“Heh, the more we talk, the more it sounds like a game, right? Even within the Five Elements Alliance, some people refer to the Spirit Realm as a ‘game server.’ Spirit Realm Walkers have character panels, items, and quests to complete, and each different Spirit Realm is like a separate dungeon. Besides, there are different classes: members of the Red Fire Gang are reckless and impulsive, love to promote violence, just like berserkers. People from the Water God Palace have water manipulation abilities—they’re water mages. The Hundred Flowers Society can raise pets and heal injuries; they’re priests and summoners. The people from the Atrium are tough and sturdy, typical MTs.”

　　Michael Bolton couldn’t help but joke:

　　“So your scouts are the 75-gold eyes from games?”

　　David Thompson was stunned for a moment, then couldn’t help but grip the handle of his cane, saying expressionlessly:

　　“If I were a fire mage from the Red Fire Gang, I’d have already smashed your head in with a stick.”

　　“Sorry!” Michael Bolton apologized decisively.

　　After the joke, the atmosphere between the two became even more relaxed. David Thompson laughed and said:

　　“Once you get past the Transcendent stage, scouts have extremely strong solo combat abilities. When I say it’s a near-perfect class, I’m not exaggerating.

　　“Of course, among the orthodox classes, Night Wanderer is recognized as the strongest. I mean orthodox classes, not including the evil ones. Even we scouts have to admit, Night Wanderers are a bit more perfect than us.”

　　Huh? Night Wanderers are that strong, can they take on ten at once… Michael Bolton was secretly delighted: “Could you tell me more about the Night Wanderer class?”

　　David Thompson couldn’t help but laugh, but he understood the young man’s admiration for strength, and said:

　　“At the early Transcendent stage, Night Wanderers can already display extremely strong assassination abilities, with impressive burst power. In addition, they can communicate with souls, refine corpses, and control spirits. Their skills are diverse and their combat power is formidable.

　　“However, Night Wanderers are extremely rare. Currently, the Songhai City branch doesn’t have any Night Wanderers. That’s because there are too few Night Wanderer trial Spirit Realms in Songhai, and also because the Taiyi Sect in the capital keeps recruiting Night Wanderers from all over the country.”

　　At this point, he naturally asked about the new employee’s class, saying:

　　“What’s your class? I hope you’re not a fire mage—I hate rude and hot-tempered young people the most.”

Chapter 10: S-Class Trial Spirit Realm

　　“Night Wanderer!”

　　Michael Bolton said calmly.

　　“I’m asking about your class.”

　　“Night Wanderer.”

　　……David Thompson was stunned at first, then suddenly straightened his back, leaned forward, and stared intently at Michael Bolton, saying, “You’re a Night Wanderer?”

　　“Yes.” Michael Bolton nodded.

　　“Hiss…” David Thompson lifted his butt slightly, fell silent for over ten seconds to digest the news, then raised his voice and asked again:

　　“You’re a Night Wanderer? I—I just picked up a Night Wanderer?”

　　He never expected this. It was like just sighing to someone, ‘I wish I could win five million in the lottery.’

　　And then actually winning.

　　“Struck gold…” David Thompson put down his wine glass, repeatedly sizing up Michael Bolton, his face full of excitement.

　　Every Night Wanderer is a hot commodity.

　　They’re the targets of competition among all Spirit Realm Walker teams, even between factions.

　　David Thompson knew of a young married woman from the Hundred Flowers Society who, in order to poach a Night Wanderer informant from the Red Fire Gang, went so far as to seduce him, using sex to get him to switch sides and willingly join the Hundred Flowers Society, becoming a servant to two masters.

　　Because of this, the Red Fire Gang and the Hundred Flowers Society almost came to blows, and even the Five Elements Alliance headquarters couldn’t mediate.

　　Later, that Night Wanderer died during a Spirit Realm mission, and the matter finally settled down.

　　“By the way, I still don’t know your Spirit Realm ID.” David Thompson hid his excitement, maintaining a steady image in front of his future subordinate.

　　Michael Bolton straightened his back, gathered his breath at the tip of his tongue, and said: “George Washington!”

　　……David Thompson was silent for a few seconds, then clapped his hands and said, “Good name.”

　　Hey, that compliment was way too forced, and why do you look like you want to hit me… Michael Bolton said modestly:

　　“As long as the squad leader likes it.”

　　At this moment, the black business car drove into the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau, parking in a spot by the greenbelt.

　　“I’ll arrange for you to complete your onboarding procedures right now. The salary is twenty thousand a month, with extra allowances for missions, and additional performance bonuses for meritorious service. Any questions?”

　　David Thompson seemed unwilling to waste even a moment, eager to secure the deal.

　　Twenty thousand a month base salary? Michael Bolton’s eyes lit up. “No problem.”

　　A twenty-thousand monthly salary is considered high even in a big city like Songhai.

　　Michael Bolton remembered that at his mom’s company, management only made five to ten thousand a month. Of course, that was just base salary, not including bonuses, commissions, or shares.

　　He followed David Thompson out of the car, circled to the back of the Public Security Bureau building, and stopped in front of a two-story building.

　　This small building was constructed from huge glass panels, giving it a stylish, elite vibe.

　　Entering through the main door, directly opposite was a steel staircase leading straight to the second floor.

　　On the left side of the first floor was the office area, where seven or eight women sat at their desks—some were pretty young ladies, some were mature and charming married women, and some were capable and steady aunties.
