I am becoming the ultimate demon.

Chapter 40 Integrating Resources and Strengthening the Foundation

Ji Lin officially took over some of the family's core businesses, such as the martial arts industry and the security escort agency.

He not only has the power to appoint personnel, but he can now directly set his own rules.

Under the existing rules, everyone is waiting to be assigned tasks and have their schedules arranged.

Having lost their initiative, they simply wait for their paychecks each month, then wait for the next month, in a vicious cycle.

He always felt that the existing set of rules was insufficient to motivate the clansmen.

To become stronger, some reward and punishment mechanisms are needed.

For example, a contribution point system can be established, where everyone can hand in spoils and complete corresponding tasks to earn contribution points.

Contribution points can be exchanged for resources, cultivation techniques, weapons, magical artifacts, money, and more.

Everyone can freely post tasks, form teams freely in their spare time, and trade freely.

However, how to freely trade these contribution points has become a problem.

So Ji Lin went to the Jubao Pavilion in the prefectural capital, found Steward Luo, and told him his needs.

Is it possible to customize a batch of Jifu tokens with special functions for the exchange of contribution points?

Upon hearing this, Deacon Luo immediately understood what was going on.

"This is simple. Many major sects are already using it. I didn't expect Young Master Ji to start doing this too. It's been a long time. It seems your business is developing very quickly."

Ji Lin was overjoyed; the matter was settled.

After returning to the Ji residence, he first took out his most prized possessions:

Various magical artifacts for dealing with anomalies were placed in a treasure vault he had set up, which his clansmen could exchange for.

He first convened a short meeting with the staff of his various departments.

"As you can see, this is a magical artifact that can deal with demons. It is worth a fortune. As long as you have enough contribution points, you can come and exchange for it."

Upon seeing that the Demon-Suppressing Seal, the Haotian Hammer, and the Demon-Slaying Sword were all available, everyone handed over their spoils to exchange for contribution points.

All kinds of martial arts, weapons, low-level magic artifacts, pills, and unusual items are available for exchange for contribution points, which quickly filled the Treasure Pavilion's inventory.

These magical artifacts weren't of much use to Ji Lin, as he obtained them while handling unusual missions.

However, for martial artists and awakened individuals with low strength, this world is prone to unusual events at any time.

Having an extra magical artifact to counter abnormalities is like having an extra life.

Not everyone is like Ji Lin, who can use the system to identify patterns in murders when encountering strange occurrences.

For them, every time something like this happens, several people die before they can figure out the bizarre pattern of the killings.

Therefore, everyone wants to earn more contribution points so that they can exchange them for those mid-level magic items as soon as possible.

Furthermore, Ji Lin announced that those who redeemed their items within the first three days would receive a 15% discount, which immediately caused a stir among the crowd.

"Hey bro, could this be a scam? If we hand over our stuff, is there any chance we'll get it back?"

"Let's wait and see how they change things. It's not too late to decide whether to change them or not in two days."

The two relatively cautious but skilled individuals hesitated, unsure of Young Master Ji's motives.

They were willing to put such treasures in to exchange for magical artifacts to deal with anomalies. With the frequent outbreaks of anomalies, these artifacts had long been priceless and unavailable.

However, some people discovered that among the items they had just handed in, there were some they wanted, so they exchanged them on the spot.

"I want that martial art from next door, yes, that movement technique!!"

The person took out their newly acquired token, swiped it, and the contribution points were transferred.

This token was a magical artifact crafted by Ji Lintuo's Treasure Pavilion, and it has a simple memory function.

Although it cannot store visual information, it is still easy to use abnormal energy to create martial arts texts, calculate numbers, and so on.

As more and more people exchanged their items, the reputation of the Treasure Pavilion gradually improved.

Ji Lin also considered that the Ji family's experts were always too weak; even first-, second-, and third-rate experts would have difficulty protecting themselves against ordinary abnormal beings.

Not to mention dealing with some powerful enemies, so that more suitable people can fill the night patrol team.

You can hand over some low-level cultivation techniques from the Treasure Pavilion to the system for improvement.

Some of the improved basic skills will be made available to promising servants and night patrol members.

This will also greatly raise their standards, at which point all the skilled fighters in the Ji family will be like dragons.

The best players are selected as official team members, while those who are less skilled can be selected as reserve team members.

Soon, a system-improved version of the "Ji Family Boxing Techniques" was created, which included content on internal energy cultivation.

Those with good comprehension and innate talent can practice this technique all the way up to the Grandmaster level without any problem; its power is also quite good.

Anyone in the Night Patrol Team can practice martial arts, and even low-level Awakened Ones can cultivate.

Among the servants, those with good aptitude and comprehension can cultivate, and the secret medicinal soups for training are directly provided by the Ji family.

This news attracted even more people willing to join the Ji family, drawing in many promising talents.

After strengthening the military power of the Ji family, he began to study those so-called abnormal substances.

The tokens customized by Jubao Pavilion gave him some inspiration.

We must find out why this unusual substance can be freely absorbed by awakened individuals and why it has so many functions.

If we can directly produce anomalous substances, or develop some new functions like the Treasure Pavilion.

Then his path to becoming a demon would be much smoother.

So he used the resources he obtained from the pseudo-immortal cult and the black market to select some intelligent people, especially those with abnormalities.

They established an anomalous workshop in a secret manor outside the city and began small-scale research into the application of anomalous substances.

This can be handled by Tang Wu. He is meticulous and thoughtful, and there is no one more suitable than him in the Ji family.

"Boss, what are you researching? I don't understand this at all!" Tang Wu asked, puzzled.

"Just mess around with it, do whatever you like."

Ji Lin took out all sorts of magical artifacts with special functions that he had purchased from Jubaoge and explained them to him one by one, carefully sensing the differences in the abnormal energy inside.

Anyway, he didn't have high hopes in the early stages, so when there were no missions, he was allowed to think things through.

We may not see any results, but we cannot stop researching, in case we discover something extraordinary.

Each item is priceless; otherwise, how could Jubaoge have enjoyed such a thriving presence in the prefecture?

He also purchased an authentic copy of "Basic Body Refining Techniques" from Jubaoge at a high price, which cost him two magical artifacts.

The Basic Body Refinement Technique can effectively improve a cultivator's physique, strength, and a small amount of agility.

This means that with this "Basic Body Refinement Technique" manual, the night patrol team members no longer need to rely on absorbing abnormal energy to improve their strength every day.

This provides a relatively safe method for the systematic training of night patrol teams.

To reduce the anxiety of awakened individuals about advancing, they can continue cultivating until they reach a bottleneck, at which point Ji Lin will provide them with the corresponding abnormal energy to break through and level up.

He discovered that the more balanced an awakened being's four-dimensional attributes are, the easier it is for them to break through bottlenecks.

However, in the future, any abnormal energy that can enhance mental strength should be prioritized for the team members to use for breakthroughs.

He can use the system to balance his four-dimensional attributes, so he doesn't need to have any special requirements for them; as long as he can absorb them, that's fine.

With this manual, a major problem has finally been solved:

Sometimes there isn't enough abnormal energy to go around, and if you absorb it all, the team members' strength won't improve.

If I distribute too much to my teammates, my own progress will be too slow.

He will be able to absorb any abnormal energy he acquires in the future, according to his own needs.

Team members who make special contributions can naturally receive some of the abnormal energy.

Just as Ji Lin had finished consolidating resources and his business was booming, he attracted the attention of the state government...
