Volume 2: The Growing Flame Chapter 65: Xinhuo Training Course
"This training base of Xinhuo was rebuilt on the basis of the original Shuilan Resort."
“It may not take long to build, but it is very difficult.”
The one who spoke was the strongest man in the Shuize State Bureau, Crazy Thunder Blade Fu Feng.
At the beginning, the Investigation Bureau was not clear about the relationship between Pei Hongjing and Xinhuo. They just thought he was an outstanding civilian awakener. In order to invite him, an investigator went to his home in person.
In the end, they didn't even see the door and just kept wandering around the mountain roads. Of course, they didn't have an appointment that time, but they did this time.
As the convoy drove to the foot of the mountain, they saw people from Xinhuo waiting there. They had communicated before coming. At this time, the guards of the Xinhuo base were driving in front to lead the way, and several official cars in their group slowly followed.
There is only one road leading from the foot of the mountain to the resort on the mountain. It is winding but has no forks. From the foot of the mountain, you can still see some buildings in the mountains and the road that extends all the way to the end.
But as the vehicle slowly drove in, the white fog in the mountains gradually spread, covering the area and blocking the view on both sides, so that one could only see a few meters away.
However, this winding road was not covered and the road signs ahead could still be seen.
All these magical scenes were eye-opening for the special investigators who had experienced numerous mysterious events.
Fu Feng looked out the window and said, "We have a guide today. Otherwise, according to the description of our two investigators, the entire road would be covered in white fog, and you wouldn't be able to see clearly a few meters away."
"What's even more amazing is that even though the visibility is very poor and the car keeps spinning in the fog and can't reach the end, it doesn't run off the road and fall off the cliff. Even when the car turns around and drives back, it can get back to the bottom of the mountain in a short time."
"I didn't understand it before, but seeing it today, this is a Xinhuo base, and it suddenly makes sense to me."
Because the white fog was very thick, the vehicles were not moving very fast.
The investigators were not in a hurry. They had just arrived at Xinhuo's territory and everything around them was still new to them. They looked at the thick white fog outside the window, which looked like a fairyland against the backdrop.
As they went deeper, they even discovered that the white fog outside the road was rolling, sometimes turning into ferocious beasts, sometimes turning into flying birds, which was both dreamy and mysterious.
This visit was really the right one!
…
"arrive!"
"This is Xinhuo's training base."
"I'm finally getting to see Xinhuo's true appearance."
Director Huang took a deep breath and was the first to get off the official car.
This is the entrance to the resort. Originally, there were big words "Water Blue Resort" hanging on it, but now, the original gate has been demolished and replaced by a more magnificent gate guarded by two huge stone tablets.
The words "薪火" are written on it.
The words were like flames, burning fiercely, and the investigators seemed to be excited when they saw them.
But they still remember that they have to be prudent and not let down the reputation of the Investigation Bureau.
…
Living room,
The conversation went very smoothly. The Investigation Bureau brought a lot of gifts, and Xinhuo responded with some special products, thus establishing a real trade relationship with the Investigation Bureau.
There are awakened weapons that the Investigation Bureau had purchased before, including swords, guns, etc., as well as newer weapons.
Special shield!
Shields are more difficult to make than weapons because of the special nature of evil spirits. Simply being hard and tough can hardly stop their sharp claws and biting attacks.
The weapons mass-produced by the research institute are qualified products, although their utilization rate of life energy is not as good as those produced by Xinhuo. However, the shields are different. They are defective at best.
If special investigators could be equipped with this kind of shield, in many cases, they would have an additional means of saving their lives.
This time, the Bureau ordered several types of weapons, one thousand each!
This number is already huge.
The number of awakened people is limited, and transactions with Xinhuo require more than just money... Huang Hongtian also knows that the production of awakening weapons requires a lot of materials.
Both mysterious items and strange crystals are needed.
This time, they were trading at a unit price of "one mysterious material", "one strange crystal" and a sufficient amount of Huang Yuan.
There is another major transaction that is no less important than the awakening weapon, and even more shocking.
"This small bottle of medicine can improve a person's physical fitness?"
" And there are no side effects." Pei Hongjing added, "Of course, the degree of improvement is related to the user's own physique. The effect of awakened people using it is definitely far less than that of ordinary people."
Even so , it is very exaggerated!
Since it was provided by Xinhuo, Huang Hongtian had no doubts and immediately ordered one thousand bottles.
Of course, we still need to conduct verification and collect detailed data when we return.
Just these things make the trip worthwhile.
Pei Hongjing also thinks so.
This price was the instructor's guidance price, which was similar to the original price. He was not aware that after having a forging workshop and a medical room, not only the production efficiency was greatly improved, but the production cost was further reduced.
For example, in the past, a standard weapon required "a mysterious material", "a strange crystal" and a certain amount of alloy.
