Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 4: The Awakener of Baijiang Branch
The next day,
When I opened my eyes, I saw a strange ceiling.
Fang You was stunned for a moment before he realized that he was already in Xinhuo's base.
The bedroom is large.
I slept very soundly last night. At least I didn’t have to worry about safety issues inside the base, unlike outside... Thinking of the invisible evil that I encountered yesterday, Fang You frowned.
If this happened at home, I wouldn't be able to sleep well.
I think An Jianyou and Hei Tong are sleeping soundly here too.
Fang You picked up his phone and opened the item list.
[Novice Weapon (White): 10]
[Secret potion for physical fitness (white): 12]
[Skill Training Card (White): 32]
[Skill Training Card (Green): 6]
[Double Profit Card (White): 1]
[Skill Seed (Blue): 2]
[Weird Crystal: 12]
[Destiny Points: 58.7]
Among them, the double income card could not be used in the previous special tasks, so it has been retained until now.
He wasn't sure if he could use the three-star mission. After all, it was just a white-level income card and he couldn't force it. He would try again after he got a three-star mission.
If not, use it on the two-star mission.
Fang You opened the task module.
Compared to his screenshots yesterday, there were several more tasks today, including a two-star task. He took a look and found that the location was very remote, so it was okay, not a big problem.
Let Brother Black Knife come over later.
Well, there is no need to deliver it from today onwards. The entrance to the base has been opened, and special apostles like Brother Black Knife can also step out of the base. This was verified yesterday.
This way, Brother Black Knife is no longer restricted to the one-hour delivery time limit.
Work efficiency can at least be increased several times.
He regained his position as the first worker in Xinhuo, and his efficiency in earning strange crystals increased significantly. The fourth and fifth apostles of destiny are just around the corner.
Of course, the most urgent task is to select secondary apostles.
Fang You is getting ready to go out.
He glanced at his dashboard before going out.
[Savior of Destiny (Double Awakening)]
[Physique: 11.4 ]
〔Spirit: 6.7→6.8〕
[Mystery: 0.33]
[Life Energy: 9.1+5]
[Equipment: Novice Wooden Sword, Lighting White Robe, Sealed Treasure Box]
[Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery: 37.8%), Evil Tracking (Mastery: 5.6%), Palm Thunder (Expert: 5.1%), Detection (Proficient: 0.6%), Trick Defense (Proficient Level Temporary), Blade Slash (Beginner: 7.2%), Trick Defense (Beginner: 7.3%)]
[Ability: Burning Faith]
[Special: Black pupils]
Among them, Evil Tracking was upgraded to the mastery level last night.
The price is -3 skill training cards, and now there are only 32 left.
32 cards may seem like a lot, but if we consider that 3 cards are required for “skilled → proficient” and 9 cards for “proficient → expert”, then to advance from expert level to the next level, at least 27 white training cards are needed.
You also need one to break through the bottleneck, which may be green or blue level.
It's too expensive, there's no way he could spend it on this.
These skill training cards cannot be used indiscriminately. Some have to be kept for training new people. Even if they are used on him and Brother Black Knife, they can only be upgraded to expert level at most.
Any higher, that won’t work.
It is better to work hard on your own training. One has to be ruthless. If you are ruthless, you can save a lot of training cards.
But I have to go out now. I'll exercise when I come back.
Fang You opened the map navigation and planned a route for himself.
Today's task is to screen the targets and eliminate the evil. Little by little, your wallet will not be empty.
…
Outside Baijiang City, Jiangming Temple.
Master Mingdeng, who was wearing loose clothes, broke another sandbag.
The young monk Jianxing muttered, "Master is such a spendthrift. Why does he have to feel bad for the sandbag?"
He looked at his own arms and legs, then glanced at his master's muscles, and had to admit that his master's arms were thicker than his waist.
But, what can you do? It’s no better than a string of Buddhist beads.
Alas, the little monk is busy chanting sutras by himself, but his Buddhist teachings are far less profound than those of the master, and he earns less money. Alas, Master, you are wasting your Buddhist teachings.
However, Master Mingdeng was determined and as stubborn as a bull.
Chanting scriptures cannot save the world . After the battle in the southern suburbs, Master Mingdeng was more certain of this.
Firstly, the Investigation Bureau has developed fire beads and thunder talismans, so there are substitutes for the Buddhist scriptures and beads.
It doesn't matter whether he recites more or less.
Secondly, whether it is the fire beads and thunder talismans or the scripture beads, they can only deal with weaker evil spirits. The powerful evil spirits have to be dealt with by powerful awakened people.
The black-clad master chopped off the evil spirits with his sword, and Master Mingdeng's blood boiled as he watched.
The sky was filled with angry thunder and lightning, which made him see the light and hope! This path was not wrong. Only by awakening could there be hope to save the world.
However, this was just his wishful thinking. The Investigation Bureau still did not want a noble talent like him to go to the battlefield.
Master Mingdeng enjoys extremely high welfare benefits in the Investigation Bureau, but he is not a member of the Investigation Bureau after all. He does not have the power of an investigator and cannot come up with reasons to convince Director Zhou. The best he can do on the battlefield in the southern suburbs is to recite Buddhist scriptures.
Others, want to get rid of evil?
As a free man and a wizard who can convince others with reason, the Investigation Bureau really cannot stop him, and Master Mingdeng has also thought about eliminating the evil on his own.
He has Buddhist beads and burning lamps, so he can deal with most common evil spirits.
only,
Without the clues provided by the Investigation Bureau, he couldn't find Guixie! Even if he found him, he couldn't see him!
Master Mingdeng is not confused about the road ahead, and is determined to use the power of awakening to save the evil.
But how can we dispel evil, embrace mystery, and achieve awakening?
Master Mingdeng bombarded the sandbag and kept thinking.
…
"Twelve investigators touched upon awakening, and only four succeeded."
In the office, Director Zhou sighed.
The awakening rate of one third may seem high, but the consequence of failed awakening is death, which can result in death at the very least, or transformation into an evil spirit at the worst.
Everyone feels heavy-hearted as elite investigators lose their lives one after another.
Naturally, these twelve investigators are not all from the Baijiang Branch. Most of them are not. In the entire Baijiang, including Director Zhou, there are only fifteen official investigators in total.
This time, two people touched upon awakening, and one succeeded.
"Old Wei has awakened, but I haven't."
Jiang Tingqiu went crazy.
The awakening process is dangerous? He believes that it is not a problem for him to endure the difficulty of awakening. The problem is that he just can't awaken!
This is unreasonable!
Even though the chance of awakening is very low, there are many first-level investigators participating in the battle of South Suburbs this time. However, Jiang Tingqiu is very upset because he has not awakened despite his excellence.
He went to bed early and got up early every day these days to keep energetic, but still nothing came of his wait.
He is not even an awakened one, so how can he seek advice from Brother Black Knife?
In anger, Jiang Tingqiu picked up Director Zhou's collection of tea, grabbed a handful, made tea, and drank it all in tons.
So hot!
Director Zhou's face turned blue, getting bluer and bluer, and he was sweating profusely.
This symptom seems to be...
"Old Zhou..."
"Shit, Old Zhou has awakened!!"
