For now, Rian had no interest in joining the FBI or DEA.
He wasn't some patriotic servant of Uncle Sam—why would he give up LAPD's cushy gig of working one day and resting seven?
Administrative leave with full pay!
Even if he joined the Secret Service to protect the President, it wouldn't come with perks like this.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in either the FBI or DEA."
"Once LAPD, always LAPD."
Rian declined bluntly, making his position clear.
Staying with the LAPD was ideal—but a little rank and pay bump wouldn't hurt either.
Alicia beamed with joy after hearing his response.
"Rian, you're one of the good ones!"
She turned proudly to glare at Samuel and Thomas.
"Rian, go back to the station and file a report about today's operation."
Since Alicia had officially ended his administrative leave, his actions in taking down ten armed traffickers were deemed legitimate law enforcement.
She didn't want those two weasels sticking around trying to poach him any longer.
"Yes, ma'am!"
Rian turned and left. Samuel and Thomas looked like they wanted to say something, but Alicia blocked them off and diverted the conversation to who had jurisdiction over the case and the seized drugs.
Once back ashore, Rian called Lizzy and Taylor to tell them he was headed back to the station.
The moment he stepped into the precinct, he was treated like a returning war hero.
"Whoa! Our combat champ is back!"
"Nice work, Rian! You're incredible!"
"You're my hero!"
"God, your luck is insane!"
The office buzzed with admiration and applause.
Though Rian had barely logged a full day's worth of shifts, the wild experiences he'd lived through could outshine most officers' entire careers.
Some officers don't get administrative leave for years.
After all, not everyone can claim multiple confirmed kills in the line of duty.
Rian got to work on his report, but first, he checked his latest system rewards.
Just one glance and his eyes lit up with excitement—Jackpot!

Rian headed to the restroom and locked the door before spending his attribute points.
He distributed them like this: +2 Constitution, +1 to each remaining stat.
As soon as he confirmed, a jolt of electricity surged through him—his body went rigid for five whole minutes.
"Damn, note to self: don't dump all the points at once."
Good thing he'd come to the restroom. Five minutes of paralysis out in the open, and someone might've called an ambulance.
But now—he was stronger.
His mind felt sharper too. This wasn't just physical—it was a life-level upgrade.
Next: Skill upgrades.
Priority: Handgun L3 → L4 Master.
With that, he felt like if you gave him a pistol, he could solo a SEAL team.
Unfortunately, he couldn't push it to L5 yet—likely due to unmet system conditions.
Still had four upgrades left. He chose:
Driving L3 → L4 MasterReproduction L3 → L4 MasterClose Combat L2 → L4 Master
Yes, he picked Reproduction. It's not just fun—it builds stamina.
The other two boosted survival and combat efficiency.
Four master-level skills are unlocked!
His head throbbed a bit—that was from the system injecting vast experience into his brain all at once.
He shook it off and used the Storage Upgrade.
He thought it'd bump to 2 m³.
Nope—it became 8 m³!
Each dimension grew by 1 meter. The math checks out.
"System, let's roll the dice—five spins!"
Now came the most exciting part of all: the lottery.
