Demon-Wraith Plagued World: From Commoner to Supreme - Chapter 27 - Benefits and Zhu Cui'er Returns Home

When Lin Feng left the reserve camp of the Demon Exorcism Division, he felt utterly exhilarated!

“The welfare benefits of the Demon Exorcism Division are truly remarkable!”

He recalled the introduction given by the squad leader, and couldn’t help but smile.

At the Body Forging Realm and Bone Forging Realm, one is still considered a low-level disciple,

receiving a monthly salary of fifty taels of silver, enough to support a family of over a dozen!

What’s more important is that meals are all-inclusive, with meat at every meal and a medicinal meal every three days!

Additionally, there is a monthly medicinal bath to enhance cultivation!

If one could advance to the Tendon Changing Realm, the benefits would double!

However, there is still some pressure, as one needs to advance to the Blood Changing Realm within five years!

Otherwise, like the other older disciples, one would remain a disciple for life.

Unable to become a member of the staff.

Although within Kaiyang County, it’s considered a decent treatment.

But compared to those squad leaders, it’s like heaven and earth!

Although squad leader is the lowest rank within the entire Demon Exorcism Division,

among the disciples, they are revered!

Even if some older disciples advance to the Marrow Cleansing Realm, surpassing in realm, they still can’t compare!

Because older disciples represent lesser aptitude, while squad leaders are of high aptitude, who knows when they might advance to Vital Surge and become a platoon commander like Huang Qiong!

“Facing Demon-Wraiths is necessary, but at least there’s hope!

And isn’t a poor man also faced with Demon-Wraiths?”

Lin Feng thought to himself.

“I wonder how amazing it would be to become a Captain of a Hundred Households! In charge of an entire reserve camp!

A Rank Six official, even higher than a Rank Seven County Lord!

In this Kaiyang County, that’s practically doing whatever one desires!”

Lin Feng indulged in rare fantasies about his future splendid life!

“But the most important thing now is to move my mother and sister to the outer city or even the inner city to settle down.

Although I don’t have enough money to buy a house now, at least I can start by renting!

Let Yu also move over.

Once I save up two hundred taels, I can buy a house and truly settle down in the city!”

Unknowingly, Lin Feng had already arrived at the Slaughterhouse.

The main job of the Demon Exorcism Division is cultivation.

And when Demon-Wraiths appear, they must be exterminated.

Thus, the schedule is relatively flexible.

Some disciples, due to insufficient cultivation resources, take up part-time jobs like teaching martial arts to earn extra silver for cultivation.

So Lin Feng could completely finish his work at the slaughterhouse early in the morning, then head to the Demon Exorcism Division.

This daily gain of at least two Upgrade Points was still very important to him!

Little by little adds up!

Because Lin Feng had already mastered the Butcher’s Deconstruction to the Peak, his speed was such that he could finish all tasks in a quarter of an hour if he wished.

But to avoid drawing too much attention, he still kept it within half an hour!

This also amazed people like Wu the Third!

Lin Feng looked simply like a precise slaughtering machine, without any unnecessary cuts!

This made Wu the Third and the other helpers very happy, as the tasks were completed, they too could finish work early.

Thus, they gave Lin Feng a bit more monthly pay, along with some Pig Offal and other scraps!

No one ever complains about having too much money!

Lin Feng thanked Wu the Third and then, carrying his goods, returned home!

It was just around noon,

Mother Lin had already prepared the meal. She hadn’t yet adjusted to not working outside, so she spent the morning with Lin Man doing some sewing in the room. However, she seemed preoccupied, frequently glancing towards the door.

“Mom, don’t worry. Big Brother will definitely get into the Demon Exorcism Division!” Lin Man tried to comfort her mother, noticing her concern.

“It’s Demon Exorcism Division!” Mother Lin chuckled at Lin Man’s mistake and gently patted her head.

“Yes, yes, it’s the Demon Exorcism Division. Big Brother will definitely get in!” Lin Man said earnestly.

“Oh, and how do you know that?”

“I had a dream! Big Brother got into the Demon Exorcism Division and brought back lots and lots of candied hawthorns for me!” Lin Man replied.

Mother Lin was speechless.

“Mom, Little Sister! I’m back!” Just as Mother Lin was at a loss for words, Lin Feng walked in and greeted them.

“How did it go?” Mother Lin asked anxiously as soon as she saw Lin Feng.

Lin Man also came out, looking to see if Lin Feng had any candied hawthorns in his hands. Seeing none, her face fell.

“Big Brother, did you not get into the Demon Exorcism Division?”

Lin Feng patted Lin Man’s head. “It’s the Demon Exorcism Division! Why would you think I didn’t get in? I did! We’re moving into the city!”

“Mom, I got into the Demon Exorcism Division!”

“That’s wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful!” Mother Lin cried tears of joy, not bothering to wipe them away this time. Her son had truly made something of himself! If his father knew, how proud he would be!

“Mom, this is a good thing! Don’t cry!” Lin Feng gently wiped away his mother’s tears, feeling a mix of emotions himself. If it weren’t for the Zhao family’s help, getting in might have been much harder.

“Big Brother, you didn’t bring any candied hawthorns, so I thought you didn’t get in!” Lin Man said at this point.

Lin Feng was a bit puzzled, but after hearing about her dream, he couldn’t help but laugh. This little one seemed to have awakened a foodie trait.

Lin Yu had already left to handle some matters with his new responsibilities. There was much to be done!

The family then sat down to eat together. Just then, a commotion erupted outside.

It turned out that Butcher Zhu’s family had returned!

“Old Zhu, this is Young Master Xu! Young Master Xu truly comes from a wealthy family! Your Cui’er is really fortunate to marry him. Now that you’re moving into the city, you won’t be coming back, right?”

“That’s right, Old Zhu. Distant relatives aren’t as good as close neighbors. Don’t forget us in the neighborhood!”

Outside, Xu Xiong, accompanied by a few others and Butcher Zhu’s family, had come to help Butcher Zhu move with great fanfare. Many neighbors gathered around, showering them with compliments.

“Ha ha, Cui’er’s family, thank you all for taking care of us. Here’s some money for everyone!” Xu Xiong tossed a handful of copper coins into the air.

The neighbors scrambled to grab them. Uncle Niu even threw away his cane, crawling on the ground to stuff the coins into his pockets. Xu Xiong watched them with glee. Despite his limp, these able-bodied people were scrambling like dogs for the things he discarded. It gave him a twisted sense of satisfaction.

Zhu Cui’er, seeing Xu Xiong’s demeanor, also wore a proud expression. Finally, as a commoner, she had risen to the upper class! Fortunately, she had made the right choice back then. If she had stayed with Lin Feng, could she have lived such a luxurious life? The answer was definitely not!

While Xu Xiong watched the crowd scramble, he also glanced towards Lin Feng’s house. The main reason he chose to come to the shantytown today was to see Lin Feng’s downfall, expecting him to be crippled and his family in ruins. His uncle had given the order two days ago, so Lin Feng should have been beaten to a pulp by now, even worse off than himself. The thought of Lin Feng’s miserable state made him laugh even more, and he tossed another handful of copper coins, causing another frenzy among the crowd.

At this moment, Lin Feng’s family stepped out…
