Chapter 87: Chapter 87: Daily Income Hits Triple Digits!
The rewards couldn’t be described as rich, they were extremely rich!
However, “the official first kill of a three-star Mysterious Evil”? So, the Flesh Giant that I killed before doesn’t count!
I had forgotten about the first kill thing.
“The benefits from the two-star and three-star tasks are indeed substantial.”
“Yes, two-star tasks are most suitable, not too hard to fight and the earnings are quite good… One-star Mysterious Evils are actually not bad if there are enough of them, but they don’t cluster together, and too much time is spent on the road.”
“As for three-star Mysterious Evils…”
Recalling Black Blade’s fighting process, I definitely couldn’t dodge unscathed like Black Blade did.
If I tried his approach, I would probably… think I could dodge, but actually, I would be done for.
But my style of fighting is different from Black Blade’s. When I put myself in the environment Black Blade had faced, and simulated the fight for a while, I found that…
It seems that, possibly, maybe, probably… a three-star Mysterious Evil is just like that?
“I must be getting ahead of myself.”
“But it seems like I really can fight it.”

“Besides, I’m a Double Awakener now, and I have the Hand of Heaven’s Net at my disposal. It’s worth a try.”
Let’s give it a try!
That very night, Fang You headed out of the city towards a three-star Mysterious Evil.
The target was located on a desolate mountain road, with warning signs already set up at both ends of the road. Fang You crossed the warning signs and entered.
He paused.
I assigned myself a task and tried to use a double earnings card.
‘Ding!’
But as expected, it failed.
A white earnings card wasn’t enough to boost a three-star task.
This was expected.
Following the mountain road, Fang You headed north, and soon he heard a series of low roars, like thunder, and the environment in front of him twisted slightly, as if a devil was showing its fangs and claws, involuntarily making him feel irritable and destructive.
But he quickly suppressed these feelings.
Three-star Mysterious Evils were indeed tough, and even though he was a Double Awakener, he couldn’t completely resist the invisible influence they exuded.
In his field of vision appeared a huge figure like a giant lizard, climbing on the side of the mountain.
It was over ten meters long, with teeth like swords, and its head had eight pairs of eyes; even without using Mysterious Evil tracking, he could more or less see the form of this giant Mysterious Evil.
Once he activated Mysterious Evil tracking, a dense grey fog surrounded the creature, swirling with its every breath.
Fang You didn’t hide his presence.
And he turned off the Lightless state.
In his white robe, with his accumulated aura of mystery, he was the brightest light under the night sky in the eyes of the giant lizard.
With limbs as sturdy as columns of rock, the creature began to accelerate, getting faster and faster.
Fang You couldn’t dare let it gain momentum; if he did, he definitely wouldn’t be able to contain it.
He stretched out his hand.
A faint outline of a giant palm appeared and quickly filled with thunder light.
As he pressed his hand down, the Thunder Light Big Handprint, now filled with thunder light, also thundered down.
Sizzle! Sizzle!
Boom—!
The Thunder Light Big Handprint, carrying a terrifying destructive power and massive force, still couldn’t stop the giant lizard’s charge but visibly slowed it down.
It kept charging and ramming blindly.
With its gaping mouth and wildly grasping limbs, its serrated tail continuously slapped the ground, kicking up clouds of dust and debris.
The Thunder Light Big Handprint flickered uncertainly, and Fang You’s brows knit together.
The handprint was large, but it appeared particularly small compared to the giant lizard. Wrestling with a three-star Mysterious Evil like this, he was sure to have no good outcome.
Of course, he was clear on this and had devised his tactics before coming.
His right hand pressed down, while he raised his left hand at the same time.
In the palm of his hand, thunder light surged.
The restrained giant lizard’s eyes widened as blue light in its pupils grew brighter, and a thick thunderbolt struck directly at its head, right on those eight pairs of eyes!
Then came the second, the third, the fourth!
In a remote, uninhabited mountain road, peals of thunder and lightning roared, and if there were anyone nearby, they would see the splendid blue light shining up the mountain, illuminating the entire mountainside.
Thunderbolt Quintuple Blast!
After a short while, when the mission completion prompt sounded in his mind, Fang You finally lowered his palm.
He let out a breath.
“This three-star Mysterious Evil, truly is terrifying.”
…
‘Ding!’
‘Notice: Completion of a three-star dispatch mission, obtained “Fate Points ×14.5”, “Skill Training Card (White) ×12”, “Skill Training Card (Green) ×1”, “Random Small Treasure Box (White) ×1”.’
North River City,
In a small motel that didn’t require ID, Fang You opened the World Savior game, tallying up his gains for the day.
Gradually, a smile appeared on his face.
“Indeed, only by opening new maps can you develop rapidly.”
“Although it’s also related to strength, if Black Blade and I were only at the first Awakening and didn’t have this equipment, then we would have struggled against just a two-star Mysterious Evil, and the efficiency would definitely not be as high as it is now.”
“But now, well…”
He mused.
Once the major Mysterious Evils inside the city were mostly dealt with, instead of wasting time fighting the smaller ones, it’s better to just go and clear the large number of Mysterious Evils in the wild, outside the city.
Once these Mysterious Evils are pushed back, I estimate I’ll have collected enough Mysterious Crystals to continue to expand the map.
This way, daily profits will be even higher.
As for the minor Mysterious Evils within the urban area? The Investigative Bureau has full capability to deal with them; I will leave the clean-up to them.
The only downside is that I won’t get any Fate Points from this part, Fang You felt he had lost a billion.
But what can you do when you’re short-handed!
“Maybe, the way to cooperate with the Investigative Bureau could involve a change of roles.”
“For instance, mark more Mysterious Evil locations and let the Investigative Bureau handle them. This way, I can turn this information into benefits for the Torch of Hope, while also enabling the Investigative Bureau to more promptly deal with the minor Mysterious Evils in the urban area, which also helps with the safety and stability of the city.”
It’s a win-win.
This idea seemed feasible, so Fang You decided to think it over more carefully when he got back.
He opened the panel to review his loot.
‘Skill Training Card (White): 66’
‘Skill Training Card (Green): 7’
‘Mysterious Crystal: 97’
‘Fate Points: 116.9’
I’ve earned over sixty Mysterious Crystals, and the Fate Points are even more exaggerated; they were all used up before, but today, in just one day, they skyrocketed to triple digits!
Dozens of one-star, fairly strong Mysterious Evils.
More than ten two-star Mysterious Evils.
Two three-star Mysterious Evils.
The profits are this high!
Single-day earnings broke into three digits!
“Although such high profits are due to opening new maps and the first kills, the numbers will definitely drop later, but this is just the urban area… When I start clearing the outside forests and mountains, the daily earnings will probably be even higher.”
“The Fate Points needed for the sixth Fate Draw is 243. It seemed difficult to save up before, but now… it seems like it’s only a matter of days?”
“Easy!”
I remember the last three-star mission also included a random small treasure box; since it was only white grade, Fang You didn’t pay much attention to it.
He went into the item overview to check.
‘Random Small Treasure Box (White)’
‘Description: An ordinary treasure box that can reveal white-grade items, and has an extremely low probability of producing green-grade items.’
Without washing his hands, he casually opened it.
‘Ding!’
‘Notice: Obtained “Physical Fitness Elixir (White)”.’
‘Notice: Obtained “Junior Apostle Recruitment Voucher (Green)”.’
Fang You: “???”
Could it be that not washing hands is the correct approach?!
