My Salvation Game Became true?!

Chapter 49: Chapter 49: An Jianyou, A 996 Worker

“Of course, working with the Investigation Bureau has its advantages but also risks,”

Fang You contemplated.

This time, for the Ghastly Realm Gate mission, they had to go all out with the entire team, including him as their instructor.

However, he still saw himself as tactical support, trying to avoid combat whenever possible.

He was the commander, after all. Since when does a commander charge to the frontline?

“Going into battle carries the risk of exposing one’s identity. Of course, Black Blade isn’t afraid of exposure; he can leave as soon as he completes his dispatch. And An Jianyou… this girl is already in the open.”

Fang You appointed An Jianyou as a diplomatic envoy for the team.

After all, Black Blade is emotionless and inconvenient to appear in person, so wasn’t Miss An the suitable choice?

An Jianyou wasn’t afraid of exposure; now the pressure was on him.

Fang You definitely didn’t want to expose himself, but this battle might unavoidably require his direct intervention.

He prepared two contingency plans.

“If possible, I’ll fight by providing long-range support.”

“If I really have to show up, then…”

I’ll just give myself the title of a regular combatant from the team.

As an instructor for the team, it was very reasonable to have a few cover identities, right?

But Fang You still hoped for the former option; it was safer after all. Ideally, he wouldn’t even need to show up, and the disaster would be contained by just Black Blade and An Jianyou, along with a bunch of extras from the Investigation Bureau.

All he would need to do is swipe through his phone and provide some strategic and tactical support.

Fang You opened his character panel. He had already listed his attributes before, and his immediate goal was to focus on improving Palm Thunder, hoping to train it to the next level before the great battle.

The next proficiency level—could that give Palm Thunder the ability for long-range attacks?

“To break through with Palm Thunder, mere hard training definitely won’t suffice; it still requires diligence and effort.”

He then opened the item section.

These past days, Black Blade had killed two two-star Mysterious Evils. On one mission, he even used a double reward card, amassing a total of eleven ‘Skill Training Cards (White)’.

He had saved up nine cards before, but over the past two days, Fang You had used seven skill training cards and given six to Black Blade, leaving not so many now—just seven.

He opened Black Blade’s character panel.

‘Black Blade (One Awakening)’

‘Physique: 7.3→7.4’

‘Spirit: 2.1’

‘Mystery: 2.72’

‘Life Energy: 5.28’

‘Skills: Basic Sword Technique (Proficiency: 27.6%), Blade Slash (Proficiency: 67.8%), Mysterious Evil Tracking (Proficiency: 30.5%)’

‘Equipment: Beginner’s Sword’

‘Ability: Icy Killing Intent’

“Black Blade’s Blade Slash is at expert level 67.8%, and my Palm Thunder is at expert level 47.4%. Only one of us can advance to the next level of proficiency.”

The shortage of skill training cards was a minor issue; the main thing was, when the expert proficiency cap was reached, white training cards couldn’t be used to improve further—it would require at least green ones.

Green training cards were for breaking through bottlenecks, and he only had one of them.

However…

The past few days of completing two two-star and a total of over ten one-star missions had also brought in a decent haul of fate points and ghastly crystals.

‘Fate Points: 26.3’

‘Ghastly Crystals: 16’

If not for his and An Jianyou’s guidance for the Awakening, the fate points from the fourth extraction would have been enough; now they were not far off, just a matter of dealing with two or three minor Mysterious Evils.

“Let An Jianyou earn the money.”

“She’s already registered with the Investigation Bureau, she doesn’t need to hide her tracks, so she can take on missions day and night. Some of the areas sealed off by the Investigation Bureau are accessible to her, and removing the Mysterious Evils becomes much more efficient.”

Perfect!

An Jianyou worked hard, and his fourth card draw with Fang You was just around the corner.

Well, I could also enhance my sister’s abilities. If her “Ghost Control” reaches the proficient level, she might be able to control more Mysterious Evils. Just do it… No, better wait until An Jianyou is off work and resting before giving her a set of training.

Now is the time to be on duty at work, so there should be no delay.

He moved his finger away from the “training” option and placed it on the “mission” button, lightly pressing it.

…

At this moment, in the investigation bureau, inside a small conference room.

“Forty-four hours, do you think this intelligence is reliable?”

Jiang Tingqiu spread his hands, “Old Zhou, I am just responsible for passing the message, isn’t it your job to judge its reliability?”

Zhou Bureau pondered.

If there were still forty-four… forty-three hours, then the situation would relatively be in their favor, as they would have some time to prepare.

But how accurate could it be?

Thinking of this organization named Eternal Flame, with its precise ability to strike at Mysterious Evils, Zhou Bureau was inclined to believe it, but such a significant matter couldn’t just rely on his belief.

“Whether the news is reliable or not, we have to do our utmost to prepare for battle.”

“As long as the Gate of Hell is not open, we must continue to strengthen our existing powers! We must hold back the disaster!”

In the conference room, many people had solemn expressions.

Not long ago, they had received some information that the Sakura Country had also encountered a Gate of Hell. Unlike in Poluo Country, the Gate of Hell in Sakura Country was discovered before it opened, similar to their current situation.

For this, Sakura Country had gathered a vast number of personnel, using items offered in their shrines, but still, they suffered a great defeat.

Mysterious Evils kept pouring out, and living creatures were plunged into misery.

It wasn’t just Poluo Country and Sakura Country; incidents of the Gate of Hell appearing were becoming more frequent elsewhere too. Even within their Dong Huang Country, Baijiang City wasn’t the only place.

Two more locations had been discovered! One had already opened, releasing a large number of Mysterious Evils. However, they were all in regions far away from cities, and so far, they had not caused significant disasters.

Thinking of these, even the investigating officers dispatched by the state bureau had somber looks.

Zhou Bureau knocked on the table.

“Continue preparing, and get more familiar with the new-fangled devices the headquarters has sent to support.”

“And information, we need more of it, concerning the Gate of Hell.”

“Regardless, with the help of Black Blade and An Jianyou, we will have considerable aid. There’s no need to be pessimistic; we will prevail!”

…

“Caught it, the new Xiao Hei One!”

An Jianyou looked at the new Mysterious Evil before her, very satisfied. It was ugly, but this fierce kind of ugliness was a bit more pleasing to the eye than those that were plain ugly.

The main thing was its strength.

This newly captured tough Mysterious Evil was nearly three meters in size, pitch-black as if covered in ugly, flowery rocks. It looked pretty resilient.

Its strength was also formidable. Just now, with only the new Xiao Hei One, it had blown up the mission Mysterious Evil with a bang, bang, bang.

An Jianyou felt a significant sense of security.

While carrying out her task, she was also scouting for a new Xiao Hei Two target, working until past six o’clock when the sky darkened before returning home.

Tired, yet fulfilled.

After being busy all day, it was time to rest. Yes, she would snack on some treats, binge-watch a series, and maybe take a bath and put on a face mask.

An Jianyou thought of this and turned on her computer, bringing the snacks to the table.

At that moment, an invisible, somewhat familiar force descended.

In a whirl of confusion, the environment around her changed, and Ghastly Realm engulfed her, green eyes lurked everywhere.

An Jianyou: “???”

No, I don’t want to.

Body: You want to, very much.

She stepped forward.
