money must be the government reward for killing the ferocious rats.

The review process for this bonus only took four or five days, which is considered quite efficient by official standards.

Moreover, he had specifically checked beforehand that the municipal reward for killing a ferocious rat was normally only 40,000, but now it had suddenly become 80,000, which must be because Liang Wenbin had helped him secure a doubled reward.

Looking at the nearly 100,000 yuan balance in his account, he smiled slightly and couldn't help but sigh that he could now be considered a "rich person" in a way.

Just as he was about to turn off his personal terminal, a call came in from an unknown number.

"Hello, this is the Municipal Public Security Bureau. Are you Mr. Chen Mochuan?"

"I am."

"We'd like to confirm whether you have just received an $80,000 municipal bonus?"

"received."

"Okay, thank you for your confirmation... Regarding the previous case of the 'murderous rat,' there are some follow-up matters that require your assistance. We would like to trouble you to come to the Municipal Public Security Bureau's Special Operations Unit office around 3 PM today for in-person confirmation and supplementary registration. Is that a convenient time for you?"

"Three points are fine. May I ask what exactly happened? My statement should have already been taken."

"I'm sorry, your colleague who received you will explain the details to you. My main responsibility is to ensure that the information is communicated effectively."

After hanging up the call, Chen Mochuan's expression was a bit strange. He thought that the case of the murderous rat would end after receiving the government reward, but he didn't expect that there was still a loose end. He didn't know what the situation was.

At 3 p.m., he arrived at the Municipal Bureau on time as agreed.

After completing visitor registration at the front desk of the main building of the Municipal Bureau, he followed the instructions and arrived at the Special Operations Brigade's office located on the side of the compound.

Because the Special Operations Unit is a police department that specializes in handling special cases involving ferocious beasts, illegal martial artists, and martial arts masters, it has a high level of authority and therefore owns its own independent office building.

He was received by Li Feng, an old acquaintance. Li Feng told him that Liang Wenbin was originally supposed to be in charge of contacting him, but Liang had an urgent mission that afternoon and had already gone out on duty.

Li Feng led Chen Mochuan into a reception room, took out a badge that had been prepared in advance from a drawer, and handed it to him.

"Xiao Chen, in recognition of your killing of the lurking ferocious rat and the elimination of a major security threat to Antu City, although we cannot publicly commend you, after unanimous discussion between the police and municipal departments, we have decided to award you the honorary title of 'City Guardian,' and hereby present this badge!"

Chen Mochuan took the silver badge, which was about half the size of his palm. On the front, there were four powerful characters that read "City Guardian" in relief. Below the characters, there was a lifelike dragon pattern as the background.

He flipped the badge over; a long string of numbers was engraved on the back. It didn't seem to be a simple serial number, but rather some kind of code with a specific function.

Li Feng explained with a smile, "Xiao Chen, being a 'City Guardian' is not only an honor, but also comes with a real benefit."

Seeing Chen Mochuan's puzzled expression, he gestured, "Bring the badge close to your personal terminal, and you'll understand."

Chen Mochuan did as instructed. The moment the badge and the terminal touched, a loading progress bar appeared on the terminal. If he hadn't been in the Special Operations Team's office building and hadn't been with Li Feng, he would have thought his personal terminal had been infected with a virus and would have shut it down immediately.

After patiently waiting for the loading bar to finish, a successful authentication page popped up on the terminal's projection screen, displaying the string of numbers on the back of the badge, as well as his name and citizen identification number, indicating that the identity binding had been completed.

Under Li Feng's guidance, Chen Mochuan entered another interface, which listed all kinds of items.

"This is an internal supply exchange platform that connects with the military and police system," Li Feng explained. "Most of the items on it are special supplies that are difficult to buy on the external market. Of course, there are also some general supplies, but you can usually enjoy internal discounts when you buy them here."

"There are many cultivation resources on the platform that should be useful to you. You have gained certain access privileges through your badge and can place orders freely... Of course, with your current access level, you can only see a portion of the products, but it is more than enough for the cultivation needs of a martial artist."

Listening to Li Feng's introduction, Chen Mochuan browsed the interface and quickly understood the value of this "benefit." He immediately saw the price of the [Muscle Regeneration and Blood Circulation Ointment]: 60,000 yuan.

This is a quarter cheaper than the market price of 80,000 yuan!

He then quickly scanned other products and couldn't help but marvel at the sheer number of items on the page, some costing tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of dollars, many of which were completely unfamiliar to him.

Soon, he spotted a familiar item: [Boiling Blood Beast Jerky - 1.5g (Out of Stock): 51,000 yuan (Price may fluctuate with market conditions)]

When he ate this dried meat, he guessed that it might cost over 10,000 yuan, but he didn't expect that he was still too naive. The actual price far exceeded his expectations, and it was one of the few items on the platform that was not discounted.

However, the product status shows "out of stock," and it's not just Boiling Blood Beast jerky; most ferocious beast meat products are out of stock. It's unclear whether this type of resource is too sought after or if the supply is simply extremely scarce.

As Chen Mochuan continued browsing, he discovered that the prices of the goods here were generally high, but there were still some within his current spending power.

For example, the [Wuzheng Blood Essence Elixir] that he is currently using is priced at 12 yuan here, which is equivalent to 000% of the market price. If he buys it here regularly, he can save a lot of money.

During his browsing, one item caught Chen Mochuan's attention: [Nourishing Spirit Pill (Out of Stock): 500,000 (Limited to 1 pill per six months)]

He didn't pay much attention to the expensive and unfamiliar item at first, but when his eyes swept over its brief description, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

[One can cultivate their spirit during the martial artist stage, which can enhance their mental strength to a certain extent.]

This Spirit Nourishing Pill can actually enhance a martial artist's mental strength! It's exactly what Chen Mochuan needs right now.

However, its price of 500,000 instantly brought him to his senses, making him realize that this item was currently beyond his reach.

When he received the bonus in the morning, he felt much more financially secure. In addition, he could earn some income from training with Zhang Mingcheng every week, so he shouldn't have much financial pressure in the short term.

But at this moment, Chen Mochuan realized that if he wanted to go further and faster on the path of martial arts, he had to find ways to develop more and more effective sources of income.
