【Ding! Congratulations on completing the solo The Way of the Extraordinary mission - Horror Cruise, difficulty level S. Calculating rewards...】
【Rewards being calculated... Obtained items: Unyielding Will, Thunder Armguard, Mumbles of the Smoker】
【Reward experience points: 35%】
【Calculation complete! Exiting The Way of the Extraordinary in 30 seconds】
A countdown interface appeared, ticking down quickly.
Zhang Yuanqing felt a powerful and evil spiritual force descend from the darkness, pouring into his body and converging towards his heart, eventually being absorbed by the pitch-black heart in his chest.
"The experience points from completing the dungeon aren't for me..."
Zhang Yuanqing not only wasn't disappointed but felt relieved.
This was what he expected. The experience points (spiritual power) from the dungeon rewards had always been poured into the character card. Its final destination could only be the heart in his chest, unrelated to him personally.
As a Night Wanderer, what would be the consequences of being infused with the spiritual power of other professions, especially evil ones?
The idiot Pure Yang Cult Leader was an example.
Zhang Yuanqing opened his inventory and checked the three items he received as dungeon rewards.
Unyielding Will was a dark purple pill, shaped like a quail egg, looking like it was kneaded from filthy things.
Zhang Yuanqing held the quail egg, waited two or three seconds, and the item information appeared:
【Name: Unyielding Will】
【Type: Consumable】
【Function: Buff】
【Note 1: It seems useless to Aberrants.】
【Note 2: Because it is a consumable, there is no cost.】
Zhang Yuanqing's eyes suddenly lit up. The content of the note, conversely, was: If you are not an Aberrant, then it will be a top-grade elixir.
The "Unyielding Will" pill would be a nightmare for Aberrants, immune to the skills of Aberrants at the Saint stage, and 50% immune to the Dominator stage. This meant that Zhang Yuanqing could now kill Aberrants like slaughtering dogs.
When he was promoted to Dominator, he could kill Dominator-level Aberrants like slaughtering dogs.
Putting the "Unyielding Will" pill back into the inventory, he continued to check the "Thunder Armguard" and "Mumbles of the Smoker."
【Name: Thunder Armguard】
【Type: Weapon】
【Function: Manipulate Lightning】
【Introduction: It is a prop forged from the core of lightning by a certain indescribable being, possessing considerable defense and attack power. Prop skills: Electromagnetic Protection, Thunder Blast.】
【Note 1: It is one of the Thunder God Armor pieces. The remaining four pieces are: Armor, Boots, Helmet, Spear. Collect all five pieces to obtain the power of the Thunder God.】
【Note 2: The more electricity injected, the greater the power of the Thunder Blast】
【Note 3: Please use Thunder Blast with caution if you don't want to become charcoal.】
The Thunder Armguard was a bright blue armguard with dazzling lightning collapsing inside, emitting scorching heat.
One of the set pieces, and a top-grade item at the Saint stage as a single piece!
Zhang Yuanqing swallowed, and a strong surge of joy welled up in his heart. Even though his nickname was Prop God, possessing countless top-grade items envied by The Way of the Extraordinary.
After reading the attributes of the "Thunder Armguard," he still felt the excitement of finding a treasure.
In The Way of the Extraordinary, the rarity of sets is higher than rule-based items. Each set is a mysterious and unpredictable power.
"The power of the Thunder God? A title related to gods. If I collect the set, will I control demigod-level power?"
He would choose the Thunder Mage for the November dungeon. In addition, this was an Aberrant dungeon, but the reward was the "Thunder Armguard," which could only come from the Holy See's The Way of the Extraordinary.
The Thunder Armguard was probably the prop of the Cardinal before he died. Then, might there be other parts in the Holy See's treasure vault?
Zhang Yuanqing had a beautiful fantasy.
Time was limited. He quickly checked the third item, which was an egg the size of a fist, covered in pores and entangled with blood vessels. Its appearance was exactly the same as the Demon Seed in the hold, a miniature version of the Demon Seed.
