Chapter 575: Chapter 7 Glory of the Dead

A month had passed since the last payday, and Li Yu had received a new transfer notification, after which he checked his bank account.

There was already over five hundred thousand in savings.

In B city, where everyone had assets of tens of millions, this definitely didn’t count as being rich, but Li Yu was quite satisfied with himself.

He had worked for two years at his previous job, often working overtime and staying up late, and had managed to save less than sixty thousand yuan.

Now, this job, which he had only been doing for half a year, had already netted him over four hundred thousand.

For Li Yu personally, the most direct benefit of his trip to Royal Capital, beyond the decent gains of Ireya and Double Rest Sect, was the increase in income.

This month, his faith was nearly forty thousand more than the previous month.

This faith primarily came from two sources, first from the followers they accepted along the way, especially those brought by Kieren, and second from Ireya’s outstanding performance at the martial arts competition, where she defeated several powerful opponents.

Especially strong fighters like Earth Bear and Moen, who made the might of Saturday known to the world, also gathered a wave of faith for Li Yu.

According to a 1:1 conversion ratio, Li Yu’s pre-tax income this month once again surpassed one hundred thousand, and this time, it was achieved without the incentive for new recruits.

However, he was still 168,225 points of faith away from being promoted to P6.

The amount of faith required for each promotion in the Third Era was significantly greater than the last, which made promotions increasingly challenging as one moved up.

Take Hephaestus from the Equipment Department, for example, who said he was specially recruited by the company at around nineteen years old. His tenure had now exceeded seven years.

But his rank was only one level higher than Li Yu, at P6.

Of course, the promotion criteria for the Equipment Department differed from the Business Department, and if all went well, Hephaestus could be promoted to P7 next year.

As for Xu Mengyuan, contrary to Li Yu’s expectations, the HR lady’s rank was only P4, one notch below Li Yu.

But Hephaestus told Li Yu not to treat Xu Mengyuan as an ordinary employee because she was also responsible for reporting to several directors regularly.

If he didn’t want to leave a bad impression with the directors, it was best to be polite to Xu Mengyuan.

Additionally, Hephaestus suggested Li Yu buy another suit. The suits Li Yu currently wore were purchased from an online store, YaGeEr, priced around six to seven hundred yuan a piece.

Li Yu bought four sets at once and even placed one at Bratis’s in case he needed to change unexpectedly.

Although there was no strict dress code for the annual meeting, it was a rare opportunity to interact with other employees, especially the lovely female colleagues. Hephaestus thought Li Yu should pay more attention to his appearance.

You never know if you might find your true love there.

Hephaestus even recommended a tailor who could make custom suits for Li Yu.

Li Yu took the card and then asked the handsome half-blood, "Does the Equipment Department sell any suits?"

"Hmm," Hephaestus paused, "Do you trust our Equipment Department’s taste that much?"

"It’s not that, mainly it’s the bonus that comes with clothes bought from your department," Li Yu explained.

He had just received this month’s faith points, a total of 7,652, plus the 612 points he had left over, bringing his current faith points to over eight thousand.

It could be said to be an unprecedented level of wealth, so I could afford to purchase some new equipment for myself.

"As for suits, I actually do have a set right here," Hephaestus said.

"It’s a new item that was just developed last month, and we haven’t had time to list it on the app yet. The most important thing is that it’s very suitable for you, I actually feel like it was made for you."

"What star rating is it, what does it do, and how much does it cost?"

"This is a 4-star item. I haven’t thought of a proper name for it yet, so I’m temporarily calling it ’Glory of the Dead.’

"Are you naming it after that game with the penguins?"

"No, no, no, it’s the ’dead’ as in ’undead.’" Hephaestus corrected, "The glory of the dead shall not be violated. Once the wearer of this suit is killed, the murderer will surely die within three days as well.

"It is a very, very powerful curse that cannot be removed. Of course, for others, this suit could at most help them get revenge, but you are different. You have ’Reborn.’

"As long as you can be ruthless, you will become unstoppable."

"When you say ’unstoppable,’ do you mean I’ll just keep getting killed by others?" Li Yu asked.

"That is the prerequisite condition. 4-star equipment is all very powerful and unique," the handsome half-blood continued.

"Like the ’Eco-friendly Frog’ you drew before, although that little tree frog still maintains its biological form, it’s actually closer to a certain law now. ’Glory of the Dead’ is the same; they are almost unshakable.

"So the price is very high. According to the pricing system of the Equipment Department, it’s worth at least ten thousand points of faith. However, considering that most colleagues in the business department don’t care about what happens after their own death, I’ll let you take this suit for 7000 faith points.

"Oh, by the way, this is also a set of GIORGIO ARMANI. While it’s not the most high-end line of ARMANI, it’s still worth a few tens of thousands of dollars."

"Is it durable?"

"No, ’Glory of the Dead’ does not provide any additional protection to the wearer; otherwise, it would not serve its purpose," Hephaestus answered.

"So this expensive equipment worth 7000 faith points is just for one-time use? Suppose I’m wearing it and someone stabs me in the chest, then this suit would also be pierced through," Li Yu asked.

"Good question. The Equipment Department can offer you free repair services, and being stabbed, torn, or even burnt won’t affect its effect.

"The curse is branded deep in the soul of the murderer the moment you die, and you don’t even have to lift a finger."

"Anyway, 7000 faith points is too expensive," Li Yu shook his head. "Being killed is not a pleasant feeling, and I don’t want to experience that again unless I have no other choice, so I won’t be able to use this equipment much."

"Alright." Hephaestus said with a bit of regret, "But you have a point; this item is indeed hard to sell. I might as well throw this suit into the prize pool for the annual meeting."

"Do you have any other clothes? Perhaps something a bit cheaper?" Li Yu asked.

"There is a 2-star T-shirt on the ’Forging House’ app, a Mario co-branded one, for just 499 faith points. Its function is to keep your body at an ambient temperature of 22 degrees Celsius, which is also the most comfortable temperature for humans.

"That T-shirt sells well in both summer and winter. I suggest you get one as well. You can just place the order directly in the APP," Hephaestus recommended, following up with a reminder.

"But you can’t attend the annual meeting wearing just a T-shirt."

"I know. Thank you, I’ll take a look at the tailor you recommended," Li Yu said.
