A mont later, two car teams stopped in front of the command center. Li Ming and Zhao Sunwu got off the cars and looked at each other before walking into the command center together.
"Commander, please co in."
A woman in a black suit stood at the entrance. Seeing them co over, she respectfully saluted and then welcod them inside.
Zhao Sunwu and Li Ming nodded with a smile, then walked through the corridor at the entrance. Soon, they arrived at a spacious eting room via an elevator.
Li Ming looked around the eting room. A large wooden table was set up in the center with two rows of chairs on either side. There was a panoramic glass window at the front, behind which a burly man was standing with his back to them.
He glanced at Zhao Sunwu beside him and could clearly feel the other’s heartbeat. He imdiately guessed the identity of the man in front of him - the pillar of the Base City, Lei Ming!
"Co in."
Seemingly sensing their hesitation, the man turned around, revealing his majestic face. There seed to be a torrent of thunder illuminating from him. Zhao Sunwu’s body tightened and he quickly walked in.
Li Ming followed silently into the eting room.
"You both should presumably be well-inford before coming here. Everyone has a lot to do, which definitely does not include chatting with . So, let’s be blunt."
Lei Ming revealed a slight smile, "The Base City brings you enjoynt, so you also need to contribute to the Base City. There are a lot of mutant creatures in the northern wilds. Each of you has to bring back at least two per year, along with the carcass of a mutant zombie."
"Or, you can make a corresponding contribution to the Base. What contribution and how much will be decided by the transaction center. According to the rotation sequence, you can now work as heads of security in the city."
"I will not elaborate on the powers of a chief. Your superiors will explain to you later. According to tradition, I will grant a reasonable request as a eting gift. Speak up, what do you want?"
Lei Ming’s voice perated the air, not aggressive but confident. Coupled with his terrifying combat power, Zhao Sunwu was completely taken in by him.
He wasn’t asking, but stating. It wasn’t negotiation, but a declaration.
Indeed, that was the case. Even when Zhao Sunwu arrived, he didn’t plan to bargain. He only ca to sign a contract and take a reasonable salary, just as Lei Ming dominated like a thunder.
A thought flashed in Li Ming’s mind, deepening his understanding of Lei Ming.
"I want a suit of armor. After all, flying is unsafe. It’s safer to wear good armor."
Upon finishing Lei’s speech, Zhao Sunwu was the first to speak. His eyes glead with anticipation. Evidently, he had heard of this ’gift’ and couldn’t help feeling expectant.
Lei Ming glanced at him and nodded, "Then I’ll give you a light, superior trait armor. This armor is light, has high defense and won’t limit your flight speed or mobility. Plus, it can provide you excellent protection, making it suitable for you."
After finishing speaking, Lei Ming snapped his fingers, and a faint spark flashed. Zhao Sunwu’s eyes instantly brightened: "Thank you, Brother Ming!"
While expressing his thanks cheerfully, a stern-looking woman ca in with a case, which she then opened to reveal a silver armor. Zhao Sunwu tried it on, finding it indeed lightweight. He knocked on it and could clearly feel its defensive power. He directly stored the silver armor and stood aside, beaming.
After Zhao Sunwu received his gift, Lei Ming nodded in satisfaction, then set his eyes on Li Ming.
"I want a 3.2-ter-long spear, as sturdy as possible."
As the man’s gaze seed to flicker like a thunderstorm, Li Ming gave a smile and made his own request.
A spear, 3.2 ters in length, would fit perfectly in his hands and be more lethal to large monsters.
Most importantly, facing the big shots, he naturally wanted to take advantage of the free handouts to the fullest extent.
"We don’t have a 3.2-ter one, but there’s a 3.7-ter one. Since you want it, I’ll give it to you."
Lei Ming shook his head at Li Ming’s words, then with a snap of his fingers, a machine brought in an even longer one under his astonished gaze.
A 3.7-ter long gun!
"Thank you!"
Li Ming picked up the long gun, a heavy sensation imdiately hitting his palm. He gripped it tightly, a smile spreading across his face as he expressed his sincere gratitude to Lei Ming.
"Well, it’s good to want to go ho. We hope Base City will always welco you. If anything urgent happens in the future, feel free to co and find ."
Lei Ming nodded at him, speaking calmly. Afterward, he nodded at Zhao Sunwu and then left.
Watching his retreating figure, Li Ming had a mont of thought before shaking his head again.
After all, as a pillar of Base City, it would be a joke if he didn’t know what this newcor was up to here.
"So, how cool is it? I told you the welco gift is powerful."
After Lei Ming left, Zhao Sunwu seed to release a breath, then couldn’t help but excitedly blurt out to Li Ming.
Regarding Lei Ming, he always felt like a student in front of a teacher.
"Hahaha, could Lei Ming’s welco gift not be powerful?"
Before Li Ming has ti to respond to Zhao Sunwu, a loud voice suddenly ca from outside the conference room. A middle-aged man of average stature walked into the room laughing and as he saw them, he spoke cheerfully, "I am the Chief of Security, you guys may call Tie Jun. From now on, we’ll be working together. Welco to the Security Departnt."
The middle-aged man rubbed his head, producing a flurry of sparks, then stepped forward to extend a hand while under their gaze: "The superpower carrier with a steel body, Tie Jun."
"The flying superpower carrier, Zhao Sunwu, nice to et you, Chief."
Zhao Sunwu quickly stepped forward to shake hands, chuckling as he spoke.
"Welco, welco. With Brother Zhao around, we will have an easier ti investigating situations."
Tie Jun laughed heartily and exchanged a couple of firm handshakes with Zhao Sunwu before extending his right hand to Li Ming with a beaming smile: "This brother here is surely a martial artist who has received superpowers, isn’t he? If that’s the case, our security departnt just got another formidable powerhouse."
"I only started learning martial arts after gaining the superpower. My skills are quite rudintary and not very impressive."
Li Ming laughed and shook hands with him, then modestly introduced himself: "I have the superpower of overall body enhancent, Li Ming."
"Wow, combining body enhancent superpower with martial arts, that’s impressive. Let’s go, I’ve prepared a welco banquet in my office for the two of you. We can have a al while chatting."
Tie Jun let out a little whistle of surprise, continuously praising and warmly gripping Li Ming’s hand before leading them outside.
Li Ming chuckled and followed along with Zhao Sunwu.
"Let tell you, don’t think the Security Departnt is all about daily hassle. In fact, we only have to deal with superpower carriers who get out of control. We warn them first, and only use force when warnings fail."
"Typically, all of us go together. Compared to the scouts outside the city who have to probe for information or the city guard who must stay on the city wall all day, we have a much more relaxed job."
On the way, Tie Jun chatted about the duties of the Security Departnt while trying to win them over. Zhao Sunwu occasionally chid in, creating a lively atmosphere.
Li Ming just smiled and listened quietly all the way until they got into Tie Jun’s personal vehicle. They only stopped talking when they arrived at a grand building located outside the privileged residences.
"Hehe, let’s go, get off the vehicle. We’re ho."
After getting off the vehicle, Tie Jun pointed at a stone slab in front of the courtyard engraved with the words "Security Departnt" and said to them with a laugh.
