Chapter 263 Waist Badge

After the interrogation, Bald Tuo was taken away and sent to Taoist prison.

Mo Hua asked Zhang Lan: "Uncle Zhang, is Baldhead telling the truth?"

Zhang Lan pondered slightly and said slowly: "The first part is true, but the second part is not clear. It is probably half true and half false. This person is cunning and can't fully trust his words."

Mo Hua nodded.

He must be hiding something about the map.

But there are too few clues about what the map is related to, and the ink painting has no clue.

"Would you like to ask the one-eyed man again?" Mo Hua asked again.

He remembered that among the sin cultivators, there was another one-eyed monk who was considered a leader and might know more.

"Okay, I will interrogate him when I have time. You should go back first. This torture chamber is not a good place."

After Zhang Lan finished speaking, he fanned in front of his nose, as if he wanted to blow away the smell.

"Um."

Mo Hua also felt that the smell here was unpleasant and would feel depressing after staying for a long time, so he was ready to leave.

Zhang Lan suddenly said: "I will go find you in a few days."

Mo Hua turned around, a little confused, "What do you want from me?"

"Have you forgotten?" Zhang Lan blinked at Mo Hua, "We agreed that if we catch Bald Tuo, Daotingsi will benefit you."

Mo Hua's eyes lit up, "What's the benefit?"

"You'll know in a few days."

Zhang Lan is still trying to keep it secret.

A few days later, Zhang Lan found Mo Hua and handed him a tips bag.

When he opened the ink painting, he found a bronze sign in the bag.

The materials used are not expensive, and it doesn't look like a spiritual weapon. The style looks a bit primitive, even clumsy, and dull.

"That's it?" Mo Hua was a little disappointed.

He also thought that Daotingsi would give him some spells, exercises, elixirs, or formations.

Zhang Lan said angrily: "What do you mean this? Do you know what this is?"

Mo Hua shook his head.

"This is Daotingsi's badge!"

Mo Hua opened his mouth wide, "Isn't it a monk from Daotingsi who has an official belt?"

"That's right." Zhang Lan nodded, "So this is not official."

Mo Hua was stunned for a moment, "Fake?"

Zhang Lan sighed, "Supernumerary."

"Oh." Mo Hua understood.

The formal monks of the Daoting Division, from the executive director and the director at the bottom to the deputy chief and chief at the top, must pass the assessment before they can be hired.

The assessment is very strict and covers many categories, including spiritual roots, exercises, martial arts or magic, family background, whether there is a criminal record, whether there are any direct blood relatives who have been imprisoned or possessed by demons within three generations, etc.

These are the contents of Daotingsi's investigation.

If you want to pass the assessment, you don't have to choose one from a thousand, there is one from a hundred.

And in addition to the assessment, there are also all kinds of intricate monk relationships and connections secretly.

Mo Hua wants to pass the assessment of the Eight Classics and become a monk of the Daoting Division. Even if he is just the chief minister, it is probably not easy.

It's not bad to be able to have a non-staff status now.

"What's the difference between non-staff and formal?" Mo Hua asked.

Zhang Lan explained: "Non-staff means outside the staff, they can help Daotingsi do things in exchange for merit, and exchange for spiritual stones, exercises, spells, spiritual weapons, formations and other spiritual materials.

"But without the establishment of Daotingsi, you cannot be promoted, and you have no authority. The treatment is not comparable to that of normal Daotingsi monks."

"Oh." Mo Hua nodded, "On the surface, I'm an errand, but in fact, I'm working part-time."

Zhang Lan snorted, "This is what many monks want, but there is no way to get it."

Mo Hua leaned over and asked in a low voice: "Is this waist card so good?"

Zhang Lan pointed at the waist card in Mo Hua's hand, "For others, this may only be used to do errands and make a living. But it's different for you. You are an array master and you don't rely on this to make a living. You can also use this to harvest Daotingsi’s wool.”

Mo Hua then whispered: "Uncle Zhang, you are also a member of Daotingsi. Isn't it bad to encourage me to pick up Daotingsi's wool..."

Zhang Lan glared at Mo Hua, "I didn't instigate him."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Zhang Lan was a little helpless, "The Daoting unified the cultivation world and has countless resources. The Daoting Division below is also a big business. It is your own ability to pick up the wool of the Daoting Division."

