My Salvation Game Became true?!.

Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Awakeners of the Baijiang Sub-bureau
 

The next day,

He opened his eyes to an unfamiliar ceiling.

Fang You was stunned for a moment before he realized he was already at the Flames’ base.

The bedroom was very spacious.

He had also slept soundly last night; at least he didn’t have to worry about safety within the base, unlike outside… Thinking of the invisible Mysterious Evil he had encountered yesterday made Fang You frown.

If this had been at home, he wouldn’t have been able to sleep peacefully.

Presumably, An Jianyou and Black Blade would have slept peacefully here as well.

Fang You picked up his phone and opened the list of items.

「Newbie Weapon (White): 10」

「Physical Fitness Elixir (White): 12」

「Skill Training Card (White): 32」

「Skill Training Card (Green): 6」

Source: Webnovel.com, updated on ɴ0νǤο.сο

「Double Earnings Card (White): 1」

「Seed of Skills (Blue): 2」

「Mystic Crystals: 12」

「Fate Points: 58.7」

Among them, the Double Earnings Card couldn’t be used in the previous special task and had been kept until now.

For three-star tasks, he wasn’t sure if they could be used; after all, it was only a white-level earnings card and couldn’t be demanded, so he would have to try it when he got a three-star task.

If not, he would use it on a two-star task.

Fang You opened the mission module.

Compared to the screenshot he took yesterday, several new missions had been added today, one of which was a two-star mission. He looked at it and the location was quite remote, but it was doable.

He would let Black Blade handle it later.

Yes, starting today, there was no need for dispatching; the base’s entrance had been opened, and special Apostles like Black Blade could step out of the base, a fact confirmed yesterday.

Thus, Black Blade wouldn’t be restricted to a one-hour dispatch time anymore.

Work efficiency could at least double.

Regaining the position of Flames’ first worker, the efficiency of earning Mystic Crystals would surge, and the fourth and fifth Apostles of Fate were just around the corner.

Of course, the immediate priority was to select Junior Apostles.

Fang You was ready to leave.

Before heading out, he glanced over his own panel.

「Savior of Destiny (Awakened Tier 2)」

「Physique: 11.4」

「Spirit: 6.7→6.8」

「Mystery: 0.33」

「Life Energy: 9.1+5」

「Equipment: Newbie Wooden Sword, Lantern White Robe, Sealed Treasure Chest」

「Skills: Basic Swordsmanship (Mastery: 37.8%), Mysterious Evil Tracking (Mastery: 5.6%), Palm Thunder (Expert: 5.1%), Detection (Proficient: 0.6%), Ghost Control (Proficient Level·Temporary), Blade Slash (Novice: 7.2%), Ghost Control (Novice: 7.3%)」

「Ability: Flamefire Belief」

「Special: Black Pupil」

Mysterious Evil Tracking had been upgraded to mastery level last night.

It cost him 3 skill training cards, leaving only 32.

32 cards seemed like a lot, but if you look at the progression ‘proficient to mastery’ requiring 3 cards, ‘mastery to expert’ 9 cards, then to move up from expert level to the next tier, at least 27 white training cards were needed.

Plus one needed card for breaking through the bottleneck, possibly green-level, possibly blue-level.

Too expensive, it wasn’t possible for him to spend it on that.

He couldn’t waste these skill training cards; some had to be saved for training rookies— even if used on himself and Black Blade, only upgrading to expert level at most.

Higher than that, no.

He should work hard and practice diligently; one has to be harsh on oneself. By being harsh, he could save many training cards.

But now he needed to leave; he would train more when he came back.

Fang You opened the map navigation and charted a course for himself.

Today’s mission was to filter targets, and to not neglect the removal of Mysterious Evil. Little by little adds up, so the wallet wouldn’t be empty.

…

Outside Baijiang City, Jiangming Temple.

Clad in loose clothing, Monk Ming Deng had just burst another sandbag.

The young novice, Jianxing, muttered, “Master is too wasteful. Why take it out on the sandbags?”

He glanced at his own skinny arms and legs and then at his master’s muscles, and had to admit that Master’s arms were thicker than his own waist.

But, what could he do about it? It wasn’t as good as a string of Buddha Beads anyway.

Sigh, the novice went off to chant sutras on his own, but his Buddhist practice was far from as profound as his master’s, and he earned less money too. Ah, Master, you’re wasting your Buddhist practice.

However, Ming Deng was resolute, as stubborn as an ox.

Chanting sutras wouldn’t save the world. After the battle at Nanjiao, Ming Deng was even more convinced of this.

First, the Investigation Agency had already developed Fire Pearls and Thunder Talismans, and the scripture Buddha Beads had a substitute.

The significance of him chanting more or less was no longer as critical.

Second, whether it be Fire Pearls, Thunder Talismans, or scripture Buddha Beads, they only worked against weaker Mysterious Evils. Strong Mysterious Evil had to be dealt with by powerful Awakeners.

The expert in black who slashed the Mysterious Evils with his blade made Ming Deng’s blood boil with excitement.

The angry heavens thundered brilliantly, showing him the light, showing him hope! He wasn’t wrong on this path, only by Awakening could there be hope to save the world.

Yet, this was just his wishful thinking. The Investigation Agency still didn’t want someone of his noble talents to enter the battlefield.

Ming Deng enjoyed high welfare benefits at the Investigation Agency, but he was ultimately not one of their own, without the authority of an investigator to justify his actions and persuade Director Zhou, reciting Buddhist scriptures on the battlefield in Nanjiao was the limit.

As for removing Mysterious Evil?

As a free man, a Mage capable of convincing others with reason, the Investigation Agency couldn’t truly stop him, and Ming Deng had considered removing Mysterious Evil on his own.

He had Buddha Beads and Flamefire; he could handle most Common Mystic Evils.

However,

Without the clues provided by the Investigation Agency, he wouldn’t be able to find or even see Mysterious Evil!

Ming Deng had no confusion about the road ahead, firmly pursuing the transformation and subjugation of Mysterious Evil through the power of Awakening.

But, how could he remove Mysterious Evil, embrace the mystic, and touch Awakening?

Ming Deng pummeled the sandbag, deep in thought.

…

“Twelve investigators reached towards Awakening, but only four succeeded.”

In the office, Director Zhou sighed.

An Awakening rate of one-third might not seem low, but the consequence of failure was death; at best, death, and at worst, transformation into a Mysterious Evil.

The loss of one elite investigator after another weighed heavily on everyone.

Naturally, not all of these twelve investigators were from the Baijiang branch; most weren’t, and in all of Baijiang including Director Zhou, there were just a total of fifteen official investigators.

This time, two touched Awakening, and one succeeded.

“Old Wei has Awakened. Why haven’t I?”

Jiang Tingqiu was going mad.

The process of Awakening is dangerous? He believed he could handle the difficulty of Awakening with no problem. The issue was that he just couldn’t Awaken!

That was unreasonable!

Even if the chances of touching Awakening were low, among those who took part in the Nanjiao battle were also first-level investigators. His own excellence hadn’t led to Awakening, making Jiang Tingqiu feel miserable.

These past days he had been going to bed early and waking up early to stay alert, but still, nothing happened.

Not being an Awakener, how could he approach Black Blade for advice?

In a fit of anger, Jiang Tingqiu grabbed a handful of Director Zhou’s treasured tea leaves, steeped them, and guzzled the tea down gulp by gulp.

So hot!

Director Zhou’s face turned green, greener still, cold sweat breaking out.

These symptoms seemed to be…

“Director Zhou…”

“Damn, Director Zhou is touching Awakening!!”
