"In the middle of each month, her discharge pay will be deposited into the card she designated on time."

"Three months after you were discharged from the military, she came here with your PTSD and brain trauma test reports to apply for guardianship to collect your discharge benefits on your behalf."

"The process is legal and compliant."

The staff provided detailed information.

Since you've come to investigate, it means you're unclear about some of the details.

Logan nodded thoughtfully.

"My mental illness has been cured. Can my discharge pay be deposited into my bank account?"

"This requires a written certificate from a doctor."

"This is difficult... American hospitals are notoriously expensive."

Logan then asked:

"What if I want to get back the veteran's benefits that woman fraudulently claimed? I always thought I didn't have any veteran's benefits."

The woman opposite him had a bright look in her eyes; her eyes, which had been dull when she saw he had a wife, now shone brightly again.

"You'll need to hire a lawyer to sue her, and then get the money back from her after you get a court ruling in your favor."

This is yet another difficult problem.

"It seems a bit more difficult. That bitch could just feign pitifulness and evoke pity from the judge and jury..."

"Why can't you do anything about her?"

"No way! If I can't get my discharge pay, she can't get it either!"

"Can I suspend my veteran's benefits?"

The woman pondered for a moment.

"In principle, it's not allowed, but your situation is special. Are you sure your wife has fraudulently claimed your veteran's benefits?"

"I'm pretty sure she's having an affair with her Black lover and has kicked me out of the house."

"I get it... a slut who likes black people."

The woman shook her head slightly, her face full of sympathy.

"I can make an application to the manager, and it should be able to stop before next month's discharge pay."

"Thank you."

"This is my duty."

If you forget her previous addiction to short videos and her terrible customer service attitude, she is still a good employee.

Logan felt completely lost.

"The cheapest litigator in Seattle charges over $6000 for a case, while a mental health evaluation and psychological assessment by a doctor costs around $3000."

"Based on a $10000 estimate, I currently have $500. With that meager salary and the unpredictable side hustle of collecting corpses, it will take me at least a month and a half to save up that much, and then there's the months-long legal battle."

"It will take at least six months to get the money."

"I can't wait that long!"

He pondered for several seconds, and then suddenly had a flash of inspiration.

"I was so stupid!"

"I'm a person with a system now!"

Why bother taking the usual path?

"Khorne, Nurgle, Slaanesh, Tengachis—I have four ways to accomplish this!"

With his mind at ease and his anxiety dissipating, Logan no longer worried about the matter, only waiting for an upgrade to gain an ability that could be used to deal with that bitch.

"By the way, how much is my discharge pay per month?"

The woman had already filled out the application form. After checking the computer, she replied:

"You have a wife and two serious illnesses that require care, so the federal veterans' benefits are higher, at $2000 a month."

"I see."

Logan was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected it to be so tall.

"To be honest, there are quite a lot of them."

"But in reality, it's probably even more than that; this is definitely the amount after exploitation."

"Your application has been submitted. We've added each other's contact information. I'll call you once the manager approves it."

She had clearly been waiting for this moment for a long time, and if she were to stick her tongue out as well, it would be very fitting for the occasion.

They exchanged phone numbers.

"My name is Lucy, and I'm free after I get off work at 6 p.m."

As she spoke, she winked, her meaning quite clear.

Unfortunately...

"I'm completely unavailable after 6 PM."

"Okay, I'll treat you to a meal sometime."

"When?"

Lucy was so excited she almost jumped up, seemingly surprised that the other person was so proactive in asking her out.

"Damn it! I forgot again that Americans don't stand on ceremony!"

"Hmm...how about tomorrow at noon?"

Logan casually gave a time.

"Great! Perfect, I'm not on duty tomorrow at noon!"

The pleasant inquiry has now come to an end.

Lucy added a handsome guy's contact information.

Logan, on the other hand, has temporarily retained his remaining severance pay.

He walked out of the lobby, preparing to go to work.

[Received the blessing of Slaanesh: Desensitization to Addiction]

[Addiction desensitization: You will no longer be addicted to any addictive substances, frequent headaches that were temporarily suppressed by your body will be permanently resolved, and you will no longer be overly sensitive to various stimuli. This is not sensory desensitization; you can still perceive them.]

Logan then realized that he hadn't had a headache for several days.

It turned out that the blessing from the loving father had temporarily suppressed it.

It must be the soothing effect of the "fatigue tide" from the "pus tide" or the comprehensive physical upgrade brought about by the "blood gushing".

But none of that matters anymore; his painkiller addiction is now completely cured.

As for the latter part of this upgrade, it should be related to the leafy flavor.

I'll try it out at the store later.
