The First Mist Chapter 42 The Key to the Second Form
"From now on, we will address you by your first name. Your code name will be kept confidential, and the missions you perform will be recorded against your code name."
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Although it's not 'absolutely confidential', at least the Xumi Bureau will not link you with your code name. Therefore, even if you are promoted quickly in the club, the Xumi Bureau will not promote you to the first echelon quickly."
"After all, the association trained you in the hope that you would come here to serve as a senior leader after retirement, rather than working for the Xumi Bureau."
"I understand." Xu Shen nodded.
"Here are six purifying agents. Please keep them first. They will be considered as an advance payment for your first month." Zhou Yuanyuan took out a row of purifying agents from a box next to her that looked like a safe.
Xu Shen thought about the six gifts that he still hadn't injected in his room, and there were six more in front of him. He couldn't help but feel that this light-chasing meeting was indeed very generous.
"Sister Yuanyuan, have you reached the second form?" Xu Shen asked curiously after taking the purifying agent.
"Do you think I look like him?" Zhou Yuanyuan blinked. "The guys in the second form are all a little weird."
"eccentric?"
Xu Shen was surprised, thinking of the young man who had traveled through the cave before. The latter didn't seem to be anything special.
Could it be that it was not shown?
"The bureau probably hasn't told you yet. It seems they plan to wait until you enter the first echelon before telling you." Zhou Yuanyuan chuckled and said, "If you are fighting now, you are mobilizing your power to strengthen your body. Because you haven't reached your limit yet, this kind of strengthening will not cause any harm."
"But when you reach your limit and want to increase your physical strength further, you will hit your heart!"
"Our internal organs are deformed into waste flesh, but the heart is very difficult to deform. If we want to achieve the second form , we must deform the heart!"
Zhou Yuanyuan said: "This process is a matter of life and death. Either the heart can't bear it and explodes to death, or the transformation is completed!"
"When you reach the limit of the first form, the bureau will tell you that you must control the increase in your Xu power and not let it reach saturation. Once the Xu power penetrates into your heart, if you don't have experience, you are very likely to die suddenly!"
" This requires repeated attempts and accumulation of experience. When you can control your spiritual energy extremely finely and charge your heart to 100% without overloading and bursting, you will truly transform."
"By then, you won't need the help of the ruins-breaking device. You will be able to enter the ruins world by yourself and have the ability to deal with deep ruins!"
Xu Shen was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that transforming into the second form would be so difficult and dangerous.
Using your heart as a test is like dancing on the edge of death!
"So, training the control over the force is the key to completing the second form?" Xu Shen expressed his own understanding.
“Well, that sums it up very well.”
Zhou Yuanyuan smiled and said, "Controlling Xuli is the most core ability of us Xuslayers. We must keep improving. When you can control Xuli like a thread, you can easily defeat C-level Xu beasts even if you fight in the first form!"
Xu Shen thought about what the bald coach said. No wonder the latter had been urging him to control his strength. Could it be that he was paving the way for this?
"Thank you Sister Yuanyuan for your guidance." Xu Shen hurriedly expressed his gratitude.
"Nothing, these are just common sense."
Xu Shen thought for a moment and said, "Sister Yuanyuan, can I ask about someone who used to be a consul here?"
"Oh?" Zhou Yuanyuan said, "If it's someone with a lower level of authority than you , I can tell you."
"Oh, it's my current captain, Zhou Ye."
"Let me check."
Zhou Yuanyuan turned around and came to a cabinet against the wall. There was a lot of dust on it. She flipped through it quickly and pulled out a stack of files. "I found Zhou Ye... He is a third-class consul. He joined six years ago. His qualifications seem average. He was reluctant to complete several tasks. Later, he was fired from the association."
"Fire?"
Xu Shen was stunned. Captain Zhou had clearly said that he had quit because he felt too tired...
"That's right. If your performance in the first few missions is average, the association will cancel your consular status. After all, the association's resources don't come for free. They need to be used where they are needed most. Not everyone can join us." Zhou Yuanyuan closed the file and threw it back casually, chuckling.
Xu Shen understood.
"It's getting late. You should go out first. There will be other consuls reporting in later."