Xinhuo mainly earns Huangyuan.
But in fact, this forging method did not have perfect material utilization. Until the forging workshop was built, an average of "seven mysterious materials" and "seven strange crystals" could produce ten weapons.
In addition to Huang Yuan, Xinhuo can also earn 30% of the materials, which is not very high. The black-hearted capitalists all earn 300%. However, the investigators are a group of respectable and admirable people fighting on the front line. Fang You does not want to set the goal too high.
That's enough.
There are plenty of ways to make money.
Pei Hongjing didn't know the ins and outs of this transaction, but through this transaction, Xinhuo also established some bulk commodity trade with the Investigation Bureau.
For the procurement of rare materials, minerals, and medicinal materials, with the cooperation of the Investigation Bureau, Huangguo gave the green light.
It's a win-win situation.
However, this is just a prelude. Director Huang still needs to have a face-to-face meeting with the tutor.
Pei Hongjing said, "Director Huang, please come this way. The instructor is waiting for you."
While Director Huang was walking towards the small attic, investigators including Zhou Hai and Bai Xue, led by An Jianyou, were visiting the Xinhuo training base.
From afar, the calls of youth can be heard.
The Investigation Bureau also has its own training bases, which are mainly located in state capitals and headquarters. All investigators present are former trainees and have gone through that period of training.
Thinking back on it now, I can’t help but feel nostalgic.
They are curious and looking forward to seeing how Xinhuo’s training method will be different from theirs.
…
"here it is……?"
The first place they came to was a little different from what they had imagined. It wasn't the students sweating in training, but... they were just sitting in rows on an open space.
It looks like a class.
Does Xinhuo also include cultural courses?
Also, the teacher in class seems to be a cat?
"This is our evil identification class, which aims to teach students how to face evil, adapt to the roar of evil in advance, and enhance students' resistance to the influence of reason, etc."
An Jianyou said, "Look, it's about to start."
Not far away,
Suddenly, something changed deep under the reality. An evil spirit seemed to smell something delicious and floated upwards. Suddenly, it seemed to jump out of the water, and the delicious taste became clearer.
The students could not see this scene.
The evil is invisible to ordinary people.
But at this moment, a soft "dong dong dong" sound suddenly rang in their ears, and the sound became louder and faster, and their hearts seemed to beat along with it.
Fear welled up in my heart.
Xu Tian, the assistant instructor, said, "Stay calm! Remember, the most important thing when facing evil is to stay calm. Next, open your eyes."
" Master Cat God, it's your turn."
"Meow~"
Hei Tong replied lazily and glared to the side.
In an instant, it was as if there were ripples on a water curtain, as if the covering cloth was torn open, and a hunchbacked, dark, and hideous monster appeared in front of everyone.
It is so clear that even every hair is visible.
It roared at them, but it seemed to be trapped in place, unable to move.
Assistant instructor Xu Tian took a ruler and walked closer, pointing at the evil spirit. "Evil spirits knock on the door boy. Their height is usually between 0.9 and 1.1 meters. From their different body shapes, we can judge the approximate strength of the evil spirit, the mystery it contains, and so on."
"In addition, you have already experienced that one of the hunting logics of the Knocker is that this 'dong dong dong' sound, which is like knocking on the door, can cause resonance in the heart."
"Tell me about the other characteristics of the door knocker..."
Xu Tian spoke one by one, there were at least several hundred words, and it was extremely detailed.
This door-knocking boy also has a detailed file in their investigation bureau. Because he is so common and ordinary, the bureau has collected a lot of information about him. However, compared with the content in the Xinhuo classroom, it is still too little and too rough.
Moreover, such classes where students face evil directly can indeed give students an extraordinary experience.
After facing the evil, the course should have ended here.
But it didn’t.
In a small building not far away, a Flame Awakener was fiddling with a faceless statue, throwing out mysterious baits, and fishing.
Xu Tian paused for a moment and said, "Next, let's welcome today's second model, the evil 'Shaking Head Corpse'."
…
"Next is today's third model, the evil 'One-eyed Bull'."
"Next is the fourth one..."
"Next is the fifth one..."
One after another, the evil creatures appeared. Even if they were frozen in time, they still spread their terrifying influence. In the investigation bureau team, all the clerks who were not awakened had pale faces.
Looking at the students of Xinhuo again, although they were also pale and shaky, they were all gritting their teeth and holding on, and no one fell down.
This resistance is at least at the level of their second-level investigators.
I am still just a student here at Xinhuo.
It’s really strict.
"This group of students has undergone many trainings on resistance to evil spirits, right?" Zhou Hai asked.
An Jianyou nodded. "This batch of students is not that new anymore. They have been training for quite some time, about... five days."
Investigators: “???”
