Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 16: Detecting the Anchor Point
In the training ground, Fang You turned off Xing Jinglei's vision.
Rubbed his eyes.
He didn't want to stare at a rough guy for so long, and he needed something nice to calm down.
"Xing Jinglei's talents and awakened abilities are all on the combat side. His combat power is very strong. Now that he has learned the Cannon Fist skill, he can fully exert his strength."
"It would be a waste if he didn't work a few more jobs."
But there is still a problem.
Xing Jinglei was far away in Yunling Prefecture and was not within the range of the map detection, so he could neither be provided with navigation nor obtain destiny point rewards.
Fang You was wondering whether he should call him back to Baiyun Prefecture.
You don't have to come to Baijiang City. Baijiang City is now peaceful. There are almost no evil spirits in the city. If one occasionally breeds, it will be eliminated as quickly as possible.
Heidao and An Jianyou's work assignments are now moved to the suburbs.
It's the edge of the map.
It's time to upgrade the map range.
[Map Detection] (Upgradeable)
●Map range LV2
●Detection accuracy LV1→2
The upgrade requirements from LV2 to LV3 are 30 ghost crystals and 2 destiny points.
Destiny points seem to be just a bonus, serving as a lubricant, but a lot of ghost crystals are needed. 30 ghost crystals are equivalent to 30 white-level items.
Very expensive.
But I had opened a bag of strange crystals before, so that was enough.
Fang You glanced at the main interface.
[Destiny Points: 5.3]
[Strange Crystal: 126]
upgrade!
bite!
The "LV2" on the map detection flickered, accompanied by a little golden light, and changed into a big "LV3" and froze there.
At the same time, on the map of the task interface.
The map was circular, showing the urban area and suburbs of Baijiang City, as well as some surrounding mountains and forests. Further out was a vast expanse of black.
It is an unopened map.
At this moment, the black part was like ripples on the water, peeling away bit by bit, revealing its true self completely.
After more than ten minutes, the map slowly stopped appearing.
Fang You took a look.
The map already includes not only Baijiang City, but also several neighboring cities.
Along with the map, there are also eye-catching, densely packed red task marks.
Except for the inner circle of Baijiang City, the rest of the map is red.
"The map of Baijiang City has been so clean during this period that I almost forgot that the situation is still serious."
"Don't worry about the sporadic evil spirits in the suburbs. Give priority to eliminating the evil spirits in the city."
He looked at them one by one.
There are several main cities that appear on the map.
Jiangbei City is located to the north of Baijiang City.
Shimizu Castle is located west of Shirakawa Castle.
Lindong City is located to the east of Baijiang City.
The situation in Jiangbei City in the north is the most serious. There are six two-star evil spirits in the city area... Although they are all relatively remote areas and have been blocked, they are still time bombs... bombs that can affect an entire street.
There are also two evil stars in Qingshui City and Lindong City.
The quantity is not small.
This may be something the Bureau has already dealt with.
"But the place with the most evil is outside the city."
"We don't have enough energy to deal with the evil spirits outside the city, and there will be more evil spirits growing inside the city."
"There are large areas of mountains and forests between Baijiang City, Qingshui City, and Lindong City. These places are the most dangerous."
Some of the mission markers are particularly bright red.
[Two-star mission (group)]
[Tip: The detection function determines that there are more than three two-star evil spirits and more than ten one-star evil spirits in this mission area. To obtain more detailed information, please upgrade "Precise Detection" or conduct real-life reconnaissance.]
[Two-star mission (group)]
[Two-star mission (group)]
[Three-star mission:? ?]
Different from the urban areas, many one-star and two-star missions here are group missions, and they are in complex mountain environments, which greatly increases the risk factor.
There are even seven three-star missions detected on this map!
Of course, they are all in very remote mountains and forests, rarely visited by people, and the danger they pose may not be as great as the one-star evil spirits in the urban area.
We still have to start cleaning up from those.
Upgrading to the next level of "map range" requires 200 ghost crystals, which is obviously not possible.
After thinking about it, Fang You pressed the upgrade button for "Detection Accuracy".
This feature may not seem to have much benefit at first glance, but it can play a key role in security and can mark and alert some invisible evil.
This kind of reminder is not only for him, but also for apostles such as Heidao and An Jianyou.
It can give you timely “ding dong” reminders in your mind.
But when the detection accuracy is upgraded to LV3...
〔bite!〕
[Tip: The map range and detection accuracy are both upgraded to LV3, unlocking the "anchor point" function. You can place anchor points in other areas to detect the distribution of evil spirits around the anchor points.]
[Tip: It costs 30 ghost crystals to make an anchor point. You can have up to three additional detection anchor points at the current level. The upgrade requirements of the anchor point area "map range" are the same as the main area, and the maximum cannot exceed the main detection map. "Detection accuracy" does not need to be upgraded, and the effect is the same as the main detection map.]
It is equivalent to opening up a new mission map.
Fang You thought for a while, and decided to spend 30 ghost crystals to create an anchor point and zoom in on the current main map of "Baijiang City and surrounding cities".
He swiped the map to the left and soon reached the left edge. Beyond that was a place that had not yet been detected and was completely dark.
Fang You kept swiping to the left for a while, and then he saw a circular frame of a character appear on the dark map.
It was Xing Jinglei who was far away in Yunling Prefecture!
〔bite!〕
[Hint: Should we use the Apostle of Destiny "Xing Jinglei" as the coordinate to place the detection anchor point?]
He chose yes.
Suddenly, like a pebble dropped into water, ripples appeared on the dark map, and a detection map covering half of the city slowly opened up.
Map number two.
The tasks are also marked with red labels above.
It's time to go out on a mission, worker.
…
now,
In the hotel in Yunling City, Xing Jinglei finally recovered after a period of rest.
He was wondering whether to return to the town where he lived before.
He is a hunter of strange and evil spirits active in that area, and is quite famous in the entire western circle of Yunling Prefecture. It is also relying on this reputation and connections that he can find strange and evil spirits one by one.
Otherwise, if he were to search for a monster as invisible and elusive as Guixie alone, he might not be able to find it even once a month.
And he also needs a financial sponsor.
Nowadays, the existence of Guixie is no longer a secret among some wealthy people. Part of his wealth comes from these wealthy sponsors.
You can also take orders, hunt down evil spirits and plunder materials.
The life of the strongest evil hunter in the future is so simple and wealthy.
By the way, he seems to be an organized hunter now.
It's not wild anymore.
But it seems like this organization doesn't take him seriously?
There is no further news.
After all, he is a well-known evil hunter!
He clearly didn't want to be controlled and lose his freedom, but this kind of dispensable and spare tire attitude still made Xing Jinglei feel a little disappointed.
At this time,
A soft "ding" sound rang in his mind.
