Chapter 89

Looking at the sudden system task, Yudou was speechless once again.

What the hell, his ambition has inflated again! And it even extended its claws to the human camp? How did he not know he was so awesome?

Moreover, with such a measly reward, they actually expect him to work 996? Not a chance.

A mere 500 points of reputation, if he were to take a stroll in a world like Demon Slayer, reaping a wave of韭菜 (metaphor for easy gains) would be a piece of cake.

Shinjo Isshin originally thought that Yudou would be grateful when he heard that he had arranged everything for him.

But when he saw Yudou's gloomy expression, he knew something was wrong, so he quickly continued, "Actually, joining the Abnormal Countermeasures Group has many benefits.

First, today's society is different from ancient times. The state will monitor and control those with great power.

So, the shikigami of onmyoji generally need to be registered with the official Onmyoryo, and the youkai you previously subdued are now completely unregistered."

"Also, due to the previous rat youkai incident, most people are already aware of your situation. You should know that this circle is only so big.

As a new organization, the Abnormal Countermeasures Group is still manageable, but those traditional onmyoji, if they find out that you and your sister possess youkai powers, will definitely cause trouble.

Don't doubt this possibility. For onmyoji, their honor and face are more important than anything. Although the Tenjouin family was once part of their group,

because of this, they won't allow a stain on the so-called onmyoji lineage.

But we, the Abnormal Countermeasures Group, are different from those old stubborn ones. We don't care about your background, as long as your origins are clean and you have the resolve to slay youkai, we will heavily rely on you.

Moreover, as an official organization, the Abnormal Countermeasures Group will at least prevent other onmyoji families from openly making things difficult for you."

Shinjo Isshin looked seriously at Yudou, explaining their current situation and the benefits of joining the Abnormal Countermeasures Group.

This wasn't a threat but a realistic assessment. In fact, if it weren't for the Abnormal Countermeasures Group's efforts to court Yudou and suppress the restless onmyoji families with official power,

his family would not have had such a peaceful time during the week he was away.

The Abnormal Countermeasures Group is not a monolithic entity. After learning of Yudou's existence, there were naturally informants within the group who reported back to their families.

This was also something Yudou had overlooked. He thought that leaving the Tsukibei to protect his family, along with his sister's own strength, would be enough to handle any ordinary danger.

But he forgot that danger could come not only from "harmful youkai" but also from other sources.

If it weren't for the Abnormal Countermeasures Group stepping in, the Tsukibei's power alone would have been useless.

Actually, Shinjo Isshin had intended to say these things to Tenjouin Masami as well, but when Masami learned that Shinjo Isshin was from the Abnormal Countermeasures Group, which specializes in youkai extermination, she didn't give him a chance to say another word and kicked him out.

After hearing Shinjo Isshin's words, Yudou frowned and felt somewhat guilty for his previous carelessness.

His expression towards Shinjo Isshin was noticeably friendlier than before.

If the onmyoji who came were at the level of Daido Kyuka and Shinjo Isshin, Yudou's current strength would not be afraid.

But the key was that Yudou still didn't know how strong the top human forces were.

Once he killed someone, it would be a complete breakdown of relations. Facing an enemy of unknown strength, would he be able to protect his sister and mother?

Seeing Yudou's wavering attitude and hesitation, Shinjo Isshin knew he had a chance, so he quickly continued to list the various benefits of joining the Abnormal Countermeasures Group.

For example, directly obtaining a military rank, being able to freely allocate local police assistance to handle miscellaneous tasks, and other generous benefits.

"Moreover, each successful removal of a harmful youkai will earn you a substantial reward.

Well, although that money is not as significant compared to the other generous conditions, not many people would care about it."

Who among those who can be exorcists would lack money? Even mediocre feng shui masters and fortune tellers can easily make a fortune these days.

These exorcists with real skills naturally look down on that small amount of money. Most people join the Abnormal Countermeasures Group either because they are not valued by their families or because they want power or the spiritual artifacts and precious materials within the group.

As for money in the secular world, it is truly insignificant to them.

At least, while many people have removed harmful youkai, Shinjo Isshin has never seen anyone specifically claim that reward...

However, what Shinjo Isshin didn't notice was that when he was explaining the other benefits of the Abnormal Countermeasures Group, Yudou was uninterested.

But when he heard that removing "harmful youkai" came with a reward, Yudou's eyes clearly lit up.

"How much is the reward for removing harmful youkai? It's not just a few thousand yen to fool people, right?"

Actually, after Shinjo Isshin's analysis, Yudou's attitude towards joining the Abnormal Countermeasures Group had already softened somewhat.

Hearing that removing "harmful youkai" could earn extra money, he couldn't help but be tempted.

There was no way around it; as a die-hard money lover, he was willing to take two rookies to exorcise a youkai for 100,000 yen.

When Shinjo Isshin heard Yudou's words, he was clearly taken aback. Compared to the other benefits, Yudou was actually concerned about the aspect that others cared the least about?

But seeing that Yudou was clearly tempted, Shinjo Isshin naturally answered all his questions.

"A few thousand yen? Not even enough to buy a clip of holy spirit bullets..."

"If I remember correctly, the reward is categorized based on the level of the harmful youkai.

For E-class harmful youkai, the reward is 10,000 to 50,000 yen.

For D-class harmful youkai, the reward is 50,000 to 300,000 yen.

For C-class harmful youkai, the reward is 300,000 to 1,000,000 yen.

For B-class harmful youkai, the reward is 1,000,000 to 5,000,000 yen.

As for A-class harmful youkai, since none have appeared yet, there is no set reward. However, removing a youkai of this level, most people wouldn't choose cash, which is useless, but other rewards."
