Extraordinary Realm from Persuasion System

In the end, it was the wealthy Zhang Beixing who picked up the tab for the meal.

It was about the price Jennifer had expected, nearly thirty thousand US dollars, which was quite terrifying.

The other team members were also taken aback because the restaurant was so upscale that they held back a bit when eating, not indulging too much.

Except for Yu Yao and Yin Mengwei, the two girls with smaller appetites, the other guys were basically only about eighty percent full.

Yet the meal still ended up costing about three thousand dollars per person.

”Tsk tsk, Minister, lucky you’re here, otherwise, even if we split the bill, a meal of nearly twenty thousand bucks is something I couldn’t afford.”

One teammate joked with Zhang Beixing, ”Minister, the salary you give us is too low. You’re so rich, can’t you give us a raise? A bit over ten thousand a month is just not enough!”

Zhang Beixing rolled his eyes at this.

”Alright, if you say so, I get it. We’ll raise your salary to a hundred thousand a month, but all the bonuses we promised you before, forget about them.”

”!!”

As soon as he said that, the team members of the Extraordinary Reservists, who had been gloating, suddenly widened their eyes in shock.

They glared angrily at the teammate who had just made the joke and hastily pleaded with Zhang Beixing for mercy.

Just recently, in that operation in Wu Country to eliminate the mercenaries.

Zhang Beixing had made the bold move to distribute half of the loot according to labor.

Among the seven of them, even the one who got the least, received at least three million US dollars in bonuses.

Xu Feng’s reputation for the Ninth Bureau’s Western Expedition had a lot to do with this.

If they didn’t take advantage of these Mafia organizations, where would the extra money come from?

Zhang Beixing ignored their wailing and continued eating.

Under Jennifer’s surprised gaze, their wailing lasted nearly ten minutes before it finally ended.

...

...

After the meal, the group walked out of the Michelin restaurant.

It was still early, just in the afternoon.

After asking about the team’s plans, Zhang Beixing didn’t express any particular opinion or evaluation on their intention to explore and have fun.

After all, everyone was still young, with the oldest being Xu Feng, just over thirty.

The daily intense training and the recent tight battle schedule had kept everyone’s nerves on edge.

A little relaxation wouldn’t hurt.

It’s not a bad thing.

Zhang Beixing generously approved their rest for the day, even if it was just this one afternoon.

”Where are you planning to go? Let’s go together.”

Since he had run into them, Zhang Beixing had no intention of leaving the team.

He had already made an appearance in Lanbo, so both the Mafia organizations and the news media were surely watching him, no doubt about it.

Now he’s like a global celebrity; whenever he appears in public, his every word and action is captured by cameras from angles unknown, spreading everywhere.

Now, wandering around with this beautiful foreign woman, just the two of them.

Tsk tsk.

It’s fine in broad daylight, but if they were photographed entering certain places together at night.

When he returns to the country, Zhang Beixing doesn’t even have to think about it, Lin Siqi will definitely come looking for him.

He looked at the team members.

It’s perfect; with them around, Jennifer wouldn’t be so conspicuous. These people could serve as his shield.

The team members were a bit surprised that Zhang Beixing wanted to join their playgroup, but they weren’t entirely opposed.

They just had to be a little more careful about their words along the way, no big deal.

Having a golden master tag along for free, isn’t that wonderful?

...

...

Black Bear Organization.

The largest Mafia organization in the Capital of Lanbo.

After receiving a signal from the boss, they quickly drew up plans and selected personnel to send the plan to the team members of the Extraordinary Reservists.

As long as they signed on this plan, it would take effect.

On the surface, this competition plan appeared to be quite formal, with no obvious bias.

But upon closer inspection, one would find the timing a bit insidious.

As if a series of challenges weren’t enough, the schedule was tight and sequential.

They prepared nearly fifty people to challenge the Extraordinary Reservists one by one.

And that’s not all. They conducted extensive research on several team members’ characteristics. With the help of experts, they specifically selected people to exploit their weaknesses and match them with opponents accordingly.

Take Yin Mengwei, for example. As someone who tosses poisons, her personal strength isn’t particularly strong.

Even though she was already a Class A Martial Artist, in terms of pure martial arts strength, she might only be at a middle-lower level.

It’s quite easy to handle her; as long as they prepared adequate defenses to block her poisons immediately, it would be easy to deal with her.

Just as the boss was daydreaming about the results of tonight, a discordant voice interrupted his beautiful thoughts.

A researcher hurriedly burst in, looking troubled as he spoke to him.

”Boss, there’s a problem!”
