Chapter 562 Alliance Hierarchy
"Huh, I finally got away with it."
After dealing with other people with a smile, Yang Ming got on the car leaving the black market under the cover of Yin Yue.
"Well, Lord Yan Kai seems to be very optimistic about you," Yin Yue teased, "I think if you want, you can easily make a name for yourself in the alliance."
"Don't make fun of me," Yang Ming rolled his eyes at Yin Yue, "If I wasn't in a hurry to get out, I wouldn't even plan to get involved with the Carlos Alliance."
"But I really should thank you this time, otherwise it would be difficult for me to escape unscathed by myself."
Yin Yue waved her hand: "Why are you being so polite to me? We are all friends. But by the way, what are your plans next?"
"I plan to go to the Balfam Temple first, and then go to Sala City to complete Dr. Bratano's commission, which is also considered to be fulfilling my promise," Yang Ming said, "but before that I have to go back to the hotel to sleep, it's too late today."
After returning to his residence, Yang Ming took out the certificate given to him by Yin Yue, intending to first understand the internal system and welfare benefits of the alliance.
Among the things that Yin Yue handed him, in addition to the certificate proving his identity as an investigator, there was also a small device, similar to the "Team Rocket Gear" distributed by Team Rocket, which can be used to transport items and Pokémon.
Yang Ming turned on the instrument, inserted his ID, and his basic information quickly appeared on the screen.
"D-level investigator..."
According to the hierarchy shown above, the league's investigators are divided into several levels from low to high: F, E, D, C, B, A, S, SS, and SSS. Among them, level F is an informal member, or a temporary worker, and their treatment and status are equivalent to that of a errand boy of the Rockets.
Level A is an elite investigator who already has considerable authority in the alliance.
The rich girl Yin Yue is an S-class investigator.
The higher SS and SSS levels are the levels of kings and champions. For example, Du, the strongest fighter in the Kanto Alliance, is an SSS-level investigator.
"The highest-ranking executives of the Rockets are only at the King level, and only at the SS level in the league. They are worthy of being the strongest force, and their foundation is very strong." Yang Ming exclaimed.
As for the D-level investigator, I don’t know if it’s a coincidence, but it’s actually similar to the level 2 member status that Yang Ming obtained when he passed the Rockets’ rookie assessment with the first place.
Next, Yang Ming began to look through the benefits that his alliance investigator had.
You won’t know until you see it, the league’s welfare benefits are much higher than those of the Rockets.
As a D-rank investigator, you can receive a certain amount of Poké Balls and medicine for free every month. You can also learn any material you want to learn for free as long as it is within your authority.
The Alliance's Pokémon Centers and friendly stores in various places can also be used for free as an investigator.
When Yang Ming thought about how he had to submit points to learn various materials and use the various facilities of the branch, he felt unhappy. Damn, the difference in treatment was too big.
The resources that really require merit to exchange are various Pokémon and rare items. Compared with the Rockets, although a large number of contribution points are also required to exchange these things in the league, there will be no "shortage in the short term" like the Rockets, which can be said to be rich and powerful.
"This alliance is so rich! No wonder so many people are scrambling to become a member of the alliance." Yang Ming sighed in his heart.
Just then, he noticed some special markings in his information.
"No wonder my salary is so high, it turns out the rich lady has arranged it for me in advance." Yang Ming thought to himself, although ordinary investigators are paid higher than ordinary people, the main reason he can have so many benefits is because of Yin Yue.
"She really went to great lengths to get me into the alliance, tsk tsk tsk."
However, Yang Ming did not regret not joining the alliance. Although the alliance was strong, it had many factions and a complicated system. Joining the alliance might give him more resources, but if he offended some big families inexplicably, it would be more trouble than it was worth.
In comparison, although he had been displaced all the way, he had finally made a name for himself in Team Rocket. Now he had his own confidants and connections, and he was also Sakaki's son's teacher. His position in Team Rocket could be said to be extremely stable, and naturally there was no need for him to change jobs.
Yang Ming used his authority to browse the information that only internal personnel of the Carlos Alliance could access. Although his certificate was only D-level, under Yin Yue's operation, his authority was almost the same as that of a B-level investigator.
"As expected, the Alliance covered up the truth about the Johto Rebellion."
When he was in contact with Xiaozhi and others before, he knew that the alliance had concealed information related to Johto. But when he found that even the internal information of the Carlos Alliance did not show the resurrection of the Rockets, Yang Ming was still very surprised.
"It seems that the Kanto Alliance is under a lot of pressure. Whether it's the rebellion of the three major families or the occupation of Johto by Team Rocket, it's a huge scandal for the alliance. Naturally, they have to cover it up as much as possible to avoid affecting the morale of the grassroots."
However, because of this, the information about Yang Ming was also erased by the league.
"No wonder Yan Kai didn't recognize me just now. Although I wore sunglasses to cover my face, the Carlos Alliance didn't seem to know about the existence of 'Yang Ming, the new member of the Rockets', after some 'operations' by the Kanto Alliance."
This means that Yang Ming will not need to hide his identity when traveling in most areas in the future.
After reading everything he needed to know, Yang Ming turned off the instrument.
"This identity of the League Investigator is still useful to me. At least it will provide me with a lot of convenience when I am out in the world. But in the final analysis, my real identity is still a Team Rocket cadre who cannot be seen in public. If I really get promoted too quickly because of my hard work for the League, sooner or later I will become the target of public criticism because my identity is exposed."
After thinking for a moment, Yang Ming decided to keep his ID, but he did not intend to work for the league. He only wanted to use it as another identity when necessary.
Just as Yang Ming was thinking, there was a knock on the door.
"Hey, why is it you?" Yang Ming looked at Yin Yue outside the door with some surprise.
"It just so happens that I don't have any work recently, so I plan to travel with you," Yin Yue blinked, "Why, you don't welcome me?"
"Not really," Yang Ming sighed, "It's too late today, I'll book another room for you."
"what?"
"what happened?"
"Nothing, I just think you're a bit unromantic."
"Keeping a certain distance physically from the opposite sex is my principle in relationships," Yang Ming said seriously. "By the way, has that lucky Jamaican guy come to your door?"
"You are too impatient. Things like this don't happen so quickly," Yin Yue said with a wry smile. "By the way, Hinata wants to get to know you. She is also one of the talented girls that the alliance has focused on training in recent years. I think if you want to develop in the alliance in the future, you should really build a good relationship with her."
"Forget it, you'd better reject her for me." Yang Ming sighed. He actually had some interest in this "heroine", but his schedule was very tight recently and he really couldn't spare the time to get in touch with her.
