Shen Qiang looked at Qian Shanxue in astonishment, "What do you mean, no rewards and now you're stopping my position as well?"

Qian Shanxue smiled, her beauty reminiscent of a snow lotus blooming on an icy mountain. "The Newcomer Protection Plan is a reward in itself. Ordinary cultivators cannot get such treatment at all. Simply put, starting from now, not only you, but also your parents have been included in the protection plan."

Shen Qiang's eyes immediately lit up; indeed, if this was the case, it undeniably was good news.

"The higher-ups do this only hoping you can grow stronger without threats and additionally, making such a decision was also because you've been too conspicuous, especially with the extraordinarily high bounties on the Bounty Hunters platform, which will definitely attract the attention of some strong figures."

"So believe me, the Newcomer Protection Plan is not neglect but rather the prelude to your brilliant shine in the Cultivation World."

Shen Qiang took a deep breath and said, "Alright then, I accept this protection plan."

Her slender, snow-white hand reached out in front of Shen Qiang, and Qian Shanxue said earnestly, "Your ID and military uniform, hand them over to me."

"Can't I keep them?" Shen Qiang asked in astonishment.

Qian Shanxue shook her head. "All you can keep is that cell phone; the ID and uniform must be temporarily taken back. They'll be given back to you once the Newcomer Protection Plan is over."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment, flicked his wrist, and the uniform and ID that were in the Storage Ring appeared in Qian Shanxue's hands.

Qian Shanxue stored them away properly.

Just then, Ye Xiaolei, with eyes full of surprise, said, "Senior Shen, congratulations, congratulations! I fought so long for the Newcomer Protection Plan but never got it."

Shen Qiang frowned slightly, "Being protected only shows that one is not strong enough; there's nothing to congratulate me about."

Seeing that Shen Qiang seemed not very fond of the Newcomer Protection Plan, Ye Xiaolei, with eyes gleaming and filled with admiration, said, "You really deserve to be Senior Shen. The protection plan of the Dragon Group is something every member dreams of because it represents absolute safety."

"Senior Shen looks completely indifferent; truly the demeanor of a strong man."

Hearing this, Aili, who always liked to disagree with Shen Qiang, spoke up, "It's indeed a good decision. The higher-ups are protecting this troublemaker, which prevents him from holding us back and saves us the trouble of worrying about this guy whose cultivation is ridiculously weak."

Shen Qiang glanced at her and didn't react, but Ye Xiaolei's eyes were bent into smiles.

"Sister Aili, I remember last night you seemed very afraid of Senior Shen's abilities."

Aili was stunned, then angrily said, "Impossible, how could I ever be afraid of this rookie."

At that moment, Qian Shanxue interjected, "I've made the situation clear now. You can keep your cell phone; all applications are usable, but you won't receive any tasks. That's it. Aili, Ye Xiaolei, you have five minutes to pack up your things, and then we'll leave."

The two of them agreed and immediately began packing their things in the room.

Only Shen Qiang and Qian Shanxue were left in the living room.

After hesitating for a moment, Shen Qiang asked, "How long will this protection plan last?"

"Until the Nascent Soul Stage," Qian Shanxue looked at Shen Qiang very seriously. "Once your cultivation reaches the Nascent Soul Stage, the Newcomer Protection Plan will end, and you will return to your post. Until then, you can live like an ordinary person."

"Work, fall in love, make money, do business, you are free to live however you want."

Shen Qiang was silent for a moment, then asked, "Will someone take over my duties?"

Qian Shanxue was silent for a moment before saying, "Not for now, but there definitely will be if it takes long."

Shen Qiang was silent; in fact, the arrival of Qianshan Xue, Aili, and Ye Xiaolei was a very satisfying combination for Shen Qiang.

Although Aili loved to disagree and was not very smart, she would consider others when it really mattered.

Qian Shanxue possessed immense combat power.

Although Shen Qiang still had no clear understanding of Ye Xiaolei's abilities by now, she was very beautiful and cute.

In the short term, the absence of medical staff accompanying them wasn't a big problem, but in the long run, it definitely wouldn't work.

If another team doctor replaced Shen Qiang's position,

then, by the time Shen Qiang's protection period ended, what might have been left for him could be another position.

The new boss could likely be a monster with a bushy beard, a palm-wide patch of chest hair, and big yellow teeth, or possibly a sleazy uncle. Finding another beautiful, generous boss who would lend money without frowning wouldn't be easy.

"Maybe I should cultivate quicker,"

Shen Qiang thought darkly.

At that moment, having finished packing, Ali and Ye Xiaolei had already come out of the guest room.

"Hey, you who always causes trouble, don't make us wait too long." Ali's words were still cold.

Ye Xiaolei, with eyes full of admiration, said, "Senior Shen is so powerful, he will surely reach the Nascent Soul Stage quickly, and then we can be together again."

Shen Qiang smiled, "Take care."

"You take care too,"

Ye Xiaolei had just finished speaking,

Qian Shanxue, one hand on each of them, said, "Let's go."

With that, the three of them vanished instantly.

Shen Qiang was startled, turned his head, and stared at the unmoved door, angrily exclaimed, "Hey, can't you use the door? Is it just for decor?"

But after waiting a long while, Shen Qiang got no response.

All that was left was an empty living room.

The constantly contrarian Ali, Ye Xiaolei who got nervous upon seeing Shen Qiang, the beautifully figured and stunning-faced Qian Shanxue who liked to stand by the railing and watch the scenery, were all gone.

After a moment of silence, Shen Qiang returned to his bedroom and flopped onto the bed.

"Good riddance, the world is so quiet now. Ali was simply annoying, Qian Shanxue always had that sour face, and Ye Xiaolei was cute to the point of being dumb. It's better that they left," as he idly tapped on his cellphone, Shen Qiang felt inexplicably irritable.

"The Nascent Soul Stage, huh? It's not that hard; I'll just keep cultivating until I get there."

Getting up, he walked to the window and looked at the deserted patio garden.

Shen Qiang sighed after several minutes of silence.

"Damn, suddenly feeling so bored, what a crappy newcomer protection plan."

"Other people might take three to five years to cultivate from the Qi Condensation stage to the Nascent Soul Stage, but who am I? Shen Qiang! For me, cultivating to the Nascent Soul Stage is as easy as flipping my hand, just a few months at most. Just you wait, I really look forward to seeing Ali's surprised face."

Putting on his jacket, Shen Qiang went downstairs.

"To do a good job, one must first sharpen one's tools. If I want to cultivate at high speed, I can't do it without strong financial support. It's time to pay some attention to my new store."