【Name: Mumbles of the Smoker】
【Type: Consumable】
【Function: Pollution】
【Introduction: It can emit terrible whispers, polluting all living things within fifty meters, causing them to become mentally deranged, reduce their intelligence, and produce aberration.】
【Note: Remember, it is all living things.】
The introduction and notes were short, but Zhang Yuanqing felt a chill down his spine, especially since the "note" repeated the "all living things" in the introduction.
This meant that Mumbles of the Smoker was a rule-based consumable!
"The level of the Demon Seed is definitely strange, it doesn't match the Saint stage..."
Zhang Yuanqing muttered to himself.
At this time, there were five seconds left before returning to The Way of the Extraordinary. He calmly grabbed Little Red Riding Hood, took away the three Yin corpses, and nodded to the Cardinal: "Goodbye!"
The next second, the scenery in the hold began to distort and blur, like the surface of rippling water.
In an uninhabited empty house in Kings County, Zhang Yuanqing escaped the dungeon in the darkness and returned to reality.
He looked around and didn't see the Yata Mirror and the doppelganger. His expression changed, and he rushed to the cabinet, opened the door, and found that the Heart-Shattering Blade, the Chaotic Painting, and several Dominator-quality materials inside were all gone.
Zhang Yuanqing's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he only felt his blood pressure rising.
Gone?
My treasures are gone?
Who took my Dominator props and materials?
It was impossible for him to be followed. As a Night Wanderer and Illusionist, the two most cautious professions in the Second District, no one in the world could follow him.
Even a demigod-level Void like the president could only locate him through the mark.
I clearly had the doppelganger guarding the props and materials. Both the doppelganger and the Yata Mirror are gone, and there was no battle here...
Zhang Yuanqing observed the room and gradually regained his composure.
He roughly guessed what was going on and picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground when he entered The Way of the Extraordinary.
After being on standby for five days, the phone still had 15% battery.
Zhang Yuanqing opened the chat log and saw that Guan Ya had sent him a message: "The situation in New York County has become increasingly tense in the past few days, and he had to participate. If those things are left unattended, they might be picked up by Void profession, so he put them with me."
Seeing this, Zhang Yuanqing was relieved.
The conflict between the two camps of Order and Evil in New York County was becoming increasingly fierce, and the doppelganger had to accept the Hunter Guild's mission. Since he didn't have an inventory and couldn't store items, he could only hand them over to Guan Ya for safekeeping.
Zhang Yuanqing sent a message to Guan Ya: "I'm back! How's the situation in New York County?"
About ten minutes later, Guan Ya sent over two forms, one was the casualty list of the Order organizations in New York County, and the other was the kill list of Evil professions.
In five days, a total of 180 The Way of the Extraordinary from the Order and Evil camps were killed in battle, and 240 were injured, including 46 Saints and 3 level six Saints.
Ju Mang successively killed the demon beasts Haas, Hecate, and Bacchus, directly pushing the camp confrontation to a fever pitch.
The Evil camp couldn't swallow this breath and launched a frantic counterattack. The Order camp tried to take advantage of the victory and completely crush the Evil camp's fighting spirit. Both sides launched intelligence warfare, encounters, assassinations, and so on.
In just five days, the battles that broke out in various parts of New York County caused considerable social unrest and international attention.
The New York County government attributed all of this to "terrorist attacks by foreign armed forces."
Currently, the Heavenly Punishment, the Merchant Guild, and the Sea God Church are all drawing elites from various branches to support New York County. The Evil camp is also drawing elites to sneak into New York County.
This international metropolis has become the main battlefield for the two camps.
"The Dominators haven't intervened yet. These old guys are more afraid of death than anyone else!" Zhang Yuanqing muttered.
Reaching the Dominator stage means being powerful enough and cautious enough, rarely appearing in public and engaging in physical confrontations.
To drag a Dominator into the fray, there must be a trigger.
Zhang Yuanqing turned into a starlight and disappeared into the uninhabited empty house.
Half an hour later, at the headquarters of the New York County Bank Building.
In Guan Ya's bedroom, starlight rose, and Zhang Yuanqing stepped out of the starlight, seeing his mixed-race girlfriend wearing a purple suspender nightdress, holding a scorpion doll, staring at the computer.