Zhou Yuanyuan leaned back in her chair and stretched lazily.
"Okay." Lily nodded.
"Oh, right." Zhou Yuanyuan said to Xu Shen, "If you meet a teammate from the Xu Secret Bureau that you know in the club, don't tell them your code name. The club has prepared a code name for you that is public to the Xu Secret Bureau, called 'Xu Yan'. You can use this to refer to yourself in the future."
"Ruins Eye..." Xu Shen's face was strange, and he nodded: "I understand."
Following Lily out of here, Lily said as she walked: "The rules in the club are relatively relaxed. You just need to come and solve the task as soon as you receive it. We will notify you, and we also have combat equipment for you."
"good."
Soon, Lily brought Xu Shen to a "Consular Office".
It was very quiet here. There was a counter blocked by iron bars and an old man sitting behind it.
Lily knocked on the counter twice. The old man put on his glasses and looked over. A big smile suddenly appeared on his face: "Big Lily... did you bring a new consul here again?"
"Well, here's the second-class consul, come to collect the combat equipment." Lily said calmly.
"Second-class? Looks like we found a pretty good guy." The old man smiled, stood up and glanced at Xu Shen. He was a little surprised at Xu Shen's youth, but soon recovered. After all, he had seen many young and strong guys like him, such as the big and round monster girl...
The old man bent down, opened a box at the back with the words "Second-Class Consul" written on it, and took out a stack of things from it.
Xu Shen took a look and saw combat uniforms, the Zhanxu Sword, a communicator different from the one used by the Xu Secret Bureau, and an identity badge of a second-class consul.
Lily picked up these things and handed them to Xu Shen: "We have arranged a place for you in the building. If you don't have a house in the city, you can live here. The nightlife here is very rich and colorful..."
Xu Shen blushed a little when he saw her playful smile, and asked, "Do you want to eat the bag?"
"Of course..." Lily covered her mouth and laughed: "The cafeteria in our club is much better than the Xumi Bureau."
Xu Shen couldn't help feeling a little hungry when he thought of the delicious food at Mona Hotel.
"This communicator looks like a new model just released by the Steam Association. It is a popular model at the moment, but the signal chip inside contains Xushi components, so it can maintain communication even in the Xu Realm."
Lily introduced to Xu Shen: "Although the appearance of this combat uniform is different from that of the Ruins Secret Bureau, the effects are similar. The Zhanxu Sword is also similar in style. I'm afraid you are not used to it. If you have your own preferences, you can apply to customize your own weapon."
Xu Shen took a look. The gray combat uniform was outlined with silver lines and looked extremely close-fitting and soft.
"Big Lily, you can come and play often when you have time."
Seeing Lily leading Xu Shen away, the old man behind the counter shouted.
Lily waved her hand without looking back as a farewell.
Lily took Xu Shen upstairs to a room on a certain floor. She settled Xu Shen down, reminded him of some things to pay attention to in the meeting, and then said goodbye.
Xu Shen walked around the room and felt it was extremely clean and luxurious. However, he did not have high requirements for the living environment. He put his combat uniform and weapons on the table, took the communicator, locked the room, went downstairs and left.
This communicator must be worn at all times, and you will be notified at any time when there is a mission.
"The Light Chaser..."
Xu Shen looked back at the building, and suddenly he saw Maeve jumping out from a floor somewhere, landing lightly like an elf, and jogging towards him.
Although Maeve was always around him, she would disappear occasionally, just like a happy child running out to play. Xu Shen knew that most of the time Maeve went out to find food.
She wouldn’t... Xu Shen’s heart tightened as he looked at Maeve running towards him happily.
Could it be that her delicious food is in this light-chasing party?
Xu Shen didn't stay long. He called a taxi and left, returning to the Xu Secret Bureau.
Not long after Xu Shen left, an angry roar from a high-ranking member of the Light Chasing Club was heard. A D-level Ruin Beast that he had raised in the club had actually died!
Moreover, its body was broken and many internal organs were missing!
This news alarmed the entire Light Chasing Club, and they immediately searched the entire building, but no one with suspicious whereabouts was found.