At least you are the only one in the entire Tongxian City who can make the boss take the initiative to give you badges...

Zhang Lan thought silently.

Mo Hua thought for a moment and asked curiously: "How to collect this?"

It is said to be Daotingsi's waist badge, but it only has some simple lines and no inscriptions on it. It looks like an ordinary bronze medal with nothing special about it.

Even if Zhang Lan said he could pluck wool, Mo Hua didn't know how.

After Mo Hua asked, he felt that it was not very good for him to always ask Zhang Lan things. He patted his chest again and said generously:

"You can eat and drink today, and I'll pay for it."

Anyway, the restaurant is owned by his family.

Zhang Lan laughed, shook his head, and said to Mo Hua:

"You helped Daoting Si. If you don't have this reputation, it can only be regarded as a personal favor. Favors can be light or serious, and they may not be taken seriously."

"But with a waist card, you can record your achievements, and your achievements can be actually exchanged for spiritual stones, elixirs and spiritual weapons."

"For example, if you help us catch Bald Tuo, if you catch him, it means we have accepted your favor. The boss and I know about this, but the other monks don't know about it, and they may not recognize it."

"Now that you have a waist card, this favor can be counted as an achievement. It will be recognized by the boss and recorded in the merit book. This is real merit. Once it is revealed, others cannot deny it."

Mo Hua roughly understood, and asked: "Then how are the merits calculated?"

Zhang Lan took a sip of tea and continued:

"First, it is divided by grade. You are in the Qi Refining Stage, so the merits are only of the first grade."

"Second, it is divided into four grades according to the size of the merits, A, B, C, and D. The merits of different grades can be exchanged for different things, but there are also shares."

"You helped to catch the bald monk this time, and the chief officer recorded you as 'B' grade. If you exchange it for spirit stones, you will get about 1,000."

"So many?" Mo Hua was surprised.

There are more than 20 people who caught the bald monk, and Mo Hua can get 1,000 spirit stones alone.

"This is only calculated according to merits. There are also some other rewards. There are quite a lot of miscellaneous things added up."

"Bald monks are so valuable? Then if you catch a few more, wouldn't you make a fortune?"

"What are you thinking?" Zhang Lan gently rubbed Mo Hua's head, "Do you think the bald monks are carrot heads? Catch as many as you want."

Mo Hua thought about it and nodded.

That's right. Among the group of sinners, Guang Tou Tuo is at least a "big brother".

Even if it's a carrot, it's the biggest one.

"But it's better to save this merit for later use. It's a bit of a waste to exchange it for spirit stones." Zhang Lan added.

"Is there anything special about this?"

"The Dao Ting Division is backed by the Dao Ting, whose heritage and resources are profound. The things used as rewards may not be the most precious, but they are the most complete."

Zhang Lan patiently explained, "Whether it's cultivation or drawing formations, it's inevitable that you will encounter some rare things in the future, although they are not precious. You have spirit stones but nowhere to buy them. This situation is the most difficult."

"And you have this waist badge, you can exchange it directly from the Dao Ting Division's warehouse, which will save a lot of trouble."

Mo Hua listened and nodded repeatedly.

If Zhang Lan hadn't pointed out this kind of thing, he really wouldn't have known about it.

Then Mo Hua was a little worried, "After I got this badge, do I have to obey the orders of Dao Tingsi?"

He didn't want to become a "running dog of Dao Tingsi" one day and only be able to do things under the instructions of Dao Tingsi.

"Don't worry." Zhang Lan raised his eyebrows at Mo Hua, "This is another advantage of this bronze badge, you can only obey orders but not announcements."

"Dao Tingsi has the right to call you, but it doesn't really have the power to order you. As long as you don't rely on this job to make a living, at most you can throw away the badge and quit, and no one can do anything to you."

"Is this 'no desire makes you strong'?"

Zhang Lan pondered for a while and nodded, "It can be said that. As long as you don't work hard and think about scheming, it's actually very easy."

Mo Hua was relieved.

He is a formation master, and he really doesn't rely on this to make a living. This badge is just for fleecing.

Mo Hua sighed, "My identity is a bit complicated now."

He is mainly a formation master, then a demon hunter, and now he is still a little rascal who fleeces Dao Tingsi.
