No Salary
The more Lin Mu explored with his new elemental Qis the more he learned about them.
After a day, he had an estimate of how his control over them was. From this, he learned that for battle, he certainly shouldn't use them.
'It would be fine if it's a spar or perhaps a fight against someone weaker than me. But in a full fledge battle it won't be good as the delay would be too long.' Lin Mu thought to himself. 'I'll need to continue practicing and also try to improve the size of my cores.' He understood.
The first was something he was already doing, but the second was something that would take more resources.
"Now that you have a higher position in this empire, why don't you just ask them for it?" Xukong suddenly suggested.
"Would that be fine?" Lin Mu asked.
"As an Imperial Imperator, I believe you also get a salary… If you feel bad taking it for free, you can just offset it with that." Xukong replied.
