Section 7: Seeking Redemption

006 had not gleaned much from the knight youth, but the youth, on the other hand, had reaped a fair amount.

At last, the youth ventured to ask 006, if he were to join and carry out the Empire's secret tasks, what benefits would there be?

006 immediately offered a response.

There would indeed be benefits, and quite substantial ones at that. Moreover, the support one received would be determined based on the defector's cultivation, strength, and merit. There was a complete set of rules that was neither complicated nor comprehensive.

This made the knight youth think of his experiences on Mysterious Monster Island. During that time, he had taken in Zong Ge and others and, upon discovering the threat of the Blue Dog Fox Wolf, had started to subjugate the surrounding beast herds within the camp. Zi Di and Cang Xu, in order to counterbalance Zong Ge, had devised a list of material exchanges.
