Chapter 286: Chapter 284: Tea Eggs and Pickles

After waiting for a while longer, a petite figure came bouncing over.

It was a woman, her body cloaked in a white robe with a hood and a face mask on. The only visible parts of her face were her brownish-yellow eyes, resembling those of a cat, and on her head were two small bumps that might have been ears...

Her figure was striking, even in a white robe, one could make out her shapely curves, and judging by her movements and the delicate skin near her eyes, she appeared to be quite young.

"Who is this... Is she one of the Containment Officers, did Feng Ruixing go for surgery?"

While others were merely curious about the young girl’s appearance, Wen Wen was curious about everything. He personally recruited every Containment Officer, but he had no idea who this girl was.

Had there not been many Containment Officers present, Wen Wen would have been inclined to take action against this young girl right away.

"Hello everyone, please take good care of me in our first meeting, meow."

After greeting everyone, the girl sat next to Zhangsun Jing, curiously looking around at everyone, particularly interested in the animal skin on Zhangsun Jing, her hand under the table, repeatedly trying to touch Zhangsun Jing’s fur.

Upon hearing that crisp voice, Wen Wen suddenly realized, and his wariness vanished; this young girl was actually the tiger from before!

Was she actually a person?

This made Wen Wen somewhat disappointed; he thought his Sanctuary had acquired a rare animal.

However, having a maybe quite pretty girl was also nice; at least it wasn’t too male-dominated.

The girl was fidgety even while sitting, putting her backpack in front of her and then rummaging through it for a while before pulling out a pile of tea eggs and handing them out one by one, giving two to Wen Wen due to his large size...

"This brand of tea eggs tastes really good; consider it my greeting gift, meow."

Then, she happily started peeling and eating the eggs.

Something seemed to be moving behind her, and Wen Wen speculated that it must be a tail...

"Ears, tail... Could she be a Beast Mother?"

Wen Wen imagined what she looked like under her robe and felt he had made the right choice in selecting her as a Containment Officer; even as a cold-hearted detective, he had a special fondness for certain things...

At that moment, he also recalled the name that had appeared on the contract before; this girl should be called Miao Miaomiao.

Wen Wen hadn’t cared before because he thought the name Miao Miaomiao wasn’t imposing enough for a tiger, and ’Tiger’ sounded better. However, calling a young girl ’Tiger’ seemed a bit inappropriate now.

Just before the meeting was about to start, Feng Ruixing pushed open the door and confidently found a seat, marking the arrival of all the Containment Officers.

Yet, Feng Ruixing’s method of concealing his identity was quite unusual - he had a black face mask on...

Ding, ding, ding...

The man in the metal suit, who had been standing to the side, took out a small hammer and rang something resembling a bell.

"Please be quiet, everyone. The meeting is now starting. I am the Central Administrator of the disaster core area, the Metal Guardian. You may call me Mr. Jin."

Everyone nodded, while Wen Wen awkwardly touched his nose; did he actually have a name? Wen Wen had always called him Metal Suit Man.

"Starting from this meeting, I will chair all future meetings. First, I’ll distribute your pay."

Upon hearing about the pay, except for Feng Ruixing, all Containment Officers lit up with anticipation. Although they weren’t short on money, no one would complain about having more.

Especially Heng An, who was basically penniless...

And if Miao Miaomiao had money, she probably wouldn’t have given tea eggs as a greeting gift.

"Each Containment Officer’s base salary is five thousand yuan per month, with an additional thousand yuan for capturing a Disaster Level Monster and ten thousand yuan for capturing a Calamity Level Monster,"

This salary was significantly less than that of the Hunters Association, but the Sanctuary imposed almost no restrictions on the Containment Officers, making the money almost free to take, so there were no complaints from anyone.

The one who earned the most was Gong Baoding, who had been there the longest and had also caught an extra monster, totaling tens of thousands in income.

After the salaries were distributed, the man in the metal suit clapped his hands, and several prison guards came in carrying a large pile of items.

"In addition to the salaries, the Sanctuary has also prepared some living subsidies for everyone."

The subsidies had a real homely feel to them, by each Containment Officer’s side, there was a bucket of soybean oil, a sack of rice, a sack of fruit, and a mysterious large box.

Heng An eagerly opened the box, and his expression turned weird as the box was filled with pickles and it was from a brand they had never tried before called Pei Ling Pickles.

Looking at that full box of pickles, Feng Ruixing covered his forehead, feeling like it was a disaster of his own making.

These pickles were produced by a pickle factory he had opened under the Foundation’s name, and because the trademark had been pre-registered, a lot of pickles had been stuck in the warehouse unable to be sold, so he had sent them to the Sanctuary...

Zhangsun Jing stroked his chin, after regaining his strength, he had already decided not to reopen his pastry shop, otherwise, he could have given them away as free gifts to customers.

The happiest was Miao Miaomiao, with these pickles, her tea eggs would taste even better...

"I have done what I needed to do, the rest of the time is up to you all, if you have any needs, you can come and find me."

Having said this, the man in the metal suit then left the room, leaving the six Containment Officers in the room, looking at each other, unsure of what to do next.

To relieve the awkward atmosphere, Feng Ruixing stood up and said:

"From now on, everyone must gather here every week, but this place is really too simple, so I plan to decorate this hall in the future, at least to make it not so bare, what do you think?"

After he finished speaking, the air was still very silent, which made him somewhat embarrassed.

Wen Wen shook his head, this situation was indeed within his expectations as everyone hardly knew each other, so he suggested, "Let’s start with me, everyone take turns to introduce themselves and if you have anything you don’t need that you want to sell or any doubts that need to be resolved, you can bring them up here."

With Wen Wen taking the lead, everyone became more lively, and after about an hour, the whole process was completed.

The one who raised the most questions was Feng Ruixing, and he was also the most generous, basically buying anything he fancied, letting everyone fully witness the power of money.

And for the others, this kind of interaction was beneficial, even Gong Baoding got some benefits here.

For them, attending a gathering every week was somewhat necessary.

After the exchange was over, the room fell silent again, and Feng Ruixing suggested, "Why don’t we just disperse?"

Since it was their first time, no one had experience, so they were ready to disband just like that.

But Miao Miaomiao disagreed, she jumped onto the table and pulled out several decks of playing cards, "Let’s play poker, meow..."

Except for her, no one wanted to play poker, but at her enthusiastic invitation, everyone except the busy Gong Baoding ended up joining the card game.

As they played, everyone obviously relaxed a lot more than before.

They continued playing until twelve o’clock, when everyone finally dispersed.

As Wen Wen left, he rubbed his head, puzzled. He had originally planned to create a meeting full of the mysterious aura of superpower users, so why had it turned into a silly celebration?

And Feng Ruixing was already preparing to turn the place into a game room...
