“Congratulations on eliminating the Progenitor Anomalous Beast THE ONE. Evaluating now…”
“Reward: EXP x1200, Gold x1500, Random Item from Dungeon World x1”
“You have changed Matsunaga Yoichiro’s view on Apt Users. Evaluation improved.”
“You left behind an Apt User sanctuary, providing a resting place for future Apt Users. Evaluation improved.”
“You allowed Next to evolve into Nexus ahead of schedule and left a ray of light. Evaluation improved.”
“You saved Maki Tsugumu, who originally didn’t have long to live. Evaluation improved.”
“Your rating is S-rank.”
“Due to your S-rank evaluation, you received an additional reward: Cell Fragments of the Progenitor Anomalous Beast THE ONE.”
“Hiss~, the infinitely evolving Progenitor Anomalous Beast cells are good, but how do I control them? Am I supposed to become Zaki?”
Fang Xinhan felt this item was somewhat useless; if he took it out, the world would suffer. After thinking, he decided to put the cell away for now, mainly because the uncontrollable factors were too strong.
The random item from the Dungeon World was a machine. This machine could be used to create Visitors’ technology, such as the River of Oblivion, memory erasure devices, and so on.
This thing was of no use to Fang Xinhan; he had Alchemy and could directly create things based on Visitors' theories. However, this item could be given to the Management Bureau, and he believed they would surely like it.
Fang Xinhan immediately lay down on his bed and went to sleep; he still had homework to review tomorrow.
Early the Next morning, Fang Xinhan picked up a book to read and also drew a daily prize.
(Note: Daily draws can only be performed in the prime universe.)
This time, he drew Nether Wart, which was quite good since it would be indispensable for making potions later. Fang Xinhan immediately threw it into the conversion table and continued studying.
However, on a small island far from Tianlan City, several people in black robes arrived by boat.
There were 4 people in total. The leader was a male, nearly two meters tall, and even through his black robe, his sturdy physique was visible.
The four arrived under a large tree. The leading man seemed to draw a pattern on the tree, and then a downward staircase entrance appeared behind the tree. The four lined up and entered the staircase entrance one by one.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the four stopped in front of a technologically advanced door. Then they took off their black robes. The leading strong man placed his hand on the door, and after a moment, the door opened.
Behind the door was a huge secret base, where people were busy conducting experiments. After entering the door, the figures of the four gradually appeared under the lights.
The leading strong man was nearly two meters tall, with muscles that looked even larger than those of gym bodybuilders. There was also a terrifying Scar on his face, making him look very unapproachable.
Following him were one female and two males. The female had brightly colored hair, a mix of blue and pink. She wore exaggerated clothing: a crop top, hot pants, paired with colorful stockings and unique boots. Her face had exaggerated makeup, with large red lips and distinctive eye makeup.
If Fang Xinhan were here, he would definitely exclaim: “Holy crap! Harley Quinn!”
There was also a tall, thin male who looked like a high addict, with a haggard face and empty, lifeless eyes. He muttered to himself, speaking incoherently, sometimes Dian Jue, sometimes calm.
Finally, there was a seemingly more normal person wearing square-rimmed glasses, though the look in his eyes behind the glasses was cunning and shrewd. Currently, he appeared low-key, but one should not underestimate him, or be prepared for a stab in the back.
The four walked past, observing the experimental subjects, all of whom were humans injected with H54.
Due to their different physiques, the abilities they exhibited after being injected with H54 also varied.
For example, some could release flames, but the size of the flames could not be controlled. Some could enlarge a certain part of their body, but a corresponding part would shrink.
In short, these experimental subjects were all defective products.
The four passed these experimental subjects and arrived at the elevator entrance. The leading strong man pressed a floor button and waited for the elevator to arrive.
“Scar, when does our Next mission start? I can’t wait.”
The Dian Jue, who looked like an addict, asked the leading strong man.
Scar was the leading strong man’s codename.
“Dian Jue, can you be quiet for a bit? All day long, besides sleeping, I haven’t seen you stop. No, you even sleepwalk at night!”
Dian Jue was the codename of this Dian Jue person.
“Shadow, do you know any fun places? I’m so bored lately.”
Shadow was the codename of the man wearing square-rimmed glasses.
“I heard there’s a casino somewhere. Do you want to try it, Harley?”
Harley was the codename of the only female in this team.
As the group chatted, the elevator arrived. They entered the elevator and continued talking, finally reaching a heavily guarded floor.
The four walked up to a man sitting in an office chair, delicately sipping a glass of red wine.
“Boss, the escaped experimental subject has been found.”
Scar stood in front of everyone and reported to the man.
“You know what to do, don’t you? Capture him or eliminate him directly.”
The man shook the glass in his hand, took a sip, and said.
“Then I’ll set off.”
With that, Scar was about to lead the others to leave.
But the man called out to Scar and slowly said, “What level are you?”
“Level 10.”
“Then that item can be given to you.”
The man clapped his hands, and men in black suits and sunglasses came over, carrying white briefcases. The suited man placed a briefcase flat on the table and opened it.
Inside was a dagger, but its design was quite peculiar. The hilt seemed to be wrapped in unknown tentacles, the tsuba in the middle was replaced by an eye, and the red blade emitted an eerie glow.
“Name: Bloodthirsty Dagger”
“Type: Weapon”
“Quality: Excellent”
“Special Effect 1: Upon hitting the opponent, causes a bleeding effect, deducting 10 HP per second for 80s.”
“Special Effect 2: Dripping blood on the Bloodthirsty Eye can temporarily increase the user’s various attributes by 2 points, lasting 120s.”
“Side Effect: User enters a weakened state after the effect ends.”
“Equipment Requirement: Player level greater than or equal to Lv9”
(Remark: Battle, awesome!)
“Our Salvation Society will not mistreat its employees.”
As he spoke, all four of their phones rang, receiving a transfer of 200,000.
“Thank you, boss.”
“Alright, if there’s nothing else, get to work.”
The man put down his wine glass and turned away. The four then retreated, and the man revealed a meaningful smile.
“This world is about to stir up a storm.”
“I’m going to be drowned in an ocean of knowledge.”
Fang Xinhan spent a day finally recovering most of his knowledge points. Now, he felt his brain was swollen. And he didn’t know when he had acquired a negative effect of fatigue.
“No, the college entrance exam is in nearly 40 days, I can’t falter.”
Fang Xinhan drank a whole carton of milk to dispel the fatigue effect and continued studying.
(P.S.: The setting for the Salvation Society hasn’t been finalized yet. Any suggestions in the comment section?)