The screen was playing a well-known TV series from the Free Federation, with the theme of love between vampires and werewolves.
"You're back?" Guan Ya got up happily and hooked his neck.
Zhang Yuanqing lowered his head and held her warm lips. After a long time, the two separated. Zhang Yuanqing glanced at the computer screen.
"Are you bored?"
"I told Wei Ne that you went into the dungeon. The Five Elements Alliance team is on standby. She also thinks this is a good idea, so we can avoid being schemed against by the Evil camp, which can easily lead to total annihilation," Guan Ya explained.
She took out the Yata Mirror, the Heart-Shattering Blade, and other props and materials. "This broken knife of yours must drink blood and devour spirits every day. I've almost killed all the stray dogs nearby."
"Did you feed it today?"
"Yeah!"
Zhang Yuanqing was relieved and put it away.
Guan Ya brewed a pot of coffee, pulled him to sit on the sofa by the window, sipping coffee, and listening to her boyfriend talk about his role as a scout in the dungeon, listening with frequent frowns.
"You also think the Demon Seed is strange,"
Zhang Yuanqing said, "Tomorrow, I'll ask Wei Ne to help me check if a ship called the Sea Swallow really disappeared from the Irish United Nations in 1900."
The headquarters of the various official organizations in the Second District are all in the Free Federation, but European countries have their branches. If Wei Ne is willing to help, it's just a matter of an email.
As for the Heavenly Punishment database, Heavenly Punishment wasn't established in 1900.
Guan Ya gave her own suggestion: "This will attract Wei Ne's attention. I don't think it's necessary to go through the The Way of the Extraordinary forces. Contacting the Irish United Nations Naval Headquarters directly is more discreet and secure. The Fu family has channels for this. Leave it to me."
The current Irish United Nations is different from before. As long as you can afford it, even the most confidential documents can be accessed.
Zhang Yuanqing thought for a moment, "Let's do that."
Guan Ya nodded. "Let me tell you about recent events."
"Let's talk about it in bed."
Zhang Yuanqing picked up his girlfriend with a chuckle and walked towards the big bed.
The next day, Zhang Yuanqing, who had just returned to reality, was summoned to the office by his Minister, Wei Ne.
The cold and glamorous Minister with her wavy chestnut hair draped over her shoulders, a smile on the corner of her mouth: "What level of dungeon was it?"
"A level!"
Wei Ne nodded. "Are you considering entering the slaughter dungeon at the end of the year?"
"I can't wait to enter December." Zhang Yuanqing was telling the truth.
Wei Ne leaned back in her chair, her posture lazy and casual, and smiled: "Each slaughter dungeon only has three Dominator spots. Yuanshi Tianzun has returned to The Way of the Extraordinary, but the number of peak Saints in the Second District is still quite large. What are your chances?"
Without waiting for Zhang Yuanqing to answer, she added; "Not to mention those famous Saints, a level six Dream Weaver has recently appeared in New Moon County. I think he will be your strong opponent. If you can eliminate him before the slaughter dungeon opens, your chances of being promoted to Dominator will be greater."
Zhang Yuanqing tentatively asked: "A level six Dream Weaver?"
Wei Ne said in a deep voice: "His The Way of the Extraordinary ID is Tongtian Jiaozhu. You should be familiar with him. He was the one who participated in the hunt for you the other day."
"In the few days you were in The Way of the Extraordinary, he has been very active, killing two Saints from the Sea God Church, two Saints from the Heavenly Punishment, one Saint from the Merchant Guild, and one Saint from the American God Association."
Five days to kill six Saints? The doppelganger did a good job! Zhang Yuanqing secretly praised.
In this way, he will become an influential Saint in the Hunter Guild and be highly valued.
"If I have the opportunity, I will send him back to The Way of the Extraordinary." Zhang Yuanqing looked very confident.
Wei Ne was very satisfied with his attitude and then said: "Yesterday, we received news that the Dark Night Rose, the Soldier Lord Cult, and the Void Sect (Southern School) in your Second District will send Saints to support the Evil camp in New York County."
"Headquarters attaches great importance to this matter and ordered us to block the Saints from the three major forces."
