Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 144: Bonuses and Activity Funds

After a clunky web game animation of opening a treasure chest, the system produced two bottles of strength potion and one bottle of hemostatic potion.

At this moment, in Luo An's system inventory, there are 2 bottles of stamina potion, 2 bottles of antidote, 2 bottles of hemostatic potion, 4 bottles of strength potion, 1 bottle of agility potion, 1 bottle of weakness potion, 1 bottle of sleep potion, 1 bottle of water breathing potion, and 1 bottle of fire resistance potion.

Originally there were 9 bottles of stamina potion, but ever since it was confirmed that drinking these potions would leave a small portion of their effects permanently within one's body.

Now, Luo An had formed the good habit of downing a bottle of stamina potion every day after breakfast.

Stamina potion, fortifies the body, boosts various attributes, truly worth having.

After placing the two potions into the system's inventory page, Luo An was bored and getting ready to watch the press conference in front of him, curious about how the Deputy Director would praise Team Number Five in front of a crowd of journalists.

Suddenly, Augustus with his protruding belly, burst into laughter as he pushed open the door and entered the Number Five investigation team.

"Luo An!"

Augustus waved and shouted loudly:

"Come to my office!"

"OK."

Inside the team leader's office, Luo An sat down, and Augustus, with a smile, handed him a folder without any preamble:

"Congratulations, Luo An, your bonus has tripled."

Opening the folder and seeing the notice that the $1500 bonus had tripled to $4500, Luo An immediately grinned:

"Thank you, Sir."

Seeing the smile on Luo An's face, Augustus felt sentimental.

Although Augustus had always worked at the Criminal Justice Department, this was his first time serving as the leader of the Number Five investigation team.

Yet, before this, Augustus was also familiar with the FBI agents' salary and bonus information.

After all, the Criminal Justice Department frequently deals with FBI personnel involved in financial crimes.

Most ordinary FBI agents live off their monthly base salary, and the number of times they receive bonuses is linked to how often they solve cases.

Overall, it's not very often.

Just like when the Number Five investigation team was first established, Reesi and others had never seen a bonus.

But Luo An not only receives a bonus every month, he even manages to double it!

Moreover, glancing down at another folder in his hand, which contained notices of bonuses issued to all members of the Number Five investigation team this month, a smile suddenly appeared on Augustus's dark face.

This is why Augustus grew increasingly fond of Luo An and why he handed over more responsibilities during cases.

Luo An can not only earn money for himself, but also lead every agent of the Number Five investigation team to earn money together!

However, the bonuses were just one reason for Augustus's smile; the actual reason that left him invigorated, happy, and excited was another notice.

Taking the folder handed to him by Augustus, Luo An curiously opened it, only to see written inside:

The operational funds for the Number Five investigation team will be increased by one third above the original amount.

Seeing this, Luo An's eyes lit up, and he looked up at Augustus, asking:

"Sir, this..."

"This is a notice just issued by the special agent supervisor."

Seeing the look in Luo An's eyes, Augustus nodded with a laugh, his back teeth showing:

"Kobert feels our team members of the Number Five investigation team are few in number and our equipment is obsolete, so he specially approved a new fund for us!"

Though that's what was said, both men in the office recognized that this funding was specifically awarded by Kobert because of the quick resolution of an explosion case by Luo An.

Thinking this, Augustus looked towards Luo An with increasingly satisfied eyes, asking loudly:

"Luo An, do you feel that any equipment of our Number Five investigation team is too outdated and needs replacing?"

"Definitely!"

Upon hearing Augustus's words, Luo An immediately smiled and nodded in reply:

"The coffee machine and coffee beans next to the office area....."

Drinking bitter coffee every day, Luo An didn't want to endure it anymore.

Augustus swung his hand:

"Replace!"

Luo An's eyes sparkled, continuing:

"Our chairs....."

He recently saw an office chair that looked very comfortable.

Augustus didn't even blink an eye:

"Swap!"

Luo An tilted his head and thought:

"Our computers?"

The computers used by the current Team Five were all historical remnants left by the previous members of Team Five.

Mona, or for whoever, Luo An didn't know how comfortable the computers were, but he felt they were too lagging even for watching a movie or a video.

Augustus was silent for a moment, then clenched his teeth:

"Swap!"

After all, changing the computers was to better solve cases. It was understandable when there was no extra funding to replace equipment before, but now that there was money and still not exchanging, it somewhat seemed unreasonable.

Luo An thought carefully again, then his eyes lit up:

"Our investigation team's SUV?"

Those SUVs in the parking lot downstairs were also products left by the previous generation of Team Five.

Although there were no major issues, there were plenty of minor ones.

Moreover, Luo An felt that when driving these cars, the speed was not fast enough to reach what he wanted.

Hearing this, Augustus was silent for a few seconds and then said loudly:

"Luo An!"

"What is it, chief?"

"Get out!"

"..."

Seeing Luo An's twitching mouth, Augustus was also speechless.

This money only increased their original budget by one-third, it wasn't like their budget was doubled.

Smiling, Luo An put the folder he was holding back onto the desk, turned around to leave the office, and share the news with the members of Team Five. Suddenly, Augustus remembered something, slapped his forehead, and said:

"Wait a minute, Luo An."

Luo An turned around puzzled, just to see Augustus handing him another folder:

"Remember that Ogden?"

"Of course."

New n𝙤vel chapters are published on freeweɓnøvel.com.

Luo An nodded, Ogden was the bomb fugitive with a $400,000 bounty (Chapter 111).

"He's already been brought to court."

Taking the folder, Augustus said straight:

"The reward has come through too, $100,000 will be distributed into your account before you leave work tonight."

After all, Ogden was found and captured by Reesi, so naturally, she would get the bigger share.

But since the main clue was discovered by Luo An, he would get $100,000.

"Thank you, chief."

With a folder in hand, Luo An smiled:

"I'll pass this message to Reesi."

Augustus nodded and then waved his hand indicating Luo An could leave.

Back at his desk, Luo An began calculating his earnings for this period.

First was the base salary of $3,000, then the tripled bonus of $4,500.

Followed by the $400,000 gratuity after solving the series of bank robberies, and the first month's salary as a security consultant of $12,000.

And finally, the $1,000,000 reward from that CIA case…

Calculating it all, Luo An had a total of $1,419,500.

Looking at the series of numbers in his account, Luo An's face was full of smiles.

Without hesitation, he drove his Chevrolet to Wall Street after work.

It was around the year 2005, Luo An remembered that at this time, Apple's stock price was only about $50.

Thinking of the future, when Apple released the iPhone 5, the stock price soared to $705.05, Luo An's eyes glistened with ambition.

Ding-ling-ling—

Just then, his phone rang unexpectedly in his pocket.

Luo An picked up his phone, frowning sharply because the display showed a number he had never seen before.
