Taming beasts is not as good as taming yourself

"Newcomer Wu Xiao, in recognition of your outstanding performance during the special training, you are hereby awarded 200 points."

"Newcomer Wu Xiao, in recognition of your outstanding performance during the mission, you are hereby awarded 300 points."

"Newcomer Wu Xiao, in recognition of your successful capture of an F-level wanted criminal, you are hereby awarded 500 points!"

……

When Wu Xiao opened the unread messages, a series of messages about points being credited to his account began to flood his screen. Wu Xiao counted them and found that he had received 3000 points in this wave.

However, none of the points credit notifications mentioned anything about the Descent Society. It could be said that Wu Xiao earned these points entirely through his own outstanding performance, and had absolutely nothing to do with the Descent Society.

In reality, the points reward Wu Xiao received was the reward for discovering and stopping members of the Descent Society. However, to prevent Wu Xiao from attracting the attention of the Descent Society, they found another reason to give him the points in batches.

It's thanks to Wu Xiao's outstanding performance that there weren't many reasons to reward him.

"3000 points, that would take 30 combat missions to accumulate that many." Looking at the number of over three thousand in the points column, Wu Xiao was excited.

Now that he has mastered the skin refining technique, the next step is to refine his flesh. This will require a considerable amount of resources. Once he enters the flesh refining realm, Wu Xiao's combat power will receive a huge boost.

The Skin Refining Realm enhances defense, while the Flesh Refining Realm directly increases strength. In particular, the power that Wu Xiao extracts from his spiritual energy comes from his muscles. If the Flesh Refining Realm is improved, it means that the power extracted from his spiritual energy will also become more abundant.

The Body Refining Realm itself can increase strength, and with the added pressure of mental energy, the increase in strength can be even stronger. This kind of two-stage improvement is exciting to think about.

However, while skin refining can be done through a blood crystal bath, Wu Xiao has not yet made any preparations for meat refining. Whether to continue using blood crystals or other extraordinary materials, whether to absorb them through a bath or to swallow them directly, all these require Wu Xiao to try them out repeatedly using a simulator.

Furthermore, in order for the simulator to record information about extraordinary materials, Wu Xiao also needs to exchange some for experiments, so 3000 points doesn't seem like a lot.

"Ding!"

As Wu Xiao pondered how to maximize the use of these 3000 points, another message appeared on the encyclopedia. Seeing that it wasn't a notification of points being credited to his account, Wu Xiao casually clicked on it.

"New recruit Wu Xiao, in recognition of your outstanding performance, you are hereby promoted to Level Two Security Officer!"

"Um?"

Upon seeing this message, Wu Xiao was taken aback. Level 2 Security Officer—this was a rank that only senior security officers could attain.

After joining the Public Security Bureau, Wu Xiao naturally learned about some basic information about the bureau, including the rank division of security officers.

The ranks in the Public Security Bureau can be divided into two types: security officers and security officers.

Each level has three sub-levels. After passing the newbie stage, you can become a Level 3 Security Officer, which is considered a formal member of the Security Bureau.

After several years of training and gaining rich experience in duty, one can be promoted to a Level 2 security officer, which is basically the upper limit for ordinary security officers.

Because not just anyone can reach the rank of Level 1 Security Officer; only elite members of the security force who have passed the bureau's assessment can reach this level.

Zhang Li is a Level 1 security officer, also known as an elite security officer. Above Level 1 security officers are security officers, who are also divided into three levels.

A Level 3 security officer is equivalent to a squad leader in the bureau. Instructor Yang Wukong and squad leader Pan Lu of the inspection team are both at this level.

This is merely a rank classification, not a combat strength classification. It doesn't mean that Yang Wukong, a third-level security officer, is stronger than Zhang Li, a first-level security guard. It simply means that Zhang Li isn't good at managing people, which is why he only reached the first-level security guard rank and didn't become a security officer.

In terms of compensation, Zhang Li, a first-level elite security officer, is better off than Yang Wukong, a third-level security officer, and is comparable to a second-level security officer.

The rank of Second-Level Sheriff is usually held by the head of a non-combat department within the Public Security Bureau, such as the Logistics and Equipment Department, the Personnel Department, or the Finance Department.

The four captains of the combat unit are first-level security officers, which is a high-ranking position in the security bureau, second only to the director and deputy director.

There are currently two deputy directors of the Public Security Bureau. One is the head of the Combat Department, who is also the direct superior of Zhou Shanhai and others.

Another is Professor Luo Ya from the kennel. Although she is not officially a deputy director, she enjoys the benefits of a deputy director.

Because the kennel is a higher-level department than the combat department, Roya, as the head of the kennel, naturally has a higher rank than others.

Finally, there's Tang Tingsong, the backbone of the Public Security Bureau and a top expert in Liuquan City.

Knowing the job classification of the Public Security Bureau, Wu Xiao was surprised that he had skipped the novice period and directly became a Level 2 security officer.

This promotion is not just a change of title; the corresponding benefits and authority will also be improved.

"Beep beep!"

As Wu Xiao was puzzled, the encyclopedia sounded again. This time, it wasn't a message coming in, but a communication request sent directly by Zhou Shanhai.

"Are you satisfied with this reward?" Zhou Shanhai's voice came through the communication. "I imagine you're wondering why you were promoted to Level Two Security Officer."

"yes!"

Wu Xiao nodded.

"So, let me ask you, with your current combat strength, would you still be interested in a Level 3 security officer position?" Zhou Shanhai asked.

The tasks assigned by the Public Security Bureau are divided into different levels, and each level requires a different rank of security officer. Level 3 security officers are basically assigned to ordinary patrol and investigation tasks, or to assist in combat missions.

Only Level 2 Security Officer combat missions are fully open to them, since those who can become Level 2 Security Officers are all veteran members.

However, Wu Xiao was clearly an exception. With his combat prowess and experience, he was in no way inferior to those veteran security guards. Keeping him at the level of a third-level security guard would be a waste of his talents. Therefore, Zhou Shanhai made an exception and promoted Wu Xiao to a higher level.

"Thank you so much, Captain Zhou!"

After understanding the reason, Wu Xiao was secretly pleased. Although he had 3000 points, he knew that the points would eventually run out, and he would have to earn them himself. Non-combat missions yielded very few points, while combat missions yielded more.

The points for combat missions aren't 100 each time; there's a minimum of 100. If you encounter a complex situation, you'll receive even more points.

"Work hard, and I'll make you a promise: with just 3000 points, the bureau will get you a pet that can possess you." Zhou Shanhai clearly hadn't forgotten about this. Wu Xiao's talent, combined with a pet that can possess him, was indeed the best match.

Human strength has its limits; only by leveraging the power of pet beasts can one go further. Although it's unclear why Wu Xiao refused, Zhou Shan Hai reserved this opportunity for him—this wasn't charity, but something Wu Xiao earned himself.
