Chapter 462: Chapter 234: Promotion and a Raise, a New Peak in Life

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a prize: Low-Grade Gathering Spirit Pill]

Not bad.

Keep drawing!

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a prize: Mid-grade Water Spirit Stone]

A Mid-grade Water Spirit Stone. Excellent.

Draw again!

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a prize: Thousand-Year-Old Willow Wood Heart]

’I can improve my Spiritual Root’s quality again!’

[Congratulations, Host, you have drawn a prize...]

...

He did twenty consecutive draws in one go.

He had once again obtained the five Spiritual Objects that could enhance one’s Spiritual Root quality: the Three-tailed Spirit Fish, Fire Qilin Fruit, Thousand-Year-Old Willow Wood Heart, Stone Jade, and Nine Heavens Cloud Gold.

He also received another full set of the Five Elements Mid-grade Spirit Stones: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth.

Evidently, the system was once again helping him accelerate his cultivation speed.

Besides the Spiritual Objects and Spirit Stones, he also received one more of each of the following: a Low-Grade Gathering Spirit Pill, a Spirit Awakening Pill, a Nourishing Essence Pill, and a Profound Yellow Blood Transformation Pill.

The remaining items were things like Vitality Nutrient Cream, calming powder, and Hundred Beasts Detoxification Powder.

All in all, this lottery session was excellent; there were none of the usual common rewards.

...

...

The annual meeting ended.

On the morning of his second day back in Donghua, Yang Qi received a WeChat message from Tong Xiaoyue, which included several photos and a short video.

The photos showed the Red Star Zoo’s star leopard couple.

The wild male leopard and the female leopard, Hua Hua, were lying side-by-side on a sun-drenched rockery platform, affectionately licking each other’s necks with relaxed and natural expressions.

In another photo, the two leopards were even snuggled together on a large, custom-made hammock designed for big cats, sleeping soundly.

The short video captured a heartwarming scene.

Hua Hua gently nudged the male leopard with her head. He lazily opened his eyes and responded by rubbing his cheek against hers, a contented purr rumbling in his throat, before they both closed their eyes again.

Tong Xiaoyue sounded very happy in her voice message.

"The two leopards are getting along exceptionally well. Since yesterday, they’ve been inseparable—eating, resting, and playing together. Hua Hua even lets the male leopard eat first."

"I’ve been observing their behavior. If all goes as expected, the two leopards have already formed a stable pair bond. Now we just have to wait and see when they’ll have cubs."

After listening to the voice message, Yang Qi smiled as he looked at the photos and video of the two leopards getting along harmoniously.

This leopard matchmaking venture was, for the most part, a success.

He immediately sent a message back to Tong Xiaoyue to congratulate her.

...

「The next day, in the afternoon.」

Yang Qi had just finished the routine cleaning of the gray wolf enclosure and returned to his mountainside dorm.

His phone rang. He picked it up and saw the caller ID: Shao Wei.

"Advisor Yang, are you busy? Is now a good time?" Shao Wei’s voice was cheerful.

"Captain Shao, I just finished up. I’m in my dorm. What’s on your mind?" Yang Qi replied.

"Good that you’re home. We’re on our way over to drop something off for you. Wait for us!" Shao Wei said before hanging up.

’Dropping something off?’

A thought stirred in Yang Qi’s mind as an idea occurred to him.

He immediately changed his clothes.

Then he went outside to wait.

While waiting, he watered a few of his potted plants.

Soon, the sound of a car engine approached.

A moment later, a police car pulled up at the entrance to his yard.

The car door opened, and Shao Wei got out first, followed by two young police officers in uniform, a man and a woman. The female officer was holding a square box covered with a red cloth.

"Captain Shao!"

Yang Qi went out to greet them.

"Advisor Yang, sorry to impose."

Shao Wei smiled, stepped forward to shake his hand, and then introduced the two behind him. "This is Xiaowang and Xiaoli from my team. Come on, let’s talk inside."

"Please, come in," Yang Qi said, showing the three of them into the house.

In the living room, Yang Qi made tea for his guests.

Shao Wei took the teacup, blew on it to cool it down, but didn’t drink right away. Instead, he looked at Yang Qi and smiled. "Advisor Yang, we’ve come today specifically to thank you, and also to present you with a ’banner’! Although, this ’banner’ is a bit special."

As he spoke, he gestured to the female officer, Xiaoli.

Xiaoli immediately stepped forward, placed the square box she was holding on the coffee table, and carefully removed the red cloth covering it.

Underneath the red cloth wasn’t a banner, but an exquisite display box.

Inside the box lay a certificate of honor with a dark blue cover and gilt lettering, a finely crafted, gleaming commemorative police badge, and a red envelope with the word "Bonus" printed on it.

Shao Wei personally took the certificate of honor from the box and handed it to Yang Qi with both hands. His expression turned serious. "Advisor Yang, on behalf of the city’s Economic Crime Investigation Division, I would like to formally thank you and your partner, Liu Fu, for your outstanding contributions and selfless assistance in the last operation to crack down on economic crime and investigate the ’Old K’ case."

"With approval from our superiors, we are specially conferring upon Liu Fu the title of ’Honorary Police Lizard,’ and presenting this certificate of honor, commemorative police badge, and a special bonus of ten thousand yuan as encouragement."

[Congratulations, Host! Your Spirit Binder’s Spirit Beast, the "Cyan Green Stinging Dragon," has received a title from the Immortal Dynasty Office and been blessed with great fortune! When the Host cultivates, you will receive a certain amount of fortune feedback, providing extra assistance and support when seeking enlightenment or breaking through realms!]

’Just as I thought!’

Just like when Xiaojiu and Bai Wan received their titles of "Honorary Police Cat" and "Honorary Police Dog," Liu Fu had also been "blessed with great fortune."

...

Yang Qi took the certificate and opened it. Inside, written in neat, formal script, it read: "The title ’Honorary Police Lizard’ is hereby conferred upon ’Liu Fu’ in recognition of his outstanding ability and prominent contributions while assisting public security agencies in the investigation of criminal cases."

The signatory was the Donghua City Public Security Bureau, and it was stamped with a bright red official seal.

The commemorative police badge was custom-made—a size smaller than a standard badge and more exquisitely detailed. The back was engraved with "Honorary Police Lizard Liu Fu" and the date.

The red envelope was heavy in his hand, filled with exactly ten thousand yuan in cash.

"Captain Shao, this is too much. Liu Fu was just doing what little he could to help."
